Rejected love: Second chance mate Chapter 65
Astra's POVThe dining hall seemed to close in around us as Ramsey jumped into action, his protective instincts in full force. I watched as the maid promptly went to her knees, pure fear on every inch of her pale face.My heart beat with fear and disgust at the maid's behaviour. Fear about the fact that someone, somewhere wanted me dead, and disgust at the homicidal behaviour of the young maid. I could not imagine that someone who had served me a plate of food could actually attempt to have me killed.I stared down at the plate of food before me—the lamb chops of death. A sudden wave of anger came over me as I glanced up at the maid again, and I swore right there and then to end whoever had tried to have me killed.The maid was practically trembling now, drop after drop of tears falling from her eyes. "Please...." She whispered. "Alpha, please show mercy!""You do not deserve mercy!" Noah snarled, the bridge of his nose crinkling with barely-concealed anger. I watched, my heart still

At that point, I had absolutely no doubt that this woman absolutely hated me.I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of unease as she walked towards the stand meant for the accused, her head regal and her eyes full of a sense of pride.She paused halfway to the stand, and her eyes fell on her son. "You are an absolute disgrace to me, the royal family and this entire pack!" She spat."Move on, mother!" Ramsey snapped, and she continued walking.Ramsey remained standing at the head of the courtroom, his gaze locked onto his mother with a mix of anger, disappointment, and sorrow. The air in the room felt heavy with the weight of the accusation, and I couldn't imagine the turmoil he must be feeling, torn between his loyalty to his pack and his blood ties to his mother."Let the trial begin!" Ramsey declared, his voice firm, as his eyes roamed around the room.The Council of Wolves, along with the gathered pack members, watched with bated breath as the trial commenced. Lady Eleanor stoo

Ramsey's POVSix months later...."Ramsey, the contractions are getting harder!"My head shot up at the sound of Astra's voice. I turned back to see her sprawled on the bed: legs wide, face full of fear, and my own heart jumped in fright.I turned back to Colin. "Find the pack's physician, stat!" I ordered. "Tell him the Luna's contractions have started.""On it." Colin replied, then gave me a short bow and turned to leave the room.I turned and crossed the room to my luna in two quick strides. I slipped to my knees, crouching before the bed and gripping her hand tight."You'll be fine," I whispered in reassurance. "Remember our breathing lessons....""Oh, Ramsey!" Astra wailed as tears slipped down her cheeks. Her fingers gripped mine, as I pushed all my strength and resilience into her.I stayed with Astra until Colin burst into the room again, followed by the pack's physician and a few frantic wolf nurses. "Step aside, Alpha!" The physician called out, pushing past me to crouch be

Astra pov..."I demand to be let in." I said again, staring daggers at the guards. "I'm his mate, for crying out loud! This is preposterous!"My cheeks were already heating up in embarrassment, as I could see other people being let into the pack house. My feet were killing me; I'd been standing under the sun for literal hours.I just needed to see Noah. I just needed to fix things between us.I stood in front of the guards in Noah's pack house, their eyes trailing my every movement. I could feel the tension radiating off of them, almost as hot as the sun beating down on me."Who gave you this instruction?" I asked, hands on hips. "Surely not the alpha, because I'm his mate, for fuck's sake!"The first guard looked over at his partner, who answered me. "Miss Kylie made the request to not let you in, and the alpha consented to it."That bimbo again?What in the name of the Moon Goddess did she want this time?I stared at the men in front of me, my eyes narrowed. I could see that they di

Astra pov ...Again, the fear that I'd experienced when Noah had pushed me at the stairs was back again, gripping my heart for all it was worth. I stood glued to the spot, watching as Kylie sashayed out of the room, my heart thundering in my chest.What in the name of the Goddess had she told him?!"Miss Astra?" The guard called out. "Miss Astra!"I snapped out of my thoughts and took a tremulous breath. I'd been fisting my fingers, and my nails had been digging painfully into my palms. I closed my eyes and took another quivering breath, then opened my eyes and walked towards the door. "Sure," I murmured. "Let's go and see the alpha."****Rage was a dangerous emotion, and yet it was so powerful when channelled well. My heart was simply pumping ember-hot anger through my body. I wanted to turn around and sniff Kylie out within the pack house, make sure she had a few scratches on her face, curtsey of my nails. But on the other hand, I wanted to face whomever she had managed to buy with

