Chapters

Chapter 2

Daemon stepped back. His face transformed into a mask of ice and stone and absolute rejection.

"You are nothing to me." His voice carried to every corner of the silent hall. He wanted everyone to hear this. "A servant girl with no wolf. No strength. No value to offer an Alpha, let alone an Alpha King."

Each word stripped away another layer of the hope I'd stupidly let myself feel.

"The Moon Goddess has made an error," he continued. "Or perhaps this is some cruel test. Either way, I will not let sentiment or biology dictate my future."

My vision blurred. This couldn't be happening. The mate bond was sacred. Unbreakable. Given by the Goddess herself.

"As Alpha King of the United Territories, I require a Luna Queen who can stand beside me in battle." His silver eyes never left mine. Making sure I understood every word. "Someone who can lead-command armies. Inspire loyalty. Produce strong heirs."

He paused. The silence was deafening.

"You are not that Luna. You will never be that Luna."

My legs started to shake. The bond in my chest felt like an iron fist was squeezing it.

"And so," Daemon's voice rang out clear and final, "before the Moon Goddess and all assembled here as witness, I, Daemon Alaric Blackthorne, Alpha King of the United Territories, reject you, Aria Winters, as my mate and Luna Queen."

Pain.

Pure, absolute, devastating pain.

It felt like my chest was being ripped open. Like my heart was being torn out, still beating. Silver fire burned through my veins where the mate bond had connected us. Every cell in my body screamed.

I couldn't breathe. Couldn't see. Couldn't do anything but collapse.

My knees hit the marble floor so hard I felt something crack. A scream tore from my throat. Around me, the pack watched. Some looked away in pity. Others smiled. Celeste's laugh tinkled like breaking glass.

Daemon had already turned his back. Walking away like I'd ceased to exist.

"Pathetic," someone whispered.

"Told you she was cursed."

"As if the Alpha King would want that."

The bond was dying. I could feel it shattering into pieces, each break sending fresh waves of agony through me. This was how rejected mates died. The pain was too much. No one survived this.

Except.

Except something was pushing back.

Something deep inside me was fighting the pain. Refusing to break. Getting angrier.

No. The voice in my head roared. My wolf. Fully awake now and absolutely furious. We will NOT die for him. We will NOT break for a male who doesn't deserve us.

But the pain-

GET UP.

I couldn't. It was too much.

"Someone remove her," Alpha Gregor said dismissively. "Before she ruins the entire ceremony. Thomas, have some omegas clean up this mess."

GET. UP.

My wolf surged forward with a force that made my bones crack.

And then-

Light.

Silver light exploded from my body like a bomb going off.

The chandeliers burst. Glass rained down. Wolves shouted and dove for cover. The temperature plummeted so fast that frost formed on the windows.

Power poured into me where the dying mate bond had been. Ancient power. Infinite power. Power that felt like moonlight made solid.

My bones were breaking. Reshaping. My skin burned and froze at the same time. Every nerve was on fire.

I heard screaming. Realized it was me. Realized I didn't care.

Because this was it. After nineteen years of being told I was broken, after being called defective and worthless and less than nothing-

My wolf was coming.

Through the chaos and light and pain, I heard Daemon's voice. Shocked. Almost afraid.

"What-"

But I couldn't see him anymore. Couldn't see anything but silver light.

The last thing I thought before the transformation took me completely was this:

He rejected the wrong girl.

"I'm done with you, Aurora Fernandez-if that's even your name." Mia's voice trembled with rage as she turned for the door. "You'll regret refusing me," Aurora snapped behind her. Mia's hand touched the knob-just as it turned on its own. The door creaked open. Her heart dropped. Standing in the doorway was a face she never wanted to see again. Lucius Lovato. The cold, merciless CEO of the department store where she'd once worked. His eyes swept over her with visible disdain. "Who is this little thing, Eva?" he asked, his voice hoarse and biting. And just like that, Mia knew-she was trapped again. Wrongfully accused. Publicly humiliated. Betrayed by the only man she ever loved. Mia Simpson thought she'd hit rock bottom. Then came the offer-escape prison and start over, under one terrifying condition: seduce and marry Lucius Lovato, the mafia heir with a heart of ice and a soul no one dares touch. But Mia isn't the fragile girl the world thinks she is. She agrees to the deal-on her own terms. Behind her innocent eyes burns a thirst for revenge, and the deeper she steps into the dark world of power, blood, and secrets, the more dangerous she becomes. Lucius, however, is not a man easily fooled. Every attempt to break him only draws him closer. And every secret Mia hides? He already suspects. As enemies close in and her hidden past begins to unravel, Mia discovers a horrifying truth-she is not just a girl caught in the middle of a mafia war. She is the legacy of something much greater... and much more feared. He was her mission. She was his undoing. But in the underworld, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Beast World: They Hated Me, Then I Cooked Them Dinner

9.1

Waking up with a cold, scaly hand wrapped around my throat wasn't the worst part. The worst part was realizing I'd transmigrated into the body of Terra Mason—the most despised woman in the entire Enclave. She drugged high-level beast-men and forced them into life-binding bio-contracts. She locked an aquatic warrior in a dry basement until his organs failed. She treated the most lethal males in the city like broken toys. Zev, the Level 6 serpent who's currently choking me, would rather blow up his own heart than spend another day as my slave. His affection metric? Negative ninety. His trust? Zero. Then my system activates: the Kore AI. It gives me exactly 500 credits, a medical nano-gel, and a recipe for neutralizing the radioactive poison in mutant meat. Real food. In this world, that's worth more than gold. I save Rhys, the dying aquatic male everyone left for dead. I season a slab of purple mutant steak until Sam, a battle-scarred grizzly shifter, groans at the taste—and his trust points finally tick above zero. When my backstabbing ex-best friend tries to steal my males and destroy me, I don't scream or throw a tantrum like the old Terra. I dismantle her with the truth. But earning their trust means more than grilling meat. A scorpion swarm ambushes us at midnight. Sam throws himself between me and a stinger the size of my arm. As he stands over the corpse, fur receding from his claws, he stares at me and whispers, "You were testing me." Yes. I was. Because in this world, the weak don't survive. And I refuse to be weak again. Four beast-men. Four contracts. One system. And a whole lot of steak. Let this dystopian wasteland know—I'm not the monster they remember. I'm worse. I'm the one who's going to feed them until they'd kill for me.
