Once Rejected, Twice Accepted Just this once, let go.
AmandaAs I relaxed within my private chambers, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, a faint noise from the balcony caught my attention. My heart skipped a beat, and I looked up, half expecting to see the wind rustling the curtains. Instead, I saw Marcus, his silhouette familiar and comforting. He had that uncanny ability to move with such grace, slipping in and out unnoticed, like a shadow. His presence was both thrilling and calming, a contradiction I had come to cherish deeply."Amanda," he whispered, his voice a soft caress in the stillness of the room. Before I could respond, he was already by my side, wrapping me in a tight embrace. The warmth of his body against mine was an immediate comfort, a reminder of the connection we shared. He kissed me gently, his lips brushing against my forehead, then my cheek, before finally finding my lips. Each kiss was like a promise, filled with unspoken words and deep affection."I’ve missed you," Marcus murmured, pulling back slightly to loo
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted No more hoping.
ZaneThe night was quiet, the kind of silence that feels almost tangible, wrapping around everything in a suffocating embrace. I lay there in the darkness, the rhythmic sound of my own breathing the only thing breaking the stillness. Sleep was elusive, as it often was these days. Ever since Amanda took Tiana, my mind had been a constant whirlpool of worry and anger. Tonight was no different, and as I tossed and turned, I felt the weight of my thoughts pressing down on me like a lead blanket.Just as I felt myself beginning to drift off, a sudden thought hit me like a bolt of lightning. My eyes snapped open, my heart pounding in my chest. It was a realization so sharp and clear, it cut through the fog of exhaustion that had clouded my mind for days. Amanda was never going to release Tiana willingly. The hatred she held for me ran too deep, the grudges too old and entrenched. There was only one way this was going to end. I had to rescue Tiana myself.I swung my legs over the side of the
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted What do you mean, taken?
Amanda I was rudely awakened by a loud banging on my door, which startled me from a dreamless sleep. The room was still dark, and my head was spinning as I tried to gather my thoughts. Who would dare to wake me at this hour? The banging continued, more insistent this time, accompanied by a frantic voice. "Amanda! Amanda, wake up! There's been an emergency!"Groggily, I pushed myself up and stumbled to the door, fumbling with the lock. As soon as I opened it, Marcus, one of my most trusted men, burst in, his face pale and eyes wide with panic. "Amanda, it's Tiana. She's gone. They've taken her."For a moment, I could hardly process his words. Tiana, gone? That was impossible. I had personally overseen her capture and detention. Every precaution had been taken to ensure she couldn't escape or be rescued. I glared at Marcus, feeling a surge of anger. "What do you mean, taken? How could this happen? We had her under maximum security."He shook his head, running a hand through his dish
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted She will pay.
ZaneAs we finally got back to my pack's territory, a wave of relief washed over me, but it was tempered by a fierce, simmering rage. The journey had been long and grueling, our mission perilous at every turn, but now, standing on familiar ground, I could feel the weight of it all lift slightly from my shoulders. The trees, the familiar scents, the sounds of the pack—these were my anchors. Yet, the sight I longed for most was just ahead. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding not from exertion but from anticipation.Tiana stood there, framed by the sunlight filtering through the forest canopy, her eyes scanning the group for me. When our gazes finally met, time seemed to stop. I ran to her, my legs moving faster than I thought possible. She looked worn, her once bright eyes now shadowed with the horrors she had endured, but she was alive. I pulled her into a fierce hug, feeling the trembling of her body against mine. The scent of her hair, the warmth of her skin—it was all I had dream
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted He won't stop here.
AmandaThe moment I heard the news, a chill ran down my spine. Zane had done it. He had rescued Tiana from my clutches, a feat that many deemed impossible. My initial reaction was disbelief. How could he have managed it? The fortress was impregnable, the guards loyal to a fault, and the security systems top-notch but he did it. Zane, with his relentless determination and unyielding love for his wife, had defied all odds.I could almost picture the scene: Tiana, pale and exhausted, yet with that spark of defiance in her eyes, clinging to Zane as he fought his way through my defenses. The mere thought of it made my blood boil. I had underestimated him, and now I was going to pay the price."Amanda, you need to see this," said David, my right-hand man, as he entered my study, his face pale with worry. He handed me a tablet showing the security footage of Zane’s daring rescue. The screen flickered, revealing grainy images of Zane, his movements swift and precise, cutting down anyone who s
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted We need to talk.
