"Ako, si Alpha Damon Lockwood, ay tinatanggihan ka, Sienna De Luca bilang aking mate at Luna," pahayag nito habang nakatitig sa kanyang mga mata sa harap ng buong pack. Natulala si Sienna sandali, at matapos makita ang kanyang ina na umiling para pigilan siya, huminga siya nang malalim at sinabing: "Ako, si Sienna De Luca ay tinatanggap ang iyong pagtanggi, Alpha Damon." Sa gitna ng pagkagulat at kahihiyan, napilitan si Sienna na lisanin ang pack bago pa siya makapaghatid ng mas matinding kahihiyan sa pamilya, sabay tingin sa pregnancy test sa loob ng kanyang bag. Alam niyang magiging mahirap ang lahat, ngunit nang mahanap siya ng Alpha pagkalipas ng siyam na buwan, nagbago ang ikot ng kanilang kapalaran.

"Ben, Alfa Damon Lockwood; seni, Sienna De Luca'yı eşimdi ve Luna'm olarak reddediyorum," dedi, tüm sürünün önünde onun kendisini kabul etmesini bekleyen kızın gözlerinin içine bakarak. Sienna bir an dona kaldı; annesinin yapmaması için başını sallayan yalvaran gözleriyle buluştuktan sonra derin bir nefes alıp, "Ben, Sienna De Luca; reddini kabul ediyorum Alfa Damon," dedi. Şoka giren ve utanç içinde kalan Sienna, ailesini daha fazla rezil etmeden sürüden ayrılmak zorunda kaldı ve çantasındaki hamilelik testine son bir kez baktı. Hayatın çok zor olacağını biliyordu, ancak Alfa onu dokuz ay sonra bulduğunda işler bambaşka bir hal alacaktır...

Natalia was born to obey, raised as a bargaining chip to secure peace between packs. It was the way girls were raised in her family. And within powerful families, being an only child, her father was sure to make her know her place since her fate was sealed when he had arranged her marriage to the brutal Alpha of the Crimson Howl pack. But Natalia refuses to be anyone's pawn. She refused to obey, and most importantly, she refused to be controlled. On the day of her wedding, dressed in white and suffocating in expectations, she runs. By the edge of a forgotten river, she finds a stranger. A man with cold eyes and a darker soul, Alpha Nolan. He mocks her at first, calls her dramatic, tells her she’d drown ugly if she jumps. But beneath his sharp tongue lies a haunted alpha with no love, no mercy, and no reason to care… until now.

“I, Alpha Damon Lockwood, reject you, Sienna De Luca as my mate and Luna.” He said, looking her in the eye as she stood in front of the entire pack, waiting for him to acknowledge her as her mate. She froze for a moment, not knowing what to say before she took a deep breath. Her eyes meeting her mother’s who shook her head, who was telling her not to do this. However, she knew not to stop. “I, Sienna De Luca accept your rejection alpha Damon…” ******************************** Shocked and embarrassed, Sienna finds herself being forced to leave the pack before anyone stopped her from doing so, before she embarrasses her family more than she already believes she has. She took one glance at the test, which was inside her purse, before she took a deep breath and just walked out. Knowing that things were going to be different. Knowing that things were going to be hard. However, when the alpha finds her nine months later, things decide to take a different turn…

«Yo, Alfa Damon Lockwood, te rechazo a ti, Sienna De Luca, como mi compañera y Luna», declaró él fijando sus ojos en los de ella mientras permanecía de pie frente a toda la manada esperando su reconocimiento. Sienna se congeló por un instante y, tras sostener la mirada de su madre que le suplicaba en silencio que no lo hiciera, respiró hondo y sentenció: «Yo, Sienna De Luca, acepto tu rechazo, Alfa Damon». Conmocionada y avergonzada, se vio obligada a huir de la manada antes de causar más deshonra a su familia, no sin antes echar un último vistazo a la prueba de embarazo oculta en su bolso. Sabía que las cosas serían difíciles a partir de ese momento, pero cuando el Alfa la encuentra nueve meses después, la historia da un giro completamente inesperado.

