His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha
“I do not have a mate.”
Those words shattered Adele Vernon’s world.
Forced into a marriage to save her pack, Adele is handed over to Alpha Demarion Jones, a man feared by all and loved by none. On the very day she arrives, fate reveals its cruelest truth. He is her mate.
And he rejects her.
Trapped in a castle that feels more like a prison, Adele must endure Demarion’s rules, his coldness, and the presence of his mistress. Yet no matter how harsh he becomes, the mate bond refuses to loosen its grip. As desire, jealousy, and resentment collide, Demarion finds himself unraveling under the pull of the very woman he swore he did not want.

Chapter: Chapter 204*Adele's point of view*Guilt flickered across my mother's face, but there was no anger.Only sorrow.And love."Adele," she said softly.I slowly stepped out of Demarion's embrace and moved toward her bedside.Every step felt heavier than the last."Everyone walks their own path." Her voice cracked. "My path led me away from an abusive mate... and eventually to your father."She smiled sadly."Your path led you through every hardship that shaped you into the woman standing before me. A strong woman." She paused, her eyes filled with admiration. "I know I wasn't there."She swallowed hard and her voice trembled when her next words came out of her mouth."I wasn't there to hold your hand. I wasn't there to pick you up after you scraped your knee." Another tear rolled down her cheek. "I wasn't there to tell you to get back on your feet when life knocked you down."Her hand slowly reached toward me."But you got back up anyway." Her fingertips gently brushed my cheek. "You always got bac

Chapter: Chapter 203*Adele's point of view*Dr. Sarah stood beside my mother's bed and calmly explained what was about to happen."According to the latest imaging results, the tear in her lung has completely healed because of her wolf's accelerated healing. It took a little longer because the stake had been poisoned, but once we flushed the poison out of her system, she recovered much faster."We are now going to remove the breathing tube and place her on oxygen through a nasal cannula instead. We have also stabilized her heart, and it has regained its strength. Her EEG readings show that her brain activity is increasing, which means she is preparing to wake up."She paused for a brief moment before continuing."Since we medically induced the coma ourselves, we will now administer medication to reverse it. If everything goes well, she should wake up within the next few hours. I do have to warn you that every patient is different. She could wake up sooner than expected, or it could take a little longer."

Chapter: Chapter 202*Adele's point of view*A loud chorus of shocked gasps swept across the chamber.No one could believe what they had just heard.I had openly disagreed with the Vampire Elders.Even they looked genuinely surprised.For the first time since entering the room, cracks appeared in their calm expressions. But I had already started. There was no turning back now."Maya did not come to us because she was weak," I said firmly. "She came because she chose to honor her father's dying wish."I looked at each Elder as I continued."She trusted King Draco's judgment. She respected the alliance he created with our pack, and she honored the decision he made before his death."I drew in a deep breath."That was not cowardice. It was responsibility. It was humility."I let my words land effectively before continuing."In your long lives, I have no doubt you have met rulers whose pride was so great that they would rather lose everything than admit they needed help. Even when death stood before them, the

Chapter: Chapter 201*Adele's point of view*A heartbeat later, the seven Elders entered.They moved with calm, measured steps, almost gliding across the floor. Their long robes swept low enough to hide their feet, making it impossible to hear them walking.Even though they were elderly men, there was nothing frail about them.They were remarkably tall, their presence commanding immediate respect. Every face had the same stern expression, one that revealed neither warmth nor emotion. Their snow-white hair matched the long beards that reached their chests. Their hands remained folded neatly in front of them, hidden beneath the wide sleeves of their robes.The entire room fell into complete silence. Then, beside me, I heard the faintest snort.I glanced over just in time to see George secretly copying the slow, graceful walk of one of the Elders.Maya pressed her lips together, but it was too late. The giggle escaped her, although not loud enough to draw attention.Kade leaned closer without taking his eyes

Chapter: Chapter 200*Adele's point of view*By the time the sun rose the next morning, every trace of the battle had almost disappeared. The bodies had been taken away, the survivors had been moved to the clinic, and the pack grounds looked exactly as they always did.It was almost unsettling. Just hours earlier, history had been made on those very grounds, yet anyone walking through would have thought it had been an ordinary night.Cindy's condition had improved greatly during the night. Dr. Sarah examined her again that morning and said she was recovering well enough to be discharged soon.Elora was getting stronger too. Her heart had regained its strength, and although she was still trapped in a coma, Serenity's power continued to heal her from the inside. It would not be long before she finally opened her eyes.As soon as word spread that Viraj was dead, the members of Maya's clan who had been hiding began making their way home. They were waiting for their queen to return, and because of that, the Va

