Chapter 2: Denied and Rejected
Last Updated:
2025-03-19 12:06:42Yes. My mate was my Alpha, Alpha Knox White but then he chose her over me.
The day I returned from four years of training, I witnessed Knox getting all gaga to a she-wolf I never met.
My brother, June, told me her family had recently joined our pack the day I left. Their pack had been devastated by a rogue attack. Only leaving a few members alive, that had now joined our pack. I thought she must be her mate since Alpha Knox was already twenty-six. But that changed when I accidentally brushed his arms when I tried to get myself a beer inside the fridge. It was twelve midnight and I decided to celebrate my birthday alone. I wasn't a fan of huge birthday parties anyway.
Our arms brushed each other and made a spark. It was not an ordinary spark but the familiar spark when you found your mate. I had looked up into his forest green eyes, and he was looking down into my amber ones. We stood there like the world stopped, looking at each other like nothing interested us. It’s just me and him. And then our breathing hitched. Everything went silent. As if the clocks stopped ticking. My wolf perked up and excitedly wagged her tail.
"Mate,” she said.
At that moment, my heart swelled with pride, happiness, and excitement. I had waited all my life for this moment, for my own fairy tale to be written with him. My mate had finally arrived. I had found my prince charming. I had found my future. And it was Knox. He was perfect. My best friend from childhood and I were destined to be one. My wolf howled in joy! My wolf expected no less from him.
Just for a second, I saw the same feeling reflected in his eyes. But it was just for a brief second before it quickly vanished.
"Knox, you are my mate," I stated with excitement in my voice.
“Uhh, there's something wrong here,” he said. His baritone voice echoed in the kitchen.
“Wrong? Knox, you’re my mate. Can’t you feel it?” I asked, frowning. Hopping Knox was confused. It's okay, most of the first time wolves meet a mate they will still feel confused.
"That's impossible, November. You know my mate is Emerald. She is your future Luna."
"No, you're my mate, Knox. Didn't you feel it?" My wolf refused to be denied. We both don’t want to be rejected.
"I’m sorry you know I love Emerald more than anyone and I have chosen her as my mate. I have made my choice. You will find another mate because I can’t be with you."
"But, I am your destined mate," I whispered, begging to be accepted as my heart started to break.
"I don’t believe in fate or destiny, November."
And with that, Know left me leaving me drained, hurt, and trembling. I stood there rooted, not able to move or breathe for what felt like hours but had probably been only seconds. I heard him slamming the door of his office. With that shutting of the door, Knox took and killed the dreams of a fairy tale I slowly crafted from cthe hildhood of what it felt like to have a mate and everything that I had ever wanted for my life. He took it all, destroying everything and I was defenseless. How could I start when I'm already at the end? My begging has ended.
“What about it? Do you want to rub a lemon in my wounds? Go ahead,” I replied to Zeus, I told him and slapped his hand off my chin. “Go ahead, mock me. Insult me. It’s okay. I’ll die anyway,” I added as tears warning me to drop.
Zeus took his face mask off revealing a face that would have rival Knox’s face. He was handsome or beyond that. But my wolf refused to acknowledge another male wolf other than our mate.
“So you’re really a rejected she-wolf,” Zeus said, not minding what I just said. “You're rare. Rejected females, especially a highly skilled warrior are very rare,” he added, smiling, showing me a set of pearly white teeth and a dimple on his right cheek. “How about if I’ll help you?”
“Help? Are you nuts? You can’t help to restore a severe bond so leave me alone!” I yelled and pushed him away from me. I know he saw my wretched face. Dark eyes bags due to sleepness night, chapped lips, and probably pale face.
I don’t care if I look dead. I just want to numb the pain even if its temporary.
“Well, we can establish a new bond. You and I,” he replied making me stop from my track.
“Stop playing with me,” I said and pointed my finger at him. “And don’t ever say a word about bond or anything. I do not need your pity!”
I never wished to be saved. I know how it felt like to find your mate and only to be left and rejected. It hurts the hell so much! I don’t want any other she-wolf to suffer as well.
“I’m serious.”
I looked at his stunning cyan eyes.
“Don’t mess with me. You have a mate out there. Wait for her.” I replied and turned around to continue walking away.
“She’s dead.”
I slowly turned my head back at him. And saw honestly in those beautiful cyan eyes…

