Aria never wanted to stand in the center of the Moonlight Ceremony, surrounded by wolves who despised her. But one touch on the moonstone changed everything. The mate bond snapped into place with Alpha Kael-the strongest wolf in the Western Pack. His breath hitched. Her pulse raced. But Kael saw only the omega girl with no wolf. And with a voice sharp enough to carve through bone, he rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. Completely. Aria collapsed, choking on a pain that wasn't just heartbreak-it was rejection ripping through soul and blood. And then...there he was. Cain. The younger Alpha twin. Calmer yet far more dangerous. He knelt beside her, touched her trembling cheek, and felt the bond spark between them-a rare instant second bond. "If he doesn't want you," he whispered, "then I claim you." One rejection. One claiming. Two brothers. If Kael broke her...Cain claimed her.

Rejected by One, Claimed by Another. Chapter 1 Mate

The fog around Aria grew stronger as she went deeper into the forest, her hands over her head as she tried to see but the mist only got thicker and the wind,heavier.

"Is anyone there?" she called out loudly pushing forward as the wind increased and blew heavily towards her. It felt like it was stopping her from going forward.

But she only kept moving. Wanting to see what was at the end.

"Your place isn't here child, leave." She heard a voice say as the fog cleared slowly. She squinted her eyes to see a woman with a fur coat holding a lantern in her hand.

"Why do you keep bringing me here?" Aria asked with a loud voice and the ground under her feet rumbled.

"Leave!" the lady said and vanished, Aria looked around trying to find her way back but the fog grew closer to her until it consumed her sight and she saw nothing else.

She jolted from the bed with a loud gasp as her eyes snapped open blinking with shock.

"Gosh." She groaned lowly running her hand through her hair and sighed.

"A nightmare?"

She nodded slowly and looked up to see her best friend Lynn seated beside her.

"The usual ones or another scary one, you know what don't tell me, you need to get up and get ready,the moonlight ceremony begins at noon." Lynn said excitement behind her tone as she stood and pulled Aria with her.

"That's today?!" Aria asked in disbelief and Lynn breathed out shaking her head in dismay.

"Check your calendar fool, we get to meet the Alpha's tonight, we're not missing it so get ready on time please!" Lynn muttered and Aria rolled her eyes.

She was never excited for things that concerned her pack because she knew she would always be forgotten once the real Wolf fun started.

"Alright I'll get ready, go now." she said drawing a wide smile on her lips to satisfy Lynn.

"Good girl, I'll be back by four okay?" Lynn said as she turned and left the room. Aria exhaled slumped in her bed once more and took in deep breaths.

Her mind spiralled back to Lynn's words and her gut twisted just by the thought of seeing the faces of people who disregarded her every single day.

She took a deep breath and found her feet heading towards the bathroom to wash off the creepy feeling she had from her nightmare.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Lynn wouldn't stop grinning beside Aria as her eyes did a marathon on every male wolf in the Hall While Aria remained composed trying to avoid the preying eyes of the people.

She couldn't help but feel out of place with the disgusting look and murmurs they kept sending her way. Being the only omega present among Alphas and Betas really stirred up words amidst the crowd.

"The moon goodness will never accept her essence. She's powerless, what can she give her mate?" She heard some ladies murmur behind her and her heart arched.

It came from all Angles and just Once, Once she hoped to be seen as a Fragile Orphan girl who was still healing from the loss of both her parents than a powerless Omega who couldn't contribute to the fulfilment of a ceremony.

"Lynn I'm-."

"We Welcome you all present here tonight to the moonlight ceremony of the Western pack, As we come into the reign of our new Alpha, it is mandatory that he seeks the face of the goddess to show him his fated mate and that is why you beautiful maidens have been gathered tonight, From the highest rank to the lowest, you all will get the chance to give a drop of your essence and let the goddess find the chosen one." Beta Tharren said with a firm loud voice that echoed In every corner of the hall. The ladies all grinned in whispers as excitement and joy glittered on their faces.

"Its finally happening Aria, get excited!" Lynn squeaked beside Aria who seemed lost from Beta Tharren's words.

The time for the ceremony came and the maidens were already outside with here hopes and expectations lingering everywhere.

Aria held the hemp of her gown tight as she brought debated on what to do, they were three others and she and Lynn were together in one. She kept her eyes locked with the stars, her heart racing in her chest.

The sounds of drums filled everywhere, the whole place lit up with candle lights and fire flies setting the atmosphere right for an auspicious moment which was about to begin.

"Accept these ones Great goddess and show us who our next Luna will be, may she bring peace and harmony to us and the packs beyond."

The clouds cleared and the moon rose shining brightly on them all.

Aria's Gaze shifted to the glowing moonstone as her feet moved closer slowly.

"see me, please." She whispered, to low for anyone else to hear. Her hand trembled at her side as she drew in shaky breaths, then with all the courage she could gather, she pressed her palm against the cold moonstone.

She let out a little wince as she felt a little cut in her palm, a stain of her blood left off as she pulled her hand away.

The Doors flew open and everyone turned. Silence swept the ground as two towering figures stepped in.

The alpha twins. Tall, broad shouldered, and commanding.

Even with their resemblance it was impossible to mistake one for the other. Kael's storm gray eyes were fierce and sharp edged. He carried himself like a blade unsheathed, his Alpha Aura flooding the room.

Beside him was a Cain, the younger twin, Calm yet no less powerful, had eyes like the color of the clouds right after the sun rise, piercing and unrelenting.

Every maidens breath hitched. But Aria froze. Her chest tightened, Her pulse skipped wildly. The moment Kael's gaze locked with hers something snapped into place.

His steps faltered for a second as his Nostrils flared. His eyes narrowed as if he too had being struck by lightning.

"Mate."

Everyone gasped.

Aria's wolf howled in recognition clawing in her chest. Her knees nearly buckled and her palm trembled where it had touched the moonstone.

Kael's jaw clenched. His broad shoulders stiffens but his gaze refused to leave hers and at that instant, Aria knew the goddess had chosen.

The bond burned like fire through her veins urging her to move forward. Yet in Kael's eyes, there was no Warmth, only a glint that made her heart stumble. Something she couldn't name

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
