REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIAย ย ย Who is Mindy?
Kiara:In a moment, Zane and I both reach the peak of our pleasure. He pulls me up from his body, and I watch his release, his face clad in ecstasy. I take off his shirt, then I help him wipe off the mess from his body. He pulls up his pants, and I sit back on himโthis time with my legs to the side. He leans in and takes my lips in his, and we remain with our lips on each otherโs for a while.His phone rings, breaking the kiss. I help him take it out of his pocket, hoping it will be whoever has been disturbing him, but then I see itโs Rufus.โRufus must have arrived,โ I say to him, showing him the screen of his phone.By now, the rain has reduced, so we get to our feet, making it out of the pavilion. We walk down the clear path that one can only access on foot. Shortly, we make it out to the car park, where we see Rufus waiting in the car.Zane grabs my hand, speeding up our movement. When we get to the car, he opens the door for me. He gets in after me and shuts the door, then Rufus

Zane:I know Kiara is sad about me leaving tomorrow, but there is almost nothing I can do. All I owe her at this point is sorting out things with my father and finding a way to expand the business to other parts of the world, especially Efla. It is not surprising Kiara likes the town; it is serene, except that it has Mindy, but I do not care about that. If I knew she would come back to this town, then I might not have considered it, but I am here already, and Kiara loves the town. When I properly expand, Mindy cannot get into any of my properties, and she will not bother Kiara or me.I pull up to the spot where I am to meet with Theo, a real estate agent. Then I take out my phone to call him.โI am here, and...โโUp ahead, Mr. Malibu,โ he says, then I raise my head, looking forward to see someone on a bike pedaling toward me. I shut off the call, then I wait for him to get to me.He gets down from his bike and parks it, then he walks up to me. I roll my window down, and he puts out hi

Zane:โThat is what I am telling the young lad. I enjoy seeing young people in love because it reminds me of the good old days. The adrenaline mixed with fear when you are about to make the move that will change your entire life.โFor some reason, they think their words are encouraging, but they are only making me scared, and I am trying hard to push away the thoughts that are questioning why I am trying to buy a ring for Kiara. As they keep taunting me, I look down at the finely polished marble floor beneath. I try to hold down my feelings as I remember Kiaraโs voice asking me to be more gentle with people.โLook around, young lad; pick something nice for your lady,โ Jerome says, and I force a smile, looking around the store, which has cases lined with plush, dark velvet, showcasing a carefully curated collection of sparkling jewels. Ranging from diamond rings, necklaces, and bracelets that sit perfectly on the ring cushion.I walk around, staring at the rings, but none catches my at

Zane:I turn around to see Mindy standing behind me. She still looks the same as the last time I saw her five years ago, but her hair is short, and she dyed it brown to match her eyes. My mouth falls ajar for a split second, and I quickly clear my throat, adjusting myself on the seat.โZane!โ she exclaims, opening her arms as her brown eyes gleam with the widest grin hanging on her face.Ignoring her invite for a hug, I put out a hand, taking hers in mine, and initiating a handshake, which is short. Her smile remains while my expression hardens.She takes a seat beside me, and I face my glass of martini, waiting for her to speak.โSince I heard you were in town, I have been trying to reach you. Iโve been coming to this restaurant, hoping to run into you, and thank goodness, I did.โ When she says this, I sip from my glass.โI am aware, because my phone keeps buzzing.โ Her expression tightens, but I do not care. This woman made my life hell, and she fueled my spirit of revenge so much t

Kiara:After about thirty minutes to an hour, Iโm dressed and ready for dinner. Zane walks into the room with a smile on his face, making his way over to me. He pauses, clasping his hands together as his gaze sweeps over me, warm and lingering.โIโve never seen anyone or anything more beautiful than you,โ he murmurs,causing my face to flush a little before he leans in and kisses my cheek.He glances back at the couch where the bouquet lies. โYou donโt like your flowers?โ he asks, his eyes searching mine.I hold his gaze. I love the flowersโbut I canโt shake the thought that the man who gave them to me is hiding too many secrets. If he isnโt being real with me, then how am I supposed to enjoy even the little things?โIโm famished, and Iโll spend time with the flowers when we get back,โ I say, forcing a smile onto my face. โShall we go?โHe nods, taking my hand and leading me outside. Rufus stands by Zaneโs car, and from where I stand, I glare at him. He quickly looks away. I donโt enjo

