CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: PLANNING A CEREMONY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kayla’s POV
After Zane left the room, I sat in my office trying to gather my scattered thoughts. I was a jumbled mess of emotions with confusion, anger, happiness and the most troublesome of all, hope… I was used to being in a state of calmness or annoyance at all times and the pile of emotions were wreaking havoc on me. I didn’t know how I was supposed to deal with this many emotions at a time. So I decided to do what I did the best. I ignored them and tried to focus on the paperwork in front of me. Then I thought of how I would have to start the paperwork of Sara’s transfer as soon as she submits her request officially. I didn’t want to give Zane any reason to prolong his visit if I could deal with it at the earliest.
Even as I tried to focus on the heap of papers in front of me, my mind kept wandering to the bundle of mischief that was Zane Black. I couldn’t help but remember our kiss, a

I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: THE POSSESSIVE MATE
Kayla’s POVJust an hour ago, we were in this same room, having a heated discussion followed by a passionate kiss. And now here we were again, talking about someone else’s mating ceremony as if none of those had happened. As Zane stayed professional while planning the ceremony details and the transfer of Sara, I could only feel grateful that he wasn’t harassing me again.“I will induct her as my pack member at the ceremony itself so that the function would flow smoothly. She needs to be in the same pack as her mate for their mind link to grow stronger, though just exchanging blood would start the bond. We could just have a simple induction function to welcome her to my pack later when we are there,” he said.I nodded at him absentmindedly, just as I had been doing for the past twenty minutes or so. I was happy for the couple and had no problem with the ceremony itself. But planning its fine
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: SAVING MY BETA
Kayla’s POVI watched in horror as Zane leaped towards Ethan who stood there foolishly, as if ready to fight an Alpha. Ethan was the only person in this world I considered a friend and seeing him about to lose his life in front of me snapped me into a frenzy. That too, at the hands of my mate and somehow, I had the feeling that I had unknowingly caused this fight.So, I did the only thing I could think of at such a short notice. I jumped in front of Zane, blocking his path towards Ethan. I hoped that seeing me would calm his rage. But somehow, his already golden eyes glowed even more gold. And that was a thing I hadn’t thought possible until now. I realised my stupidity too later as Zane growled at me in warning. He was pissed off that his mate was trying to protect another man, and he was far too lost in his wolf senses to understand my reasons for it. He could only perceive it as his mate choosing someone else ov
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: I AM NOT THAT GIRL
Kayla’s POVI was fuming as I walked towards the pack grounds in search of Ethan. How could he be so stupid to rile an Alpha? Was he so eager to die? If so, I will grant his wish myself. I will strangle him to death as soon as I spot him!People gave a wide berth to me as soon as they saw me marching through the corridors, sensing the anger radiating off me. I knew that I must be a sight with a snarl permanently etched on my face. But I was far too enraged at my stupid Beta to care about presenting a cool front.As I reached the pack grounds, I saw the training warriors and looked around, trying to see if Ethan was there. I felt my frown deepen when I saw that he wasn’t anywhere on sight.“Where is Ethan?” I asked a young boy who looked as if he was from the latest batch of recruits.“Be- Beta went to his qua- quarters,” the boy stuttered in response.I felt
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: SHE IS MINE
Zane’s POVI watched Kayla storming away in search of her Beta. My lips pulled into a frown as I remembered how close I had been to marking her now. What would have happened if I had gone with it and actually did it? Maybe she would have stopped resisting me then?Then I shook my head and let out a laugh. Knowing her, she would have just kicked me out of here and declared war on my pack. I would have to let her come to me on her own terms. Pushing her to a corner would only make her lash out and resist me even more… Till she realises what she is missing out, I would just have to wait. Pressing her buttons was fun, anyway!Then my thoughts wandered to what happened with her Beta. The guy was so in love with her that a blind man would have known it. I wondered how my mate who was clever with everything else remained ignorant of it for all this while. I had realised that he was head over heels in love with her
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: THE CEREMONY
Kayla’s POVAfter the confrontation with Ethan, my mind was in a turmoil. I couldn’t help but blame myself for not realising what he felt for me. How could I have not known about it for this long? I always took pride in my ability to find the truth from anyone with just a glance, and I was oblivious to what was right in front of me all this time. How could I have been blind like that? Maybe if I had realised it sooner, I could have told him off in the beginning itself and he wouldn’t have gotten hurt like this…Ethan was an amazing guy; good looking, powerful and most of all, a caring man. Any girl would be lucky to have him as her mate. Anyone except me. Because I just couldn’t be that girl. I was packed with too many burdens to have a man in my life, and if I was resisting my own mate whom the Goddess destined for me, how could I accept another man?I loved Ethan as much as I was c
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY NINE: SHE DOESN'T CHANGE
Zane’s POVAs the ceremony continued, I smirked, thinking of what was going to happen. Though the Alphas normally lead the packs on the run during full moon, in the days where there are mating ceremonies, it was the newly mated couple who would lead the run. The rest of the pack would give them enough time to enjoy the run in their wolf forms for a while before joining them.But as I planned the ceremony, Kayla’s words kept ringing in my mind. She had told me to take all the decisions regarding the ceremony, and I thought, why not? Though I had stuck with the traditional methods in all aspects of ceremony, I wanted to change one last detail. I wanted to lead the run with Kayla instead of having the couple having the lead. I was allowed to take the decision, and I didn’t think Kayla would go back on her word of letting me handle the ceremony. That meant she would have to agree to my decision if I say that we w
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER THIRTY: SEE YOU LATER
Kayla’s POVI closed my eyes and leaned back into the chair with a sigh. My mind flashed back to what happened in the ceremony and a bolt of anguish shot through my chest. The hopeful expression of Zane as he waited eagerly for me to turn to my wolf form had sent a wave of longing and agony through my heart, even though I kept a blank expression in my face.In the seven years since I first changed, there were several moments when I had a battle between my mind and body when I resisted the change. But before today, there had never been a day when I actually wanted to go through it. Maybe if I had stood there a bit longer, his penetrating gaze would have undone all my resolutions. I may have even forgotten the consequences of changing and the reason for why I never changed all these years. How could a man affect me this much that I was on the verge of doing something so stupid? How could I forget that it would cost me everything
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: THE NEW MISSION
Zane’s POVMy mind kept wandering back to Kayla’s expression when I asked her to shift. The longing and the anguish in her face was heart wrenching... The question ‘why’ kept ringing in my mind. Why would she torture herself by resisting the change? How much agony she would have suffered by not changing for years? What could have happened to make her take such a decision? Whatever it was, I had to find it and help her tackle it. I wouldn’t let her subject herself to this torture for long. My mate deserved to be free and live her life to the fullest like every other wolf. I wouldn’t let her cage her wolf forever like this!Just when I had found such a serious matter, the damn council had to call me! I was sure that if I stayed a little longer, she would have cracked and told me what it was. Maybe I could even have made her fall for me and take back her rejection. Well, I wouldn’t let it obstr

