Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 1 Luna No More
(Hilda)“Get down!” Every arrow that flies by makes me fear for my mate’s safety. I stand above him, staring at the enemy who is approaching quickly. I will protect him until I die, I know that. Because I know he would do the same. “If I don’t make it, I hope you can find your second chance mate and be happy with her…” I say, clutching my weapon. “Hilda, you can’t fight them alone, you have to go! You have to run!” my mate Alpha Soren shouts with the last of his strength. He tries to lift himself off the ground, reaching for me, and I take his hand. “I’m not going anywhere.” I kneel beside him, looking into his eyes. “I love you, Soren. We’re going to survive this together. Or we will die together.” “No!” He yells. “You have to run!”As the words leave his lips an arrow strikes me. I collapse to the ground, laying beside him, as he cry out my name. I want to comfort him, to tell him I am alright, but the pain is too much. But still, I struggle to get back up. I am going to keep

(Hilda)It’s Cerelia’s Luna coronation ceremony today. It’s almost funny that only yesterday, I believed today would be my coronation day. I had imagined it. The flowers, the music, the happiness I would feel standing beside him. But now it is her flowers, her music, and her happiness. The pack gathers in the clearing, everyone dressed in their finest, smiles adorning their faces. The air is full of joy and celebration, the scent of flowers and the sound of laughter permeating the space. Everywhere I look, there are signs of festivity and happiness. It feels like a cruel joke. I walk slowly through the crowd, each step sending a jolt of pain through my body. The physical discomfort is nothing compared to the agony in my heart. I try to search for my old friends in the crowd but I don’t find them. The only thing I can see is Soren and Cerelia standing together, their hands intertwined, looking at each other with such love and adoration that it brings tears to my eyes. It is the s

(Hilda)I struggle and try to fight them off, but my muscles are still weak from a year of lying down. Each movement is a painful reminder of my vulnerability. The warrior’s grips tighten, and my attempts to break free are futile. As the crowd recognizes me as the former Beta, their attitudes shift. Hatred and vengeance flare in their eyes. The whispers turn into shots, and more of them surround me, eager to settle old scores. They are not just following orders, they really want to hurt me.The hands that once fought me on the battlefield now claw and pull, dragging me away. Panic surges through me as I feel myself being overwhelmed. Desperation claws at my heart, and my vision blurs with tears. I am on the brink of losing myself when I hear a familiar voice. “Stop!” Soren’s command cuts through the chaos. He pushes through the crowd, his presence halting the onslaught. The warriors hesitate, releasing their hold on me. For a brief moment, a spark of hope ignites in my heart. May

(Hilda)The cabin’s suffocating walls form a prison that makes me almost lose myself completely. So I am pleasantly surprised when two of Damon’s men grab me and throw me on the cold hard ground outside. I look up and there are a dozen or more of them all standing around me with bow and arrows in hands.Then the realization hits me. They want to hunt me for sport.I thought Damon’s cruelty had reached its limit, apparently not.“Go on, little wolf. I’ll give you a head start!” Damon says, smiling maliciously at me.I know it’s not a smart move to comply, but every fiber of my being screams for freedom.The night was my ally. The moon is high, casting a silver glow over the forest. I move quickly, my footsteps silent against the forest floor. Each step takes me further from the cabin, from Damon’s grip, and towards the unknown. But I know this journey won’t be easy. As I push through the underbrush, the sound of men shouting and the pounding of feet against the ground fill the air. Th

(Hilda)Without a word, my rescuer opens his arms, and I collapse into them. The moment his arms wrap around me, the dam inside me breaks. I sob into his chest, my body shaking with the force of my anguish. He holds me tightly, his hand gently stroking my hair, whispering soothing words that I can’t quite hear over the roar of my emotions. I tilt my head up, my eyes meeting his. There is a moment of hesitation, a flicker of uncertainty, and then I press my lips to his. The kiss is gentle at first, tentative, as if we are both testing the waters. But the need, the desperation, quickly overtakes us. I kiss him harder, my hands gripping his shirt, pulling him closer. He responds in kind, his lips moving against mine with an intensity that leaves me breathless. His hands roam my back, tracing the curve of my spine, igniting a fire within me. I moan into his mouth, the sound swallowed by his kiss. Every touch, every caress, felt like a promise, a reassurance that I am not alone, that I a

(Hilda)“You are my mate,” King Arlo repeated, standing in front of the door. “You will stay here with me.” “No,” I said, my voice firm despite the tremble in it. “I am my own woman, King Arlo. You’re just… a rebound.” “Did you just call the Alpha King your rebound?” My wolf laughed. “You are crazy.” King Arlo’s eyes darkened, a mix of frustration and desire flashing across his features. He took a step closer, his presence imposing, almost overwhelming. “You don’t get to decide that,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “The bond between us is real, Hilda. You can’t run from it.” I stood my ground, crossing my arms over my chest, trying to put as much distance as I could between us without actually moving. “You think you can just claim me because of some bond? I won’t be anyone’s consolation prize.” King Arlo’s gaze softened for a moment, and he reached out, cupping my chin gently. “You’re not a consolation prize, Hilda. You’re everything.” The sincerity in his voice caught

