All Chapters of Rejected Luna of The Cursed Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Aria’s POVI tried to wipe away the sweat on my face but the pain I was going through did not allow me. “Push…” the Valemont pack midwife called while slapping my lap.Another contraction ripped through me, stealing the air from my lungs. My fingers clenched the sheets so tightly my knuckles turned white. Sweat dampened my hairline despite the cool autumn breeze drifting through the open window.My God! Labor is this painful; no one told me. I had no one to tell me; I was an orphan with no records of who my parents were.I tried my best once more as I pushed harder; the midwife smiled at me. “I can see your baby’s head; just one more push, my Lady.”I am their lady and would soon become Luna; by law, a human wife who bears the Alpha’s heir earns the title of Luna.

I thought this was going to happen at the Luna Presentation Ceremony, where I would be crowned Luna.I glanced at him. His eyes were on me, so I quickly looked away, shutting my eyes for that rejection.My heart pounded against my ribs.Every pair of eyes in the hall seemed fixed on us.
