After the shock that Xavier gave me for asking about his thoughts, both of us fell into an uncomfortable, awkward silence.

What scared me even more was Aurora’s silence.

I need to find out what is wrong with my baby.

Her calm and composed nature irritated me to the core. Did they do something to her? I shall kill that woman if I find her again. I wanted to pinch my baby and see if she cried. Was that wrong of me as a mother? I don’t know.

Xavier was not helping at all.

The doorbell rang and I looked up to see if Xavier would answer the door. He did.

Looked like someone from the pack had made a visit. They handed something to Xavier in a bag and left.

“What is it?”

“Some dress for you to wear tonight.” He handed me the bag.

I peeked into it and found a white satin dress. Would it even fit me? And who selected it?

I looked up to glance at Xavier to see if he was thinking about something like this, but he seemed lost.

I just picked it up and headed to the bedroom, carrying Aurora on the

  • His Rejected Mate   1. ARIANA

    I woke up with a blissful smile on my face. Why would I not? After all, it's my birthday today. I turn 18 today and I finally get to choose my mate. Throwing off the covers, I jumped out of the bed and quickly ran into the washroom to get ready. Pulling out a white sweater and a white skirt, I wore it with my white stockings. Wearing my pink shoes to fit my outfit, I quickly applied my lipgloss and blush. Grabbing my bag, I rushed out of my room and ran down the stairs to meet my family who were waiting at the dining hall. My mom hugged me on seeing me and wished me.“Happy Birthday Ariana.” My dad wished me looking up from his plate. He is not a big hugger or even a man who shows his emotions.“Happy Birthday dear.” This was my mother. I put my bag on the floor and sat on the stool at the kitchen counter, beside my brother.“Happy Birthday Ariana.” This was my brother.“Thank you Augustus.” I gave him a smile which he didn’t return. But nothing could kill my mood today.“Are you exci

    Four Years laterA knock sounded on the door.“Xav! Who is it?” I yelled from the kitchen.“Coming.” He yelled back from the stairs and ran to open the door.I could hear some muffled dialogue but apart from that I couldn’t make out who it was. Oh, right. It should be Mrs. Paul, she said she wanted some recipes from me and she would visit us in the afternoon.Wiping my hands on the kitchen towel, I walked towards the door. “Is it Mrs. Pau—”Words got stuck in my throat.It was him.Lucas Klein in flesh, at my doorstep.“What the hell are you doing here?” I barked and Xavier held me back before I could kill him.“I–I just wanted to talk to you.”Wow, Lucas Klein and stuttering. I never thought that I would get to see the day where I would see the mighty and proud Alpha stuttering. Hell, I didn’t even think that he would want to see me after all that he said and did to me. “Then talk. Why are you here?” I folded my hands in front of my chest and his gaze fell onto my boobs.“Eyes up he

    Walking towards him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He immediately wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. Pulling apart I rested my head against his and whispered. “I love you.”“I love you too.” He kissed my forehead and I smiled.“Sometimes, you cannot undo certain things. And one of those is betrayal. I lost something very precious to me when I met him and I can never ever get it back. And with you I found pieces of me that I didn’t even know existed. I am not talking about choosing but it’s always you for me.” He smiled and hugged me tightly and I hugged him back discreetly wiping my tears. “Thank you for telling me that. That’s the sweetest thing ever.” He kissed me all over my face, making me giggle at the wet, ticklish feeling.I escaped his grip and went back to the kitchen.Xavier followed me and hugged me from behind, kissing me on my neck. He bit my skin there and I hissed. “Don’t leave a hickey. I can’t cover it in s

    I woke up to someone raining kisses on me. I tried to shield my face and sleep but I couldn’t. He was relentless. Sighing, I opened my eyes and there he was. Straddling me but without touching me. I pouted seeing him so energetic and active while I felt tired and sleepy.He kissed my pout and I pushed him away playfully.“I am sleepy. Let me sleep.”“Come on baby, you must be hungry. Let’s get you some food and then come back here.” I ignored his comment and pulled the comforter over and closed my eyes.“Are you tired?” I nodded without opening my eyes. “I am sorry for being so harsh last night.”I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was feeling bad and demeaning himself in his head.Caressing his face I spoke. “I loved what we did yesterday, but it’s probably this pregnancy that’s making me so tired and lazy.” He leaned into my touch and I smiled at his act of his.“Sleep for a little while. I shall grab our breakfasts and be back.” He kissed my forehead and pulled the comforter up

