*Amelia*

"Yes, since you don't want him, I might as well have him. After all, I don't have a mate, and I don't know if I'm ever going to find mine. And have I told you that I have been crushing on him for a very long time?" She asked me, and immediately I widened my eyes in surprise.

"You have been crushing on my mate, and you are telling me that right to my face?" I asked her while staring at her like someone who has grown horns.

Even though I didn't want a mate, I still couldn't help but feel betrayed as I heard my best friend telling me right to my face that she had been crushing on my mate for a very long time.

"Yes, of course; after all, you were the one who said that you were going to reject him, or don't you want to reject him anymore?" She asked me with a furrowed brow, not minding how I was glaring at her.

Only if she knew how much I wanted to hit her for betraying me with such a statement and also how Tricksy, on the other hand, was growling angrily as she heard another she-

    "What the hell do you mean by Dave is nowhere to be found? Are you trying to tell me that Dave, who was with me some minutes ago, has just vanished into thin air with his belongings?" Alpha Mark growled angrily at the guard who he had sent to call Dave. The guard, on the other hand, not knowing what to say, only bent his head while avoiding Alpha Mark's gaze."Alpha Adrian, I still don't know what exactly is going on, and about my beta, please give me some minutes to mind-link with the guards watching over the borders of the Pack and know if they saw him leaving the Pack, because I have been trying to mind-link with him, but it's not going through," Alpha Mark said to Adrian, who was silently staring at him while wondering if he even knew in the first place that his daughter was having an affair with his beta despite being mated to him.After some minutes, Alpha Mark turned his gaze towards Adrian, his face contorted both in shock and anger."Alpha Adrian, I'm sorry to say this, but

    After Adrian's departure, Alpha Mark couldn't help but pace around as he wondered how he was going to rescue his daughter Mara and grandson Diego.Even though Mara had acted very foolishly by having an affair with Dave and also having a child with him despite being mated to Adrian, he still wanted to save her and the child; after all, she was his only daughter, and Diego, on the other hand, was his grandson, even though Dave was his father.But now the main problem is how he was going to manage to save them since Adrian had made it clear that pleading wasn't an option.Being an Alpha, he was already aware of the punishment reserved for anyone who goes against the Alpha, especially in the way Mara did. He knew very well that the punishment she would receive would either be life imprisonment or execution, and Diego, on the other hand, could be sent to an orphanage or turned into a slave since he was the child of a traitor, and he didn't want any of that for his daughter and grandson, bu

  • My Ex Mate's Stepbrother Is My Second Chance Mate    Chapter 1: Return of His Ex-Fated Mate

    *Amelia* Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I stormed into the dimly lit bar, my heart pounding with fury. The man I’d been married to for two years, Adrian, was sitting there with another woman, his lips pressed against hers as if the world outside didn’t exist. Tonight was supposed to be our anniversary—a celebration of our love—yet here he was, entangled with someone else. I’d doubted my friend when she called to tell me she’d seen Adrian with another woman. I’d trusted him. But now, standing in the bar’s smoky haze, there was no denying the truth. Without hesitation, I marched toward him, my voice trembling with anger. “Adrian, what is going on here?” He froze, his lips still hovering close to hers, and turned to face me. His expression shifted from shock to guilt in an instant. “Amelia, what are you doing here?” he stammered as he stood, but my gaze had already shifted to the woman. When I saw her face, my breath caught in my throat. It was Mara, Adrian’s ex-mate. Th

    *Amelia* "Adrian, you have to believe me, I..." My words faltered as Adrian stormed towards me, slapping me hard across the face. I stumbled, crashing to the ground, the sting of the blow still ringing in my ears. "How could you be this heartless and vicious?" His voice thundered with rage, dripping with anger and hatred as I sat there, tears streaming down my cheeks. This was the first time Adrian had raised his hand to me in our two years of marriage. And it was all because of Mara—his ex-mate. What hurt most was that he hadn’t even given me a chance to explain. Without hesitation, he slapped me and accused me. "You better pray nothing happens to her," he spat, his words like a cold knife to my heart. "If anything happens, you won’t like what I’ll do to you." He then turned his back on me, scooping Mara off the ground and leaving the room. As I sat there, the realization hit me like a punch to the gut. Adrian was still in love with Mara. No matter how much time had pass

