AMIRA

With the other alphas arriving tomorrow, The Silver Fang Tavern was the last thing I should have been worrying about.

Even then, it was the only thing I could think about without panic creeping into my chest.

On top of that, it gave me something unexpected to deal with first thing that morning.

Years ago, I had created the Silver Fang Network and added an online job application.

It was nothing special.

My computer skills had never been great, but setting up a simple website had been e

  • Rejected But Wanted By The Cruel Alpha    70

    AMIRA As we walked closer, an SUV pulled into the driveway. One of the guards at the house moved forward and opened the door for the passengers.A slim woman stepped out first. An older woman followed her.The first woman looked almost too delicate to be an alpha. Her salt-and-pepper hair was curled and pinned neatly at the top of her head. She wore a red pantsuit that fit her in a sharp, precise way.For a moment, an odd thought came to me. She was the kind of woman I might want to become one day. Calm. Put together. Effortless.But that feeling didn’t last.There was power in her. Not loud. Not open. It sat under her skin, steady and controlled.Violence, held back carefully. Hidden behind elegance.This was the woman who once threatened to kill a child.And still, she hadn’t gone through with it.“Derrick,” she said coldly as soon as she looked at him. “You kept me waiting.”Derrick Nightfang didn’t react much. His voice stayed even.“You arrived without notice,” he said. “We d

    AMIRA Could barely focus on what Derrick Nightfang was saying while we walked back.An alpha was already here.Malachai.No doubt about it. Trying to unsettle Derrick. Trying to unsettle me too.It worked, even if I didn’t want to admit it.Not enough to shake me the way it used to, though.That version of me felt far away now. The one who used to flinch at his presence, who used to feel small under it.Whatever Malachai did back then, it didn’t own me anymore.It wouldn’t again.“Why did you walk?” The question came out before I could stop it.Derrick was still speaking. I cut him off without meaning to.“Sorry.”His jaw tightened. A small muscle moved there as he kept his eyes forward.“I walked because I don’t need to rearrange my entire day just because someone decides to arrive early,” he said. “We’re still preparing. That comes first.”His voice stayed even, but there was pressure under it.Control. Always control.“Right,” I said quietly.“Appearances matter.”Even as I said i

    DERRICK It bothered me more than I wanted to admit.Not in the same way Amira’s friendship with Ronan bothered me, but it still sat under my skin, quiet and steady, refusing to leave.Ronan was still someone I didn’t fully understand. Too many parts of him were still closed off to me, still forming into something I could read properly.Damien was different.I had known him before he left. Before everything changed. Back then, trust between us had been simple. He had never given me a reason to question him, never made me doubt where he stood.The mate bond could be a cruel thing like that.Even worse when the other side didn’t feel it at all.“Thank you,” Damien said softly.His voice was calm, but there was something careful in it too. Like he already understood too much without needing it explained.His eyes stayed on me for a moment longer than necessary.“You’re about to take her away, aren’t you?”“I am.”There was a reason I had come to the restaurant to take Amira.A clear

    DERRICK Damien Holloway wanted to be Amira's hero. He wanted to rescue her.From me.Not a chance.After hearing the offer Damien had made to Amira, I waited for him to find the courage to repeat those same words while facing me. The color had drained from his face, but he stayed where he was and gave a small nod."You have to believe that I don't mean any disrespect," he said in a steady voice. "My father believed your pack would never truly accept her. Deep down, you probably know that too. If she can't stay here, then she should at least have somewhere safe to go. I can protect her.""Your father has been dead for months," I said. "What took you so long to come here?"As I spoke, I walked behind Amira and rested one hand on her shoulder.She didn't flinch.That alone eased something inside me.My wolf was furious. The thought of another man trying to take my mate away was enough to make him snap at everything around him. My power spread out, reaching every wolf close enough to

    AMIRA We joined Damien Holloway at one of the tables. Ronan could have worked from another table without any problem, but he chose the seat between us instead. Then he turned his chair toward Damien and watched him without looking away. It was clear he wanted Damien to know he was being watched. The quiet and relaxed talk I had hoped for disappeared before it even started."Derrick must have thought the world had gone crazy when his mate turned out to be Rowan Kingsley's daughter," Damien said with a quiet laugh. "Part of me wishes I had been there to see his face.""You and Derrick didn't get along?" I asked."He was my alpha," Damien answered. "I gave him my loyalty while I lived under him. When I told him I wanted to leave, he understood and let me go. There's no bad blood between us. I'm thankful he's letting me stay here as long as he is."He paused and shrugged."But he's always been serious. That's the kind of alpha he has to be. He wears that face because everyone expects

    AMIRA Damien Holloway had his father’s eyes.It was not only the same warm, deep brown color.He had the same quiet kindness in them too.Even Ronan seemed to ease a little after Astrid was led away.Damien watched her leave with one eyebrow raised, but he stayed silent until she was completely out of sight.Then we looked at each other with care.He remained standing in the middle of the Grand Feast Hall while I stayed near the doorway that led into the kitchen.There were other things they shared too.The shape of his jaw was almost the same.He had the same widow’s peak.Damien was clearly his father’s son, but there was still something young about him.He did not carry the hard edge that Gareth had developed over the years.That difference stood out more the longer I looked at him.“You are not responsible for my father’s death,” he said in a quiet voice.“I came here because I wanted to say goodbye.”“I also wanted to speak with the people who knew him best.“Your name came up a
