Rejected By My Mate, Wanted By The Four Alphas

Rejected By My Mate, Wanted By The Four Alphas

My mate rejected me for a woman who claimed to have noble blood. When he offered to keep me as his mistress, I spat in his face. He stood aside as his Luna reported me to the Council as a rogue, certain the guards would drag me away and teach me my place. But there was something he didn’t know. The guards belonged to my father—the Alpha he feared, and the man I spent years running from. You see, I’m not a rogue. I’m the last heir of the Bloodmoon Pack, the oldest noble wolf bloodline in the kingdom… and I’m an Alpha. Now, my father is forcing me home to claim my birthright and control the wolf I’ve spent my life fearing. Unfortunately, going home means facing four men who were never supposed to become part of my future. Elias, my childhood friend who insists he only wants to protect me. Achilles, the blind, supposedly immortal Alpha I’m sent to train with—who turns out to be my mate. Leon, the wealthy Alpha who sends me flowers while challenging me in business. And Viktor—the mate who threw me away. Now they all want me. But I’m done belonging to anyone. If they want me, they’ll have to learn to share.

Chapter: A Matter of Distance
ELIASGrimmane’s territory is as imposing as I remember, its dense alpine lands giving way to guarded roads and stone structures as I approach the pack’s main settlement. The last time I came this close, Kamari was the only thing on my mind. Today, I have business with Alpha Achilles.The coronation is seven weeks away. There’s so much to be done, so much to set in place to eliminate distractions. Eliminate distractions. What a funny thing to say when Kamari’s face keeps crossing my mind. My grip tightens on the reins, picking up speed as I ride up to towering silver gates glistening in the morning sun.My shoulders hunch when a warrior steps forward with a raised eyebrow.“Who are you?” His voice is hostile, and I freeze for a moment before I remember.I lift my cloak over my head, watching recognition fill his eyes.“Alpha Elias.” He nods slowly, then turns to his men at the gates, “let him through.”My gut clenches as I pass through the gates into the cobblestone streets, and I

Chapter: A Godforsaken Mate Bond
ACHILLESIt would have been easier if Kamari had slapped me, cursed me, or demanded that I leave her alone. I know what to do with anger. I have no idea what to do with the hurt I put there.I have never wanted to touch someone as badly as I wanted to touch her tonight, and I have never been more certain that I shouldn’t.Telling myself that I’m just reacting to the things I’ve heard is no longer enough, because every time I stand close to Kamari, my wolf won’t shut up, urging me to do things I can’t say out loud.Even now, he grows more agitated, fuelling the rage inside me.I know that meeting Vesper in this mood will worsen things, and quite frankly, I’m not sure I want to see her tonight.But I can only hope.I’m sitting at my table in the pack’s dining hall, shoving a forkful of meat in my mouth when I hear the scraping of a chair pulled back beside me.The smell of sage reaches my nose, and I remember when it used to calm me. Now it just makes me want to hurl my plate at a wall

Chapter: The Trouble With Achilles
KAMARII’ve scrubbed my palm raw, yet somehow, I can still feel Vesper’s finger pressing into it. I don’t know what she did to me, but if this is what Grimmane calls a friendly tour, I’d hate to see how they interrogate their enemies.It doesn’t help that the sun has set and Achilles still hasn’t returned. I keep telling myself I don’t want to see him, but I swear on the Goddess, I need answers today.Who is this Vesper, and why does she think she can touch me whenever she pleases?My stomach grumbles, but I ignore it. I’ve already eaten everything in the basket, and my only other option is dinner with the pack. The thought of running into Vesper again makes me lose my appetite.My head still feels as though someone has been digging around inside it. A shiver travels down my spine when a gust of wind slips through the room, and I hurry to close the curtains.What am I doing? I should sleep. So what if he doesn’t come back tonight? And so what if he does? It’s not like he told me b