    *Amelia* "You are joking, right?" Adrian asked me, his tone filled with disbelief, as I threatened to divorce him if he forced me to give my blood to Mara, his ex-mate, who had accused me of stabbing her. "As much as I'd like to say I'm joking, unfortunately, I am not. It's either her or me. The choice is yours," I said firmly. Adrian stared at me for what felt like an eternity, his eyes narrowing before his lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "You think I don't know what you're doing? You're trying to blackmail me with a divorce. Well, let me make it clear—it won’t work on me," he snapped, his tone cold and unyielding. "You stabbed someone. And no matter your position in this pack, you're supposed to face the consequences. But here I am, sparing you from punishment by asking you to give her your blood so she can survive. Yet, you’re still being stubborn. Do you think I can’t punish you?" Adrian's voice grew angrier. A sad smile tugged at my lips as I looked at him. "Adrian,

    *Five Years Later* **Amelia** The hum of New York City traffic filled the air as I drove along the bustling streets, heading to the university where I had spent the past five years pouring my heart into my studies. Today marked a monumental milestone—I was graduating as a medical doctor. It had taken relentless effort and commitment, but I had finally made it. After escaping the Moonstone Pack five years ago, I’d used my savings—hard-earned from my time as Luna—to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. This was a dream I’d once abandoned when Adrian chose me as his Luna, demanding my focus and sacrifice for the Pack. But none of it had mattered to him in the end. He cheated on me, discarded me for his ex-mate, and left me broken. Still, in that heartbreak, I found my freedom and reclaimed my dream. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as I navigated through the congested traffic, the weight of the day sinking in. This wasn’t just any graduation—it was a turni

    **Amelia** Despite my request for him to reject me, his face betrayed no sign of anger. Instead, his calm expression suggested this was exactly what he had hoped for. A pang of hurt shot through my chest as he agreed so readily, without hesitation. I stood there, waiting for him to utter the words I feared. But instead, he reached out and gently stroked my cheek. The instant his fingers touched my skin, I stiffened. *So this is how the mate bond works,* I thought, feeling the intense pull of his presence, his scent overwhelming me. "So you really want me to reject you?" His voice was teasing, and I felt the space between us close as he took a step closer, lowering his head toward my cheek as if he was about to kiss me. I should’ve stopped him. I should’ve pushed him away, but I couldn’t. My heart hammered in my chest, and my body betrayed me, standing still, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. "You really smile well, mate," he murmured, his face inches from mine. Then, hi

    **Amelia** Even though I had agreed to follow Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate back home because of the party he organized, deep down I knew I wasn't going to follow him; I had only accepted in order to get him off my back. After collecting my certificate, I bade goodbye to Becky, who was busy discussing with some of her friends and taking selfies with them, and with that, I started heading to the exit while praying deep down that I wouldn't encounter Dr. Alex Darlington again because all I wanted to do was to go home and get some rest and to also think about what I was going to do next, whether to stick with Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate, or whether to do to him the same thing I did with Adrian, which was escaping and going to somewhere very far where he would never find me. With these thoughts running through my mind, I walked out of the school and made my way to the parking lot, but immediately I got to the parking lot, I halted in my steps as I saw the last

    *Amelia* Getting back from Doctor Alex Darlington's house, all I wanted to do was to get some sleep due to how tired I was.After taking my bath, I lay down on my bed and was about to drift to sleep when I heard a loud knock on my door."Who the hell is that?" I groaned angrily as I stood up from the bed and walked to the door to check who it was.Opening the door, I saw the only person who I didn't want to see at the very moment standing in front of the door while grinning ear to ear."Bestie!!" She screamed as she rushed towards me and hugged me tightly, but unlike before, I didn't hug her back. It didn't take long before she noticed that something was wrong as she slowly stepped back to look at my face that was already contorted in a deep frown."Come on, Lia, don't tell me that you are still angry at me," she said to me as she saw how I was frowning."Of course, Erica, I'm still angry at you, or were you expecting me not to be angry at you after you failed to be present at my gra

