THE ROGUE HE DENIED
“I, Neolani Griffin accept you as my mate,” I beamed, waiting for him excitedly to accept me too.
There was a long pause.
“Who gave you the right to call me by my name?” He snapped, anger dripping from every word he spoke.“Answer me” He barked, eyes locked on mine.
“How do you know my name? It must have been the maidservants right?, I'll have them stripped off their post” He stepped away from me.
“I, Ragnar Gray, reject you Noelani Griffin as my mate”
Neolani never asked to be a rogue. Once an Alpha, once a daughter, her world was in shambles the night her family was murdered and her pack taken hostage by her half-uncle. Now, she’s nothing but a rogue, fighting to survive where wolves like her are despised.
On the run for survival she unkowingly crosses the borders of Alpha Ragnar pack who is known for his cruelty, powerful, merciless, and loyalty to a pack that sees rogues as the enemy. Alpha Ragnar prepares to end her without a second thought, but then he feels it. The bond, she’s his mate.
The one thing he swore he would never want. Worse, his heart already belongs to someone else: his beautiful childhood friend who was mated to his beta, Kendrick. He rejected the bond the moment it burned through him.
But desire doesn’t wait for permission. With every stolen glance, and every reckless touch, the line between hatred begins to blur.
Together, they could ignite a powerful love that is if pride and betrayal don’t destroy them first.

Chapter: Chapter 14RAGNAR’s POVThe hit landed solid. Any regular guy would have been on the floor, but the sheer shock of it locked my muscles in place instead. I swallowed the sharp jolt of pain, my jaw clenching so hard my teeth ached. But before I could even wrap my head around what she had just done, Ajax went entirely berserk in my head. He wasn't trying to protect me, he was screaming at me for putting my hand on her neck in the first place. The pure, desperate affection my wolf had for her slammed into my own consciousness, confusing my anger and making my grip loosen on her skin entirely. I stumbled back a step, my hand dropping from her throat as I tried to separate my own fury from the overwhelming urge Ajax had to just pull her close and protect her.'Look what you did,' he snarled. 'She's shaking.''She just hit my balls.''Because you had your hand around her throat. What did you expect?'I didn't answer him. She was still pressed against the headboard, chest rising fast, glaring at me l

Chapter: Chapter ThirteenNEOLANI's POV I walked towards the pack house. It was so huge that even standing from the mountain one could still see the top floor.I sensed Hannah's presence from behind me. She had been tracing me for a while, but I chose to ignore it.I turned to face her. “You have something to say?” I furrowed my eyebrows.“Yes Luna. I’m sorry for tailing you,” she looked around and leaned in a bit closer. “I wanted to know if you’re okay.”“I’m very much okay,” I said, faking a smile.“But you’re quivering, the pack members look worried.”I turned around to see some of them that passed by me with a worried look.“Don’t you sense their fear? I can tell that they’re too scared to greet you, because they feel you’ll crash out on them,” she whispered.I closed the distance between us. “Really?” I looked around. “What should I do?”“This may sound stupid, but just laugh like I’m telling a funny joke.”I laughed, because of what she said and not because she told me too.“Are you for real?” I laughe

Chapter: Chapter TwelveNOELANI POVThe day finally came.Kendrick snuck into my room before the sun went down, a garment bag slung over his arm. He didn't say much, just dropped it on the bed and told me to be ready in an hour. I stared at the bag for a long moment before I opened it. Inside was a dress, deep emerald green, simple but clearly expensive. I wondered who picked it. Kendrick didn't seem like the type to know fabric from fabric, so maybe Hannah helped. "You're doing this for Hannah too, aren't you," I asked as I walked out of the bathroom with the dress on. "I'm doing this, so Ragnar doesn't ruin two lives instead of one," he shrugged. I didn't answer. What was there to say to that? 'Are you sure about this?' Lana asked quietly in my head. It surprised me. She had been begging for freedom since we came in contact again and now that it was finally within reach, she sounded unsure.'No,' I admitted. 'But I'm doing it anyway.''Good,' she said. 'I want to see his face when you walk up there.'I