Chapter: Alpha to Alpha
ACHILLES Bloodmoon’s scent reaches me long before its gates do, and by the time I arrive, I have rehearsed exactly what I intend to say to Alpha Griffin. I have no intention of staying long enough to hear another lie.The moment I pass through the gates, the difference is immediate.Bloodmoon is louder than Grimmane.The scent of damp earth and pine gives way to warm bodies, fresh-cut wood, and the faint sweetness of flowers. Wolves pass close enough for their scents to mingle with the breeze, their footsteps crossing me without the rigid rhythm I’m accustomed to at home. Conversations drift from one direction to another, overlapping with the occasional burst of laughter. Somewhere nearby, children are playing, their shrieks rising above the steady hum of pack life.My grip stays steady on the reins, and I take it all in without slowing. This place has the restless energy of a pack that has never learned to sit quietly with itself.A warrior approaches my horse.I recognise the c

Chapter: My Mentor’s Dark Secret
KAMARIGrimmane is a pack built on discipline, and its people seem determined to prove it.The warriors we pass walk with straight backs and measured steps. Even their conversations are subdued, as though someone might reprimand them for making too much noise. There’s a certain order to everything here, from the neat rows of buildings to the way everyone seems to know exactly where they’re supposed to be.I wonder if they teach that kind of control, or if you’re simply expected to arrive with it.Because if it’s the latter, I might have to reconsider my stay.Beside me, Vesper continues explaining something about the pack’s training traditions. I nod at what I hope are the appropriate moments, increasingly aware that her attention keeps returning to me.It’s beginning to feel less like a tour and more like an assessment.“Control is everything here,” Vesper tells me as we continue down the path. “An undisciplined wolf is a danger to everyone around them.”I glance at her, wondering

Chapter: Just Us Girls
KAMARI This bed is so soft.That’s the first thing I notice when I wake up.For a moment I just lie there, warm under the thick covers, listening to the gentle rustle of wind outside my window.Everything feels warm, quiet and comfortable. So why does my entire body feel like I was buried under a ton of bricks?My eyes shut again, and I remember—the transformation that should have killed me, the blood, Achilles…I’m wide awake now, and when I get out of bed, I find myself wondering if I imagined the knock on my door last night.But it doesn’t feel like a dream.My gaze lingers on the door. Surely whoever it was must have left already.Then I look out the window and my heart drops to my stomach.The skies are a pale orange, the sun already climbing over the horizonI’m late for training. That must have been what the knocking was about. He must have sent someone to wake me, but I was too weak to open my eyes.But that was last night…or was it?I dash into the bathroom and step under

My Stepbrother's Lust

My Stepbrother's Lust

The night I caught my fiancé cheating, I made the biggest mistake of my life. Or perhaps, the most delicious one. Heartbroken, furious, and driving through the rain with nowhere to go, I crashed straight into Cassian Cross. Silver-gray eyes. A wicked smile. A voice that sent shivers down my spine. One night with a stranger was supposed to be my escape. A little recklessness before I picked up the pieces of my shattered heart. I never expected to see him again. Until my mother’s wedding. Because the stranger who made me forget every reason I had to be miserable? He’s my new stepbrother. And Cassian Cross has a dangerous habit of getting exactly what he wants. One lingering stare, one whispered threat, the promise of a touch that lasts a second too long… He knows what happened between us. He knows I still think about it. And every time he comes close, I have to fight the temptation to forget that we’re supposed to be family. But Cassian has a secret. He’s promised to another woman in a marriage bound by a contract. A woman he cannot simply walk away from, and a secret that could tear our lives apart. He’s forbidden. He’s spoken for. And he’s the one man I should never want. So why does he look at me as if I’m the only woman he can’t have?

