Alina’s POV.

   I was still reeling in shock from the moment Alpha Rylan stepped into this room because his unexpected presence made me remember the demeaning words he said to me, and how he rudely rejected my proposal before going ahead to bed my maid.

Listening to him repeat the vile words he said to me a few days made my heart sink into a very dark hole, especially on realizing that he and this new mate of mine who is surprisingly hell bent on not rejecting me, had laughed at me behind my back.

My heart felt like it was being torn apart in the worst way possible and my hands become sweaty when I remembered what he just whispered to Prince Damien about me.

My face became a little too warm, reality crashing down on me that I might be rejected soon.

“I’m sure you’re going to reject her now.” Alpha Rylan said with amusement in his voice and I inhaled sharply, as my fists clenched and unclenched nervously.

“I’m not rejecting her.” The prince answered in an annoyed tone.

They were conversing like I wasn’t in the room with them.

“Why?” Alpha Rylan asked with raised brows. “She’s a freak, why will you accept a freak as your mate?” He asked as he stared at me for a second, disgust clear on his face before he shook his head and turned away.

Prince Damien stared at me, his gaze was filled with something cryptic, making me uneasy.

“She’s not a freak, she’s a female werewolf and she’s my mate.” He responded calmly.

“She doesn’t have a wolf, she doesn’t have a scent,” Alpha Rylan pointed out dismissively. “That makes her a freak.”

His words made me feel numb. My eyes began burning and suddenly I could barely breathe, my chest constricting with pain as I tried to control my breathing,my tears threatened to spill out from under my mask of calmness.

My fingers curled into the material of my cloth where they rested on my thigh while I listened to them argue.

“I don’t care, like I said I’m not rejecting her.” The prince stated firmly, ignoring his cousin.

“No, I can’t seem to wrap my head around this, she’s not even your type.” Alpha Rylan replied with frustration.

The prince didn't say anything, his shoulders were tense when his cousin spoke again.

“Oh, I get it now.” I heard Alpha Rylan mutter. “You’re deceiving her right?”

“No I’m not,” The prince frowned deeply at him. “I’m not rejecting her, she doesn’t deserve to be rejected because of her lack of a wolf.” He answered in a soft voice.

Alpha Rylan shook his head disapprovingly. “You’re definitely leaving something out, there’s no way you’ll just accept this freak without a reason,” he commented quietly, sounding disgusted. “What are you hiding, Damien?” He questioned.

There was a long silence, then the prince let out a deep breath as he stared at his cousin with a flat expression. “I respect the mate bond, and the mate the moon goddess has chosen for me and that’s why I won’t reject her.” Prince Damien replied after a few seconds, an unreadable expression across his face.

“I refuse to believe that.” Alpha Rylan scoffed, “I don’t know what it is, but I’ll find out soon enough.” He sneered at me as he whirled around and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

A sigh of relief escaped me when he left. The tightness and pain in my chest eased up a bit, but my legs still felt weak and shaky.

The prince turned to me, “I’m really sorry about that.” He apologized softly. His expression was sympathetic when he looked at me.

I shook my head, feeling my stomach tightening, “It’s ok, he said nothing wrong, it’s true anyway.”

“He’s not right, he’s definitely wrong. To me, you’re not a freak.” He responded, voice firmer this time and I swallowed emptily before averting my gaze.

I could feel his eyes boring into the side of my face, and my mouth suddenly felt dry. A small stretch of silence began to grow between us, but he ended up breaking it in the next moment.

“I’m happy you heard our argument, at least you’ll know I wasn’t lying when I said I won’t reject you.” He assured me softly, his face looked sincere and apologetic.

I nodded my head, but I was still skeptical, the weight from the news hitting me hard. I let out another deep breath as Malia crossed through my mind.

“I genuinely appreciate you defending me from your cousin… but I still need to leave though.” I muttered, a frown suddenly appeared on his face.

“Why do you want to leave?” He asked curiously.

