Embracing His Rejection
"I, Matthew Sainthood, rejected you, Emerald Green, as my fated mate," he said without remorse. His eyes were cold and brutal. There was no hint of regret or any other emotion in it.
I bit my bottom lips, suppressing myself from crying. My heart was breaking into million pieces. Being rejected by your fated mate is the worst torture any she-wolves could have. But what choice do I have when he didn't even give me option but to agreed.
I gathered the last bit of strength left in me and meet his lethal stare. "I accepted your rejection." My wolf whimpered in pain and before he could see my tears fell, I turned my back on him—for good.

Chapter: Chapter 18Emerald I've lost count of the days I've been kept in this hellhole. I've lost count of how many times the devil has touched me. I've lost count of how many times I've prayed to the Moon Goddess to have mercy on me. But everything feels as dark as ever. Maybe I'll never see the light again. Maybe I'll be stuck here forever. "I heard they're trying to trace us now," a whisper echoed from the distance. My wolf has been silent, refusing to cooperate for days—just when I needed her the most. But thanks to her heightened senses, I can still hear, though not at full strength. "I wonder if they can find us, with the enchantment cast over this place. Unless Mazz reveals our location," another voice responded. Enchantment? So that’s why no one has come for me. Even if Matthew is looking, he won’t find me. But did he tried to look out for me?A fresh wave of despair settled in my chest. I really am alone.I glanced at myself, and there was nothing left to feel but disgust. I was dirt

Chapter: Chapter 17EmeraldHopelessness once reigned in my heart after realizing I was wrong. It wasn't his growl at all. It was just a warning horn from outside the cave. I am not saved. Not at all. "We received a message," a man said as he entered the cave. For a moment, I felt a hint of relief. At least the sudden news interrupted what Mazz was about to do. It felt like someone out there favored my situation... or so I thought. Mazz turned to me, his eyes burning with rage. The anger he held for me seemed to multiply, reaching its peak. What was the message all about? Without a word, Mazz stormed toward me. Before I could react, a sharp sting spread across my cheek as his hand connected with my face. My head snapped to the side, and I tasted blood on my lips. "I want him to feel what it's like... to have someone else touch his mate," Mazz spat, his voice filled with hatred. My heart dropped. Mate. How does he know? I swallowed the lump in my throat as the realization sank in. Does

Chapter: Chapter 16EmeraldI tried to keep my eyes open, staying alert despite my situation. For goodness' sake, someone kidnapped me. I mean, I don't consider this kidnapping — more like I am being held hostage. Their intention isn't clear, but maybe it is to challenge our pack leaders. "Did you convey the message?" the one with a scar on his face asked the other man. They're rogues, and they actually look like one. When they took me out of the pack, I felt as if I was already riding on death. I couldn't fight anymore, and my wolf is a little bit weaker compared to these people. Fighting is just like expediting my death. "No response from the Alpha," the man replied. The scar-faced man glanced at me. There was this anger in his eyes that I couldn't quite place. He looked angry at me for a reason I could not understand. I don't know these people. They're total strangers, and I don't owe any debt to them. Suddenly, the scar-faced man began to walk toward me. My breathing hitched as he grab

Chapter: Chapter 15Matthew I've always been strong and clear-minded, but Nicholas' heads-up from earlier made my entire system tremble. The provincial part of the pack had always been peaceful. For it to be attacked by rogues means something bigger is at play—there's a larger fight ahead. And to remember Emerald being assigned there adds an entirely different weight to the situation. "Why is it so silent?" Frederick, one of my most trusted men, asked, breaking the tension in the air. When we reached the area, it was dark, eerily silent, and the only thing that greeted me was the scent of blood. My heartbeat quickened. This is not a good sign. Am I too late? I rushed to check the borders, and the sight before me made my stomach churn. Fallen werewolf soldiers were scattered across the ground—most lifeless, some barely holding on. My breath hitched. Where is Emerald? "Spread out!" I commanded, my voice sharp, masking the panic threatening to surface. "Search for survivors—and find Emerald!"

