Rejected Luna Became Alpha King's Mate

Betrayal cuts the deepest when it comes from the one you love. From the one whom you thought would take care of your heart but ended up cutting it piece by piece until it ran out of blood.

It was excruciating to the point that dying would be a better option.

"You are good in bed Selene, unlike your sister, Thalina. She's so boring."

Tears fell on Thalina's eyes hearing those words from her husband's mouth. She wanted to break the door open and dig her claws into their neck until they bled to death but her feet were glued to the floor and all she could do was stand in front of their bedroom door listening to her sister's moan while being pleasured by her husband...her mate.

It was not just her heart that was aching at that moment but every part of her body. It felt like her flesh was being torn off from her bones. That was the consequences if your mate became unfaithful. If he started claiming another she-wolf the other has to suffer. The other would feel excruciating pain until she became weak and she was left with no choice but to cut the bond between them. But despite all the pain that her mate inflicted, rejection will never be an option for Thalina.

She prefers to suffer and accept the pain than lose Magnus, the man she loved her entire life.

Thalina covered her mouth when sobs escaped from her lips. She suppressed her cries not letting anyone hear her agony and pain.

She stood in front of the room like a fool lost on what to do.

It was the most agonizing ten minutes of her life. When the door finally opened, she saw what had happened inside their bedroom, where she had slept with Magnus for the past three years.

"T-Thalina, what are you doing here?!" Magnus asks her. His eyes widen from shock, but there is no hint of regret.

He didn't regret what he did. It was a mistake that he had been making for quite some time now but Thalina missed him...until now...until Thalina's birthday which was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life but was ruined by her husband's cheating.

"It's my birthday today, Magnus. I was never expecting a surprise but you still gave me one,"

Tears streamed down her face while looking at her husband.

"I thought you would celebrate it with your friends,"

A bitter smile graced Thalina's lips when she remembered how her friends had ditched her birthday celebration. Everything was already planned. She made a reservation at a fancy restaurant in town. She stayed there for hours waiting for them but the soup was already cold and the steak was already hard but none of them came. None even bothered to call her that they weren't coming. She sat at the restaurant like a fool waiting for someone to arrive and greet her happy birthday but all she received was a text message saying sorry that they couldn't attend because they had forgotten.

She thought she would get comfort once she got home. She was expecting a warm hug from her husband and a gentle whisper that she shouldn't be sad because they would celebrate it together.

She wasn't expecting something grandiose. A small cupcake and a lit candle would be fine, but a small effort wasn't made. Instead, she was given a surprise that she never and would never ask for.

"Did your friends ditch you Thalina? You think someone will make an effort to celebrate your birthday?" Selene interjected walking towards them with a blanket wrapped around her naked body.

A mocking smile was plastered on her lips while looking at her poor sister. She wasn't even regretful of what she did.

Tears streamed down Thalina's cheeks once again but it was no longer filled with pain but rage for what Selene and Magnus did to her.

"How dare you do this to me, Selene?! I have never been but good to you! You are my sister and I love you but how could you do this to me? How dare you fuck my husband in the bed where I used to sleep? How dare you moan the name of the man I loved my entire life?!"

She was about to attack her sister. Eager to scratch her face with her claws something that she never thought she would ever think of doing. She was never violent until their betrayal, but before she could even get near Selene, Magnus held her tightly.

"Don't you dare hurt her, Thalina,"

Her body started to weaken again when those words filled her ears. She looked at her husband in disbelief. Mascara ran down her cheeks making her look like a complete mess but she didn't care. She looks at her husband straight in the eyes looking so weak and miserable.

"I am your wife, Magnus, why do you care for her and not even think twice about hurting me? I am your mate but why did you claim my sister in our bed? You knew so well that claiming another she-wolf would hurt me and make my wolf weak but why did you still do it? Why did you cheat on me? Why did you betray me, Magnus?"

She started hitting his chest but her hands were too weak even to hurt him. Her slap was just a light tap on his skin and did not even inflict pain on her husband.

Magnus held her hand and his piercing cold eyes bore into her.

"I need a son that will lead the pack someday, Thalina. We have been trying for years but you still can't pregnant. You are useless. I don't need a useless Luna like you,"

As if his words weren't enough he also possessively wrapped his arms around Selene's waist.

Without remorse, he looked at Thalina straight in the eye and uttered the word that shattered his wife's heart into a million pieces.

"Selene will be the new Luna of my pack, Thalina,"