I shrugged, trying to pretend I didn’t have an actual reason, “I have something I need to go back and do.” I replied.

Malia’s teary face and tied up hands flashed through my mind and my jaw clenched painfully.

The prince frowned, “Are you sure?” He asked.

“You know every other female werewolf will be bursting with excitement right now if they’re in your shoes right now. They’d be super excited by the fact that I’m not rejecting them and willing to accept them, knowing they’d get to be claimed by me.

He tilted his head, the cockiness obvious in his posture, “And no one’s ever been able to resist spending time with me.” He smiled teasingly.

I rolled my eyes, his cockiness irked me a little, but for someone of his caliber, that’s actually expected. But at least he wasn’t harsh, demeaning and horrible like his cousin, Alpha Ryder.

“As your cousin helpfully pointed out– I’m wolfless, but doesn't that make me different from other girls? So, that’s probably why I’m not dying to hang off your arm like other girls might.” I chuckled flatly while he frowned.

“But on a serious note, I really need to go back to my pack.” I added quickly, hoping he would change the topic and stop asking more questions, which seemed unlikely.

“I can’t let you go back… yet, and you’ve not told me why you want to go back there.” He pressed on, his voice serious.

I bit down on my lips to keep myself from replying to him sharply. I thought of what to say to him, how to tell him about Malia, but nothing came up at the moment.

“I have a friend I need to save there, I really need to go back.” I muttered hesitantly.

“Is there something you aren’t telling me?” He asked in a suspicious tone.

I shook my head, “I mean, I need to save my friend.” I left out details about my father being the one keeping my friend hostage, not willing to give him more information than necessary.

“I see.” He nodded his head slowly. “I’ll help you.” He offered casually.

I blinked, confused, “Really?” I asked, my eyebrows shot up, surprised by his offer.

“Yes, you’re my mate, so we'll go together.” He said nonchalantly.

I shook my head at his response, “I don’t…” I  trailed off, my breath hitched as I tried to come up with the words.

“I don’t think you can help, but thank you for the offer.” I forced a smile, my lips trembled as I looked up at him, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden changes since I’ve met him.

“I’m serious, I’ll help you.” He insisted seriously.

My throat felt so tight that I could hardly speak.

“I’m a prince, and I don’t go back on my

words,” he stated in a firm tone.

I swallowed, still skeptical about his promise, “I’m sorry but I’m still skeptical.” I told him honestly, feeling the anxiety growing inside of me again.

“Why?” He asked, confused.

I frowned, biting my lip and refused to answer him for a few seconds, “I’ve never had someone do something for me or offer to do something for me, I don’t mean to insult you, but I can’t believe you.”

“I’ll make you believe in me.” He declared confidently.

I sighed, refusing to argue with him, all I wanted right now, was to go back and save Malia.

“I know you still don’t believe me, but I’ll make you see how truthful and serious I am about this.” He said with determination shining in his eyes as he looked at me.

“I won’t reject you, so don’t even think about it either.” He added.

I stared at him, unable to say a word. A part of me wanted to believe him, but the majority of me didn’t know if that was possible.

“I’m introducing you to my father right now, to prove how serious I am.” He blurted out abruptly.

I blinked in shock. My mouth was hanging open slightly, I tried to say something but I wasn’t capable of doing it, still feeling stunned.

    Alina’s POVDamien had brought me to the dining room and asked me to seat across from him at the elegant dining table.I wasn't used to eating in such a posh setting because I was constantly in my room back home. Whenever I sat down to eat with my family, they would always make disparaging remarks about me, pointing out flaws in my chewing or how I held my fork.I didn't want to have to deal with that all the time, so I just decided to eat in my room all the time, with Malina for company, of course.Also, my family and pack were not as affluent as Damien's, so there was that.Damien cleared his throat, pulling me back into reality. I quickly remembered where I was and why I was there.I observed him as he silently waited for the food to be served. My thumb was near my mouth, and I was nervously biting my nails."If you have something to say, why don't you say it?" He asked without looking at me."Because I'm not sure if I want to hear your response or not," I murmured, dropping my han

