He was the Alpha who deleted her. Now, she's the Queen who will break his world. Vespera Thorne was born to be a Luna—a perfect high-frequency node in the Great Link of Aurelia. But on the day of her bonding, Alpha Julian rejects her in front of the entire city, branding her a "glitch" and casting her into the Dead Zone to be erased. She was supposed to die in the static. Instead, she was claimed by the King of the Scrap. Malakai is a man of obsidian and cold code, a rejected King who has spent twenty years building an architecture of silence in the shadows. He doesn't want a mate; he wants a revolution. But when he finds Vespera, he discovers a signal more powerful than any Alpha: a Black-Gate file capable of unlinking the city. In a world of neon lies and chrome skin, Vespera must choose. Will she accept her second chance with the King who saved her, or will she become the virus that tears the Citadel down? Rejected Luna Claimed by the King is an intense, psychological, and atmospheric shifter romance. It features deep internal monologue, sensory-driven prose, and a slow-burn connection between two broken souls in a cyberpunk wasteland.
