The Alpha's rejection 04~ Working overtime
Weeks later… I took over the reins and Jumped over Ariana’s fence to avoid getting caught by her. Wesley had been whining to see her so we had been coming over to her place every night to watch her secretly. Quickly running towards my car that was parked by the roadside, I looked around before shifting back to my human form and entered the car. Phew! That was close. ‘Coward.’ Wesley grumbled as I put on my clothes. ‘I’m not being a coward... She would freak out if a big wolf suddenly showed up in her yard. You wouldn’t want our mate to be scared of us, would you?’ I tried to reason but he wasn’t having it. He was getting grumpier and irritable by the minute. I had to force myself forward back there otherwise he would have done something to scare our little mate away. ‘You ain’t doing shit so I should take matters into my own hands.’ He said and I frowned. That wouldn’t be good. A forced mark was a taboo… I was worried this situation was making Wesley slowly lose his sanity.
The Alpha's rejection 05~ Sparks
Ariana I was angry at my boss for suddenly asking me to stay back and work overtime. For fucksake… it was a Friday and I wanted to go home and have a hot shower… watch a movie or two and sleep as much as I want. To make matters worse, I had to work from his office. I couldn’t focus. I don’t know... There was something about him that made me nervous when he was in proximity. I mean… he did nothing… just stared at me intensely most of the time. But I would feel my knees becoming weak as his scorching gaze burned into me. It was like he was trying to peer into my soul. He had never made any move on me… yet. But the way he looked at me made me feel things. Things I was intending to bury. I couldn’t have a crush on my boss. Even though he was exceptionally handsome… he was a player too. And my employer. Going beyond that relationship was out of the question. That’s why I tried my best to be professional and avoided personal confrontations with him. From that first day when he tried
The Alpha's rejection 06~ My other half
“Mmmmmmmm,” I moaned as I stretched my limbs and curled my toes in bed as I awoke from a very satisfying deep sleep. It was a weekend, which meant, no work for two days. Yay! I could binge-watch as many dramas as I want and sleep as much as I want with no disturbance. No need to panic about tomorrow’s outfit because I wasn’t going nowhere! My excitement died down when I suddenly remembered what happened last night. I met Jace with another woman and I cried like a fool. Then my boss hugged me to comfort me. He hugged me... I bit my lip, replaying the scene in my mind. The way his hands felt around me… his manly scent wafted through my nostrils and I made sure I took several whiffs before the hug ended. He smelled so good I couldn’t resist the moan that escaped my lips. Heat crept up my cheeks, recalling how he chuckled. Why did I have to embarrass myself like that? Burying my face in my pillow, I groaned while kicking my feet on the bed. Luckily it was the weekend and I didn’t
The Alpha's rejection 07~ Mr. Romantic
Lewis I stayed back in my office to search on how to be romantic. Don’t get me wrong. I used to be a player but it wasn’t that hard to get girls to my bed. They got enchanted by my looks and allure. So I never really had to make effort. It was so easy… But things were different now. Ariana is my mate and she deserves the best. I have to be romantic and be a gentleman in every possible way. I desperately needed her to fall in love with me otherwise I would be mateless and Wesley would go feral. Not good for a beta wolf. The answers I got after my search were crazy. Fuck. I saw something like finishing house chores, cooking... How the fuck was I supposed to do that? I knew nothing about doing chores. This answer was definitely written by a woman. Nevertheless, I read through the other points and made sure they were stuck in my mind. I stood up from the desk and smirked, smoothing my gray suit. Little mate… get ready to get swept off your feet by Mr. romantic. ‘Tch… I hope you're
The Alpha's rejection 08~ Moving on
Ariana “To bring you some work…. The one you didn’t finish yesterday.” My jaw almost dropped to the floor when I heard that. This man loved work so much. He had to follow me to my house to bring the work I didn’t finish yesterday. Anyway… it’s okay since if he wasn’t here, I would have been devoured by Jace against my will. He came in like a knight in shining armor and beat the shit out of him. I sighed, he looked really tough and manly when he protected me. “Since you’re frightened, you can just do the work on Monday. Pack up so that I take you away from here,” he said and started to walk out of the room when I called out to him. “Lewis..” He whipped his head around, his eyes widening. I blushed... He had told me to call him Lewis, right? “Thank you,” I added and turned around, walked to my closet, and began to pack my clothes, trying to ignore the loud thundering of my heart. “You’re welcome little- I mean Ariana.” He said and left the bedroom. I smiled to myself... What was
The Alpha's rejection 09~ Tingling sensation
