Rejected And Reclaimed By My Mate's Uncle

I didn’t talk to anyone when I got home. I just went straight to my room and cried until the next morning, and when I woke up, I started another round of crying. My pillow was soaked, and my nose kept running. I felt like I was slowly fading away, like I was no longer myself but just a shadow of who I used to be.My phone notification broke the silence, and I struggled to pick it up. Seeing Christopher's post on social media made me sniffle with curiosity. The caption says, "Clara Morgan, the true mate". The post had a picture of him and the woman he kissed last night. The moment I saw it, a fresh wave of tears hit me. I had believed I found love, but it turned out to be nothing more than a cruel lie.I turned off my phone and cried all over again, my heart felt too broken and the pain was too much to bear. I lay on my bed, soaking the sheets with tears, when someone knocked on the door. I didn’t respond right away because I was too drained to care."Open this door, Isabella," my mom

The lounge was beautifully decorated with a red theme. The floor was covered in rose petals. My heart was pounding hard in my chest and my hands were shaking.As I looked around, I realized I was the only person there. I slowly walked farther into the space, the sound of my black heels echoing across the room.Suddenly, I heard the clear flapping of wings. Before I could react, a white dove landed gently on my right shoulder. I held still, trying not to panic because it had happened so quickly.I turned my head to look at the bird and saw that it had a tiny note in its beak. I carefully took the note, and the dove flew away immediately.When I unfolded the note, I saw the words written in bold letters: "MARRY ME."I stood there in complete shock. It was too early, too sudden, and I had not expected it at all.Then, I heard the sound of a piano playing. I looked around and saw a man seated behind a grand piano.My heart beat even faster the moment I recognized him. It was Alpha Lucian.

Lucian povThe suit was tailored late, but it fit perfectly. I never liked suits much, but work made me so used to them that I couldn't go a day without ordering a new one.My suits usually reflected my mood. And today’s suit showed I was one step closer to getting everything I wanted. It was strange, really, to think there’d come a day when I would say I was getting married. I had never planned to take a mate. Ever.I buttoned the suit slowly while looking at my reflection in the mirror. I was in my dressing room when I heard a loud bang on the door. Someone had barged in without knocking. Only one person had that kind of boldness.I didn’t turn around right away. I waited.Then came his voice. "You! What is the meaning of this?"I turned slightly and saw my elder brother, Luke, glaring at me like I’d committed a crime."What do you mean?" I asked calmly."This wedding. What’s the meaning of it?"I turned back to the mirror and kept buttoning my suit. I tried not to smirk. If he thoug

Isabella’s POV"I didn’t think you had it in you," an older man said to Lucian as he walked over to us.The drama at the wedding was over. We were now at the second part of the ceremony, which was mostly for socializing and entertainment."Me neither," Lucian replied with a smile. It was a real smile, not the fake one he had been wearing since we left the altar."And she’s beautiful too," another man said, joining us. Lucian grinned widely."Is she prestigious? You’ve always liked quality things," the first man added. My heart skipped a beat at that question, but Lucian didn’t seem bothered."Well, she is now," he answered, and they both smiled. I guessed they didn’t care much about social status."Your father would roll in his grave.""True. If I were dead, I would too. Never thought the day would come when our Lucian would grow up and choose to be responsible," the second man joked. I started to feel uncomfortable, like I was listening to something I shouldn’t hear.I glanced around

"I won't ask you to avoid Chris when we get there but be mindful of what you say, you need to know you hold a higher place than him now," Lucian said on our ride to the pack house where the crowning ceremony was supposed to take place.I woke up this morning feeling like I could conquer anything because I was going to be a different person as of today. I was going to be given power and authority that I could wield at my will. I had been anticipating today since I slept last night, my day was about to get even better."Sure, I understand" I responded and he continued what he was doing on his phone.I couldn't say I was bothered by the way Lucian acted, it was expected, from everything I have heard across the pack about who he was and how he loved his solitariness.I never even expected him to invite me to his home, I thought I would go back to my mother's but he shocked me and I was sure he shocked himself with the decision he made but anyways I wasn't here for love either.As we got c
