The Rejected Mate's Curse Chapter 1
Turning eighteen was supposed to be the beginning of something powerful, the day my wolf would rise within me and transform my life. All my years as a runt—a frail, insignificant member of the pack—would end, and I’d finally find my place among them. But the only thing that changed this morning was that I woke up to the same empty silence inside, no wolf stirring, no strength or instincts awakening within me. Instead, I forced myself out of bed, threw on my usual worn-out leather jacket, and headed across town to the Sapphire Lounge, the exclusive club where I worked. It wasn’t excitingly attractive, but it paid what it could. I sat discreetly between two sleek buildings, the club was a dark, atmospheric den quiet mostly for the higher-ranking wolves who wanted a place to relax. When humans stumbled upon it by accident, they rarely stayed long, sensing something… predatory. Rick, the owner—a tough wolf with a bald head and a constant scowl—was waiting for me as I came through the

The pain struck hard, sharper than any blade. My chest felt like it was being peeled open, the searing ache cutting deep. Tears blurred my vision, slipping down my cheeks no matter how hard I tried to hold them back. Lisa noticed my distress and laughed, her amusement like salt in a wound. I tried to wipe the tears away, but they kept spilling over, relentlessly.“I-,” I managed to rasp, voice cracking with the weight of the moment. “I accept your rejection.”The bond snapped almost instantly. I saw Tyson’s face twist in pain—just for a second. He hid it quickly, but that flash was enough. Knowing I wasn’t the only one feeling the effects gave me a grim sense of satisfaction.Without another glance, I turned on my heels and ran out of the room, the need to escape overpowering. I didn’t stop until I reached the pack house and slipped into the narrow confines of my small, hidden room—a forgotten storage closet that I had quietly claimed for myself.It was a cramped space, so small that

The early morning sunlight streamed harshly through the cracks in the window, blinding me as I slowly opened my eyes. Every part of my body ached. My muscles protested as I pushed myself off the cold, unforgiving cement floor where I had collapsed last night, exhausted and tear-stained. I could feel the sticky trails left by dried tears on my cheeks, reminders of the sleepless night that had drained every ounce of strength out of me.I forced myself upright, though my knees wobbled and my head spun. I wanted nothing more than to stay hidden in my room, to bury myself in the covers and pretend the world didn’t exist. But I didn’t have that luxury. I needed to work—I needed the money. And even if I somehow managed to get out of work, I would have to come up with an excuse. I couldn’t tell them the truth…that Tyson had shattered me in every way possible.Gritting my teeth, I made my way to the bathroom. I grabbed a bucket, and a rag, and filled it with water, forcing myself to return to

I ran as if my life depended on it because, in many ways, it did. My lungs were on fire, each breath feeling like a jagged knife was carving its way down my throat. Branches lashed at my face, scratching my skin raw, but I barely felt it. My mind was on one overwhelming command: "run, just running".The mere thought of Tyson finding me sent another wave of adrenaline coursing through my veins. Tyson—the Alpha, the one I had once trusted, the one who now saw me as his favorite punching bag, his easy target. I could only imagine the kind of punishment he'd come up with for me if he caught me. His pride would be wounded, his rage unbearable. Running from Tyson was not just a physical act; it was rebellion, and he wouldn’t take it lightly.But the real horror lay not just in him. If the pack thought I’d fled because I had something to hide, they’d hound me for answers, strip me of whatever fragile peace I’d managed to carve out over the years. That nightmare kept my legs moving, driving m

Just as if something had come over them, the guards hurried to unlock my cell. One of them slipped his hand under my arm, lifting me a little too quickly. I barely had time to get my balance or adjust my shoe, so when my feet hit the ground, all my weight pressed directly on the bruised, raw skin of my heel, and I couldn’t help but wince.I didn’t expect anyone to notice, but apparently, my… mate did. He growled low, a sound that rumbled in the air and sent a chill through me."Did you hurt her?" he demanded, his eyes sharp on the guard, who immediately shook his head, looking nervous. “No, Alpha, we didn’t touch her—I swear.”My mate—still strange to think of him that way—glared at the guard, his gaze dark and intense. Then, without a word, he strode into the cell, sweeping me into his arms like it was the most natural thing in the world. I went stiff in shock, my whole body locked up, and I couldn’t seem to relax. He must have noticed, but I couldn’t meet his gaze; it was too clos

I stared at Ryker longer than I expected, struggling to process what he’d just said. In two minutes, he’d managed to tell me he didn’t want me yet intended to keep me here regardless. Trying to make sense of his reasoning made my head throb, and I had to fight the urge to beg him to reject me and put an end to this awkward pretense. “Why?” I finally blurted out, the word slipping past my defenses. Instant regret surged through me as his sharp gaze settled on mine, intense and unyielding, making me quickly look down at the tiled floor. I counted the tiles in silence, waiting for his response. “You showed up at my pack looking like you’d lost a fight, and as you mentioned, you don’t have a wolf—meaning you can’t heal yourself.” His voice was calm but deliberate. “Even if you weren’t my mate, I wouldn’t let you leave in that condition. It would be... cruel.” “I meant... why won’t you reject me?” He opened his mouth, closed it, and then finally said, “Because I don’t want to.” We

