Rebirth Of The Rejected Queen Luna

Brakk!!!

The door slammed open, waking the poor girl who had just lain down her broken body an hour ago. Her heart pounded as she jolted upright. The creaky bed sounded loudly.

"Elara," she muttered weakly as she sat on the edge of the bed, massaging her throbbing head.

Now, her room door was wide open, revealing a beautiful blonde woman with striking blue eyes glaring at her in fury.

"Idiot! Lazy! Hey slave, get up and do your duties, you worthless Seraphina!" The blonde woman's voice echoed throughout the room. Ahh...more precisely, a barely habitable storage room.

"Oww... it hurts," Seraphina whimpered, trying to free herself from Elara's grip on her thick brunette hair. Tears streamed down from the pain she was trying to endure.

"Don't get cocky! Even though Luna Freya is kind to you, that doesn't mean you can be lazy. If not for her kindness, the pack members would have burned you alive!" Elara spat on Seraphina's face in disgust before walking out of the storage room.

Tears streamed down Seraphina's face. She wiped Elara's spit off her face, sobbing quietly. Her heart was not only torn by Elara's treatment but also by Alpha Evander's actions that almost drove her to despair.

Not wanting to linger and anger everyone, Seraphina climbed out of the bed, the creaky noise bothering her. She quickly cleaned herself and headed to the kitchen.

In three days, the pack was preparing for Alpha Evander's birthday. Even though the Alpha had never been kind to her, Seraphina's love for him was too great.

The Moon Goddess had chosen her to be Alpha Evan's mate, hoping that someday the truth would come out and the Alpha would love her genuinely. Naive, but that was Seraphina's hope as a mate.

**

Seraphina quickened her pace, her small legs running towards the kitchen as the day grew brighter. Not wanting to be late, she ran without looking left or right. But...

"YOU FOOL! DAMN STUPID! IDIOT!" The voice was instantly recognizable. That baritone, stern voice that always made Seraphina fall in love repeatedly. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE!"

But the words that followed tore her heart even more. She didn't dare to look at the Alpha's face. She bowed her head, trying to hold back the tears.

"ARE YOU DEAF!" Seraphina almost screamed, but it got stuck in her throat. Not only was her heart hurting, but all the muscles in her neck felt sore. Alpha Evan was choking her so hard that she felt she couldn't breathe properly.

His gray eyes were sharp and threatening. Seraphina couldn't bear to look at Alpha Evander's perfectly formed eyes, protected by a pair of sharp, bird-like eyebrows.

"I...am...sorry...Alpha. I didn't...mean to bump into you on purpose. Please, let me go." The oxygen supply in Seraphina's chest seemed to thin. Hot. Painful. She felt she could no longer breathe, as her face began to turn blue. Seraphina's hands reflexively tried to remove Alpha Evan's hands from her neck, but it turned out to be the beginning of a series of tortures inflicted by the Alpha.

Seraphina's body instantly felt shattered, especially her back. Alpha Evander suddenly threw her body hard, causing it to hit the wall. Not only was she thrown, but when Seraphina's body collapsed weakly to the floor, the Alpha walked towards her and kicked her in the stomach, causing her to cough up blood.

Shattered. That was what Seraphina felt now. Not just her body being beaten to a pulp, but her heart was even more broken.

"Weak." The feminine voice came out of nowhere. Seraphina recognized it well. While holding her terribly sore stomach, she looked up and saw Elara looking at her with disgust, smirking. "Murderer! You don't deserve to be a Luna. Weak! Coward! Especially since you can't shift!"

For the umpteenth time, Seraphina screamed softly with her head tilted back. Elara grabbed her hair again and laughed at her. While Alpha Evan just watched the scene with disgust.

Seraphina was being hurt and tortured because she was an unwanted beta. Evander, her Alpha, had a lover named Elara. They showed their affection in front of Seraphina, making her even more miserable.

Seraphina was hated because she was the daughter of Beta Tristan Blackfang, who was blamed for the death of Alpha Niamh, Evander's father, though it wasn't Seraphina's fault. But Seraphina didn't know how to explain it.

