REJECTED: Hired to Breed FIND YOUR MATE
KILLIAN I turned off the car engine and got out of the car. My assistant, Colby stood beside the car with his hands clutched in front of him. I was dealing with a hangover and tossed him the car keys. "Tell them to postpone any meetings I have at the office. I need to rest today," I said to him while walking towards the front door. I was hungover from all the glasses of drinks I had the previous night from our drinking spree at the opening of my new club. All I needed was a cold shower and a long, long sleep and I was getting it for the whole of the day; work can wait. I removed my jacket and tossed it at him as well. "Er... Alpha..." Colby called following me. "Colby if it doesn't involve sexy women, don't tell me about it." "It's actually..." "No, no, I am not attending to anything today, my head needs to rest." "This is about..." "My signature on that document? I am sure it can wait till tomorrow." I put my hand on the

KARLA "Karla!" I turned to find Nate glaring at me. Hurrying over to the counter where he stood, I knew what was coming. Despite my shift being officially over, Nate still ordered me around like it was my birthright to work very hard. I had been speaking with a human customer at one of the tables where I went to serve, he was trying to strike up a conversation with me, offering compliments that made me blush. Apparently, this didn't sit well with Nate. "You dumbos," he barked, "Do you think this place is a motel?"I rolled my eyes inwardly but shook my head timidly. It was my second year post-high school, but my life hadn't seen any significant improvements. I had always been an easy target for mockery and bullying because I didn't wolf out when my peers were wolfing out. Now, at twenty, there was still no sign of my wolf emerging. At times, I questioned whether I was truly my parents' child. Beyond the DNA evidence, I bore a striking physical resemblance to my mom, but our persona
REJECTED: Hired to Breed I QUIT
KARLA "What's the matter with her, doctor?" I asked with a slight crease of my brow, my gaze fixed on the physician. Ana, sitting beside me, gently squeezed my hand, offering silent reassurance. The doctor held my gaze for a moment before speaking. "Is there a father or elder I can speak with?" she inquired. "I'm twenty, and I'm the only family she has," I replied, suppressing the urge to roll my eyes. Despite my age, I appeared thin and smaller, a consequence of the immense stress I had gone through while taking care of myself and my mom. The doctor let out a deep sigh. "I hope you can handle this news. We've discovered a significant presence of alcohol and drugs in your mother's system, and she needs rehabilitation to get clean. Unfortunately, she has also been diagnosed with type two diabetes, though it's in the early stages. We have no choice but to admit her, detoxify her system, and closely monitor her blood sugar levels." "What?" I blinked back tears that threatene
REJECTED: Hired to Breed YOU ARE HIRED
KILLIAN The shrill ring of the phone abruptly jerked me from my sleep, and I grunted, feeling an overwhelming lethargy enveloping every inch of my body. Despite my reluctance, I reached over the woman sprawled on my chest to retrieve the phone from the nightstand, squinting at the screen to discern Colby’s name. “Why the fuck are you calling me by this time?” I seethed, my irritation growing as I was rudely interrupted from much-needed rest following a night of relentless partying and sexual escapades with the two women now lying on either side of my body in my penthouse bedroom. “Alpha, it's noon and your mom is here,” Colby whispered urgently.I sat up, pushing the woman on my chest away. One of them tumbled onto the floor with a groan. “She’s where?” I asked, climbing out of the bed naked, as I made my way to the bathroom. “Is this how you manage the company, Killian?” My mother’s stern voice echoed through the phone. “Look at the time, and you’re not even in your office.”I si
REJECTED: Hired to Breed MATE
KILLIAN Thursday dawned, bringing with it a sense of reluctance that weighed heavily upon me. The thought of visiting my mother's house filled me with an inexplicable apprehension, yet curiosity gnawed at the edges of my mind, urging me to uncover the reason behind her summons. In an attempt to delay the inevitable, I dawdled, succumbing to the visit only because my curiosity outweighed my hesitation. Colby killed the car engine and courteously came around to open the door for me. Upon entering my mother's living room, a familiar yet unsettling scene greeted me. There she was, poised and composed, in the company of our family attorney, Mr. Wallace. The sight of him, always a sign of serious matters, sent a ripple of unease through me. My gaze then drifted to the large screen dominating the room, where Saxton's image loomed, his presence digitally imposed yet palpably intrusive. Confusion furrowed my brows. "What's he doing here?" I asked, directing my questioning gaze at my mother.
