My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit On The Journey to Find Talia (3) Alpha In Disguise
Bran's POV The past few days have taught me this the hard way with bruises, humiliation, and the trauma of nearly being assassinated by a goat. But if I want to find Talia, I need to stop drawing attention to myself. Walking into rogue towns with an Alpha's posture, voice, and presence is about as subtle as waving a giant banner that says "Look at me, I am important. Please rob or stab me." So, for the sake of self-preservation, I decided to blend in. Since I'm in rogue territory, I will become one of them, and no one will suspect a thing. The problem with acting like a rogue is that disguising myself is even harder than expected. I start by slouching. Fabian watches in as I attempt to walk with a careless, roguish air, only to look like I have a severe spinal injury. "Stop that for the love of the Moon," he groans. "You look like you need a chiropractor." I loosen up my shoulders and try to shuffle along instead of striding with my usual confidence. It just doesn't sit right.

Bran's POV I've hit the lowest point possible. Not only did I get beat up and tricked, but I also got humiliated in front of people. Now I'm one boot short and asking for help from a half-blind, lonely fortune-teller who might not even be able to help. I just hope I'm still sane, cause this whole situation of mine sucks. This is what my life has come to, but it's just fine anyway, so far it leads me to a reasonable point. And that's when I finally found my mate. Fabian doesn't fail to constantly remind me of my pain as he gives a dramatic sigh. "You do realize how ridiculous this is, right?" "Yes, Fabian," I mutter. "I am painfully aware." The old rogue town is a crumbling mess of wooden shacks and dusty streets, the kind of place where people either drink themselves into oblivion or disappear entirely. And somewhere in this pit of despair, there's a woman who, according to rumor, can see the future. Or, at the very least, point me in the right direction. I find her at the edg

Bran's POV I can feel it now that I'm close. The air has changed now thicker, charged with something unseen. I know I'm nearing Misfit Town, the place where outcasts build new lives. Where Talia might be. The thought makes my chest tighten because I don't know what I'm expecting. Would she be happy to see me? Would she be furious or would she even care? "Oh, she's going to care," Fabian murmurs. "And it's not going to be the way you're hoping." "You're not helping." I sigh. "I wasn't trying to." Fabian replies sarcastically. The truth is, I don't deserve to expect anything because I rejected her. I made her feel worthless, and now here I am, chasing after the one person I threw away like she meant nothing. I have no right to ask for forgiveness. But that doesn't mean I won't try. I take another step forward and that's when something I don't expect happens. I hear a sharp whistle in the air and then the snap of a tree branch. Seconds after I hear movements like someone has th

Bran's POVWhat I see when Talia enters the clearing totally catches me off guard.The last time I saw her, she was vulnerable. She is the weak girl the whole Pack mocks, throws abuse at her for her eating, and calls her fat, weak, wolfless and all sorts of names. That Talia I once knew is nowhere to be found. The girl I rejected without a second thought.This person right here before me? Is not that Talia.She stands proud, exuding a vibe that's not just about confidence but also authority. Her gentle features now have an edge, and her eyes are icier than I ever imagined. She wears black ceremonial armor with silver details, and you can see the Alpha symbol etched on her shoulder.She's living life to the fullest, not just existing.She's doing great.She gives me that look like I don't matter at all.I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. Fabian, my wolf, is moving a bit but stays super quiet. He's also a bit on edge."She doesn't even flinch," Fabian murmurs. "She doesn

Talia's POVBran is here.The thought lingers in my mind long after I leave him standing in the clearing. Alpha Bran of Starlight. The man who rejected me. The man who made me feel like nothing. The man who says I'm oversized and wolfless. Are my eyes deceiving me?And now, here he is, in my town looking for me. For what exactly?A part of me, let me say the part that remembers the humiliation and the pain he caused me-wants to relish this moment. Wants to make him suffer just as I did.But the other part of me doesn't care one bit. Because I have moved on and thank Goddess for where I am now.I have responsibilities, people who rely on me, a pack that sees me as something more than just a mistake.I sit at my desk, rolling a small dagger between my fingers, lost in thought. The moonlight filters through my window, casting silver streaks across the wooden floor.There was a time when I would have dreamed of this moment-Bran returning, regret in his eyes, realizing his mistake.But now

Bran's POVI thought I'd experienced pain before. I thought my growing days before I became an Alpha were the worst. I never knew getting rejected by my mate, losing the respect of my pack and getting beaten up by rogues on my way here could be as painful as this.But nothing compares to the suffering I endure in Misfit Town. Talia was ignoring me before and I feel bad about it, but now she isn't anymore, now she's paying attention in a much worse way.I've been here for a week now, and the Misfits still treat me like an intruder.Some glare at me like I don't belong (fair), others snicker behind my back (also fair), and the rest pretend I don't exist (which honestly stings a little) but I try to be useful still.I offer to help with patrols but my offer is denied, I suggest training sessions but also ignored. I attempt to spar with a warrior and get beaten within seconds. This is all Talia's doing and that's how she pays attention to me.Fabian is loving this."You deserve this," he

