Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 5
I gaze down, and I see paws that startle me at first. Gasping at the closeness and realizing they are mine, where my hands should be, flat on the ground. Large, clawed but strong paws, bigger than I thought they would be. I lift one and shake it, almost as if I need to convince myself that I can use and control this limb. It’s genuinely connected to my body. My legs are solid, with thick silver-gray fur up my muscular chest. I have a streak of purest snow white that travels as far as I can see. I stare at it, lean back, and pull my chin in tight to follow it until I can’t strain any further to see.
I have very little memory of my mother in her true form, but I know this is from her. She was a white and my father a silver, yet it’s rare to combine both in such a way. Most wolves are brown or gray ... white is a mutation that’s almost unheard of, and my mother used to try to hide because it brought only stares.
Staggering on strange legs and fall flat, splaying out and bumping my undercarriage as I collide with stone. I shake my head, the unfamiliar weight of a different form pulling me from side to side, not entirely in control of my limbs or movements yet, but aware it’s so much bigger than my human skull. Aware, suddenly, of the scene around me coming back into focus and realizing we are still being watched. Sobering fast as my new metabolism pushes the last drugs out of my system and cleanses my blood.
The atmosphere is charged, and I’m surrounded by newly changed wolves of all shades of gray and brown, although I’m the only one with white in my coat. Turning as the Shaman’s chants draw my eyes back to him, I trip over my uncoordinated self as I try to right myself and get up. It’s hard to use my hands as front legs, and I instinctively rear backward too far onto my haunches, lose my balance, and reel forward again to correct it before tumbling face on. I slump to the ground once more and meet the dust with a lower jaw clunk.
Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 6
I know others are watching; my senses are heightened, and my body is goose bumping in response. I can feel them on me from all over, and I want to sink into the ground and disappear. I yank, but the blanket tears from the pressure nearer my end, and I have no choice but to stop or be left with a scrap that will cover nothing.
“For God’s sake, Damon. This isn’t the time or place. My father is staring at you. Pack it in.” Colton snarls his way, pushes him from behind, and comes into view, shoving him off the blanket, and swoops down to pick it up with speed. He walks forward in two confident strides and hands it straight to me, bending slightly as he does so to make sure I get it with no more interference. I know he’s only doing it to save face, exert his dominance in front of his father and save Damon from punishment later. Either way, I am thankful for him and relieved he is an Alpha in the making for the first time.
I reach out and take it gratefully, quickly pulling it around me and hiding what’s on show, afraid to look at him. It’s almost impulsive as his hand, still attached to the corner, briefly touches my shoulder in passing because of how speedy I am. A hot searing flash runs through my body alarmingly, igniting something tingly inside me I can’t identify. Like being zapped by a low-strength taser, I gasp at the contact, glancing up at him as he attempts to rise to stand, seemingly also recoiling for what was maybe just an electric shock. For one brief millisecond of synchronized surprise, our eyes lock.
It’s all it takes.
One second of direct focus, a meeting of eyes I have never dared to look into before, and the worst thing in the world happens to me. We connect: visions, images, and projections flow through my mind at a neck-breaking speed that fries my brain, and I cannot break his gaze or look away. Startled into silence, locked in, and unable to fight what happens. My body is rigid and paralyzed, controlled by this higher force as we’re forcefully held, trapped in an intense stare down, and his dark, almost black eyes eat into my soul.
Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 7
Everything happens so fast that my head spins, and I can barely catch my breath. Our imprinting sends the ceremony into quick dispersal, and I’m dragged away by Santo’s pack and ushered into an awaiting car, my clothes thrown in my face and ordered to go to the packhouse and be quiet.
Everything is in uproar as though I committed the crime of the century, and it rippled through everyone present. Juan is exploding magnificently at the possibility that our future Alpha got betrothed to one of the lowliest of the packs, and I’m not exactly happy about it either.
I’ve kept my head down for ten years, stayed out of sight, in the shadows, and away from the drama the way others like me have not. Became almost invisible and made no real friends, all with my eye on the one goal of escaping this place with no noise. Only to be put on show on the most important night of my life, in front of the entire mountain, and have everything come crashing down on top of me.
This can’t be happening! Imprinting is for life; there is only one way out—and that’s death! I can barely breathe as the panic sets in that this is not goddamn reversible and not a tiny thing that can get brushed aside and me sent on my merry way.
That is NOT an option for me. We can choose to walk away and ignore it, but the bond won’t break, and the urge to bind us together will only grow stronger if we fight it. That’s how this works; everyone knows that. If I leave, I’ll crave for him for the rest of my life until it pushes me to insanity or even death from a broken soul. If I stay, I’ll never be able to fight the need to be with him, and Juan made that excruciatingly clear that it will never happen.
I’m bustled from car to dark alley and given only seconds to pull my clothes on under my blanket before I am forcibly pushed in a side door and almost fall flat on my face into a bright hallway. The men charged with bringing me here are being less than hospitable, shoving me around and shoving me cruelly. I feel covered in bruises, and I still have blood residue over my body and face. I ‘ooft’ at the impact of meeting hard floor, body already tired and weak from what I endured tonight.
Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 8
We imprinted. We have a link. We can hear each other even from miles away. No distance is too far. No one else can tap into this. It’s like our own personal telephone line with dampeners.
He isn’t looking at me. He’s watching Carmen walk down the hall crying into her own hands and creating a bleak picture. I can sense his pain from watching her go, and it pains me, too. Feeling what he feels is another downside to being connected to this guy. I don’t want to feel heartbreak or pain or any of this crap.
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for any of this.
The honesty and ache in my response bring his eyes to mine, and we do that weird thing where we lock eyes, get a tremor of something we can’t deny, and both look away again. Neither of us wants this; that much is clear.
You didn’t do this. Fate did. Now we have to figure out how to undo it, if that’s even possible.
The hesitation in his tone catches me off guard, and I look at him properly despite myself. His side profile of chiseled square jawline. Sallow skin and dark hair to match those dark eyes and brows. Colton is tall, muscular, and fit, which is only enhanced by being among the giant wolves in the pack, even at his age. His family originated from Colombia, and you can see his heritage, in the best way, despite his mother being Caucasian. Me, I’m a good old country white. Dull hair, plain girl, and nothing unique or beautiful that I know of. Carmen is a goddess compared to me.
The atmosphere turns cold as a troop of men come marching in from the same door we did, and I’m pushed out of the way ungraciously by one of them. I get knocked sideways, unable to stop myself, and spiral down as I lose footing. Still on unsure legs after tonight’s ceremony and unable to stop myself.
Colton's low growl and quick reflexes as he jolts in beside me and catches me sends my head spinning. His arms lasso me and stop my body from colliding with the concrete wall, hitting his chest instead as I grasp on impulsively. His eyes glow amber over my head as he death glares his displeasure at the men, unconcealed as that flash of warning oozes from him. That fierce mate protection is coming out instinctively, and I honestly don’t know how to react.
Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 9
“He can choose to sever the bond if he wishes, but history has shown us that mates who do ... both die! The only other option is denial to consummate. They choose to walk away; no mark is made, no union at all, and they deny the bond completely. It will never die, and they will live lives craving what the other can give them, no matter who they end up with. Is that what you want for your son?”
All eyes turn on Juan. So much tension in this room as the elders talk internally, so I cannot hear them. Colton paces, and I can tell he is privy to what is being said. They are his pack, after all, and two are his blood. Father and Uncle. He doesn’t seem happy, and the waves of his anger are all lapping over me and affecting my sanity. Dampening the heat, replacing it with his rage.
I can’t take it anymore. As the minutes' tick by and my nerves fray, I feel like I may scream, an internal burst of nervous crazy whooshes out.
“I’ll leave. I don’t want this either.” I blurt it out into the deathly silence as hysteria gets the better of me, and every single face turns to me in shocked response, like they suddenly remembered I was here in this corner.
I know I just spoke out of turn and disrespected everyone in this room, but I’m sitting here, wearing my own dried blood, shredded emotions, and exhaustion pushing through. My head is a mess, and in the space of thirty minutes, I discovered that being a virgin doesn’t mean you cannot get crazy urges to strip naked and jump someone’s bones, even if you previously avoided that someone like the plague. I’ve pictured him naked at least twice, without even meaning to, since he gave me every one of his intimate memories, and some of those are him showering. What?
Awakening Rejected Mate Chapter 10
I barely knew him this morning, and yet, here and now, my instincts are that I would die for him if I had to, and the longer this plays out, the stronger this need to be near him gets. While being physically joined causes all sorts of inner sparks and sizzles as tension builds between us, and I move obediently as he pulls me with him. It’s insanity, and I don’t understand how this can be, but it is what it is. Colton is part of me now, and I can’t do anything about it.
We are ushered to the door, hands still entwined, and I follow him closely, the heady need to wrap myself around him worse when we have prolonged contact, and as much as my head tells me to let go, I can’t seem to. The growing ache in my stomach and pelvis is getting irritatingly intense, and I am more than aware of how good his skin feels against mine. Our hands are slotted together, warm on warm, weirdly sensual.
Colton leads me to the other room and shuts the door firmly behind us. He is still holding my hand and keeping me by his side as he turns to me. He gazes down at our entangled fingers for a long second. Seems like he, too, is telling himself to let go, but he doesn’t.
We stand stiffly, pulsating energy growing between us as the air thickens, and I find it harder to breathe the longer he’s this close. Fully aware of him towering over me in all his beautiful muscular glory, hot body, and he’s way too good-looking. Even his voice does crazy tingly things to me, and standing, absorbing his heat, inhaling his unique scent, I get clammy in really embarrassing places. My eyes keep straying to his face, mouth, and beautiful face, and I edge closer absentmindedly, biting on my lip as crazy thoughts about leaning up and biting his course through my brain alarmingly.
I need to cool down and pull this back in. Hormones are well and truly kicking in with his proximity, and I need to breathe a little.

