Pursuing My Rejected Luna

Skye Winters never wanted to be Luna.

But when the mate bond snapped into place at her eighteenth birthday, binding her to Alpha Jaxon Vale, it should have been a dream come true. She'd loved him from afar for years. But Jaxon didn't want her—he accused her of trapping him, forcing the bond, married her only because the pack demanded it, and has spent three years making her feel like an obligation he can't escape.

Skye tried to be the perfect Luna, the perfect wife, the woman he might one day choose to love. But when her sister Cassandra returns with a son she claims is Jaxon's, everything shatters.

Jaxon moves them into the Alpha house. He names the boy his heir. And chooses her sister first at every opportunity.

When Skye nearly dies because of Jaxon's choices, something inside her dies first—the desperate hope that kept her chained to a man who will never see her as more than a burden.

Now Skye is done begging. Done compromising. Done watching her husband build a family with her sister while she stands in the shadows.

She wants a divorce. But breaking a fated mate bond isn't simple—especially when she's carrying a secret that could trap her forever. As pack politics, family pressure, and her own broken heart collide, Skye must find the strength to walk away from everything she thought she wanted.

The only question is: will Jaxon let her go?

Or will he finally realize what he's losing when it's already too late?

Of all the futures I imagined for myself, I never dreamed one day I would have to choose between my husband and my unborn child.

My hand trembles as I smooth down the front of my dress—a soft blue one that Jaxon once said he liked. I've spent an hour on my appearance, wanting to look my best when I tell him about the baby. Wanting him to remember why he married me in the first place.

He might not want to, but I owe it to the little life in me to try.

I touch my stomach briefly, gathering courage. "Your father is going to want us," I whisper. "I know he will."

He wants a divorce. I’m sure of it. Actually, I think that’s what he wants to talk about today. He called a meeting of the elders, and he told me to make myself presentable today. I can’t imagine anything else the almighty Alpha could be so nervous about.

Unbonding with one’s fated mate is not easy. Not for an Alpha.

I’ve been bracing myself for today, and I would have accepted my fate, if it weren’t for the unexpected result of this morning’s check-up. Jaxon made me see the doctor because I haven’t been at my best on the training ground lately. Turns out it wasn’t sickness, but the best thing that could ever happen to us.

So I came early.
