Alpha Dylan’s Pov

My claws dig into the earth as I circle my opponent, a fellow pack warrior, his yellow eyes locked on mine. His growl rumbles through the training grounds, but I’m not fazed. In my werewolf form, every muscle is coiled with power and precision. The warrior lunges at me, but I sidestep with ease, my movements fluid and confident.

He tries again, a flurry of claws and fangs, but it’s like fighting a shadow. I dodge each attack, my reflexes honed to perfection. With a quick swipe of my paw, I knock him off balance, sending him sprawling to the ground. A chorus of awe ripples around my pack warriors, their eyes fixed on me, their alpha, with reverence.

As I fight, my mind drifts to Lily. Just an hour ago, her sweet voice filled my head then I remember her mother’s latest scheme: a mating trial. I could still see the fear in Lily’s innocent eyes, knowing she stood no chance against seasoned werewolves. It took everything in me not to snap her mother’s neck for trying to c

  • His rejected mate   18. What have I gotten myself into?

    I awoke with a groan, agonizing pain pulsing through my head. Gingerly, I touched my forehead, feeling the rough texture of bandages wrapped around it. As I slowly sat up in bed, trying to piece together what had happened, I suddenly realized I was in an unfamiliar room.My eyes widened as I took in my surroundings. The room was lavish and elegant, decorated in various shades of dark grey. Rich, charcoal-colored velvet curtains framed floor-to-ceiling windows. A massive, ornate chandelier hung from the ceiling, its crystals catching what little light filtered through the curtains. The furniture was all sleek and modern, with clean lines and a masculine energy.The scent hit me next - a familiar, intoxicating aroma that made my heart race. I knew this scent all too well. This was Alpha Dylan’s room.As the realization dawned on me, memories of my argument with my mother and the subsequent fall down the stairs came flooding back. Before I could process this further, the bedroom door swu

  • His rejected mate   19. I could get use to this.

    The warm water cascaded over me, washing away some of the tension from the past few days. As I stepped out of his very sophisticated shower, I wrapped myself in one of Dylan’s towels. His scent enveloped me, making my head spin. It was comforting yet intoxicating, and I found myself breathing it in deeply.Realizing I had no clothes of my own, I padded into Dylan’s walk-in closet. It was huge and lavish, filled with impeccably tailored suits and designer clothing. I couldn’t help but run my fingers along the fabric, reveling in the softness and the lingering scent that was uniquely Dylan.Smiling to myself, I made my way to his dresser. I pulled out a white t-shirt, bringing it to my nose and inhaling deeply before tugging it over my head. It fell to my thighs, engulfing me in its size and his scent.Chuckling, I eyed his boxers, knowing they’d never fit me properly. Instead, I returned to the bathroom and retrieved my own underwear. Thankfully, the mesh material had dried quickly aft

  • His rejected mate   20. The commotion.

    I woke up feeling comforted, enveloped in warmth. Dylan’s arm was draped around me as he slept soundly, his steady breath tickling the back of my neck. His scent—clean, with a hint of cedar—was intoxicating, almost making me moan out in sweet bliss. Ugh, I could definitely get used to this, I thought.But then, reality intruded. My mother. The worry about her crashed into my serene morning. Maybe I could quietly remove myself from Dylan’s embrace, get a quick shower, and ensure she was okay. She might need me after going an entire day without seeing me, I needed to ensure I didn't need to put her into a mental institution.Slowly, I inched my hand towards Dylan’s, gently lifting it from my waist. His skin was warm, the weight of his arm both comforting and confining. As I tried to slip out of bed, his arm tightened around me, pulling me back into his chest. I felt his lips press against my hair, and he murmured, “You didn’t think you could get away from me that easily, did you, baby g

  • His rejected mate   21. Caught red handed.