(Soren)The night was cold, but the chill I felt had nothing to do with the weather. As the newly-crowned Luna Cerelia lay sleeping beside me, I found no peace in her presence. The guilt gnawed at me, festering like an open wound. Hilda. The thought of her name was like a dagger to my heart, twisting deeper with every breath I took. I had made my decision. In a moment of desperation and confusion, I had convinced myself it was the right thing to do. Hilda had been in a coma for a year, and the mate bond had faded. When I met Cerelia, it felt like fate was giving me a second chance. But now, all I felt was regret. I couldn’t sleep. The image of Hilda’s eyes, filled with pain and betrayal, haunted me. I had promised her everything: love, loyalty, and the title of Luna. And I had taken it all away in the blink of an eye. Rising from the bed, I dressed quietly and slipped out into the night. The pack house was still and silent. I moved with purpose, heading towards the healer’s quarte

(Hilda)He had leaned, pressed a brief, tender kiss to my lips before he left for the door. Once he was gone, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. The room felt strangely empty without him, and I tried to shake off the feeling of unease that settled over me. I needed to clear my head, to think about what had just happened between us. Hours passed, and King Arlo’s servants came and went, bringing food and tending to the fire. They were efficient and polite, but there was an undercurrent of tension in their interactions with me. I couldn’t help but notice the way they avoided eye contact, the way their hands trembled slightly as they set things down. Curiosity got the better of me, and I finally asked one of the servants, a middle-aged woman with a kind face, what was going on. “Why do you all seem so… nervous?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light. The woman glazed around as if checking for eavesdroppers, then leaned in closer. “It’s King Arlo,” she whispered, h

CereliaI’m just getting started on dinner when someone starts hammering on the door of Maelor’s cottage. We take turns cooking, which I appreciate, even if the food he prepares is barely edible. It’s nice to feel that he sees me as an equal and not his temporary maid.Nobody else has come here since my arrival and he’s a recluse as far as I know. Maybe it’s a lost traveler. Whoever it is certainly seems to be in a panic, judging by the severity of the knocking. Maelor’s gone out to forage for herbs. Many of the ingredients needed for potions only bloom at night, or need to be picked at specific times of the day.“We have a problem-“ the woman snarls, snapping her mouth shut when she takes me in. “Who the hell are you?” she asks angrily. She’s older than I am, appearing to be in her mid-30’s. She’s flawlessly beautiful, with porcelain skin, glossy ebony hair, emerald eyes, ruby lips and an hourglass figure. She should take my breath away with her perfection but it seems too unnatural
Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 50 Solitude
HildaArlo’s only been gone for a day and I’m already driving myself nuts. It seems inconceivable that a few short weeks ago I still had doubts about our relationship. It’s as though the thought of losing him flipped a switch inside of me, lighting up all the dark, hidden places and showing me the truth.I still shudder in shame when I think about my night of illicit passion with Soren. It was such an awful thing to do, something I would never have believed either of us capable of, but if it hadn’t happened, would I still be vacillating between trusting in my new bond and hankering for what I lost?I hope Soren can find the same peace and happiness that I have. That Cerelia is back with him and she can convince him to let go of his ridiculous determination to depose Arlo. I wish there was something I could do to steer him on to a different course of action. I don’t want him to die. I want him to live his own life and to let Arlo and me live ours.Goosebumps pop out on my arm when I re
Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 49 Bring it on
Arlo I’m traveling with a small group of my best warriors. Nixie because she’s as fast as the wind. If things go wrong and we need back-up she can outrun anyone. Percy is my Beta and it was another area of contention between me and Hilda. I wanted him to stay behind and guard her, she insisted I should have my strongest fighter by my side.If convincing her to stay hadn’t already been so tough, I would have kept arguing until she saw things my way, but I was terrified she’d change her mind and decide to follow us. She’s more than worthy of being a Luna. Not much can sway her from her course, not even a direct order from her Alpha, I think to myself with a rueful smile.There’s no doubt in my mind anymore that none of my previous ‘mates’ had ever truly been intended for me. The way I feel about Hilda is indescribable. Her presence both electrifies and calms me. The whole world looks different to me now. I never realized how bleak my general outlook was until she came along and splashe
Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 48 His Promise
Hilda“You’re not coming along,” Arlo tells me forbiddingly. He makes sure to use a tone that brooks no argument, but I’m brooking anyway, because there’s no way in hell it’s a good idea for us to split up. The mating bond between us is so powerful, that we do everything better when we’re together.I’m a stronger fighter, we both heal faster, we can anticipate the others thoughts and I’m happier when I know Arlo’s within touching distance. What a difference a few days can make in your life when you stop running from what’s right in front of you.“I’m not staying behind either. You can let me travel with the rest of the pack or I’ll follow along behind on my own, the choice is yours,” I tell him, crossing my arms over my chest. “Hilda, this isn’t a game. Rolf all but admitted Soren’s focus on war is led by his desire to get you back. You’re not going anywhere near him. I’m going to challenge him to a one-on-one fight and we’ll put an end to this once and for all.”His face softens when