Chapter: Chapter 199*Demarion's point of view*"I did it!" Edric shouted nearby, his laugh echoing across the field. "I won! I am the champion! From this day on, every one of you will bow to me!"He was standing a few steps away with his back to me, completely unaware.The second my eyes opened, a sudden burst of energy ran through my body, and I pushed myself up from the blood-stained dirt and stood on my feet once more.The deep stab wound in my chest was completely gone. Every cut, bruise, and trace of poison had vanished as if they had never been there.Fresh energy rushed through my body, my heart pounded with power, and every muscle felt alive again.I was ready to fight.Beside Edric, his helper Kade smirked, until he looked at me. His mouth dropped open in complete shock. Edric noticed the sudden silence and spun around.His jaw nearly hit the ground.I stood tall and healthy behind him, meeting his terrified look with a cool smile."What?" Edric shouted, stumbling back. "That's impossible! You s

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Two-- Grizelda --The atmosphere in the park was alive with excited peals of children's laughter, the rhythmic creak of swings sets and occasional bark of dogs.I sat on a wooden bench, my hands rested on my lap, sunglasses shielded my eyes.I could have been any parent watching their child play except for the fact that a few feet away, Leo was clambering over Alexander Kingston like he was a jungle gym.I'll admit that it felt a bit weird to see him like this. The ever playful, jungle-like, fun lover father. Unlike the days of our marriage, there were no children to watch him play with this way. No son, no daughter. Hence I was used to the scene of him being in a boardroom or in a suit.Instead, he wore a plain T-shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers. His hair was slightly ruffled and a bit of mud on his arm from when Leo tackled him.I could hear the joy in Leo's giggle as he planted his foot on Alex's chest and squealed "I won Dad."Alexander grinned up at him.

Chapter: Chapter Ninety One-- Alexander --The numbers on the screen blurred until they were nothing but black smudges. I'd been staring at the same spreadsheet for what felt like hours, trying to make sense of the chaos and mismatched numbers. But no matter how many times I scanned the columns, the figures refused to align or offer the clarity I desperately needed. Maybe they couldn’t, not when my mind was split.A sharp knock jolted me out of my spiraling thoughts and the next thing, Nicholas walked in. He leaned against the frame. “You’re going to carve grooves into that desk if you keep staring at it like that.”I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake the tension out of my shoulders. “I’m working,” I muttered, though the protest sounded hollow even to him.“Nope. You’re pretending to work. Big difference.” Nicholas said, stepping fully into the room, arms crossed. “Last time I saw you this distracted, was when the company was crashing. Difference is… this time, there's nothing keeping the company on edge. Everyth

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-- Grizelda --The applause from the boardroom still rung in my ears as I watched the horizon from my window. I always thought it was the most beautiful sight ever. I could spend minutes just watching the skyline, as I surrendered myself to the beauty of nature.The streets shimmered with headlights. I glanced at my phone. There had been no missed calls, no messages from him asking about Leo’s day. This was unlike him. He had been sending for months like clockwork and it became a regular part of my mornings. Now, it had been weeks and I hadn’t seen him. There was no meeting at the school gate or any other chanced meeting that might have forced a conversation.As if he was gone and never coming back but I knew that was not true. It couldn't be true.Then why did I have to keep reminding myself of that in the first place?I picked my bag and jacket, gave my assistant a slight nod, and stepped into the elevator. The vacuumed space of the elevator quietened the storm in my head. I hated

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Nine-- Grizelda --As soon as his lips landed softly on mine, I lost all my ability to think clearly. I couldn't afford to pretend I was thinking straight any longer. All through out our conversation, I couldn't keep my eyes off his lips, his eyes, his hair, his muscles, the flex of his arm while he brought food to his mouth a while ago during breakfast. The flex of his jaw. I couldn't think straight!He kissed me and I kissed him back. I gasped softly when his hands found its way to the small of my back and he brought me closer to his chest.God, I wanted him so bad.I had never felt so horny in a long time. I felt extremely hot inside. Like some fire inside me refused to go off.I heard myself moan when his hands tightened around my waist, pulling me close, allowing me to feel the bulge in his pants. He was erect already? I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe I was doing this to him. I couldn't believe we were doing this.He pulled from me, breaking the kiss and sounding breathles

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Eight-- Alexander --I pulled on a nice pair of suit, arranged my hair, wore my favorite scent, stared at myself a little too much in the mirror and then I decided I was ready.I had slept very late last night which I didn't expect on my first day at home. I missed home. I missed everything. But home was a little too quiet for me now that I could barely find the sleep as early as I should've. Lucy was not here anymore, neither was Spencer. Not that I missed them much.Maybe I just wondered how Spencer was doing from time to time but that was it. All that filled my mind most was my baby boy. My one and only. That was why as soon as I got Grizelda's text last night, I knew it was duty calls. I needed to visit again as soon as possible. I was very much aware that we had planned tonight but I said fuck it. I couldn't be too busy to spend time with my family.I took in a deep breath and headed out the front door. This was the best I could do as a responsible father. After all, I'd been away for