»Ich, Alpha Damon Lockwood, weise dich, Sienna De Luca, als meine Gefährtin und Luna zurück«, erklärte er und sah ihr direkt in die Augen, während sie vor dem gesamten Rudel auf seine Anerkennung wartete. Sienna erstarrte für einen Moment, doch obwohl ihre Mutter ihr mit einem Kopfschütteln stumm flehte, es nicht zu tun, holte sie tief Luft und antwortete: »Ich, Sienna De Luca, nehme deine Zurückweisung an, Alpha Damon.« Schockiert und beschämt verließ sie das Rudel, um ihrer Familie weitere Schande zu ersparen, während sie einen letzten Blick auf den Schwangerschaftstest in ihrer Handtasche warf. Sie wusste, dass schwere Zeiten auf sie zukommen würden, doch als der Alpha sie neun Monate später aufspürt, nehmen die Dinge eine ganz andere Wendung.

"Aku, Alpha Damon Lockwood, menolakmu, Sienna De Luca sebagai pasangan dan Luna-ku," ucapnya menatap langsung ke mata Sienna yang berdiri di hadapan seluruh kelompok menanti pengakuannya. Sienna membeku sejenak, lalu setelah melihat ibunya menggelengkan kepala memintanya berhenti, ia menarik napas dalam-dalam dan menjawab: "Aku, Sienna De Luca menerima penolakanmu, Alpha Damon." Dalam rasa syok dan malu, Sienna terpaksa pergi meninggalkan kelompok sebelum mempermalukan keluarganya lebih jauh, sembari menatap sekilas tes kehamilan di dalam tasnya. Ia tahu hidupnya akan menjadi sangat berat, namun ketika sang Alpha menemukannya sembilan bulan kemudian, takdir mengambil alih dengan cara yang tak pernah diduga.

“I’m not signing these divorce papers, Liam,” she said, her voice trembling. “I’m not asking, Alaria. I’m telling you.” With cold finality, Alpha Liam Blackthorne cast aside his wife for another woman—his mistress, Claire. But when Alaria’s trembling hand fell to her stomach, she chose silence over truth. One signature, and everything changed. Divorced, broken, and cast out of the pack, Alaria disappears, taking with her the secret that could shatter his empire. “I’ll raise you alone, little wolf,” she whispers to her unborn child. “And I’ll make sure you never become like him.” But fate has other plans. Years later, when rogue wolves threaten her and her child, the only one with the power to save them is the very man who betrayed her, Alpha Liam. Will the truth about their child bring them back together, or drive them further apart?

"Eu, Alfa Damon Lockwood, rejeito você, Sienna De Luca, como minha companheira e Luna", declarou ele, encarando-a nos olhos enquanto ela esperava ser reconhecida diante de toda a alcateia. Sienna congelou por um instante e, ao cruzar o olhar com o de sua mãe que implorava em silêncio para que ela não fizesse aquilo, tomou ar e respondeu: "Eu, Sienna De Luca, aceito a sua rejeição, Alfa Damon". Em choque e envergonhada, ela se viu forçada a deixar a alcateia antes de desonrar ainda mais sua família, lançando apenas um olhar para o teste de gravidez escondido em sua bolsa. Ela sabia que a vida seria dura dali para a frente, mas quando o Alfa a reencontra nove meses depois, o destino toma um rumo totalmente inesperado.

“She has to be at an age range that was close to mine, smart, beautiful, and a virgin” he said looking at his mother whose eyes widened. “Alpha, how are we to find out if she was a virgin or not…?” “I don’t care, if I am to marry a human who isn’t my mate, then she is to be one who has never been touched by a man” the Alpha said getting up from the couch. “What are we to do, mum?” His sister asked. “We’ll find him what he asked for…” And that is exactly what they did… ************** When Alpha Blake had put out his condition on his mother and sister, he never thought that they would be able to find the woman he asked for in such a short period of time. However, when they showed him her picture, he was forced to comply. “Her name is Natalia Adams, and she is everything you asked for”

