Chapter 51

Jason's POV:"Jason, what are you doing here?" Lucas demanded, looking at me suspiciously.I was taken aback by his sudden appearance."What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Lucas glared at me, his arms crossed over his chest. "I could ask you the same thing. What do you want with Veronica?"I hesitated, trying to come up with an excuse. "I just wanted to check on her. She didn't seem okay during dinner."Lucas snorted. "Right. Like you care about her."I felt my anger rising, but I knew I had to keep my cool. "What are you doing here, Lucas?"He smirked at me. "I live here, remember? Unlike you, I don't have to make excuses to be with Veronica."I gritted my teeth, feeling a surge of jealousy. "I'm not making excuses. I just want to talk to her."Lucas shook his head. "She doesn't want to talk to you. She made that pretty clear."Lucas eyed me skeptically, but thankfully Veronica spoke up. "It's okay, Lucas," she said. "Jason was just checking on me."I b

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Veronica's POV:Tears streamed down my face as I ran up the stairs. My heart pounded hard against my chest and my knees buckled as I got to the top of the staircase. I couldn't believe what I just heard and somehow, I hoped it was just a figment of my imagination.Was Lucas really using me as a sex toy? Why would he be using me as a pawn to get the throne?I don't stand any chance of being the Luna of the Nightshade Pack since I've never shifted into my wolf form, which means I can never be a threat to the throne. Everything I just heard didn't make sense to me.I thought Lucas loved me as much as I did love him but now it was all clear that I was just one of his flings. It all began to make sense slowly. The entire Matilda story was never a lie. Lucas and Matilda had something going on but how was I so dumb not to realize that the red flag has been staring at me all this while?As I walked into my room, I felt the whole space spinning and my breath was caught up in my throat. I collap

Chapter 53

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Lucas POV:I had just finished my afternoon routine of sword training when I bumped into Veronica. She had a sullen expression on her face and no matter how hard she tried to hide it, I knew something was wrong. But who cares anyway? Once the full moon festival is over, I won't need to act nice towards her again and I can confidently go back to my usual flings with Matilda."Hey, Vee, where are you headed to?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady as I took a few steps toward her. Her eyes flickered from Parrish's to mine and I could see a glint of sadness in her eyes. What was making her sad? I shrugged off the thought nonchalantly and kept my fake smile unfazed."I'm just going for a stroll in the garden," she replied, looking away from me."Oh, alright then," I said, trying to keep things light. "I'm headed to the council chambers for a meeting. Are you going to the palace?"She nodded her head silently, and I could tell that something was wrong. I had to see her later and find o

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Veronica's POV:As I walked through the palace garden, the scent of blooming flowers filled the air, their vibrant colors captivating my attention. The garden was my sanctuary, a place where I could find solace and escape from the turmoil that consumed my thoughts.It was difficult to understand that the person I loved, Lucas, had been using me as a pawn and a mere object of desire. The hurt and betrayal cut deep, leaving me feeling vulnerable and lost.Lost in my world, I tried to push aside the painful revelations about Lucas and the queen. How could they have conspired against me? The hurt and betrayal seeped deep into my soul, making it difficult to focus on anything else.Amidst the bustling activity of the palace, I immersed myself in the beauty of nature. The delicate petals of roses brushed against my fingertips as I trailed my hand along the garden path. I sought refuge in the tranquility of this secluded space, hoping it would ease the ache in my heart.I walked through the

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Veronica's POV:As I stormed out of Lucas's room, my cheeks still stinging from the slap, I needed some fresh air to calm my racing heart. I walked through the ornate hallways of the palace, trying to collect my thoughts and push away the anger and hurt that consumed me.Just as I turned a corner, I came face to face with Matilda, who wore a sly smirk on her face. She leaned against the wall, her arms crossed, and her presence exuded a certain confidence that irked me."Well, well, look who it is," Matilda sneered mockingly. "Princess Veronica, all dolled up and ready for another dramatic episode."I clenched my fists, feeling a surge of irritation at her mocking tone. "What are you doing here, Matilda?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure.She chuckled, her voice dripping with condescension. "I have an appointment with Lucas but who knows? Maybe it's more than just business," she replied, raising an eyebrow. "But judging by that look on your face, I see that you've already had q