Chapter: Chapter 14Emerald I used to hide and let rumors take control. I thought the best way to deal with them was through silence. I don’t know if I was foolish to let Matthew publicly announce the truth—that he rejected me. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, a burst of emotion I couldn’t contain. I could have just told him to say we weren’t together, that I wasn’t his mistress. It wasn’t until after a call with my friends that I realized how poor that decision had been. "Isn't it more embarrassing to have everyone know you were rejected?" That was Mathilda’s message after our call last night. It dawned on me a little too late. The fact that I had Zane as my fake mate hadn’t even registered. People might have viewed things differently if I had simply let the rumors die on their own. When my duty at the homestead ended and I was reassigned back to the city, I thought I’d left it all behind. But as soon as I returned, a new rumor had taken root—that I had only used Zane to heal a broken heart caus

Chapter: Chapter 13Emerald I stood there, surrounded by the other nurses whispering to one another. Their curious glances and stifled giggles were unbearable, but I tried my best to remain composed. “No, I’m not a mistress,” I firmly repeated, glaring at them. Their faces betrayed a mix of discomfort and guilt, but none of them spoke up. It was obvious they believed the gossip, or at the very least, found it entertaining. "I wonder who spread the gossip. I'd like to talk to them," I added. I felt a surge of anger rising. How could people gossip so easily without knowing the truth? It wasn’t just about me anymore—it was about clearing my name and protecting my dignity. Back in the States, spreading rumors had consequences, but here, it seemed people thrived on them. As I stewed in frustration, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I turned to find Matthew, of all people, standing there. “Matthew?” I said, my voice tight with surprise. He hadn’t been at the homestead in months, and now he shows up

Chapter: Epilogue Nicholas I was peering out the window, clutching the cigarette I had just lighted, waiting for an update. I sent Kairo to spy on Crescentius, but the fool was caught, so I despatched Milan to spy. I was in the midst of my thought when the door to my office opened, and the wounded Kairo appeared. Angry, I delivered a powerful punch to his face, causing him to fly against the wall. He groaned in pain before falling to his knees. "You careless fool!" I growled. Kairo coughed up blood before struggling to rise. He was tortured so much because of the number of wounds on his body. Well, Luke does not easily let go of rogues. They kill them after torturing them. So how did Kairo get away? I puffed on my cigarettes, thinking about something. "How did you escape?" "Trek's youngest daughter released me," he admitted. I throw my cigarettes away while hearing Kairo's pathetic report. He was saved by a woman and not just any ordinary she-wolf, for she is the enemy's daughter. Look at how fa

Chapter: 81.Aria's POVNatasha's rage puts the baby she's carrying in danger. Fortunately, Doctor Green intervened quickly to prevent a possible miscarriage. So, instead of coming in the hospital for a check-up, Natasha ended up being confined. Her pregnancy wasn't quite healthy; a little stress would have stripped the pups she was carrying away."Let her take this medicine on a daily basis; it will help the baby grow healthy inside her," Doctor Green stated as she handed us a pill.She spoke softly, moved smoothly, and was very professional. Earlier, when Natasha attempted to scratch her face and cause havoc in the hospital, she calmly dodged her attack and injected her with a calming antidote.Rejecting her was probably Matthew's biggest regret. She is the epitome of grace and elegance. Not to mention how respectable her profession is. If I were in her shoes, I would never assist the woman my mate prefers over me. Nonetheless, she put her personal life aside and remain professional. She handl

Chapter: 80.Aria's POVLast night's conversation with Nicholas took us nowhere. He became irritated, so instead of staying outside for a few hours, we returned home earlier than planned. But, to be fair, despite his irritation, he didn't left me there. He's truly improved; perhaps he learned his lesson from the past."Luna Aria, there's a letter for you," Elora said as she handed me an envelope.I accepted it while combing my hair. The texture and fragrance of the envelope felt familiar. Only Crescentius sent letters on ivory paper, and the logo on the front of the envelope proved my claim. When I opened it, there was a small piece of paper stick inside. "M.S." I read the writing at the bottom.After reading the letter's contents, my breath caught in my throat and I had to stop combing my hair. I went back and read what had been said to make sure it wasn't just a delusion, but it wasn't. It was real. Mysha send me a letter. She wished for us to speak.My heart swelled with excitement.

