Alpha Aidan's Rejection
“How long have we been mates?” Aidan barked.
“Four weeks,” I cried, tears rolling down my face and neck.
“And how many times were we intimate, Tara?”
My lungs tightened in my chest as I whispered. “Once.”
“And we were being safe, so why do you think this lie would stick?”
Venom dripped from his next words. “Get out of my life because the next time you show up, I will kill you.”
*****
It wasn’t exactly a one-night stand, but the possibility of a pregnancy was almost non-existent even though he was my mate.
When I mustered the courage to break the news to Aidan Graham, the father, he denied me. He severed our bond and plotted my death, and my only option was to run.
Nine years later, my daughter walks into my office with a man, and the scent I recognize all too well fills my lungs. She says. “Mommy! I found you this handsome man!”
The match my baby girl just made for me…is to my ex Alpha mate.
I have been broken in the past, so how do I make this work for my daughter? Can I still try even when Aidan ropes us into a web of secrets, deceit, and brings me to a past I wished to bury forever?
The plot twists are bound to make you ask… “Wait…What. The. Heck??” So, read on!!

Chapter: 110: Feelings For AidanTARA The attack from the Stonewolves had become stale news. People freely went about their businesses now, so it was no hassle for me to go restocking Aidan’s kitchen with foodstuff one week after everything happened. I had to admit, it wasn’t easy feeding a man the size and stomach of Aidan, but what was a girl to do when he took care of her and their child with so much dedication? Aidan could as well eat portions meant for me and Nadia combined and doubled, and he still wouldn’t be satisfied. It was why the foodstuffs in his house never lasted more than two weeks without needing a restock. His love for food was what made me conclude that it was why Aidan could not only whip up meals that could pass for a chef’s standards, but could also make actual fancy meals! Back to shopping. I loved the activity’s semblance of serenity, so this was a win win. And since Nadia was with Esme for the Saturday afternoon, it was the perfect way for me to spend it. With the trolley in han

Chapter: 109: Home Safe TARA Everything Aidan said made sense. They were going to try to reverse the Stonewolves’ curse, and if anyone would have the resources to do so, it was going to be Aidan, whether in Vermont Pack or Attica. But if that didn’t turn out to be successful, we would have to stick to other means of protection, and that included our wolf sides. I wasn’t much of a shifter. I couldn’t even remember the last time I saw my wolf. After everything that happened all those years ago, I couldn’t help but feel more vulnerable than safe when I wasn’t in control of my physical body. Not after I’d been stabbed in the back, almost taken out at the hospital where I should have been recovering, and having to spend years trying to heal those wounds. I knew my wolf was capable of protecting me, but I just had to get to trust myself on that again. And I had to do it for Nadia too. If she was going to have a chance at being in tune with her wolf side, she had to actually experience her wolf side. No one was

Chapter: 108: Your Safety AIDAN As soon as Tara and Nadia were out of sight, I did the first thing that came to mind. Made sure the multiple entrances to the house were well secured from intruders and activated the security alarm system around the house. I was back in my spot before Tara came back out, hoping that this plan I had in my mind worked. Having Stonewolves spring up where they both lived was a chance I wasn’t willing to keep taking. Not after the scared look on Tara’s face whenever they were mentioned, bringing back the trauma of her experience with them that prevented her from being able to close her eyes to sleep for months before now. “How badly was Jace hurt?” Tara asked, cutting through my thoughts with the sound of her voice, eyes trained on me from across the kitchen island as she picked on her cuticles, nervous about the welfare of her friend, Jenna, and Jace. I shook my head, voice low as I watched her advance. “He’s out cold.” The outline of her neck held in a gasp as she asked with

Chapter: 107: How Bad TARA “I can’t ask you to come with me, Tara. Not when Nadia is all alone at her training,” Jenna said, the second we got outside the restaurant, her eyes still brimming red with unshed tears. It had been only months since Aidan and Jace first came into Vermont Pack, but I couldn’t blame Jenna for falling head over heels for Aidan’s beta in such a short time. I mean, the same thing happened with me and Aidan. As much as Jenna seldom talked about the dynamics of her relationship with him, I knew she cared deeply for him, but she still had other’s interests at heart, even when she was currently breaking with the news about Jace being hurt. “Jenna,” I breathed, scared shitless, and worried to my bones for both my friend and my daughter. “Will you be okay?” She shook her head once, her eyes full and almost spilling over. “I have to be. Be on the lookout, and avoid them as much as you can, okay? Get Nadia to safety and stay indoors till you hear it’s okay to come out.” I nodded, pulli

Chapter: 106: We Have To Go TARA Someone else could have been fooled by Kayla acting as if she knew nothing about the text I received on my day off, but even if I hadn’t suspected her, it was still her number that sent me the message. “What text?” I repeated her last question out loud, chuckling lightly, already irritated at the fact that she was ruining my brunch with Jenna who was still fuming across the table, but trying her hardest to remain quiet, letting me handle my business. Beneath all that calm, I could see that Jenna was charged, ready to act if push came to shove with Kayla. Kayla shrugged at the question, and I shook my head. “Why are you in Vermont Pack right now, Kayla?” I asked, trying to look for any logical reasons why she would abandon the comfort of her pack to be where no one wanted her. I genuinely wondered. Was it because of Aidan? Or was it for the fact that she saw me after all these years, and found out that she failed in her plan to keep me and Aidan away or ruin our family. “

