Pursuing My Rejected Luna Review: The Secret Heir

Our Pursuing My Rejected Luna review covers the first four chapters of Pursuing My Rejected Luna by Cara Anderson, published on GoodNovel. It is trending on repost sites under other names right now; please read it on the official platform.

The first line tells you exactly what kind of book this is: Skye never imagined she would have to choose between her husband and her unborn child. By the end of chapter 1, she has.

The setup

Skye has been Luna for three years, mated and married to Alpha Jaxon, the Alpha heir she had a crush on long before her eighteenth birthday revealed he was her fated mate. The bond never felt complete. The pack doctor hinted it might be why they had no children, and Jaxon pulled further away.

Then a morning check-up changes everything. Skye is pregnant. She puts on the blue dress Jaxon once said he liked and goes to tell him before an important meeting with the elders.

She finds him holding her sister Cassandra, his ex, who left the pack four years ago. Cassandra has been back for a month. Jaxon didn't think it was "relevant" to mention. And before Skye can process that, a four-year-old boy runs in and calls Jaxon "Daddy".

The heir problem

Chapter 2 is a masterclass in how to make a reader furious. The boy, Liam, is Jaxon's son from before he and Skye were mated. Cassandra says she came back because Liam was sick. Jaxon says Skye will "remain as Luna", as if that is generous, and calls the boy his firstborn and heir.

That word, heir, is what stops Skye from saying anything about the baby. She asks for a divorce instead, in front of the elders, and walks out.

What works

• The pacing. Pregnancy news, the sister, the son and a divorce request, all in two chapters, and none of it feels rushed.
• Noah. The pack's Beta, Skye's childhood best friend, finds her at the cliff where she has hidden since she was fourteen. He is the first person to tell her she is the best Luna the pack has had in generations, and the book clearly knows what it is doing with him.
• The ending of chapter 4. Skye comes home to boxes in the hall and a child's toy on her reading couch. Cassandra is moving in.

What to know before you start

Jaxon is cold in these chapters and uses an Alpha command on Skye, which some readers will find hard to forgive. The title promises a long chase, so expect him to earn his way back slowly. The book stays fairly gentle in tone compared with other titles on this list.

Who it's for

Readers of werewolf second-chance romance, secret-pregnancy stories, and anyone who likes a heroine who decides she is worth more than a title.

Our first impression: a strong, emotional opening and a love triangle with real potential. The big question is how long Skye can keep her secret.
