Her Rejection, His Regret 18
“No.” I shook my head in denial. There was no way that this could be true. But on the other hand, why would my best friend lie to me about something like this? “Isla, believe me I am telling you the truth.” She placed both hands on my shoulders and looked me dead in the eyes. I was mad. How could my father lie to me and say that my own mother was dead? Pembroke was full of lies and deserved nothing but bad luck! How dare they lie to me and make me think that my mother had died. And what about my sister? Oh, my goddess! Did she know? Was she in on this too? “Where is she?” I growled. “Isla, you cannot tell them that you know. Just as your best friend I cannot keep something like this from you. Please.” Zara begged me quietly as we spotted my uncle and a couple of others walking over to us. “Isla, in my office now.” My uncle ordered and I glanced over my shoulder at my best friend. “Please.” She mouthed at me, and I nodded. I would not say a word about t

Uncle Ed could not look at me, making me feel even worse than I already did. I knew that he was not telling me the whole truth. It was only when Max cleared his throat and spoke up that I glanced his way. “Isla, I think it would help if you both calmed down. I can understand your concerns, but rest assured that your family will come to no harm.” He promised, and I nodded, hugging my knees to my chest and wondering how it had come to this. I missed my life before returning to Pembroke, and now bad luck seemed to follow me everywhere. “They are not your family.” Uncle Ed turned to me and growled. I could see he was trying to control the anger inside of him. His body language gave that away, with his clenched fists, red face and raised voice. Max sent him a warning glare, but he continued to ignore that. I was confused. How could he say that they were not my family when they were? Maybe he just meant that after all the things that had happened,

“I apologise for my abruptness, my dear Isla. But you must understand. I knew nothing about you until you came here five years ago. My mate, she had you in secret and gave you to her best friend. She is not my sister, but we were close growing up. That is how I am classed as your uncle. Please know that I never wanted to keep this from you.” He took a breath. “I did what I felt was best. However now that it has become clear that you are mates with the Lycan king. The truth needed to be said.” I listened to his words carefully, feeling a lot of calmers. Perhaps because I had Max with his arms wrapped tightly around me. I did not want him to let go of me. My mind was a mess. Then I remembered my best friends’ words. My mother was not dead. She was alive. I felt so frustrated at that moment. All these lies. “What about my mother. I know that she is not dead. Why is this being kept from me?” I seethed pushing max away from me and standing up to face Ed. His eyes wi

Alpha Miller's POV The long drive back to Pembroke was awful. Lonely and depressing, My wolf hated me for rejecting Isla; she was so beautiful, and I treated her like trash. She did not deserve that at all. And now she had been blessed with a second chance mate, none other than the Lycan King Max. I could see just how besotted he was with her; it was horrible for me to witness that. I had hoped that Isla would give me another chance, but the second she saw him, I knew that was out of the window. I knew that losing her mother would have been horrendous for Isla. She hid her emotions exceptionally well. But seeing that made me feel just a snippet of how she must have felt all that time when seeing me with Mora. I knew it hurt her badly, and now she was stronger, more confident and everything that I had never believed she could or would be. Mora was such a whiny pain in the ass nowadays. Of course, I did care for her, and she was carrying my first-born pup, the heir t

Isla's POV I found myself walking down a long winding road, there was not a soul in sight. The weather was beginning to get cold, and Cleo was getting tired, I knew that rest would help. However, I just could not shake off the feeling that there was somebody behind me, watching me. Looking around, I saw nobody, inhaling the fresh air. I flared my nostrils but sensed nothing. Not even the tiniest whiff of another's scent. It was all very strange, so I decided that my mind was simply playing tricks on me. I was tired, beyond exhausted, but thankful to Cleo for taking over, giving me a small chance to recover. She was strong and could hunt for food so that we would not starve to death. Coming across an old brick building which seemed from the outside to be abandoned, I allowed myself to shift back to human form. It was freezing and I pushed open the wooden door. I was surprised to find that somebody had been living here. There was a fire that had recently been put out, a fe

Isla’s POV I stood there speechless. Did they think it was funny to prank me like that? “Yeah, very funny. Now, what’s the real deal?” I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. Mora frowned and then looked at my brother with a shrug. “This is not a joke, Isla. I love your brother, and I have left Miller. You are welcome to him and that pathetic Pembroke. It’s not what it’s cracked up to be anyway.” Mora told me, and I was surprised at her words because all she had done was speak to me like I was nothing. Why would she want to be with my brother when she hated me so much? He was my brother, and she wanted to take him away as well. This girl would stop at nothing to destroy my life, and I could not understand why. What did I ever do so wrong to her to deserve this? “I do love Daniel.” She said. “Mora is with me. I bought her here, and the rogues attacked us. I saved her by killing them, which is why I am covered in blood. I have