"Enough, Elara. Don't dirty your hands touching that slut," said Alpha Evan, clicking his tongue in annoyance.

"Alpha, I just wanted to warn her not to tell Luna Freya lies," Elara assured Alpha Evan.

"She wouldn't dare do that. Now, let her go and stop wasting our time!" demanded the Alpha, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Elara released her grip on Seraphina's hair with a harsh yank. No cries, no sound of pain. Everything had been drained by the pain ravaging Seraphina's body.

"When will you reject her, Darling? A mate like her is disgusting and repulsive, isn't she?" Elara clung to Alpha Evander's arm, her voice dripping with false sweetness.

Seraphina's eyes filled with tears again, her heart shattering. Although she often saw them showing affection even more blatantly, it always hurt just the same.

"Calm down, Honey. I'll definitely reject that bitch immediately. She's too low to be with me." Evander gently brushed Elara's shiny blonde hair, both of them looked at Seraphina with disgust and seemed to show that they were a very compatible couple. Then the two were seen kissing each other hotly.

'I should be the one in that position, as a mate it's my right'

Seraphina cursed herself, she looked down and avoided the gaze of the two shameless people in front of her. She wanted to scream in front of them, but she already knew what the outcome would be. There was only pain in her eyes.

The broken body did not stop Seraphina from getting up and forcing her legs to leave that place. She didn't even care about all the wounds on her body because her heart hurt more. She ran away, further and further away from them. Some of the pack residents looked at her with mocking glances and others never even considered her.

Loser? Weak?

Yes, perhaps all those ugly nicknames were deserved. Seraphina was already 23 years old but she couldn't do anything let alone change shifts. Seraphina was not good at holding a sword, nor could she hit properly, let alone use arrows. All this time, she never got the chance to practice learning any of that. The Omegas had always mistreated her because as the daughter of a Beta she was a complete disappointment.

"Hiks...hiks...hiks...mom, dad, I miss you guys. Everyone here treats me badly except Luna Freya. I just want to catch up with you guys, Alpha Evan is always hurting me..."

Now, she stood at the edge of a hidden lake. The beauty of the lake was enhanced by the presence of flowering wild plants with colors sparkling like crystals. The lake was a silent witness to the beginning of Seraphina's suffering.

'Stop your nonsense, Sera! Alpha Evan is our mate, you must fight to explain everything that happened back then!' Lysandra-the wolf in Seraphina's body mindlinked her.

"He'll never believe it, Lysa," Seraphina replied desperately.

"I don't want to return; I want to be here. The pack people won't care if I'm in the pack or not," Seraphina muttered, her hazel eyes staring straight ahead.

'Sera, what are you thinking! You have to go back. Wake up, there's still Luna Freya and Alpha Evan!' Lysandra re-mindlinked Seraphina.

"They'll be grateful if I leave. Shut up, let me calm down here!" raged Seraphina.

Silence. Lysandra had stopped talking. She would rather appear if Sera wanted her to.

Ahead stretched a beautiful lake with greenish-colored but clear water. Around it, various kinds of wild plants grew magically. They sparkled like crystals. Only he could find this hidden place. Somehow, she even remembered taking Evander to the lake when she was 11.

The hazel eyes kept scanning the surroundings. It was still the same as the last time she had been there. Seraphina never imagined her departure with Evander back then would be a night the entire pack would never forget-the beginning of Evander's hatred for her.

Seraphina's memories drifted back several years in the silence around the lake. It all started when Seraphina was 11 years old. There was a sudden, massive attack on the Aurora Guardians pack. Many of the residents were victims, even her parents, and the previous Alpha Niamh Silverhowl-Alpha.

Since then, the entire pack has blamed Seraphina for the deaths of Alpha Niamh and her parents. Seraphina's father was a Beta in the pack Alpha Niamh led. Everyone in the pack thought they died trying to protect me from a rogue attack, but only Luna Freya had never thought of it that way.

Seraphina could have chosen to leave the pack, but she still wanted to stay. Luna Freya's support always strengthened her. This Salama, Alpha Evander's biological mother, was the one who considered her a child.

