Rejected Under the Moonlight, Claimed by the Lycan King

12·summer

Rejected under the moon. Claimed by a king born of shadows. And caught between two destinies that want her blood. On the night meant to save her life, Elaine is publicly rejected by the Alpha’s son—her supposed fated mate. Labeled wolfless, weak, and unworthy, she is humiliated before her entire pack as the bond snaps and agony tears through her soul. But the Moon Goddess does not abandon her. Her pain summons something older… darker… far more powerful. When a roar shakes the forest and the air splits with ancient magic, the Mooncrest pack collapses in terror. From the shadows steps the Lycan King—the ruthless ruler feared across the realm, a man whispered to be a monster in human skin. And he came for her. With a single touch, he lifts Elaine from the ashes of her rejection. With a single command, he claims what the pack tried to destroy. “From this moment, she belongs to me.” Dragged into a world of court intrigue, blood feuds, and deadly secrets, Elaine soon discovers three terrifying truths: • She is not wolfless. Something inside her is awakening. • Her rejection was not an accident—it was planned. • And the Lycan King didn’t just claim her… he might need her. But danger hunts her at every turn. The packs want her dead. The king’s enemies want his throne. And fate wants a debt repaid in blood. With a power she cannot control and a king she cannot resist, Elaine must choose: Run from the destiny that shattered her… or rise as the queen destined to rewrite the laws of their world. One rejection changed her life. One king will change her fate.
