Rejected Luna's Unseen Bond

Before Corbin Walker became the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, he pursued me with an intensity that bordered on obsession. Everyone in the pack knew of his devotion, and I, too, believed in it—until our third year as mates.

It was during the lunar gathering, a sacred time for our kind, that I first saw the cracks in our bond. The whispers began to spread like wildfire. Corbin, my Alpha, had been seen leaving the territory of Kiara Fox, a notorious rogue werewolf, late into the night. The pack’s warriors, loyal to him yet unable to ignore the rumors, exchanged uneasy glances as I passed by the training grounds.

“Did you hear?” one of the Omegas muttered, her voice barely audible over the rustling leaves. “The Alpha was seen with Kiara Fox. It’s a scandal.”

I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. My wolf whimpered softly in the back of my mind, sensing the turmoil before I could fully process it. But I held my head high, refusing to let the pack see my vulnerability.

The next day, the evidence was undeniable. A group of young warriors, emboldened by curiosity, had followed Corbin and returned with their tails between their legs, their faces pale. They’d seen him outside Kiara’s territory, leaning against his car, sipping wolfsbane liquor—a drink reserved for moments of contemplation or regret. As Kiara approached, he moved to greet her, his posture relaxed yet commanding, as if he belonged there. She, ever the icy enigma, shoved him away, but Corbin remained unfazed. He pursued her, murmuring words I couldn’t hear but could imagine all too well.

Two hours later, he finally left, his car disappearing into the night. Kiara Fox, a rogue known for her aloofness and independence, had never been involved in such a scandal in her eight years as a lone wolf. The pack was abuzz with speculation, and the weight of it pressed down on me like a suffocating fog.

I clutched the small, crumpled piece of paper in my hand—the results of the pregnancy test I’d taken just that morning. Five weeks. I had been carrying his pup for five weeks, and now, the future I’d envisioned for our family felt like a cruel joke.

My wolf growled softly, a mix of anger and sorrow. *He’s betrayed us,* she said, her voice echoing in my mind. *He’s broken the bond.*

I couldn’t deny it. The evidence was there, undeniable and damning. I tore the pregnancy test results into tiny pieces, my hands trembling as I scattered them to the wind. Then, I made the call. The healer, Rosa, answered on the first ring, her voice soft with concern.

“Luna,” she said, using my title with the respect it demanded. “What’s wrong?”

“I need an appointment,” I replied, my voice steady despite the storm raging inside me. “And I need you to deliver a message to Corbin.”

Rosa hesitated, but she didn’t argue. She knew better than to question me in this state. “What message?”

I took a deep breath, the words heavy on my tongue. “Tell him I’m sending him the rejection declaration. And the divorce papers.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. “Are you sure, Luna?” Rosa finally asked, her voice tinged with worry.

“Yes,” I said, my voice firm. “I’m sure.”

As I hung up, I felt a strange sense of relief. The bond between us, once so strong, was now a frayed thread, and I was ready to sever it completely. I wouldn’t raise our pup in a broken relationship, not when the trust between us had been shattered so completely.

The next morning, the papers were delivered to Corbin’s office. I didn’t wait for his response. I already knew what it would be—anger, denial, perhaps even a threat. But I was done playing the dutiful Luna. I had my own strength, my own pack to lead, and I wouldn’t let his betrayal define me.

As I walked through the territory, the pack members bowed their heads in respect, their whispers fading into silence as I passed. They knew something had changed, but they didn’t dare ask. Not yet.

For now, I would focus on my duties, on the life I was building for myself and the pup I carried. Corbin Walker might have been my mate once, but he was no longer the Alpha I was bound to. I was my own Alpha now, and I would lead my pack with the strength and determination they deserved.

The night of the full moon, Corbin came to my door. I could sense his presence even before he knocked, the bond between us still faintly pulsing despite the rejection. But I didn’t open the door. I stood on the other side, my arms crossed, my wolf growling softly in warning.

“Clementine,” he said, his voice low and pleading. “Let me in. We need to talk.”

“There’s nothing left to say,” I replied, my voice cold and steady. “You made your choice, Corbin. Now live with it.”

He didn’t respond, but I could feel the weight of his regret through the bond. It wasn’t enough. Not anymore.

As I turned away from the door, my wolf whispered softly in my mind. *We’re stronger than this. We’ll survive.*

And for the first time in weeks, I believed her.
