REJECTED MATE, MOON GODDESS

Sera is the pack’s most useless Omega. On the night of the mating ceremony she waits for her fated mate, Kael—but Kael walks to the altar with her foster sister, Lyssa, and rejects her before the whole pack. Lyssa tears the crescent pendant from her neck, and the pack banishes the pregnant Sera into the wasteland, tying her to a dead tree to freeze. Just as she loses consciousness, Zion, the Alpha King, appears through the storm. He says the Moon Goddess promised her to him at birth, and under a blood moon Sera awakens as the swapped true princess. She strips Kael of his wolf blood, exposes the false elder Morvan, and turns him to ash with a golden crescent. Sera takes the throne and accepts Zion’s proposal. On the festival night she gives birth to a golden-eyed daughter—and hears the Moon Goddess’s voice. She is not merely her descendant; she is her reincarnation.
