Ainsley held Eloise’s hand, his grip strong, but the anger that had consumed him was slowly fading. As his fingers interlocked with hers, a strange warmth spread through him. His rage, his fear, the desperation to save her, everything calmed as though the touch itself was grounding him. Why does this feel so… right? His mind raced, unable to process the unexpected tranquility.

For what seemed like an eternity, time stood still. Eloise coughed, water spewing from her mouth as she struggled to breathe. Each rasping breath felt like a battle, but slowly, with a strained gasp, she opened her eyes. They were swollen and irritated, her vision blurry. She could barely make out the figure in front of her, but there was something about his presence that comforted her.

Ainsley watched her with a mix of relief and uncertainty. He could see her lips move, faint and trembling. Her voice, hoarse and weak, reached his ears. “Money,” she whispered.

The word hit Ainsley like a slap in the face. The su

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Why don’t you beg me for your life?

    The scene continued to unfold with intense emotion, as Ainsley’s words hit Eloise like a bitter storm. When he spoke of her life being worthless, it felt as though a dagger had pierced her heart, leaving her breathless. The words felt like poison, seeping deep into her soul. Her chest tightened painfully, and for a moment, she instinctively placed a hand over her heart, trying to shield herself from the sharp sting of truth.His hand had raised, as though he might reach for her, but then it dropped, his expression unreadable. His composure, however, was a facade. “Alpha Williams, you are right. My life is worthless,” Eloise repeated, each word carrying a sense of finality.But when she repeated his own cruel words back to him, something shifted in Ainsley. A deep irritation, for no clear reason, bubbled within him. It wasn’t that he thought she was wrong, it was that hearing those words from her made his chest constrict. He couldn’t understand it. It was as if her repetition somehow m

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Opps He Got slapped!

    The tension in the room thickened, suffocating both Ainsley and Eloise. Ainsley’s grip around Eloise’s neck tightened, and her lifeless expression only seemed to fuel his frustration. The woman beneath him showed no resistance, her body limp, her eyes dull. It was as though she had resigned herself to her fate, her soul already distant, leaving Ainsley struggling with his own emotions. Beneath the anger, there was a gnawing pain in his chest, one he couldn't fully understand or control.Adrian, unable to tolerate the torment that was escalating within Ainsley, began to fight for control. The battle for dominance inside Ainsley's mind intensified as Adrian pushed harder, desperate to protect his mate from Ainsley’s destructive path. Yet, Ainsley resisted, his own will overriding the turmoil within. His mind, overwhelmed by the jealousy and rage, could no longer comprehend the depth of his actions."Why don’t you fight back?!" Ainsley yelled, his voice raw with frustration. "Why?!" His

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Unknown Emotions.

    “I deserve this punishment,” Eloise said calmly.Her voice, low and unwavering, cut through the heavy silence that filled the room. It was not the voice of a woman pleading for mercy, but one who had surrendered herself entirely to her fate.Eric didn’t doubt her words. He had known Eloise since they were children, and even now, there was a bitter truth in her resignation that stung him deeper than he could have imagined. She had always been strong, confident, and unyielding, but now, she was nothing but a shadow of her former self.The night air was still, and the Litha Night Walker Pack’s lands stretched dark and endless around them. The Golden Moon Pack, a force to be reckoned with, bordered their territory. Eloise, as the daughter of the Alpha, had once been a woman with every reason to stand tall and proud. She had been a symbol of power, of grace.Eric remembered her from when they were younger, a fierce, untamed beauty. She had completed her transformation at fifteen, the wolf

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Ainsley Complicated Feelings.