Chapter: A Recipe for Disaster
CASSIAN’S POV I invited Axel Cross into my home knowing exactly who he might be. What I didn’t account for was the gun pointed at my head, my pregnant ex-wife’s forehead, or the fact that Nina would have to be the one to make us sit in the same fucking room. I thought that the revelation hit me the hardest, but seeing Axel sitting by the fireplace with his head in his hands…it almost makes me feel sorry for him. It’s not like I sincerely give a fuck about his feelings. Sure, this might all be a part of his plan, but still, his face is really pale, and Nina is staring at me like I should have said something else. “A DNA test?” Her lips purse. I keep my gaze steady on her, my fingers curling tight around my glass. “That’s right.” Axel looks up, eyes red rimmed. “You’re not my brother.” “I wish it were that easy.” I lift my glass to my lips, watching through the corner of my eye as he stands. “This is a game, isn’t it?” He turns to Nina, “did he put you up to thi

Chapter: Anyone But Him
NINA’S POVCassian said a few minutes. I told myself that I could wait.We both lied.It’s been long enough for me to wonder what the hell is taking him so long. Sloane’s words still sit in my chest like tar, robbing me of every sane thought that crosses my mind.Of course I know I might never be first. I’ve heard that so many fucking times. Heck, I’ve even lived it, so yeah…I know.It’s not like mom was subtle in her undying love for Lucas, so much that she no more considered herself a mother after he left.I pace the room, telling myself that I should wash my hands but knowing that it’ll do nothing to relieve me.It’s been almost ten minutes. I glance at the clock in his bedroom and wonder just how much more time I’ll spend here before he comes back.Yet somehow, I feel grateful for his absence. This family…there’s something deeply wrong with them, and I’m getting the feeling that it all stems from his father, Alex. I knew I wasn’t just imagining things when his presence made m

Chapter: Oh, Hell No
CASSIAN’S POVI should have known the moment Sloane asked me to set up her room that she wasn’t just asking for a favor.That was a test—an attempt to assess just how much of her husband is left in me, as if he was ever truly there.I can’t let her turn me into what she’s planning, especially not with Nina in my orbit. Absolutely not.The door to her bedroom shuts behind me, and I’m contemplating grabbing a drink before it hits me that Nina never followed me inside.I head downstairs, scanning the foyer and stopping when I hear a noise by the fireplace. Nina? My footsteps slow, and I listen for her voice, but all I hear is a low grunt that sounds more like my ex wife. I halt at the entrance, watching her red hair cascade down her shoulders as she speaks to the assistant who supposedly hates me.I try to remember her name, but it doesn’t stick.She reaches out to pat Sloane’s hair, and she lets her.

Chapter: The Wife
SLOANE’S POVCassian Cross is officially getting on my last fucking nerve.I glare at my phone in my hands, watching his name sit beneath yet another unanswered call as the car carries me deeper down this ridiculously long driveway.At this point, I’m starting to wonder if sending me here has been his grand plan all along.Dump his pregnant wife in the middle of fucking Scotland and hope she figures out how to survive alone.Except I’m not alone. Maybe he doesn’t even remember when he’s balls deep inside his—“Take a deep breath,” a manicured hand rests on my knee, “he’ll be here.”I turn to Cara, heat tight in my chest.“I would take a deep breath if this baby wasn’t stepping on my lungs, thank you for the reminder.”“Sloane.” she frowns.“I know. I’m sorry, I just—I don’t know what I’ll do if he doesn’t show up.”“You don’t have to think about that.

Chapter: Where We Can Breathe
NINA’S POV I don’t know who will get here first—Axel or Sloane—but I’m starting to fear that Cassian won’t even make it long enough to find out.I’ve been his shadow for hours, clinging to the hope that he is holding it together even as every passing minute steals a little more color from his face.He takes one glass of whiskey, then two, then grabs the bottle off the shelf.Maybe I shouldn’t have told him. I should have held on just a bit more until I talked to Axel, but the kidnapping allegation fell into our laps like a bomb.I tell myself not to overthink it. He’s better off knowing now, but I just can’t help it, not when the man I love is barely hanging on by a thread.What’s worse is knowing that this is all because of me. Maybe if I had kept my hands off him and respected mom’s marriage, this wouldn’t have happened.Even if it had, I wouldn’t be in the middle of it.Still, I know if I go back in time, I’ll still climb into this stranger's car and let him take me to his house.

