All Chapters of Fated Rejection - Fated Claim: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ELLE A shifter’s eighteenth birthday was a monumental occasion for most because it marked the beginning of being able to sense one’s mate. Many dreamed of the day that they met the one that was destined and fated to them. The only one who could truly complete them – their soulmate which was handpicked by the Moon Goddess. I always longed for my mate because love was a concept that I had not really grown up with except a select few people. I was orphaned at the age of five with no memories from before then of who I was or where I came from. Alpha Andrew said that he found me right outside of the pack’s border when I was a pup and brought me back to the Blue Crest pack to be raised by the Omegas of the pack. Blue Crest Omegas were slaves to the pack and were treated as such. Have you ever been treated like you were less than simply because of factors that were outside of your control? It sucked, but that was unfortunately our reality – one that we could never escape from no matter ho

ELLE This was what the Goddess meant by staying strong. There had to be a purpose to this pairing, so I had to stay strong and have faith that it would work out how it was supposed to. Right? That was what I was trying to tell myself at least. Faye was exceptionally quiet. She was certainly in shock because wolves longed to meet their mate even more than the humans did. Her being quiet did nothing for me but make me even more nervous and apprehensive. One would think that she would be jumping for joy and howling into the night sky with her delight. Those were things that she was not doing. At least we were on the same page regarding him. Gabriel placed his hand on the small of my back and gently pushed, knowing I was not thrilled with this. He could read me like a book, so he would understand the war that was raging inside of me without me even uttering a single word to him. However, he also knew that it would be worse for me if I did not go. So, my feet started moving forward desp

KADE“You ready for this trip? It’s about a four-hour drive so not too far away,” Apollo said. He was my best friend and Beta. He was damn good in both roles.Was I ready? No. Did I have to go? Yes.I was twenty-four and had yet to find my mate. Normally, that would not be a big deal. However, being the Alpha of a prominent pack set certain expectations upon my shoulders. I took over as Alpha six years ago after my father died in a rogue attack. Our Elders had been trying to force me into taken a chosen mate in order to strengthen the pack for the past year, but I adamantly refused. I would only accept the one fated to me. She would be my equal in all ways. They struck a deal with me that they would lay off entirely on the whole chosen mate thing for two years if I visited various packs in order to increase the likelihood of finding her.This was the third pack that I would be visiting but at least it was not too far away. The first two were complete duds, but I would keep going becau

KADE‘You must let it play out. They need to see his power,’ the Goddess whispered into my head.Her words were not comforting because that meant that something was about to happen. I had to trust that my mate would be fine because the Goddess was not cruel. She brought us together for a reason, and that would not be to let us meet before we were murdered.The Alpha family glared at my mate, obviously feeling left out. They had no idea who she was at all or that she had a direct connection to the Goddess. The ‘weak Omega’ that the little bitch chose to reject was anything but.“You didn’t tell them?” I asked her with a smirk, amusement dripping from that simple question.“They didn’t deserve to know,” she said plainly with her own amusement. Her eyes held mine, and I was a goner.My respect for her just increased even more. I could guarantee that she put up with their shit, but they did not break her. It was impossible to break someone who held true strength within them. I did not mea

ELLE This was a turn that I never imagined my life taking. Selene promised me that I would love the changes that would happen, and I most certainly did so far. Kade was a sinfully sexy gentleman who showed me what a true mate should act like. His scent was reminiscent of cinnamon espresso which definitely called out to the java lover in me. It was the most incredible scent in the entire world. I would never tire of being around it. When I first smelled it on Gabriel’s shirt, I was incredibly confused. It smelled a thousand times better than Eric’s scent ever did. Kade was every bit the dominant Alpha type with his broad shoulders and muscles that even his shirt and slacks could not hide. They fit him like a glove which allowed me to see that he had a chiseled body underneath them. It clearly showed his power. His auburn hair had some waves at the top, and I had the urge to run my fingers through it. Those grey eyes of his were a shade I had never seen before. He commanded respect wh
