REJECTED MATE Chapter 170
Chapter 31As the united pack and council members concluded another day of ensuring harmony in the supernatural realm, they gathered in the council hall for a moment of reflection. /Millent, the triplet, and the council members sat together, their hearts full of gratitude for the journey they had shared and the bond that had brought them together."We've come a long way," Millent said with a smile, looking at her pack and council members. "Our realm has flourished, and we've overcome every challenge that has come our way."Daniel nodded, his eyes filled with warmth. "And it's all thanks to the power of our unity and love," he said. "Together, there's nothing we can't overcome."Mike added, "Our realm has become a sanctuary for beings of all species, a place of acceptance and understanding. We've shown the world that unity can conquer darkness."As they looked back on their journey, they recognized the profound impact they had made in the lives of countless beings. Their realm had bec
REJECTED MATE Chapter 1
PrologueMaya Simpkin raised the beer along with most of her peers. Not only had they all graduated from high school, but they just had their first turning. Even as her arms shook from the transition of human into wolf, she wanted to take the time to celebrate. Her entire body was on fire.She felt sick and hungry at the same time. Her head felt like it had spent the past couple of hours banging against a brick wall. None of that was going to stop her from enjoying this very moment.She was finally a wolf.For a whole year she’d been afraid that she wouldn’t be able to turn, that her parents would be pissed, and the pack would turn her away. Admittedly, for them to do that, their alpha, Luke Marshall, would have to be present, which he never was.It was kind of weird for them to have a nomad biker as their alpha. She rarely saw him, but she always knew when he was in town because the pack just went nuts. He’d stop by from time to time. The truth was, he wasn’t their true alpha, well,
REJECTED MATE Chapter 2
She couldn’t control the feelings that swept over her. Part of her wanted to get on her knees and beg him to fuck her, and another part wanted him to get on his knees and press that face between her thighs.Luke wrapped his fingers around her neck, pulled her close, and then she shared her first kiss. The moment their lips touched, all of it became clear to her. This man, her alpha, was her mate.“One day, when you meet your mate, you will just know, sweetheart. We can’t tell you exactly how we know this, but you have to trust us. It’s this feeling, it is more powerful than anything you’ve ever felt. It is more exciting than Christmas, more enjoyable than chocolate ice cream, and so much more intense than any exam you’ve ever studied for.”Holy shit! Maya couldn’t believe it. This was impossible. Luke Marshall, the pack alpha, the wandering nomad biker, was her … mate. This couldn’t be happening.She had never felt this way. It was shockingly overwhelming, almost terrifying, and she d
REJECTED MATE Chapter 3
She was pretty good at it as well. Maya absolutely hated it, but she helped the pack whenever they came into the store, and when needed, filled some online orders. John, the owner, was a nice guy. He was fair as well.She hadn’t been able to move out of her parents’ home yet, but she was close to saving for an apartment of her own. Actually, she had enough money, but what stopped her was a decision. A choice. To leave the pack for good and to start fresh, or to stay.Nibbling her lip, she looked toward the two towns. Some wolves, like Luke, survived without a pack. There was nothing bad about being alone. Of course, the battle would be in being lonely. That was the only part she wasn’t looking forward to. In fact, it did kind of worry her.Tucking some hair behind her ears, she took a deep breath, trying to convince herself she was fine and happy. She hadn’t told a single soul what happened that night. Staring up at the full moon, she closed her eyes as she felt the tears welling up.
REJECTED MATE Chapter 4
Five years ago, Luke Marshall had walked into a bar, the same bar he’d been inside for eight years straight, perhaps even longer. He’d walked into that bar as the alpha of the pack, and nothing life-changing had ever occurred. He’d seen groups over that time celebrating their transition. Some large groups, others small. He’d often had a drink with them, given them a slap on the back in celebration, and waited a couple of days before moving on.That night, it had been different. He’d walked into that bar and the moment he inhaled, he smelled her. His mate—the woman who was meant for him.He’d seen her take a drink of her beer, wrinkle her nose, and step out of the bar. Luke hadn’t been able to stop himself. He’d followed her, intrigued by the woman, besotted. There was no escape from it. None whatsoever. She was a newbie. Young. Eighteen freaking years old.He was a nomad. He’d taken a vow to be on his own. Each time he came back to this fucking pack, he broke that bastard vow, but he
REJECTED MATE Chapter 5
Maya grabbed his wrist, sinking her nails into his flesh. “Let me go!”He didn’t want to. She was no match for him. It was going to take more than a few nails in his flesh to hurt him. Pulling her in close, he stared into her brown eyes. They were lovely and dark, but he saw the spark of her wolf lying just beneath the surface. She was a strong woman, and she shared a bond with her wolf. He liked that.“How have you been?” he asked.“You don’t get to ask me that question. I can find my own way home.” She moved her hand up to his fingers, and this time, as she pulled them back so he’d let her go, he did as she asked.He didn’t want broken fingers, and something told him Maya hated him. Not that he could blame her, he’d been cruel to her five years ago. In his defense, she’d been freaking young. A baby. Eighteen years old. A newbie. She had her whole life ahead of her, and he … well, he’d seen shit that would make her scream. He had the scars on his body to prove it. He had no choice bu
REJECTED MATE Chapter 6
“I still don’t like it. You spend way too much time on your own, exploring the woods. We’re worried half to death about the trouble you can get into.”“Mom, I’m fine. Last night I wasn’t alone. Jordan was with me.”Leah sighed. “That’s good. Jordan is a good boy. You haven’t had … you know...”“I’ve told you, Mom, that’s not going to happen. Jordan and I are not mates.”The cup Luke had been holding shattered within his grip.Maya sipped her drink while staring at him over the rim.“I don’t know my own strength,” he said, as an excuse.Her father was already fussing over him, trying to clean up the mess.“Let me grab you another one,” Leah said, reaching for a mug. “It’s such a shame. You and Jordan have been friends for as long as I can remember. He’d make a nice mate, I’m sure of it.”“He’s not mine.”“I know, but you are aware that some people mate even though they’re not fated mates.”She chuckled. “I know that, Mom, and when his mate comes along, I’ll be left high and dry. Trust
REJECTED MATE Chapter 7
Luke stopped eating. “Her transition?”Leah dropped the cutlery onto her plate and covered her face.“We don’t know exactly what happened that night,” Ben said, reaching out to his woman. He rubbed her back, trying to offer her comfort. “From what we’ve heard from her friends and even Jordan, the night was a huge success. They were celebrating.”“I heard her, Ben. I know you heard her too.”“Heard her?” Luke asked. He was tired of hearing Jordan’s name already. The urge to crush him was so strong, but he gained control of himself. He could understand why the boy was besotted with her. Maya was a fucking dream.“She came home,” Leah said. “We were … in the back garden, but she came home, and we listened.”“She sobbed herself to sleep,” Ben said. “The next morning, her face was red and swollen from all the tears.”“And suddenly she doesn’t want my food anymore. I can’t even bake. It’s been so long since I baked anything.” Leah covered her face again. “She won’t even have her favorite, c