    “Can I come in?” He asked and I stepped aside from the doorway and let him in. “I got these for you. I didn’t know what flowers you like but I hope you like Tulips.”“Now just because you got me something, I must like it?” I snapped back, feeling a sense of frustration building up.“No. I am sorry, that’s not what I meant. I can take them back if you—”“No, it's fine.” Xavier cut him off and I glared at him. He glared back at me and I knew what he meant. He was asking me to remain composed. He picked the bouquet and walked to the kitchen to place them in a jug of water. I sat on the couch and he sat in front of me. Xavier came back with a bottle of water for me and kissed my head. Sitting beside me on the armrest, he wrapped his arm around me and I leaned into him. Lucas was clearly uncomfortable with the way he was fidgeting in his place seeing us. He tried to look here and there to hide his discomfort but he was doing a poor job at it.“I want to let you know that we are coming to C

    She is pregnant. She is —--preg–pregnant.Tears sprang in my eyes and I didn’t even understand why. I quickly walked to the hotel I was staying in and shut the door with a bang. Walking to the liquor cabinet, I pulled out a bottle of vodka and pulled the lid open. Throwing it away in some corner, I chugged the liquid without even caring to pour it into a glass. The strong flavour burned my throat but I could care less. All I felt was a void that hurt so hard. I had experienced the similar kind of pain when I rejected her, four years ago. But I was too arrogant to care about it. But today seeing her in someone else’s arms made my heart clench.Is that how she felt when she found another woman in my arms?Is that how it pained her to see me?The mere thought of her going through so much pain tore my insides. I was childish and clouded with pride. I wanted someone to match me and my vibe and hence I chose Sophia as my mate, rejecting Ariana. Three months into our relationship I realized

    I was feeling nervous. Very nervous. Something in my heart told me that I might be doing the right thing but something was also very wrong about it. I felt Xavier’s arm wrapping around my shoulder and hugging me to himself and I sank into him. I could feel Lucas’s eyes on me but I could care less.“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Xavier’s soft voice calmed my nerves.“No. Just………feeling something.” He rubbed my arm in a soothing manner and I closed my eyes and tried to focus my attention on something else. Like my man and our baby.Yesterday, we had the chance to see our baby and we were more than overwhelmed. Xavier couldn’t stop crying and I couldn’t stop staring at the screen. She was perfect. Yes, she. I was 21 weeks along now and we found out that we were having a girl. How exciting was that? Xavier was so smug and happy about this that he couldn’t stop staring at the picture the technician printed us. He wanted a baby girl and we were going to have one soon.My hands went to my s

    I was correct when I decided that this was a wrong decision. The moment I stepped into the hall of the pack house, all the eyes were on me. Looking at me like I was some vampire who had been brought into the werewolf world.“That is Shane.” Lucas' voice brought my attention to the woman with afro hair and pink clothes, with beads and crystals on her neck. She looked like a woman who wanted to start a cult but couldn’t and then became a Occultist.“Hi.” I spoke meekly, not believing my voice.“Shane, this is my mate Ariana and –” Before he could finish his words, we heard a snort. Sophie. She was leaning against the entrance looking at us, no, sneering at me. I rolled my eyes at her, not caring about the people around and sat down on the couch before Shane.“I am not his mate. I never was and I never will.” I heard a growl but I knew whose it was. Xavier sat beside me and I instantly relaxed into the familiar warmth surrounding me.“I know dear. I am sorry for what happened to you. Yo

    Everything around me was null. Nothing made sense anymore. What I thought was a normal case of being troubled by the Vampires and my repentance to protect the pack and be a better Alpha, turned out to be a part of a prophecy.A prophecy?No one has ever heard of something like that. We have only heard of tales and stories from our grandparents as kids, as they captured our attention with these stories.But today, after whatever happened, I don’t think I shall ever see them as stories.Elders never interfered with normal lives. They lived on their own. No one even knew where they lived. They could be summoned by some special people, but usually they never stuck their nose in anyone’s business at all.On top of everything, the irony was not lost on me. There was a time I rejected Ariana, now, even if she was willing to accept me, her body didn’t. Her fate didn't.I felt a sting in my chest thinking of the way she reacted to the mark and the way the mark sealed. Werewolves are proud of t

    The woman’s voice was almost gentle. “Those who seek to sacrifice you.” She turned to Xavier. “You are her mate.”“Yes I am. In the normal world, I am called a husband.” He sassed.She chuckled and walked to us. Xavier stepped in front of us and I hid myself and Aurora behind him. “I shall not harm you dear. I am here to help you.” She spoke. Her voice was still the same. Calm and gentle.“Let me help you.” Her eyes locked with mine and I shakily nodded. Xavier stepped aside, but stood by my side, ready to pounce. I glanced at Lucas who was looking at us with an unreadable expression. She stepped in front of me and placed her hand on Aurora’s head. Caressing her hair softly, she smiled at Aurora. Aurora’s cries completely died down. She looked at me and then at Xavier and then closed her eyes. Her palm was still on my daughter’s head.“She shall be a queen one day. Just like her mother, brave and strong. She shall inherit your fierceness and love.” She looked at Xavier when she spoke t