Chapter: 105: What Text? TARA Jenna and I stood in front of the pack’s retreat complex on an already sunny Saturday morning, seeing Nadia off to her first day of football practice, and well, it was quite an interesting morning. Jenna was all smiles, encouraging Nadia to crush all her teammates even if it was just her first practice, and I was an entire other case. Nadia had suddenly picked up the interest the evening after we ran into Aidan here, and I wouldn’t have been as shocked if the new hobby interest was cheerleading or even football with a team of girls, but Nadia had stuck to her desire in playing football with all male kids team. I was not going to stop her from trying out what interested her, but it made me ask myself some questions, as most mothers would, seeing as this wasn’t the first time Nadia was choosing to do something that most young girls at her age wouldn’t be interested in. “Come on,” Jenna said, pulling me by my arm away from the complex entrance, and out of my thoughts. “We don’

Chapter: Chapter 33: Lily Anderson’s Estate Sireen’s POVI decide that there’s no need to waste any more time, so the minute I get home, I call Luna Elowen and tell her that I’d like to visit her mother’s estate on the other side of pack. I don’t know what this is, an interview or just a regular visit, and I don’t know what to expect, so I change into something casual that's bordering on formal. I do need the job, unless Lily Anderson, Elowen’s Mom, is a psycho, hence why she has refused to mingle with society.Elowen drives down to our cabin an hour after we get off the phone, and she’s all smiles as I get in the car.“I’m happy that you decided to come. So glad,” she says, putting the car in motion, and with it, my unending nerves. All through the ride, I nervously pick at my dress, and Elowen must notice this because I don’t even try to hide it. “You’re anxious,” she says after a long, deafening, and choking silence, and I laugh.There’s nothing funny.“Just a little. I think it’s because I don’t know what to expect.”“Well,

So what did you tell her?” Camilla asks, eyes wide with interest and ears perking up as she crosses her arms under her legendary boobs, causing my eyes to stray there.I suck my bottom lip between my teeth as I think back to my interaction with Elowen yesterday. “She didn’t beg,” I say and stand upright, taking a step away from the entrance door of the class for someone to pass through where Camilla and I are standing chatting. “She needs it just as much as I do, I guess, so I told her I was going to think about it.”“This is messy.” Camilla drags the word out, adding more strain to the tension I’m already in.Even if I already know, I still ask. “Why do you say that?”Camilla untucks her hands to gesticulate as she explains. “It’s Trevor’s grandmother we’re speaking of, not just some random old woman in a facility.

I want to stand up, but I don’t want to have to face her.“Sireen, is everything okay?” Camilla asks from the other end of the call where she’s still connected, and I whisper while I press the phone harder to my ear like she’ll hear me better.“I just sighted Elowen, and I think she saw me too.”“Are you avoiding her?”“Shit,” I curse quietly. Yes, I am. “I haven’t seen her since everything went left at their home on Sunday. I don’t think I want to find out how she feels about me just yet,” I say, and when I peek back to the spot where I had seen her earlier, I realize that I won’t even get the chance to say a prayer or make a wish because she’s already on to me. “I have to go,” I say and end the call with

No matter what anyone does, be it Kristy or any other class mate, and no matter how much Trevor regards the situation with nonchalance, I keep quiet and face my business.This does little to help the situation because the more I ignore things, the more they strike.So with everything, it shocks Mom when she asks me to help her with the groceries at the farmers market after school today and I jump at the opportunity. I can’t say that grocery shopping is a hobby of mine because sometimes, I will only help Mom out in exchange for something which is always a little cash, but I’m doing it for free today.

The only thing was that I didn’t stop looking at her until she was out of line of sight, so I saw the pained expression on her face the second she stepped out. As she leaves, Kevin is laughing and mentally patting himself on the back for what he just did, I’m sure, and that is the only thing that stops me from walking out of the class to follow Sireen from a distance as is fast becoming a habit of mine.One wrong move and she would have fallen.Kevin would have inflicted a scar on Sireen’s skin and nobody got to do that.

Chapter: Chapter 16: A Deal with the Devil _Lynnette's POV_ I wanted to tell Bladen not to come. If he was worried about reporters, wouldn’t they just follow him? That wouldn't stop them. In fact, it would only bring more attention to me—leading them to my place—but he had already ended the call. I needed no one to tell me that he wanted to come here himself, but what for? Why would he come here himself? Knowing that he was going to be here in a moment, since there wouldn’t be any traffic, I quickly jerked out of my thoughts, gazing right back at my messy room. My apartment right now looked more like a madwoman’s house than anything. Every one of my belongings was scattered around the corners, from dirty plates I had used for the past days to clothes strewn carelessly. The truth was, I wasn’t like this. It’s just that this whole situation was so overwhelming that I hadn’t even had time or energy for the slightest thing. Out of nervousness—something I hated to admit—I began cleaning up my mess, even though I couldn't deny

Chapter: Chapter 15: Giving In _Bladen’s POV_ From my penthouse, I could see everything outside. Everything. From the towering skyscrapers to the shimmering city lights, the movement of cars far below—it all had a way of making me feel both powerful and insignificant at the same time, but what I cherished the most was the solitude… the solitude which seemed haunting today. Every evening, after work, I would unwind with a drink in hand, enjoying the silence that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket. It was the closest thing to peace I had ever known. Tonight, however, was different. I sat on the plush leather couch, my gaze fixed on the breathtaking cityscape of Texas, and there was a bottle of whiskey resting in my right hand, its golden liquid catching the dim light of my living room, all while I thought about the infuriating woman who wouldn’t leave my mind. Lynnette. Now, her ignoring my texts made sense. I had arrived at her apartment, and she flipped me off faster than I could even retort.

One was from the living room to the kitchen where I forced a sandwich down my throat, then to the bathroom to allow warm wear water trickle down my back, and finally, to my bed where I have been staring into space, thinking. That was how much Bladen rattled me. I tried to figure out what was going on and why he needed us to do this now, what the catch might be, but I couldn’t come to any conclusions or even speculations. Were the blogs finally getting to him and doing damage to his reputation? I finally decided that thinking wasn’t worth my time.
