Thank you for reading.
Zane. My aim was to mark her, not reject her. I had it all planned. Knowing that day was her last day here, I wanted to try everything I could to keep her. Marking her seemed like a good idea at that time. So I made love to her and prepared to sink my teeth into her soft skin. But when I had the opportunity to, I stopped myself. She had made her choice to be with Alpha Sebastian. If I marked her and forced her to stay. She wouldn’t be happy. It would hurt more to see her sad because I used the mate bond to trap her. This was why I ended up rejecting her. I wanted to set her free. So that she can concentrate on her chosen mate without the mate bond messing with her feelings. I just didn't expect that it would destroy me completely. She accepted my rejection and my heart shattered to pieces. I felt like my heart had been ripped out and rubbed against a grater. As if someone was shredding my heart into fine pieces. It hurt like hell and the pain I felt is not something I would
Hailey. “I'm so proud of you,” Mom says as she fixes my hair just like old times. My mother is the Eastern pack’s Beta female and she's my father's chosen mate. Perhaps that's why my father came up with that contract to reject my mate. He thinks we can all find love with our chosen mates. He's not wrong but what's wrong is imposing his beliefs on me. If I'm to take a chosen mate, shouldn't I decide who it should be? We are having dinner with my soon-to-be mate before the mating ceremony tomorrow. I'm becoming Alpha Sebastian’s Luna and I'm the least excited. “Mom, what if I don't want to be a Luna?” I suddenly ask and Mom gasps as if I have just said the biggest taboo. “Don’t let anyone hear you say that. It's always been known that you will be the pack’s Luna. And the Alpha loves you very much. You should be grateful.” My eyebrows crease. What the fuck? Is he doing me a favour by loving me? “But what if I don't love him?” I question. Mom’s eyes widen. "All this time you
Hailey. The dreaded day has finally come. I keep staring at my phone, hoping for a miracle even though I know Zane wouldn’t call me. He’s never contacted me since I left the Central pack. But I know he knows the mating ceremony is today. An invitation was sent to The Alpha King, Rex Cooper and his mate, Alpha Queen Gianna Walter. Since Zane is his Beta, he definitely knows I’m getting mated to someone else today. I won't lie. It hurts that he hasn't bothered to reach out to me. Does he hate me so much that he wants nothing to do with me? Has he already moved on? Or found someone else? My stomach twists and turns at the thought. I regret accepting Zane's rejection. What was I thinking? Now I'm stuck. What good is a position of power if I won't be happy? Perhaps I should just run away and become a rogue. Sebastian promised to let me study medicine in the human town after we are mated and I’ve given him an heir. He sure is considerate but he’s still not the one for me. I just
Zane. I was almost late. Something had happened in the past few days. A certain pack was attacked by rogues so we had to offer help. This was why I didn't immediately chase after Hailey when I found out about her mating ceremony. I didn’t expect the war to take several days. By the time I was returning home, it was already the date for Hailey’s mating ceremony. I was afraid that I was too late and I had lost her. What if she had already moved on and fallen in love with Alpha Sebastian? My heart was in my throat but luckily, the Alpha King and His Queen were on their way to attend so I hopped into the car with them. I told them my plan of stopping the mating ceremony and they were in full support of my decision. We were indeed a bit late and the ceremony had already commenced when we crossed the Eastern pack's territory. My blood boils as I glare at Alpha Sebastian who is glaring back at me. He was about to sink his teeth into my mate! If I was a minute too late, she would
Hailey. I can proudly say I’m spoilt rotten by my mate. We’ve been at the penthouse for a week now. And during this time, Zane kept pampering me. He showered me with lots of love and care, making me so happy that my jaws hurt from too much smiling. He would take me out for dinner or lunch. And then we would go site seeing or watch a movie. He would get me whatever little things I want. Back at the penthouse, he would cook and do the dishes. He would step into the shower with me and help me wash. He practically worshipped the ground I walked on and I’ve never felt more special. Who knew I would get myself a man who looks at me the way one would look at a delicious cake? He makes me feel wanted… desired… craved. In his arms, I feel like a woman. I can't imagine I almost made myself a miserable woman by getting mated to the wrong guy. Happiness is free as long as you find the right guy. It is possible to be the most loved woman in the world. Zane has shown me that. The way
