Rejection, the most beautiful woman, exquisitely carved out of stars and the most ethereal goddess to ever grace heaven, hell, and immortality of celestial beings was rejected.

Serene silver hair spilled on her shoulders, glowing, straight and thick waves falling to her waist, swaying with her each step were now stagnant. Her scarlet lips parted in shock with dark blue eyes showed nothing but fury and astonishment.

"Are you seriously rejecting me, for a lowlife who isn't even born yet?" her melodious voice that was nothing but a screech at this moment bounced off the magnanimous violet pillars adorned with black pearls and were heard by the male who was opposite to her.

Innumerable glass chandeliers embellished the darkroom with the radiance of the sun.

A throne was perched at the far end of the courtroom, on the elated ivory turf. Black roses laid on its path with their counterpart silver ones.

The man to reject the woman stood from the throne in all his mighty glory with his leather black cloak trailing behind him. Grey eyes lively like thousand moons shining together stared into her blue ones making her breathing shallow.

"Havent I made myself clear yet Selene?"

His chocolate hair with amber streaks appeared to be softer than any silk, chiseled features putting all gods....each god combined to shame- The ruler of the Underworld, the supreme power wielder-King Hades.

"No you have not! What is there in a mortal woman? What powers does she has that I- protector of werewolves dont possess?"

His crimson lips curled into distaste. "Watch the way you talk about her. "his deep, cocoa-rich voice filled with chilling anger distracted her but as soon as her mind registered his words her eyes filled with malice.

"Do you even know whom you have rejected? Do you know the consequences of going against me Hades?"

He did.

He had said no to the moon goddess- Selene.

The epitome of beauty, power, and guardian of Wolves, the maker of Mates.

She was the one who blessed wolves with bonds yet this one bond she did not bless, she wanted Hades for herself and never in her dream had thought that oneday a girl would snatch him away from her.

"I do, I know you better than anyone else Selene." she stared at him. Her lips curved into an evil smirk.

Despite hatred running deep in her veins if there was one person she actually respected...it had to be Hades. She hated him but loved him at the same time, complex emotions ruling her heart for him.

"Nobody can understand you like I can Hades, nobody can love you more than me. Reject the matebond, reject her. Come with me and I, in turn, shall give your rejected mate another werewolf male.the one she actually deserves."

The sky thundered, frost forming on the floor. Her eyes widened when the silver irises of King Hades flashed in wrath making her flinch. He came closerto her his jaw clenched hard.

"She will be my mate Selene, you like it or not.

I have waited so long for her,felt lonliness ripping apart my soul but now that my mate has taken birth.how impudent of you to think that my mate can be rejected by me.

Warriors! Escort the moon goddess out of the gates of the Underworld and make sure she never returns."

Two soldiers in armor and shields came forward stepping towards the infuriated female.

One hundred excruciating years...it had taken Selene one hundred years to gain her powers, to enter the underworld and it took him one breath to throw her out.

Her mind swirled with blinding rage, this icy terrain of Underworld never stayed at the same place in the cosmos, she had spent years of life finding it and once she did, they did not let her enternow when all obstacles were removed why must he reject her proposal?

What if she can't have him this time, she will have him soon and there will be a time when he will call her himself...he will be her king, and she the ultimate queen of Supreme Underworld.

If she can't stay here, he will and so will his terrain....forever.

"I, Selene the creator of Mates, the moon goddess herself curse you to be trapped in the underworld till a destined half rejects his mate, remember me, King Hades it will never happen.....you will not be able to search for her. YOU WILL NEVER MEET HER!

She will never be able to find you and you will not be able to go out of your realm to find her."

The werewolf history....no wolves have ever rejected their soulmates, their other halves. It had never happened and it was more likely it will never happen in the future also.

Selene never made mates haphazardly, she made sure to couple the two souls which were similar thus it was only her that can make the rejection happen.

Those lethal words dripping with poison rang as the goddess disappeared into the air. Hell demons hissed when Hades felt the curse taking its effect.

"She will find me Selene." his eyes closed with the floor rumbling with his wrath. "And then.....I will find you."

Black Moon Pack

Persephone's POV

Droplets of water fell from the oblivion. My soul was on fire, my peace taken, world turned upside down.

Every year the mating ceremony ignited hopes in werewolves across the globe. Like every other girl I had dreams of finding my beloved soulmate and then I found him.

'Mate' the Black moon Alpha growled as he approached my stoic form- Alpha Adrian. He pushed me into his strong hold, tingles erupted on my skin as my body went tense.....it felt wrong.....it had felt wrong when I found out that he was my mate but the mate bond never deceived it didn't lie.

He was known to be vicious and cruel, killing rogues even if they were innocent and inflicting unspeakable torments. A monster I had received in place of a mate and my body screamed everytime he touched me.... repulsive....his touch was vile, it made me feel like a worthless prostitute.

My heart had screamed for me to move away from him, the way his eyes glazed over my body lustfully made my stomach hurl its contents.

