The Rejected Rogue Was Their Lost Princess

“Luna, please don’t be upset.”

Adelynn’s voice was urgent as she grasped my hand, her eyes filled with worry.

“The Beta simply forgot the bond between you two!”

“Didn’t you find the rare herb this time?”

“Once he remembers everything…”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

But the laughter soon turned into tears, and Adelynn’s eyes welled up alongside mine.

How could I have not thought the same way before tonight?

He just didn’t remember.

He didn’t remember the depth of our connection.

He didn’t remember the vows we once shared.

That’s why he fell for Briella at first scent, eager to make her his mate.

So I risked everything, venturing into the snow-covered mountains to retrieve the legendary herb said to heal any ailment.

Before I left, I pleaded with him…

Wait for me to return before deciding on the mark ceremony.

But it was all a lie.

“When is the marking ceremony?” I asked, my voice trembling.

“The eighth of next month.”

In just half a month.

No wonder they were talking about “impending celebrations.”

I wiped away my tears.

“Adelynn, I’m hungry. I’d like some of your soup.”

“Of course, Luna, I’ll make it right away!”

As soon as Adelynn left, the room turned cold and silent.

I stared out the window at the swirling snowstorm, pulling a letter from my pocket.

“We’ll arrive in Southville in two weeks at the latest!”

But it was too late.

My mate, the one I once knew, was gone.

And there was no reason for me to stay here any longer.

I stood up and walked to the desk.

“Gamma, proceed as planned. I’ll await your message.”
