Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna

"You seem distant and...," the Alpha began, offering a condescending smile. "Hurt, perhaps, like someone who's weathered many battles." "It's true," Alpha Maverick replied, his gaze intense. "And with each battle, I grow more determined to seek retribution against those rogue scum who wronged me." "And what exactly do you seek?" she queried, a gentle smile playing on her lips. "Vengeance. The eradication of every rogue responsible for my suffering," he declared, his eyes fixing on her, causing her to flinch slightly. "You're not one of them, are you?" He gazed into her captivating eyes, his fingers brushing against her cheek, her smile turning awkward. Indeed, she was a rogue, a wanted one, feared and pursued by the entire werewolf community. She had chosen this path after being rejected as an omega, forsaking her wolf nature and defying society's expectations. "I, Valencia Brooklyn, reject Tyler Anderson as my destined mate," she remembered the declaration that forever altered her course. "I'd rather face death than be bound to an unfaithful partner." In a world that couldn't accept her for her unique status, she embraced roguehood, hunting other rogues, committing theft, betraying the council, and living secretly among humans, violating every rule and norm. What unfolds when a council member anonymously assigns her case to the world's most formidable alpha, one stronger than the Alpha King's son? How will she evade an alpha hell-bent on exterminating all rogues, seeking retribution for their actions? Maverick Aurelius, renowned for his prowess, would have surely killed her upon their initial encounter – if only he could have recognized her in her transformed form as a mere cat. Valencia's curse left her unable to shift into her wolf. How will he uncover the elusive rogue now hiding within his own home, a cat with a peculiar habit of invading his sanctuary and playing with his belongings? --- This is my second submission for WSA 2024.
