Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter One: The Wolf Without Love
"I despise this hellhole I'm in, my cruel uncle, and his family," I cursed as I hurriedly swept the hall's floor.As I did so, I kept checking the clock on the wall. I had 45 minutes left to prepare for the mating ceremony.Turning 21 a week ago, I was ready to find my mate.For a wolf, finding their mate means meeting their other half. But for me, it's more than that. It is knowing what love is for the first time, never experiencing it, and calling a place home with my mate.With 30 minutes left, I rushed for the already-prepared map and bucket, completing my 50th chore of the day: mapping the floor.The morning my uncle's wicked mate, Allison, gave me the long to-do list, I had a hunch she was trying to prevent me from attending the mating ceremony on time. Why? I had no clue. I assumed she would be as excited to see me leave as I am to escape this prison. I guess when you're evil, your every intention is.As I mapped as quickly as possible, beads of sweat rolled down my face, and I
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Two: Surprised Who My Mate Is
Disappointedly, Alpha Bolin looked at me. Momentarily, tears started flowing from my eyes. I knew there would never be a future with him. I was without a wolf and was too weak to be his mate, let alone to be his Luna, the second powerful ruler of the pack.As Alpha Bolin walked toward me, with every step he took, I felt my life fall apart, aware of what he was about to do.Alpha Bolin was supposed to be my hope for a better life, and now he wasn't. How was I supposed to live without him?"What's your name?" Alpha Bolin posed this question as he stood before me, prepared to reject me.He had to ask because I was without a wolf, and his wolf couldn't spiritually link to me to know my name without me telling him.I tried to speak, but my words failed me."What's your name?" he asked angrily, shouting this time."Melonie Starling," I say, frightened by his shout."Melonie Starling, I, Bolin Crescent, reject you as my rightful mate." His jawline tightened, and his arms rolled into a tight f
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Three: The Wolf Without a Mate
Even though a rejection should end our bonds and ease the pain of losing my mate, I still feel a connection to Alpha Bolin. Alpha Bolin was not only my fated mate but also my every hope.For two days, I'd hopelessly remained in the spot where he'd rejected me, wishing what had happened to me to be a nightmare that I kept pinching myself to wake up from this horrible dream until I was left with purple bruises. I was already awake, and what had happened to me did. My mate rejected me, destroying every hope I had for him.Who would take away the loneliness I had been carrying for many years? and give me a home free from insults and abuse, and let me know how it feels to be loved. All I know is being sad, alone, and miserable, for that is what I've always known.It was time to return to my uncle's home. I cried as I sat up. I never once imagined I would return there after finding my mate, but dolefully, I am.Unlike me, I assume Addison was fortunate to have her mate. Everything seemed to
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Four: Why Is The Alpha Here?
Uncle Linus had been the Alpha's family accountant for many years; it was the first time I'd seen him visit his home. I was confident that the Alpha had arrived for me.I secretly watched the Alpha as my uncle stood before him. The casual clothes—a white shirt and grey pants—I remembered meeting him under the full moon. He's now dressed business-like, wearing a black suit with a white inner shirt, a shiny silver watch, and leather shoes, and his short jet-black hair is neatly combed backward, revealing more of his handsome face."Let us wait in the living room," said Uncle Linus to the Alpha."I have no interest in sitting down but to see her now," the Alpha retorted. His voice was deep, and my heart skipped a beat, even more confident that he was truly here for me.I felt every hope I'd lost return as I was about to go to my mate. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my left arm. I spun around, frightened, and shocked to see Allison. She pulled me towards her, squeezing my arm in the process. M
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Five: The Alpha's Luna
Alpha Bolin looked back at me, and tears began to form in my eyes. He then turned his head away, caring less about how I felt that he'd chosen my cousin to be his Luna, two days after rejecting me. His hands, which were still around my waist and holding one of my hands, moved away.It was hard to take in what I'd just heard, but the sight of Addison descending the stairs in a long, flowy summer white dress with her face shimmering with makeup demonstrated to the alpha that she was not only with a wolf but also had the beautiful quality of a true luna, which I completely feel I lack. I immediately fled the house with tears rolling down my eyes, rejected not once but twice by him.I thought the first rejection was painful until I witnessed him choosing the one who had made my life so miserable as his Luna and his mate.I ran angrily into the woods, feeling so foolish to believe that the Alpha was ever here for me.Not realizing where I was going, I tripped over a branch on the ground, hi
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Six: Where Am I?
Alpha Bolin was the dark shadow that picked me up from the ground before I passed out in the woods. I continued to walk the hallway, flabbergasted. As I kept on remembering, I could see his face becoming clearer within the flashback.I want to believe that Alpha Bolin cares about me the way I do about him; that's why he saved me, but I don't want to end up destroyed again. Alpha Bolin is the pack's leader. His role was to protect us. He didn't save me because he felt anything for me; he saved me just like any Alpha would because it was his job.As I exited the hospital, I stopped, astonished, to see Alpha Bolin in the driver's seat of a shiny black car, looking straight at me. His gaze then fell to the envelope hugged between my chest, and I immediately knew why he was here—to ensure I'd taken his money. Upset, I hurriedly walked to his car to tell him I would pay him back, but as I did, he rolled up his window and drove off. I started to run, and I fell to my knees. His car abruptly s
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Seven: Who Does This House Belongs To?
I hated to be late on my first day at work. I got up early and got ready. I didn't want to ruin my life again, as I'd stupidly lost the only money I'd had, which Alpha Bolin had given me. This job could be my last shot at a new start in life, and I can't afford to ruin it as well. Observing myself in the mirror, the uniform fit me well, showcasing the curves of my skinny body after barely getting any meals back at my uncle's home.I left the room and stood in the hallways, waiting on Cavia. Upon seeing me, Cavia wished me a good morning, and I followed her to the staffroom, where she introduced me to the employees. Later, she paired me with Lovely, a dark pixie-haired she-wolf who appeared to be the same age as me, to clean the largest master bedroom upstairs.As Pixie and I dusted the master room, she said, "I know a lot of people around here; why is this the first time I'm seeing you?" "Are you from a different pack, dwelling here with your mate?""No." I dusted the wall.Not satisfi
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Eight: Hired as my ex-mate, maid
"Welcome home, Alpha Bolin and Luna Addison," Cavia greeted them at the door.Alpha Bolin walked through the door, and his dark eyes immediately went to me at the back, as if he'd sensed my presence the moment he stepped in. My heart raced fast when she saw me, and faster when his stare turned bitterly ice-cold. Terrified, my gaze swiftly shifted from him to his Luna, Addison, my evil cousin, and I felt a sharp pain in my heart to see her stand so close to him with a hand wrapped around his arm. I lowered my gaze to the floor, wanting to leave the hall badly.If I'd known he and Addison would be here, I would never have taken the job. I wish I had asked more about the job rather than desperately taking it without caring who my boss was.My attention remained on the floor as Alpha Bolin and Addison made their way upstairs and I shook nervously, still sensing the alpha's ice-cold stare lingering on me as he walked away. He hated that I was here.As everyone left the hallway and returned

Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter 17: Bathing In The River
Throughout the day, Lovely noticed how down-spirited I'd been since I'd returned downstairs and told me of a small river on the land I could take a bath in to relax, which always cheered her up.I remember running into the woods and becoming one with nature, which helps me whenever I'm in a bad mood. I decided to take a visit.After work, I waited until it was dark and the moon was bright in the sky. I went there, took off my clothes, and let go of my dark hair. That's the only time I'll release my hair from its ballerina bun when I take a bath or wash it. The water felt warm and soothing against my skin. After I completed my bath and washed my hair, I decided to stay a little longer. I leaned onto a rock and closed my eyes, relaxing.A few moments later, tramping sounds of wolf feet running towards me caused my eyes to open, and I was alarmed to see several large wolves running closely around the river, heading towards the Alpha's house. I quickly hid behind one of the rocks, ashamed

Before I could answer Alpha Bolin, Addison emerged from the bathroom.She had a white robe on and a towel wrapped around her head.She responded sweetly, "She's here because of me, my love."My gaze dropped to the ground, and my heart ached at what Addison had just called him.Alpha Bolin said nothing and walked into another part of the room. I raise my head when he's gone."Are you going to stand there all day or do what you were called for?" I hear Addison from behind.I turned around, and she was sitting before the mirror with a silver brush in her hand.I went to take the brush from her.As I gently unwrapped the towel from her hair, Addison scrolled through her phone.With a heavy heart, my gaze slowly went down to her neck to see the mark my mate had given her; that should have been me. As I'm about to stop myself from doing so. Not wanting to put myself through any more pain. My gaze had already reached her neck, and my eyes expanded upon discovering that he hadn't marked her.
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Fifteen: River Bath
Throughout the day, Lovely noticed how down-spirited I'd been since I'd come back downstairs from Addison and the Alpha's room. She therefore told me of a small river on the property where I could take a bath to relax, which always cheered her up.Remembering back at my uncle's home, I'd used to run into the woods, becoming one with nature whenever I'm in a bad mood. I decided to go for it.After work, I waited until it was dark and the moon was bright in the sky. I went the river, taking off my clothes and letting go of my dark hair before getting into the water.

