BOUGHT BY THE ALPHA WHO DESPISES ME
I, Knox Mercer, future Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, reject you, Mila Carter, as my mate.”
Seven years ago, Alpha Knox Mercer rejected me as his mate… in front of everyone.
He rejected the bond because I was a lowly omega.
Now I’m forced onto a legal auction stage to pay a debt to my pack, and get money for my dad's treatment, Knox is the last person I expect to see there.
He sees me and he recognizes me. And with a single bid, Knox Mercer buys me—claiming what he once rejected.
The bond between us flares back to life.
The hatred lingers.
And the desire? That’s impossible to ignore.
How can I live with the Alpha that hates me and once rejected me?
And How can I deny this force of attraction between us.

Chapter: Chapter 270: Do everything I can to end thisMila’s POVI stared at Supreme in annoyance, there was something different about him and sonething he clearly wasn’t telling me.The confidence he’d carried in the Underworld was gone.He looked tired now like he was haunted.“What exactly is happening?” I asked.Supreme remained silent for a moment before finally speaking. “The king found a way to escape and it dosen’t have to do with your blood anymore, I was just teasing you”My heart dropped.“What?”“Listen to me” he said and I pinched his arm, he grunted and continued“He hasn’t completely broken the seal.”“Not yet.”“But he’s found a weakness.”I stood immediately.“How?”“I don’t know everything.”Supreme looked toward the forest. “But he discovered that the barrier between the Underworld and your world has weakened.”A cold feeling settled in my stomach.“So that’s why you came here?”He nodded.“The king sent me and several other demons to scout the human realm.”“To find a way out.”I swallowed.“How many of you?”“More th

The peaceful feeling I’d had only moments ago disappeared completely.Someone was coming.I turned toward the trees, squinting through the branches.Nothing. Then a shadow suddenly burst through the bushes.A sword flashed in the moonlight and I gasped.The figure rushed straight toward me, I instinctively ducked.The sword sliced through the air above my head.“What the hell”I stumbled backward, grabbing the towel I’d left on the riverbank.The attacker didn’t stop, well I couldn’t exactly fight naked, I wrapped the towel around me quickly and the psycho swung again.I jumped aside, barely avoiding the blade.My feet slipped on the wet stones, i almost fell into the river.The attacker raised the sword again and I grabbed the nearest branch and used it to block the strike.The impact sent a sharp vibration through my arms.“Who are you?”They didn’t answe

His fingers were warm, and they didn’t stop at the hem of my dress. They kept going upwards, slow and deliberate, until they found the bare skin above my knee and squeezed. Across from me, Conrad watched us with dark eyes and a lazy smirk, swirling the wine in his glass like he already knew exactly how this was going to end. Marcus sat at the head of the table, silent as usual with his posture relaxed, but the gold ring around his irises had already started to brighten. He hadn’t touched his food in five minutes.I tried to keep eating. Tried to pretend the fork in my hand was still useful and I could taste my food. Caleb’s fingers climbed higher. When they brushed the lace of my underwear I su

Chapter: Chapter 267: Made a choiceMila’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about the crack in the earth, and the damage that may have happened to it.It was the place where I’d fallen into the Underworld with Bastian and also the place where everything had changed.For days, I’d tried to push the memory of that day aside but now that my powers had returned, I needed to know something.Had the demons been able to escape?Had the crack remained sealed?Or had something happened while we were gone?I needed answers and fast, because that would be the only way to know if we were really safe or not.I decided to talk to my mate and checked for him, I found him in the training yard with Jacob, he was shirtless and doing some excercise with the warriors.I watched him for a while, noticing how his abs flexed and how handsome he looked, like a sculpted god.When he was done, Jacob came to him and they were were going through patrol reports when I approached them.Jacob was doing well so far, I knew he was a good choice for Beta.