Kiara:โKiara, please,โ Zane says in a low voice as I walk away, then I pause, walking back to him.โI am done with your explanations, Zane! You say you want me, then spend an entire day with your ex, who is supposedly bad for you. I am no fool, Zane, and if you want to be with Mindy, then go be with her!โ My breath comes out in gasps as I speak. โMin! Her name is fucking Min on your phone, for fuckโs sake, Zane.โI turn around at once and make my way to the car. At that moment, Rufus gets out of the car with a random man who I do not care about.โTake me home, Rufus!โ I yell, yanking the back door open, but Rufus stands there.I sigh, then slam the door shut, walking away from the parking lot and towards the street.โDonโt just stand there! Fucking get her!โ Zaneโs voice shoots through the cool night air.I try to run, but my sandals arenโt very fit for it, and before I can take a good number of steps, Rufus firmly grips my wrists.โLet me go!โ I yell as I watch Zane speaking to the

Youโve mentioned me letting you go for a long time, and I know I donโt want to let you go, but Iโve realized that keeping you wonโt do me any good either.โโZane,โ I say, as the enormous lump in my throat threatens to suffocate me.โI love you so much, Kiara, but forcing you to love me is stupid. Sorry I realized it late, and I am begging you to forgive me.โ He reaches for the box on the counter, which I didnโt bother paying attention to in the first place.He opens it, and I see the most beautiful ring ever, which makes it even harder to keep in

Although itโs my decision for us to stay apart, my mind is weak, and I want nothing more than to stay with her, but I know itโs for the best.When Iโm tired of tossing about on the bed, I open my eyes and reach for my phone on the nightstand to check the time.โSix,โ I mutter, then I lazily drop my phone back, pressing my head onto the bed.I try to fall asleep again, but after ten minutes, I sit up, glancing between Kiaraโs peaceful figure on the bed and her untouched flowers. As I stare at her, I want to run my hands over her smooth skin, but I donโt want to disturb her.โSomeday we will be happy,โ I say in a low tone, then let out a sigh, grabbing my phone.I open my contacts and go to Mindy. Without giving it a second thought, I block her number, then delete it. I know I should have done it a long time ago.โZane?โ Kiaraโs voice is low, and I turn to face her.โYouโre up.โ She watches me without saying a word, then I reach for her ha

Zane:Itโs been five months since the passing of my father. It hasnโt been easy coping without him, and it made me realize that you never really grow up, and you will always need your parents, regardless. But thank God I found Kiara. I have never been more grateful for the day we met. She has been nothing short of supportive.Nothing beats having the sexiest and smartest woman you know as your support system. Given all the events of the past, we both enrolled in therapy to work through the trauma weโve experienced. We made the vow that our children would never know what this feels like.โYouโre still working?โ I hear Kiara say, and I lift my head to see her standing by the door of the study.I sigh, and she walks into the room. Pushing my seat back from the table, I make space for her to sit on my lap, and then she throws her arms around my neck.โIf you keep working like this, then we will never have time for each other,โ she says as she cups my cheek. โI know building from scratch i

Kiara:The past few days have been trying for everyone around us with the passing of Boris and Rufusโs injury. Rufus got better after a few days, but he is still at the hospital. Zane transferred him to a hospital in Efla.Today is Borisโs funeral, and Zane has been mute the entire day. We are back at Borisโs place with the entire family present.โYou are doing just fine,โ I say to Zane, who has been sitting for hours without a word. The thoughts of my pack members going into exile hurt, but I have learned to let go.I have lost once, and it is easier letting go instead of hurting yourself.โKiara,โ Zane calls out to me, and I place a hand on his shoulder.He tilts his head a bit, resting it in my hands. Then I caress his other cheek with my free hand. We remain like that until he lets out a forced gasp, straightening his head. His eyes are reddened, and it hurts.โThe ceremony is in half an hour, and you need to get yourself together, please.โ I sit close to him, sliding my hands to

Kiara:โRufus!โ Zane yells the moment Mindyโs bullet hits him.I crash to the ground at once, pulling Rufusโ head onto my lap. I rip a piece of my dress, applying pressure on the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. He has a smile on his face, but his eyes are slowly shutting.โRufus, stay with me,โ I say, tapping his face. โYou cannot die on me, not now, you idiot! Stop smiling!โ I yell at him.Without giving it a second thought, Zane rushes towards Mindy, digging his hand into her chest. Blood trickles down his hands, then he pulls out her heart, and I watch Mindy crash to the ground.โZane.โ His name is the last thing she mutters before she dies.My body feels weak, but I manage to hold on to Rufus as I keep tapping on him. Zane tosses Mindyโs heart away, and he walks up to us, then he takes off his shirt completely.Preparing a potion for Rufus wasnโt the best idea at the moment, because he was human, and he couldnโt wait that long. Plus, the entire mansion is in ruins, so the herb

THIRD PERSON POV:Zane storms through the gates of the Lunar Shadow Pack with Yusufโs werewolf warriors at his back. The early morning air fills with growls, gunfire, and the clash of weapons. The packโs warriors are caught off guard, scrambling to respond to the ruthless assault. Yusufโs mutants tear through the defenders like a storm. Everything is going according to Zaneโs plan, and they have taken the pack unaware.Zane moves like a shadowโswift and mercilessโcutting down anyone who dares to stand in his way. His wolf, desperate to reunite with its mate, takes sole control of Zane, feeding him with power he doesnโt even know he possesses.Blake stands in the midst of his warriors, overlooking the chaos.โHow did they breach the gates?โ he barks at his men, who are as confused as he is.โWe donโt know, Alpha!โ one guard shouts back, dodging as a mutant slashes through another warrior beside him. โThey came out of nowhere!โBlakeโs mind races as he calculates his options.