Before I could answer Alpha Bolin, Addison emerged from the bathroom.She had on a white robe and a towel wrapped around her head."She's here because of me, my love." Addison responded sweetly to Alpha Bolin.My gaze dropped to the ground, and my heart ached at what Addison had just called him.Without a word, Alpha Bolin went into another part of the room.

Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Thirteen: The Alpha's Heart Beat
"I remember when my heart used to beat the same way for your mother, but I made her die." Alpha's Bolin father began to cry, and abruptly, he brought himself to him."Leave now!" he yelled at me as he tried to console his father.I sprinted to the door, and as I shut it, I glimpsed the alpha holding his father in his arms with closed eyes.I went to my room and stood at the window, looking out, remembering the heart-rending image of him holding his father tightly in his arms. I wrapped my arms around me, wishing he'd also cared about my tears the day he rejected me.Shortly after, the door burst open, and my arms fell from my shoulders. I was flabbergasted to see it was the alpha. The door slammed behind him as he entered my room. He quickly came over to me, and I backed into the window. Furiously, he grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me towards him. As he did, my right hand touched the hard, bulging left side of his chest."Don't ever go into my father's room again," he said, loo
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Twelve: Why the Alpha's Heart Raced?
"Melonie!" I heard Lovely calling me from behind.I wiped away my tears quickly, not wanting her to see me cry, but not in time. She came before me, and I turned around, drying the remaining tears with my uniform sleeve.Believing I was crying about what had happened in the living room, Lovely said, "Don't cry, Melonie.""Cavia gave me a message to tell you that the alpha has rehired you.""You've got your job back," Lovely said gleefully.I pretended that losing my job was the cause of my tears, and not that the Alpha didn't force me to work here against my will. I turned around, nodding."Come, let's go; our supper is ready." Lovely took my hand, leading me straight from the garden to the employee lounge room.When we got there, the sight of the table amazed me; it had many meals that were fit for its owner. Back at my uncle's home, he forbade the workers from consuming any of the meals prepared for him and his family. I was fortunate enough to scrape the bottom of the pots to get a

"Let me go," I said angrily as he kept dragging me by the hand.His grip tightened around my wrist, refusing to let go.Worried he was going to hurt me, I cried out. "I'm leaving, and I promise you won't ever see me again."Still, he refused to let me go.Finally, he came to a stop by a row of red roses in the garden. He spun around and grabbed me by the other wrist, drawing me close to him—almost making our bodies touch.His eyes, which are as dark as a moonless night, stared deeply into mine, upset."I don't work for you anymore, so please let go of me." I demanded, looking back into his grave eyes. Frightened by his dangerous gaze, my body soon became rigid, like a pole in his hands."You're going to work here until I tell you when to leave," Sternly Alpha Bolin ordered, and as he did, he quickly unhanded me.""What?" I soothe the pain he inflicted on my wrist, but I find myself in a state of confusion. He'd fired me before his Luna and brother, and he didn't want me here. Why did h
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Ten: Awkward
Addison's eyes widened shockingly to see me. Vyke gave a warm smile, and Alpha Bolin gave me the coldest stare that sent a shiver up my spine. I swear that I could hear him growling at me in my mind, urging me to exit his home immediately.I unfroze and quickly walked to the table to place down the bowl of gravy and basket of breadsticks so I could get out of there immediately.As I placed each item down, I could feel Alpha Bolin's icy stare penetrating my skin, causing my chest to tighten and making it difficult to breathe. My fingers stiffened, and the gravy bowl tilted, spilling all over Addison's. Abruptly Addison sat up and screamed, looking down at her now ruined stylish pink dress."I'm so sorry." I apologized, freaking out at the mess I'd created.Angrily, her attention swung to me."You did it on purpose because you're jealous of me," Addison shrieked, and I fearfully shut my eyes as she raised a hand to slap me across the face.It's not the first time Addison has tried to hit
Wish You Weren't My Mate, Alpha Bolin Chapter Nine: The Stranger In The Garden
Tears ran down my cheeks as I cut the roses, utterly torn apart. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and I immediately wiped my tears before turning around with the bouquet of twelve roses. I was then surprised to see a dark-haired male with hazel eyes standing before me. He wore a dark blue suit, a shiny silver watch, and a dark shoe. With a hand in his pocket, he gave me a friendly smile. His teeth are beautifully white, and I can't help but notice how attractive he is.Observing his formal attire, I said nervously, "Good evening," and quickly spun around to walk away."Do you know what a white rose represents?" The strange man stopped me. His voice was warm and friendly.With my back facing him, I studied the roses in my hands. They're so white, beautiful, and free from stains."No, sir," I said, spinning around to face him."Please don't call me, sir." He smiledHe's more handsome when he smiles, and I cannot resist staring more at him."You haven't a clue who I am, don't you?"