Chapter: Chapter Eleven“You said you were going to bring Hannah,” I said to Kendrick when I popped my head from the room searching behind him but couldn't see her. “I wish I could. Hannah can't come because Ragnar tends to spend time with her and if she's not available he'd search for her.” Kendrick rolled his eyes. “Now imagine if she was here,” he said as he closed the door shut behind him. “Did you tell her about Ragnar’s feelings?”“Yes I did, as soon as I went to the park house yesterday.” He sat on the sofa, flipping through the pages of a book I had begged Ivana to help me get from the library to get rid of boredom. “There's a pack house?” I asked shocked.He stared blankly at me. “Of course there is.” “Oh, it's just that we didn't have one back in Crescent Moon pack. My father made sure everyone had their respective homes. He said it was to avoid conflict.” “Comming to think of it, I didn't notice. The last time I went to your pack I was still a teenager,” he scratched the back of his head. “

Chapter: Chapter TenNEOLANI POV“How did you know?” I asked, watching him as he leaned back on the sofa.“I saw you attack him,” Kendrick said, with a grin slowly forming. “And he didn't kill you.” He shrugged, as if the answer was obvious. “That only means you're his mate.”“I'm not.” The words came out clipped and defensive. “I attacked him for a reason,” I stated, folding my arms across my chest. “I'm fed up with him.”“You don’t need to lie, it's obvious.”He was quiet for some time. ”I know who you are. I know who your father is,” He rose from the sofa slowly. “You're from the Crescent Pack.”I didn't utter a word, he did the same, staring blankly at me waiting for a reply.A lump formed in my throat as memories I had buried resurfaced about my family and the last time I ever saw them.“Crescent Pack is no more,” I whispered. I tilted my head back fighting the stings in my eyes, blinking them rapidly. “My family was killed, I got lucky and survived as a rogue until I met Ragnar.”Despite how simple

Chapter: Chapter Nine RAGNAR POVI was grateful Hannah hadn't seen Noelani. If she had… what would have happened? How had Noelani even escaped her room? My thoughts roamed as my chest throbbed with that cursed, burning ache. A constant reminder of the mate bond I refused to accept, intensified. Rejecting one's mate always has repercussions, but to hell with it. The moment Noelani said my name, it stirred something in me that I couldn't comprehend, something I didn't want to. Ajax kept on chanting in my head to accept and mark her to make her ours. I refused, I wasn't the one interested in her and never would be. At least I was being honest and not toying with her feelings.Weeks had passed since I last laid eyes on Neolani. The throbbing pain in my chest became something I got used to, no longer flinching as much as before. Ajax kept on pestering to see her and never stopped whining about her, saying she couldn't handle the pain the way I could. Our wolves were bound, but our human halves were not. It was

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-FourI had no idea why I called him by his first name. I clearly was not intoxicated, so why did it slip out? He stirred slightly, mumbling something incoherent into the leather cushion.“Please can you help me lift him?” I asked the nearest security guard, who looked entirely unbothered by the request but hauled Brian’s dead weight upright anyway, one arm slung heavy across my shoulders, his full weight nearly folding me in half as we half walked, half dragged him toward the exit.We got him into my car, and I laid him across the back seat, slamming the door before I could second-guess the entire situation any further than I already had.Halfway through the drive, a low, rough grunt came from the back seat, and I glanced in the rearview mirror just in time to see him tugging viciously at his tie, fumbling with the buttons of his shirt with the uncoordinated determination of the very drunk. His eyes were still closed. “Absolutely not,” I said out loud to no one, pressing harder on the a