    I stared at the door where Dylan had disappeared, anxiety building with each passing second. It had been two minutes, but it felt like an eternity. Unable to sit still any longer, I hopped out of bed and headed to the window. My mouth fell open at the sight before me. There, standing and talking, were Dylan and Ryan, Alpha Ryan was back!My skin tingled and my knees felt weak at the sight of the gorgeous man in the distance. I missed him so much! I knew he would return in one piece but seeing him again was overwhelming. My eyes darted around for my father, thinking he must be back too, which was definitely not good. He’d probably come bursting through the door any second now looking for me.Then, I remembered something crucial. Quickly, I got in front of the mirror and removed my headband. If Ryan ever saw this, he would surely go looking for a fight, considering he was the eldest of the twins and more aggressive. I only hoped Dylan hadn’t told him anything, though I feared he might.

  • His rejected mate   22. Breakfast first.

    Ryan pulled me into his arms, making me gasp at the sudden contact. My knees weakened as I looked up at him shyly, his intense gaze making my heart race even faster. “Where are you going, little one?” he asked, his voice a deep growl.I saw his eyes flash and his teeth extend, my own eyes widening. He wanted to mark me, to ensure I wouldn’t run away. He felt threatened, his alpha instincts telling him I didn’t want to be with him. His wolf felt hurt by my actions.Taking a risk, I quickly hugged him tight to me, feeling his tense body soften under my touch just few minutes later. But that wasn’t the only thing—I could feel myself heating up under his embrace. His scent was intoxicating.Alpha Ryan tightened his hold on me, wrapping his arms around my body. I bit my lip, my eyes meeting Dylan’s across the room. His hazy eyes made my heart pound even harder. I breathed in Ryan’s scent, feeling his hand knead every part of my body, especially my ass.A moan escaped my lips, my core throb

  • His rejected mate   23. Just perfect.

    Before I could react, Ryan’s strong arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me effortlessly. A startled gasp escaped my lips as he playfully tossed me onto the bed. I landed with a soft bounce, the bed’s surface cushioning me as I looked up at him with wide, uncertain eyes.Ryan’s smirk was both playful and commanding as he climbed onto the bed in front of me, his presence overwhelming in the best possible way. His eyes were dark with a hunger that made my heart race, and my cheeks flush a deep crimson. I felt a rush of nervous excitement as I realized the shift in the atmosphere.Dylan, leaning casually against the doorframe, observed with an approving smirk. His gaze was steady and intense, and I could feel the weight of his attention even from a distance.“What’s the matter, Lily?” Ryan’s voice was low and dripping with intent. His hands hovered near me; his touch tantalizingly close but not yet making contact. “You seem nervous.”Not only were his words but his proximity made me fee

  • His rejected mate   24. Seeking a solution.

    I scrambled off the bed, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and concern. I couldn’t let Ryan storm off in a rage without trying to stop him from going at war with my parents. Dylan was immediately by my side, his hand wrapping around mine firmly. He shook his head slightly, a silent plea for me not to do anything irrational.“Alpha Ryan, wait!” I called out, my voice trembling slightly.Ryan didn’t slow down or acknowledge me. His steps were swift and purposeful, his fury evident. The staff members we passed bowed their heads in recognition of their alpha, their expressions a mix of respect and apprehension.Dylan stayed close, his grip on my hand a steadying presence.Just as Ryan flung the front door open, my eyes widened in surprise. Standing in the doorway were their parents, Alpha Dominic and Luna Freya. Their presence was commanding, and their eyes took in the scene with a mix of curiosity and concern.Luna Freya’s eyes softened as she took in the scene before her. “It seems,”

  • His rejected mate   25. A second blackout.

    I found myself pacing anxiously outside the two grand doors, my heart pounding in my chest. The meeting that would decide my fate with that of the twins was happening just beyond those ornate barriers. I couldn’t help but feel like a child waiting outside the principal’s office, except the stakes were infinitely higher.Why wasn’t I included in this meeting, yet the twins were?! I wasn’t a child! It was my fate after all.My mind raced with possibilities. I desperately hoped for some kind of peaceful resolution to come out of this tense situation. Maybe, just maybe, the twins and my mother could come up with a solution that would allow me to coexist with both my parents and the twins. It was a naive thought, perhaps, but I clung to it like a lifeline. The idea of a happily ever after seemed so close yet so far away.Every few seconds, I’d stop to press my ear against the door, straining to hear any snippet of conversation. But the thick wood muffled everything, leaving me in agonizing

