The Rejected Mate's Defiant Return To Power

About this story

Synopsis

I was the Fated Mate of Lycus Stone, chosen by the Moon Goddess herself. But he performed the sacrilegious ritual of Rejection, severing our sacred bond to run away with his widowed sister-in-law. He abandoned me and our newborn son in the freezing wilderness, claiming she was his true mate to secure a high-ranking position in a powerful pack. For a decade, while he enjoyed his prestige, I was trapped in a living hell. My in-laws treated me worse than a stray dog, beating me daily and forcing me to eat moldy scraps. Even my own daughter despised my low status, stealing my food to buy pretty dresses and laughing as I starved. "You're just a useless Omega. You deserve to suffer!" In the end, my frail body was ripped apart by wild beasts in the snow. I died listening to the agonizing sound of my own tearing flesh, completely abandoned. Until my last breath, I felt nothing but a suffocating despair. Why did my mate defy the Goddess to choose his brother's widow? Why did my family treat me like garbage while praising his monstrous betrayal? Opening my eyes again, the blinding pain was gone. I was back in that miserable cabin, exactly ten years ago. This time, I grabbed the heavy iron poker by the fireplace. The weak Elara is dead, and I am going to destroy them all.