Rose. The worst thing that can happen to a shifter is falling in love with someone who is not their mate. The fear that them meeting their destined is just a full moon away… the fear that the bond will be stronger than their feelings for you. This has always led to many heartbreaks and that’s why it’s a nightmare for someone who falls in love before meeting their mate. Werewolves in particular have been blessed with mates by the moon goddess. Once an adult werewolf finds their mate, they become one with that person. This bond is so strong that many have failed to defy it... thus, it is not advised to date before meeting one's mate to avoid unnecessary pain. This is my current situation. It’s different for others who fall in love and then later discover they are mates. I had met Reece during several full moons, and the mate bond didn’t click in. So I know for sure that he doesn’t belong to me and it sucks because I’ve fallen for him, hard. The pain that is usually feared is in
Rose. My eyes flash as intense anger rips through me. How could Reece let another woman touch him like that? Is there something going on between them? “Excuse you, Rose. Which man are you talking about? Don’t tell me it's Reece. He hasn’t met his mate yet,” Amber taunts, folding her arms across her chest and I feel like closing the gap between us to rip her throat out. Her voice irks me. Her whole presence gets on my nerves and yet, I’ve only been in the same space as her for a few hours. A low growl leaves my lips and I’m about to reply when I suddenly come back to my senses. I meet Reece’s eyes and his confused expression makes my stomach knot. What the hell am I doing? What right do I have to act like a jealous mate? With a pounding heart, I turn and dash out of there like it’s the plague, feeling mortified. Oh no… I just made a fool out of myself. What was I thinking? The wind blows through my eyes and it stings. Why didn’t I notice how windy it was until now? I’m runnin
Reece. Why are we women so complicated? One short-haired feisty girl to be exact. She’s been on my mind ever since she had my dick down her throat. I’ve been thinking about her… secretly wanting her. I did ask her to be mine but I was rejected mercilessly. Even though she broke my heart, I haven't stopped loving her. She consumes my thoughts every day and all I want is to make her mine. But she won't give me a chance. Heck, she won't even let me go close to her. She's been on guard ever since I asked her to be my girlfriend. Avoiding me as though I am a disease. To be honest, I did notice that Amber was flirting with me. I was about to push her away when I saw Rose glowering at us. To think she was jealous made my heart soar so I let Amber be to make Rose jealous. But it seems I had shot myself in the foot. My feisty kitten was so angry that she pushed me away and now wants nothing to do with me. When I heard there would be an outing tonight, I was ecstatic. Any opportuni
Rose. “I met my mate too last night,” I say as we walk into our room. The high-ranked werewolves have bigger rooms in the packhouse. Reece, being a Gamma, has a big room. There’s a large bed in the centre, a small living area on the right side, a small kitchen and a bathroom area. It's like a mini apartment. We just came back from our mating ceremony. The Alpha officiated the ceremony. After deciding to get mated right away, a small ceremony was quickly arranged for us by the Alpha Queen. I was ok with not having a ceremony but the Queen insisted saying it was important. And she was right. It felt good to say our vows and mark each other in front of everyone. I proudly held my man and sank my teeth into his neck, showing the whole pack that he belongs to me. No one will ever question my relationship with him because the whole pack witnessed us getting bonded. We are now mates for life... one heart, one soul and one mind. Reece stops when he hears my words and looks down at m
Rose. A stab of pain shoots through my chest and I take a step back. My heart squeezes painfully, feeling like it's been ruthlessly ripped out and run along a grater, shredding it to pieces. It turns out my happiness only lasted a few hours. I was so delusional. Did I think I could really keep him? I watch as Reece stills as Amber clings to him, his eyes wider than saucers. Didn't he say he would reject his mate? Were those empty promises? My eyes turn blurry and I dash into the packhouse. The only place I can be right now is my room. Being outside, the full moon will be a painful reminder of what I’m going through. Even though I've run away, a part of me wants Reece to run after me. To choose me over Amber... But she’s his soulmate. Will he be able to resist her? I don't know anyone who’s ever tried and succeeded. I spend the next few minutes sitting at the foot of the bed. My heart is banging violently against my ribcage and I keep glancing at the door. Why isn’
Rose. Weeks later and I can’t seem to take that night off my mind. The way he touched me… the way he kissed me… Oh goddess, I can still feel his tongue on my pussy, his fingers sliding in and out of me and I desperately wish it was his cock. Why did I run away? He was right there, ready to be with me and I fucked it all up. So what if he has a mate? A little play wouldn’t hurt, right? It would. Because my feelings for Reece are so intense, even I don’t understand what I’m feeling. We’ve been meeting at the training grounds but I’ve been avoiding him like the coward I am. I’m afraid that I may start to hope for something that cannot be. He’s not mine. He belongs to another… but why do I feel this strong pull towards him? I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame... my thoughts are filled with his face and I dream about him all the time. I’m seated on a bench in the gym as I watch him train. With male warriors, thank the goddess. Reece seems to have put that bitch, A