Chapter: 79.Aria's POVWe returned home as dusk approached. I knew Nicholas had made us stay in the village for a half-day so I could spend time with my new found family. That man frequently works behind my back, not to hurt me, but to make me happy."I wish I'd get to reconcile with, Mysha," I blurted out as we approached the gate.The previous conflict had been resolved. Nicholas and I are also steadily establishing our relationship, and my human family has accepted me. Only my relationship with Mysha remains unresolved. "You'll reconcile sooner, love. Let time heal the wounds of the past or....how about you reach out for her?" he advised as he parked the car.My goal had always been to mend our shattered connection. I want to reach out to her, but every time our previous encounter comes to mind, fear stops me. She wanted me dead. So I'm worried that if I go to Crescentius, I won't make it out alive. Aside from my issue with Mysha, Alpha Luke had also disgusted me. I knew he was rational, but

Chapter: 78.Aria's POVI was drifting off into space, recalling what had just transpired. Things had quickly gotten out of hand. I'm not sure how to respond to all of the thoughts racing through my mind. It's commendable that the Elder acted fast and dispatched someone to address the disagreement. They also clarified what transpired in the past and cleared up any confusion. And Mysha was mistaken; our parents duped her into believing their lies, which she did.Our parents' previous attack on Rojo La Luna was laced with jealousy and threat. The reason they claimed Nicholas's parents were hiding in the rogue, even though they weren't."Are you okay?" Nicholas asked, sliding his hand on my stomach, hugging me from behind.I sighed before nodding. The trace of blood from Mysha earlier haunts me with worries. She is pregnant, yet she is willing to jeopardize her health for the sake of vengeance. Mysha is a fool for making that decision. She endangers not just her people, but also herself and the baby

Chapter: 77.Aria's POVAngered by the discourse she had with Nicholas, Mysha launched an attack. Our defense line was the first to meet Mysha's army of wolves, followed by the attacker, and they did the same. I looked at the sister I once admired, and I can't seem to find the familiarity in her anymore. She's totally different."Is there no other way to end this war?" I asked Nicholas.I don't want us to get to the point where blood is spilt and there is nothing left in the land because of my and Nicholas' parents, who are the basis of all of this. They're gone, therefore this meaningless fight must come to an end. We'll never know who uttered the truth on both sides because they're all dead. They are no longer present to testify about what occurred in the past. So, why are you still hanging on to that sad phase of life? We should all go on and forget about it. We will never progress if we remain rooted in the past. "If the Elders find out about this, both packs will suffer greatly," Natasha sa

Chapter: Chapter 8Alice Two days had passed since Karina’s disappearance, and there was still no news. I felt as if everything was moving at a snail’s pace, but deep down, I knew I had to trust my father—he knew better than I.“Princess, the King would like to see you,” a maidservant called out, interrupting my thoughts.I took a deep breath, pushing aside my worries about Karina as I made my way to the throne room. I hadn’t realized how distracted I had been; today was my father’s birthday, a day I should have been celebrating instead of dwelling on the missing pieces of my life. As I entered, the grand room was adorned with decorations—streamers and banners of gold and blue hung from the walls, and the scent of freshly baked pastries filled the air.“Ah, Alice,” my father said warmly, looking up from a pile of documents. “I’m glad you’re here. We have much to prepare for today’s celebration.”“Father, I—” I started, but he raised a hand to silence me gently.“I understand your concern for Karina,” h