I don’t know how I ran away from Lewis’s apartment and found myself in a bar, downing beers like a pro. I was tipsy as fuck but it did nothing to curb the anger and pain I was feeling deep down. Olivia… That call was the last straw. All the things I kept bottled up came crashing down on me at once. I trusted her. Yet she had been fucking my man all this time. She even had the guts to call me and warn me to stay away from Jace. Taking a swig of the 5th beer I suddenly recalled Olivia’s behavior. It now made sense why she was always de-campaigning Jace. She used to say he wasn’t the right one for me and I should leave him… so she wanted him for herself. I chuckled to myself… well she can keep him. Who would want a lying jerk? Not me… that’s for sure. I felt my phone vibrating in the back pocket of my jeggings, making me groan. Who the hell was calling me when I was having some me-time? “Hello?” I answered, furrowing my brows. It was a strange number. “Where are you, Ariana?” R
The Alpha's rejection 10~ All I want and need
Lewis I deliberately knocked on Ariana’s door half-naked… I wanted to flaunt my bare chest to seduce her and it worked… I saw her checking me out. From the way she averted my gaze, I could tell she was blushing even though her tanned skin hid the evidence. She had left an hour ago for a walk and I let her… since a romantic guy gives his girl space. A point I got from the internet which I thought was total bullshit… I wanted to be with my mate every second of the day. I sighed, plopping on the couch and turning on the TV. The human town was boring as fuck… I would have gone for a run in the forest if I was back home… or I would have taken over patrol to chase away rogues... Wolves that had gone feral and terrorized packs. My phone rang and I looked at the screen... my sister was calling. Smiling to myself, I picked up. "Hey sis.. what's up," I said as soon as the call connected. It’s been long since I heard from her and I still felt guilty for banishing
The Alpha's rejection 11~ Compensation
Ariana I found myself stumbling through a thick forest. My feet bare as they stepped on leaves and twigs, snapping them in half. Cuts and blood now graced the soles of my feet from stepping on the rough ground and stones. Where was I? I looked around, not recognizing the area. Did the City have such forests? Never heard of them…I glanced down at my disheveled state, my clothes tattered and covered in blood. What happened? I kept stumbling forward but strangely, despite my appearance, I felt no pain. Then I heard it.. the heavy stomping on the ground, coming in my direction. A shiver ran down my spine and I broke into a run on instinct. I looked back and saw dogs, or was it wolves? Chasing after me. It's normal since I was in a forest, but were they supposed to be that big? Most of them stood at three-foot or four. My heart banged hard in my chest... I could feel it in my throat. My legs felt like they were made of lead. Why couldn't I run faster? Would I be eaten to dea

The Alpha's rejection 89~ Epilogue
THREE YEARS LATER Lewis It was funny how time flies. One minute you’re a child and the next, you’re an adult who’s responsible for yourself and other people. In my case, I was a mate, a beta and a brother and a soon-to-be father. That’s right, Ariana and I had our wedding 4 months ago and now she was carrying our pup. A boy. She was the most beautiful bride I had ever seen and on that day, when she said I do, it was one of the best days of my life that I’ll cherish forever. The last three years have been nothing but blissful. Life was great. We would have problems here and there but nothing that was not solvable. After all, this is real life and not everything can be perfect. Alpha James and Zoe left on a honeymoon tour a month ago and left their pups in our care. They were living with us at our mini-mansion that I built for Ariana and I and boy, they were a handful. We had a nanny for all four of them. Matteo, Alpha James’ baby brother thought he was his brother’s son
The Alpha's rejection 88~ Proposal
Ariana I’ve been living in the blackmist pack for three months now and I can attest that it’s much better than the human town. I liked it here. At first, when I learnt that werewolves exist I thought they would be primitive and living like cavemen but they surprised me by being more modern than ordinary humans. The pack was designed like a small town. It had shopping malls, residential homes and a large packhouse where the majority of the wolves stayed. Mostly unmated ones stayed there. Despite the modern setup, the flora and fauna were not tampered with. We were still surrounded by a big forest. On full moon nights, we would go for pack runs which were led by the Alpha and Luna. And then most times, I would go on a love run with Lewis, my mate who had been nothing but lovely ever since I settled here. The only thing I missed from the human town was my aunt Judy. “Can you get me another dress? Where’s the red one I chose earlier? I look good in red.” Zoe asked one of the o
The Alpha's rejection 87~ Baby fever
Lewis I ditched the car and ran to the orphanage since it would be faster that way. The Alpha had already begun running back to the pack after I called him to tell him his Luna had gone into labor. Taking off my clothes, I shifted and carried them in my mouth then I began to run as fast as I could. From the way Ariana kept poking into my mind every second, I knew she was freaking out. ‘Dr. Anthony prepare the Luna’s VIP ward she’s in labor.’ I mind-linked the doctor at the pack’s hospital. ‘What? That’s too soon. I’ll work on it right away.’ I continued to rush forward with Wesley in the lead. Being a beta wolf, he wanted to protect his Alpha’s pups. ‘Lewis! Hurry! I can see a head… oh my God! I don’t know what to do!’ Ariana’s shriek echoed in my head. ‘Calm down baby… You will scare Zoe. Take a few deep breaths and guide her… tell her to push as hard as she can. If the baby stays like that it will suffocate.’ ‘But I’ve never done this before.’ She responded, sounding sc