I was a member of his pack from past ten years and I couldn't even count the number of deaths due to his maliciousness. I knew what that man was made up of and such creatures were not meant to be loved.

His lips curled into distaste when he took in my dirty clothes, being an orphan in his pack was same as committing an crime, I was the daughter of previous Alpha of Black Moon Pack but I was casted out by the pack members. Even if my life was tough the pack never tried to torment me knowing that an Alphas blood can overpower them anytime yet for others it was not having enough food and being pushed around like dirt.

"Go get yourself cleaned sweetheart." he stroked my cheek softly but I couldn't help feeling go away, as I looked into his affectionate smile, I wanted to give this a chance, I didn't have a choice.

I didn't know but why the thought of giving Adrian a chance made my heart hurt.

'You are mine Persephone'. A fleeting voice in the wind seemed to sing to me those words.

Every fiber in the universe hears, every star in the Galaxy responds and each deed has a repercussion.

When a soul sufferer the whole Creation cries, the sorrows never to be gone unnoticed.

Never curse a fair, never make their heart weep-the ultimate rule of Life.

Each breath of the sufferer had an effect and the tormentor has to pay.

Moon goddess Selene had broken the rule but time always ruled and the person to hold its reins was captured in his own world....it won't be long when his chains will be destroyedso will the goddess' destiny.

A child was born with eyes of ocean. Sweet nectar seemed to flow as her cry rang first time. Dark blue eyes with an aquamarine tint seem to glimmer with joy.

Her mother clasped her mouth crying the tears of joy as her father held her small wrist wondering what had he done so good in life to be blessed with such an angel.

Her brown hair in small wavy curls seem to be flowing with wind, soft breeze caressing her with utmost affection.

The oblivion which was roaring with thunder seem to bow down to her, calming the catastrophic rain.

The one to command powers of life and death was born as a werewolf...a mortal herself which was an irony.

Goddess Selene watched the child from skies as the new soul was welcomed among her wolves, that little girl was a Luna...a powerful aura that seemed vague right now would bend the world one day.

Goddess S-Selene u-underworld has gone calm, it's g-glowing... radiating like heaven. a messenger informed with his eyes blown wide, he couldn't believe what he saw.

Radiating like heaven?....the cold place was the representation of King Hades, his emotions changed the weather....it can't be happening.

The goddess again looked at the girl in disbelief, she sure was a Luna, realization hit her as tons of bricks.....not any Luna, she was King Hades' Queen.

The moon goddess eyes widened as she saw the formation of a strong golden fiber of love and a bond being woven in air- the strongest to ever been formed. It shined brightly like glimmering pearls beaded together.

So she did what was best for her, the sharp moon dagger aimed above from her dainty fingers ripped the fiber before it could intertwine completely.

She twirled her fingers, selecting the most corrupted of thread- red which represented the wolves fated to be mateless and attached it with one ripped piece- the girl's soul.

She gave the newborn a devastating future filled with pain and anguish but could she. A tinge of pain erupted in a corner of her heart....can Selene see the girl suffering? She didn't knew herself.

But if only she knew.....

A horrific scream resonated from her mouth as ink darkness started covering her hands, the same hands which broke the rule of nature. Her creamy fingers developed claws- a corrupted soul.

Her eyes snapped to the dark blue mirror adorned with turquoise sapphire in her adobe, it reflected her once luminescence face, now marred with a shade of pitch coal. Another scream left her lips.

Never will be the moon shine bright and complete white everyday, now it's beauty would be engulfed by darkness in its soul. Each day a slash of black will corrupt a part of it's round face.

There wasn't a day when the full moon failed to shine in all it's glory...but it won't be full now, nature was changing its course and Selene would pay the price of going against it.

May the little girl never pay the price though...for her new mate was made to devastate her.

Black moon pack

Persephone's POV

The pack house was filled with murmurs, the people who ignored me all my life were eyeing me with jealousy- to be mated to an Alpha was an extreme honor, it did not matter if that same alpha may breed me like a whore but even to carry his pups was an extreme honor. It was not the life that I wished for.

The orphan and omega children whom I used to live with a few hours ago were huddled in corner eyeing my food full plate hungrily for after the death of my father and mother-the previous luna and alpha of the black moon I was reduced to the lowest stature yet even if they take away my soul they would never be able to touch the protective instinct that I possessed for my people.

They haven't been given food for past two days and today they would be served enough to survive the next two.

Tears glistened in my eyes as I took in their malnourished form, it was not like the other members never took pity on them but whenever they did, the remembrance of the punishment shuddered them to core, they would be made an omega too just like me.

Persephone, please give us one too Lily with her big brown eyes filled with hope asked for the grapes which seem to overflow out of my plate.

He was a monster- my mate to keep the children starved. I plucked a branch the wolves surrounding me watching my action with dread.

An icy voice froze the room What do you think you are doing my dear? The touch that traced my neck going from my back and then grasping my hair as if to establish his dominance made me realise he had seen my actions.

