Richard’s POV:

I finished speaking, and the way that Darren frowned down at his whiskey tumbler made me feel apprehensive as well.

“That Hunter guy… I know him. He’s a family man,” Darren stated.

I had just been telling him about the visit of this morning, and how my trip to the Evans household had shed a new light on some things.

I had no doubts in my head now that sooner or later, Elise and the rest of her family would come to know about Arielle and her past with Leon Walker, the Rogue.

And if word got out to the Elders before I could even introduce Arielle as my mate and the future Luna… then it was going to be bad.

“So what are you going to do?” My best friend, my beta and my current drinking partner asked me.

I shook my head; to me now, there was no way around it.

I was going to have to introduce Arielle as soon as possible, to the Pack Elders and to the majority of the Pack, as the future Luna and my mate.

  • The Rejected Doctor   Announcement

    Arielle’s POV:I didn’t feel ready.I felt numb, like how one prepared themselves for an execution. Richard sent me back to my home to go freshen up; essentially, I needed to dress up as nicely as possible. After all, the pack members attending tonight’s meeting needed to get a good first impression of their future Luna, and I needed to make a good first impression, and sway the minds of our people. All this, so that Elise and her chaos-causing self wouldn’t turn the minds of the people against me.I put on a white jumpsuit - one of my favorite items of clothing - and a pair of designer boots, which I had gotten myself as a medical school graduation present.Having styled my hair as much as I could, I felt a little bit better. Still, it didn’t stop the lead in my stomach from dropping and digging in deeper as Richard’s voice could be heard through the mind link that we shared.‘It’s time, angel,’ he had said.I took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly out through my mouth. I repeated

  • The Rejected Doctor   Damage Done

    Richard’s POV:Now that they knew, I knew that there was nothing standing in our way.My thumb rested over Arielle’s palm, as we stood side by side, in full view of the pack.I noticed the way that the Pack Elders for once didn’t have their eyes on me. Instead, their eyes were trained on my mate, in Arielle.And she was tense too, feeling the weight of their gazes, of everyone’s eyes on us.But that was part of being Alpha and Luna of the Pack. It was a sacreifoce I had made a long time ago. I didn’t have much oin the way of privacy when it came to the pack. I was their leader and had to always conduct myself as such even when I was conducting personal business that had nothing to do with them.And now, Arielle would have to learnt he same.Luckily, she had me to guide her, unlike the to me my father died and I was alone with no one to show me what to do.‘Richard,’ I heard Arielle’s voice now for the first time ever since she entered the auditorium. It was skat and I could tell just

  • The Rejected Doctor   Miscalculations

    Richard’s POV:I couldn’t believe what the Elders had told me to do.It was a simple ultimatum.And it was one that spelt the death of either my relationship with Arielle, or my time as Alpha of the Redding Pack.They had asked me to reject Arielle, or lose my title as Alpha of the Pack. What was it that I could do against them?It was infuriating; I felt like tearing my hair out with the way that everything was just seemingly being against us.Even my explanations that Leon and Arielle had not had a mating ceremony and that he had rejected her a long time ago, didn’t help in whatever way. It was the only plan, the risk that I took, and it had not paid off.Now here I was, watching my mate in restless slumber. She looked beautiful still, but I could the by the way her face looked so pale, that she had spent all her energy in crying.Lilian was not around, having gone to find some clothes for her to wear. We were in Darren’s and her home after all. It was the closest place to the Hall w

  • The Rejected Doctor   Escape from the Pack

    Arielle’s POV:I was hiding, I admitted it.I had barely managed to keep still until everyone left the room I was in, which turned out to be in Lilian’s and Darren’s home. I was just waking up from my restless sleep when I overheard everything.And it was too much for me to bear.I was such a weakling, I didn’t care anymore about hiding it.If Richard had to choose between me and his title as Alpha, then I was not meant to be in the picture. Not like this.Hearing the anguish in my mate’s voice, that he couldn’t choose between keeping his pack and reputation, or keeping me, I knew that I had to be the one to help him choose.That was why I had to leave.I bit my lips as I walked close to the shadows, it wanting anyone to see me at this time of night. I had even gone to the lengths to cover my red habit, knowing that it would be a dead giveaway to anyone who spotted me as to my true identity.It was a testament to my training from Lilian, that I was able to control my body so as to n

