[ Elena's POV ]

Both Ambrose and Nicholas turned to face me, surprise clearly written on their expressions.

“What. How?” Ambrose snapped.

“Okay…. I didn't see this one coming.” Nicholas said and I saw something lit in his eyes like he was impressed with my sharp instincts.

I didn't think much about it anyway.

“Look closely,” I pulled the phone closer to Ambrose's face, “don't you see it, the black serpent tattoo on the back of his hand, while he was reaching for a hand shake.”

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 42: The Real Nicholas Scratch

    { Nicholas POV } I spun around slowly to see a deeply confused Ambrose walking steadily towards the sitting room. “Shit.” I muttered under my breath Just when I thought things were starting to improve between Elena and me, then Renaya popped out of nowhere. No, not nowhere—my sickened past. And now she was here to make the woman I love, distrust and probably hate me. To cause chaos, because Renaya doesn't back down when she wants something, she gets it no matter what, not even her life is at stake. That's how crazy my friend can be when she's obsessed. And I used to love her for that but now, I'm scared she was like that in the first place. The traveling box Ambrose was holding slid from his hand and landed with a loud thud on the tiled floor.“My box!” Renaya snapped, hurrying over to pick it. Ambrose stepped forward. “I definitely heard wrong, right?” he said, voice tight. “She didn't just call you Scratch, did she?” “Ambrose….” Elena’s voice came out quiet. “You knew?” H

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 41: Her Name Is Renaya

    { Elena's POV } I stared at Ambrose’s last message for a while.She’s asking for Nick? But why?My fingers hovered over the screen. Hope it’s nothing serious. No, don’t panic. She’s also from the kingdom so… everything should be fine.I typed back:Uhm, maybe she’s here to check up on him since he’s on Lycan business too.I paused, then added:I don’t know….. Whatever. ByeeI pressed the power button, threw the phone on the side table, and walked to the full length mirror. My face was still slightly flushed and my lips were swollen and pink.I traced my thumb along them, a small smile forming on my lips. The Goddess knows how badly I’ve been craving for a man to kiss me like he can’t get enough of my taste.I tilted my head so I could see the bite marks on my neck. They stung a little when I brushed my fingers over them. My smile widened, then vanished the moment the word “Scratch” rang in my head.I sighed, turned around, and dropped face-down onto my bed.“Tomorrow,” I muttered i

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 40: Kiss Me senseless.

    { Elena's POV }The kiss wasn’t soft.It felt like three days of silence and every unsaid longing hitting me at once. His mouth was hot and rough. One hand stayed beside my head while the other gripped my waist so tight I could feel it through my trousers. A low growl vibrated through his chest and went straight down my spine.I should have pushed him away. Stopped this madness. Instead my fingers twisted in his shirt and pulled him closer.He kissed me deeper, using his body to tilt my head back. When his tongue flicked against mine, a small soft moan came out of me before I could stop it. He answered with another growl and bit my lower lip—not hard enough to draw blood, just enough to sting and send heat curling low in my stomach. His scent hit me. Cedar and warm sandalwood that made my skin tingle. He removed his mouth from my lips and dragged his nose down along my throat, breathing me in like his life depended on it, then bit down just under my ear. The sharp feeling made my kne

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 39: Tell Me To Go Away

    { Elena's POV } The last three days have been the driest time of my entire life. I sat, legs crossed on my bed, my chin resting on my palm. Three days. No text. No call. No note. No explanation. Nothing. I haven't heard a single thing from Nicholas Hale—or so he calls himself. How am I even sure that's his real name? I just felt like I don't even know shit about him and he knows more about me than I do. I felt cheated. I ran my free hand into my hair. Maybe I was overreacting. He had done his homework and I had not bothered to do the same. I had just believed him.Idiot. Now I feel stupid for liking him and fantasizing about him. And maybe for trusting him. Now it's feeling like a betrayal or maybe not. Gosh. I'm still overreacting. I pressed my palms flat against my eyes. Idiot. I let out a low groan and dragged myself out of bed, changed into something more presentable—being on my pajamas since morning and it's already 1pm.“Come down, we need to talk.” Ambrose’s voice

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 38: The Black Daggers.

    { Nicholas POV } “I don't understand, what are you trying to say?” she said, her voice breaking as she stepped away. My hand dropped down to my side. “Trust me, it's nothing you need to worry too much about.”She let out a small laugh. “Trust you? You're fucking keeping things away from me! And still have the guts to tell me I'll be angry when I find out? Who the hell are you!? “Elena—”I reached for her arm but she stepped back.“We're supposed to be a fucking team!” The crack in her voice made something move through my chest. I had known from the beginning that keeping my real identity from her was a calculated risk. Back then she was just a mission—a complication with a mate bond attached. But somewhere between watching her cry in that garden and taking three silver blades without thinking twice, the calculation stopped being a calculation. She was not a complication anymore. I was not even sure what she was, only that my mission had rearranged itself around her without asking

  • Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate    CHAPTER 37: Father Knows.

    { Elena's POV } I froze on the spot. My breath caught. What was I supposed to tell him? That I was out all night nursing an injured Nicholas to health? He doesn't even know who he really is or what we've been doing together. Dad would give me the scolding of my life if I told him Ambrose and I together with a stranger got involved in a fight that has nothing to do with our pack. And I never lied to my father. Dad's voice came quiet and even. "I asked a question.”I blinked my eyes rapidly, an awkward smile forming on my lips as I came down from the stairs. “I… Uhmm….”Oh this stupid brain of mine. Think of something fast. “I–I had to attend to something really urgent.” I quipped. “Personal issues.”Dad raised his brow, giving me that I know you're lying kind of look. “Follow me to my office,” he said, already leading the way. I swallowed hard. “Yes sir.”I'm in deep shit—that I know for sure. I dropped my head low and followed him. We passed through the main corridor, everyo

    [Nicholas's POV ] I strode out of the room and flung the door shut with a loud bang. Her sobs followed next. For a moment, I felt regret; a part of me wanted to go back and apologize... but no!It had to stop one day and that day was today."You did the right thing," Kyle said in a reassuring tone.

    [Nicholas's POV ]I stared at the rare beauty in front of me, deep brown eyes drowning into mine like she couldn't have enough, smooth pale skin smothered with drops of water, her wet long hair clung to her skin, damn....she had only a towel on, it seemed she just came out of the bathroom. My eyes

He was still in his warrior gear and there was mud on his boots.The next thing I know, he's right in front of me, engulfing me in a warm embrace. “I was so scared Lena, thought I lost you,” he

Spare us Moon goddess.” I prayed silently. Taking a deep breath, I star