    The moment I woke up, I was pulled into a warm chest. Another tiny body was felt in between and I immediately recognised the scent. Xavier and Aurora. Tears slid down my cheeks when I saw him teary eyed. “I am fine.” I mumbled and connected our lips. We had to pull away before we could deepen our kiss because Aurora was not happy with us kissing. I squished her cheeks and peppered her face with kisses making her scream and laugh.“Thank god you are okay. I was so scared.” A tear made it’s way down his cheeks and I wiped it away with my thumb.“I am not leaving you at all. I am here. Forever.” It was our marriage vow. Before I could add anything, the door swung open with a force that it shattered. Aurora’s shrill cry echoed in the air as a group of people walked in.Xavier stood up, standing in front of us defensively. I stood up from the couch, wobbling a bit to find my balance. Aurora was clutched to my chest, as I tried to calm her down.The energy in the room felt shifted. Those thr

    I was falling, falling into an abyss. Before I could hit the bottom and die, someone caught my hand, yanking me upward with an effortless pull. The darkness around me shattered, replaced by blinding light. My feet hit solid ground, but I stumbled, disoriented.A garden? Maybe.The air was thick with the scent of blooming flowers, their petals swaying in a gentle breeze. The grass beneath me was so green it looked unreal, like the fresh crayon in a child's coloring set. Birds chirped overhead, their melodies weaving through the rustling leaves. Somewhere in the distance, the steady rush of a waterfall filled the air, its mist catching the golden sunlight. The entire world around me shimmered—like something out of a dream, or maybe a Korean mythology drama."You are finally here."The voice was soft yet commanding, carrying an ethereal hum, like the first note of a song yet to be sung.I turned, squinting against the sunlight, and my breath hitched.She floated above the ground, her long

    She lost consciousness. The moment her body began to fall back, and I quickly held her, lifting her up in my arms. Her neck was bleeding badly and it didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon. Shane moved from the couch and I placed her on the couch. Her hands fell limp to the side and I placed them on her stomach comfortably.The doctor was quick to take a look at her. He placed thick cotton pads on her neck, absorbing the blood and preventing the overflow. I grabbed her hand in mine while caressing her cheek with the other. Color began draining from her face. Lucas was behind me, hovering like an annoying bee, waiting to see what was happening.“I am going to stitch her up. It looks like she is losing too much blood.” I nodded, giving him my approval and turned around and glared at him.“What were you thinking?” I barked. “I didn’t mean to hurt her. The mark is supposed to be made that way. I am sorry.” His apology made no difference. If not, it made me even more angry at him.“Ca

    Nervousness?Anxiousness?Scared?These didn’t even compare to what I was feeling inside. I was shit scared. Fucking shitting sacred.Xavier was trying his best to cheer me up. He and Aurora dressed in cute bear costumes, acting so adorable that I was teary eyed. Xavier complained that he was trying to make me happy but it misfired. I did tell him those were happy tears but he didn’t believe me. What was I scared of?Everything.I knew that I said that I was interested in anything, but that was not true. I knew that the moment I was declared as the Luna, there was no going back. I would do my best to fulfill the role of a Luna. I may not rule beside him from the same throne, but I would definitely have to interact with him. “What is that that bothers you?” Xavier held my hand, stopping me from pulling out all the strings in the pillowcase.“Everything.”“Tell me one by one.” He placed a pillow on his lap and pulled it closer to his chest. He was all ready to listen what I was about t

    “What does that mean?” I stood up from my place and turned to face her.She rolled her eyes at me. “I think it means what it means. I don’t have a wolf.”“How? Why?” There were no right questions. Every werewolf has a wolf. Having sex with a human doesn’t make it disappear. And I knew that she had a wolf. My wolf recognised hers when she turned 18.“Sora died protecting me. She took away all the pain of the rejection that was inflicted. One of us would perish given the amount of pain. She gave up herself.” She spoke.Xavier wrapped his arm around her and she leaned in. It seemed like he knew about all of this and was okay with it. What k

    I walked away from there, hanging my head in shame.How long will you keep letting her down? I didn’t know if it was my wolf or my subconscious which taunted me.That said, her final question haunted me too.I had never made up my mind to tell her. I didn’t know why I even told her. All I wanted was to find a place in her good books, but that seemed like a far fetched dream, right now. Nicholas was silent on the way back to the pack house and I was glad for the silence. “Install the cameras and let me know. Don’t even leave a pot. No one must sense a blind spot.” He nodded wordlessly and got back to work. Pouring myself a glass of whiskey, that gladly burned my throat like my burning heart, I sat down. Her words, her accusations, the disappointment in her face did something to me. What did I manage to do all these years? Am I a good man? Am I a good wolf? Are my people happy? My chest tightened when I realized that I was a bad and mean alpha. Do the people even trust me?Kane walked
