ELENA

The message arrived shortly after breakfast.

I was sitting at the small dining table, reviewing the article I had submitted the previous evening, when my phone vibrated.

It was a response from the client.

I opened it eagerly, expecting confirmation that the work had been accepted.

Instead, I found a request for revisions.

I read the message twice.

The article wasn’t bad, apparently, but it needed a different approach. The client wanted a more engaging introduction, fewer general statement

  • I Rejected My Alpha Mate, Now He Wants Me Back    [29]

    ALECMarcus had been arguing with me for nearly fifteen minutes.I was beginning to suspect he enjoyed it.“You’re making this more complicated than it needs to be,” he said, placing another report on my desk.I glanced at it. “And you’re making it sound as though I have nothing else to do.”“You are the Alpha. Unfortunately, that is exactly what you signed up for.”I gave him a flat look.He grinned.The problem was a disagreement between two patrol teams over territory boundaries near the eastern forest. Nothing particularly dangerous, but both team leaders had strong opinions, and neither seemed interested in listening to the other.I read through their reports before setting them aside.“Bring them both in tomorrow. I’ll speak with them.”“Already arranged.”“Then why are you still here?”“To make sure you appreciate my excellent work.”“Get out, Marcus.”He laughed as he left.I shook my head and returned to the remaining reports.Running a pack meant dealing with dozens of littl

    ELENAThe message arrived shortly after breakfast.I was sitting at the small dining table, reviewing the article I had submitted the previous evening, when my phone vibrated.It was a response from the client.I opened it eagerly, expecting confirmation that the work had been accepted.Instead, I found a request for revisions.I read the message twice.The article wasn’t bad, apparently, but it needed a different approach. The client wanted a more engaging introduction, fewer general statements and a stronger conclusion. They also wanted the revised version submitted before the end of the day.I stared at the screen.It was my first paid assignment, and I had already managed to disappoint someone.I put the phone down and reached for my tea.Perhaps I wasn’t as good at this as I had hoped.For several minutes, I considered whether I should simply tell the client I couldn’t make the changes. It would be easier than spending another day worrying over a few paragraphs.But I needed the

  • I Rejected My Alpha Mate, Now He Wants Me Back    [27]

    ELENABy the time I finished my second cup of tea, I had rewritten the same paragraph six times.I stared at the laptop screen, increasingly convinced that the words were deliberately refusing to cooperate with me.The assignment wasn’t particularly difficult. A short article about maintaining healthy routines while working from home. It should have been easy enough, especially considering that I had spent the last few weeks trying to establish a routine of my own.Yet somehow, everything I wrote sounded either too formal or too obvious.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my forehead.“Perhaps I should become a professional tea drinker instead.”The thought made me smile, but it didn’t solve my problem.My phone buzzed beside the laptop. It was a message from Tessa.Tessa: Are you alive?I typed a reply.Me: Unfortunately.Her response came almost immediately.Tessa: Wonderful. Get dressed. I’m coming over.I frowned at the screen.Me: Why?Tessa: Because you’ve been indoors for two

    AIDENThe physician’s explanation should have settled the matter.Aiden sat behind his desk, going through the birth records Dr. Matt had brought for his review. Every document appeared legitimate. The examinations had been properly recorded, the results were consistent, and the child’s bloodline had been confirmed.There was nothing obviously wrong.Yet Aiden couldn’t shake the feeling that he had overlooked something.He returned to the original examination report, stopping at the corrected observation.“Why was this particular entry changed?” he muttered.Dr. Matt had already explained it. The initial observation had been incomplete, and a follow-up examination had provided clearer results. It was a reasonable explanation, one Aiden had no grounds to dispute.Still, he found himself wondering why the correction had bothered him so much.He closed the folder.Perhaps he was looking for problems because everything else in his life was falling apart. Elena had disappeared, the elders

  • I Rejected My Alpha Mate, Now He Wants Me Back    [25]

    ELENAFor the first time in years, my life was beginning to feel predictable.My mornings started with breakfast, followed by my writing assignments or lessons. I attended my medical appointments, kept track of my symptoms, and rested whenever my body demanded it. The treatment Dr. Hayes had recommended was still being monitored closely, and although I hadn’t experienced any dramatic improvement, I was learning not to measure every day by how strong or weak I felt.My writing had also begun to bring in a little money. It wasn’t enough to support me and my baby, but each completed assignment made the future seem slightly less frightening.Alec visited regularly, usually with some excuse that fooled neither of us. Sometimes he brought groceries. Other times, he simply wanted to know how I was doing.I appreciated his concern, especially because he never treated my independence as an insult.That evening, we sat on my porch while he complained about a meeting with the pack’s supply manag

    AIDENThe boy slept peacefully in Sarah’s arms while Aiden struggled to concentrate on the documents spread across his desk.Three days had passed since the heir announcement, yet the uneasiness he had felt during the ceremony refused to disappear. He had expected the declaration to settle the elders’ arguments about succession. Instead, it had left him with questions he couldn’t explain.Perhaps it was the pressure of Elena’s disappearance. Perhaps he was simply exhausted.Whatever the reason, he was tired of feeling as though he had forgotten something important.“You’re not listening to me.”Sarah’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.He looked up. She stood beside his desk, holding their son against her chest. The boy was awake now, his tiny fingers curled around the edge of her dress.“What did you say?” Aiden asked.Sarah’s expression tightened. “I said the elders want us to arrange a formal presentation for our son before the allied packs. They believe the announcement should b
