Rejected Alpha: Six Cubs and the Crematorium

Selene is a wandering holy healer, blessed with Moonlight Hands that can heal all living things. Five years ago, she was rescued by Wolf King Cassian, who brought her back to Silvermoon Manor as a frail wanderer he had saved by chance — only to discover that her face was nearly identical to that of Alina, Cassian's deceased ex-girlfriend. Cassian had closed off his heart after Alina's betrayal. He doted on Selene as a substitute, but never acknowledged her as his true mate. When Selene discovered she was pregnant with six wolf cubs, Cassian coldly told her: "These children will never be recognized." In shame and heartbreak, Selene detonated the gas system in the old manor wing, faking her own death and disappearing completely. Five years later, Selene returns to Silvermoon City with her six cubs, each possessing their own independent wolf soul. She is no longer that humble substitute — she is now a top trauma surgeon with supreme clearance at the Federal Medical Center, and the founder of "Moonlight Sanctuary," a refuge dedicated to taking in wandering wolves exiled by their packs. The moment Cassian learns Selene is alive, he orders a citywide manhunt. He expects her to meekly return to his territory as she once did, but the six cubs are each little masterminds — one hacks into Silvermoon City's network, another uses healing powers to sustain exiled wolves, and a third remotely manipulates the pack's alarm systems. They not only thwart their father's manhunt, but also ally with dissidents within the pack to publicly expose records of Cassian's wrongful refusal to negotiate years ago, forcing the Alpha to admit his mistakes before the Elder Council. In his desperate pursuit to win her back, Cassian gradually realizes that he has been trapped in his obsession with Alina, while ignoring Selene's true heart and strength. When he activates a forbidden blood ritual to save Selene, taking a poisoned blade from an old enemy for her, Selene finally appears at his bedside and says calmly: "I saved your life, but the bond between us is dead. Unless you're willing to give up your throne and become an ordinary man." Cassian publicly surrenders the Wolf King's scepter, kneels before her, and swears with his wolf soul that for the rest of his life, he will only be a home for her and their children. Pushed toward him by their six cubs, Selene finally chooses to forgive — but demands that he live in the "Moonlight Sanctuary" as the most ordinary volunteer.
