All Chapters of The Rejected Lonely Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The sun was just beginning to rise over the dense forest surrounding the Blood Moon pack's territory, casting long shadows over the grand estate that stood at its heart. The mansion, a symbol of power and prestige, was where Selene worked tirelessly, cleaning rooms, scrubbing floors, and obeying every command barked at her. Her thin frame moved quietly through the halls, careful not to make a sound. The fewer eyes on her, the better.Selene was a maid, but more than that, she was a slave in every sense of the word. Orphaned at a young age, she had been taken in by the pack, not out of kindness, but for convenience. Jackson Richford, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, had no use for a weak, powerless girl like her except to do the dirty work his high-status warriors wouldn’t lower themselves to. At least, not until she turned 18. That day was just a week away, and it was the only thing keeping Selene going. In a few days, she would meet her wolf, the other half of her soul. Then, maybe

The day had just barely broken when Selene stirred awake, blinking against the soft morning light filtering through her small bedroom window. For a few moments, she simply lay there, taking in the silence, feeling the familiar chill of the early hours seep into her bones. She flipped onto her side and glared at the cracked wall opposite her bed—a grim reminder of the long years that had passed under the Blood Moon pack house, filled with endless chores, humiliation, and loneliness. But today was different. Today was a new beginning."Happy birthday," she whispered to herself, barely audible in the quiet room.She was eighteen now, by pack standards officially an adult. Today should've been the day she finally met her wolf one companion she had spent her life waiting for, the day she was supposed to feel whole. A small part of her had always held onto the hope that meeting her wolf would change everything'd somehow be free of this suffocating life she lived under Alpha Jackson and Tiff

Selene's heart thundered in her chest as she followed Alexander through the grand halls of the Blood Moon pack house. Events from that night still put her in a daze-how had she gone from being a lowly maid, rejected and ignored, to being claimed by one of the most powerful Alphas in the world? As they walked side by side, her mind was consumed by the enormity of what had taken place thus far. Alexander led her to the guest quarters, for which the Blood Moon pack had prepared for him to stay in. The room was resplendent and very different from the small, dark areas in which Selene was accustomed to staying. Alexander pushed the door open, allowing Selene to step inside first. She did not get across the threshold immediately but stood at the door, mouth agape, and eyes wide with wonder. Large windows allowed much natural light in, their billowing velvet curtains wafting on the breeze as a large four-poster dominated the center of the room. To one side, there was also a fireplace where c

Selene sat in the passenger seat, her eyes wide and round with wonder as the world passed by in a blur of color and life. The sleek black car Alexander drove hummed softly beneath her, a quiet powerful machine that she had never imagined riding in. Outside, the city unraveled as if from a story she had never read, with buildings reaching toward the sky, bright lights flickering in the distance, and people dressed in ways she had never seen. She leaned closer toward the window, her fingers brushing the cool glass as they passed by a row of luxury houses with wide lawns and tall gates. Her breath hitched in her throat. It was a world so unlike the dull little world she had known within the Blood Moon pack. It had been so insular, so flat. But this was something else entirely. Is this where you live?" Selene asked, her voice tinged in disbelief. Alexander looked at her, his lips curving into a small smile. "No, this is just the outskirts of the city. My pack's territory is further beyon

The day was off to a quiet start after the rollercoaster of emotions from last night. Her head was still so clogged with thoughts of Alexander about how he quietly retreated to the bathroom and then left her to fall asleep alone. It felt like there was something left unsaid between them despite their sharing of their deepest vulnerabilities. The silence hung between them, thick with unsaid words, as if each of them guarded secrets that no one was ready to face. By afternoon, when the golden sun of the afternoon kissed the grounds of Nightwind Pack, Selene had mostly spent her day getting familiar with her new surroundings and trying to get used to living a life she never thought she would. The sprawling mansion, the elegant furniture, the lush gardens-all worlds away from the harsh environment of the Blood Moon Pack. Here, there were no cruel words or demeaning tasks. She was treated as a person worthy of respect, the concept still a little foreign to her after years of living