It was still dark when I woke, but I didn't let that stop me from getting up and leaving. I did not want to waste another moment of my life here, especially when Daniel was asleep, cuddled up with Mora. I hated her so much for everything that she had done to me. I opened the door and quietly closed it behind me. "Isla?" A voice called after me. Mora. Oh great! She had woken up and was following me now. Was there no escape from this girl? "What do you want?" I snapped harshly, and she looked surprised, but I don't know why since we had never been able to get along before. "To talk," she replied. "Just leave me alone," I growled, running into the woods; I wanted to be away from her. I needed to think straight. "Isla, please." I heard her again. She was coming after me and, in her state, too. "Just go away, Mora. I do not want to talk to you, let alone look at you." I snapped. "You are in no fit state to be hanging around, are you?" I grunted with a shake

My heart went wild, and my wolf suddenly emerged from her shell. She was over the moon to see Max again. It was evident that he was feeling the same vibe. “Isla. I was so worried about you.” he stroked my cheek, and I placed my hand over his and smiled weakly. A tear fell, and he went to wipe it away with his other hand and then kissed my forehead. “Everything will be ok now, baby, I promise,” he assured me, and I could not deny how good it felt to have him right before me. Then, I came back to reality with a massive crash as Mora began to moan and mumble. We needed to get her back to safety. I might not like the girl, but she was about to have a baby, and I couldn't walk away. “Go back and get your brother. I will take her to the hospital. I already mind-linked with them to let them know so everything will be ready for her arrival. Please don't worry.” he kissed my cheek and ran off before I could say or do anything. It took me a few minutes to get myself

Luke pov The black wolf snarled, his eyes narrowing with fury as he calculated his next move. We were no longer just a pack of wolves; we were a force of nature, an unquenchable flame ignited by our collective resilience and unity. With every heartbeat, the anticipation surged through us, amplifying each flicker of power as we stood against him, determined to banish the darkness that had haunted the edges of our lives. “Enough!” he roared, charging at me, the darkness pooling around him in a furious torrent. I could feel the malevolence radiating off him like heat from a fire, trying to instil fear within our hearts. Yet, as he bore down on me, I could see the uncertainty behind that ferocity. He was no longer the predator; he was desperate. “Together!” I shouted again, urging my pack to rally. Carrie and Ryder poured their strength into the barrier of light that Rachel had conjured, reinforcing it as we prepared for his assault. As the black wolf lunged toward me, time seeme

Luke pov As the shadows slowly began to release their grip on me, an instinctive anger ignited within, burning hotter than the darkest depths of the void that had threatened to swallow me whole. All around, I could sense my pack gathering strength—Carrie’s fierce determination, Ryder’s unyielding loyalty, and Rachel's frightened yet resolute presence in the corner of my mind. Our shared bond pulsed like a heartbeat, commanding me to fight back.“You think you can break free?” the black wolf taunted, his voice echoing through the night like thunder. “This realm belongs to the darkness now!”Ignoring his bravado, I focused on the shared energy radiating from my packmates. Each heartbeat was a reminder of what we stood to lose. We were more than just a collection of wolves—we were a family woven together by our struggles, victories, and unbreakable bonds. “Together!” I shouted, pulling every ounce of strength from my soul and feeling the power surge to the surface. “We won’t give in!”
Her Rejection, His Regret Twenty seven
As we pulled away from the embrace, I felt the weight of our previous argument still hanging in the air. I could see that a cautious acceptance was slowly replacing my mother's worry, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something more sinister was lurking beyond our immediate concerns.We gathered the rest of the pack for an emergency meeting, each member looking apprehensive. The day's events had spread like wildfire, and now everyone was on edge. I stood before them, clearing my throat to capture their attention.“I know today was a close call,” I began, my voice steady despite the adrenaline rush still coursing through me. “But we are stronger than we realise. The rogues won’t just back off easily. They will come again, and when they do, we need to be prepared.”Ryder stepped forward, his eyes flashing with intensity. “I suggest we step up patrols immediately. We’ve already started gathering everyone for a watch rotation. We can’t let them have the upper hand.” The pack murmured
Her Rejection, His Regret Twenty Six
Luke’s POV As we stood there, the rogues slowly backing away, Carrie's voice echoed through the cave. I could sense her power building, knowing she was getting angry. Her eyes were blazing with fierce determination, and I could see the wolves within her starting to stir."You're not taking anyone else from my pack," she growled, her voice low and menacing.Ryder, still in his wolf form, let out a snarl, and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. The two remaining rogues took another step back, their eyes darting between us.I took a step forward, my power growing in response to Carrie's. "You're not going to hurt anyone else," I said, my voice firm.The rogues hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran. We let them go, knowing that they wouldn't be able to escape for long. We had won this battle, but we knew that there would be more to come.I glanced over at Ryder, who was still in his wolf form. He was panting heavily, his eyes still burning with anger. I coul
Her Rejection, His Regret Twenty five
Luke’s pov We returned to the pack, exhausted but determined. Our parents were already there, discussing the situation with the other pack members. "I think we should split our pack into smaller groups and patrol the surrounding areas," my father suggested. "We need to catch these rogues off guard and take them down before they can do any more harm." I nodded in agreement. "I think that's a good idea, father. But we also need to come up with a plan to protect Carrie. She's the key to this whole thing." Carrie looked up at me, her eyes still flashing with anger. "I don't need protection," she growled. "I can take care of myself." But I knew that wasn't true. The rogues were too strong, too cunning. She needed our help to stay safe. Even if she was powerful and able to beat anyone down. We still needed to protect her as she got used to her powers and understood them better. Ryder suddenly stepped forward. "I'll stay with her," he said. "We'll keep her safe, no matter wha