"Beta Tristan, I miss you," Seraphina murmured. "Why did you just disappear? Please come back and strengthen me." Another sob sounded as Seraphina's tears began to stream down her cheeks.

SREK

Seraphina immediately stopped her crying. She immediately turned to the bushes behind her. Spontaneously, she looked down and picked up a piece of wood lying nearby. Her heart was pounding as she slowly approached the bushes. Her mind was in turmoil. She was really scared.

"What if it's a rogue?" she murmured tongue-tied. Her hands were trembling. The image of the unfortunate night's events returned to her head.

BRUAK

"What is it?" Seraphina's body instantly froze. She heard something fall. She reflexively closed her eyes out of fear. "Is today the end of my life?"

'Fool! Open your eyes and think positively Sera! Then you'll find the answer!' Lysandra mindlinked Seraphina.

'I can't fight; come to my senses! Running is useless because we'll still die,' Seraphina retorted.

'Stop that silly death talk, Sera!

"Okay, this time, you're right," Seraphina said. She began to open her eyes. She resumed her steps and broke through the bushes in front of her, and this time, the woman was completely shocked by the figure she saw-a werewolf whose fur was a lustrous gray lay covered in blood. The werewolf instantly transformed into its human form.

The log Seraphina was holding slid out of her hand. Her fear instantly disappeared. She ran straight towards the figure. Sera didn't know what was happening with the Alpha before her, but she saw that the injuries were too severe.

Sera spontaneously cast her gaze around her, looking for something to use. The woman saw some plants that could be used to treat her. Without thinking, she immediately took some leaves according to what she needed. She didn't know the plant's name, but Sera still remembered that if her father was injured, her mother always made a concoction of the leaves to treat the wound.

After getting some leaves, Sera immediately pounded the leaves using any object. Afterward, she gently applied it to the man's wound. The sound of crying sounded heartbreaking; the man's body also writhed as if responding to the reaction of the leaves.

"Hang in there; maybe the pain will be short-lived," Sera said softly.

Sera returned her attention to the figure in front of her. It seemed like the man was not an ordinary werewolf because, judging from his body size, it was bigger than other werewolves. Sera could also feel the werewolf's aura, which was different. It looked like he was an Alpha, but she needed to know which pack he belonged to.

"It's done." Seraphina looked at the man, and he looked at her. The look in his blue eyes was soothing. Sharp, but not threatening. His dark brown hair looked messy; perhaps he had just fought with a rogue or enemy.

Now, Seraphina looked confused herself. She couldn't possibly leave the man there alone.

"Thank you," he said, sounding sincere.

"You're welcome," Sera replied. "Your wound looks bad and should be treated immediately. The potion I made probably won't be enough to heal you."

"Don't worry; I've already mind-linked Betaku. She's on her way here. I'm feeling better, too. What's your name?"

"Seraphina Blackfang."

"Very pretty," the man said with a deep gaze. "I meant your beautiful name." The man immediately corrected his words and looked stunned. Sera chuckled amusedly at the man's behavior.

The sound of someone shouting instantly broke the silence of the hidden lake. Sera and the man turn their heads together at the figure of the man who seemed to be approaching hurriedly.

"Oh my, Alpha Kael! Are you okay?"

Thank goodness, Seraphina thought. Now, she could leave the man behind. It turned out to be true if the man was Alpha.

***

"I hope you wear this dress to Alpha Evan's birthday party. I can't imagine how beautiful you'll look in this dress, darling." Luna Freya presented a white box with a red strap. However, Sera just stared at it. No, it was not that she did not like the gift, but she was very afraid that Luna would be disappointed with her and Evan's relationship.

Luna Freya already knew that the princess disliked Seraphina. She knew the rest of the pack disliked her, but not Luna Freya, who had always pinned her hopes on Sera.

"I'm sorry for the way Evan treated you. Please, don't give up on him. Especially since you will soon be paired up and leading the pack." Luna Freya smiled warmly at Sera.

Sera's eyes began to glaze over. She did not expect Luna Freya to love her so much and even consider her as her child, even though the mate she loved and was proud of considered her a killer and liked to torture her.