Astra pov...Hopelessness was an almost alien feeling, something I thought I would never come across after I got mated to Noah. Now it had happened again, and it had wrenched my only source of joy away and left me adrift and alone, like a flightless bird on a deserted island. I wanted to scream at the misery life was forcing on me, to scream and scream until I lost my voice the way I'd lost my mate.Noah had been my support system. Without him I felt naked; a plant starved of sunshine and warmth.Somehow, in the midst of my hopelessness, I found myself at the door of the room I usually occupied in Noah's house. A guard was standing at the front of the room, his face grim and unwelcoming."Please..." I said, gesturing weakly at the door. The guard shook his head and stepped in my way as I moved forward."No can do, Miss Astra." The guard almost snapped at me. "The alpha specifically ordered thay we shouldn't let you into this room to take aby personal effects."I stared at him with eye

Astra pov ...I promptly inclined my head as the two men who had captured me walked forward. From the corner of my eye, I watched as they bowed, then one of them said:"She was found loitering at the border of our pack, my alpha. We guessed she was a spy, trying to gain information about our security at the perimeter."I heard the alpha grunt as I stared at the grass close to his feet. "And you think bringing a spy into our borders was the best choice? Don't you think you are giving her more opportunity to learn about our security inside the perimeter?""I...we didn't think—" I felt rather than heard one of the men shuffle uncomfortably."Shouldn't one of you have sent word to me while the other stayed by the "spy" at the border? Couldn't you have, oh I don't know, killed her there, perhaps?" I heard the alpha continue. His voice had a mocking edge to it now. I could almost see the half-smile on his beautiful face."We're...sorry, alpha—""That's alright," the alpha said. "Leave her b

Ramsey's POV"My mate," I whispered, and my inner wolf leapt for joy.Her eyes widened as I said those words, and I caught myself melting in their deep-brown intensity. The ecstasy inside of me was unmatched: In a sudden twist of fate and destiny, the Moon Goddess had given me my mate. I wanted to pull her into my arms and hold her there for forever. My mate, however, had other ideas. "You pervert!" She yelled and pushed against my chest until I took a step back, and then she staggered towards the dining room door. I watched as she fumbled with the doorknob for a few moments, then gave up and slid towards the ground.I immediately crossed the room and crouched beside her before she hit the ground. I took her in my arms and pulled her to my chest as she shivered."It can't be..." She murmured, her voice muffled by my shirt. "It can't be....""It is, Peach." I whispered. "The Moon Goddess blessed us with each other."She leaned away from my chest and searched my face, her eyes darting

Rejected love: Second chance mate Chapter 64
Astra's POVI was alone in my room, the moonlight streaming in through the windows, casting a soft glow on the walls. My hands gently cradled my swollen belly, the life within me kicking and squirming as if in response to the turmoil that had enveloped me.The silence of the night was broken only by the soft rustling of leaves outside, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to drift into the memories of happier times, when the weight of secrets and betrayal had not yet burdened our hearts.For some reason, my thoughts drifted to Noah. I sighed as I stared out of the window of my room, my eyes darting across the moonlit courtyard. Noah had been absent from my thoughts for a long time: I wondered why I would suddenly think about him now. My heart had healed since he banished me from the pack, and Ramsey had mended the pieces, filling my life with love and happiness. Ramsey was the one who truly mattered now.So why was I still thinking about Noah?I shook my head, relentlessly trying
Rejected love: Second chance mate Chapter 63
Noah's POVMy actions were purely driven by anger and hurt, and it had led to a brutal end. I had taken a life, and there was no turning back.But slowly, I felt all my guilt ebb out of me. All I was left with was sadness and a brutal, heavy emptiness.The garden lay in ruins around me, a reflection of the turmoil within my heart. I knew I had to confront Kylie, to face the woman who had hidden such a devastating secret from me. My steps were heavy as I turned to the carriage drive that was waiting for me at the end of the garden. "Alpha...." He stuttered as I walked towards him. I could see concern and a glaring fear in his eyes. Whether he was scared of me or scared of something else, I had absolutely no idea.When I didn't say anything in response, he continued. "What should I do about the.....the body?"I waved a dismissive hand. "Do away with it, somehow.....""Alright." He nodded, then turned and walked ti the carriage. He opened the door and held it open for me.In silence, I