ZaneThe evening sun cast long shadows across our living room, its warm glow doing little to thaw the chill I felt in my heart. I sat on the worn leather couch, staring at the photo of Amanda and her family on my phone. The smile on her face, the joy in her eyes, made my stomach turn. I knew the time was approaching. We had planned this for so long, dissecting every detail of Amanda's life, identifying her weaknesses, her vulnerabilities. She had taken so much from us, and now, it was our turn to take everything from her.I looked up as Tiana walked into the room, her expression unreadable. She had always been the strong one, the one who could hold it together even when everything else was falling apart. Her dark eyes met mine, and I could see the resolve in them, the determination. She sat down beside me, her hand resting gently on my knee."Zane, we need to talk," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, bracing myself for what was coming. We had discussed so man
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted This is different.
Amanda As I stepped back into the pack house, the familiar scent of pine and earth filled my senses, grounding me in the reality of our territory. The day had been long, filled with more challenges than I cared to admit. Alpha Zane had been pushing our boundaries again, testing our patience and resolve. I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not even for a moment. I made my way to the study where I knew Alex, my Beta, was waiting. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow from the fireplace casting dancing shadows on the walls. Alex looked up as I entered, his face a mask of concern."Amanda," he began, rising from his chair. "We've got to address the situation with Alpha Zane. He's becoming more aggressive."I nodded, running a hand through my hair. "I know, Alex. We need a lasting solution, something that will secure our pack's safety without provoking an all-out war. What do you suggest?"He sighed, leaning against the edge of the desk. "I've been thinking about it non-stop. We coul
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted Do not be afraid.
Amanda I held my daughter close, feeling the steady rise and fall of her small chest against mine as I gently petted her hair. The room was dim, illuminated only by the soft glow of her nightlight casting gentle shadows on the walls. The rhythmic motion of my hand on her head was meant to soothe, to comfort, but my mind was restless, churning with unspoken fears and unanswered questions."How did you get lost today, sweetheart?" I asked softly, my voice barely a whisper in the quiet of the night. It was a question that had been gnawing at me ever since I found her, tear-streaked and trembling, at the edge of the woods that she knew so well. Those woods had been her playground, a place of adventure and imagination, yet today they had turned into a labyrinth that had swallowed her up and spat her out, terrified and confused.She didn't answer right away. Instead, she burrowed deeper into my embrace, her tiny fingers clutching at my shirt as if she feared I might disappear if she let g

Once Rejected, Twice Accepted The beginning of the end.
AmandaThe moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield. I stood at the edge of the clearing, my heart pounding in my chest. The air was thick with tension, and every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, to hide, to escape but I couldn't. This was it. The final showdown between me and Zane. There was no turning back now. I had to face him, to confront the man who had taken everything from me. I had to beat him once and for all.I clenched my fists, feeling the rough bark of the tree behind me digging into my back. I had to steady myself, to focus. The memory of Zane's betrayal burned in my mind, fueling my resolve. He had taken my family, my friends, and my home. He had left me with nothing but a burning desire for revenge. And now, it was time to make him pay."I know you're out there, Amanda," Zane's voice cut through the silence like a knife. I tensed, my eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of movement. "There's no point in hiding. Come out and face m
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted The end is near.
ZaneAs I faced Amanda, I couldn’t help but marvel at the fierce determination that burned in her eyes. She moved with an intensity that caught me off guard, each strike delivered with a force that spoke volumes about her resolve. I had underestimated her, and now, as I struggled to keep up with her relentless attacks, I realized just how formidable she truly was."Is this all you’ve got, Zane?" Amanda taunted, her voice a mix of anger and sorrow. "Did you really think you could get away with killing Tiana?"I blocked her punch, feeling the impact reverberate through my arm. "It wasn’t personal, Amanda. You know how this world works."Her eyes narrowed, and she swung her leg in a swift arc, aiming for my head. I barely ducked in time, the air whistling as her kick missed its mark by inches. "Not personal? She was my sister, you bastard! You took her from me!"I couldn’t deny the truth of her words. Tiana had been Amanda’s estranged sister, and my actions had set off a chain of events
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted We can not let him win.
AmandaThe air was thick with anticipation, the kind that made your skin prickle and your senses heighten to an almost unbearable degree. I could feel it deep within me, an unshakeable certainty that Zane, with all his malice and wickedness, was heading towards our pack. This wasn't just a gut feeling; it was as if every fiber of my being was screaming out in warning. The battle we had both started long ago was far from over, and I knew that he was coming to finish it. My breath hitched as I considered the implications. Zane was not just a formidable opponent; he was ruthless and relentless, qualities that made him even more dangerous."Get ready!" I barked, my voice carrying the urgency of the situation. The warriors of my pack, loyal and unwavering, moved with swift precision. They knew what was at stake. "We cannot let him win. Not this time." My heart pounded as I watched them prepare, each one a crucial part of the defense that stood between Zane and our survival.Beatrice, my
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted An intense pain.