Cerelia I can’t say that studying magic has been drearier than I thought. It’s fascinating, eventful, exciting. Maelor is a good teacher and he warms to me very quickly. He’s not what I first expected. He seemed a bit sullen and reluctant, but he’s come out of his shell completely. Throwing himself into our lessons with great fervor.“How exactly did you do it? I understand the talisman was to ward off evil, but on its own it could never have defeated someone as great as Lilith. Did you feed power into it somehow?” He’s been questioning me about it since the first day I got here.“Maelor, if I knew, I’d tell you, I really would. I’m sorry, but it’s all a blur. I was sure I was going to die and I reached for the only weapon I had. I never expected what happened next and it was all so fraught with danger I was flooded with adrenaline. Everything in that moment was strange to me, I can’t remember what I felt like, only what I saw happening to Lilith.”He sighs and pouts for a while. “Wh

Hilda “Dammit, I was sure it’s this way!” Arlo’s frustration is obvious. We’ve been hiking for hours and he keeps having flashes of memory, certain that he’s on the right path and a particular part of the woods looks familiar, until he’d suddenly stop and look confused.“It’s okay, Arlo. We know your mother messed with your memories and probably planted all kinds of traps to lead you astray. We’ll keep trying. One thing every area you’ve led us to has in common, are very large yew trees. Most of the forest is made up of beech and rowan trees, the yews are scarce. Plus they’re associated with magic. I think if we can mark their locations on a map, we may find the place that keeps sliding out of your head.”Arlo pulled me in for a kiss, tilting my head all the way back so I could look up at his tall frame. “Gorgeous, sexy and a genius. I won the mating lottery,” he murmurs huskily, toying with the buttons of my shirt. “Oh dear, one of those seem to have slipped open,” he says in mock r

HildaI feel like I’m strung out on joy, effervescing, bubbling over with it. After everything that’s happened, I’m happier than I’d known it’s possible to be. Arlo and I talk constantly. About Lilith, the girls, the way he’s run the pack, the tension amongst his warriors. He holds nothing back from me.My love for Soren was very real and the pain of losing him cut me to the core, but I can’t deny that it wasn’t comparable to the bliss I feel now. Body, mind, soul, heart, it’s all brimming over with completion. I feel whole in a way I’d never experienced before.Seeing the way Arlo is changing, opening up not only to me, but to his pack, is a revelation. I can see his warriors are still wary, not sure whether they can trust this more relaxed Alpha King, but I have no doubt that he’ll win them over in short order. He’s too incredible not to.There are moments of darkness and doubt, which will undoubtedly continue for a long time to come. Forgiving himself isn’t going to be as simple as
Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 44 Missing
SorenDamon is waiting when I arrive at the pack house, prowling up and down with barely controlled fury. “Where’s Cerelia?” he demands, eyes hardening when he sees the confusion on my face. “Isn’t she back?”“No Soren, she isn’t back. She’s your Luna, surely you know where to find her? Or don’t you care what happens to her anymore now that you have Hilda back in your bed? Don’t bother denying it, I can smell her all over you.”“If you want to issue a challenge, Damon, do it. I don’t have the energy for a pissing contest right now. I need to find Cerelia. You may do well to remember that I’m your Alpha and you don’t demand things from me.” I can see that he’s wavering on a knife’s edge, more than a little tempted to go for me right then and there.“I suggest you shower at least 3 times before tracking down Cerelia, unless your aim is to dissolve the mating bond and strip her of being Luna?” Damon drawls. I understand his anger, but that doesn’t mean I intend to tolerate it.“We still
Rejected by My Mate, Fated to the Lycan King Chapter 43 Absolution
Hilda“That wasn’t your fault,” Arlo immediately counters. It seems making excuses for each other’s shortcomings may become a bit of a theme. “I’m so ashamed of my actions Arlo, but that doesn’t mean I get to pretend they weren’t mine.”“I won’t ever again, but this one time it means exactly that. If Soren hadn’t kidnapped you and planted doubts in your mind. If I’d been honest with you and not left cracks for him to widen. If, if, if. For all I know my mother cast a spell in order to drive a wedge between us. We’re starting with a clean slate. No secrets, no lies, no subterfuge.”I don’t deserve to be let off the hook this easily and maybe I’m weak for gratefully accepting his absolution without any further argument, but I want to forget that it ever happened.“Thank you. I’ll never betray you again, I swear. My loyalties aren’t divided anymore, Arlo.” His lips descend on mine for a fiery kiss. “How can I possibly want you so badly again already?” he groans. “I’m yours for the taking