Chapter 56

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Jason's POV:As I watched from my hidden corner, my heart sank at the sight of Lucas slapping Veronica. I couldn't fathom the depth of their sibling relationship, how it could reach such a low point. Thoughts raced through my mind, wondering what kind of tension and animosity had built up between them.My focus shifted as Veronica stormed out of the room, her eyes filled with hurt and anger. I held my breath, waiting to see what would happen next. To my surprise, Matilda appeared before her, her demeanor oozing with arrogance and disrespect."Well, well, well, if it isn't the princess herself," Matilda sneered, crossing her arms defiantly.Veronica's eyes narrowed, but she maintained her composure. "Watch your tone, Matilda. Remember your place."A cold smirk spread across Matilda's face. "Oh, believe me, I know my place very well. Unlike you, I don't need a crown to feel important."I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief. Matilda's audacity was astounding, mocking Veronica's

Chapter 57

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Jason's POV:It was my father, the imposing figure of the Alpha himself. His presence filled the corridor, casting a shadow that seemed to darken the very essence of the space around us. "What are you doing here?" he demanded, his voice like thunder.I stumbled over my words, trying to find an explanation for why I was there, but the words seemed to stick in my throat like a lump of coal. "I-I was just passing by, father. I didn't mean to-""You were eavesdropping, weren't you?" he accused, his eyes flashing with anger.I felt like a deer caught in the headlights. "I- I didn't mean to-"My father's eyes narrowed as he studied me, his gaze piercing me like a thousand daggers. He seemed to sense that something was wrong, and his face grew even darker."You know better than to listen in on other people's conversations," he scolded. "That is not how an alpha behaves."I felt a lump form in my throat as I struggled to articulate my speech. "I'm sorry, father. I didn't mean to-""I don't w

Chapter 58

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Lucas POV:I was still in shock after what transpired between me and Veronica. I had let out my anger and frustration and slapped her. I couldn't believe that my father went behind my back to crown a frail human as the Luna of Nightshade Pack. Veronica stared at me with a tear-stained face and blinked twice, just to be sure that she wasn't dreaming. I didn't feel the slightest pity for her as I watched her storm out of the room. I slumped onto the couch that sat beside my bed, rubbing the crease that was beginning to form on my forehead while my chest rose and fell in anger.My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Matilda's voice in the hallway. Matilda's voice reeked of disdain and mockery as she spoke to Veronica. Her speech was incoherent since the palace walls were built with a soundproof system. After a few minutes, the conversation died down and Matilda walked into my room, dressed in her warrior attire. I couldn't help but smile as she walked towards me, her hips swaying sedu

Chapter 59

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Lucas' POV:I lay on my bed and waited for the moon to rise in its authoritarian position in the sky. My mind drifted to what I had seen earlier this noon. The throne was slowly slipping through my fingers and the only card I have right now was Veronica but I had let my anger get the best of me, now I wasn't so sure if she would confidently announce to everyone that I'm her mate. I heaved a sigh of frustration as I stared at the ceiling, hoping that Veronica will be gullible enough to fall for my lies.Soon, I heard a knock on my door, and a palace guard informed me that it was time for dinner. I nodded, feeling exhausted from the day's activities. As I walked down the stairs towards the dining area, I could hear the clinking of utensils and the sound of voices as my family and members of the pack sat down to eat. I had a feeling that this would not be a pleasant dinner, given the events of the day.As I entered the dining room, I saw my father and the queen sitting at the head of the

The Alpha's Rejected Mate /Gold Daniels

Lucas' POV:My heart leaped at her words, and I couldn't resist any longer. Her soft moans were like music to my ears and I couldn't help but kiss her harder, wanting to feel her every inch. I trailed my hands down her back, feeling her curves and her warmth under my touch. Every nerve in my body was alive with desire, and all I wanted was her.As we finally broke the kiss, we both panted for breath, our bodies pressed tightly together. I looked down into her eyes, and I knew that I would do anything to protect my heirship of the throne, even if it meant two-timing between Veronica and Matilda. "Stay with me tonight," Veronica whispered as I brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "I want to be with you tonight, and always."I nodded, a soft smile playing on my lips, and I knew that everything was going perfectly to my plan. I just needed to play my part well and in a few days, I'll be the next Lycan king and my stepsister's mate.I drew her closer to my embrace. Despite her dis