Sera returned Luna Freya's hug. Her body seemed tired, and she needed the embrace of someone who could strengthen her. She sobbed softly in Luna's embrace.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" The cold and flat voice made Sera and Luna Freya's embrace unravel.

Sera's heart was about to burst as she stared at Evander's scary face in the doorway.

"When did you come, and why didn't you meet me immediately? Mom would rather meet that murderous bitch than me?" Evan's voice sounded full of emphasis, and they glanced sarcastically at Sera. She made the girl instantly look down, not daring to look at the Alpha's face.

"Evan, come hug mommy first," Luna pleaded with her son.

Evander softened and walked over to his mother. Even as he began to walk, that cold, frightening stare didn't stop Sera from being scared. Evan immediately hugged Luna Freya.

Luna Freya patted the back of her grown son, who was about to celebrate his 28th birthday. After a few seconds, Luna broke the hug.

"Mom is lazy to see you because that bitch is always clinging to you," Luna Freya said, sounding soft but emphatic. It made Evan's forehead instantly crease in annoyance.

"Mom, she's my lover whom I love very much. Not the way and Elara is the future Luna Aurora Guardians Pack!" Evan looked at his mother unhappily.

Meanwhile, Sera, still between them, suddenly looked up in shock. Her eyes were red with a rush of breath. It was as if a large hammer had hit her chest. A drop of tears escaped from both eyes.

PLAK!

The slapping sound was so loud that it startled Seraphina. She suddenly felt guilty. Sera looked confused and didn't know what to do now.

"Shut your mouth, Evan! It's rude of you to talk like that in front of your own eyes!" Freya's Luna tone voice sounded stern.

"SHE'S NOT MY EYE BUT SHE'S A KILLER!" Evan shouted while turning his back on Luna Freya. A flash of anger was depicted on his face.

Evan was a strong Alpha. His enemies would never survive if he caught them. There were only two options: disfigurement or a severed head.

Seraphina was visibly shaking. Her tongue was hanging out, and her head was filled with fear. Not only that, but what was more terrifying was the pain in her chest with Evan's words.

Evan turned his body back and looked at Luna Freya. Meanwhile, Luna looked at Evan with disappointment.

"I don't want it, Mom. Please understand."

It hurt. Very painful. Seraphina covered her ears tightly. She was hoping not to hear Evan's words. However, the words were already spinning in her head. It felt like Seraphina's heart wasn't forming anymore.

Seraphina really couldn't listen anymore. She dashed out of Luna Freya's room. Her cries were loud as Evan's cruel words continued to swirl around in her head.

"I'm not a murderer!" sobbed Seraphina as she ran.

"Why did he never believe me."

"Why did he choose Elara out of all the women in the Pack."

Seraphina opened the door to her dull room roughly. She hurriedly closed the door and still had her back to him. The sound of her sobbing became louder with her panting.

"Why should I be the one stuck with this problem, Moon Goddes."

Sera forced her steps to approach her worn-out bed. She came with a large, worn-out mirror that looked yellowish. She stood there and roughly wiped away her tears. The girl stood up and looked at her completely messed up appearance.

The girl pulled her shirt up to see the state of her stomach. It was bruised and still painful. It wasn't just a wound from Evan's kick but also from Evan fucking another girl.

Seraphina sobbed again, the mate bond with Evan tormenting her deeply. Every werewolf who betrays his mate, then his mate will feel excruciating pain in his stomach, resulting in bruises.

"You're really bad, Evan. Look at this blackish bruise. I'm really tormented at the thought of you making love to another girl. If you knew, I could only endure this pain," Sera muttered in a sad tone.

'Look at all this, Lys' Sera tried to scan Lysandra.

'Please, Sera, hold on a little longer. For me and Luna's sake. Please, don't give up.'

'YOU CRAZY! You don't see me this broken right now! I'm sure you feel it, too. Don't be evasive!' Sera was getting angry. She just wanted Lysandra to comfort her, but the wolf only wanted her pain to go deeper.

"I loved him. Love her very much. He's my eye, which means he's my destiny. But that destiny is also what makes me suffer. I've even seen her making love to Elara with my own eyes. That time, she saw me too, and she grinned even more at the pain I was in!" Seraphina screeched as if pouring out her frustration, her pain and everything she was feeling right now.