On my way back to the pack house, a few kilometers away from the pack’s territory, the pain inside started to appear again…No…no..no... I made sure to drink one before I left Zeus, why is it happening again?“It’s not enough,” my wolf told me. “Drink more. Please.”My breath became labored and my hand started to tremble. I took the pill out of my pocket and was about to pop one when the pain started to intensify, much more painful than before. The pill split from my hand and my knees started to give up like it couldn’t carry me anymore. This time, my whole body ached and my organs were also affected. I couldn’t breathe. Every breath I took was too painful. “Stop! Please stop!” I begged. “He’s marking her!” My wolf said, weakly. “We’re going to die soon, November.” I didn’t know how long I had been in a fetal position, crying. All I knew was that something in my mind, pack link, was trying to enter my mind. “Where are you? The Alpha told us to be at the pack hall for the announcem

“So, are you just going to waste your life taking Wolfnip?” Zeus asked me as I sat on the exposed root of a large tree. “Why do you keep on appearing? You’re irritating me,” I replied, looking at my torso. There was a long wound and deep purple bruises from below my breast and to my abdomen. I got the wound from the rogue I met the other night that I was patrolling. It didn’t heal. In fact my wolf was already too weak to heal me. I rely on alcohol and antibiotics to heal it. The bruises, however, were evidence of Knox’s betrayal. Every time he mates with Emerald, his ecstasy would always be painful for me and it left bruises. My wolf would always heal it before up until recently, the bruises never fade away. It’s still there, getting worse. I knew they would be permanent reminders of the future I had lost, and the one forced upon me.“Like I said, I’m interested in helping you. It would be a waste if you only die. Don’t you want to experience what happiness is?”“You’re the one who

I wouldn't live past my 23rd birthday. I would never have the joy of bringing pups into the world, and see them have pups of their own. I had accepted my future. Death is all waiting for me and never wavering from it.Once the water had finally heated, I stepped inside the shower. I gently cared for my injuries, I slowly and lightly began lathering my body. Cleaning away the human first aid kit’s smell from cleaning my wounds. My touch became feather-light on the areas of my body that were most tender, wounded, and bruised. I hissed when I accidentally clawed my wound. Finishing up and tenderly tapping my body with a bath towel, I reached into the top drawer of my dresser and searched for something to wear, wide and wouldn't have too much texture for my wound. As soon as I opened the drawer, my hand came into contact with the only item that I owned that connected me to Knox. Lifting the heavily faded grey sweatshirt that had once been black. I pressed the fabric to my nose, wishin

Knox's Point of ViewI woke to the feeling of her body curled against mine, the familiar weight of her warmth grounding me, as our bare limbs remained tangled from the night before. How many mornings had I risen like this? Her legs slung over mine, or mine over hers. Her head resting over my chest, or mine tucked against the soft curve of her bosom.So many nights, we’d collapsed into each other—our bodies speaking a language only we understood. We loved each other fiercely, surrendered to one another fully, and fell asleep sated in that sacred aftermath.For four of the five years we’d been together, these mornings were my constant. My peace. My joy. I never tired of her touch, never stopped marveling at the quiet comfort of our connection.But in these last two years... something else began to whisper into the silence between our heartbeats.A guilt. Lingering. Uninvited.There were rare moments, as I made love to Emerald, that November's face would flicker into my mind. A flash—qui

“What do you mean you don’t want her, Knox?” January, November’s brother, my best friend yelled at me, almost unbelieving when I told him, I don’t want November because I already chose Emerald over her. The scene at the hospital made everything a mess. My parents learned November was dying because of me and blamed Emerald for it. I stood against them. I told them everyone could be free to leave my pack if they were against my choice. My parents looked at me, unbelievable. They were my parents, they gave me everything but I couldn’t let them ruin my life. “You know, son,” my father said, defeated and shaking his head. “A pack will only become stronger when your true mate is beside you. An imbalanced leadership will always make a pack down. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. And you are coming to me for help. As for now, I’m no longer a father for you.” He said, direct to my face as if I was never a good son to him. It was a shock. I was shocked by the words. “Dad, what are you-”“Kn

According to January, Knox left with Emerald two days ago, right after their baby's gender reveal party. He told me Knox probably just wanted to give her space, her due date was only weeks away.Unlike humans, werewolf pregnancies are faster. Emerald is due in three weeks.I should be excited because the baby would be the next in line Alpha. Once she gave birth, Knox promised me we would have a long talk. But deep down… I knew what would happen. That look in his eyes when he watches her, it’s not an obligation. It’s not a duty. It’s love.Still, my wolf refuses to accept it. She believes that maybe Knox would change his mind. Says if Knox truly wanted to reject us, he would’ve done it long ago.So why hasn’t he? Why hasn’t he claimed us or rejected us?"You seem pretty distracted," my best friend said, snapping me from my thoughts."Huh? Sorry. What were you saying?"She’d been going on about Knox and Emerald’s baby shower plans—something I hadn’t even known existed."I said Emerald
Last Updated : 2025-04-30Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 9: Betrayal
The past few days were excruciating. Knox hasn't contacted me or bothered to check in. He still hasn’t given me the result of his so-called promise. And that silence, it’s driving me mad. The more time passes, the angrier I get. Even my wolf has grown restless.There were moments when I wanted to storm into the pack and confront Emerald myself. I wanted to scream the fact at her that I was Knox’s true mate and she had no place there anymore. But I knew Knox wouldn’t appreciate that kind of move, so I kept my distance. I waited. And now the truth has been exposed, she seemed not bothered at all. How could she sleep with a man next to her when she knew that someone was hurting and on the brink of death due to her and Knox’s doing?Still, I couldn’t help wondering, did Emerald have a conscience? I think she didn’t have even an ounce of it. Figured. But in all of this, someone has been looking out for me.Zeus. Knox might have banned him from coming in our pack but Zeus was a relentless