I reject you, Mr. Alpha EPILOGUE
Three weeks later…Kayla’s POVAfter I killed Stephen, we searched the mansion and found the papers of his research. We destroyed everything to make sure that no one would ever get the idea to create a race of wolves with magic ever again. Once that was done, we covered our tracks and ensured we left nothing that led to us. Done with our work, we left the place since the spell that blocked us from escaping had already gone down by then.The next day, I announced our relationship to my pack since I had no more reservations about it. The man had literally faced death for me several times, and I loved him as much as I could ever do anyone. There was nothing that stopped me from accepting our relationship wholeheartedly. The pack received the news with far more enthusiasm than I had expected. Even Ethan appeared to be genuinely happy at the way I accepted Zane, and I decided that it was time to let g
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN: LET’S GO HOME
Kayla’s POV I stalked towards Stephen, and he stood there looking at me with wide eyes. He was no longer sporting the smug expression from before, and he didn’t look interested in my wolf anymore either. “Kayla darling…” he called out in a coaxing tone that one would use to soothe an aggressive dog. I let out a loud growl at him and he flinched and took a few steps back. “I am your uncle, remember? I am the only one left in the world for you. You don’t want to harm me, right? You don’t want to be alone in this world, right?” The red in my vision darkened at his stupid words, and I snarled in response. ‘And whose fault is it that I have no one else left? Weren’t you the one who killed my entire family, you bastard!’ I mind linked him and his eyes widened in response. That’s right. He never left the pack officially, and hence he was still a member of my pack. And I am still his Alpha…
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE: TIME FOR JUSTICE
Kayla’s POVI looked horrified as the men laughed and approached Zane. I tried to hit my hand against the golden cage I was imprisoned in. But just like the last time, I was thrown off by the electric sparks from it. My hand sizzled for a moment before the burn healed. Well, it means the burns would heal at least. If I could just tolerate the pain, maybe I could break the cage?With renewed vigor, I took a few steps backwards, stopping right before my back hit the edge of the magical cage. Then I gritted my teeth, ready to endure the pain, and leaped towards the cage and kicked it. But all my efforts were for nothing. Even though I forced myself to endure the pain, it didn’t help like I had hoped. Instead of passing through the cage with some burns, it just repelled and threw me from it. I fell on the floor and panted hard, not even feeling the burns in my feet. My heart was suffering more pain than my body. If I couldn&