Chapter 1 He Hates Me
Aurora POV:
I sat at my desk and wondered why I'd taken this secretarial job in the first place.
My boss, Jacobsville, Texas, attorney Micheal Angelo, didn't appreciate me at all. I had only been trying to keep him from dying of a premature heart attack by changing his regular coffee to decaf. For my efforts, I had been on the receiving end of the worst insult I could ever imagine, and from the one man in the world that I loved above all others. I knew my co-workers were as upset as I was. But nothing made up for the fact that Micheal Angelo hated me.
I looked down at my voluptuous body in a purple dress with a high neckline, frilly bodice, and straight skirt, vaguely aware that the style did nothing for me. I was wearing it today, of all days, when Micheal gave me that disapproving scrutiny. My mother had tried to tell me, gently, that frills and big bosoms didn’t match, Worse, a tight-fitting skirt only emphasized those wide hips.
I have been trying so hard to lose weight. I’d given up sweets, joined a gym, and worked hard at cooking regular and weight-conscious meals for myself and my elderly mother, who had a heart condition, but all was to no avail.

Chapter 1 Marriage of Shadows
Olivia stood before the ornate mirror in her lavish bridal suite, her reflection a portrait of conflicting emotions. Dressed in an exquisite gown of ivory silk, adorned with delicate lace and shimmering pearls, she appeared every bit the radiant bride. Yet, behind the facade of bridal elegance, a tempest of resentment and despair raged within her heart. It had been mere hours since she exchanged vows with Ethan, a man she barely knew and despised with every fiber of her being.
The marriage, a union forged not by love but by the cold calculations of familial obligation and societal expectations, weighed heavily upon her shoulders.
As she traced the intricate patterns of lace upon her gown, Olivia's thoughts drifted back to the events that led to this moment—a tumultuous journey marked by betrayal, heartache, and the suffocating grip of familial manipulation.
From the onset, Olivia had known that her marriage to Ethan was not of her choosing.
It was a transaction orchestrated by her mother, driven by the shadows of a past veiled in secrecy and shame.
Bound by duty and tradition, Olivia found herself thrust into a world of opulent extravagance and suffocating expectations—a world where appearances reigned supreme, and the truth lurked beneath layers of deceit.