Bran's POV I should have seen this coming. I knew Talia wouldn't make my time here easy. But this? This is war. I never knew Talia was capable of doing this, but as Fabian mentioned, I deserve everything she's doing. Talia has never been the serious type, but these pranks of hers are expensive. I'm beginning to feel Talia has superpowers. But the question is how and where did she get it from. My rejection has really changed Talia. I don't know a lot about her again or let me say I never did because I was never really close to her.Today, I wake up feeling... off.There's a strange heaviness in my limbs, a weird stickiness clinging to my skin. My fingers barely move as I push myself up from the bed. I received Williams's call late into the night yesterday, checking up on things in the Pack and filling him in on some things I'm experiencing here.Williams is of the opinion that I endure whatever Talia throws and make sure I win her back in the end. His words still lingers in my mind w

Bran's POVI am losing my mind because It's been days of this madness and I don't know how much more I can take.I try, again, to speak to Talia.I need to talk to her. But every single time, something-or someone-interrupts. I'm starting to think I'm cursed and this is beyond what I think it to be.It begins innocently enough.I'm walking toward the training grounds where she's overseeing a match. I get within ten feet of her. That's when I hear a voice.A deep, ominous whisper, floating through the air."Turn back now, Bran... before she hexes you."I freeze because my body goes stiff.What the hell. I scan the area, but no one's nearby. Talia is talking to Lyric, completely unaware of my presence there. Or I should say she looks unaware."She knows you're here, Bran..."I whirl around. "Who said that?!" I don't see anyone and that voice isn't Fabian's. I take a slow breath. You're imagining things. I say to myself. But when I take the second step after that, "Bran..." The whisper is

