Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. More stronger now
Marku’s intense gaze cut to Coal’s and held. “She’s in no danger from me, Wolf,” he spoke slowly. Purposefully, as if to avoid spooking Coal’s Wolf, Marku knelt down and rested on one knee. Maintaining his eye contact with Coal, Marku waited for Coal’s response before he continued.The room was silent, waiting for Coal’s Wolf’s response. I wasn’t surprised to see Coal’s eyes had shifted to obsidian black. I squeezed his fingers, trying to calm my furry mate down. While it was obscenely clear Marku was a predator of extreme caliber, I didn’t suspect he intended to harm me.As we waited, I also found it interesting that Marku’s hesitation meant he took Coal’s threat seriously. He wanted to avoid a fight if possible.After a long moment, Coal’s significant reluctance never went away, but he finally gave a short nod to Marku.Marku turned to me, his expression softening. He held out the ring. “This belongs to you.”“You don’t want it back now that she’s gone?” I asked.One of his eyebrows

Instantly, the door opened. Coal must have been standing right outside. That didn’t surprise me.My Wolf walked through the door, her keen senses taking in the sights and smells of those in the room.Their reaction was a little unexpected.Savannah’s mouth dropped open as she breathed, “Wow.” Aatos eyes widened. And Marku couldn’t have radiated his approval any louder if he’d shouted. He positively glowed as he watched my Wolf walk into the center of the room to meet him.Returning to one knee, he reached for her head and slid both hands into her thick fur. He pressed his lips to her forehead and held them there, whispering, “Truly, you are stunning.”My Wolf preened, tail high, swishing happily through the air.After a long moment, Marku pulled back and stared intently into her eyes.“I know I’m not a Wolf...” he began but trailed off, frustration evident in his eyes as if disappointed he couldn’t give her everything she needed and deserved.His moment of vulnerability surprised me.

BrinleyI emerged from the small bathroom, having shifted back into my skin. When I was seated, Coal wrapped his arm around me again, keeping me tight to his chest. In the back of my mind, I realized the entire pack was waiting for us, but I didn’t care. I still had a multitude of questions.Marku had also returned to his chair. He was now holding a crystal glass with amber liquid. I noted he kept his upper body bare, not replacing the fur previously covering his shoulders and arms. I suspected he understood my Wolf wanted every other Wolf to recognize just who he belonged to. And it was clear Marku had no problem acknowledging her claim. Marku was our family, and my Wolf wanted everyone to know it. I didn’t disagree. For too long, we’d been alone. There was no more social environment than a Wolfpack. Wolves were driven to live as one big family, but not us. We’d been shunned.No more.Getting back to the task at hand, I asked, “What happened next? After you met my mother.”Marku brou
Last Updated : 2023-10-04Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Typical werewolf pregnancy
Easily identifiable now......definitely guilt.So significant was Coal’s distress, I heard his inner chastisement, condemning himself.All his fault...If he’d never been brought into existence, then Marku would have killed his father, and I would have been spared. My torment happened because he was my mate. All his fault...The profoundness of his silent, tormented cry startled me. My Wolf whimpered at his pain.No! I wouldn’t let Coal take the blame for his father.Ignoring everyone else in the room, I pulled out of Coal’s embrace and turned on the couch to face him. Coal looked down at me in confusion, blue eyes flat with agony. I gripped both of his hands and squeezed, speaking fervently through our mind link, “No you don’t! Don’t you dare think I would have been better off without you.”His eyebrows snapped up. Apparently, he hadn’t realized he’d been broadcasting his anguish.I leveled a firm gaze at him, my Wolf joining my eyes.But my stubborn mate just shook his head and t
Last Updated : 2023-10-05Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. The vampire king
BrinleyThe facts of his story churned in my mind. My mouth felt dry. My mother had been so close to freedom. She’d had an ally as powerful as a vampire king to protect her...to protect us. The only thing she couldn’t escape was the pack bond.Following my thoughts, Coal confirmed, “The mage couldn’t break the pack bond, could he?”Marku’s expression turned hard. “No. He tried. Even contacted two other mages for assistance. But was not successful.”I nodded silently.After a quiet moment, Marku held my gaze intently and shifted the direction of the conversation. “Given your lineage as my biological child and the fact that I was the vampire who changed you, you are going to be very powerful, do you understand?”On a basic level, his words made sense, but, no, I didn’t feel like I grasped the reason for the intensity of his statement. “Not really.”“First, your bloodlust is stronger.”My eyes snapped wide, heart racing in my chest. I’d forgotten all about that!Feeling my panic through

