Chapter 9

MERIS

A yawn ripped from my lips as I stared at my mother lying in the next room.

I had insisted on staying with her through the night, and the doctor had no choice but to give me a room right next to hers.

The hospital was so luxurious that there was a two-bedroom ensuite, where I could see what was happening in the next room through a glass door.

What made it hurt even more was …my father… he hadn't called even once to ask if his mate was alive.

How could he leave his wife, his fa

  • From Rejected to Rafael's    Chapter Ten

    CHAPTER 10 MERISI stepped out of the hospital, noticing that we'd hardly encountered anyone around… like we were the only ones on the premises. But I wasn't surprised. He had the power to book an entire hospital on his own.I was stunned to see the car sitting right at the entrance…a sleek Bugatti Chiron, all black chrome and predatory elegance. This was a different car from the one he'd used the previous day.Coming from a background where I'd fallen from grace to grass, I'd known every single thing about cars and luxury. But that knowledge had become useless two years ago.Rafael surprisingly opened the car door for me, which made me blush lightly.Had Connor ever treated me like I was special?My face deepened into a frown. I'd been so blinded, so in love, that I hadn't noticed how awful he'd treated me.Rafael remained quiet throughout the ride, playing soothing instrumental music that made those bitter thoughts fade away.My mouth dropped open when I saw the villa standing befo

The hospital was so luxurious that there was a two-bedroom ensuite, where I could see what was happening in the next room through a glass door.What made it hurt even more was …my father… he hadn't called even once to ask if his mate was alive.How could he leave his wife, his fated mate, over some fake-ass woman who'd had numerous plastic surgeries just to follow the trend?‘It shouldn't be shocking. Same thing happened to us, but we already have a replacement. Isn't that convenient, my wolf groaned, finally waking up from her slumber. For a second, I chuckled bitterly.’I'd heard of wolves dying, hurting so badly for months when they were rejected by their mates. My mother was a perfect example.The cancer had gotten worse ever since that fateful day when she caught m

    Chapter 8RAFAELThe moment I stepped out of the shower, a white towel wrapped around my waist, my phone suddenly rang. My lawyer's number stared back at me.A grin crossed on my face as I swiped to answer."Alpha Chairman, Beta Seth informed me to call you.""Yes..." I replied, my eyes straining toward the clock. It was approximately ten PM. Tonight, the full moon had decided to shower the night with its glory, and it was the perfect night to run… to let Gael take over and find release."Alpha Chairman...""I'm here, Sicily. I hate being interrupted." My jaw clenched as I glared at the phone. "I need you to prepare a marriage contract for me. One year."I could hear her heartbeat skyrocket through the phone at my words."A marriage contract? For whom, Alpha Rafael?"I rolled my eyes, my Adam's apple straining slightly."For me, Sicily. Stop asking me questions and do your fucking job, or I'll have someone else replace you. Do you understand me?""Yes, Mr. Belmont."Her words came out

    Chapter 7RAFAELI stepped out of the hospital room, the cold air grazing through my rolled-up sleeves. I grabbed my phone, my hands furiously typing against the keypad."Put my lawyer on the call in fifteen minutes."I tapped send, the message going straight to Seth's inbox.You want us to stay back. She needs us right now. I don't want her to leave our sight.Gael purred in my head, but I pushed him back. The last thing I needed was him taking over and doing something reckless.Gael was the most vicious, fearsome wolf, and he had instantly taken a liking to her. Too much of a liking.***Flashback***The moment I saw her at that masquerade ball, wearing a black dress that clung to her body like a second skin, staring down at a file in her hands with a smile tugging at her lips, I realized she had no idea my bastard brother was cheating on her.I wanted to stop her right then, grab her hands and walk away from that room.But it was too late. Before I could reach her, she had disappear

    Chapter 6 MERIS"We can't get married today."I brushed hair away from my face, pulse racing."And why is that?" He leaned back, completely nonchalant. "Do you have something more important to do than marry me?"His face showed nothing. Like marrying him was just another business transaction."No, it's just…it's so fast." I took a breath. "But I have a question."The corner of his lips twitched like he found me amusing. Like he found everything amusing. It tore me apart that my wolf thought otherwise. She wanted him."Speak."I swallowed hard. "Why do you want to marry me?” I composed my expression. “I mean there are many elite ladies out there that are dying to marry you even for a day but you chose someone with a disastrous past and nothing to offer you."My mind flashed back to last night. I'd wanted to ask him then why he'd kissed me, why he'd pinned me against the car but I shook the thought away. I wasn't that pathetic girl crushing on him anymore. The Belmont brothers hated e

    **Chapter 5: The Deal**MERISI'd rehearsed this.The entire Uber ride. The elevator. The walk across that marble floor. I had the words lined up clean and ready, qualifications, circumstances, the upfront payment request, all of it organized into something that sounded composed and impossible to say no to.Every single word of it was gone the moment our eyes met.Because the man standing across the desk from me wasn't just Rafael Belmont, the next Alpha Chairman, business mogul, the man I'd built my entire dreams around at seventeen.He was the man from the car park. The mask was gone, but I'd have known those eyes; I couldn't be mistaken. I'd felt his mouth on my throat less than twelve hours ago. I'd moaned under his breath without knowing it was him. And he stood there and let me walk away without saying a word.I held my face very still and said nothing.My wolf was making a considerable amount of noise inside me, none of it helpful."You were expecting me," I said. It didn't com
