Chapter 1

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.
