I was the Luna, or so I thought, until the night he stood in front of the entire pack and tore the title from me. His rejection didn't just shatter me, it broke the bond that tied us. Yet, little did he know I carried his child-a secret I would take with me and raise alone. Or so I thought until danger knocked on my door and fate dragged me to the pack I swore never to step foot in again.

Chapter 1 THE QUEEN WHO FELL

•Amar's POV

I was trembling as I stared down at the small white plastic stick in my hands.

My hands were shaking violently as if an electric current was passing through it.

I held onto my clothes tightly to keep it from shaking so badly as I waited.

My heart was pounding so hard.

The thumping sound was all I could hear as it echoed against the wall of the room.

I closed my eyes for a moment and began to desperately mutter words of prayer.

"Please," I whispered to the Moon Goddess unsure wether she was hearing me.

I kept talking even though I wasn't even sure what I was asking for anymore.

The pregnancy test felt heavy in my palm, heavier than my crown had ever been.

"Please," I murmured one last time before I slowly and reluctantly opened my eyes.

I looked again, and my eyes widened as a small scream tore out of my mouth.

There was two pink lines.

I staggered backwards, my legs instantly failing me at this critical time.

Joy-white, hot and blinding tore through me like an express train.

My heart rate skyrocketed as I let out a scream that bore all my emotions.

There was frustration, fear, disappointment, anxiety-all leaving as I screamed.

There was finally two lines.

There was finally hope.

After several months of staring down at the single lines that crushed it wickedly.

I shook uncontrollably as I set the pregancy test stick on the counter.

I was breathing so hard as I gripped the edge of the sink tightly.

I looked up and my eyes met my reflection in the large gold rimmed mirror.

The woman who stared back at me had dark messy hair and wounded lips.

Her eyes were red from crying too many nights alone in here matrimonial bed.

Depression was taking her while her husband worked late at his office.

I was that woman.

I slumped against the counter as the tears started flowing down my cheeks.

But for the first time in months, they weren't tears of sadness.

I was pregnant.

I was finally pregnant.

And this would change everything.

My mind wandered to last week when Kade had barely looked at me during dinner.

His plate had sat untouched while he had been reading the pack reports.

"The council is asking questions again," he had said without looking up.

I had stilled instantly because I knew what was about to come next.

"When shall we birth heirs Amara, for the future of the pack?" He demanded.

The words had hit me hard.

I wanted to tell him that we were trying and that these things took time.

I had looked up to meet his sharp eyes and saw his jaw tight with frustration.

I made to speak, but the cold look that glazed his eyes halted me.

But now I had an answer.

Now I had hope.

We had been married two years.

Our mating ceremony had been the most wonderful day of my life.

I had anticipated the happiness in my marriage until I wasn't anymore.

The mating ceremony had taken place under the Harvest Moon.

I could still remember how the crown felt when they placed it on my head.

I could still recall how Kade's eyes had been shining with love and pride.

"Do you, Amara Nightshade, accept Kade Blackwater as your mate and Alpha?" the officiating elder, Sage had asked.

"I do," I had said in a whisper and meant it with every fiber of my being.

"And do you, Kade Blackwater, accept Amara Nightshade as your mate and Luna?"

Kade' eyes had scanned me from head to toe before he opened his mouth to speak.

"I do. Amara will give me strong pups and rule beside me with wisdom."

The pack had cheered, and everything had felt perfect and eternal then.

But that was before the disappointment, before the council started to whisper.

That was before I heard fragments of conversations I wasn't meant to.

The elders whispered to my husband to consider other options as I was barren.

Once, I had heard them offer Elara, the princess of the Moonridge pack.

"She is from a fertile bloodline. Her mother had six pups," elder Thorne haf said.

My hand had instantly flown to my mouth to stop the gasp that escaped it.

I had pressed myself against the wall while straining to hear even more.

"I am mated to Amara," Kade had said, but i noticed his voice lacked conviction.

"Strategic alliances have been broken before fir the good of the pack."

"Maybe, maybe not," Kade had shrugged and my heart had shattered.

I had run to our room and cried until my eyes were swollen shut.

But now, as I stared at this pregnancy test, I knew all that was going to be over.

This baby would fix everything.

It would remind Kade why he had chosen me and why we belonged together.

A soft knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Luna Amara," the voice of Marie, on eof my younger maids called from outside.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The Alpha has requested your presence in the great hall for a pack assembly"

I smiled broadly.

This was perfect timing.

"I'll be right there," I called back.

I heard her footeps as she retreated.

I leaned down and splashed cold water over my face and hurriedly fixed my hair.

Then I carefully wrapped the pregnancy test in a tissue and tucked it into my pocket.

Tonight would give Kade the news that would change everything.

And I would do it in front of the entire pack that had been hasty to call me barren.

I chose my best dress, did my makeup and hair and prepared for the assembly.

I was Luna of Silvergrove pack who was carrying the future Alpha.

The hall was buzzing with pack members and conversations when I came.

Tonight, my nerves were on fire.

I spotted Kade who was standing near the fireplace with his broad shoulders tense.

He wore dark shirts and pants, and even from across the room he was beautiful.

I started walking toward him with my heart hammering hard against my ribs.

The pregnancy test felt as if it was quickly burning a hole in my pocket.

"Kade," I said when I reached him and hee turned to look at me.

My breath hitched as I met those green eyes that always set me on fire.

They were cold and distant, nothing like the man who had promised me forever.

Still, I continued to speak.

"Can I speak with you? I have something rather important to tell you."

He didn't even acknowledge my smile or the excitement that sat in my voice.

"Not now Amara!" He snapped in his loud Alpha voice that instantly rattled me.

My eyes widened as I stepped back.

Fear began to creep up my spine as I realized that something was wrong.

The pack sensed it too and conversations died as Kade stepped forward.

"I, Kade Blackwater, reject you, Amara Nightshade, as my mate and Luna."

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
