The smell…… that was what woke me up.

It smelled warm, savory, and very delicious, it glided through the guest room like it was offered a soft invitation. My nose wriggled even before I was fully awake. Eggs, Toast, Something frying in oil, maybe meat. For a split second, I panicked, how did I get into this strange house, with strange scents, and I smelled a strange man who wasn’t a wolf. My body tensed, and for a moment I thought I had wandered into danger forgetting that I had met Marcus Chen.

Not until memories of last night came back to mind, that was when I calmed down.

I sat up slowly, brushing a strand of hair from my face. His house was simple compared to the packhouses I had grown up in, but clean. It felt like it was military neat. The guest bed had crisp sheets that smelled faintly of detergent and pine. Sunlight came in through the half-drawn curtains, bathing the pale walls gold.

The smell grew stronger and my stomach growled, loud enough for me to wince in pain from hung

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 26 - The Questions Behind the Smile

    The door clicked shut behind him, and I froze like a child caught red-handed. Dante’s tall frame filled the doorway, his scar catching the light in a way that made him look carved out of something harsher than stone. Those icy blue eyes swept the room once, then locked on me. I straightened, trying to look casual beside the edge of his desk, but the way his gaze pinned me made every excuse I rehearsed shrivel on my tongue.“Did no one ever teach you,” he said, shutting the door with a soft finality, “that snooping is bad manners?”Heat rose to my face. I opened my mouth, then shut it again, fumbling for an explanation that didn’t make me sound guilty. “I….I wasn’t snooping,” I muttered. “I was just… waiting for you to come in… you asked me to see you so I was waiting.”His mouth curved, just barely but it wasn’t a smile. More like a smirk. He just walked past me, his presence filled the office, and he set down a stack of papers on the desk where I had just been hovering. “Waiting?” he

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 25 - Snooping.

    By the time my third and final class of the day ended, my head should’ve been aching from all the information crammed into it. Instead, I felt… alive. Every word, every sentence the lecturers had spoken was as though it had carved itself into my brain, permanent and unshakable. When the others shuffled their papers and groaned about assignments, I sat there almost glowing with the strange certainty that I could recall every detail, down to the tone of the lecturer’s voice.As I packed my bag, Eryndra’s voice slid softly through my mind, steady and measured as always.“Do you know why you’ve remembered every single event that has happened in your life since the day Elena found you?”The question startled me so much that I nearly dropped my bag. I swallowed, lowering my gaze so no one could see how rattled I was. “No,” I murmured under my breath as I slipped out of the classroom. “I don’t know.”The campus corridors were full of chattering students, but for me, their voices blurred into

    The sharp trill of the campus bell echoed through the hallway, a reminder that the day was truly beginning. I rubbed down my simple shirt nervously, holding the notebook Marcus had insisted I carry. It wasn’t much compared to the shiny supplies I’d seen Jeile unpack yesterday, but it was mine, and somehow, that made it enough.The classroom was already half full when I stepped inside. Rows of sleek wooden desks faced a broad chalkboard at the front. The hum of chatter buzzed in the air, light laughter mixed with the squeak of chairs against the tiled floor. Some students leaned close to their friends, whispering about assignments or gossip; others scrolled through glowing screens.I chose a seat near the window, not too close to the front where attention might single me out, and not too far back where I might look like I was trying to hide. The early morning sunlight spilled through the glass, painting warm stripes across the desk. I inhaled deeply, steadying my nerves.A few students

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 23 - Not just a dream

    It took me a while to sleep that night, my body wasn’t used to the room yet and honestly Jeile on the other end of the room kept sighing and tossing around dramatically. Aside all that my mind kept wandering around restlessly, and when I finally drifted off to sleep it wasn’t peaceful and quiet.I had a dream. A weird oneThe dream opened around me like some theater stage. I was in my old cottage and it was thick with fog, swirling silver and ash, carrying the scent of earth and pine. At first, I thought I was alone. My feet pressed into the soil, damp and cold, but the air vibrated with a presence I couldn’t name. Then a voice cut through the fog, it was soft yet commanding.“Lila.”I turned and there she was.Elena.She looked a little bit different, it was a lot even. Her hair glowed as if it caught moonlight even here, her figure serene yet weighted with sorrow. The same Elena who once guided me, and who whispered truths into my confusion. My chest tightened at the sight of her.

    Marcus stirred the pot slowly whilst I sat on the dining seat watching the steam rise, the scent of the spice filled the air of the kitchen.Watching Marcus cook has turned into one of my favorite human activities, I wanted to learn how to. I loved how they chopped the vegetables, the sound of soup boiling, and even the way oil hissed on the pan.I was thinking about cooking, not noticing that Marcus had already sat down in front of time now, and for a long time none of us spoke, it was just the soft sound of soup filling the quiet. But Marcus finally broke it.“So,” He said slowly, “you meant what you said earlier? Wanting me to train you?”I glanced at him, playing with the dining mat. “ Yes Sir Marcus, I’m tired of being helpless and weak. Every time something happens to me, I’m either running or being dragged and I no longer want that.”He watched me quietly for a while, “Training is not a game, Lila. It’s filled with a lot of discipline, injuries, sweats and most of the time pai

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 21 - The rooftop decision

    The days had gone by slowly since Marcus suggested I go to the university, the cheque still sat untouched in a locked drawer in the guest room. Marcus, however, wasted no time. He moved with a restless determination, he was always making calls, meeting people, pulling favors in places I didn’t even know existed. And now, here we were, walking side by side toward the wide, gleaming gates of Oregon University.The campus was bigger than anything I had ever seen. Tall glass buildings reflected the morning sun, their windows facades decorated with banners about innovation and progress. Students streamed in and out, laughing, talking, carrying books or tapping on sleek tablets. Their voices overlapped in a rush of accents and slang I still struggled to piece together.I hugged my borrowed bag closer to my chest, nerves twisting my stomach into knots. “Marcus,” I whispered, “this feels… too much. Are you sure I can do this? What if they find out I’m not….”“You’re Lila Riles now,” he inter