********************************

The vein in his neck twitched while his hands convulsed violently as if stopping himself from wrapping around the little omega's neck standing before his mate....that little female that had an aphrodisiacal aroma, he could not wait to fill up her body with his seed, so much so that she would be nothing but his doll ready to take him in whenever he wished it.

No matter how many people were there, she must be his perfect sex slave.

The demeanor of the pack house changed with his presence. A little girl was pushed by his slave behind her.

Alpha Adrian stalked towards Persephone, fire in her sapphire eyes still flaring like embers.

He hated the courage she possessed,the power she asserted....a born Luna who didn't required an Alpha to rule. Adrian had tried to repress her in all ways possible after the death of her parents but she was like a weed and no matter what she did not left her pride.

His blue orbs took in the way she stood. with grace and honor, her body untouched, immersed in innocence ....still being untamed, wild with her intoxicating scent provoking him. He wanted to taint her in ways that she must never rise or think.

A woman whose only job was to always stay pregnant and at home.

A forced smile made a way to his lips...soon he will breed her with his pups and when he would be done, he would show the pathetic mutt her place....only if it wasn't for her delicious body.

He needed a woman to keep under his shoe, the one who would quench his insatiable sexual thirst but the only problem was his wolf Mason.

Mason cared for her, he wanted to meet her wolf....her wolf which he couldn't sense but how was that possible when she sure was a werewolf?

"Alpha, they are starving..." his body went rigid hearing that euphonious sound....if only he could crush those worthless creatures and show the woman her place....his bed and beneath him.

"Jason, give the omegas as much food as they want." he replied not removing his eyes from her, only they wouldn't be wanting it from tomorrow.

The head cook came forward with his frame trembling as the Black moon Alpha ordered everyone to sit.

All of them watched their Alpha and future Luna in awe..... Alpha was really changing. While Persephone watched him with unbelieving eyes as he took a seat beside her, something was dubious or was this man really trying?

Absence of light is darkness...absence of conscience is evil....don't trust a monster. Don't sell your soul.

If only she knew.....

Even an hour wasn't passed and the screams and cries echoed throughout the arena.

"THROW THAT PATHETIC OMEGA IN DUNGEON!" the Alpha ordered the cell guard in a voice that made them all tremble.

"Whip them all till their skin breaks and make sure that little mutt gets special treatment." Adrian roared, his voice getting dangerously low at the end glaring at Lily.

He sat down to watch as their torment.

Lily whimpered, tears freely flowing down her face, her big brown eyes pleading as other children completely froze, their face becoming pale with fear,huddled in the corner with their eyes blown wide.

"PERSEPHONE!" A scream of pure agony tore through Lily's heart as the man came closer to her.

'My Queen... Luna....your people need you.... Persephone.'

Persephone rose from her sleep drenched in sweat, her hair a tangled mess, a sheer silk cloth adoring her physique with her heart beating wild..who was that?

That strangely euphonious voice calling out to her as if waking her up from the sleep.

Apprehension clouded her vision as soon as she saw lights blooming in the dungeon from her small glass window. No stars were visible in the sky as storm clouds engulfed the atmosphere making her breathing became labored.

Fear, anguish, torment, fury and above all protectiveness washed over her but those weren't her emotions....it were her mate's- her true mate's.....whom she didn't know.

She rushed outside the pack house barefoot, running towards the dungeon like a maniac.

"Luna you can't enter." the guard tried stopping her but froze as soon as he looked into her eyes- an unquestionable command, he moved aside seeing her distraught state, it was not her original azure irises but her eyes have changed their colour to glorious silver.

___________________________________________

Persephone's POV

A loud wailing resonated- a child... Lily?

Fire engulfed my insides watching the scene in front of me, the heinous crime which was being committed shook me to the core.

Revenge.... Death... I was going to kill him.

Ferocity in my eyes made the monster who was going to whip Lily halt in his movements. Such cruelty bestowed upon a child, they were sinners, and they were going to pay for their deeds.

Torturing instruments adorned the wall, a silver flexible sword blade attracted my attention, picking it up I glided my finger across the sharp edge.

I stalked towards him...circling my prey. The slashing sound of blade echoed like a thunderbolt striking. A loud cry resonated as his eyes rolled in his head- dead.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Adrian's hand clasped my shoulder in a bruising grip as his harsh glare fell on the child hiding behind me.

Snatching Lily his fingers gripped her hair with force to which she screamed.

'Red.... Blood.....

My Luna.... My Queen....no one can harm you.' that voice again whispered in my ears as if telling me to fight, as if that person would not let anyone touch me.'

A powerful aura filled with unconstrained nefarious power summoned the surroundings.

Alpha Adrian's laid limp at his sides, three huge claw marks slit his chest with deep scarlett blood gushing out as his wolf Mason was forced down heavily by his head whimpering.

Nobody is going to harm them, their Queen was protecting them.

But unknown to the Queen her true king was protecting her.