Noah's POVMy world seemed to shatter around my ears at Kenneth's revelation. The words hung in the air like a death sentence, a heavy weight that crushed my chest, stealing the breath from my lungs. I released my grip on Kenneth, stumbling back in shock, my heart pounding in my ears."What... what did you just say?" I stammered, my voice trembling with disbelief.Kenneth straightened his clothing, a smug satisfaction still dancing in his eyes. "You heard me right, Alpha. That child is mine.""Liar!" I screamed, shaking my head in denial. "You are a crazy, pathetic liar!"Kenneth grinned again, as though he was relishing my anguish. "You want it to be a lie. Deep down, you want to paint me as this crazy lunatic who lies his way through every tight situation. But think about it, Alpha. Think."I cast my mind back, trying to think about the circumstances of Kylie's pregnancy. Kenneth continued. "Has that pregnancy ever felt like yours for even one second? Have you ever felt any real con

Noah's POVAs I watched Kylie leave the room, a growing sense of unease settled over me like a heavy cloud. When she got to the door, she turned as though she was about to say something else. But I knew, deep down, that whatever she said would be far from allaying the fears inside of me.Her words had been convincing, but something in her eyes had hinted at a deeper truth, something she was keeping from me. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.The scars from my previous heartbreak still lingered, and I couldn't bear the thought of being hurt by a loved one once again. My soul and my mental health had barely healed from the scars left from the whole issue with Astra.I wanted peace, but it seemed as though the harder I tried, the farther it was from me.A small part of me wanted to dig deeper, to uncover the truth behind that strange man, but another part of me dreaded what I might find. What if his name wasn't really Julian? What if Kyl

.Kylie's POVOh, Goddess!The silence that fell at that moment felt so strong, almost tangible. I could feel it pressing against me, could feel the shock and curiosity moving from Noah in palpable waves.Noah's eyes moved to Kenneth, then back to me, then to Kenneth again. "Who is this man, Kylie?" He asked, his eyes never leaving Kenneth's face.My heart pounded in my chest as I turned to face him, my mind racing for an explanation. Noah's eyes darted between Kenneth and me, suspicion etched across his features. I had to tread carefully, to ensure that the carefully constructed facade I had built didn't crumble before my eyes. The consequences of this encounter could be disastrous, not just for me but for the entire pack.Any little wrong word, and I could as well be placing my own head on the chopping block myself.Kenneth chose that moment to strut forward, his shoulders raised. There was a mocking smirk on his face as he bowed low. "Alpha Noah," he greeted, his voice laced with

Kylie's POVWhen Noah was done, I felt him pull away, a sigh slipping from his lips. I lay against the cold, hard surface of the table for long seconds, as the memories of our steamy sex lingered in my mind."Are you ever going to stand from that desk?" Noah spoke up finally, breaking the silence. "Or have I completely immobilized you with our...ah, act?"I smiled, betraying the raging emotions I felt within me. "No, Noah. I am fine. I'm just taking a moment here."I felt, rather than heard him pause. "Alright...."The room seemed to hold its breath as I listened to the soft rustle of fabric, knowing that Noah was dressing behind me. Every passing second only intensified the strange mixture of emotions swirling within me.This was happiness, I thought. This was what it felt like to own Noah, to finally have him to myself.After what felt like an eternity, I finally stood up. I turned to face Noah, who was now fully dressed. There was a poignant silence between us, a moment when words
