Rejected by the Moon, Chosen by Fate The night of the Blood Moon was supposed to seal Aurora’s fate as Luna. Instead, it shattered her world. When Alpha Kian, the mate she had loved since childhood, discovers she carries another’s child, he rejects her without mercy—breaking their bond in front of the entire pack. Stripped of her title, cast out, and branded a disgrace, Aurora is forced to flee, carrying nothing but heartbreak and an unborn heir to a legacy she never asked for. But the Moon Goddess does not abandon her own. In the depths of her despair, she crosses paths with him—a man more powerful, more ruthless, and far more dangerous than the mate who cast her aside. The world calls him a monster. A beast. A heartless Alpha feared by all. But to Aurora, he is something far worse… her second-chance mate. Now, as her past hunts her and dark forces rise, Aurora must make a choice: Forgive the mate who shattered her… or embrace the one who would burn the world for her. But destiny is not kind, and when the truth behind her rejection is revealed, Aurora realizes… she was never just a rejected Luna. She is the key to a prophecy that could destroy them all. ---

Cinco anos atrás, Qiao Nian foi vítima de um plano de sua irmã, Qiao Xin. Após passar uma noite com um estranho, Qiao Nian engravidou. Ela não sabia quem era o pai da criança e acabou dando à luz a um natimorto. Sob as maquinações de sua mãe e irmã, Qiao Nian foi despojada de suas ações no Grupo Qiao e enviada para um hospital psiquiátrico. Cinco anos mais tarde, sua irmã mais nova, Qiao Xin, estava prestes a se casar com o Segundo Jovem Mestre da família Gu. Ele tinha fama de ser extremamente feio. No dia em que nasceu, o médico previu que ele não viveria mais de vinte anos. Sua mãe não suportava ver Qiao Xin casar com uma pessoa dessas e pensou em Qiao Nian, que ainda estava trancada no hospital psiquiátrico. Durante a noite, Qiao Nian foi tirada do hospital para substituir Qiao Xin em seu casamento com a família Gu. Sua mãe disse, "É uma boa coisa que Qiao Nian, essa inútil, possa substituir Xin'er e ser uma viúva viva na família Gu. Se Xin'er casasse com aquela família, eu ficaria arrasada." Qiao Xin disse, "Mãe, não fale assim da Irmã. Se não fosse por ela, eu não saberia o que fazer. Só estou preocupada que a Irmã não aceite." Seu pai disse, "Xin'er, você é bondosa demais. Esqueceu como Qiao Nian te difamou há cinco anos? Ela não tem autocontrole. Engravidou antes do casamento e ainda deu à luz a uma criança natimorta. Estamos sendo bons o suficiente ao deixá-la se casar com alguém da prestigiosa família Gu! Que direito ela tem de ser exigente?" Qiao Nian debochou. Na época, a conspiração contra ela só tinha dado certo por causa de uma combinação estranha de fatores, fazendo-a sofrer. Ela ia se vingar de todos eles! Todos pensavam que suas ações eram fruto de uma combinação de mentalidade de perdedora e doença mental, mas mal sabiam eles que esse casamento seria uma união poderosa, tão impactante quanto Marte colidindo com a Terra! Aproveitando suas habilidades brilhantes em medicina, Qiao Nian fez várias pessoas desprezíveis e canalhas engolirem suas palavras. Num piscar de olhos, suas múltiplas identidades chocaram o mundo à medida que cada uma delas foi exposta. Acontece que ela era rica o suficiente para rivalizar com um país! Depois, o Segundo Jovem Mestre Gu colocou um par de miniaturas clones de Qiao Nian diante dela. Diante dessas duas crianças que se pareciam com ela e Gu Zhou, Qiao Nian piscou em choque. "Quando foi que eu dei à luz aos seus filhos?"

"M... Marissa! São meus filhos?" Os olhos de Rafael não se desviavam do rosto adorável das crianças. "Não, Rafael. Eles não são," disse Marissa com um sorriso falso, "Eles não são seus. Lembra?" ela piscou os cílios de maneira bem dramática, "Nunca fomos casados!" A irmã mais velha de Marissa Aaron, Valerie Aaron, abandonou seu namorado cego no dia do casamento e fugiu. Para salvar a aparência, a família de Merissa implorou para que ela se casasse com Raphael Sinclair. A ironia? Ela não podia dizer ao seu marido cego que não era Valerie, mas sim Marissa Aaron. No dia da bem-sucedida cirurgia de olhos de Raphael, Marissa ficou sabendo que Valerie havia voltado para tomar seu lugar de direito como nora dos Sinclair. Marissa tentou explicar ao marido que era ela quem havia se casado com ele, mas ele não acreditou. Em vez de tentar mais convencê-lo, a desolada Merissa decidiu deixar a cidade sem contar seu segredo. Raphael Sinclair era a clássica definição de galã e o único herdeiro do Grupo Sinclair de Indústrias. O que ele faria ao descobrir que todo esse tempo a mulher que lhe ofereceu amor e seu corpo não era Valerie, mas sim sua irmã mais nova Marissa Aaron? Como ele reagiria ao saber que era o pai dos bebês que Marissa estava esperando? Ele iria atrás de Marissa e reconquistaria seu amor? E a pergunta de um milhão de dólares! Marissa seria capaz de perdoá-lo e amá-lo novamente?

You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.
