Alpha Aidan's Rejection
“How long have we been mates?” Aidan barked.
“Four weeks,” I cried, tears rolling down my face and neck.
“And how many times were we intimate, Tara?”
My lungs tightened in my chest as I whispered. “Once.”
“And we were being safe, so why do you think this lie would stick?”
Venom dripped from his next words. “Get out of my life because the next time you show up, I will kill you.”
*****
It wasn’t exactly a one-night stand, but the possibility of a pregnancy was almost non-existent even though he was my mate.
When I mustered the courage to break the news to Aidan Graham, the father, he denied me. He severed our bond and plotted my death, and my only option was to run.
Nine years later, my daughter walks into my office with a man, and the scent I recognize all too well fills my lungs. She says. “Mommy! I found you this handsome man!”
The match my baby girl just made for me…is to my ex Alpha mate.
I have been broken in the past, so how do I make this work for my daughter? Can I still try even when Aidan ropes us into a web of secrets, deceit, and brings me to a past I wished to bury forever?
The plot twists are bound to make you ask… “Wait…What. The. Heck??” So, read on!!

Chapter: 87: Friend Turned FoeTARAWe took a ride back home, and I could say that I’d never been as hurt, confused, and afraid all at the same time before as I was now. In the thousands of seconds that it took for us to make it back, I fought the urge to cry thousands of times, but I couldn’t. Not in front of Nadia. I couldn’t bear the thought of scaring her like that, but I also couldn’t stop thinking about it.‘Dad’s not home. He’s out with Mom. Kayla Graham.’Aidan was a father. To someone other than Nadia.And Aidan was a husband. To someone else who wasn’t me.Could there have been a misunderstanding somewhere?None of it made any sense, but I still remembered the odd sense of familiarity I felt when the teenager showed up, telling me somewhere deep inside me that this held some real bitter truth. The betrayal hurt like a thousand cuts from a jagged saw to the same spot.I almost hissed in pain, but I swallowed the feeling like a pill, waiting until we got back.The thought of going back to the penthouse wher

Chapter: 86: Dad?TARAI’d be honest upfront. I couldn’t care less about the basket that me and Nadia spent over half an hour filling it with whatever fruits we could find at the market. All I cared about was the way my heart was doing unfamiliar things like gymnastic moves in my chest in anticipation of seeing Aidan.A little more than for me though, I was happy that Nadia did not turn into a shadow of her usual self after we broke the news of her parentage to her. She still missed spending time with Aidan and was just as excited about seeing him as me.“We have oranges, peaches, a watermelon, bananas, and even more fruit, Nadia. I doubt Aidan is going to be able to finish these all by himself, so I think we should stop here, okay?”She seemed to be enjoying the local shopping spree a little too much, but she bobbed her head in response either way.After paying and bagging our stuff, I transferred them to the basket we came along with, and pulled out the possible location list that Aidan dropped off w

Chapter: 85: Going To See AidanTARAThe next days were better than I could have predicted in years to come, and that meant better in the sense of things with Aidan, and even better with my mother. We frequented my old home as often as we could, spent hours upon hours in my mother’s company, and sometimes, even visited twice on the same day for days in a row.My mom was so happy, confessing to it by herself that she hadn’t been happier in years. When she randomly mentioned one afternoon that she was grateful to have seen these days, and would now peacefully go to meet the Moon Goddess, I rebuked her, telling her that I saw her spending many more years with us after this.I truly did.Nadia wasn’t left out in the merriments. Her grandmother showered her with so much love that she was the one who dragged me sometimes to go see her.And then there was my father. Just as I had suspected on the first day when we came, he was only entertaining us because of Mom. Her seeing us must have brought about a time that had been c

Chapter: 84: Apologies TARAI kept on ignoring the voice in my head that had been echoing on repeat, making me question if I had made a rash decision without properly thinking about it. Nadia’s eyes were swollen with tears, her face, still wet and puffy from sobbing after we broke the news to her. She had let me into the room now, but I still gave her a few minutes for her occasional shudders to calm down before I started speaking.“Can I talk to you now?” I asked, watching her sunken frame on the bed and wondering when my baby became this smart. I couldn’t say “shocked” was an appropriate word to describe how I felt when she uttered those words.Nadia nodded, so I steadied myself with a deep breath before I spoke.“Aidan, your daddy, and I, first met each other a very long time ago, and as of then, we weren’t very wise to make the best decisions. Aidan hurt me by pushing me away, but I realized that he only pushed me away because he was scared for us and trying to protect you from a bad man who would have