    Epilogue4 years later.......I woke up with a long, satisfying stretch, my muscles still languid from sleep. The sheets shifted beneath me, cooler than I expected. I blinked, reaching out, but the bed was empty—no sign of Ryan or Dylan. My lips tugged into a frown as I shifted under the covers, feeling the tender soreness between my thighs. The memory of our earlier intimacy washed over me, making me bite my lip as my face warmed with the thought.With a soft sigh, I pushed myself up looking at the wall clock. When I saw the time, my frown deepened. Seven at night? How had I slept this long? Where were they?I hurried to get dressed, still wondering where the twins were, when I stepped out of the room only to be immediately swept into Dylan’s arms. His lips claimed mine without warning, his kiss teasing and full of that familiar possessiveness. I barely had time to process before he pulled away, smirking down at me."How are you?" he asked."Good now that I'm able to locate at least

  • His rejected mate   46. A glimpse at the future.

    The waiting is excruciating. Jessica and I sit side by side in the clinic, both of us fidgeting nervously as we await our blood test results. When the nurse finally hands us our envelopes, I feel like I might throw up from the anticipation.Jessica opens hers first. I watch her face intently, my heart pounding in my chest. Then, a smile breaks across her face.“I’m clear,” she says, relief evident in her voice. “No toxins.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. “Oh, thank goodness,” I say, genuinely happy for her.Jessica and Morgan embrace, their joy evident. With trembling hands, I open my own envelope. My eyes scan the paper, searching for the results. And there it is – no toxins detected. A wave of relief washes over me so intensely that I feel lightheaded for a moment.“I’m clear too,” I announce, my voice barely above a whisper.Eager to share the good news with Ryan and Dylan, I get to my feet. But as I look around, I don’t see them in the clinic. Stepping out i

  • His rejected mate   45. Messed up.

    Dylan pulls me closer, his fingers brushing over the curve of my hip. A soft gasp escapes me, but I stay silent, caught between them. They know exactly what they’re doing—teasing, making me crave more.His lips find my neck, leaving a trail of heat as Ryan’s hand slips between my thighs. My pulse quickens, and a shiver runs down my spine as their touches grow more insistent.“You’re so wet already,” Ryan mutters, his breath hot against my ear. “And we haven’t even started.”I can barely breathe as their hands work together, stripping me bare, leaving me exposed to their touch. The nightdress slips away, and the cool air hits my skin, but it’s nothing compared to the heat of their bodies pressing against mine. I can feel Dylan’s growing hardness behind me as Ryan’s fingers dip lower, sliding between my slick folds.Ryan’s hand grips my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes as he strokes his hardness against my wetness. “Open that pretty mouth, Lily.”I obey, parting my lips as he slides hi

  • His rejected mate   44. A complete tease.

    Night has fallen, and I stand in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. The nightdress I’ve chosen is skimpy—practically scandalous. The soft, silky fabric barely reaches mid-thigh, and the neckline plunges just enough to be provocative without being too obvious. A mischievous smile tugs at my lips as I run my hands over the material, smoothing it out.It’s definitely not the kind of outfit someone worried about abstinence would wear. But hey, I’m just getting ready for bed—nothing more, nothing less.The two men sat up in bed, seemingly preoccupied. Their eyes sparing me no glance. I slip into the bed with a deliberate slowness, the cool silk of my skimpy nightdress brushing against my skin. It clings in all the right places, barely covering anything. The plunging neckline and dangerously short hem are no accident. I settle between Ryan and Dylan, now feeling their intense gazes on me, pretending to be utterly oblivious.“Comfortable?” Alpha Dylan asks, his voice filled with

  • His rejected mate   43. No intimacy.