She snorted a laugh, shook her head and pushed him off of her.Stepping away with a smug grin, Marku’s eyes found mine, “Brinley, I’d like you to meet Queen Raine.”She smiled, and I nodded in acknowledgment.Marku continued, “Raine, this is my daughter, Brinley.”The queen’s eyebrows shot up, and then without another word, she made her way across the room and engulfed me in a heartfelt hug. Holding tight, she murmured in my ear, “It’s lovely to meet you.”Her welcome rang with sincerity. But more than that, there was a strong nurturing undertone. Instantly, I felt a connection. Maybe it was the fact she was a mother. I’d gone without parental affection for so long, and her transparent protective and compassionate emotions washed over me, leaving me radiating with warmth as she pulled away.“This is my mate, Coal." I said. She probably didn’t need me to clarify my relationship as Coal was pressed right up against my back.“Welcome to our home,” Coal said but didn’t make any move to to

Marku seemed to sense Coal’s growing anger. “However, you’re a big motherfucker, and I’ve seen your Wolf fight. You have skill. You also have resources to protect her. Brinley’s identity as mine is no longer hidden, so the strategy changes from defensive to offensive now. It’s the reason I’m here. Everyone knows you’ll defend her, but not everyone has met me. They need to understand that you are not the only shitstorm coming for them should anyone dare to harm her.”I glanced up to Coal. Obsidian eyes stayed locked on Marku.Marku easily held Coals intense gaze. “I will set up safeguards wherever I can, but I assumed you won’t let me post vampire guards in the pack, so it’s the reason I asked Queen Raine to join us. Her kingdom is the nearest vampire safety. And quite frankly, I wouldn’t trust Brinley with anyone but her.”Finally, Coal spoke, “You’re absolutely right, there will be no overt vampire presence here. It would simply be too unsettling for the wolves. I will take care of B
Last Updated : 2023-10-08Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. The torment and torture
BrinleyRemaining on a single bent knee in front of me, Marku intently studied my expression. "Are you ready?"I wasn't sure that I would ever be ready. Coal had no idea the true extent of my torture at the hands of brutal shewolves. I had told him only the basics,glossing over the details. At the time, Coal was preparing to fight Alpha and it would have put him at a disadvantage for him to know more. He didn't need the added stress of knowing the torment I faced as a pup. But he would see the truth now in all of its ugly glory, and I wasn't at all sure the big vampire was correct in assuming Coal's Wolf could be contained. But it couldn't be avoided. Coal would have to know at some point. Now was the time.Taking a slow breath in, I nodded.Immediately, I felt a strange sensation, pressure inside my mind, tangible and uncomfortable. Automatically rejecting the invasiveness, my muscles locked up. I hunched forward and my eyes fell shut. My Wolf whined her discomfort. She felt it too.

Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Voices in her head
Yes l fell into a deep pit of sleep next to Coal, but the moment i did everything changed, i didn’t know where my subconscious was heading to but I was no longer feeling closer to Coal. At first, it was black with blasts of light coming from every corner and then I sunk deeper into the dream and woke up in the middle of nowhere.I glanced back, over my shoulder and found the wind whistling behind me and picking up the whatever was coming in its way. The long, thick trees wavered and branches snapped left and right. I pushed my hair behind my ears, holding them from blocking my vision.A part of me knew this was a dream but the other part of me didn't have a clue.A forest was stretched ahead of me and it reminded me of the one I was in, the time l saw the creature. The sound of the whistles and the wind speeding around me confirmed my theory. I was standing where the dark creatures found me in the beginning, the same exact spot.Fear immediately flowed through my whole body as l recal
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. the kiss
As soon as we were alone Kaden tossed me onto the couch near the bed. I fall back on it and clutched the sides while he began circling around me. My breaths came out quickly as I gathered the scene in front of me.The bed was covered in blood, mostly his blood but not all. There's some of mine on the sheets because of the sharp wood but his blood covers most of it. The wooden stake sat near to the pillow until he grabbed it and brought it to me."You can't stab me. I will die." I tell him.He chuckles at my protest and twirls the stake in his hand before coming behind me. My chest raises and drops as he lowers his head close to mine while the stake remains in his hand."I could stab you, then heal you. You'd feel most of the pain, wouldn't you?" It's not a question, it's a threat.I mask my fear and smile. "It wouldn't be the same since I did stab you in the heart. You can't get anywhere close to mine because then I'd die. Not even your blood would heal me."His face turns into a twis
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. still alive
'Keep running because if I catch you, I'll bite you.'His laughter rang in my ear, and filled me with fear and horror as I ran through the woods on my feet.I've unleashed the monster, and now there was no turning back. He'was chasing me, he found the thrill in it and I don't. The cold gripped me from everywhere. The woods are completely dark, there's no source of light or life, just him and me. Fear instilled inside me as I tried desperately to find a path out of the woods and into the town I've escaped from.I don't even know where it is, to begin with. Nothing is familiar.The woods close in around me, dark, looming trees and crisp, cold air. The darkness is suffocating but I have to find my way back, back into Kaden's house where he can trap me forever.I already know he isn't going to let this go so easily. Forcing me to run across the woods, in the cold night while he chases me and threatens to bite me is only the beginning of his anger. It's only the tip of the iceberg.I stabbe
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. his blood
"Well, you're really not one for morning-after cuddles, are you?" He asked, a frown smeared on his face.Instead of replying, I screamed again, unable to believe that he's here. Right now. Right here. I killed him. I fucking killed him.It doesn't turn to reality until I feel his hand over my mouth, stifling my screams. I struggle against his grip, but it's vain, pointless. He's a lot stronger than me and the fear coursing through me doesn't help either."You really thought a piece of wood could stop me? How amusing." His voice is teasing now, a smirk playing on his lips but I don't take it lightly. There's a dangerous fire flickering in his face.I draw his hand away from my mouth and rushed out of the car to catch my breath. Cold wrapped around me. My chest raised and dropped. I blinked at him as he stepped out. My one hand falls over my hip while the other one is over my mouth. How is he alive? I stabbed him.He was dead.Literally dead."Oh, now you're the one scared." His smirk t
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Looking for her
ISABELLA'S POV.I placed the pump back and headed into the store. I was finally free and out of the dark forest. The cashier smiled and waved at me as I entered. Rows of snacks, drinks, and road maps greeted my eyes. My stomach grumbled as I moved in the aisles. I really missed eating them. I didn't see anything in that monster werewolf world.Just staring at some cookies made my stomach to grumble again. I have never felt this hungry, this empty and so thirsty.Without hesitating, I grabbed whatever I could fit into my hands before returning to the cashier.The cashier smiled at me once more but this time I returned a fake smile. I damn hungry. "How has your night been?" The cashier asked while checking out the items in front of him.I sighed, not knowing what answer I should give me.He was trying to be nice to me but I wasn't interested at all. He didn't know what the hell was stressing me and what I passed through within one night.I killed my so called mate. What was worse, he di
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Her smell
My eyes flutter opened to find Kaden, asleep.The moment I saw a big black wolf , I lost conscious immediately. I couldn't help it but still I wasn’t saved because here I was now on his chest resting on it.How the hell did it happen?!I sat up startled then I looked around. It was still night, nearing morning.Currently he looked peaceful , his pink lips kinda open but still I didn’t like him.We are two different people. He is a werewolf and I am a normal person.Nothing of that is going to change. If he thought that sleeping with me will make me feel better , he was a fool.He's still cold, just like he's meant to be and I will never like him.Slowly I slided off the bed, my legs wobbling a little as my body adjusted to the after-effect of fighting with the bitch. I moved softly across the room, wincing as a small wave of pain shooted through my lower body. I clenched my teeth and pressed on.When I looked back, I found kaden still sleeping after all my movements. He's deep asleep
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Save me
I sat alone on the bed, my legs hanging off the side and my feet barely touching the ground. The night was colder than the day and it was worse because I was alone in the room I didn't want to sleep in , surrounded by an eerie silence and my own thoughts. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, not here, not again.There's something odd about this room. I don't want to be in here for another day, even another minute.My eyes travelled over the walls and then to the window at the top but there was no escape. After a while I sighed heavily then slipped my feet under the sheets and lay down, contemplating my own life, my situation. Would it have been any different if I didnt tell Alex that I was pregnant. I wouldn't be here by now.Here I was stuck, eyes opened while ,l listened to the forest outside. Everything was cool but my inner part wasn't. Things were strange here. Surprisingly I was no longer feeling the pain and yet I fought with that bitch."Urggh", Thinking about it all, l lost inte
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Don't provoke me
The guards didn't grip my hands as they led me to my prison. I thought they were taking me to the whore house but shockingly this time they decended downstairs.This was the basement.As soon as we reached one of the guards open the cell. I blinked there was no chains in it. It was an empty stone walled room , cold and daunting. There was a chair in the middle, a table in front of it and another chair facing it together with a single lamp in the middle. It seemed like an interrogation room for some sort ."Sit", He simply ordered and l obeyed without uttering anything. I wasn't just thrown in a cell to rot but something else was coming. He stood at the door waiting. Suddenly the door opened and l knew who the hell it was. It was the son of a bitch Kaden , he didn't enter immediately though.I looked at the guard who simply stood at the door waiting then turned and looked at my feet. Stomach pangs were getting stronger. I didn't care about it , l was eagerly waiting for what was coming
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. So cold
Before l could do anything, and completely finish the bitch, I was out of the blue quickly catapulted into the nearest tree. My head slammed against the trunk instantly. My vision went black for a split second and then came back slowly. I gagged from the luck of oxygen and my heart pounded against my chest. Suddenly a huge brown wolf stood in front of me, blocking my way.It didn't allow me to catch my breath before it barred it's canines at me. Menacing , l choked and crawled back to the tree. " Don't do anything to me, I'm not going to kill her", Recalling the way they treated me the last time I escaped , l spoke quickly. " Where did you think you were going?", Before the brown wolf could do anything to me , l heard the voice behind me. It was Mark one of the guards."Am gonna go back", l said quickly. "You can't escape, these woods , the forests are filled up with wolves, they can smell you",He smirked and eyed my body for wounds. I kept quiet feeling stupid. "Did you think that yo