Chapter: Chapter 7Alice After an hour of preparation for my father’s approaching birthday, I decided to head down to the underground battleground. I needed to vent my stress through practice, hoping to let go of all my anxieties and disappointments. My father seemed unconcerned about the stolen jewel now, which perplexed me. Just days ago, he was the one most worried about the lost diamond, and now that we had discovered where it was, he appeared indifferent. “Argh!” I yelled with each stroke of my blade. The metal figure swung back and forth, north to south, in response to my strikes. The piercing sound of grinding metal reverberated throughout the vast space. I paused, taking a deep breath. After an hour of practice, I could feel the weariness in my knees as they wobbled. I decided to sit on the ground, using my sword as a prop. My face was drenched with sweat, and my exhaustion was evident. “Alice!” “I’ve been looking for you...” I turned my gaze to the wooden elevator as Harriet emerg

Chapter: Chapter 6Alice Even though it was 9 a.m., the sun refused to shine. Thunder and lightning raged on the ground, and thick clouds obscured the heavens. Rain fell in torrents, making a buzzing sound on the ground. The weather seemed to mirror the kingdom's misfortunes and reflect my own turbulent emotions. Confused thoughts raced through my mind as I paced back and forth in my room. The fire in my heart grew stronger with each passing minute; I felt an urge to sneak out of the castle and venture into the enemy's den to find the diamond. However, my mind was torn as I weighed the possible outcomes. If I left, my father would undoubtedly worry, and it could ignite a sudden war, which I desperately wanted to avoid. This was turning out to be one of the most complex decisions I had ever faced in my life. I finally sat down and scratched my head in frustration. The King's birthday was approaching, yet retrieving the gem felt increasingly difficult. Not only could the coronation be delayed because

Chapter: Chapter 5Alice I wore a princess-style gown as I attended Karina's father's trial, where we aimed to prove his innocence. Last night, we managed to find the Magical Bug, and fortunately, it recognized our presence, resulting in the blinding light we witnessed. Currently, the underground royal room was packed with people, and the living mirror was securely locked away. The Windston Royal family, along with the most trusted royal knights, gathered here. As the royalties engaged in casual conversation on the left side of the room, I couldn't help but notice Prince Casper's restlessness in the right corner. Karina was bombarding him with questions, and he appeared agitated. The Royal Knights began arranging the four mirrors to form intersections, one each for the south, north, east, and west. They placed a round table within the mirrors and set the magical bug on top. The room filled with a blinding light as the magical bug reflected in the mirrors. Prince Casper erupted in anger, spitting acc

Chapter: Chapter 4Alice As my cousins and I ventured deeper into the Enchanted Forest of Doria, the conversation from the day before still lingered in my mind. Karina's desperate plea weighed on me, and I wished I could have helped her more. But the truth was, I couldn't. The wand, Elizabeth's wand, could only be used by her descendants, and I wasn't one of them. "Alice, as much as I may appear thick-faced... can you assist me in detecting who the culprit is? You have the greatest authority among the three of us. Can't you use Elizabeth's wand?" Karina's anguished plea had tugged at my heartstrings. "Of course, I'll help, Karina, but as you know, I'm not a sorcerer. I'm unable to utilize the wand," I explained, the frustration evident in my voice. Elizabeth had been the kingdom's most powerful sorceress, and her wand was a symbol of her unmatched magic. Even though she had passed away many years ago, her descendants were yet to be found. "Wait! Do you remember the Mirror of Truth in the Longsati c

Chapter: Chapter 3Alice As my cousins and I made our way to the royal kitchen, something strange caught our attention within the palace. It was impossible to ignore – every royal guard and even the palace knights had paraded into the royal hall. The same hall that was reserved for important meetings and deliberations, especially during times of war. We exchanged puzzled glances, our curiosity piqued and decided to follow the crowd into the hall. Upon entering the venue, I was taken aback by what I saw. A long table dominated the center of the room, already nearly complete with attendees. Even the entire royal family was present, which was unusual for an unscheduled conference. I took my seat, choosing one close to my mother, the reigning Queen. My confusion was evident in my expression, and I couldn't help but convey it to her with a questioning look. She, in turn, simply urged me to be patient and wait for the meetings to proceed in their proper order. Restlessly, I scanned the room, my eyes comin