Kiara:Those words from Isabellaโs lips bring relief to my chest, but Iโm not quite satisfied. I want to see for myself if it is truly true. If Mindy is really dead.โYou do not look happy,โ Isabella says as she notices my face hasnโt lit up with a victory smile.โBecause Mindy is very cunning, and I have to see for myself.โ I yank my hands off hers. โWhere is she?โ I ask, moving forward until I get to the stairs to see the living area swarmed with servants.The murmur in the room starts to die off as they notice my presence, and soon, they slip away bit by bit. But then I spot James.โWhat is going on here, James?โ I call out to him from where I am standing on the landing of the stairs. He is about to answer when Blake walks into the room, and the moment he spots me, his countenance changes.โWhy is the queen in a nightdress?โ he questions, but I notice his gaze is on Isabella and not on me. โDo you not know how to do your duties anymore, or do you want me to demote you?โ His tone co

Kiara:Messing with a Luna is one thing, but messing with a Luna in her own pack is another. It isnโt just a regular misstep, and Mindyโs judgment is probably clouded by her desires to get Zane, forgetting that I can end her life before she even dreams of waking tomorrow. I donโt know what Zane is up to, but after successfully keeping him out, I know I can act as I please before he decides to wage war against me. Mindyโs audacity truly needs to be studied because her witch powers should be bright enough to warn her that Iโve been in and out of her motherโs lair.โPrepare some baskets and umbrellas,โ I say to Isabella, who stares at me in confusion. โWe have some fruits to pick.โ I wink at her, and she bows slightly, making her way out of my room.I walk to my closet to pick out an outfit and put on one of my best Luna dresses. By the time Iโm done dressing, Isabella is back with the baskets and an enormous umbrella.โLetโs go.โWe leave the room, making our way to the front yard, wher

KIARA:It is unbelievable that I have to wake up in this pack again. I want to claw at my skin and rip it open, but that would be to the fun of Mindy. As I lie in bed, I beg the Moon Goddess to allow us to cross paths. The amount of hate brewing in my heart feels strong enough to torch down an entire continent, and I plan to channel that energy into Mindy. The only good thing about being in this pack is that it makes me feel powerful again, and power can be either good or bad.โMaโam,โ I hear Isabellaโs voice from the hallway before she places a light knock on the door.Isabella has been my faithful servant, just like Ariana, so I am trying my best to be gentle with her since she hasnโt done anything wrong.โCome in,โ I say, and she opens the door, walking in. She shuts it and gives me a bow.โYou do not need to do that every time,โ I tell her. She stands straight as soon as I say this.โAlpha Blake asked me to help prepare you,โ she says, and my brow scrunches at her words.โPrepare

Kiara:The ride was bumpy, and sitting in the back of the car with Blake didnโt feel the same anymore. My heart is heavy and aching as memories of Zane flood in. I donโt know what the Moon Goddess plans to do, but I silently pray to her to make things right. Itโs hard to believe she made Zane and me cross paths just for things to go sour.โYouโve been awfully quiet,โ Blake says, sliding his hand onto my thigh, jolting me back to reality. All I feel from his touch is coldness.I reach for his hand, placing it on the space between us on the seat. Then I turn my face toward the window, taking in the scenery before us. Weโre currently at the location of the Elysian Whisper Hillโthe road where I ran into Zane when he pretended to be a delivery man. I shut my eyes, taking deep breaths, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. The thought of Blake and me never finding love scares me, but what scares me more is the impending war. I donโt want anyone to dieโnot now, never.โWeโre here, darling,โ

A lonely wolf boy who came into my fatherโs home to steal my birthright.โThose words hit me like a punch to my gut, but I keep my mind focused by thinking of Kiara. All I want is to rescue her and hold her in my arms once more. I should have listened and stayed back because maybe we would be at our new place now, where Mindy would never know. They say what doesnโt kill you makes you stronger, and I want to hold on to that. But I donโt know if this will be the thing that ends me.When I donโt react to his taunts, his face straightens, his eyes locking on mine.โI will give you half of the money.