Chapter 1 Same Dress
A myriad of luxurious cars weaved in through the hotel gates as seamlessly as a shuffled deck of cards. A dazzling array of celebrities, socialites and those among the most powerful and influential people of A City had gathered here today to celebrate and honor the prestigious 30th anniversary of Soaring Group.
Soon after, a Volkswagen Phaeton, with a sleek metallic paint finish, stopped at the hotel driveway and the bellhop stepped forward to open the door.
Melinda Mo sprang out of the car, clearly in a hurry to go somewhere. In fact, Melinda Mo was rushing to get to a banquet that she almost missed, not because it was her own fault but because she didn't receive the invitation until much later.
"Where is Jonas?" she asked anxiously.
"Mr. Gu is already here. He is in the banquet hall right now."
Gently lifting the hemline of her red dress, Melinda Mo sped to the banquet hall. She was already very late. The banquet hall was a grand space, to say the least. The walls were covered with a shimmering gold paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the carved oak table was a candelabra. The polished silver cutlery was heavy to the hand and shone brightly in the early evening light. At each place stood a tall empty wine glass and there were beautifully folded napkins to match the runner. The room was invaded by beautiful women, showing off their spectacular jewelries and dashing young men, laughing and chatting about business and politics.

Chapter 1 Preface
If she knew before that this day was going to be her last, she would have appreciated her last moments with her mate a little more.
She could not remember the last words she said to him but she remembered what she felt just right. Embraced in his arms, huddling against the warmth of the burning wood—she remembered she was happy. Happier than she had ever been.
She didn't remember telling him how she felt, maybe she did not because she was too involved in enjoying the moment. She remembered the way his eyes glistened against the fire, holding hers—his scent, calming in a way and at the same time, disallowing her to be away. Also, smiling as his lips met hers. She remembered wanting to tell him she was in love with him.
But she did not remember telling him that and it hurt.
More than the combined pain of a concussion, a bleeding arm and a silver bullet in her shoulder. Any of her attempts to contact her mate failed. When she was first brought here, she was able to feel his anger. She could read this thoughts and hoped he would be here anytime soon but now as time slipped from her hand like fine sand, there was nothing left in her. Her powers had diminished. Her body had given up on her.

Chapter 1 One
"Tell me what you're wearing," His deep voice came through from the other end.
"A satin dress!" She answered, already getting turned on by his questions.
"Long or short?"
"Short."
"Perfect. Panties?" He asked.
"Yes"
"Take it off." He commanded. Mia felt a shiver run down her spine. But she obeyed. She adjusted herself and took off her panties.
"Done!" She replied, lying on her back.
"Good girl! Now close your eyes." He instructed.
Mia obeyed.
"Remember how you feel anytime I take your erect nipple into my warm wet mouth?"
Mia nodded her head at the memory. "Yes I do," she moaned.
"Put your index finger in your mouth, ensure you've got enough saliva on it, then slowly run that finger over your right nipple."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Mia moaned at the cold shiver she got from doing as Colton requested.

Chapter 1 A Mischance And A Mess
I walked briskly out of the hotel lobby after I finished helping my Head of Department drop off the papers he had forgotten at the office and picked up some extra ones from him. I walked with the intensity of a child late for school as I made my way down the stairs without even looking down, completely buried in my thoughts, when I missed a step. I tripped and was falling onto a man who was about to climb up the stairs and he could have caught me, but instead, he shifted out of the way and with vigorous force, I came crashing down to the ground. The documents flew out of my hand and scattered around me like autumn leaves in the wind.
He observed the scene before him with a subtle smirk. He chose not to extend a helping hand, enjoying the sight of me groaning in pain and embarrassment. It was as if he found amusement in watching me fall. I looked up, ready to express my annoyance, but before I could say anything, he walked off without saying a word
I muttered to myself, "wow, how rude and heartless can someone be? What kind of person just watches someone fall and does nothing?"
Feeling indignant, I got up from the ground and knelt to gather my documents. The man overhearing my remark, stopped in his tracks and turned back to face me.
"Heartless? That's quite an assumption to make."
"Well, your actions speak volumes. You didn't even bother to apologize!" I said irritatedly as I stood up to him.
"Apologies are overrated, don't you think?" He responded nonchalantly as his guards tried to step in but he dismissed them.