I asked, but she just shook her head."Oh no. The queen sent for you, and not prince Damien. I don't think she'd be pleased if the prince came with you. The queen is also waiting. "I don't think she'll accept any further delays," she muttered, and I sighed.I had just been rubbed of my only way out of another round of insults and disgusted looks.I followed them reluctantly, and they took me out of the house to what seemed to be the green house that was behind their house.The maids opened the doors for me and I stepped in.“She's right inside,” one of them said and closed the door behind me.I walked into the green house, momentarily distracted by the beauty of the plants that

I attempted to talk to him so he would stop pulling me or at least listen to what I was saying, but he wasn't having it.My hand was starting to hurt since he was not only dragging me at an uncomfortably quick pace, but he was also clutching too hard."Hey, Damien… hey, will you please quit dragging me? Hey!" I shouted and jerked my hand away from him, causing him to stop walking and groan before turning around.I examined my hand, and a bruise in the shape of his hand had formed on my wrist."What's your problem? Why are you dragging me around as if I were a servant who needed to be punished? I at least deserve to know why I'm being brought like a sheep to the slaughter. Have some respect for me, please!" I shouted, and by the time I was finished, I was exhaling heavily, which was when I realized I had been shouting.I pursed my lips and took a big inhale."I apologize for being over

    Alina's POVI sighed in frustration as I watched Alpha Rylan stand in front of me, a contented smile playing on his lips. I was sure he relished seeing how much his antics were getting to me.Honestly, I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me flustered, but I was utterly exhausted. I hadn’t had a moment of peace since arriving at Damien’s pack.“I don’t think I have the appetite for anything right now. I’d much prefer to return to my room and rest,” I said to Damien and made a move to leave, but he firmly held onto my arm.“I know you’re hungry, and I’d love to spend more time getting to know you, so please eat with me,” Damien said with a soft smile.Rylan scoffed, the sound cutting through the air, but Damien ignored him.Damien walked over to my side and pulled out a chair for me, gesturing for me to sit. Reluctantly, I did. He took a plate and filled it with food before placing it in front of me.Rylan sat down as well, his gaze fixed on me.“Are you even sure she k

There was a sharpness in his gaze, something calculating and dangerous.He sat there like he owned the place, one arm propped behind his head, the other lazily tracing patterns over the silky fabric of my new dresses. I had left some on the bed while I was staying to decide which to wear.His smirk widened when he saw me standing in the doorway. My grip on the doorknob tightened. “What are you doing here?” He stretched like a bored cat before rising to his feet with a grace that made my skin crawl. “I could ask you the same thing, but I already know the answer to that, don’t I?”His eyes gleamed with something unreadable. “The better question is, what are you doing here?” I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to remain composed. “If you have nothing important to say, I’d appreciate it if you left,” Rylan chuckled, taking

The familiar burn in my muscles was a welcome distraction, one of the few things that kept my mind from spiraling lately. Across from me, my brothers, Lucas and Adrian, leaned against the dumbbell rack, lazily rolling water bottles between their hands. Lucas smirked as he watched me, his golden eyes filled with mischief. “Alright, Damien, spill it. You’re working out like you’re trying to beat something to death.” I didn’t stop. “I’m just focused.” “Uh-huh.” Lucas took a slow sip of water before tossing the bottle onto a nearby bench. “Well, since you’re not busy tonight, how about we hit the club? You could use a little distraction.” I grunted, dodging the question entirely as I landed another solid punch on the bag. Adrian snorted. “I’ll take that as a no.” I finally paused, shaking out my arms before grabbing my own water bottle

