Chapter 1
Three months before the rejection, Aria Ashworth applied for a transfer to the Crescent Moon Medical Center.
One month before the rejection, she mailed the rejection papers to Alpha Kane Ravencrest.
Three days before the rejection, she packed all her belongings and moved out of The Ravencrest Pack.
She decided to end the six–year bond when Kane appeared before her with his first love and her pup–a pup who called him “Alpha Daddy.” That was the moment her wolf finally howled the truth.
Since he kept choosing them over her–his fated mate, making her feel like the other woman in her own mating, she would set him free. She would walk away.
Yet when she truly vanished from his world, Kane’s wolf went feral.
She thought Kane would finally claim his first love as his new Luna. Yet, surprisingly, this untouchable, powerful Alpha appeared before the media with bloodshot eyes, his voice breaking with raw vulnerability: “I never betrayed our bond. I don’t have any illegitimate pups. I just have a mate who left me. Her name is Aria Ashworth. And my wolf is dying without her.”
Three months ago, the hospital director, Dr. Marcus Reed, held Aria’s transfer application and looked at her in astonishment. “Aría, are you certain about transferring to Crescent Moon Medical Center?”
Aria’s lashes fluttered as she smiled faintly, her expression tinged with the sorrow. “I’ve made up my mind.”
Her wolf whimpered softly in her chest, sensing the finality in her decision.
Seeing her determination, Marcus sighed and signed the paperwork.
As Aría left the director’s office, she ran into Kane and Seraphina Cross in her white coat, with a little pup.
She paused in her tracks.
The scene before her could have been a perfect pack family portrait.
Seraphina walked beside Kane, the boy beaming as he held both their hands.
The sight pierced Aria’s heart like silver.
Kane’s patience and tenderness toward them were things she’d never experienced, not even during their heat cycles.
She knew he resented their forced bond.
Seraphina had been Kane’s first love. Aria only learned they’d separated after she was bonded to Kane through a deal with his grandmother.
To Kane, she was the scheming wolf who’d stolen him away through manipulation. He never knew the truth–that she’d met him long before Seraphina, though he didn’t remember their first encounter under the blood moon.

His Rejected Luna Queen From Pack Doctor to Moon Goddess
Chapter 1
She’d believed their mating bond would make him recall their past and win his heart.
But she was completely wrong.
He despised her with the fury of a caged Alpha.
How could love grow from such hatred?
For six years, he’d claimed to be unmated in public, pretending not to recognize her scent. The proof was undeniable.
“Dr. Ashworth?” Seraphina greeted her.
Kane frowned, his amber eyes sharp as if warning Aria against revealing their bond.
The distance in his gaze sent a pang through her heart, but she maintained her composure. “Ms. Cross. Alpha Ravencrest.”
The formal address made Kane’s jaw tighten almost imperceptibly.
Kane had recently become an investor in Silverstone Medical Center. Aria knew he hadn’t done it for her, but for Seraphina.
Seraphina’s return from studying abroad, her immediate position at the hospital, and her appointment as head of surgery made his motives clear as moonlight.
Everyone in the hospital knew she had Alpha Kane’s backing, and the recent rumors that he was Seraphina’s chosen mate had never been addressed by him.
Seraphina looped her arm through Kane’s with practiced ease. “No need for formalities, Dr. Ashworth. At the hospital, you’re a veteran, and I still have a lot to learn from you.”
Before Aria could respond, the boy tugged at Kane. “Alpha Daddy, I’m tired. Can you carry me? Please?”
Aria’s expression dramatically changed at the term “Daddy“.