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Seven-- Grizelda --The house was quiet. Leo went to bed early, tired from the energy he'd used up during his birthday party. He seemed satisfied with the way things had turned out. After all, his father was finally back from his long travel. And here I was, eyes wide open instead of being asleep at such a late hour. I was tired too, but I just couldn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. Alexander. Like he was suddenly the man of my dreams. If I wasn't going crazy, he probably looked more handsome than when I'd first fallen in love with him before our marriage. Something about him... something about him made me feel like a teenager with a crush in high school again. When he looked at me...What in the world?I shot my head up from my pillow like it was the reason I was overthinking. I got up and paced. Why was I thinking about him like this?I rubbed my arms, suddenly cold."It's just hormones." I muttered. "Either that or too much champagne."Except I hadn't drank anything.I

Chapter: Chapter 34(Chelsea's POV)It was quarter past seven, when the office had already surrendered to shadows and the cleaning crew's vacuum hummed three floors below. I'd stayed late organizing Leonard's calendar for the following week, a task that should have taken twenty minutes but stretched into two hours because I kept reading the same entries twice.I had been heavily distracted. I found it unfortunately so hard to concentrate that I actually stayed late. Again. This time, being my fault for letting Bianca’s visit get to my head. I couldn't stop thinking about it. The way she had looked at me. The way the alarms in my head had gone off.She seemed like someone to never be messed with. Even though she was no longer married to Leonard, for some reasons, she had still scared the shit out of me. I had only made efforts to hide it.The sudden sound of approaching footsteps made me flinch. It was Leonard. He walked towards me and stopd in front of my desk."You're still here," he said in that low vo

Chapter: Chapter 33(Leonard's POV)Unlike other people, Bianca never made an announcement. The general public passed through reception, provided their identities, waited for authorisation, and, if denied, accepted the response.Bianca passed through doors as if they were designed specifically for her. She didn't enquire about her greeting. She acted as though the room owed her a warm welcome. Jenna's speech sounded strained and a little out of breath because of this as she announced through the intercom that Bianca was here.My ex wife.I didn’t look up from the file on my desk. I kept reading, kept my pen moving, kept my posture calm. I could already envision her as vividly as if she were there in front of me, but the words in front of me blurred nonetheless. flawless hair. Excellent posture.Her eyes never met her flawless smile. I clenched my fingers around the pen till I felt like it would break."How did she manage to bypass security?"

Chapter: Chapter 32(Chelsea's POV)I didn't get much sleep. I always saw him in front of my door when I closed my eyes. Beside my head, Adrian's fingers pressed against the wall. When he claimed that I still belonged to him, his voice trailed off. the assurance it contains. As if I were something he had lost, rather than someone who had left.My nerves were ragged by dawn. In an attempt to calm something inside of me that would not go away, I stood in front of the bathroom mirror for longer than usual and brushed my hair back harder than I should have.The drive down to work felt longer than usual. Every time the car stopped at a traffic light, my shoulders tightened, half expecting Adrian to show up like he had done the night before.When the doors finally opened and I stepped out in front of the big, tall building which waited ahead for me, relief washed through me so fast it almost made me dizzy.My mind kept replaying his words. You’re still mine. No one else can have you.I clenched my fists. He fe

Chapter: Chapter 31(Chelsea's POV)The scent of burnt toast and old carpet shampoo filled the corridor outside my apartment. Every evening, the faint overhead light flickered and the building's wiring decided to warn everyone that it was tired, and the scent was the same. I'd been here long enough to know which stairwells were always drafty, which neighbours slammed their doors, and which floorboards squeaked.Nothing felt familiar that night. I felt cold holding my keys. My shoulder was cut by my bag. It was the kind of fatigue that sat in your bones, and my body was already hurting from the day.Leonard's fingerprint-like gaze, meetings, and my own anxiety whenever my phone buzzed were all things I had forced myself to endure. I had promised myself that after I got home, I would lock the door, take a shower, and act as though no one could get to me.Then I caught sight of him. Like he belonged there, Adrian leaned against the wall close to my door. He had his suit jacket open. For someone who seemed t

I kept my face neutral anyway, even if my cheeks begged to be flushed when I thought of the kind of relationship Leonard and I seemed to be in now. But I needed to stay professional. That was my job.I didn't want to think about Leonard Grey’s hand between my thighs, my breath breaking on his fingers.Those thoughts stayed buried under work. I recited a few sentences in my head that should help.Do not look at him too long.Do not flinch when he comes close.Do not let him hear your heartbeat.Eventually, Leonard and I walked to the conference room where a meeting was to be held. We walked side by side, his strides closely matching mine. Like we were partners. Like we were a couple.People glanced up as we passed, and I began to overthink.

And most especially not there.The café door chimed when I stepped inside, and the smell of coffee beans and warm sugar wrapped around me, surprisingly cooling my nerves.