POV: The New Seer of the Dark Council (Council of the East)I see her.Even before the stars split.Even before the Moon Goddess lays her hand on her heart.I see the girl awakening.Not with my eyes or with the cursed black things that smoulder in my head and glow when they shouldn't. But deeper. The way roots see water underground. The way wolves hear a storm coming before the first drop falls.Talia.Her name echoes inside me like it's written behind my teeth.She stands in that dream-space, her spirit wide open, and I'm there-barely, briefly. A shadow just outside the light.I wasn't supposed to see her that clearly.But I did.And now I can't unsee her.Her light. Her fear. Her power.The Moonstone has chosen her, and the trials have begun.I sit motionless in the far end of the council chamber, body still as bone, even as the fire in the center crackles and spits dark orange sparks.I don't speak until I must.Until I feel them watching me. The Council of the East-seven old clo
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit The Trials of the Keeper
POV: TaliaTalia's body is still in Misfit Town.She lies motionless in her bunk, one hand still faintly glowing with the pulse of the stone. Bran is the first to find her. He had followed the ripple of magic that burst through the trees when she touched the stone. Now, he kneels beside her, his face pale with fear, trying not to panic.But this isn't about her body. It's about where her spirit has gone.Talia opens her eyes to skyless light. She's no longer in the woods or her room or anything that feels familiar. Everything around her is soft and glowing, like the space between stars had taken shape.This place isn't real in the way real places are. It feels more like memory and meaning stitched together. There's no ground, but she doesn't fall. No air, but she can breathe.In front of her, a tall stone arch rises out of nothing. Symbols glow along its edges-the same ones that had appeared on her arms. The same rhythm and same pull.A voice echoes across the space.Talia, Keeper of
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit The Return of the Stone!!
Aunt MerleComing back to Misfit Town without being seen was never simple. But this time, it was more than just secrecy-I couldn't let anyone see me carrying the stone. Only the one meant to carry its power should lay eyes on me right now.That's why I used the bone ash spell. Just enough to hide myself from the senses of others. The magic made sound slip away from me and light bent around me. It wasn't perfect. But it was enough.I moved quietly past the outer trees of the town just before sunrise, the stone wrapped tightly in moon cloth and held close to my chest. It wasn't heavy, not in the usual way, but it throbbed with heat and energy-like it had its heartbeat. It didn't feel human. It didn't feel alive. But it was something old. Ancient.With each step closer to the heart of the town, the air changed. It started to hum softly. Like the ground and the trees could sense what I was bringing. Like the town itself was deciding if I should be allowed in.The streets and homes hadn't
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit The Stone Keeper's Awakening II
POV: TaliaI got up before dawn because something stirred me awake. Dead silence. I don't feel anything at all. It's only a switch. It felt like the air just ditched the world I was familiar with.I sat upright in bed, my breath hanging somewhere between snoozing and shouting. My room still sat in darkness, with the curtains hardly moving. My arms were on fire.I rolled up my shirt sleeves and took a look.Marks. Faint and glowing. It feels like starlight veins running from my wrists to the bend of my elbows. They beat along with my heart-actually, not my heart. Something that goes deeper. Something older.The stone. I haven't laid a finger on it or even seen it, but I can feel its pull. It's like a tune I haven't listened to, but it feels familiar. It's transforming me. I'm not sure how long this will last. Or who I'll turn into by the time it's over.I run my fingers over the glowing trails. They're cozy. Full of life. Not painful. Not yet."Bran?" I whisper, even though I know he's
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit The Guardian's Trial
Aunt Merle's POVIt moved the moment I did.Like it had been waiting for me.The corrupted guardian stepped forward, limbs wrong in all the ways that make your bones ache just looking. It's fur peeling like bark in the sun, muscles twitching under pale, half-dead skin. Its eyes glowed green-brighter now-flickering like candlelight trapped in rot.I didn't move at first. I let my breath settle. Let my pulse slow. Fear is a clever liar. It whispers things like you can't, you're too old, you failed once and you'll do it again.But I'm not here to win. I'm here to protect what needs to be protected.I reach into my bag, my fingers finding the vial of ashroot tincture. My sister made this once, back when she still believed we could hold the line against everything coming for us. I never liked the way it smelled-burnt leaves and regret-but it helps in moments like this. I dab a bit under my nose. It clears the air and sharpens me."Let's get this over with," I whisper, more to myself than t
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit Awakening of the Stone Keeper I
Talia's POV Strange things are beginning to happen to me after our search for the cookbook in the archives. The first time it happens, I'm brushing dirt off a silver spoon half-buried beneath a pine root, and the second I touch it, the world turns upside down.Not like in the dramatic way people say, but like gravity forgets her job. My knees give, my vision fuzzes, and a weightless heat rushes behind my eyes, burning. A voice I don't recognize, and not mine-whispers something sharp and slanted. The spoon clatters to the ground."Hey!" Bran's voice cuts through the dizziness. "Talia-hey, look at me. Stay with me."I blink. His face is so close, framed by leaves and worry lines. His hands hover just inches from my shoulders, unsure whether to touch me or watch.I grab his sleeve. Just to make sure I'm here. Now. Not wherever that flash dragged me."I'm fine," I say, but it sounds like a lie even to me. My voice is raspy, too breathy."Liar. That's your lying face. Also your 'don't tel
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit Road to the Hidden Cave
Aunt Merle's POVThis night is way colder than I anticipated.Canada may be known for its brutal winds and icy cold, but there's something uniquely cold about the forests near Misfit town. It murmurs hidden truths. The old ones. Some that remember me, and some I'd rather forget.I stomp through the frozen ground, my boots crunching as I head down the winding trail into the thick woods, my satchel bouncing at my side with each brave step I take. In my bag, I've got some sage, nightroot, a couple of white candles blessed during a blood moon, and a solar power bank that I almost forgot until I felt like I should take it with me.I recognize this path. Even after so many years. Even after grief tried to bury it under layers of avoidance. There was a time when my sister and I carved our initials into one of these trees, laughing like we were still children, despite being mothers by then. My fingers brush against the bark of that same tree as I pass. It no longer laughs. Me neither.This jo
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit The Past
Talia's POVAs we near the exit, an unseen force pulls at my chest. I gasp. I can't move my feet.Then-a pull.Not physical, not something I can fight. It goes deeper, touching my core. An air ripple, a time shift.Flames from the candle sway unpredictably, as if stirred by an unseen wind. The edges of the room fade away. My vision tunnels. My heartbeat slows, and then-Darkness.Then, light appeared.A vision.I'm out of the archives now.I stand in a moonlit clearing, surrounded by the smell of wet earth and pine. The trees whisper familiar voices, pulling me toward the sound.A figure kneels in the clearing, shaking with silent sobs. She is young, with a dirty and tear-streaked face, and her long dark hair is tangled in leaves.She looks at me with luminous, regretful eyes."Forgive me," she whispers, her voice breaking. "I never wanted this."A group of shadowy figures appears from the trees before I can move. They wear black, yet I sense their overwhelming power bearing down on m
My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit Whispers of the Past
Talia's POVThe air in the palace feels oppressive as if my aunt's words are pushing against me. I run my fingers along the wooden table in my study, my mind racing to find answers amid Aunt's revelations.The book was bound to me.My blood is needed to unleash its magic. Does that explain the figures I have been seeing lurking in the shadows? Are they out on a mission to take me?Thoughts swirl within me, weaving through unclear memories. My grandmother sacrificed herself for it, and now someone is ready to spill my blood for its power. This is just too much of a problem than I can imagine.Bran rests on his desk's edge, observing me intently. He crosses his arms, candlelight creating shadows on his face. Since my aunt's words, he remains quiet, yet I feel his discomfort swirling around us."What are you thinking?" He asks, at last, his tone calm.I slowly exhale, placing my hand on my forehead. "That I don't know nearly enough."His eyes show an unclear emotion. "Then let's change t
