The Alpha Said No
Selina Vanderbilt was raised for one destiny—to become a Luna. Groomed into perfection, she believed her future was secure until everything crumbled on her wedding day. In front of her entire pack, her fated mate, Alpha Matteo, uttered the words that shattered her world: he rejected her.
Humiliated and heartbroken, Selina is swept into chaos as war erupts between rival packs. Forced to flee, she escapes into the human world, where no one knows her name, her lineage, or the pain she carries. There, she tries to live an ordinary life, far from the chains of duty and expectation. But even as she hides, her heart aches for the family she left behind—and for the Alpha who broke it.
Because rejection was never the end.
When fate draws Selina and Matteo back into each other’s lives, old wounds resurface, but so does the bond that never truly died. Amidst the threat of war, betrayal, and forbidden longing, they will be forced to face not only their past, but the love that still burns between them.
This time, will the Alpha say yes?

Chapter: Chapter SevenSelina's POVAs I stared out the window of Elias’ car, the silhouette of the woods slowly disappeared from my view, swallowed by the open road ahead. A part of me felt as though I was leaving behind the last fragments of the life I once knew.Elias drove with calm focus, yet he spoke to me with surprising openness. He told me about himself and the company he owned, explaining the responsibilities I would soon face. His voice was steady, confident, as if every word carried weight.When he asked about my education, shame pricked at me. Even though I dont want to lie, I told him softly, “I was only taught at the orphanage… but all my records were burned. There’s nothing left to prove what I know.”For a moment, silence filled the car. I expected him to judge me, to regret his offer or to have doubts as to whether I really deserve the job. Instead, he nodded with quiet resolve. “Then we’ll fix that. I can have you enrolled in a university, just dont worry too much about how, I will handle

Chapter: Chapter FiveThird Person POVThe next morning, Selina woke to the unfamiliar aroma of food being cooked inside the cottage. The scent was warm and comforting, yet strange to her senses. She slowly rose from the bed, realizing she could no longer remain passive. If she wanted to stay here without feeling like a burden, she had to start learning these chores.Pushing the door open, she stepped outside and her eyes immediately landed on Silas. He wore a black, body-fitting shirt that clung to his broad frame, every line of muscle beneath it evident.She watched him move with quiet strength.Selina’s gaze lingered, curiosity pressing at her thoughts. She tried to think what truly set werewolves apart from humans. Silas stood six foot seven, towering and formidable, his presence impossible to ignore. His skin was fairer than the men she had seen working in the fields yesterday, almost as if he belonged to a different world entirely.As if Silas has eyes on his back, he immediately noticed Selina's pres

Chapter: Chapter FourThird Person PovAfter Selina passed through the tunnel, she emerged into the human world. Just as she was about to step out fully, a rogue member of the North Riverbed pack lunged from the shadows, its claws grazing her leg. Pain seared through her as warm blood spilled down, staining the earth beneath her. Before the creature could strike again, Drillan appeared swift and mercilessly delivering the fatal blow that ended its threat.Now, Selina found herself beyond the tunnel, standing barefoot in the unfamiliar world. Each step left a faint trail of crimson on the grass, her strength waning with every movement. The vast field stretched endlessly before her nothing but rolling grasslands and scattered trees, so few they could be counted by hand. For the first time, she felt utterly lost. No family, no pack, no guiding hand. Just her and the terrifying silence of survival in a world she didn’t know how to navigate.Selina kept walking even though her leg hurt badly. The grass was cold

Chapter: Chapter Three Arthur and his sons stormed into the Vanderbilt manor, their footsteps echoing across the marble floors. His voice boomed through the hall as he called out for his wife and daughter. “Tanya! Isabella!” When Tanya appeared, her hands wringing nervously, Arthur barely paused to catch his breath. “Everyone, you must make haste. The North Riverbed pack has invaded our territory!” Tanya’s eyes widened. “Dear, what about the Alpha? Did he agree to give Isabella another chance to prove herself?” Her voice was hopeful, but her fingers twisted against each other in restless fear. She could not bear the thought of their family name stained further. Arthur’s jaw tightened. “Not now, my love. That matter can wait. There is something far more urgent—we must prepare for war.” He turned sharply to his eldest. “Basset, tell your sister to pack her things at once. We have to put her somewhere safe. Quickly!” Then to his second son, his tone like iron: “Drillan, ready the guards. The mano

Chapter: Chapter TwoSelina's POV “No.” The single word, sharp and final, cracked through the stillness like a thunderclap. The crowd gasped, and in a matter of seconds, the whispers began to spread like wildfire. Speculations filled the air. Why would the Alpha reject his Luna? What went wrong? I stood frozen, unfamiliar and naive on how to even react. But I could feel it—their stares piercing me like daggers, blaming me for something I didn’t even do. To them, I must have looked ridiculous, unwanted… humiliated. “No. I don’t want to continue pursuing this union,” Matteo spoke again, his voice void of emotion, like I was nothing more than a mistake he wanted to erase. My heart clenched. Papa’s face turned red with fury, and before I knew it, he stepped forward, approaching the Alpha with heavy steps. Tension wrapped around the garden like a storm ready to break.The elders immediately rose from their seats, their voices colliding with fury as they began to argue, their authority trembling with outr
