Rejected by the Alpha, Desired by the King 💔 Selene thought she had found her fated mate in Alpha Damon-the one destined to love and protect her. But on the night she turned eighteen, everything shattered. Rejected. Humiliated. Banished. Left broken and alone, she flees, only to be captured by the most powerful man in the kingdom-Alpha King Lucian. He doesn't see her as weak. He doesn't see her as worthless. He sees her as his. But Damon isn't ready to let her go. And as dark secrets unfold, Selene learns the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the dangerous power within her. Torn between the Alpha who broke her and the King who would burn the world for her, Selene must make a choice-before fate makes it for her. 🔥 Betrayal. Desire. Revenge. A destiny written in blood. 🔥 Will Selene rise as the Luna Queen... or be consumed by the darkness hunting her?
Selene's body trembled violently as she knelt in the thick underbrush, her chest rising and falling with ragged gasps. The mate bond's severance was unlike anything she had ever felt-a deep, agonizing chasm that tore her soul apart from the inside.
Each heartbeat throbbed with unbearable pain as if her very essence was being ripped away piece by piece.
She pressed her hand against her chest, her nails digging into the fabric of her dress. "Make it stop," she whispered into the night, her voice broken and desperate. But there was no one to hear her. No one to save her.
A sharp gust of wind howled through the trees, sending shivers down her spine. The moonlight cast eerie shadows across the forest floor, making everything feel colder and lonelier.
She had always dreamed of her mate-of finding the one who would cherish her above all else. But fate had cursed her instead, binding her to an Alpha who despised her.
A sob wracked through her, her hands clenching into fists.
"Pathetic."
Damon's voice echoed in her head, cruel and unrelenting.
Weak. Worthless. A nobody.
She squeezed her eyes shut, her body shaking with grief.
Was this all she would ever be? The rejected omega? The girl who wasn't good enough?
The sound of snapping twigs jolted her from her misery. Her head whipped up, her heart hammering. Footsteps. Heavy and deliberate.
Someone was coming.
Fear tightened her chest. She scrambled to her feet, wiping at her tear-streaked face. Had Damon sent someone after her? To drag her back and humiliate her further?
A dark silhouette emerged from the shadows, the scent of power rolling off him in waves. Not Damon. Not anyone from the pack.
This presence was stronger. More dangerous.
The man stepped forward, his piercing silver eyes locking onto hers. The air around him crackled with raw energy, thick and suffocating. He was unlike anyone she had ever encountered before.
"Who... who are you?" Selene whispered, her voice barely audibles over the pounding of her heart.
The stranger tilted his head, his gaze sharp and assessing. Then, in a voice as deep as a midnight storm, he answered-
"I am King Lucian Draven."
The Alpha King.
Her breath caught in her throat.
And from the way he was looking at her like she was the only thing in the world that mattered- She knew she was in trouble.

And on the other, I didn't want to let go of the man I loved so dearly. What should I do?!
