Rejected Under the Moon, Claimed by the Enemy

You were never meant to be mine. But you'll always be his the enemy who will destroy everything we know." Sera Silverpine has waited five years for this moment. Tonight, under the full moon, her Alpha Dominic Silverpine finally accept their fated mate bond in front of the entire pack. She's loved him since she was seventeen, believed in their destiny, prepared herself to be his Luna. Instead, he rejects her in the most brutal way possible. Not privately, with dignity. But at the ceremony, in front of hundreds of witnesses, as cameras capture her humiliation for the entire shifter world to see. He chooses another woman Lydia Kane, a sophisticated wolf from the prestigious Eastern packs as his Luna. The reason? Sera is "too weak," "too ordinary," "not Luna material." Sera's heart doesn't just break. The mate bond shatters, sending her to her knees in agony while the pack watches. Some look away in pity. Others smirk in satisfaction. Her own family stands silent, ashamed of her public failure. Broken and bleeding from the severed bond, Sera runs into the forest straight into the territory of the Shadowfang pack, the Silverpine's most deadly enemies. They've been at war for generations. The Shadowfang Alpha, Kael Nightshade, has been hunting Silverpine wolves for years, and crossing into his land is a death sentence. She expects him to kill her. Instead, he does something far more dangerous. He claims her as his mate. Kael Nightshade is everything Dominic isn’t fierce, dangerous, and utterly obsessed with Sera from the moment he scents her broken bond. He's the Alpha who killed his own father to take power, who's made the Shadowfang pack the most feared in the region, who's been orchestrating attacks on Silverpine territory for three years. And he's been waiting for Sera. Because Kael knows what Dominic never saw: Sera isn't ordinary. She's the last descendant of the original Moon Blessed bloodline, wolves born with the power to shift under any moon, to heal, to command. Her power has been suppressed her entire life by her own pack because if the truth came out, she would be too valuable, too dangerous. Kael offers her a deal: stay with him for three months. Let him awaken her true power. Help him destroy the Silverpine pack and take Dominic's throne. In return, he'll give her everything she's been denied strength, respect, revenge. And the one thing she swore she'd never want again: a mate who actually wants her back. But Kael's obsession runs deeper than revenge. The mate pull between them is impossible she’s still bond-broken from Dominic, and Kael isn't her fated mate. Yet every time he touches her, her wolf howls in recognition. Every time he looks at her with possession blazing in his dark eyes, she feels more alive than she ever did with Dominic. As Sera's power awakens, so does the truth: the war between Silverpine and Shadowfang was never random. Her bloodline holds the key to ancient magic that both packs want to control. Dominic didn't reject her because she was weak he rejected her because someone told him to, someone who wants her power for themselves. Now caught between two Alphas one who threw her away and wants her back, one who claimed her as a weapon but is falling dangerously in love Sera must decide who she really is. The rejected mate who'll do anything for revenge? The secret weapon in a war she never asked to fight? Or the woman who'll rewrite every rule and claim her own destiny?

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.