Chapter 1 Decision Taken
It was a pleasant sunny day when the guards opened the giant black metal gates of the Knight Mansion and a speeding Red Audi R8 limited edition sports car slid into the driveway.
Christian Knight stepped out of his car in a charcoal grey suit, seething in rage, and slammed the door of the car shut with a rude bang. He strode towards the gorgeous Italian-styled Knight Mansion crossing the expanded water fountain.
The house helper opened the magnificent mahogany door and respectfully greeted him, but Christian ignored it. “Where is Grandpa?” He asked, his nostrils flaming in anger.
“Sir, they are in the living area.” The house helper answered meekly and Christian turned on his heels, taking long strides sauntering towards the living area, where he saw his father Luke Knight and grandfather Leo Knight sitting together enjoying coffee and chatting about some forthcoming projects.
Christian charged toward them with blazing eyes. “Grandpa, how can you do this to me?” He thundered, glaring at him. “How can you take such an important decision of my life without asking me?” He raised his voice and his eyes shifted to his father, Luke.

Chapter 1 Their Baby
"Ma'am, our examination indicates that your uterine wall is unusually thin, making the fetus's position precarious. It's essential to exercise caution with your diet and physical activities," the doctor explained, holding out a piece of paper to Sabrina Chavez. "Here, take this. Go get the medicine."
"Understood, doctor," Sabrina responded, carefully taking the prescription from the doctor.
The doctor emphasized, "Make sure to take good care of yourself. This is a serious matter." A thin uterine wall can increase the risk of miscarriage. It is unfortunate that many women who experience a miscarriage face difficulties conceiving again.
"Thank you, doctor. I'll take care of myself," Sabrina assured him, a resolute smile playing on her lips.
Having been married for three years, she had eagerly anticipated this baby for the same duration, and she was determined to do everything in her power to protect it.

Chapter 1 Groans In The Study
I stared at myself in the mirror, rolling my eyes. I just couldn't believe that I would dress in such a revealing way, but I had no other choice.
Shane Hayes and I had been married for two years. Today was our wedding anniversary. He had been seldom in the mood to have sex. If I didn't take the initiative to seduce him, it worried me that I might lose him. Thus, I decided to go all out tonight.
Seconds later, I heard a noise outside the door.
I took off my coat and walked out of the room in a red slip dress.
"Honey, I really missed you!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips.
Shane pushed me away, eyeing me up and down. I noticed that he was in a trance for a moment.
Truthfully, I was happy, thinking that he might like seeing me in such an outfit.
"Why are you dressed like that?"
he asked, walking to the sofa to sit down.
"Do you remember what day it is today?" I asked, sitting next to him, hoping that he knew the answer.

Chapter 1 Fading Echoes of Love
On February 14th, Valentine’s Day, Madelyn Jent, a 31-year-old woman, lost her battle to cancer. Inside a room in SereneCare Hospital in Ventropolis, the air was filled with a strong scent of disinfectant.
[Zach, the doctor inserted a painful dialysis needle in me today. ] [I’m on the verge of death. Could you spare a moment to visit me? ] [Please, Zach…] Madelyn weakly turned her head and glanced at the text messages on her phone.
Despite sending multiple messages, they seemed to vanish into thin air. Zach Jardin hadn’t responded to any of them. Drips hung from the back of her hand, her face was pale, and her body was emaciated, with sunken eyes.
Cancer had ravaged her limbs, causing them to deteriorate. She was completely immobile, unable to perform even the simplest tasks.
The nurse assigned to care for her hadn’t shown up for almost two weeks, citing that further treatment was unnecessary. Madelyn couldn’t bear pain or hardship, but in the advanced stages of her cancer, she had to endure daily torment. The only thing that kept her going was her love for Zach. However, as her overwhelming love for him faded, she was left with nothing but a skeletal figure, a mere shell of her former self. Madelyn switched off her phone and silently awaited the embrace of death.