Luke’s POV “Rachel, go fetch my parents,” I yelled as she ran to alert my pack. Carrie and Ryder remained with me. I wouldn't let anything happen to her, and as the future alpha, I had to stand my ground. “What do you want from this pack? Why don't you leave and never return? You're not welcome here.” I growled as the prominent rogue leader finally stood before us. He eyed me curiously before a cunning smirk formed on his face. “You came to the city. Your sister came after you. She was nice enough to leave her portal open so we could return here. What we want is behind you.” he answered gruffly. I glanced to my side and realised that he was referring to Carrie. He wanted Carrie. All this was about my sister. “We have been searching for her for many years now. You see, she isn't like any of you. She isn't one of you.” he explained, and I felt my sister tremble with confusion behind me. “You're not taking her anywhere. She's my mate.” Ryder snarled, and I held him
Her Rejection, His Regret Twenty Three
Luke pov Luke pov I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the retreating figures of Carrie and her new mate. My mind was racing with questions and concerns. Who was this guy? What pack was he from? What was his story? And what did he have to do with my sister?My mother's words echoed in my mind - "stop her". But I knew it was too late. Carrie was determined to follow her heart, regardless of anyone else's thoughts. And as much as I wanted to protect her, I knew that trying to stop her would only push her further away.I turned back to my parents, who stared at me with worry and despair. My father's expression was etched with concern, while my mother's face was wet with tears."Luke, please," she said, her voice shaking. "You have to talk to her. Make her see reason."I shook my head, feeling a pang of guilt. I wanted to believe there was still a way to turn back the clock, to make Carrie see that this guy wasn't good enough for her. But deep down, I knew it was too late."She's made up he
Her Rejection, His Regret Twenty Two
Carrie’s POV I could feel the weight of my parents' disapproval bearing down on me as we walked away from them. I knew they would never understand me, never accept Ryder as my mate. But I didn't care. I was done being controlled, done being told what to do and who to be with. Ryder squeezed my hand, his grip tight and reassuring. "We'll figure it out," he said, his voice low and steady. "We'll find a way to stop the rogue wolves and ensure you're safe." I nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. We would do it, no matter what my parents said or did. We would find a way to make this work. As we walked, the trees seemed to grow taller and darker around us, casting long shadows across the forest floor. I could feel the moon rising above us, its light casting an otherworldly glow over everything. "Where are we going?" Ryder asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "I don't know," I admitted. "I just know I can't go back there. Not now." Ryd

Carrie’s POV “Please give me a moment with my daughter.” my mother said, dragging me away from Ryder and prying eyes.“You cannot accept him as your mate, Carrie.” she insisted, and I felt my blood boil through my veins. Was she being serious? The moon goddess had paired me with Ryder for a reason! How could she expect me to ignore that? I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, but my mind was racing with thoughts of Ryder and the danger he was in. I knew my parents were trying to protect me, but I couldn't shake the feeling that they didn't understand.“Carrie, your mother is correct. We don't know him at all. He could be anyone.” my father agreed with my mother. Not that I could expect anything different since they never disagreed over anything. "MOTHER, FATHER! Please," I said, trying to reason with them. "Ryder is trying to help us. He's willing to put his life on the line to protect us. He knows what he is talking about. Why won't you give him a chance? Can you not
