Lewis

I could hear her heart racing. She was afraid I would lie to her again. But I wouldn't… I stuttered because I didn't know how to say it.

For the first time in my life, I regretted living a carefree life. I should have been loyal to the mate bond and waited for my mate. It's different for Ariana because she didn't know that her soulmate existed.

Tightening my arms around her, I placed my chin on her head. "I didn't know I had a mate here baby." I said.

"Then you just came to work in the company?"

"No. I left my pack temporarily so I could move on… I thought I loved someone but it was just infatuation." I said truthfully and I heard her heart skip a beat.

Silence followed after I said that, only the sound from the TV and our hearts beating in sync could be heard.

Please say something my love.

"Did you love her very much? Who is she?" Ariana asked in a low voice.

I honestly didn't know how to answer the first question. Did I really love Zoe?

"I thought I did… but whe

  • The Alpha's rejection   34~ The only one for me

    The few seconds that it took Lewis to answer were the most painful seconds of my life. I dreaded his answer. What if he said no? What would I do? I had never felt this nervous before, not even when I was writing my first exam. Lewis sighed and pulled me into his arms, holding me in place when I tried to wriggle free. “Don’t move and listen.” I stayed still, letting his warmth and the sparks calm me down. “I won’t lie to you that I would have loved you at first sight. But after getting to know you… your wonderful personality. You’re kind, hardworking and compassionate. I would have fallen for you even without the mate bond. So please don’t have such thoughts about us. If the bond was taken away from us today, I would still feel the same about you.” I nodded, not knowing what to say. Did I overreact? My thoughts were interrupted when Lewis curled his finger under my chin and tilted my head up. He leaned down and kissed me gently, pouring his love into it and I felt it. It was real.

  • The Alpha's rejection   35~ Support

    Lewis The hatred rolling off Ariana’s aunt was worrying. My stomach turned when she told me to stay away from Ariana. I almost growled and pulled my mate into my arms possessively but I held myself back as I watched Judy pulling her into the house. Ariana motioned for me to wait outside with her eyes just as her aunt banged the door in my face. Fuck… it was like a punch in the face. I never knew I would encounter family drama when trying to claim my mate. I was learning a lot in the human town. Just because you love someone doesn’t mean she’s yours automatically. You need to make effort and looking at my situation… making her family accept you too was a given. A contrast to the werewolf ways. As long as you’re fated mates, your families had no choice but to accept whether they like it or not. I wasn’t complaining though. I would humbly beg mama bear to accept me as Ariana’s mate if I had to. Their voices reached my ears as I stood on the porch... Still a bit taken aback by the tur

  • The Alpha's rejection   36~ Dark room

    Unknown pov "Lora has disappeared, Alpha." The young delta who had just taken over from his late father reported. His body was trembling in fright and he was sweating profusely. Great. He should be scared. Because I was about to rip his heart out for being incompetent. Just like I did to his father weeks ago when he tried to tell me how to lead my pack. Fools. All of them were a bunch of incompetent fools. Why can't anyone do a proper job? One girl… They failed to capture just one weak girl who knows nothing about her powers yet. "And Alistair?" I thundered.. my voice hoarse. "H-he d-disappeared too Alpha-" a loud growl reverberated from my chest as black fur began to sprout on my hands. They were itching to grab someone's pounding heart and squeeze the life out of it. My eyes landed on the omega who was bringing in refreshments. Anger and rage welled up inside me… I was in front of her in a flash, plunging my clawed hand into her chest and ripping her heart out. A loud growl

  • The Alpha's rejection   37~ Winning her over

    Ariana I smiled to myself watching Lewis as he chopped big logs of wood into small pieces for my aunt’s chimney. He was shirtless with only a pair of black shorts on. His muscles flexed as sweat trickled down his chiseled chest. I licked my lips, clamping my legs together. He was yummy, all right. One of a kind. “You like what I’m doing babe?” Lewis suddenly asked after chopping one log into half. He placed the axe on his shoulder and stared at me, his eyes flashing silver. “I can smell you. You’re getting excited.” I gasped, crossing my legs so that my arousal wouldn’t seep out. Heat crept up my face at being caught. Gosh, I had forgotten he had a wolfy nose. Lewis chuckled and returned to what he was doing. We had decided to stay back at my aunt’s place for a few days. I thought she would easily warm up to Lewis but just after that talk, she had returned to being hostile to him. I suggested to Lewis for him to try and win her over and he agreed without hesitation. If I wasn’t

  • The Alpha's rejection   38~ I was wrong

    Lewis I was looking for something else to do in the backyard when I felt Ariana’s restlessness. We may not be marked, but since the bond was growing stronger, I could feel her emotions to some extent. My heart began to race, wondering what could have gone wrong. Was Judy still adamant about asking her to break up with me? A low growl escaped my lips. Ariana is mine and no one can separate us. Suddenly I felt Ariana’s feelings change to that of fear and my stomach twisted. Then I heard her scream of despair. “Lewis!” I ran inside the house at full speed. A strange scent hit my nostrils, making me growl. Wesley perked up, ready to pounce at the threat when I reached the bedroom and kicked the door down. The scene made me see red as a menacing growl reverberated from my chest. I leaped towards the intruder who was holding my mate when a glint made me stop in my tracks. The fucker had a knife and he had pressed it into Ariana’s neck, drawing a little blood. “Stay back…” He hissed

  • The Alpha's rejection   39~ Learning spells

    Ariana I giggled as Lewis held my hand and ran along the hallway rushing to our apartment. He said he couldn’t wait anymore and wanted to have me today. I couldn’t agree more… I mean, he said he wanted our first time to be special but I believe as long as it was him, wherever or whenever we do it would be special. We had just returned from the Countryside and he couldn’t wait for us to reach the top floor. The moment he parked the car, he left the driver’s seat, opened my door and dragged me out, rushing into the building. The way he was rushing made me feel excited and I felt myself clench in anticipation. “Ahhhh,” a squeak left my lips when I was suddenly hoisted up by Lewis and he placed me on his shoulder, carrying me like a sack of potatoes. “You’re too slow. I can’t wait.” He said as he ran and I couldn’t help but feel thrilled. For some reason, I was extra horny today and to be honest I couldn’t wait too. If it were up to me, we would have done it already. Lewis entered

  • The Alpha's rejection   40~ It's him

    Lewis “Are you going to read your mother’s letter?” I asked Ariana, my heart galloping loudly in my chest. Her aunt had emphasized that she should only open the letter when she found the one. I couldn’t help but worry if Ariana thought I was the one for her. If she agreed to read the letter, it was all good, but if she didn’t, it would mean she had doubts about me. After all, we had just started dating. Even though I had told her about the mate bond, it couldn’t be helped that she was raised as a human and decisions about a lifetime partner is not something that humans easily make for fear of making a mistake. To be honest, I was scared. That was why I was in a rush to mate her and make her mine. But her period decided to be a major cock block for me. By now, she would have been writhing under me in pleasure as I sank my teeth into her neck, making her mine forever. ‘If you had listened to me and marked her earlier, we wouldn’t be so anxious right now.’ Wesley complained in my mi

  • 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