The Alpha's rejection 86~ New life
Lewis I felt like I was in paradise. At the break of dawn, I opened my eyes and found Ariana sleeping peacefully in my arms with a smile on her face. We were happy. And I hoped it remained so for the rest of our lives. I stroked her curly hair and leaned down, placing a kiss on her forehead. Ariana stirred, scrunching her eyebrows then inched closer to me, burying her face deeper into my chest. Having her back made me whole once again. I wouldn’t have survived without her and to think she had watched me die and had to experience the agony of the bond breaking filled me with intense guilt. That was not something I wanted her to go through. Ever. She had even gone as far as stabbing her heart to perform a dangerous spell to save me. That was the extent of her love for me. I could see it. I could feel it. A love so pure and true. What more can I ask for? I loved her just as much as she loved me and with each passing day that we are together, our bond grows stronger. All
The Alpha's rejection 85~ Back home
Ariana I stared into Lewis’ eyes to check if he was telling the truth. Not that I didn’t believe him. It’s just that with our current situation, even I could come up with any reason that could help us be able to be together. He had just told me about how my mother and his father were childhood friends and that day, he was actually going to save her due to her call for help but unfortunately, he arrived late. “I have proof, baby… I can’t lie to you. You know that.” Lewis said with a pained expression. I cupped his face with my palms and pecked his lips. “I believe you. Even if you made something up I would always believe you.” I said and I meant it. “But I didn’t make it up my love. My father has recordings that you can listen to. I have them on my phone.” He said and took out his phone before I could stop him. We were seated on a two-seater couch in the small sitting room in the cabin after two more rounds of banging each other. I listened to the recording and when I heard
The Alpha's rejection 84~ Seek and you shall find
Lewis “Alpha, I’m leaving. I’ll only come back when I find my mate.” Alpha James raised his brow. “Are you sure? You’re going on a wild goose chase man. She could be anywhere.” Anger surged within me and I growled. “Are you saying I should give up on my mate? No way man… she’s mine and I’ll find her.” “How? By running around aimlessly like a headless chicken? Do you even have a clue where she is? If she doesn’t want to be found, do you think you can find her that easily?” I curled my hand, clenching it into a fist. He was right. I couldn’t just go searching without having a clue about Ariana’s whereabouts but what other choice do I have? Wait for her to calm down and come back on her own? What if she never comes back? What then? Being without her would kill me and my wolf. “I have to find her.” I said in a low voice, sounding defeated. “Come on man. We are wolves. We work smart, not harder. What’s the fastest way of finding someone in our supernatural world without using
The Alpha's rejection 83~ A reason to not be together
Ariana I steeled my heart and chanted the teleporting spell while avoiding making eye contact with Lewis. I just couldn’t bring myself to look into his eyes. If I did, I was afraid I would decide to stay with him. But that was out of the question. Not after what I had found out. I had to leave for my parent's sake. I wouldn’t be able to face them knowing I had stayed with the people who took their life. Lewis just stood there, staring at me. And from my peripheral vision, I could see he was crying. My chest constricted seeing him like that. It hurt more that I had to leave him this way. I was punishing him for his father’s mistakes. It didn’t take long for the spell to take effect. As I was slowly getting sucked in, I snuck a look at Lewis. I wanted to see his enchanting face for one last time. I wanted to have it embedded in my mind forever. But the look of despair on his face crushed my heart. Now I would be stuck with his sad expression for the rest of my life. I shouldn’
The Alpha's rejection 82~ An explanation
Lewis I don’t know how long I had been staring at the spot where Ariana had vanished. My heart just couldn’t accept the fact that she was gone. She had left and this time I’m afraid, it’s forever. With the bad blood between us, there’s no way we could be together. For most of my life, I had never regretted any choices I made. Bad or good. Because I believed if you’re hesitant about something, you would still end up regretting whatever decision you make in the end. You would always ask yourself. What if? Could things have been different? I never wanted this type of uncertainty in my life so I was always decisive. But now, looking back, I deeply regretted bringing my mate to the pack. Perhaps I should have stayed with Ariana in the human town. I would be a CEO and she would do the work she loved. We would go back home together after a busy day at work, cook together, make love and do the same the next day just like normal people do. Most times people take advantage of thi