Chapter: If My World is a Lie
CASSIAN’S POVThe cruelest part about discovering a lie is realizing how many truths you built on top of it.Brother. The word sits between us like a loaded gun, and can’t I seem to look away from it. Fuck…I can’t even remember the last time I allowed myself to imagine having one. That word doesn’t belong remotely on a sentence with Axel—the blue eyed rebound who stood toe to toe with me in Lucas’s living room. The Axel who kissed my Nina. The Axel who is now my fucking brother.All this time, I thought the worst thing my father had hidden from me was a murder. All this time, I was so wrong.“Cassian,” a voice breaks through the thick of my skull. I blink. Nina’s grip on my wrist stays firm.“Baby…do you need to sit down?” Her lower lip quivers as she looks up at me, but I find myself lost in the hazel eyes of the woman I love and wonder just how many pieces of my life she’s been holding in her hands without me knowing.“I’m fine.” I say, even as I hear my voice crack.

After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy

After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy

Calista Winslow died at the hands of the two people she trusted most—her husband, and her twin sister. But death wasn’t the end. She wakes up four years in the past, with every betrayal carved into her memory and one burning goal in her heart— Revenge. This time, she won’t be the obedient wife or the forgotten daughter. This time, she’ll be the one who destroys everything. Her first move? Divorcing her husband before he can destroy her, and turning to the one man powerful enough to stand against him. Atlas Kane. Dangerous, calculated, and unforgiving, Calista knew he was never meant to be more than a weapon. But some things don’t stay buried—not the past… and not the feelings she thought were long gone. Because just like fate can give a second chance at life, maybe, just maybe, love can burn from its embers too. And while Calista is certain of the betrayal that killed her, there is one truth she cannot fully remember— the night her father died. The past her family blames her for. A memory that refuses to stay whole. But the closer she gets to revenge, the clearer it becomes— some truths were never meant to stay hidden. And in this lifetime, losing her heart might be just as dangerous as losing her life.

Chapter: No More Secrets
**CALISTA**I thought I was ready to see blood.But I was not ready to see what was left of Atlas Kane.When I peeped through the door as he undressed, I caught sight of the dry blood gluing his dress to his skin.I had imagined a deep gash across his back…maybe another bullet wound or fresh injuries from tonight.What stared back at me instead...was years of suffering carved into flesh. And I heard my heart rip into smaller and smaller pieces as my hands started to shake. Cuts. Like a psychopath's canvas, long, horizontal wounds lined his back in countless numbers but those ones were fresh. New. Adult wounds that did nothing to mask the real horror underneath. “Oh, Atlas…” my voice faltered, and I felt him stiffen when I lifted my hand—and brushed my fingertips along his skin.His flesh was melted in several places, as if someone had been putting out cigarettes on him for longer than even he could remember.I racked my brain for a memory of Atlas with these scars before I…before I

Chapter: What They Did to Me
**ATLAS**I could not decide which weighed heavier on my chest—the numbness creeping through every wound on my body, or the quiet sound of Ledger drawing breath behind me.Calista had refused to let me put him in the boot. She had looked at me like I had lost my damn mind, and perhaps I had. But it did not matter now. None of it mattered. Calista was breathing beside me, soft and steady, and it was enough to keep me going, just the sound of it.The moment the car cruised to a halt in my driveway, she got out on the other end and yanked open the backseat door.Damnit, woman, slow down…I heaved a breath as my body peeled off the leather and a sharp sting rocked my back, but my feet found the stone floor and I moved around the hood and found Calista's lips pursed in deep concentration as she half dragged Ledger's pale body from the seat. She staggered back, and I thrust out my arm.“Easy…let me do it.”She grunted in response and tugged again.“Calista…”“I know, I know…” her breath h

