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
His rejected mate 26. An island away.
I woke up with a groan, my head pounding. As I blinked away the grogginess, confusion set in. This wasn’t my room. This wasn’t anywhere I recognized.I found myself lying on a large, comfortable bed in what appeared to be a rustic yet luxurious beach house. Sunlight streamed through wide windows, and I could hear the distant sound of waves crashing. Slowly, I made my way to the window and gasped at the sight before me.A breathtaking island paradise stretched out as far as I could see. Crystal-clear turquoise waters lapped at pristine white sand beaches. Lush tropical foliage in vibrant greens swayed in a gentle breeze. Palm trees dotted the coastline, their fronds reaching towards a cloudless blue sky.It was beautiful, but the serene scene did nothing to calm the panic rising in my chest. There was no one around. No signs of civilization beyond this house.Suddenly, the memories came flooding back. My mother’s apology, the cloth over my face, the darkness closing in. How could she d
His rejected mate 27. Hell on earth.
Alpha Ryan's PovThe tension in the room was evident as I recalled the events of that fateful meeting. It had started with Sage’s announcement that she would be taking Lily and heading back home.Without missing a beat, I locked eyes with Sage, my voice measured. “Lily is our chosen mate; she's not going anywhere.”Gasps echoed through the room. I calmly surveyed the faces around me, noting the shocked faces. My father, Alpha Dominic, and Luna Freya however seemed unsurprised, as if they had seen this coming. And then there was Thalia, the White Witch, whose expression was a mix of intrigue and amusement.The gasps were heard from Alpha Scott and Sage herself.Sage’s face contorted with anger. “Over my dead body,” she hissed, her eyes blazing with fury.Dylan spoke up beside me, his voice as calm as mine. “You could have a send-off gift along with your request as well,” he said, the underlying threat in his words clear to everyone present.Sage’s face reddened. “As Luna and an oracle,
His rejected mate 28. Take me.
Lily's PovThe cool water of the pond enveloped me as I enjoyed my early morning swim. Suddenly, the sharp crack of breaking branches shattered the tranquil silence. Startled, I spun around, my heart racing.There, at the edge of the pond, stood Alpha Dylan and Alpha Ryan. A fierce blush crept up my cheeks as I realized I was completely naked in the water. I quickly crossed my arms over my chest, sinking deeper into the pond.Despite my embarrassment, I couldn’t help but take in their appearance. Both men were breathtaking, their muscular forms glistening with a light sheen of sweat. Dylan’s dark hair was tousled, framing his chiseled jaw and intense eyes. Ryan’s lighter locks were equally disheveled, his strong arms and broad shoulders on full display.Alpha Ryan’s lips curved into a smirk. “We just finished some early morning training and were about to take a swim,” he said, his voice deep and rich.My blush deepened, and I found myself at a loss for words.Alpha Dylan’s eyes sparkl