The betrayal was thick. I lost every hope that one day Knox might have changed his kind and chose me instead. I lost the very reason I had to live when I learned he wanted me dead to pursue his own happiness. Knox didn’t just break my heart, he shattered me completely. He drained the life out of me. I wanted nothing but to be happy. I wiped my tears as I stood up at my window. When will this suffering end?Before I knew it, night had fallen again. The owls outside called from the woods, thriving in the dark. Their sounds often lulled me to sleep, it was like a quiet lullaby meant only for me.I slept deeply for most of the night, only waking when the wind howled or the rain poured heavily on the roof. I don’t know when it started, but the sound was oddly comforting. Still, I preferred the softer, rhythmic pitter-patter. That brought more peace.When morning came, it brought with it the same painful truth: I was still alive, still breathing, only to suffer.I wanted to die. Desperat

The first place I want to see is the kitchen. For me, the best part of a house is the kitchen. Why? Because magic happens in the kitchen. And since Zeus is nowhere to be found, I'll tour myself.Coming to the bottom of the stairs, I tried to remember which way the kitchen was in this enormous house. It was last night when Zeus showed me the way, but now, even in my more conscious state, I couldn't remember. I was too tired last night to even keep the kitchen's location in my mind.Looking to my left and then right, I decided to go to my right, the exact opposite way we went last night to meet the pack. The kitchen would be on the other side of the house and needed a bigger space than any other room, especially in this kind of house.I knew I was right when I passed by a few familiar doors. I remember passing Zeus spacious office on the way to it. I took a moment to stop and look in now that I could study it better.The dark wood interior gave it a look of importance and elegance. A fe

"Sorry if I startled you," Zenia said, smiling. "I came here to check if you are already awake."I giggled."It's fine. I was surprised to see you still here. Don't you have school today?"She shrugged. "I went to school, but classes are suspended. So I went home and decided to come and see you. You know, for catching up," she replied before making herself comfortable on Zeus' bed."Oh, alright. Wait for a sec and let me freshen up," I answered before walking back to the bathroom and doing my business.It took me half an hour before I finally exited the bathroom, ready to talk with Zenia."Shall I take you to my room? I made some breakfast there when I returned from school," she invited me."Okay, lead the way," I smiled at her.Zeus won't mind if I leave without telling him, right?Zenia must have guessed what was in my mind."I told Ace to tell Zeus that I'll kidnap you and return to him when I feel like I want to," she said, grinning at me.I laughed at what she said before followi
Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 25: The Sister
I didn't know he had a sister. Zeus didn't mention it to me earlier. I thought I had met all of his family tonight."Yeah," she nodded. "I just got back from my friend's house. Can you let him know that Zenia made it back home, okay? I'm just going to go to bed.""Sure," I smiled. "I'm November, by the way."I was worried by the excitement that crossed her face at the mention of my name. She entered the room and sat next to me on the bed."You're November," she said. "Of course you are. I feel so dumb. I was hoping I'd meet you soon. I didn't think it would be this soon, you know? I thought my brother might keep you to himself for a while, if you know what I mean."Who wouldn't know what she means? We both blushed at her comment."How old are you?" I giggled."Fifteen," she answered. "I might not be an adult yet, but I know how mates work.""True mates, maybe, but Zeus and I weren't exactly the traditional types," I told her. “And also he’s part dragon.”She looked at me. Maybe she di
Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 24: Settling in
I tensed at Zeus’ words. Next month? We still needed to discuss our mating date. Wasn't I supposed to be part of the decision?I shot him a disgruntled look. I'll wait until after this is over before I ask him about that."I hope you will all give her a warm welcome to our Herd. I want her to feel at home here," he finished.He shot me a breathtaking smile that would have melted me like butter if I wasn't still hurting due to recent events.There were murmurs of kind words and delighted looks on the faces of the pack. Almost immediately, people were lining up to greet me. They had obeyed Zeus’ request without issue. None of them seems forced to be polite. It honestly felt like they wanted to because I meant something to him."It's nice to meet you, November," an older woman said, shaking my hand. "I'm Sophia, Zeu's Aunt, I’m dragon shifter. It's nice to put a face with the name finally.""It's a pleasure to meet you too. And I was sorry for the scene a few minutes ago," I replied.Sop
Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 23: Meeting the Herd
When Zeus stopped in front of me with his hand extended, I broke from my thoughts. I stared at his palm, facing upward, waiting for me to take it. "Unity," he said, answering an unspoken question. "It's important to the herd and me." "Right," I answered dumbly. I placed my hand in his large one, the heat enveloping it. While he seemed comfortable holding on to me, I was stiff. This thing between us was something new. He gave it a light squeeze and smiled teasingly."Loosen up. We both have to get used to this eventually." Though it was mostly forced, I smiled back and tried to take his advice. I loosened up. I heave a sigh and let my shoulders fall to relax. I was never a fan of the crowd, even though I used to work in a diner. But he is right, and the restaurant and pack are different. I know I can do this.I gripped his hand a little tighter and nodded to him. "Okay, I'm ready."Zeus seemed satisfied and pulled me beside him, away from the garage. The large house came back into
Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 22: The Herd
Zeus and I took turns fiddling with his radio inside his truck. The radio picked up many radio stations, but none of the songs they currently play suited our taste. Although Zeus has some burned CDs, he told me that the truck wasn't his and belonged to his friend. So, I should expect some odd and old songs."We should play just one. The old songs are gold. I still like to hear some of them rather than the new-aged music. I don't quite like it," I told him as I flipped the cd holder."Well, you probably won't like it. But be my guess," Zeus replied, concentrating his eyes on the road.I found some eighties to early nineties songs such as Bolton's, Shaina, and Bon Jovi."Are you kidding me? These are all my favorites!" I told him before removing one of BJ's CDs and feeding it to the cd player. When the song started to play, my mood suddenly changed.I'm a sucker for old songs. My dad used to have many of them, and he would play songs while I watched him fix his car. Or sometimes I see