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-ThreeI had not worn anything like the dress she picked out for me in years, completely different from anything currently living in my closet. Becky had pulled from the emergency bag of options she apparently kept in her car for exactly this kind of ambush.I changed into a black and white striped mini dress. The top of the dress was loose and sculptural, draping around my chest before narrowing sharply at my waist. From there, the fabric hugged my hips and curves, fitting snugly over my lower body before ending high on my thighs. The strapless neckline left my shoulders completely bare, exposing my cleavage, while the long fabric draped from one side of my waist, falling almost to my ankles and swaying against my legs whenever I moved. I slipped into a pair of black strappy heels, wrapping the thin straps around my ankles, then glanced at myself in the mirror. The outfit was definitely bolder than what I usually wore.She curled my hair into loose waves I never bothered with for work, swap

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-TwoI opened my mouth to argue further, but caught the flat, immovable look already settling back over his face, and closed it again, swallowing the protest.I didn’t go down for dinner.I sat on the edge of the unfamiliar guest bed instead, still in my work clothes, listening to rain hammer violently against the window, refusing every offer from Brian’s household staff to send up a plate. The moment I was sure no one could hear me through the walls, I called Becky.“Please tell me you’re not still at that ball,” she answered, with a little laugh.“I wish. I’m at Brian’s, because of the storm.” I took a sharp breath. “Selena’s here. She’s currently downstairs, parading around in a silk robe that barely qualifies as clothing.”“Wait. Why do you even care that she’s in a robe?”“I don’t know,” I sighed. “I sound jealous don’t I?” “Yup. What happened to putting him aside.”“I hate it here. I hate staying close to him,” I said, pulling my knees up to my chest, the confession coming out smal

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-OneI was at the office before seven the next morning. Brian’s office stayed dark and empty the entire day. No emails, no summons, nothing. I had the best state of mind. By eleven I had almost convinced myself he had taken the day off entirely, some small, petty relief blooming in my chest at the thought of an entire day without him.At noon, an email finally landed in my inbox. It was from Brian. ‘Bring the Lindqvist renewal documents and the quarterly projections binder to my residence. Address below. I need them reviewed today.’I stared at the unfamiliar downtown address for a long moment, something uneasy twisting low in my stomach, before gathering the files and heading down to my car.The moment I stepped inside Brian’s penthouse, I knew it was exactly what I had expected from him. Huge glass windows overlooked the water, flooding the sleek, modern living room with natural light. Everything was spotless, dark furniture, polished floors, expensive décor. Beautiful, but cold.It sme

Chapter: Chapter ThrityI was still holding my drink when she found me again.“Enjoying yourself,” Brian’s date said, appearing at my shoulder with that same practiced smile that never reached her eyes.“I’m working,” I said flatly.“Working,” she repeated, amused. “Right. Is that what we’re calling it.”“You know,” she continued, stepping closer, “Brian mentioned you used to be someone important here. Managing Director, wasn’t it?” She tilted her head. “Funny how far people fall when they’re not actually as necessary as they think they are.”“If you’ll excuse me—”Her hand shot out, flicking my glass upward. Red wine hit my chest in a cold, dark splash, soaking straight through the fabric of my gown.A sharp gasp rippled through the small cluster of guests nearest us, someone’s champagne glass pausing halfway to their lips, a woman nearby pressing a hand to her own mouth in shock.The crystal embellishments across my bodice, which had been catching the chandelier light all evening, went dull instantly, weigh

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Nine“Eighteen point five million—” Suddenly, a paddle snapped up from the very back of the room.My eyes widened. The rival bidder wasn’t finished; he had tried to catch Brian off guard. A few people laughed nervously at the sheer theater of it. Brian’s jaw visibly tightened. His dark gaze never broke from mine as his hand went up.“Eighteen point eight million.”A collective gasp moved through the ballroom like a wave. The rival bidder stared at him for several agonizing seconds, his face turning a deep crimson, before raising his paddle one final time.“Eighteen point nine.”Brian didn’t even wait for the auctioneer to breathe. “Twenty million.”The entire room fell into an absolute, suffocating silence. The rival bidder slowly lowered his paddle in defeat. The auctioneer looked around, almost breathless himself. “Twenty million dollars. Do I hear twenty point one?”Nothing.“Going once.”My heartbeat pounded violently against my ribs, the sound roaring in my own ears. Brian’s gaze rem
