Chapter 3

"Congratulations, Ms. Aurora. The pup is not only very healthy, but its vitality is amazing."

The old pack doctor handed me an ultrasound report stamped with a spirit vein seal.

I took the parchment, gently rubbing the reddish mark with my thumb.

My heart finally settled. The Crimson Moon bloodline was secure.

I folded the report carefully and put it in the inner pocket of my black trench coat.

I pushed open the clinic door, but before I could reach the end of the hallway, someone blocked my way.

"What? That useless, unmarked Omega actually got knocked up?"

Jasmine.

I glared at her. "Get out of my way."

"You dare insult me?" Jasmine's perfectly made-up face twisted, but she quickly put on a winner's arrogant sneer.

She glanced at the clinic sign behind me and scoffed. "Stop pretending. I could smell your cheap pregnancy herbs from blocks away. But do you really think having some bastard pup makes you special?"

I ignored her provocation and tried to walk past her.

Jasmine suddenly stepped forward, pulled out her phone, and turned the volume to the max.

The screen lit up. Caleb's voice, full of deep affection and indulgence, echoed abruptly in the hallway.

"Jasmine, give me a little more time. Once the territory is fully secured, I'll kick that useless Omega out. I'll use all the territory's resources to throw you the grandest mating ceremony. You're the only Luna I acknowledge."

The recording ended.

The hallway went dead silent.

I looked at the phone.

My heart didn't sting like I expected; there was only a sickening numbness.

Once the territory is fully secured?

The very territory he was offering another woman was built with my own two hands.

The "resources" he planned to use for their mating ceremony were funded by my private wealth.

He was using my blood, sweat, and tears to please his first love.

Caleb, you really are something else.

"Hear that?" Jasmine put her phone away, looking down at me. "Caleb would never want a pup from a lowly Omega. Your existence will only taint his noble bloodline."

As she spoke, she slowly unzipped her expensive crocodile leather bag. The price of that bag could feed Caleb's pack for half a year.

She pulled out a blood test report stamped by the city's most authoritative werewolf hospital, her eyes flashing with crazy triumph.

Twin high-ranking wolf pups, strong heartbeats. Seven weeks pregnant.

"I'm pregnant too." Jasmine stroked her flat stomach, her smile venomous. "Caleb was thrilled. He already bought out all the top-tier maternity supplies in the city. My pups are the true heirs. So, you better abort yours, don't embarrass yourself."

I looked down, my eyes locking onto the date on the report.

Seven weeks.

Jasmine came back a month ago. That's four weeks.

Before that, she was in the Winter City up north.

If she was carrying Caleb's pups, it would be four weeks at most. How could it be seven weeks?

Not to mention the report was stamped by the local City Werewolf Hospital.

The timeline and location didn't match up at all.

But I said nothing. It wasn't time to tear off her mask yet.

"Think about it," Jasmine patted my shoulder. "Before things get out of hand."

She turned, the sound of her heels clicking away.

I crumpled the fake report in my hand.

You claim you got pregnant seven weeks ago in Winter City, but the scan is from a local clinic.

"Jasmine Vance, what game are you playing?"

  • The Rejected Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 10

    At 6 AM sharp, the convoy left the estate.Twelve black bulletproof SUVs lined up, like a royal procession.I sat in the back of the middle car, feeling the life inside my belly."How long until we're home?" I asked Magnus in the passenger seat."After passing the border tunnel, it'll take about three more hours." He glanced back at me. "The Alpha has everything ready for the bloodline awakening ceremony."I nodded, watching the scenery blur past the window.I'm never coming back here.The convoy merged onto the highway heading North. Just ahead was the border territory tollgate.Right then, I spotted a familiar figure."Stop the car," I told the driver.The convoy slowly pulled over.Next to the tollgate, Caleb stood alone, holding a white piece of cardboard.He was skin and bones, eyes sunken, sporting a scruffy beard. He had none of his former Alpha majesty.On the cardboard, written in black marker in the common wolf tongue, was:"Aurora. I was blind. In the next life, I will know m

