Chapter 1 The Ceremony of the Moon

The moon was up already in the sky, generously glowing over our pack and the surrounding forest. I could feel how uneasy everyone was, as we made our entrance to where tonight's mating will take place. It's supposed to be a joyful gathering, but it's still in a gathering like this that the fate of many is changed and destroyed forever. Only a few get lucky to have their heart desires.

The Moon Ceremony is big. It is worthy to note that it's in a gathering like this, that the Moon goddess, rightly reveals the fated mates in our midst. I noticed that people around me waited patiently for the full moon to appear, but not so with me today, I appeared a little bit off, and a knot formed in my belly all of a sudden.

I stylishly entered the crowd, doing my best to blend in and go unnoticed, but all I could get from people were discriminating stares. I knew exactly what was in their minds; Liora Nightingale, a weak and poor Omega with no good family status, why did she even bother coming here to disgrace herself by showing up?

I had always dreamed of witnessing this great ceremony of mating, but my status and background didn't allow me to participate, and today, I decided to show up against all odds, just to witness those being mated. I clenched my fists so hard, giving deaf ears to their murmurs and focusing on what brought me here tonight.

"Come to think of it, why am I here tonight in the first place? Maybe they are right, I don't have a place here" I asked myself in a whisper, as I held tightly to the small silver pendant, which was a gift from my mother. It has the shape of a crescent moon, and can also be described as a family heirloom, but holding it tonight didn't give me the excitement I always have holding it, rather, it felt heavier than I can remember. "Nothing ever goes in my favor, not even my mother's gift to bring me luck."

My best friend, who has been more than a friend and a confidant, Mira, noticed my damp mood and encouraged me to cheer up. "Come on bestie, oh Liora dear, don't allow their stares to intimate you, this damp mood does not go well with your pretty face. Tonight could, you know, be your favorite night ever. You might be lucky to be mated to someone today!"

I playfully rolled my eyes dramatically at her. "Yeah, you are very right. And maybe, to break the great record, pigs could also fly even without wings." I tried my best to concentrate on my best friend's jokes, but they were not helping matters. I wasn't sure if I was ready to even be with someone as their fate mate.

Not me believing in fairy tales only to witness another thing in real life. I couldn't forge ahead after seeing and witnessing how cruel people were being treated and how callous fated mate could be sometimes. I also have the experience of how messy things could be if one is rejected. ... Something that the likes of Alpha Jaxon Blackthorn derive joy.

Just having Jaxon in my thoughts was able to ruin my night. Talk of the devil and he would appear with extra wings, just as I turned to face the crowd once more, there stood before me, Jaxon. For some moment, I sheepishly gushed at his beauty, those broad shoulders, those piercing blue but charming eyes.

As the Alpha, many wished and longed to become his Luna. On standing up, I noticed him towering over everyone around, well-built and masculine. He is known to be a good leader, even though he tries to portray a mean and stern appearance sometimes, maybe that's what leadership is all about, you can be kind and mean at the same time.

But tonight, I noticed his face was without an expression, having a cold and distant appearance. "I pity his mate tonight," I said to myself while beholding his countenance. In a blink, his intense gaze locked with mine, and I could shamelessly feel my cheeks burning, but I had no reason why I felt like that. I looked away quickly, embarrassed for holding a gaze with him, and I cursed myself silently for allowing his thoughts to occupy my head.

All of a sudden, Elder Marcus stood up and signaled everyone to keep quiet with his hands. The crowd wasted no time in focusing their gaze on him, everywhere dead as the graveyard, but the sound of the gentle breeze of the night was still heard.

"Tonight, a beautiful night, under the coverage of the merciful and watchful eyes of the Moon Goddess, we shall learn who is destined to be mated," he said as he addressed the crowd, his voice commanding like his age.

The elders, as was the tradition, moved forward and began their ancient chant, this has been from time past. For me, this is the best part of the ceremony, because the spirit of the Moon goddess will be summoned, and people can seize that opportunity to make wishes. As the elders chanted, their voices kept rising and falling, but in a harmonious rhythm.

I suddenly felt a strange but strong and usual pull in my chest, something I never witnessed since my existence. My heartbeat not only quickened but doubled its pace. I also noticed something strange on my pendant, I looked, and behold, it was a faint glow.

"What in the world... what could this be?" I asked no one but myself, making sure to grip the pendant tightly to my chest.

Elder Marcus and the rest of the elders stopped mid-chant, his eyes full of surprise as he announced his findings. Moving his eyes from me to the moon, he continued, "The Moon Goddess has made her selection, she has finally spoken," he announced again, but this time, he was smiling. "The great Alpha Jaxon Blackthorn... the Moon goddess has found your mate, your fated... mate is..."

Everywhere became silent, as everyone anticipated the big announcement while they were breathing. My heart was normal responding to my body, as it was pounding beyond my control. l could bait that everyone noticed my tension and the beating of my heart. All of a sudden, I wanted to be everywhere but the gathering I am right now. I wish I could disappear, or melt into the air, blending in without a trace.

"Your fa..ted mate is... is Liora Nightingale."

For a second, everywhere went dead, not even the breeze dared to interrupt the moment. Every pair of eyes present, turned in my direction, as I stood frozen to death. My mouth refused to close in disbelief. All of a sudden, people started getting their voices, everyone seemed to have gotten their breath, and the murmurs returned again but in a hushed tone. "How, an Omega? His mate?" "How could that be possible?"

I looked up in time to meet Jaxon's emotionless gaze. My heart cut into different pieces, his eyes void of any expression. As he made to take a few steps forward, his mother and cabinet members rushed to him and whispered something to him. From his expression, while he spoke with them, one could deduce he was unhappy. He finally stepped forward to make a speech, and my heart cut even before he started.

"I, the great Alpha of Silver Pack, Jaxon Blackthorn, hereby reject Liora Nightingale as my fated mate."

His words, though few, pierced through my heart and sliced it into pieces. The earth at that moment, stopped moving, everything seemed to act in synarchy with the Alpha against me. I stood speechless, expecting to collapse at any moment. The humiliation, the emotional torture, and the tag as a weak and rejected wolf were too much.

Jaxon quietly turned around, and without saying another word varnished in a blink. And right there in the clearing, I was left on my own. At the same time, the moon seemed to increase its intensity in shining, I was at the mercy of every eye present.

All of a sudden, I felt a familiar hand on my tender shoulder, it was my best friend, Mira, her face was the only one with a different expression - sympathy. But I quickly pulled away from her grip, distancing myself immediately from both her and the crowd.

"Never," I muttered to myself, "I won't allow this to break me down. The Alpha doesn't deserve my tears, no one does."

At this point, whatever awaited me at the front was uncertain, but I was determined not to let it end my story. I will bounce back someday, greater and stronger.

>>>>>>>>>

The days after the Moon Ceremony came out boring and plain. Even as I went about my daily activities, people kept staring. Their eyes never left me as if they had one thing to say or the other. The worst was not those mocking me, but those with pitiful eyes. Some were curious to know if I was cursed, others said it was a punishment for my sins.

Not quite long after, I got a new name in the pack, and people kept whispering as I went, "Almost Luna, but rejected by the Alpha," they would say. "What a poor Omega. What is she going to do now to clean her name?"

"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.

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?

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
