The Rejected plump omega becomes his obsession
Rejected. Humiliated and unwanted.
That’s how the entire kingdom saw curvy omega Maeve Carter after Alpha heir Zayne publicly shattered their mate bond, mocking her body and calling her unfit to stand beside him as Luna.
Devastated, Maeve runs into a deadly blizzard and wakes up in the arms of the last man she expected, Rowan Ashcroft, Zayne’s estranged cousin and the rebellious captain of the Ice Wolves hockey team. Rowan offers her the ultimate revenge: pretend to be his girlfriend for one season.
What starts as a simple plan for payback quickly spirals. Maeve’s strength and fire challenge Rowan in ways no one ever has. His unexpected kindness and fierce protection begin to heal her broken heart. But as their fake relationship turns heated and real, ancient secrets about rejected mates come to light,
Zayne’s wolf awakens with a terrifying possessiveness he never felt when she was his.
Now the two cousins are headed for war, and Maeve stands in the center, wanted by the man who broke her and cherished by the one who might destroy everything to keep her.

Chapter: Chapter 134Chapter 134Rowan"Two hours," I said, staring through the binoculars at the iron gates for what had to be the hundredth time. "It's been two hours and eleven minutes, Teresa.""I know what time it is.""She said two hours. Two hours or the word fountain. We've had neither.""I can count, Rowan."We were crouched in the trees on a low ridge maybe two hundred yards above the Silverbrook gates, the four of us, Teresa and Petra and Cole and me. The ground was frozen hard under my knees. The cold had gotten through my jacket an hour ago, and I'd stopped feeling my fingers somewhere around the ninety minute mark. From up here we could see the whole long driveway lined with birch trees, the steam coming off the hot springs, the white main house with all its tall windows catching the low winter sun. Sloane's little blue car was still parked in the circle out front exactly where they'd left it.Nobody had come out. Nobody had gone in. The gates had stayed shut since the second they closed beh

Chapter: Chapter 133Chapter 133MiaTwo men in gray uniforms had come out onto the porch behind her. They weren't carrying towels or trays like the others. They were just standing there with their hands folded in front of them, smiling.I thought about hitting send right then. Fountain. One tap. Rowan and Teresa and the two enforcers would come through those gates in thirty seconds.But then what? Celia had already shut the gates behind us. She already knew who Maeve was. If Rowan came crashing in now, the first thing those smiling men in gray would do was get between us and whatever was inside this house. And Sloane would never see her mother.I took my thumb off the screen. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and walked up the steps and set it in the basket on top of the others, and I smiled at Celia while I did it, the biggest, brightest, most grateful smile I owned."Honestly? Obsessed," I said. "I need a detox so bad."Maeve put hers in the basket next. Then Sloane, slowly, her eyes on Celia's face

Chapter: Chapter 132Chapter 132 Maeve Sloane didn't say a single word for the first hour. Neither did Mia, who'd promised her she wouldn't. I'd never seen my sister keep a promise like that in her life. She just sat there with her hands in her lap, looking at the back of Sloane's head, and every few minutes Sloane would glance up into the rearview mirror at her, and something would pass between them that I didn't have a name for yet.Somewhere around the lakes, Mia finally turned to me."You have to teach me how to do makeup like a real crew person," she said quietly, so she wouldn't bother Sloane. "Or they'll know. Real crew people do it different. Faster. They don't care what it looks like at the end, they just want it done before the light changes."I stared at her. "Mia. You've been doing your own makeup for a hundred thousand people since you were fifteen.""Yeah, but I do it like me. I need to do it like you.""Like me? I put on mascara in the car on the way to work.""Exactly. That's the energy.

Chapter: Chapter 131Chapter 131Maeve"I've been there," Mia said, climbing out of the passenger side of Sloane's car before it had even stopped rolling. "Silverbrook. I've been there. I've stood in that garden."It was barely light out. The pack hall parking lot was empty except for Teresa's black car and Rowan's truck and the two enforcers Teresa had brought, a big quiet man named Cole and a woman with a long braid named Petra, both standing by the truck with travel mugs of coffee steaming in the cold. Rowan had been leaning against the truck bed going over a printed map with Teresa when Sloane's car pulled in. Now everyone was looking at my sister."What do you mean, you've been there?" Teresa said."Last spring. A sponsored post." Mia was already pulling her phone out of her coat pocket, her hands shaking a little. "They paid me to film a video. Two minutes. Wellness, self care, all that stuff. I forgot all about it until last night, until Sloane showed me..." She stopped and glanced back at the car.

Chapter: Chapter 130Chapter 130 Mia I didn't tell her it was going to be okay. I didn't know that it was. I didn't tell her we'd find her mother tomorrow or that everything would work out. I'd learned that from her, the afternoon I put my head in her lap and told her the worst thing I'd ever said and she just said, yeah, that was bad.I put my arms around her. That was all. I pulled her against me and held on, and she turned and pressed her face into my shoulder and cried into my shirt until it was soaked through, and I held the back of her head with one hand the way she'd held mine, my fingers moving through her short hair, slowly, over and over.I don't know how long we sat there. Long enough that my legs went numb on the hard floor. Long enough that the crying slowed down to hiccups and then to shaky breathing and then to nothing, just her face in my neck and her hands holding fistfuls of the back of my shirt."I'm sorry," she said into my shoulder."Don't you dare.""I got snot on your shirt.""It'

Chapter: Chapter 129Chapter 129Mia"I'm going," Sloane said, already digging her keys out of her jacket pocket with shaking fingers. "Right now. I don't care where it is. North is north. I'll drive until I find it.""You don't even know what you're looking for," Teresa said from the top of the steps. She came down two at a time and stopped in front of Sloane. "Silverbrook could be a town. A road. A building. A street name. You'll drive in circles for three days and get yourself killed by whoever's guarding those women.""Then I'll drive in circles.""Give me one day. My people are pulling Richard's financial records right now. If there's a ledger with payments to a place up north, there's an address on it. One day, and I'll put it in your hand.""I've waited twenty two years." Sloane's voice cracked down the middle. "Twenty two years, Teresa. Don't you dare tell me to wait one more day."She turned toward her car. Her hands were shaking so hard she dropped the keys on the gravel and had to bend down and