    Ainsley stood in front of the couch, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular, yet his mind was consumed by thoughts of Eloise. Why does she always make me feel this way? His heart twisted with frustration. The very idea of her, trembling, submissive, and fearful, made his blood boil.Suddenly, the soft, almost imperceptible sound of footsteps reached his ears. Ainsley’s senses sharpened, instinctively recognizing her presence. His sharp wolf senses could pick up her scent; hear the quiet shift of her movements, even the slight hesitation in her steps.Eloise.He turned to face her, his heart thudding in his chest as he saw the hesitant look in her eyes. His anger flared, and he couldn't hide it. Why is she always so uncertain? He thought bitterly. Why does she never stand tall?"Stop right there. Where are you going?" Ainsley’s voice was harsh, filled with a command that left no room for disobedience.Eloise stood frozen, her eyes wide with caution. "I’m going to work, Alpha Williams,

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Calm Before the storm for Mavis!

    Rachael immediately sensed something in Elijah's words. After all, she had managed to secure a place in the Scarlet Heart Club for years, navigating the club’s inner workings with precision and caution. She could read people well, and Elijah’s tone was off, there was a tension in the air, a sense of urgency she couldn't ignore.Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she asked, “Wait. A dangerous job, you say?”What does he mean by a dangerous job? Rachael thought, feeling her gut tighten with unease. What’s going on that I don’t know?Rachael, always one to stay composed, couldn’t help but wonder. Eloise must have lost her mind. She hasn’t fully recovered yet, and she’s already back here, asking me for a job. How reckless is she?She steadied her voice and said seriously, “I’m not that ruthless, okay? She came back before she recovered, but I never gave her any work to do. Well, the only exception was that unknown guest a few days ago. But he didn’t give her a hard time.” Rachael’s eyes na

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    You're Fired Flora!

    Rachael walked briskly, her footsteps echoing as she moved quickly through the hallways of the Scarlet Heart Club. Her heels clicked against the marble tiles, a sound that resonated with authority and purpose. Her face was set in an expression of anger, her jaw clenched tightly as she navigated the club with determination. Each step was filled with purpose as her body language radiated a sense of urgency.Flora, you’ve really done it this time, Rachael thought to herself, her mind already racing ahead to the confrontation she was about to have. What were you thinking, sending Eloise to Oliver’s room?As she neared the Public Relations Department, Rachael's fury only grew. The staff, who were working quietly at their desks, immediately sensed her presence and grew still, their nervous glances following her every move. They had seen Rachael in many moods, but this one was different. The fear was palpable in the air, and the staff instinctively stepped aside as Rachael walked past them,

    Flora felt her heart race as she paced through the halls of the Scarlet Heart Club, panic clinging to her every step. The tense silence that had followed Rachael’s commanding voice only deepened her dread. Rachael had been furious, and now, as Flora rushed to find Eloise, she could already sense that something terrible was about to unfold.She had no time to consider the murmurs of her colleagues. The escort girls in the Public Relations Department lounge were whispering behind her back, but Flora didn’t care to listen.“What did Eloise do this time?” one of them whispered, their eyes flicking nervously between Flora and Rachael.“I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s bad,” another voice whispered back.Flora felt her pulse quicken, she pushed open the door to the public hall with a sharp motion, her shoes clicking sharply on the marble floor. She could feel the eyes of her colleagues on her, but they were of no concern. The only thing that mattered now was finding Eloise.When she s

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    The Desperate Plea

    Elijah's brow furrowed as he absorbed Rachael's words. His heart pounded in his chest, not from surprise, but from frustration. He didn’t agree with her, not one bit. Rachael had only recently joined the Litha Night Walker Pack, while Elijah had been steadfastly by Ainsley’s side for years, serving as his protector and confidant. There was a bond between them that ran deep, one Rachael could never understand.In Elijah’s mind, Alex’s sister, Aura, was the love of Ainsley’s life.“There are things you don’t know,” Elijah snapped, his voice edged with irritation. “Don’t speak of what you don’t understand.”Rachael’s lips curved into a subtle, knowing smile. She found Elijah’s conviction almost laughable. He thinks he knows it all. That he has everything figured out. How wrong is he?“Call her,” Elijah commanded abruptly, his finger pointing at the photo of Mavis on the desk, his voice stern.Rachael’s expression hardened as she stared at the photo, her distaste for Mavis seeping through

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Unveiling The Truth!.