  • The Rejected Doctor   Catching Her

    Richard’s POV:I was at her heels, chasing hotly through the forest. My focus was on Arielle and only her - her scent, her heartbeat, her.After Lilian had discovered her missing from the bed we had left her in sleeping, it hadn’t taken me long to rush to the clinic to check her room if she was there. I wish that I had been able to find her there, but all I got was nothing. An empty room which made me growl in frustration and anger.My mate had run from me and this was my fault. I just knew it.It had taken me a lot more time than I ever wished to admit to figure out that the traces of her scent were more recent than this morning. She had been here just now, I realized, in her room.And that was what led me to the forest.Tracing her scent with my high senses on alert, I found that they led to the forest.It didn’t take me long to figure out what was going on.Arielle had run.She was leaving.And that, I could never allow, not until my dying breath.I transformed into my wolf form an

    Arielle’s POV I was spent.I was done.I needed things to be over, and Richard needed to see that.Yet as his lips melded together with mine, I found it hard to resist him and his damned reason.My tears had long been shed, and though my cheeks were wet and I was shaking, I wasn’t down for the count.We parted suddenly and he was breathing as hard as I was. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.Then Richard spoke.“You know, you say the pack cannot afford to lose me. The pack needs me. And that I’m a good Alpha,” he breathed out with a husky voice. “But all I hear is you.”I sniffled, fresh tears prickling my eyes at his words.He was right and I knew it.He held me close to his chest, his strong arms around my waist and lifting my chin up to look into his eyes, oh so gently.“You need me, angel. You cannot afford to lose me. And I cannot afford to lose you. I cannot let you go, no matter what you say, and no matter how much you beg. I may be a good Alpha. But now

  • The Rejected Doctor   Restless Alpha

    Richard’s POV I was unsettled by it all.“You haven’t even sat down since you returned,” Darren noted, still in my study at the dead of night. It was already nearing midnight and yet I couldn’t rest.“I left her there, Darren. I don’t think it’s safe out there for her. Yet she wouldn’t understand,” I bit out, impatient.I kept pacing the length of my study.It had been an hour already since I left Arielle, my mate standing there in the forest. She refused my help, yet I gave it, helping her find a good clearing where she could settle in and rest. Yet that wasn’t enough.“If only she would just agree to come back,” I growled under my breath.Apparently my best friend heard it, for he snorted.I aimed a glare at his face, and he raised his two hands up in surrender.“Hey man,” he said in defense, “you know how she is, and how stubborn she can get. I think she’s trying to just cover all bases at this point. The main thing is that she’s safe and we can find her. At least she’s isn’t far

    Richard’s POV “What the hell are you doing here?” It was Darren that said something immediately he spotted the girl that had been the cause of all this chaos that was going on. “Haven’t you had enough of us? Or didnyou come here to be insulted?”Darren looked angrier than most people had ever seen him, and I felt pride at my best friend who was more like a brother to me, and the way he rose up in defense of myself and Arielle.Elise paled at Darren’s words and his look, and she hesitated in taking any more steps into the study.“Well?” I asked, after she was silent, and her eyes flickered to meet mine. “Clearly you’re here for a reason. It better not be something that’s going to waste my time. You may not know the meaning of hard work, but the rest of us do.”A flash of anger morphed her features and she scowled at the both of us.“I just came here to talk to you. It’s important, I promise, and it won’t waste your time,” she said, before turning to Darren who still was glaring dagger

    KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he

I assure you, it's going to be better than the first, and all my errors I have duly noted. I need your support, vote, comment, and everything you can do. Thank you so much for always being there for me. It might be slow, not fast paced like any other books but I assure you, it's very good. CHAPTER ONE A knock on the door disrupted her sleep, causing her brows to crease as she rolled to the other side of the bed. She scrunched her eyes up, trying to get back to her sleep when another series of knocking came after. “Hmm.” She groaned out, her hand fumbling on the bed as she reached for the blanket, throwing it over herself and acting cozy inside of it. “You have to open the door princess,” she heard her maid say from the door, causing the frown on her face to deepen.

