The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

The disbelief turned to rage, boiling so fast I felt it surge through my veins. "You're sending me back? What do you take me for, Nathan? A useless object you no longer need?"

He sighed, still staring at the mirror. "Whenever I need you, I'll send for you."

I took a step in his direction and lunged at him, my hand striking his chest as rage surged through every part of my body.

"You bastard! You think you can just throw me away when it's convenient for you?!"

He caught my wrists with ease, holding me in place. His grip wasn't rough but it was strong. His eyes locked onto mine.

"The maids are watching, Luna Clarissa. What will they say when they leave here? That our almighty Luna was fighting with her mate?"

"You started this first!" I yelled. I was past caring. My name was already a favourite topic among the domestic in the entire pack. How would this make a difference? I tried to hit Nathan again, but he caught my hand again, pulling me closer to him, so I was directly on his heat.

Then he leaned in.

So close that our breaths mingled.

"Either this…" his voice was dangerously low, barely a whisper against my skin. "…Or rejection."

I froze.

The ultimatum hung heavily in the air between us. My mind raced with the implications of both choices. Rejection from an Alpha meant more than just the end of our marriage – it meant exile, shame and the loss of everything I had ever known.

My mother would be devasted, our family's standing – my father's legacy in the pack would be damaged. I searched Nathan's face, hoping for something – a bluff, a lie, anything that would prove he didn't mean what he was saying.

But Nathan was serious.

Dead serious.

Rejection.