    Thinking of Eloise, Ellison shook his head. I'm not that shameless. She's been pushed to the edge of survival, and now Alex still wants me to kill her. That poor woman? I'm not that terrible.At the other end of the line, Alex continued cursing Eloise.Hearing Alex's vicious words, irritation surged through Ellison. He raised a hand, ran his fingers through his hair, and snapped impatiently, “Enough.”His voice turned cold as he roared, “Beta Alex, I’ll say it again. If you want to kill someone, do it yourself. I will not stop you or help you.”Beta Alex got one thing right. If Eloise were to die, it would be good for me, too. The truth from three years ago will never come to light.“Ellison, you have to help me. Or I’ll tell Alpha Ainsley what you did three years ago.” Alex’s voice trembled with nervousness.Ellison let out a low chuckle. “Beta Alex, then you knew Eloise was innocent.”A heavy silence followed. Alex's grip on the phone tightened as realization struck.From the moment

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    She's just A Pawn in Their Evil Game.

    Ainsley’s body tensed as the warmth in his arms shifted.Something was off!.His eyes snapped open, and in the dim glow of the room, he caught sight of Eloise, her legs dangling off the side of the bed, her slender frame slipping from his grasp.His breath hitched.Before she could touch the floor, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, yanking her back with force. Eloise let out a sharp gasp as she was pulled against his chest. Without hesitation, he repositioned her, forcing her down onto his lap."You really have no sense of fear, do you?" Ainsley’s voice was low, edged with warning.Eloise struggled, twisting in his grip. “Let me go!”Ainsley’s jaw tightened. Without another word, his palm landed on her backside with a sharp smack.Eloise froze. A second later, she realized what had just happened."Stop! Stop it!" she cried, her breath shaky.Ainsley exhaled slowly, his control razor-thin as he dragged his hand over the curve of her ass, his fingers teasing the heated skin.“Do you

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Is Ainsley's Love Enough?

    In the middle of the night, only the sound of steady breathing filled the room.Eloise clamped her trembling hand over her mouth, trying to stifle the sound of her own horror. Her heartbeat pounded so violently that she thought Ainsley would wake up just from the force of it.What the hell was I thinking?She felt sick. The warmth of his skin still lingered on her fingers, the pulse of his life steady beneath her grip only moments ago.Her breath came in shallow gasps as she struggled to process what she had almost done. Mica/Rain… was that what you would have wanted? Would you have wanted me to kill him?Her entire body tensed as a cold shiver ran down her spine. Slowly, as if afraid she might startle a beast in slumber, she withdrew her hand from Ainsley’s neck. The air felt heavy, suffocating, as she stared at his face was peaceful and unguarded.He looks so different when he’s asleep… almost human.Tears burned at the edges of her eyes. She hated him, loathed him & despised him. B

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Love, Lust.

    Ainsley felt physically satisfied. At that moment, they both reached a climax at the same time.As they panted, experiencing the pleasure of their bodies, their hearts broke."Ainsley, I hate you," Eloise said hoarsely.Ainsley's fingers trembled, but he still managed to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead.There was something inexplicable hidden behind his deep eyes, something that confused Eloise. However, the moment she looked into them, the familiar pain resurfaced from her numb heart, piercing her with sharp clarity.Three years ago, just a single glance from him could make her heart race. She had naively believed he was the mate chosen for her by the Moon Goddess, that their love was destined. She never imagined he would be the one to bring her such endless pain.Ainsley ran a hand over her forehead, wiping away the sweat."Don’t touch me," Eloise snapped, pushing his hand away. She glared at him coldly, even as he hovered over her. "Alpha Williams, I hate you. And I will

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Love, Hate!

