His Rejected Luna Queen

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

KELLY THOMPSON'S POV

Oh moon goddess, I can’t help but feel so attached to him, yet it’s heartbreaking that he’s never once looked my way with those dangerously attractive blue eyes. No, instead, his thoughts and affections are glued to that annoying girl, Betty Nord. Ugh, it’s infuriating!

But honestly, why am I even bothering? My parents, loyal betas to Alpha King Don Bentley, made the ultimate sacrifice two years ago during the deadly battle against the North pack to save his son, Jason.

In acknowledgment of their bravery, the Alpha King boldly declared, “The daughter of the Thompsons will marry my first son, the Alpha heir Jason Bentley, on her eighteenth birthday, once she’s awakened her wolf.”

I have to admit, I loved every bit of that speech at my parents’ funeral for one big reason: I had a secret crush on Jason, but I never had the guts to tell him.

Of course, Jason was already smitten with that girl Betty. He’s like a lovesick puppy chasing after her just because she looks just like his late mother, Jane Bentley, who died giving birth to him. Ever since, the Alpha King has been alone.

Jane was this tall, slender blonde who was also a Luna Queen. Her light green eyes sparkled like emeralds, making her look like a goddess among humans.

Now, me? I don’t resemble her at all. I’m eighteen, standing at 1.65 meters and weighing 85 kilograms. With my black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin marked by generous curves, I guess it's safe to say I’m a proud, chubby werewolf gal.

The big issue? I still haven’t gained my wolf, and that’s beyond frustrating. Even that unbearable Betty has already gotten hers and left our pack to train as a nurse in the East pack school, our ally.

So, this morning, I found my way to the pack’s temple. I lit some incense sticks and prayed to the goddess for my wolf.

Not sure if she heard me, but when I got back to my room, I got the shocking news that I’m supposed to marry Jason.

I found out that the Alpha King had gone straight to his nineteen-year-old son and told him it was time to marry.

Unsurprisingly, Jason wasn’t thrilled about it and even had an argument with his father. But the Alpha King, using his royal authority, got Jason to agree to the plan.

Jason even asked the ruler of the South pack to pick a date for the wedding.

“Tonight at midnight,” the Alpha King declared, his voice booming.

11 PM (ONE HOUR UNTIL THE FULL MOON)

Jason is waiting for me, looking bored, while I can hear the other young werewolf girls behind him gossiping about me, the bride they’ve dubbed “the luckiest ugly girl in the whole world.”