Chapter: Chapter 266: DesiresHansel’s povHe’s already got me pinned when the door shuts behind us.My back hits the wall hard enough to knock the air from my lungs, but Marcus doesn’t give me time to catch my breath.His mouth crashes over mine in a hungry, demanding claim, the kind of kiss that says mine without a single word.“Been thinking about this all day since I saw you in my office,” he growls against my lips. One of his hands fists in my hair, tilting my head so he can deepen the kiss. The other shoves my skirt up to my waist. His fingers find the soaked lace panties between my thighs and he rips it to shreds. “Hey” i protest but he only chuckles “Walking around in that little dress, looking like you needed to be fucked, did you wear it for me, Hansel?” He asks I can only nod, already panting. He doesn’t wait for more. Two thick fingers push inside me without warning, stretching, curling, finding that spot that makes my knees buckle. I cry out into his mouth. He swallows the sound and works me h

And somehow, my brother had found a way to make himself involved in all of it.I was sitting on my bed, staring at the dress spread across my lap when my phone buzzed.Aiden ugly twin: Be ready by eight.I frowned and typed back.Aria: For what?His reply came almost immediately.Aiden: Party, you need to come, and stop being such a nerdI groaned, of course he wants to force me to join his annoying activities Another message appeared.Aiden ugly twin: Don’t even think about saying no.I rolled my eyes.Aria: I wasn’t going to.That was a lie.I absolutely had been going to say no.I’d barely been at school long enough to figure out where my classrooms were. The last thing I wanted was to attend some huge party filled with people I barely knew.But Aiden wouldn’t stop bothering me and apparently Noah had joined his campaign.By seven

I sat up slowly and looked around my room.Everything was still exactly where I’d left it the night before. My clothes were neatly arranged in the wardrobe. My books were stacked on the desk. My little stuffed rabbit was sitting against the pillow.I smiled and then I remembered something, I wasn’t on the couch anymore but I had fallen asleep there.I quickly got out of bed and opened the door.The living room was empty.I frowned.Had Orion carried me back to my room?I looked down at myself then I noticed the blanket folded neatly over the back of the couch.I walked toward the kitchen and Orion was standing at the counter, he was already dressed in black sweatpants and a plain gray shirt.His hair was slightly messy, like he’d just showered.He glanced at me.“Morning.”“Morning.”I s

Chapter: Chapter 010: Not so bad anymoreOrion’s POVThe sound of my car engine echoed through the parking garage as I pulled into my usual spot.It was nearly midnight and the race had gone well.Better than well, actually. I’d won.Usually, that would have been enough to put me in a good mood. Tonight, however, my mind kept drifting back to one thing.Aiden’s little sister, Aria.I still couldn’t believe I had agreed to let her stay with me. My peaceful apartment had been invaded by a girl who had somehow managed to leave traces of herself everywhere in less than a day.A pink hair tie on the kitchen counter and a pair of pink shoes was beside the couch. There was a tiny stuffed rabbit on the shelf in the guest room.And somehow, the place already felt different.I grabbed my bag and headed upstairs. The apartment was quiet when I unlocked the door.I stepped inside and dropped my keys onto the counter. “Aria?”No answer.I glanced toward the guest room, the door was open but the room was empty.I frowned.Then I heard a s

I stood in the middle of my room, staring at the pink suitcase sitting beside my sofa.Pink, in my room. I pinched the bridge of my nose.“What was I thinking…”I already knew the answer.I wasn’t. Aiden had cornered me and Noah had laughed and somehow I agreed to let Aiden’s little sister move into my suite.If anyone had told me a week ago that I’d willingly share my space with another person—especially a girl, I would’ve laughed in their face.Yet here we were. I looked toward the spare bedroom.It wasn’t really a bedroom more like a guest room.It had a bed and a wardrobe with a desk and a bookshelf.A knock sounded on the door. “They’re here.”I opened it.Aiden wheeled Aria’s suitcase inside while Noah carried two smaller bags.Aria stood behind them, looking embarrassed.“I’m really sorry.”“It’s temporary.”“I know.”Aiden placed the suitcase beside the guest room.“See?”He grinned. “I told you it’d

His eyes moved over my face.He was trying to figure out why I looked like I was about to cry.“Aria?” I blinked. “Huh?”“You okay?”His voice was cold.Nothing like the teasing confidence he’d shown during lunch.

Find her.I clenched my fists.“No.”Find her.“I said no.”My breathing became harder and i had to control myself, Nyra was vulnerable right now and she needed to be away from the males in the village.That included me.I knew that but my wolf didn’t care about reason.It only knew that she had run into the forest alone and that something could happen to her.She is ours.I squeezed my eyes shut.“She’s not yours.”A violent growl erupted inside my head.Mate.I froze.The word had appeared again.I didn’t

Lanterns swayed gently in the evening breeze, casting soft pools of light over their smiling faces.After everything we'd been through, it almost felt unreal. Caelum sat across from me, laughing at something Aria had said.I caught myself staring at him again.Instead of staring like a creep, why don’t you go and say hello to our mate My wolf growled Shut up He only grunted and I kept on staring at Caelum, before he could notice, I quickly lowered my eyes and took another bite of bread.Stop looking at him.My wolf gave an amused huff.You like looking at our mate.Be quiet.You keep pretending you don't.I ignored him.Chief Garrick waited patiently until everyone had begun eating before speaking again."So” His eyes settled on us.