    Ainsley stared in disbelief at Eloise, who at that moment was so lovely, yet so strange to him. His eyes were full of pity.Eloise gritted her teeth. She was a sensitive and delicate person, able to sense the emotions in Ainsley’s eyes. However, she couldn't believe that she was the reason for such changes.After all, it was Ainsley who had pushed her step by step into the miserable state she was in today. He was the main culprit in everything.“Alpha Williams.” She approached him again, her movements slow, deliberate, each step a silent promise of something forbidden. She wrapped her arms seductively around his neck. At this point, she was half-kneeling on the bed, her hands tangled behind his neck, her head slightly bowed, her lips barely inches from his skin.“You are my sugar daddy. I still owe you a lot of money, Alpha Williams, you are just lying down on my bed like this… isn’t that a sign that you want me?” she murmured, her voice dropping into a husky whisper.She tried to ign

    At that moment, the sound of the hairdryer still buzzed in Eloise’s ears. It was a dull, mechanical hum, one that had accompanied her every night, just like the heavy weight in her chest.Like always, she sat on the edge of the bed, her damp hair clinging to her skin. She lowered her gaze, staring at the delicate fabric of her nightgown. The new nightgown… Ainsley bought for her.Behind her, he held the hairdryer, its warmth brushing against her scalp. The fabric in her lap was soft, expensive & exquisitely made.But why does he think I like pink?A bitter smile tugged at her lips.It’s funny how I don’t even have the right to choose what I wear, let alone the color I prefer.The warm air ghosted over her shoulders, but it did nothing to chase away the chill beneath her skin. The hum of the hairdryer filled the silence between them, stretching, suffocating.Her fingers clenched around the silky fabric.Then suddenly, a silent, lifeless smile appeared on her lips. Tears glistened in he

    With a heavy heart, Alex walked silently over to the sleeping woman and stood by the bench, his resentful eyes fixed on Eloise’s face.After staring at her for a long time, he finally spoke. “Wake up.”Eloise stirred at the sound, pulled from the depths of her sleep.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Alex standing beside her. Instantly, her drowsiness vanished.She opened her mouth but hesitated. What could she even say to Aura’s brother?Apologize? But why should she? She was the one who had been deceived. Why should she bear the weight of someone else’s sins?Slowly, Eloise lowered her head and remained silent.Alex’s sharp gaze bore into her. He had waited three years for this moment, for whatever excuse she might give him.“Miss Anthony, don’t you have anything to tell me?”Eloise parted her lips, but no words came out.She could easily offer a meaningless “I’m sorry” to anyone, to ease their anger, to lessen her burden. But Alex… Alex was different. He was Aura’s brother. A

    The car drove toward the Iron Gate, and the Alpha’s villa of the Litha Night Walker Pack stood as organized and pristine as Eloise remembered it.She couldn’t help but glance over her shoulder. Through the back window, she watched the black Iron Gate slowly close behind her.From today on, I'm just a caged bird.She closed her eyes, forcing back the tears that threatened to spill. When she opened them again, she was obedient Eloise once more.Ainsley caught every flicker of emotion on her face, and for a fleeting moment, guilt flashed through his eyes.I'm sorry, Eloise, but I just don't know how to keep you around. I want you to love me like you did three years ago.“Our mate is suffering. Why can’t you make her happy?” Adrian's voice thundered in Ainsley’s mind.Ainsley clenched his jaw. Because I love her. I'll never let her go.His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles whitening. He felt himself slipping; drowning in an obsession he could no longer control.“Alpha Ain

    Their lips fused together. Eloise couldn't move her jaw at all, so she could only let saliva drip from the corner of her mouth.This wasn’t a kiss. It was punishment.Torture.Eloise shut her eyes, forcing herself not to shed a single tear. She had long since realized her pain meant nothing to the man in front of her. Or rather, the beast in front of her.Inside Ainsley, Adrian stirred.She’s trembling! She’s afraid of us.Ainsley could feel his wolf’s anguish twist through his mind like a blade. Adrian ached for Eloise in a way that Ainsley didn’t fully understand.Why does she always flinch away? Adrian’s voice was pained. Why does she fear me when all I want is to protect her?Ainsley’s grip on Eloise tightened. His lips pressed against hers, not just with punishment, but desperation, possession, obsession.Eloise, don’t do this. Don’t make us villains.Adrian’s pain merged with Ainsley’s fury. He had gone mad the moment he found out that she had gotten a new driver’s license. She
