I am the Alpha king, the strongest werewolf in existence. I took the last purebred Silver Wolf as my mate. But the child she bore wasn't a Silver Wolf. Wasn't an Alpha either. It was an omega that couldn't even shift. Still, my Luna cradled it lovingly. Asking me if we should name our son Kane or Raven. I stayed silent for a long moment. "Rejection." My Luna froze. "What did you call him?" "I said," I raised my voice, "I'm rejecting you as my mate!" The room erupted. Elena was the Silver Wolf Princess, highest bloodline in existence. Outside the hall, Alphas and Elders from every pack filled the space. Elena's expression twisted. "Slade, if you don't like so many guests, I'll send them away. Don't joke like this, please." I stood, grabbing her arm to drag her outside. "I'm not joking." "We're going to the Moon Altar right now to break the bond." Humans get married with papers and divorce with signatures. Werewolves are more complicated. On mating day, names are carved into the Moon Stone, sealing the bond. To reject your mate, you need to erase the names on the Moon Stone. But it isn't just erasing two names. The one at fault gets punished by the Moon Goddess. Elena looked hurt. "Slade, you can reject me if you want, but tell me what I did wrong first." I said nothing, glancing at the pup in her arms. After years as mates, one look was enough for her to understand. Elena's eyes widened. "It's because of the pup? Just because I gave birth to an omega pup?" When she first got pregnant, I'd said every day our child would be a Silver Wolf or an Alpha. Not just me. Everyone thought so. My father was the strongest Alpha. My mother was the Moon Priestess. Both bloodlines were legendary. Elena's lineage needed no explanation—there wasn't a creature alive that could harm her except the Moon Goddess. Our child was famous before it was even born. But when she finally gave birth. It was just a weak omega. No shift ability, no inner wolf. Its tail was even half-formed. Seeing I didn't deny it, every guest stared in shock. They say Alpha king should love all pups, even others' children, treating them like their own. The first to call me out was my beta, Jax. "Alpha Slade, Luna Elena is about to cry. Apologize to her." "Don't forget Luna Elena went to the Northern Wastes to find the Fertility Herb, and she got attacked by rogues. She fought them off, but the wound on her shoulder still hasn't healed." "She nearly died giving birth. Almost lost her life. How can you break her heart like this?" Elena was a Silver Wolf, but she had trouble conceiving. We'd had a few pregnancies before. All miscarriages. To carry this pup to term, she went to find the Fertility Herb herself. I glanced at him coldly. "I didn't even know about her shoulder wound. How did you?" Jax's face went pale, stammering without an answer. "My Alpha, don't blame him." Elena stepped forward. "When I came back that day, I collapsed at the door from blood loss. Jax found me." She finished. A few more pack members stepped forward, saying they witnessed it too. Their words made me look jealous and petty. The other Elders didn't approve of my behavior either. "Alpha Slade, you're the king of all alphas. How can you still be this jealous?" "Everyone knows how much Luna Elena loves you. Back then, she endured silver burns for you. How can you doubt her like this? It's hurtful." "And about the pup. Just because you're an Alpha doesn't mean your child has to be one too, right? " "Enough." Elena looked displeased at them defending me. "Thank you all for your concern, but this is pack business. Please say no more." Her words. Made everyone resent me even more. When Elena turned back to me, her tone softened. "My Alpha, I know you wanted an Alpha heir. It's okay. We can have another." "You're upset the pup isn't strong. It's fine. If he's not, we'll make him one. With your power and mine, we can make it." The other Elders offered solutions too. Some promised rare herbs to boost power. Others recommended sacred training grounds. As if with one nod from me, this runt would transform into a legendary alpha tomorrow. Seeing I was unmoved by their suggestions. Elena grew more anxious. "My Alpha, just tell me what you want! I can give you anything!" I stared at her for a long moment. "You'll give me anything I want?" Elena nodded firmly. "I want my pup." Each word sharp. "Give me back my real pup."
A flicker of panic crossed Elena's perfect face. She pushed the pup forward. "My Alpha, this is our pup." I looked at the pup coldly. "This isn't my pup. This is someone else's." Elena looked shocked. "My Alpha, what do you mean? Did someone switch the pups during the birth?" Before I could respond, she called out urgently: "Someone! Bring me the midwife who delivered my pup. I need to question her about what she did." In less than 10 minutes, the midwife appeared. After hearing the situation, she dropped to her knees. "I'm innocent! This is the pup Luna Elena gave birth to! And I wasn't the only one there that day. Many pack members were present during the delivery." The midwife quickly named several witnesses. All were Elena's close friends who'd stayed in the room during labor, worried something might go wrong. Now, they stepped forward to confirm they'd seen this pup come from Elena's body with their own eyes. Everyone's gaze fell on me again. Their expressions seemed to say how could there be a father like me in this world? Just because the pup didn't meet my expectations, I wanted to abandon my mate and child. Some hot-tempered wolves openly cursed me for being ungrateful. I bit my lip. "Just because it came from her body means it's mine?" "Slade, are you accusing Elena of infidelity?" Even the High Elder couldn't stand it anymore. "If that's the case, we'll use the Blood Stone. Let's see whose pup this really is." The High Elder gave the order, and someone immediately retrieved the stone from the vault. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Elena cut the pup's paw and let blood drip onto the stone. Then she cut her own finger and added her blood. The two drops made the stone glow red. This proved a blood connection. After Elena's test, it was my turn. I did the same. After a moment, the Blood Stone glowed red. Seeing this, Elena breathed a sigh of relief. "My Alpha, now do you believe this is our pup?" I stared at the stone in disbelief. "No, that's impossible..." No werewolf can fail to sense whether a pup is their own. This weak pup had no trace of my scent. Why didn't anyone else notice? Even the Blood Stone confirmed it was my pup. Was I wrong? "How is it impossible?" Jax spoke up. "Everyone knows the Blood Stone never lies. Alpha, have you been too exhausted lately? Are you hallucinating? Let me take you back to rest. Stop slandering the Luna." His hand barely touched my arm. I shoved him away hard. "This isn't my pup! It's not! Stay away from me!" Elena helped Jax up, then yelled at me: "Slade, how long are you going to keep this up? We have witnesses, we have the Blood Stone—why won't you believe this is our pup? Have you lost your mind?" Not just her—everyone looked at me like I was insane. I wasn't insane. But panic was drowning me. To find the truth, I'd have to go there.
