Chapter 1Prologue

I pushed open the door to the throne room.

Sebastian looked up from his throne with his eyebrow raised. A look of surprise on his usual emotionless face.

A moment of silence passed between the two of us.

I broke eye contact with him. Head down, I glanced at my new glossy shoes and the fancy ball gown I was wearing. Taking a deep breath, I walked towards him and sat on the smaller throne next to his. It was a throne made of pearl and marble. A throne for the Queen of Arerin.

"You can control water," he said in his usual cold and clipped tone.

"To a very limited extent."

"You should have plenty of time."

"I... I was dressing up."My voice became softer. Too shy, lack of confidence. The usual problem when I faced King Sebastian.

He was right, I could have been able to escape. Only he was trapped here. But I was sure even if he wasn't trapped, he would not leave his kingdom. He would stay here and looked at every bit of his kingdom fell into ruin like the King he was.

The fire was just around the corner when I entered the throne room. The air was getting hotter. Fumes sneaked passed the door.

"Leave, Liana."

My heart skipped a beat. It's the end of my life and I was happy he said my name? How pathetic I was. I tugged at the sleeves of my ball gown.

"There isn't enough time. And... I'm the Queen of Arerin. I'll stay here. With my King."

I looked up and met his ice-cold eyes.

"You control water."

"Only to a very limited extent."

The huge mahogany door erupted into flames. Fire danced outside the window.

"I can't escape now," I whispered. "That's the end."

I closed my eyes and tried to bear the intolerable heat and pain. At least I was one of the best dressed queens to be burnt alive.

A cold hand covered my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. I opened my eyes in surprise and stared into the calm eyes of Sebastian. Pain left me.

And everything turned into ashes.

Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas

Valerie, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Yellow Stone Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Luna wolf. Her mate, Tristan, was made the Alpha in her stead. After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate. She was caught in bed with a stranger, meaning that she would sell the pack out. The punishment for treachery is death,” Alpha Tristan announced heartlessly. The chants from the pack members and visiting Alphas who had come for the Alphas' conference attracted them to the judgment. No one thought that Alpha Denzel, whose name caused the hairs on their skin to stand straight due to his ruthlessness, would make it to the conference. Valerie found hope when she realized that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate, but painstakingly, she was rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was condemned to die by all the Alphas present. She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Denzel left and a warrior was ready to execute her. Everyone was shocked when Alpha Denzel suddenly turned around. “Stop! The treacherous daughter of a late Alpha should not be killed. More suffering awaits her,” he declared. Valerie’s heart dropped when she saw his dark look, which was like a bottomless pit, as she blacked out from exhaustion. A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

Omega's Rebirth

What was worse than death itself? Well it was dying knowing that no one would miss you, knowing that your death was a favour to everyone you ever knew. This was exactly how I felt the day I died. I was the love child of the Eclipse Alpha King, in a time where the mate bond was considered sacred, a child born out of wedlock was nothing short of sacrilegious... 'It was his fault, he loved someone other than his mate...' 'It was his fault, he had carnal knowledge of a human woman.' 'It was all his fault, my only crime was being born out of his lust.' But why was that Alpha King father of mine perfectly safe, while I was hated, scorned and blamed for everything instead? Why did I have to be my father's bargaining chip, used to achieve his goals? Why could I not get a rejection like everyone else but was instead murdered by my own mate? Why was I killed before I even had a chance to live? I had a thousand questions and yet there was no one to answer and this was exactly how I died... So why then did my eyes flutter open to that day, a month before my death? Was it because of my little secret? A secret I will tell no one else but you... From the title of my tale, you must think I am an omega wolf... No, you got it wrong... I am not an Omega wolf, I am an Alpha wolf and my name is Omega. ~Second Book in the Werewolf Rebirth Series. *Not a prequel or sequel to 'The Alpha King's Nemesis', both books are not related save for the world setting and Werewolf Rebirth concept. *Cover art sourced from the internet, all credits to the original artist.*

I started reading this book under a different name at a different site. I'm glad its been reedited and put up here. Sébastien was so devoted , I mean there's nothing like dying together to show who is really for you. Also can't wait for the second and third half. Ariana was such a capable women. I loved how strong she was. I wonder how the ending will be changed if at all for the second book? I hope that the third book is as good as the first and second ones. Love the re-edits.

Ok so I binge read this novel and I'm caught up...and wanting more ^^*. So the novel's world is big and each arc is loosely tied by the environment but I look forward to the characters showing up in each others' storylines. I like the plot so far and the fact that the pace is rather fast. As the novel develops, I'm sure some of my questions will get answered. I can wait in the meantime to see what's next. Thanks Author!

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this work. If you like bittersweet romance, this is for you ! The stories all have their own charm and the author has a brilliant way to express the MCs' emotions. The cliches/tropes/classics here are cleverly used. The only drawback I'd have to point out (and mind you, this is only my preference) is that the three MCs we follow are always dependant of the MLs. Let me explain : while I did love the three FLs, all of them were dependant on the strength/powers of the ML to survive/live. And don't get me wrong, I may have a weak spot for strong/OP FLs, but I also love some resilient, thoughtful but a bit passive type of FLs on the side. What I mean is that none of the FLs portrayed here were weak or terrible, they actually were very well fleshed out, but I would love to follow a strong/OP villainess who, for once, would be the one using her abilities to make the story advance, instead of having to depend on the ML's ones. BUT! This is a very minor drawback, and I'm a nitpicky B. so overall, a very good writing, loveable characters and good plotlines ! (On the other hand, if the author were to see this among the sea of reviews, I'd love for the next book to follow a mysterious or strong second FL who would be the one making the ML going crazy/asking himself questions <3) Anyways, keep up the good work !

The author is successful in depicting the emotions portrayed by the characters. Even the background world build up looks superb. I am looking forward for reading more. Keep up the good work author, I am rooting for you 👍

This is definitely an unique take on tired wrung out tropes that draws you in and refuses to let you go. Bittersweet and sad yet hopeful, I sometimes feel it's more of a redemption story for the ML that focuses on the 2nd FL. It's truly well written; the plots are engaging, the characters have wonderful depth as well as growth and the storylines are enthralling. Thank you author-dono, for this wonderful gem you are polishing for us so diligently.