I couldn’t sleep all night. Tossing and turning, I lay in the massive bed that seemed too soft, too unfamiliar. Finally, I pulled the blankets to the floor, wrapping myself there, hoping it might feel closer to the small, rough bed I was used to. But even then, sleep stayed away as though I were in a race with it, one I was destined to lose. The night felt like a strange paradox—both dragging and fleeting. The stars hung for what seemed an eternity, but the first light of dawn felt like it arrived far too soon. And when it did, my stomach tightened, reminding me that today would be decisive. Whatever Ryker had planned for me would start to unfold. In the early morning silence, I heard footsteps stop outside my door. My heart pounded in my chest, and I didn’t dare breathe. The steps paused for a heartbeat too long, then retreated. Only after they faded completely did I let out the breath I’d been holding and scrambled back into the bed, desperately straightening the blankets on the

I stayed away from Ryker for the rest of the week. Well, I stayed away as much as I could, considering I was living under his roof and we crossed paths in every corridor. He was everywhere, watching me, making sure I didn’t slip away, even when I was alone. He never let me out of his sight, whether it was during meals when I moved about the house, or even when I tried to retreat to my room. He sat with me at the table, his gaze heavy and always on me, as if waiting for some misstep, for some sign that I might harm myself.A week. Seven long days were spent locked away in this strange place, and I still couldn’t tell if I was more terrified of Ryker or less than when I had first arrived. His silence about our bond, our connection, left my mind spinning. I didn’t know whether it was because he simply didn’t care or because he was too calculating to reveal his thoughts. I was too afraid to ask about it, and it hung between us like a looming storm, waiting to strike.A part of me—just a s

Ryker’s POVThe ride back to the palace was a blur. My focus never left Camilla, her fragile form cradled against me. Every few seconds, I checked her breathing, each faint rise and fall of her chest granting me a shred of hope. Her lips were still pale, her skin cold to the touch. My heart pounded as if to replace the life slipping from her.By the time we reached the palace, the physician’s son was already waiting with Christine near the back entrance. They’d cleared the area, ensuring privacy. A rare blessing, considering how fast rumors traveled. For once, I didn’t care what the court would say—what I needed was peace, just long enough to save her.We carried her straight to the physician’s chambers, her weight unnervingly light in my arms. The room, usually ominous with the remnants of others’ suffering, felt emptier than usual. A small mercy. Gently, we laid her on the bed.The physician immediately began his examination, his hands steady, his expression unreadable. I lingered n

The guards scrambled to do as instructed, and I led the physician off to a quieter corner of the woods, away from prying eyes. I had a sinking feeling in my gut that the worst was still to come. I watched him carefully as he glanced around, ensuring no one could overhear. Then, in a low voice, he spoke.“I think it’s the same vampire who did this,” he said quietly. “The scene—it looks like they lost control, like a frenzy. But... no. It wasn’t a frenzy. It was a clean cut. This wasn’t done with teeth. Whoever did this knew exactly whatthey were doing.”“What are you saying?” I asked, trying to process what he was telling me.“I’m saying this is no random act,” he said, voice tinged with unease. “This is deliberate. Whoever did this... they’re playing a game. And we don’t even know what the rules are yet.”My chest tightened. A game? A vampire, toying with us? I sighed heavily, rubbingmy temple. “Thank you for your help.”He nodded grimly before walking away, leaving me to my

I stood alone. Outnumbered. Helpless. My breath caught in my throat, but I refused to show fear. If I was going to die here, I wouldn’t go down without a fight.“What do you want from me?” I demanded, my voice shaking only slightly. “Is thishow you get my attention?”Alastair’s eyes gleamed with dark amusement. “Yes and no,” he said with a shrug.“Living for centuries gets boring, you know? Sometimes, you need something to entertain you.”One of his vampires moved so fast I could barely track him. Before I knew it, I was shoved into a stone chair. My heart raced as I struggled to control my breathing, but there was no use. I was trapped. Alastair leaned in, his fingers curling around a lock of my hair, twisting it between his fingers. I didn’t flinch, even though my body screamed at me to fight back.“Don’t bother trying,” he said with a smirk, clearly reading the fear I was trying to suppress. “When you’ve lived as long as I have, you make a few... connections. This cave i