**ATLAS**I never flinched when I saw the gun. Lily was left handed, finger already on the trigger.Too far to disarm.Calista was standing behind my right shoulder.If she fired center mass, I would fall backwards onto her.I kept her behind me, telling myself that if she was still alive, that was more than enough for now.“Going somewhere, dear?” My mother's voice cut through my mind. I turned my neck to find her hand still firm on Ledger's shoulder. His lips had turned a bluish purple, and it dawned on me just how much was at stake.“I did not put it past you to have a backup plan, but this?” I waved a hand, turning my glare to Lily's form, “... this is just pathetic.”“Whatever gets the job done, love. Kill them.” She nodded to Lily, voice sounding almost bored.My body tensed as Lily stepped forward, but I did not move back, did not give her the satisfaction of watching me cower like an animal. I stared into her dark grey pools, but I was not searching for the woman I used to

A violent shiver tore through me, forcing my teeth into my bleeding lip just to keep them from chattering.I had stopped praying for rescue.Now I was only praying for the courage not to break. My lungs felt as if someone had reached into my chest and grabbed hold of them, squeezing tight without mercy. Nausea clawed at my throat, but I clenched my stomach and tried to keep my eyes open, to not feel the goosebumps crawling over my skin.My scalp still burned from Lily's vicious grip, but I lifted my head up as a tear snuck its way down my cheek.Nobody was coming to save me. Too much time had passed since I saw Atlas, since he cradled me in his arms like he was scared to break me.Now my body itched for the warmth of his hard chest, his hairy hands cradling me deeper into his embrace.

Chapter: Would You Rather?
**ATLAS**My mother used to measure my height against the kitchen doorframe, beaming with pride every time I outgrew the pencil mark she had made the year before. Standing before me now, wearing that same smile as she admired the chains biting into my wrists, I found myself wondering whether people truly rotted from the inside—or whether they simply woke up one morning and decided to bury whatever was left of their hearts.For my mother, it must have been the latter. And sitting in this chair, I found it almost ironic that I had run so far from this place only to be dragged right back in chains. Maybe we never really outrun our demons. We just ran in circles around them until they reached out to grab us. But my bones had grown weary from running, with every word Ledger said still clouding my mind even as his face paled and the smell of his blood hung in the air. I did not flinch under her stare, meeting it with all the anger that I could muster. “Do you ever get tired of playing

Chapter: Last Resort
**CALISTA**My mouth felt like someone had stuffed it with cotton and left it out in the sun.I swallowed and immediately regretted it, feeling a sharp pain blooming behind my eyes—the kind that came after too much alcohol, too little sleep, or a tranquilizer dart fired into your arm by your fiancé's psychotic ex fiancée.For a moment, I lay perfectly still, waiting for my wrists to burn, waiting for the ropes, the cuffs, the chains…anything.Instead, when my hand drifted sluggishly toward my face, my fingers brushed my cheek without resistance.I froze.Then I moved again, slowly and carefully lifting my left hand, then my right. Free.Free?A knot tightened in my stomach. If the Martyrs wanted me restrained, I would be restrained, which meant they had chosen not to tie me up.And somehow, that felt much worse, and I found myself longing for the chains and the certainty of death. But it was not even my freedom that sent my pulse racing. It was the complete absence of blood on my ha

The Madrid deal is still being reviewed—"At the end of the table, Alex’s phone buzzes.At first, he ignores it. Then it buzzes again. And again.

His face is pale."Check Tiff’s blog," he says quietly. Loud enough for those around the table to hear.A ripple passes through the room.Phones light up. Screens open. Jaws drop.Julian's brow furrows. He glances at Alex, then slowly picks up his own phone.Silence settles like a fog.Then come the murmurs. Staggered gasps. A chair scrapes against the marble
