The moment his lips touched mine, I froze in shock. Then quickly pushed him away when I came back to my senses and gave him a hard slap on his face.
His cheek immediately swelled with five red fingerprints as I had applied more force in the slap due to anger.
The nerve of this man?
“Zoe… I … I’m sorry. I don’t know why I did that,” Lewis apologized, rubbing his cheek.
“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you tell that I’m mated?” I asked him as irritation flashed through me. I hated being kissed against my will so I wiped my lips.
“I know, I’m sorry. I lost my mind for a moment there. Can you not tell James? Please?” he pleaded and I sighed. That’s not something I can keep to myself.
“Lewis, I’m sorry but I have to tell him,” I said and his heart started racing. “Better still, you tell him first,” I advised and Lewis nodded. Sadness and guilt rolling off him in waves.
I didn’t even know his feelings had reached to this ext

James I pretended to sleep as Zoe awoke and changed into her training attire, trying to be quiet so as not to wake me up. She left for her morning run and I decided to follow her so that we could run together. I wanted to surprise her with an abrupt appearance. Waiting for her to leave the mansion, I got up and put on grey shorts and a white vest. I left the mansion but bumped into my father on my way out. “Morning dad,” I greeted him. He had a huge grin on his face as he responded. “Mmmmm the morning is good indeed. How’s my newly mated son doing? What does Zoe’s mark look like?” He asked smiling, clearly in a good mood. “Dad c’mon,” I groaned. He liked asking for details as if he was my best friend. Anyway he was.. it’s always been him and I. “It’s a black wolf standing like a man, howling towards the moon,” I said, scratching my neck. The mark confused me too, Tyler didn’t look like that at all. I saw it last night a
The Alpha's rejection 36~ Luna Ceremony
Zoe A week had passed by since my kidnapping incident. I had a small talk with my father. He wanted me to take over as Alpha of the white mist pack and combine it with the black mist pack. But I refused, I told him he could have another child with his new love interest. To my surprise, he refused and said he only loves my mother. I felt kind of sad for him though. Me moving away will make him lonely. He also told me to look out for the next full moon. He wasn’t saying more but he said he had a hunch something would happen to James. Those words confused me and gave me anxiety knots in my stomach. What would happen to James on the next full moon? Was it life threatening? I had all these unanswered questions and my father didn’t seem to want to let on, on what he knew. Things with James were perfect. We would have our usual cute banter here and there. But I loved how he always tried to compromise knowing how headstrong I could be.

James “Zoe,” I said with a trembling voice while holding her shaking body in my arms. She suddenly had a panic attack after looking at something on her phone. It had been 5 minutes and she’s still shaking. Each jerk of her body sending pangs to my chest. Why was she like this? I laid her on the bed and hugged her tightly, trailing soft kisses on her body and whispering sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down. It seemed to work as she had finally stopped shaking but was still unconscious with beads of sweat on her forehead. I covered her up with a duvet and picked up the phone she had dropped on the rug. She had showed me the pattern to unlock her phone with so I drew the pattern, unlocking it and immediately saw red when I read the message she had received. Rage and anger flashed through me and I clenched my fists tightly, drawing blood as my elongated nails dug into my skin. Who the hell is D and why would he thre
The Alpha's rejection 38~ Her story
Zoe I woke up to tingles and sparks rushing through my body as James planted light hot kisses along my jaw, trailing his kisses to my neck and sucking on my mark, sending jolts of electricity to my core. “Mmmmmm,” I mumbled a moan, parting my lips and James immediately claimed my lips into a sizzling kiss, nibbling and sucking my bottom lip. He plunged his tongue into my mouth and I kissed him back in my sleepy daze. Our tongues rolled around each other, fighting for dominance. I bit his lip and he grunted, his dick throbbing against my thigh. Slowly pulling away from the kiss, James looked down at me and pecked my lips twice. “Morning cupcake,” he said huskily and I felt my core throb. How could he still be appealing this early in the morning? “Morning baby,” I croaked, my voice coming out hoarser than normal. “How did you sleep?” He asked, still leaning on his side and looking at me lovingly. My heart raced and filled

James “Yeah, so… that’s my story,” Zoe said with a loud sigh and I tightened my arms around her. The pain and anger I was feeling could be not be expressed by words alone. That Duncan guy was lucky he was dead otherwise, I would have hunted him down and killed him myself. I thought I was in pain before but what my cupcake went through was so heartbreaking. No wonder she couldn’t trust anyone anymore and just wanted her mate. But I fucked up as well in the beginning. There’s no excuse, I fucking hurt her. I’m just glad I came back to my senses before it was too late. “You don’t have to feel bad about it Jay. It’s all in the past,” Zoe said, throwing her head back on my chest and I leaned in, pecking her plump pink lips. “It’s in the past but I can’t help but get angry. I’m sure people judged you for being cold, not knowing what you went through in the hands of someone you trusted,” I said, each word piercing my heart like a double-edged
The Alpha's rejection 40~ Link broken
Zoe “Oh Jay! Yes!!!!” I screamed out as an earth-shattering orgasm tore through me and I trembled, burying my face on the bed. James grabbed onto my hips and thrust faster and deeper, the sound of skin slapping on skin echoed in the room as he chased his own release. I was on all fours on the bed with my round ass up in the air as James took me roughly from behind. “Fuck!” He groaned and shot his load in me, spanking my ass as he made slow movements to ride out his orgasm. “You’re so sweet cupcake, I can’t get enough of you,” he said huskily as he slid out of me and turned me around, giving me a passionate kiss. “Me too, why don’t you just stay home? I have a bad feeling about this,” I said. A sense of foreboding had risen up in me since I found out James was going to follow some leads of where the rogue king might be. “Don’t worry baby, trust your mate. I can hold my own,” he said and I sighed. I just couldn’t shake away the e
The Alpha's rejection 41~ Loss
Zoe My heart felt like it had been ripped out of my chest. No… James… the explosion sound. He’s ok…right? My heart hammered rapidly against my ribcage. My chest felt heavy and my heart felt like it had jumped into my throat. I did not want to think about who’s pack link had broken. I had to find James first…. I needed to confirm…. No!!!!! “Zee babes, what’s wrong?” Tiffany’s voice echoed in my ears but I could barely bring myself to pay attention to her. “I need to ….I need to go.. Tiff,” I said, clutching Tiffany’s clothes as my eyes blurred with tears. “Hey.. breathe.. Zoe.. tell me. Why are you like this?” She inquired but I muttered incoherently, not able to form full sentences. The pang in my chest was suffocating…. A thought flashed through my mind and I came back to my senses. Picking up my phone, I dialed James’s line but only got an automatic recorded voice, saying it’s switched off. My
The Alpha's rejection 42~ Her first duty
Zoe I had the most frightful ride I had ever had in my life as the car drove along the route to the south. My heart thudded and tugged painfully at the thought of the possibility of James being…. No!! Negative thoughts aside! He’s still alive! The mate bond had not broken. Whose pack link was that for then? Someone in the pack? ‘Are you just in denial or you don’t really know?’ Chloe asked sharply. She was irritated because wolf sprits get connected to other members in a pack. Especially since she’s an Alpha wolf. ‘The disconnection was painful so it was someone of high rank,' she added weakly and tears streamed down my cheeks. Jericho…. My wolf Chloe was right. Deep down, I knew who may have passed. It was just hard to accept that a promising young man was no more. Why was death so unfair…. taking away good people while villains like the rogue king and his minions were left alive, terrorizing innocents.

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