REJECTED: Hired to Breed SPREAD YOUR LEGS
KARLA "Focus, Karla, focus," I whispered to my reflection in the restroom mirror, my voice a soft echo against the cool, tiled walls of the restroom. But how could I possibly focus? I freaking just saw my mate tonight! He was there, gazing at me with... with an expression I dared not dwell upon at this moment. Was this what it felt like to discover your destined mate? My nameless wolf inside me was a whirlwind of excitement, her cries of 'mate, mate' resonating in my mind, scattering my focus like leaves in the wind. And his scent— that intoxicating blend of sweet cedar, so potent it eclipsed all others in the room, enveloping me in a surreal cloud. But the disappointment etched on his face threatened to break me. Could I fault him for that? Truth be told, this was far from the ideal place I had imagined encountering my mate. "Karla, are you alright in there?" Cole's impatient voice broke through my thoughts. I was far from alright; my trembling hands were evid
REJECTED: Hired to Breed SPREAD YOUR LEGS 2
KARLA I couldn't quite grasp the overwhelming sensation that washed over me at that very moment. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. A strange, tingling feeling coursed through me, igniting an ache between my thighs at the mere thought of straddling him. His scent, laced with the unmistakable aroma of alcohol, drifted toward me, and was strangely alluring. "Spread your legs, little omega," he said again when I hesitated, his voice a low rumble. Indignation flared within me. I was not a slut, and he should have just asked me to give him a lap dance instead of saying I should spread my legs for him. There were rules here and I refuse to give him any personal services. "I'm sorry, but there are rules here, sir. We do not sleep with customers here." "Who made those rules?" he asked, relaxing on the couch and whirling the wine in his glass. "The owner of this place," I replied tersely, irritated by all the unnecessary questions. I knew he only wanted to use and to
REJECTED: Hired to Breed A NIGHT OF PASSION
KARLA He pressed me firmly against the cool, metallic wall of his luxurious penthouse elevator, seizing my lips with a fervour that stole my breath. His expertise was undeniable, igniting a yearning within me that craved his every touch. As he restrained my hands above my head, his kisses grew more intense, and I surrendered to uninhibited moans, grateful for the privacy the elevator afforded us.The prospect of losing my virginity loomed before me, yet there was no nervousness or second-guessing. My only desire was to feel his touch, to have him explore every inch of me, to be wholly consumed by him. The elevator's doors chimed open, and he effortlessly lifted me, wrapping my legs around his waist. He carried me into his penthouse, a marvel of luxury and style. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I could see the city sprawled beneath us, with a thousand tiny lights illuminating different households. The view added to the romance of the moment. My mate might have been arrogant and

KARLA "Let me get this straight. It was all fake?" Ana asked, staring steadily at me. I nodded, and the expression on her face deepened my guilt. I had been longing to share the complete truth with Ana for quite some time, but I hesitated, fearing she would cause trouble and what Killian might do. So, two days after Killian confessed his love for me and treated me like a princess, I scheduled an appointment with Ana, determined to reveal everything. Ana let out a sarcastic chuckle and averted her gaze. "I can't believe you kept this from me, Karlee." "Ana, I am truly sorry. I couldn't bring myself to tell you due to the seriousness of the situation." I reached across the table to grasp Ana's hand, but she withdrew it. "I am very disappointed in you. How could you hide something like this? I have been there for you since day one. How could you even think of doing that?" "Ana, please, I said I am sorry. It wasn't planned; besides, I know how impulsive you can be.
REJECTED: Hired to Breed HEART TO HEART
KARLA I stirred, yawned, and stretched those three to four seconds of morning grace before reality hit me. My eyes snapped open, and I glanced to the other side of the bed, finding it empty. Panic welled up as I recalled the events of the morning after our first night together. Killian was absent from the bed, meaning he was awake and waiting to yell at me for seducing him again. Slowly, I sat up, grateful he wasn't in the room. I threw off the blanket, ready to put on my slippers, when the door swung open, and Killian entered, carrying a tray. His smile stirred my heart, leaving me in awe. I watched, unsure if I was still asleep and dreaming or if I was fully awake. "You are awake, sleepyhead," he said, setting the tray on the nightstand. I was still in shock and merely stared at him. He smiled at me again, aware of my uncertainty. "I made you breakfast; you must be tired after taking care of me last night." I was too stunned to respond. I never thought a day when Ki
REJECTED: Hired to Breed SURRENDER
KARLA Killian did not return until Jenny woke up. She had gained some strength and insisted on going back to Cabello's house in the city, despite my pleas for her to stay at the villa in the country with me, but she wasn't ready to face Killian just yet and needed to be with Chloe. Jenny assured me she was fine and urged me not to worry about her. One of Killian's men escorted me back to our country house, where our honeymoon was meant to take place. Flora had prepared dinner upon my arrival, but I had lost my appetite due to the day's events, so I headed straight for the shower. As the water cascaded down my body, I recalled the events of the day, especially Killian's emotional breakdown, wondering if our relationship could ever be normal. I couldn't comprehend why he was so conflicted. But I would have to endure this emotional turmoil until our pup was born and had resolved not to expect anything from Killian until after the birth; then, I would move on with my life. I was gratef