CAMILLA'S P.O.V.“I mean you no harm,” I called out, my voice steady but trembling inside. The vampire before me made no move to step out of the shadows. “I only want to see your king.”He let out a chilling laugh, one that echoed through the trees. “Not many live to make such a request. Our king does not entertain visitors, nor does he tolerate them.” The tension in the air thickened as the guards around me tightened their formation, their eyes scanning the surroundings. I stood my ground, lifting my chin with resolve. “My name is Camilla. I’m the Queen of the wolves. Your king should want to speak with me. I wouldn’t be here unless it was of utmost importance.”There was a long pause, the kind of silence that makes your heartbeat feel too loud. I thought, for a moment, he wouldn’t respond at all, until he finally did.“I know who you are,” he said, his voice dangerously calm. “He’s been expecting you. But we didn’t know you'd come with guards of your own.”I couldn’t supp

"This isn’t your fault. It’s not theirs, either. The blame lies with the vampire who did this.”I sighed, my breath shaky. “But he won’t stop. He’s not just going to go away. We need to stop him before someone else is lost.”Ryker didn’t answer, but his silence spoke volumes. He didn’t need to say anything; he understood. I felt his fingers tighten around me as if to say he was with me, always. “We will stop him,” he finally said. “But it’s taking longer than we thought. One of us should be there to comfort them.”Before I could say anything, Ryker was already walking toward the grieving family. I watched him approach them, his actions so gentle. He wasn’t supposed to touch them—protocol, duty, all that—but Ryker didn’t care about that. He cared about people. He didn’t need to say anything; his presence, his warmth, said everything. And for a moment, I felt a sense of pride. I admired him so much. He deserved to be King far more than I deserved to be Queen.As I watched him
The Rejected Mate's Curse Chapter 95
CAMILLA'S POVThe moment we stepped into the hidden library, I was struck by how massive it was. The shelves stretched up high, way beyond my reach, nearly brushing againstthe ceiling. It felt like I had stumbled into a world all on its own, tucked away in a secret corner of the palace. The air was cool, the kind of chill that made you wrap yourself tighter in your thoughts, as if the place had been untouched for centuries. It wasn’t the usual smell of books—this place smelled ancient, like time itself had settled into the worn scrolls and parchment that lined the shelves. Each text seemed delicate, almost fragile, and I hesitated totouch anything as if the weight of history would crumble beneath my fingers. Ryker had spent hours here, and honestly, I couldn’t blame him. I wasalmost afraid to leave.The flickering torches on the walls cast a series of shadows across the room, their flames dancing in the still air. Even with the windows closed, a faint breeze swirled aroun
The Rejected Mate's Curse Chapter 94
Camilla's POVIcouldn’t help but feel a strange emptiness as the day wore on. Ryker had vanished, and I honestly thought I’d be relieved to have some time away from thegrueling training sessions. But the more I tried to distract myself, the more I missed him. It was odd. I even searched for him, scouring the entire palace. I asked every guard I passed, but no one had seen him. It was as if he’d vanished completely.Eventually, I retired to my room, hoping he might return by the time I fell asleep. I clung to that small hope, even as the night stretched on in quiet solitude. But when morning came, I knew instantly he hadn’t returned. His side of the bed was untouched, still cold. The sense of abandonment stung more than Iwanted to admit.I spent the morning searching for him, even before training began. My efforts were in vain, though. It was as if the world had swallowed him whole. I couldn’tshake the uneasy feeling that something was wrong, but I had no way to prove it.Ch
The Rejected Mate's Curse Chapter 93
CAMILLA’S POVBeing caught between people I loved was suffocating. Riley had been my friend for years, and Damien, Ryker’s best friend, had become like a brother to me. But Christine—Christine was my cousin, my family, the one person I trusted to stand by my side no matter what. Loyalty tugged me in two directions, and I hated that I would inevitably have to pick a side. Ryker had made me promise to stay out of it, insisting it wasn’t my battle to fight. I gave him my word, but my heart whispered that staying neutral might already be a betrayal.Over the past two days, Christine had withdrawn into herself. She moved like a ghost through the palace, haunting the hallways and avoiding meals. When Damien entered a room, she slipped out like smoke, leaving only a heavy silence behind. She spent her hours locked away with the children, her only refuge. I couldn’t help but feel relieved when I heard that Damien and Riley would be leaving soon. Maybe then, the tension that clung to the palac
The Rejected Mate's Curse Chapter 92
CHRISTINE’S P.O.VI wasn’t mad at Ryker—at least, not really. My frustration wasn’t about him. It was about the mess we were all tangled in, and the bitter truth that no amount of logic or detachment could keep me from feeling the sting of rejection. It was easier to channel my resentment toward him than confront the ache simmering under my skin—an ache born of loving a man who had given his heart to someone else.“Christine, wait!” A voice called after me, but I ignored it, pushing my legs to carry me faster. My chest tightened with every step.I didn’t have a destination. All I knew was that I needed to be anywhere but here—anywhere but trapped between Damien’s unreadable glances and Riley’s painfully genuine kindness. If she had been cruel, it would have been easier. But she wasn’t. She was everything good and selfless, and the weight of my anger had no place to land.A hand gripped my arm, halting my escape. I spun around, half expecting to see Camilla, but Ryker’s sharp gaze bore