    It was four pm in the human world; the party that Alex organized had just come to an end.After the departure of all his students, including Claudia, who was still all over him despite the event that took place during the party, he reclined to his room to take his bath.After taking his bath, he came out of the bathroom with his towel still tied around his waist and sat down on his bed, and with that he took his phone that was on top of the bed and started going through his contacts."Max, what do you think about our mate?" Alex asked him as he was still going through his phone."Well, she's beautiful and a little bit stubborn, which is something that I like, because with how stubborn she is, I could already tell that she's never going to allow you to treat her the same way you treat other ladies," Alex's wolf said to him through their mind link, and with that, Alex frowned immediately."Max, this is the exact reason why I hate asking your opinion about anything.

    "One of you isn't the biological parent of his Highness," the doctor explained to Adrian."What!!" Adrian and Mara exclaimed at the same time._________________________________"Doctor, what do you mean one of us isn’t Diego's biological parent? Are you trying to cause trouble between my mate and me?" Mara's voice rose in anger, her eyes flashing with fury. The doctor flinched under her glare."I’m sorry, your highness. That was never my intention," the doctor said, his voice low. "If you’d prefer, we can do a DNA test to clarify the situation; if not, it's impossible for a child to have a blood type different from that of his parents if both parents blood type is O negative ," the doctor explained to Mara, his tone calm and apologetic, but Mara was already beyond reason."No DNA test," Mara roared, turning to Adrian, who had remained silent up to that point. "Adrian, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you believe this?" Her voice trembled with a mix of panic and guilt.Adrian was qui

    It was an hour's ride from Crestwood Pack back to Moonstone Pack. Just as instructed, Jake had driven directly to the pack hospital immediately he got the pack.Getting to the hospital, some of the guards who had followed them to the ball immediately got down from their car and rushed towards Adrian's car and opened it so that Adrian and Mara could get down."Jake, take some of guards and go back to the palace, and check how things have been. We will be back very soon," Adrian said to Jake as he was about to get down from the car."Okay, your highness," Jake said to Adrian before he got down from the car with Mara, and with that, Jake took two of the guards and started heading back to the palace.Once Jake left, Adrian and Mara made their way into the hospital, accompanied by the two remaining guards.As they were making their way to the Pack doctor's office, he himself came out to meet them."Greetings, your highness and your majesty," the doctor greeted Adrian and Mara as he bowed h

    "What took you guys so long?" Adrian asked Mara as they came out accompanied by the guards."Nothing. By the way, what problem is there at the Pack? I hope it's not another rogue attack." Mara asked Adrian as she got into the car with him."No, it's something worse than that. Tony got into an accident as he went to bring Diego back from school," Adrian said to him."What!!!" Mara screamed in shock."Hope nothing happened to Diego?" Mara asked Adrian with a frightened tone."Well, according to the guard that informed me about it, both Diego and Tony got injured, but they have both been rushed to the Pack hospital," Adrian said to Mara, whose face had already contorted in panic."Have you called the Pack doctor to ask him how serious was the injury?" Mara asked Adrian with a panicked tone."No, I haven't called him yet," Adrian said to Mara."But why haven't you called him yet? And you don't even look disturbed. It's as if it's not even your son that got into an accident," Mara said to

    As the ball was going on, Mara excused herself as she wanted to make use of the bathroom.As she was heading to the bathroom, she felt someone take her hand from behind, and before she could react, she was pulled towards one of the men's bathrooms, and immediately the door closed behind."Dave, what the hell is wrong with you? What if someone had seen you...?" Mara tried screaming at Dave but everything she wanted to say got stuck in her throat as Dave claimed her lips in a passionate kiss.At first she was hesitant, but just in a twinkle of an eye she too got lost in the kiss, and from the view of things, it was as if she was even the one dominating in the makeout as both of them were busy kissing passionately like two lovers who had been far away from each other for a very long time.After what seemed like forever, they finally disengaged from the kiss as they tried to catch their breaths."And here I was thinking that you didn't miss me at all," Dave said to Mara while catching his