REJECTED: Hired to Breed ALPHA'S BREAKDOWN
KARLA I stood in the corner of the private ward where Jenny was put, watching Killian pace up and down the room, frustrated and furious. I could imagine his surprise finding out that his cousin, whom he loved so much, was dying soon and the hurt he felt that she kept it a secret from him. When he turned to face me, I could swear I saw his eyes glistening. I wanted to reach out, take his hand and comfort him, but I could not get the courage. I was still not sure of our stand after my outburst. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked. "I... I don't think it was in my place to tell. She wanted to keep it a secret, so—" "Until when?!" he barked, making me flinch. I could not blame him for breaking down like this. I had been shattered, too, when I found out about Jenny's sickness, and Killian had known her all his life. According to Jenny, they grew up together, and Killian saw her as nothing other than a sister. "Killian I am sorry that she kept it a se
REJECTED: Hired to Breed HIS WARMTH
KILLIAN "Fuck!" I cursed and bolted from my seat. "I will kill that bastard with my bare hands." "Is everything alright?" Colby inquired, coming after me. I felt like breaking down in the middle of the bar. What was Chase doing with Jenny and Karla? I knew he did not run into them. He followed them; he was stalking Karla and knew exactly what he was doing. "Alpha Killian, can you tell me what is going on?" "That bastard Chase is with my mate and cousin. He has them in his car. I swear, I will kill him if I ever lay my eyes on him. Get the car ready and take me to Graceland." "That is like one hour, fifteen minutes from here." "Do you think I don't know that?" "But you have Jayden following them." I had totally forgotten that I asked one of my men to follow them. Jayden was a strong warrior but couldn't defeat several of Chase's men. As I walked towards the car, Jayden sent me a message. He was updating me on their whereabouts. It turned

KILLIAN Colby sat quietly across from me in the bar, watching me gulp down one of the several bottles on the table. When he couldn't take seeing me wasted any longer, he grabbed the bottle from me. "Alpha Killian, what happened?" "I have called Angelo; he will be here in a moment," I said, waving him off and searching for another bottle to down. "I am sure if you wanted to speak to Angelo alone, you would never call me. The last time I saw you like this was—" "Stop." I knew what he wanted to say and was not ready to hear it. "What happened at home?" he asked, staring me straight in my eyes. I eyed him and looked away. Sometimes, I wondered how Colby was able to read me so well. It annoyed me, but he always offered me great solutions, especially when Angelo was too busy with his toys to attend to me. "It's Karla," I mumbled loud enough for Colby to hear. "What about her? Is she opting out of the contract? You only got married yesterday
REJECTED: Hired to Breed OUTBURST
AUTHOR'S P.O.V. For the first time since Karla got to know Killian, he was speaking to her like his wife and not some crazy slut. She also noticed the slight change in his behaviour towards her and wondered if the meeting with Alpha Chase could be a factor. Alpha Chase was sad news, and she wondered what he said to Killian at the wedding. Now, Killian's eyes were trailed on her, and since he already assumed she slept with men for money, she knew what was going on in his head. She shrugged casually. "He is the Alpha of my pack," she replied cautiously. "And?" "I already told you; my father owed him before he died. That is the reason I am here in the first place." "There is no other contract between you two." He said it as a statement, but she knew he wanted an answer. He bit into his breakfast. "No. I do not even know him in person. The wedding was the first place I met him. Did... did he say something else?" He chewed his food but shook his
REJECTED: Hired to Breed THE FIRE SHE BRINGS
KARLA Dinner went awfully quiet. Sadness hovered over the table like ripe peaches. I was not happy because of what I had just learned about Jenny a few minutes ago. Chloe was moody when she was not playing, and it seemed Ana just flowed with the mood around the table. I was the first to leave the dinner table because I already lost my appetite and picked my food throughout dinner. If I had stayed there a little longer, Ana would undoubtedly have figured out what was going on with me. I told them a lie about having a strange headache, which Ana believed was from the wedding stress. She let me know that she would be leaving for college first thing the following day. When I got to our room, I cried some more before sleep stole me away. The next time I awoke was when Killian came back. I pretended not to notice and worried he would flare up when he sees me in his shirt. I slept off again, sometime when he was in the shower and was awoken again when the other part of the b
REJECTED: Hired to Breed I AM DYING
KARLA Jenny stood there staring in the mirror with a tear-stricken face. However, it was not her tears that made me crumble inwardly; it was the baldness of her head. Jenny was completely bald. My legs stayed glued to the ground; I could not go back nor come in further as uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks. Jenny sniffed and wiped her eyes with the back of her palm. “Well…will you stand there all day and look at me, or will you come in here and get what you want?” she asked, not turning to look at me. “Jenny,” I cried, walking towards her and enveloping her in a warm embrace. She held me back and let her emotions overcome her once more. We wept together for a while before she pulled away from me. I was not sure I had cried this bitterly in my life before. My chest was heavy, and she was not even my relative. Jenny was a strong woman. She helped me sit on her bed and consoled me until I got a grip on myself. I have wanted to cry this long