    I wasn’t sure what made me knock. Maybe it was the gratitude still blooming in my chest from the night before, or the way my heart quickened every time I thought about what Damien had done for me. He’d kept his word. He’d kept Malia safe, and now I felt like I owed him something—though I had no idea what.Before I could gather my thoughts, the door swung open.Damien stood there, his face soft with an unreadable expression. His shirtless torso gleamed in the soft light of the room, water droplets clinging to the strands of his hair. His eyes met mine, and for a moment, neither of us spoke.I swallowed hard, my pulse racing. He was so close. I could see the play of muscle under his skin, the sharp line of his jaw, the way his chest rose and fell with every breath. There was an overwhelming presence to him that I couldn’t ignore, no matter how hard I tried.“I just came to thank you,” I said, feeling my voice tremble slightly. “For helping with Malia. You didn’t have to, but you did. So

    Alina's POVThe dream was vivid.It started gently—warmth, safety, the scent of cedar and rain wrapping around me like a second skin. I was on Damien’s bed, curled against his broad chest, the rhythmic rise and fall of his breathing lulling me into peace. His fingers lazily brushed my arm, his breath tickling the shell of my ear.Then everything shifted.The warmth turned molten. His touch grew bold—no longer casual or comforting, but possessive and electric. My breath hitched as his mouth brushed over my collarbone, lips trailing lower with an unrelenting hunger. His voice—gods, his voice—was low and sinful, murmuring my name like a prayer and a curse.“Alina…”I gasped as his hands slid down my waist, tugging me closer, pressing me against him like he wanted to mold me into him.I was burning.I moaned softly—shamelessly—as he whispered things into my skin. Things that made my stomach clench and my pulse flutter. Words I shouldn’t want to hear. Words no one had ever dared say to me

    Alina’s POV“So… are you hungry?”Damien’s voice came from beside me, deep and smooth, and for a moment I forgot how to respond. I had barely recovered from our earlier conversation about his brother, and now he was talking about food like we hadn’t just dissected centuries of family drama.“A little,” I admitted, glancing at him.“Good. We’ll eat soon. But before that…” He straightened and looked me up and down, not in a suggestive way, but in a way that made me feel suddenly… exposed. “We need to go shopping.”My brows furrowed. “Shopping?”“You need clothes,” he said, matter-of-fact. “You’re not going to keep walking around the palace looking like one of the maids.”My mouth fell open in protest. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”He cocked a brow at me. “You look like a lost kitchen servant.”I gasped dramatically. “Well, thanks.”He smirked. “You’re my mate. I want you to dress like it. You’re practically royalty now.”I blinked at him. “That’s not how this works. I don’t need

    Alina’s POVI stared at the arm Darius offered, my fingers twitching slightly at my side. Every instinct in me said to be polite, to smile and accept—because it was the eldest prince, because he’d been kind, because refusing tea could somehow be an offense in a place where etiquette ruled like law.But another voice—one deeper, sharper—was whispering Damien’s name in my mind.Don’t trust them.Darius’s smile hadn’t faltered. His posture was relaxed, patient even, but the way he was watching me told me he didn’t expect to be refused.“I... appreciate the invitation,” I began, voice careful, “but I’ve had quite the long day. Maybe another time?”His brows lifted slightly. “Another time?”I nodded. “A rain check?”He tilted his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. “You’re turning me down, Lady Alina?”“I’m not saying no,” I clarified quickly. “Just… not right now.”“You wound me.” His voice was teasing, but there was something else beneath it—an edge, quiet and smooth, like a knife hidden

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter eighteen:Whispers in the Halls

    Alina’s POVI didn’t go back to my room.I don’t know why—I just kept walking. Maybe it was the leftover tension in my chest from that moment with Damien, or maybe it was Blair’s voice still ringing in my ears like an off-key bell. Whatever it was, my feet refused to carry me back to the quiet stillness of my room.Instead, I wandered.The palace was massive, almost labyrinthine. Every hallway branched into another, and it didn’t take long before I realized I was thoroughly lost. But oddly enough, I didn’t mind. The high ceilings, gold-trimmed windows, and the faint scent of roses and polished stone were strangely calming.I turned a corner and nearly collided with a maid carrying a stack of folded linens.“Oh! I’m so sorry!” I stepped back quickly.The maid blinked in surprise but gave me a smile. “No harm done, miss.”Another maid peeked from a nearby doorway, then another, until there were three of them clustered around me like curious little birds.“You’re the guest, aren’t you?”