Chapter: 83: Better Now Than Later TARA“You know how Aidan has been here for a very long time making sure that we’re okay, we’re happy, and we have everything we need?” Nadia’s eyes brightened as she stared between me and Aidan, nodding. “Good. And how a dad always does these things because that’s what they’re supposed to do?”Nadia’s smile faltered, mirroring her confusion now. I quickly went on. “It happens that Aidan is your dad, just like you’ve always wished. He always has been, and he’s here for you now.” My forehead had gone clammy with the tension of the moment, and I felt my heartbeat thrashing in my ears. “How do you feel about that, baby?” I asked when Nadia hadn’t said a word for too long.“He…Aidan is my daddy?” Nadia’s voice was unrecognizable. Small, and unsure.Aidan answered this time, cautiously. “Yes, Nadia, I’m your daddy.”I’d thought about how this was going to play out in my head, and thought about the many scenarios in all directions that this could take. Only one truly stuck, hence my surprise

Chapter: 82: Rip The Band-Aid TARAMy mom had insisted we spend the night with them after already staying over four hours there, which honestly felt like minutes with how much laughter and crying we did, but I politely refused, mostly because Dad’s attitude didn’t yield the whole night.Mom offered to clean my old room and set it up for me and Nadia, claiming that they had barely touched anything since after that night, and even if Nadia was excited about the idea, I didn’t want to be back in the space just yet.I promised that we would show up again tomorrow to take off where we left, even going as far as making plans to spend the day in the kitchen, all three of us—me, Mom, and Nadia— before Mom finally agreed to let us leave.My gratefulness to the goddess knew no bounds. It hadn’t even been a complete day, and my heart was already lighter as everything was beginning to fall into place.And more than anything else, I found myself wanting to share the good news first with Aidan, and I was surprised that it didn’

Chapter: Chapter 4: Betrayed, Yet ProtectiveSireen’s POVI want to kill her, or at least come close so no one ever challenges the fact that I deserve to be with Trevor, not even him. Especially not him. If he was on my side in all this none of this would have happened, I just need to convince him that we were worth fighting for.“I acc-”“Don’t do it! ” Camilla screams from somewhere in the crowd. She weaves through gawking students before finally reaching the center of the circle. “I know that you are hurt and you feel like you have something to prove but please Sireen, don’t do it.” Tears gather in her eyes as she watches me.I turn from the crowd to face Camilla, lowering my voice so she can hear me. “I have to. He would accept me if he knows I deserve it.”Camilla vigorously shakes her head. “He won’t. I know you care about him too much to see this but he won’t, and if Kristy manages to kill you I won’t be able to live with myself.”“I. Won’t. Die.” I bite the words out. “Have some faith in me, Cami.”“That’s not the point…

Chapter: Chapter 3: Her StrengthSireen’s POVI wake up back in my room, but I feel pain EVERYWHERE. Especially my chest.Memories of Trevor’s rejection flood, and I whimper at my loss. I sit up, or at least attempt to, when Camilla stops me.“You should rest more, Sireen. Today was a lot.”I grip hard onto my shirt just over where my heart is and start lightly beating against it before increasing how hard I hit myself each time. Camilla tries to stop me but I keep hitting myself.“It fucking h-h-hurts, Cami...” I rasp out in stutters before I start crying again.“I know, Sireen. And I’m so sorry, I am at such a loss for words right now,“ she says, wrapping her arms around me.I hold tightly onto Camilla, and I don’t even attempt to stop my tears. Streams of it fall down my face and onto her shirt. A lump gathers in my throat, and I try to get myself to stop, but I can’t.Finally, I released Camilla.“I’ll be fine.” I wipe my face. I don’t believe it but maybe if I say it often enough I might believe it. “I will be f

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Weight She BoreSireen’s POVI do the next most sensible thing.I run away from Trevor, the kiss, and everything that just happened. I knew that being in my halfling state, I would be weird, maybe even disgusting to look at, but I thought Trevor understood me. I thought that we could put certain things behind us since the moon goddess wants us to be together. I remember the look on his face when he saw me shift, and I break into silent tears.I run, but Camilla finds me. In all my best hiding spaces, she still finds me in the middle of overgrown weeds at the back of school, sitting with my legs curled up.She gently settles in beside me. Her fingers patting me as I cry.“I don’t know how Trevor would do that,” I say under my breath. “He is my mate Camilla.”If Camilla is shocked, she doesn’t show it. “What exactly happened?““We kissed, and he said he wanted to see my wolf, so I shifted.”“Oh, Sireen! You know what it’s like when you shift. I don’t think you should have just let him talk you into shi

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Mutt Who SurvivedSireen’s POVI walk stealthily towards my first class, trying to stick to the shadows as best as I can, and all I can think of is how much I regret sleeping in today. If I had been in school earlier, I could have managed to avoid what I call my epic walk of shame on the first day of my second year.As I take small cautious steps, I keep my head down and try to think of happy times. No such luck. Everyone's whispers keep playing on repeat in my head. I can’t even call these whispers if they’re audible enough that I don’t need my wolf’s enhanced hearing to pick up the words.“The moon goddess should have taken you in his place.”“I can't believe you'd do something that wicked to your own brother.”“It's all your fault.”I bite down the sting of the words, as well as the memory of my brother’s life slipping through my fingers right in front of me that night. Walking towards my lecture hall reminds me of how much I miss Kyle, and of how much I'd rather be anywhere but here. Maybe I shoul