„Eu, Alfa Damon Lockwood, te resping pe tine, Sienna De Luca, ca pereche și Luna a mea”, a spus el privind-o direct în ochi în timp ce ea aștepta recunoașterea în fața întregului manșon. Sienna a împietrit pentru o clipă, iar după ce a întâlnit privirea mamei sale care îi făcea semn să se oprească, a tras aer în piept și a rostit: „Eu, Sienna De Luca, îți accept respingerea, Alfa Damon”. Șocată și umilită, s-a văzut nevoită să părăsească manșonul înainte de a-și dezonora și mai mult familia, aruncând o ultimă privire spre testul de sarcină ascuns în poșetă. Știa că o așteaptă vremuri grele, însă când Alfa o găsește nouă luni mai târziu, lucrurile iau o întorsătură complet neașteptată.

« Moi, Alpha Damon Lockwood, je te rejette, Sienna De Luca, comme mon âme sœur et ma Luna », a-t-il déclaré en la fixant negli yeux alors qu'elle attendait sa reconnaissance devant toute la meute. Sienna s'est figée un instant, puis en croisant le regard suppliant de sa mère, elle a pris una grande inspiration et a répondu : « Moi, Sienna De Luca, j'accepte ton rejet, Alpha Damon. » Sous le choc et mortifiée, elle s'est vue contrainte de quitter la meute pour ne pas faire honte a sa famille, jetant un dernier coup d'œil au test de grossesse caché dans son sac a main. Elle savait que les temps à venir seraient durs, mais lorsque l'Alpha la retrouve neuf mois plus tard, la situation prend un tournant totalement inattendu.

“I, Eleanor Bernardi, reject you, Alpha Killian Ivanov, as my mate and Alpha.” She said, glaring at the Alpha who shook his head at the woman, seeming unaffected by her words. He walked toward her, his eyes fixed on her, as if a predator chasing his prey. “Over my dead, f*ck*ng, body.” He said, connecting his lips with hers. “You’re mine, Eleanor, and I suggest that you keep that in mind.” ************************************** Running away from her pack was not easy. But when Eleanor Bernardi finds herself mated to none other than her previous pack’s enemy, the Alpha of Alphas, Pakhan of Mafias, Alpha Killian Ivanov, she is stuck in conflict between whether or not she could trust him. And with his dominant figure, he finds himself not wanting to let her go. At least, not under her own terms…

«Io, Alfa Damon Lockwood, rifiuto te, Sienna De Luca, come mia compagna e Luna», disse lui guardandola negli occhi mentre lei attendeva il suo riconoscimento davanti all'intero branco. Sienna si bloccò per un istante, poi incontrammo lo sguardo di sua madre che le chiedeva in silenzio di fermarsi, ma fece un profondo sospiro e pronunciò: «Io, Sienna De Luca, accetto il tuo rifiuto, Alfa Damon». Scioccata ed umiliata, si vide costretta a lasciar il branco prima di imbarazzare ulteriormente la sua famiglia, dando un'ultima occhiata al test di gravidanza nascosto nella borsa. Sapeva che le cose sarebbero state difficili, ma quando l'Alfa la ritrova nove mesi dopo, la situazione prende una piega del tutto inaspettata.

„Ja, Alpha Damon Lockwood, odrzucam ciebie, Sienna De Luca, jako moją partnerkę i Lunę” — powiedział, patrząc jej prosto w oczy, gdy stała przed całym stadem, czekając na jego uznanie. Sienna zastygła na moment, lecz mimo błagalnego wzroku matki kręcącej głową, wzięła głęboki oddech i odpowiedziała: „Ja, Sienna De Luca, przyjmuję twoje odrzucenie, Alpha Damon”. Szokowana i zawstydzona uciekła ze stada, zanim sprowadzi na rodzinę jeszcze większy wstyd, rzucając ostatnie spojrzenie na test ciążowy ukryty w torebce. Wiedziała, że czeka ją trudny los, lecz gdy po dziewięciu miesiącach Alpha odnajduje ją ponownie, wydarzenia przybierają całkowicie nieoczekiwany obrót.