    Richard’s POV:This is how it ends.I transformed back to my human form, my chest bare.I looked around me, watching the Rogues being tied down around me. The death of Leon had caused an immediate and drastic drop in morale. The Rogues didn’t fight anymore, allowing themselves to be chained.Among them, were the Evans family too. They had been brought out by the warriors as per my orders.The night was still as I stood in the center of such chaos.I never knew silence could be quite this deafening.“The battle is over,” I said, looking around me with steely eyes to my tired warriors, but still victorious. I felt satisfaction in seeing all the familiar faces around me. Not many of them fell, to my joy. “We will dispose of the traitors today and rebuild our pack. This victory isn’t anything but a symbol of our strength, and our unity. For in our unity,” I rolled my shoulders back and raised my voice even louder. “We will never fall.”The cheers of my warriors were enough to dare me, and

    “No! No! Father, you can’t do this to me! You can’t do this!” A tiny voice cried out, her voice echoing through the four corners of the room.“Stand up!” A loud voice boomed through her ears and ran through her body, causing her to hold her tears.He stood up from his throne, all tall and authoritative. The royal staff in his hand touched the ground and silenced everyone in the room. He studied his steps casually, walking towards her and sending streams of shivers down her spine.“Stand up!” He ordered.She didn’t need to be told twice. She scrambled up immediately, balancing her feet and lowering her head to the ground. He raised his hand to her, and she recoiled at the thought of him hitting her head, “Stacey, you’re nothing but a weak wolf. And your presence in this pack is not needed. I regret the day I gave birth to you. And today is one of my happiest days in this pack, to finally see that you have a use for me.” He said without mercy.She clenched her fist so hard her nails pie

    Arielle’s POV:I felt so helpless, slowly walking towards the nearest safe house and holding a slowly bleeding Darren.The unconscious Beta groaned out loud and i bit my lip, looking down at him and adjusting my sweaty grip on him.“Don’t worry, Darren,” I said, feeling somewhat crazy to be speaking to an unconscious man. “I’ll get you help. You’re going to be fine,” my voice broke.Tears came to my eyes as I continued to step forward. Just one step forward I told myself.Oh great goddess, please help me. A tear slipped down my cheek as I thought of what Lilian would say to me if she saw her mate like this. I couldn’t do this to her. Please Darren be alright, i pleaded in my mind.“Arielle?” It was Ethan@/ voice that made me look up. Our eyes met and I felt small as he ran over to me, his own eyes wide with shock. “What happened to him?”“What do you think?” My voice sounded bitter and rough as I responded. Guilt and remorse filled my body all of a sudden as I saw Ethan look down. “I’

    Richard’s POV:I was running with fury at the forefront of my mind.I was such an idiot. I had made so much mistakes in the past few days.Now I had made the worst mistake.I had left my pack alone, at such an important time. Now they were being attacked.“Two of you go to the west gate and see what’s happening,” I ordered two of the swiftest warriors in my team.They nodded in unison and were off. We kept on going on our journey, and I began to feel dizzy for a second.At once I felt a burning sensation in my throat, as well as a sting on my arm. Then, a slash at my throat. My hands flew to check my Throat and found it unblemished.I was feeling the pain from my pack members.‘and it was a lot. I know fact, it was too much.I groaned out loud, trying to not let my sounds of pain get heard by anyone. I needed to get to the pack immediately.I could only hope that Darren had managed to stave off the worst of the attack I now knew that Leon was behind.Saying a small prayer to the moon g

    Arielle’s POV:My heart was pounding as I said those words to my mate. In my mind it was like the world had come down on me. The alarm bells blares in my ears like a war gong, and I was left feeling helpless and lost.In reality, I was still in my office, with Meera looking meekly away from the glares of either myself or Ethan.Richard’s words came through the mind link that we shared.‘What’s going on, love? And I’m on my way. It was a trap,’ he sounded regretful, and there was a tinge of disgust punctuating his words. What had happened to make him sound like that?‘A trap?’ So this had all been planned.‘Elise and Hunter are working with the Rogues. They’re working with Leon. I think he may be on his way there now,’ he sounded like he was running while he spoke.I swallowed, the anxiety coming back in droves. Oh great goddess.In a shaky tone I replied to my mate, ‘I think he’s here right now. The alarm bells have been going off for nearly thirty minutes now.’ I paused. ‘What should

    Richard’s POV:We made our way through the shortcut that Falcon had proposed.Darren and I had quickly met with him when the team was put together, and we had decided that we would be taking that route. I didn’t think that it was certainly a trap or anything but it didn’t hurt to be prepared and use the element of surprise on our side.However much I wanted to believe that things would go smoothly with Elise and Hunter, some part of me knew that it was somehow doomed from the start. Of course I couldn’t just come out and say thy to everyone, so I kept silent. I think it was my serious expression that gave away that I was brooding, for none of my men spoke to me or questioned me at any point in time.Luckily for us that was what saved us. We were near the presumed location of Elise and Hunter and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.I heard a twig snap and my ears picked up at the sound of it. Someone was in front of us.“Stop,” I called out. Everyone of my warriors fell silent imm