BRAKK!

The walls of the room rattled as the door to Seraphina's room opened with a loud bang. The girl turned her head towards the door and immediately froze where she stood.

EVAN

His gaze was so creepy that it created a tense atmosphere. His eyes were very sharp and flashed as he looked at the girl. Sera's body trembled with fear. She did not dare to look at him directly. Sera spontaneously lowered her face.

"Look at me!" His voice sounded very intimidating.

Sera timidly raised her face, but a second later, she felt her head throbbing.

PLAAKK!

The girl wasn't just shocked; she even fell because the slap was so hard. Sera even reflexively rubbed the corner of her lips as she felt something salty slipping into the crevice of her lips. She saw the red color there, and the corner of her lip was torn.

"Alpha..." She dared to look at him again.

"IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU CAUSED MY FATHER'S DEATH! YOU MURDERER! Don't know any better! You fucking bitch! You still lick my mother and poison her mind!"

Seraphina's body seemed to tremble violently. She was really scared at that moment. She tried to hold back the tears, but her chest was getting tight, and the tears were pouring down.

The girl was even more frightened when her premonition began to sense something not good. She saw the evil grin on Evan's face. Moreover, she saw the Alpha remove the leather belt from his pants. He began to advance toward Sera. The girl shook with fear and backed away. However, she was further crushed as her back felt cold and pressed against the wall. She wanted to run, but there was no opening for her to escape.

CTARR!!!

A single lash escaped the girl's leg. The pain began to radiate throughout her body, evident from Sera's expression as she bit her lower lip. The girl covered her mouth and tried to stifle her screams. Her face turned red, and she closed her eyes tightly. It was as if she felt that night was the end of her life.

"Clever! If I hear you scream, then you'll be in pain until morning!" threatened Evan.

'Moon Goddes, please help me. I can't face Evan like this,' Sera thought to herself.

CTTAARR! CTAARR! CTTAARR!

I don't know how many lashes it was. Sera began to feel her legs bleeding. It stung. It hurt. She felt almost paralyzed. However, Evan was completely out of control and didn't want to end it.

Sera's body began to stagger. Her vision began to blur. What little consciousness Sera had left gave her the courage to say something.

"Evan...I didn't kill your father." Sera's voice was low, but she was sure the Alpha heard her clearly. She saw the man stop his whipping and stare intently at the girl.

Then, suddenly, Sera's vision darkened. Everything went black, and she didn't know what happened next.

A few moments later.

Sera, who was still lying on her worn-out bed, began to blink her eyes to adjust to the incoming light. She winced as she tried to move; her whole body felt crushed. Then she held her head, which was very heavy. The girl struggled to sit up and tried to remember what had happened to her.

"Are you awake?" Sera turned her head to see a voice coming from behind her.

"Mistress Lisa." Madame Lisa was the butler of the pack. She was a nice person, although her expression was always flat.

"Eat this, finish it!" Madame Lisa handed over a bowl of porridge.

The woman's treatment often made Seraphine feel strange. While everyone hated her and treated her like crap, Madame Lisa was always fair to me.

"Thank you, Lady Lisa. But how did you know about my situation?" Sera asked curiously.

"I accidentally saw you last night. That's it, don't ask any more questions. Get some rest because tonight is the birthday party and coronation of Alpha Evander.

Seraphina's head instantly throbbed. She still couldn't forget what happened last night. However, she still had to go to the party as Luna Freya had requested.

"Mistress Lisa, why are you being nice to me?" Sera asked bravely.

"Because you are the real Luna," was the short answer. After saying that, Lisa left Seraphina.

***

Seraphina walked into the party held in the garden of the pack mansion. The garden was so beautiful with its contrasting arrangement.

As the woman walked in wearing Luna Freya's beautiful gift dress topped with Swarovski crystals, it was as if her body shone as the moonlight illuminated the crystals. Everyone immediately stared at her. Her insecurities instantly made her nervous.

"You're really beautiful, Sera." Luna Freya's voice greeted the girl and immediately hugged her.