Kayla’s POVStephen looked startled at my sudden confidence, but then he smiled at me condescendingly.“My dear niece, I hope you have no illusions that you could fight against all of us? Being a girl and a measly wolf at that, you wouldn’t have stood a chance even if they were ordinary wolves. But with their magic, you have lost before you even start.”I didn’t bother to respond to him before looking over at the men next to him. With narrow eyes, I speculated about their strengths and anticipated their moves. I couldn’t ignore any details without knowing what would help me in dealing with them.“Aww, the little girl really is thinking of fighting us!” one man teased me.I walked backwards, and their eyes twinkled merrily, thinking I was going to run away. But they frowned in confusion when they saw that I just stood behind Zane.“Oh, the p

Kayla's POV I looked at Zane with wide eyes and slowly turned to see Stephen standing there with a wide smile. He looked just as I remembered. As if he hadn't aged a day since the time I saw him five years ago. Come to think of it, he looked even younger than how he looked then. Either the life was really good for him or he had a few tricks up his sleeves to keep aging at bay. Given the crazy hunger for power he possessed, he couldn't have had a peaceful life that prevented him from sporting grey hair. And from the magic raging around us, he was definitely dabbling with wizardry and I had a feeling that it was also responsible for his youthful looks. I looked at him with a blank expression pasted on my face and even though his face looked exactly the same as when I had seen him when he was younger, he felt different somehow. Then I realiz

Kayla’s POVAs Raymond got busy with shouting instructions to his loyal followers, I slowly slipped away from him and walked over to Zane, who was standing there with a sour look.“Relax. You know I don’t care for his attention, right?” I whispered.“As if you cared about that when you saw Maggie flirting with me.”I flinched at the reminder of the witch and bit my lips when I realised that he wasn’t clueless about her pining like I thought he was. I had to give Kudos to his act, though. Even I was fooled into thinking that he didn’t notice her efforts.I looked up to see Zane’s nostrils flaring, and then he narrowed his eyes.“Just as I thought.”Huh?Zane looked at me with a smirk.“Guess who is reeking of Stephen’s scent?”My eyes widened in the realisation that Zane got Stephen’s
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE: THE HERO OF THE PARTY
Kayla’s POVI stared at the skinny guy who stood staring at the unconscious man with a proud expression. He dusted his hands off before looking around the hall as if waiting for anyone else to challenge him. People looked at him and then the brawny guy on the ground before scampering off while a few lingered around, praising his strength.I watched as the bigger man who was still unconscious was dragged away from the hall by his peers. For a werewolf to become unconscious and to stay so for this long, how much force should have been used on him? That too by a guy who looked as if he couldn’t even stand straight on his own.It smelled really fishy, and I just knew it in my heart that this was all linked to Stephen. I didn’t have any evidence that said so, but my instincts were screaming at me that this has Stephen written all over it and my instincts had never let me astray so far.As the g
I reject you, Mr. Alpha CHAPTER EIGHTY: DANCING AND SPYING...
Kayla’s POVWhen I thought of going to hunt Stephen, what I pictured in my mind was both of us getting dressed in badass spy costumes and searching for him stealthily until Zane gets his scent trail. And I thought it wouldn’t be much of a hassle since we were fairly certain that he was still somewhere in the state and we only needed to stop by in each of the towns before he could come across the vile man’s scent. We wolves could sniff out our prey for miles, and with Zane’s superior tracking skills, he could track the scents even farther than regular wolves.I had mapped it all in my head, and that’s why I was surprised when Zane declared his brand new plan that had nothing to do with what I had in mind.Zane had vetoed my grand plans by telling that it would look suspicious if we go to every town and sniff around for Stephen. He may get wind that we were searching for him, and we would nev

Kayla’s POVOnce Zane informed me that he got Stephen’s scent, I thought that we would start hunting him right away. But he insisted he needed to get some things done before commencing the tracking. My excitement took a nosedive at his declaration, but I decided I could use the time to check the snake’s diary.We locked the cottage, and I ignored Zane’s ill concealed laughter as I buried the key back in the plant pot. What is wrong with having a hiding place for a key?!When we reached the hotel room, I made a beeline for the couch and sat with the diary in my arms. I wanted to know what all nasty secrets it carried.Zane looked at me with amusement shining in his eyes, but seeing my determined expression, he left me to it before going to the balcony with his mobile.I opened the diary and noted that it was from the year of the rogue attack. For him to lock it in a hidden compartmen