    For the next week, Caleb knelt outside the estate gates every day.Rain or shine, he knelt there unmoving, like a statue of despair.I watched him from the second-floor window. He had shrunk down to skin and bones.On the afternoon of the fifth day, a violent rainstorm suddenly hit.I thought he would leave, but through the rain, that blurry figure was still kneeling there.The rain plastered his hair down and soaked his clothes, but he didn't budge.Just then, another figure appeared in the rain.It was Caleb's mother.She stumbled toward Caleb, then fell to her knees beside him."Aurora!" She screamed toward the estate. "Please save my son!"Her voice sounded exceptionally miserable in the rain."I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have treated you like that! That pup in your belly is a Blackstone heir! It's my grandchild!"She kowtowed in the rain, the sound of her forehead hitting the ground clear even over the storm."Please come back! The pack needs you! Caleb needs you! The pup need

    Early morning three days later, Magnus hurried into my study."Princess, something happened." His voice held a trace of disbelief. "Jasmine ran away."I put down my files. "Ran away?""Last night, claiming she was going to Silver Peak to visit her sick father and urge the Southern Alliance to invest, she asked Caleb for travel funds." Magnus handed me a report. "Caleb gave her all the remaining high-grade energy crystals in the vault, worth eight million gold coins.""And?""She never went to Silver Peak. Our people found out she fled overnight on a private airship." Magnus's expression was complicated. "Caleb was bled completely dry."I looked at the numbers on the report and couldn't help but laugh.Eight million. That was the Blackstone pack's last trump card."How is Caleb now?""Total breakdown. The pack has started to mutiny. Several elders are demanding a new Alpha election." Magnus paused. "He's been kneeling outside the estate for three days."I walked to the window, and sure

    A week later, Magnus handed me a detailed damage report."The Blackstone pack is completely paralyzed," he reported calmly. "All crystal mines are shut down, the three vassal packs have cut trade routes, and the energy vault is empty."I looked over the shocking numbers.Caleb's proud empire had collapsed in just seven days with one word from my mother."Caleb called over a dozen times wanting to see you," Magnus continued. "I refused them all, as you ordered.""What did you tell him?""I said, 'You chased away the Moon Goddess who brought you good luck yourself.'" A cold smile appeared on Magnus's lips. "He cried on the phone after hearing that."I shook my head, feeling zero sympathy.At ten o'clock that night, the estate doorbell rang.The monitor showed a thin woman standing outside."Who is it?""I'm Caleb's sister, Lydia." She bowed to the camera. "Please give me a chance. I want to apologize to you on my brother's behalf."Lydia?I remembered her. She was the only person in Cale

  • The Rejected Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 6

    I moved into the Crimson Moon family's modern werewolf estate in the suburbs.I didn't head straight back to our core territory in the North because Caleb's mother had attacked me with a silver needle.My body was already healing at an astonishing rate. The silver poison, which would have crippled or killed a normal wolf, was being systematically purged by my bloodline. But the internal battle had been draining.Mother insisted I rest here, to let the potent energy of the estate’s sacred grounds restore my strength and fully harmonize with the pup's growing power.It was a top-tier private estate covering a thousand acres. Every inch of land radiated the sacred presence of an ancient wolf clan."Princess, here is the investigation report you asked for."My head Beta assistant, Magnus, respectfully handed me a thick folder.I opened the first page and sneered.The Silver Peak pack, Jasmine's family, had their financial situation from the last three years clearly laid out.Continuous f

  • The Rejected Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 5

    "Who is that?" his mother's voice trembled.I stood up and straightened my messy trench coat.Finally here.The car doors opened at the same time, and over twenty elite wolf guards in black combat gear stepped out in perfect order.And from the back seat of the final SUV, a figure emerged whose very presence made the air itself tremble.My mother, Alpha Seraphina, the Wolf Queen of the Crimson Moon pack.She was tall, her silver-white hair blowing in the wind. Her ice-blue eyes, exactly like mine, seemed to see through everything.What was even more terrifying was the aura she gave off.It was the scent of an apex predator, so pure that it made any lower-ranking werewolf drop to their knees instantly.Caleb and his mother couldn't resist it at all. Their legs gave out, and they fell directly to their knees.Their bones cracked under the pressure, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads."Mother." I walked calmly toward her.Seraphina reached out and gently stroked my cheek, her cold ey