None of us moved.I stared at the village, my hand resting on the hilt of my sword."Did he" Aria began. "Just point at Nyra?" I finished.She nodded slowly. "I thought I imagined it."Nyra's face had gone pale. "I've never seen that man before.""You know him?" I asked.She shook her head immediately. "No, I swear I don't."I believed her and the confusion in her eyes was genuine.Still... The way the old man had looked at her made my instincts tense up.He hadn't looked surprised at all, he had looked certain as if he'd been waiting. "We've come this far," I said quietly."We can't turn back now."Neither of them argued.Together, we walked down the winding path toward the village.As we approached, I noticed how small it really was.The stone wall surrounding it was barely twice my height, patched in several places with rough timber where age had begun to wear it away.A wooden sign hung beside the entrance, faded

Chapter: Chapter 040: A strange villageCaelum's POVThe mountains seemed endless.Three days had passed since we left General Rowan's city, and every path looked the same, rocky trails winding through thick forests, towering cliffs that scraped the clouds, and rivers so cold they numbed our feet whenever we crossed them.The excitement of the journey had long disappeared. Now it was simply exhausting.I adjusted the strap of my pack and looked over my shoulder. "Still alive?"Aria groaned dramatically. "Barely."She flopped onto a large rock beside the trail."My legs are officially protesting."Nyra walked past without slowing. "You've complained every hour since sunrise.""Because we've been walking every hour since sunrise!"I laughed quietly. "You wanted adventure.""I wanted adventure," Aria corrected, "not to become adventure."Nyra rolled her eyes, though I noticed the corners of her lips twitch.It was the closest she'd come to smiling all morning."Come on," I said.

He stood close to me with one hand braced on the rail beside mine, the other loosely holding a glass of whiskey he’d barely touched since I brought it to him.“Is Isabella okay?” I askedHe nodded “ yeah, they’re both fine”“You’re staring at me weirdly,” I murmured, letting my voice drop into that low, teasing toneI knew he couldn’t ignore. “Again.”Julian’s mouth curved, slow and dangerous. “Hard not to when you’re standing there looking like that.”I shifted, deliberately, the silk of my short black robe exposing my thighs, I had worn this while he was on the phone. It was barely tied, the belt loose, the fabric sliding open just enough to show the lace of the panties I’d chosen for him. I watched his gaze drop, then climb back up, and I smiled.“Looking like what?” I asked, tipping my head. “Like I belong

Not the tense kind of quiet I had grown used to over the years.Not the silence that came before gunfire or betrayal.This silence was... peaceful.I stood in the middle of the living room with my hands in my pockets, taking it all in.Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patches of light across the hardwood floor.Beyond the glass, the sea stretched endlessly toward the horizon.The only sound was the steady rhythm of waves crashing against the shore.For the first time since I was a teenager no one knew where I was and pressuring me to come back.Julian Hawthorne was dead now, I inhaled deeply and then let the breath out slowly."You're smiling." Aurora's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I turned.She stood in the hallway with one of the moving boxes balanced awkwardly in her arms.A strand of hair had escaped her ponytail and was stuck to her cheek.She looked exhausted and happy.

The room was almost empty now.The bed had been made and the curtains were drawn open, letting the morning sun pour inside.Our suitcases rested neatly beside the door.Everything we owned and everything we had chosen to take into our new life fit inside four pieces of luggage.It felt strange. I had imagined starting over would require more.Instead, it only required courage.Julian emerged from the bedroom wearing a simple black T-shirt and dark jeans. There wasn't a trace of the expensive suits he'd once worn as the Capo.No tailored jacket or expensive watch.The goal was to look as ordinary as possible so we can successfully escape.

I turned my head carefully and Julian was still asleep.His dark hair was slightly messy, and for once the lines of tension that always seemed to crease his face were gone.He looked so handsome and less stressed than when he was the feared Capo everyone spoke about.He was just Julian now. The man who annoyed me and protected me.Loved me.A small smile found its way onto my face. Without thinking, I reached up and brushed a loose strand of hair away from his forehead.His eyes opened immediately."So," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep, "were you planning to stare at me all morning?"I jumped.