"Your gift dress is really beautiful," Sera praised. "I really like it.

Sera's hazel eyes swept her surroundings. She caught sight of Evan chatting happily with Elara. When Evan and Sera's gazes met, the man smiled sarcastically and turned his face away.

Sera squeezed a small wooden box with a light symbol carved in the center. It was a gift for Evan, containing an amber stone given to her by her late parents that she had designed into a beautiful pendant. However, she decided against it. The atmosphere didn't allow it.

Someone's voice broke Seraphina's reverie. She saw a pack elder begin to ascend the stage. Followed by Evan. Meanwhile, in the center of the stage, there was already a large silver cup and a dagger. Everyone was focused on Evan's coronation as an Alpha Aurora Guardians Pack.

"Do you, Evander Silverhowl, want to become the Alpha of the Aurora Guardians Pack and swear to be a wise leader for his people? Take on all the responsibilities of an Alpha and protect your pack and people with your own life?" The elder's voice rang out loudly.

"I, Evander Silverhowl, am willing to become the Alpha of the Aurora Guardians Pack and promise to be a wise leader. I swear to protect the pack with my own life."

Evander said the oath in his Alpha tone. Evander took the dagger next to the chalice and scratched his hand until blood flowed profusely, which immediately fell into the silver chalice.

The moonlight shone on the cup and made it sparkle as if the moon wanted to say, 'He is the True Alpha.' This meant that the Moon Goddes approved of Evan.

After the coronation was over, Evander quickly walked up to the microphone.

"Thank you all for making time for the mini mala. I, Alpha Evan, would like to introduce the future Luna Aurora Guardians to you all." Evan's deep voice was heard throughout the party.

Seraphina looked nervous. Her heart was beating fast. Despite all the torture she had received, she still hoped Evan would consider her Luna's candidate.

"Elara Howlrunner"

Seraphina saw the figure of Elara coming up to the stage to Evander. Seraphina's body instantly froze. Her chest throbbed painfully with a feeling of utter devastation. Not only was she disappointed, but her body felt sluggish, and her knees felt boneless. The wooden box she was holding fell over.

"And to you, Seraphina. I cannot be your Mate."

Seraphina's tears escaped her. She hoped Evan wouldn't continue his sentence, but it wasn't what she expected.

"I'm Evander Silverhowl Alpha from Aurora Guardian..."

"No!" Seraphina shook her head strongly. Her tears were already flowing unstoppably.

"Reject you as a Mate."

"Stop it, Evan! Enough!" Seraphina shouted and covered her ears tightly. Everyone looked at her sarcastically.

'Get me out of here, Sera' lysandra scanned Sera.

Seraphina ran away from the party. She kept running until she entered the forest. She no longer felt the sting of Evan's lashes on her legs. Evan's words of accusation and humiliation continued to play in her head.

'Don't ever dream of being a Luna in this pack because it's not going to happen' was one of the sentences that actually came true.

Seraphina held her head tightly as she continued to run, "Aaakkh!" Seraphina screamed to reduce the pain.

The mate must not be separated. If her mate ejects her, the wolf inside her body will also die slowly, and so will Seraphina. The girl did not know where her feet would take her, but it was clear that Sera would not return. The lower part of her dress looked like it had many rips due to twig scratches.

Those two long legs ran all the way to the border of the pack. She had no idea where she was now. Her gaze was only focused on the gorge in front of her. The sound of the rushing waterfall seemed to deafen her ears.

The hazel eyes looked down; the rushing current was enough to send Seraphina straight to the afterlife.

'Sera, do it now!' Lysandra had given up as well. She even interlinked Seraphina.

'Are you sure?' Sera asked.

'There's no reason to stay, Sera. Evan has already rejected us. I can disappear without a mate. It's better now; I don't want to feel any more pain; I've been holding out, but I can't. I give up; Sera' Lysandra's voice sounded so heartbreaking.

Seraphina was completely broken, and there was no reason for her to stay. She lifted her face and looked up to see the moon shining very beautifully.

"Moon Goddes, is this the end of my life? I beg you, if I were to be reborn, I want to be born as a normal human," she said sadly.