Amanda As I lay on the cold, hard ground, my vision blurred and the sounds around me dulled, I fought to stay conscious. Each breath was a struggle, each inhale and exhale a battle against the pain that radiated from my stomach. It felt like I had been stabbed, a searing, sharp agony that consumed my entire being. My hand instinctively pressed against the wound, but I couldn't feel any blood, just an overwhelming emptiness. A hollow sensation that told me something, or someone, had been taken away from me."Beatrice," I gasped, my voice barely a whisper. The pain was so intense that it was hard to form words, but I knew I had to communicate what I was feeling. Beatrice was crouched beside me, her face a mask of concern and determination. Her hands moved swiftly, checking my injuries, trying to stabilize me."Amanda, hold on," Beatrice urged, her voice steady but laced with urgency. "You're going to be okay. Just stay with me.""No," I managed to croak out, shaking my head slightly.
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted The need for allies.
TianaI stood on the balcony, my fingers clutching the cold stone railing. The moon cast a pale glow over the kingdom, a kingdom that was going into chaos because of my husband's actions. Zane, the man I had once loved, the man I had pledged my life to, was now a tyrant, causing havoc and destruction wherever he went. I had watched in horror as his ambitions grew darker and more twisted, and now I knew I had to stop him before it was too late.“This wasn’t what I bargained for? Why did he suddenly turn this way? I muttered.I turned away from the balcony and paced back into the chamber, my mind racing. I couldn't believe how far Zane had fallen. When we married, he was charming and full of dreams even though it was one to make my sister suffer but those dreams had turned into nightmares for our people. He had declared war on Amanda and her pack, accusing them of treachery without a shred of evidence. I knew Amanda and I was certain she was innocent. Zane's vendetta against her was pe
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted Power comes with a price.
ZaneThe power coursing through me was intoxicating, a heady rush that made every nerve tingle with a sense of invincibility. I stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the world that now seemed so small, so manageable. It was hard to believe that not long ago, I was just another face in the crowd, another insignificant speck in the grand tapestry of existence. But now? Now I was a god, or at least something very close to it."Zane, you have to be careful," I murmured to myself, the wind carrying my voice away. I knew I was right. This power, this incredible, unearthly strength, it was a gift but it was also a curse if I didn't handle it correctly. No one could know the source of my abilities. If they did, they could find a way to strip them from me, to use them against me and I couldn't allow that. Not now, not ever."Zane," a voice called from behind, and I turned to see Riley approaching, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity. She was one of the few who had seen the
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted You will suffer for it.
BeatriceAs soon as Zane broke free from the binds we had put him in, I knew we were in for total chaos. I watched from a corner, my heart pounding in my chest, unable to tear my eyes away from the scene unfolding before me. It was surreal, like something out of a nightmare. Zane had turned into something unrecognizable—a monster. His muscles bulged, his eyes glowed with a malevolent light, and an aura of raw power radiated from him. We had underestimated him, and now we were paying the price.Amanda stood bravely before him, her stance strong and determined. I could see the tension in her body, the resolve in her eyes. "Zane, you don't have to do this," she pleaded, her voice steady despite the obvious danger. "We can help you. Whatever you're going through, we can find a way to fix it."But Zane only laughed, a sound that sent chills down my spine. "Help me? You think you can help me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "I don't need your help, Amanda. I don't need any
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted What do you want?!
Amanda Seeing Tiana within my pack after what we’ve promised ourselves was something I didn't expect. I mean, i expected to see her after the battle was over but now, seeing her now just told me that she and Zane might have had a plan to help him escape because i didn’t really see any reason why she was here. It just didn’t make sense.“What do you want?” I said, icily.There was tension in the area, that much I could tell. What I hated at that moment was not knowing the plan that she and Zane had. It made me mad because I knew that she didn’t just come here on her own volition, there was definitely something going on and I wanted nothing more than to know what it was. Tiana remained silent like i wasn’t talking to her which made me mad because it just meant that she didn’t regard me at all and she hadn’t put what was between us behind her.“For the last time Tiana, what do you want?” I asked again.I was slowly losing my patience and I knew that I would lose it if she didn’t tell me
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted Stop fooling yourself.
ZaneI didn’t know whether to call it luck or being blessed but if there was one thing i knew, it was that things somehow worked in my favor. It had only been a stroke of luck when Amanda was called away and by no other person but my wife. Now, alone in the dank, dark place she had put me in, I knew I needed to do everything possible to free myself or else, when she came back, I would find it much worse.The last thing i wanted to be was to be Amanda’s bait, i was far stronger and bigger than her and i had the advantage but still, i knew i shouldn’t forget that she was an Alpha, far more stronger than any other normal wolf and it would be a hard time fighting her off but i knew that i could do it especially since i was very determined.“That won’t be easy Zane, stop fooling yourself.” I sighed.Amanda had made sure that I was tied so tightly that I had no room for escape. If i didn’t know better, i would have said that she knew i would try to escape hence the reason for treating me th