Knox’s eyes become apologetic. "You're right. I'm sorry. I just want to feel how it feels to be kissed by a mate.”"You can't just reject me, then waltz into my house like you own this place, fill me with hurtful stories and then kiss me. It doesn't work like that. I understand your wolf might have pushed you to come over, but that's not an excuse. Emerald is your mate now, not me," I said, making my voice a little louder. I was surprised that it didn't hurt me to be so blunt about it. There was a twinge of sadness in me, but I was hollow once more with my wolf gone again. He looked away from me in shame. He was staring at the fully open suitcase on my bed. "So, I guess you are going then," he said. "Yes, tonight."His head snapped at me. "So soon?""There is no reason to prolong my stay here, is there? I need to pick up the pieces and move on with my life, and getting out of this town is the only way to do that.""I think it is," he admitted. "But where will you go?" It took a

"I come here to talk," Knox said. "I won't come any further if you would prefer it."I didn't speak. I was afraid to even dare to speak. My voice couldn't hold up talking to Knox. Everything I buried deep inside would come spilling out with my words. Instead of answering, I nodded at him, and he understood. He dropped his hands and sat facing me on the edge of my bed. Even in my wolf's weak state, she tried to listen. "I had to see you before you left. I need to explain myself before you hate me forever." His words seem sincere, and I have difficulty believing in him. But my wolf believed in him. "I want you to know I never intended to reject you," he began. "The day I discovered you was the happiest moment in my life but I already had Emerald. If only I had known earlier, I would have chosen you.”“You had the choice. Three years ago but you never wanted me. You wanted Emerald. You don’t have to reason, Knox. She would always be your choice. It doesn’t matter if both of you hurt
Let me Fix you, My broken Mate Chapter 19: Last talk
As I waited for Zeus to come and get me, I had time to think about my life since I learned Knox was my mate. There was never a day that I wouldn’t be in pain and then hid in my cave, silently crying. I never expected that someone would come and choose me as their second chance.Though since the rejection, I have doubted myself. There are a lot of questions flooding my mind. Was I not good enough? I continued watching Kaila packing up the food and I helped her until I could no longer bear it. I fell onto my bed and slumped. Kaila jerked her head towards me before walking to the end I sat on and took the clean spot next to me."What's wrong with me, Kai?"She wrapped her slender hands around my shoulders in an act of comfort and sighed wearily."There's nothing with you, November. You just lost your mate. It's a completely natural reaction to that," she said.I shook my head. "No, not that. I mean my whole life. Why am I so different from all of the other female wolves?"Sympathy cr