    Damien’s POVBlair’s voice was the kind that cut through even the thickest tension; high, sugary, and utterly grating.“There you are,” she said, as if she hadn’t planned the interruption with surgical precision.I didn’t move right away. Alina was still right behind me, her scent faint but maddeningly real, the kind of thing that curled around your lungs and refused to let go. I could feel the heat of her body from where I’d just pulled back. My skin still remembered the moment. The closeness. Her breath on my throat.And then Blair had to show up.She smiled up at me like nothing was out of place, but her gaze flicked to Alina, a half-second too long, a little too sharp, and I knew immediately: she wasn’t just here to find me. She’d come to pry.Again.“I’ve been looking everywhere,” she said, slipping her arm through mine like it belonged there.I didn’t pull away, but I didn’t grip her back either.“We were talking,” I said, tone clipped.“I can see that,” she replied, sweetly.

    Alina’s POVI didn’t know who they were. I swear I didn’t.The moment the taller man laughed and Damien’s name slipped from his mouth, my stomach dropped. I turned to the one who had smirked at me like I was some amusing pet, and recognition hit too late, both of them bore that same predatory sharpness Damien did around the eyes. His brothers.Of course.And I’d just threatened to throw fruit at their faces.“...They’re your brothers?” I asked, my voice tighter than I wanted it to be.Damien raised a brow as if I’d just asked him if the sky was blue. “Obviously.”I winced, clutching the half-eaten apple a little tighter. “Right. Obviously. Well, I, uh…” I turned briefly to the two still standing there, both watching me with a mix of amusement and curiosity. “I apologize. For the apple. And the… threats.”They both laughed again, and Damien sighed. Without another word, he reached out, took my wrist, not roughly but firmly and pulled me along with him.We walked in silence through the

    Damien’s POVThe silence between me and my father stretched like a taut string, threatening to snap. I stood before him in the private council chamber, the one he reserved for conversations that required no witnesses, no distractions, only obedience.He was seated, as usual, in his favorite armchair by the wide windows, dressed more like a warlord than a king. His sharp eyes cut through me the moment I walked in, as if he already knew I wasn’t here to grovel.“Well?” he finally said, voice low and imperious. “Time’s up, Damien. Are you going to do your duty or spit on the legacy that built this kingdom?”I didn’t flinch. “I’ll marry Blair.”A heavy pause followed my words.His brow arched, a hint of surprise flickering in his expression. “Just like that?”“No,” I said calmly. “Not just like that. I’ll agree to an engagement… for now.”The king sat straighter. “That wasn’t the deal. The deal was marriage. Immediate. I don’t need another scandal.”“With respect, you’re not going to find

    Alina's povI stood frozen, my heart racing, as the woman who had just entered the room caught my attention. My mind raced, trying to process the situation.The name Blair echoed in my head, and the realization came crashing down like a thunderstorm. Blair wasn’t just anyone—she was the princess, the woman Damien was supposed to marry.I felt a strange sensation in my chest. A sharp pang of inferiority surged through me. My breath caught as I suddenly became acutely aware of the way I must appear to her—shabby, worn, like I didn’t belong.She was everything I was not: poised, elegant, and undeniably royal. She was the kind of woman Damien should be with. The kind of woman I could never be.My mind swirled with questions. Hadn’t Damien promised me he wouldn’t reject me? That he would mate with me?But here stood Blair, looking as though she was already trying to take my place. I looked at Damien for reassurance, but his expression gave nothing away. He remained stoic, his eyes flicking
