Rejected Luna, Chose Single Daddy as My Mate

Exposing

Amelia's POV

I walk onto the stage. I have a glass of champagne in my hand. Lucas smiles at me as he thinks I am going to toast him. I smile back, but my heart is not in my eyes. I know I can die again tonight, but I do not think he and Leona will try to do anything to me with all the packs gathered here. I believe someone will stand up for me after I expose them for who they are.

I raised my champagne glass to Lucas, and he acknowledged it by raising his whiskey glass to me, blowing me a kiss. If only he knew what was coming. He would not blow me kisses. He would get me off this stage as fast as possible.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to my husband's birthday party. I have made a video to celebrate his birthday today," I say. I have a warm smile on my face, but my eyes are cold. "I want to invite my faithful and loyal husband, as well as the daughter of the Blue Mountain Pack's Alpha, and my best friend, Leona, on stage. As you all know, Lucas and I have been mates for over two years. Leona and I have been friends for much longer than that. Please give them a hand as they join me on stage."

Lucas and Leona step onto the stage, their silhouettes framed by the harsh glare of the lights. Leona looks at me with suspicion in her eyes. I know she is still confused about why the guy was not in my bed. Still unaware that he’s choking out his last breaths in a forgotten well. Her jealousy had festered into something lethal. My husband, my life. She wanted them all. But this time, I was no longer the woman who’d kneel and beg.

My hand drifts to my stomach, where new life flutters like a second heartbeat. Never again. This child would draw breath. This child would live. And I would paint the world red before I let anyone near her.

My hands go to my stomach protectively, but I don't say a word about being pregnant. It is not something that I want Lucas or Leona to know about.

As they walk up the stairs, I nod at the unsuspecting omega to start playing the video I made.

The video begins with photos of the two kissing and a video of them in bed. I hear people gasping for breath, and I see Lucas and Leona stopping in their tracks and staring at the video. I cannot help but smile.

What a way to call your mate out for being unfaithful!

They did not expect it. They thought that they could walk over me like always. Unfortunately for them, I have lived that life before, and I do not want to live it again.

"Oh, please do not blame them. Unfortunately, I only found out now that he only married me for pact loyalty and that his fated mate is Leona. As you all know, my grandfather's pack is mighty. Lucas needed mighty allies, so he married me, and my father is the Gamma. Some of you witnessed the drama in my room this morning. That's what Leona has for me." Lucas and Leona's shocked expressions excited me, and I continued, "Leona, you tried to set me up to get my husband, but I will save you the trouble. I, Amelia Brown, formerly known as Amelia Connery, reject you, Lucas Brown, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, as my mate and Alpha. I will take back my surname and form hereafter, I will be known as Amelia Connery."

A stunned silence falls over the room. Leona's carefully constructed mask of innocence shatters, her face flushing crimson, while Lucas stands frozen, his expression caught between guilt and panic. Lucas's mother looks like she is going to faint, and his father looks furious. I do not know if they are angry with me or with their son. To be honest, I don't care. They raised him to be a brat who wanted his bread buttered on both sides.

My father has a frown on his face, and I know it's not because he's angry with Lucas, but because he's furious with me for putting his position in danger. In my last life, my parents did not even come to help me when I needed them, so I don't care what happens to them now. I do not believe that Lucas will harm my parents because he knows my father is the hero of the pack and has killed many rogues. He dares not touch them. He knows they will denounce me as their daughter after what I have done.

Leona had woven herself into my life with calculated precision, playing the devoted friend while whispering promises of alliance with the Blue Mountain Pack. She once betrayed me and killed me, but fate had granted me a second chance to see through her deceit.

The Blue Mountain Pack's fading strength made them worthless to an ambitious wolf like Lucas. My grandparents' pack, however, commanded respect. The very reason Lucas had chosen me as his bride, while Leona remained nothing more than his dirty secret.

I now realise that everyone pressured him into taking me as his mate because I was the right choice for the back, not for him.

Liana and Lucas are speechless. They do not know what to say, and they are unsure of how to redeem themselves in front of all the people.

"Come on up. Why don't the two of you come and celebrate your love and your birthday? I will be leaving now. I am no longer the Luna of this pack." I look at them and smile, then turn to the guests and continue, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you your Alpha and his new Luna. I hope you all enjoy the rest of the night. I all had to witness the drama that was happening in this pack. However, I had to ensure that I was safe beforehand. I could announce everything that was happening. I wish you all the happiness in the world. I never want to see either of you again. I am breaking all ties with the Silver Moon Pack. It was an honour serving all of you, but now it's time for me to move on. I will not say goodbye. I will say farewell, as I will never set foot in this Pack again. Many of you knew what was going on behind my back, and none of you dared to come and tell me. Good luck with your new Luna, and I hope you all happiness and prosperity."

With measured steps, I descend from the stage, my back straight and my gaze fixed ahead. Lucas's hand shoots out to seize me, but I pivot smoothly away, putting several paces between us before he can react.

"Amelia! You treacherous b***h!" His roar shatters the stunned silence of the hall. The veins in his neck bulge with fury as he jabs a finger toward me. "Guards! Seize her! Throw her in jail!"