    I settle back down on the exam table, looking between Ryan and Dylan with a mix of confusion and annoyance.“Okay, what exactly is going on here? What kind of mission were you two on that has you thinking I’m pregnant?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.Ryan and Dylan exchange a glance but ignore my question, their focus shifting to the doctor. Their dismissiveness stings, fueling my growing annoyance. I narrow my eyes at them.“I’m not doing any pregnancy test!” I declare, turning on my heel to leave. But I don’t make it far. In an instant, Dylan’s hand wraps around my wrist, pulling me back with a firm yet gentle tug. I gasp, spinning around to face them both, my frustration boiling over into something more.....naughty while in Dylan's arm.It was sad how I couldn't think clearly for a second in the arms of my mates.They guide me back to the chair, almost too gently, and I find myself sitting before them again. Their hands are folded, their expressions serious, as if they’re a

    Lily’s PovI can’t stop pacing. Back and forth, back and forth across the twins living room floor. My heart races, and I can’t shake this gnawing feeling in my gut. Ryan and Dylan are out there, facing who knows what kind of danger, and I’m stuck here, helpless.“Lily, please try to calm down,” Freya’s gentle voice breaks through my spiraling thoughts. I glance over to where she’s sitting on the couch, little Alice fast asleep against her shoulder. “I can sense that they’re okay. Your abilities are probably just a bit off since you’ve only recently gotten them.”I want to believe her, I really do. But the fear is almost paralyzing, I mean my vision looked so real and it’s already been two days what’s taking them so long? Thalia should be using her teleportation go back and forth plus the dark witches were only of a hundred in number. “What if something’s gone wrong?” I whisper, more to myself than to Freya. “What if the dark witches—”“Have faith in your mates,” Freya cuts in, her ton

    Alpha Dylan's PovRyan comes to stand beside me, his expression calm but with that unmistakable glint in his eyes. I catch his gaze, a knowing smirk playing on my lips. “So,” I ask, unable to resist the jab, “did you manage to put Lily to sleep?”Ryan just smirks back, his eyes gleaming with a mix of pride and satisfaction. “What do you think?” he replies, his tone dripping with confidence as he begins to walk off.I can’t help but chuckle, falling in step beside him. It was obvious we both knew exactly how to calm her down. It was only a pity that I wasn't able to be there to assist.“She may not be too happy when she wakes up, though,” Ryan adds, his voice more serious now, though still with that lingering edge of amusement.“Of course not,” I reply, shaking my head with a slight smile. “She’s a stubborn one.”Ryan chuckle, a low sound that rumbles in his chest. “It wouldn’t be too exciting if she weren’t a fighter, would it?”I chuckle along with him, appreciating the truth in his

  • His rejected mate   40. A death wish.

    Before I can catch my breath, he pulls out and flips me onto all fours, his hands firm yet gentle as he positions me on my knees. I barely have time to process what’s happening before he’s thrusting into me from behind, his hands gripping my hips as he takes me again, deeper and harder than before.The new angle sends sparks of pleasure shooting through me, and I gasp, my fingers digging into the sheets as he drives into me with relentless force. The sensation is almost too much, the intense pleasure mingling with the soreness of being taken so thoroughly.“Ryan,” I moan, my voice hoarse from screaming. “Oh, God… yes, please… don’t stop!”He doesn’t. Ryan’s pace is punishing, each thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. I can feel the tension building again, the pressure coiling tight in my stomach as he takes me over and over, pushing me closer and closer to the edge.“Fuck, Lily,” he growls, slapping my ass. “No one apart from my brother and me will ever have you like this

    We make our way inside Ryan's lavish home passing the young maid who glares at me in my mate's arms making me smirk at her jealousy which was now obvious.Once we were in his room Alpha Ryan’s grip tightens as he tosses me onto the bed, the force of his possessive nature sending a thrill down my spine. My breath hitches as I land on the soft sheets, heart pounding wildly in my chest. Before I can fully process the moment, Ryan is already on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress, making me feel utterly claimed.I realized they seemed to love throwing me onto the bed.His eyes are dark, swirling with a mix of desire and something more primal—something that sends a shiver through my entire being. Ryan’s hand cups my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “You’re ours, Lily,” he growls, his voice low and rough. “And you don’t ever pull a stunt like that again.”The memory of stripping off my clothes in public flashes in my mind, I bite my lips in a teasing manner watching as his
