Rejected By An Alpha, Adored By A Lycan

Aria's POV“Wake up, you're not supposed to be here” a firm voice echoes in my head, “It's me, Ari, I'm back.” I feel like I have been sleeping for quite a while. I twitch the muscles of my toes and fingers. My eyes feel heavy, and my vision foggy. Blinking severally, I then gently pry my eyes open. My eyes slowly adjust to the brightness. “Where the hell am I”, I thought in my head.I peered around the warm room I am in. I am definitely in a hospital bed, this is not the infirmary at my pack though.“Who will even waste their precious time to take a weakling like me to the infirmary”, I mull.“You know I hate it when you say these things about yourself”, the same voice that made me wake, sounds irritated.Then it all clicks. “Willow, you're back!”, I bellow. My wolf is finally back, but something seems off. Paying more attention, I can hear the flow of water but there isn't one in sight. The chirping of birds is so clear as if I were outside, tiny ants so visible as if I were righ

Alpha Kael's POV“Jessica, I have to let you go, I'm so sorry if I've hurt you, but, I now have a fated mate”, I said plainly, my voice void of any emotions.Her full lips curl up in a sneer, “So that's it, Kael, after everything I've done for you.”A subtle sigh escaped my lips, this will definitely be harder than I initially thought. Jessica was the best choice for a Luna, since I thought I wouldn't get a second chance mate. But now things are different, I could barely take my eyes off my mate at the welcome dinner three nights ago.“What we have is real, Kael”, she continues, “I love you so much, I'm even ready to let go of my mate for you”, she pulls me close, with a soft pout on her lips and tears streaming down her face.I take a wide step backwards, “First, it's Alpha to you not Kael, and the deal is until we find our mates, which is the case right now”.She quickly wipes the “crocodile” tears off her face, and said, “I will have you no matter what, I will be damned if I let an

Aria's POV “Yes, I'd love to”, I say, breaking the silence. I'd love to give this a chance, that's the least I can do. I won't let my fears rear their head back again and ruin my second chance at love.He let out a sigh in relief, “I thought you would decline my offer, this means a whole lot to me. I'd love to know everything about you”, he says, “Your dress is in your room, be ready by eight, Kitten.”“Okay, I look forward to it, Alpha”, I muttered with inflamed cheeks.His eyes darken at my words, “Do well to behave, Kitten.” His lips stretch out in a smile, “I love it when you call me, Alpha.”“Jeez I'm leaving now”, I answer, “You're making me feel all shy.”I wiggle out of his loving arms, rushing out of his office. His loud laughter can be heard down the hallway. Unfortunately for me I have a horrible sense of direction. The hallway feels like it is closing in on me, I wish I hadn't rushed out of Kael's office. My pack is yet to be officially joined with the Cantara Pack. “A

Alpha Kael's POV Aria has no idea that Maria told me about the altercation with Omari. I never liked the way he treated Omegas in his pack as filth. I need to get his filthy claws far from my mate.“That would be all,” I say. The piercing silence is replaced with a chorus of “Yes Alpha.”“Meet me in my office after breakfast,” I mindlink my Beta, Aldin.“Yes, Alpha,” He replies. His usual playful demeanour is replaced by a serious one. He knows when I mean business and is an extremely efficient Beta, though I won't tell him that to his face.“Can I see you later, Babe,” Jessica's high pitched voice fills my mind. “No, and if you value your position in the pack you will keep your distance.”Thankfully, I am able to enjoy the rest of my breakfast in peace.***A loud knock distracts me from the stack of papers I am working on, on my office table. “Come in.” I say in response and my Beta pushes the door strolling in as if he owns the place. “You asked me to come, Alpha, is anything

Aria's POV I can recognize that voice anywhere. “I, Jessica Woods, challenge you, Luna Aria, for your position as Luna.”Gasps of surprise envelope the air. It's almost unheard of for a Luna to be challenged immediately after attaining the position. It can only mean that she is deemed as incompetent. “An Omega is unfit to rule the largest pack in Crescent Moon. She cannot even dream about filling the shoes that Former Luna, Margaret left.” She finishes.Loud murmurs fill the pack grounds, looks of disdain are thrown at me, in response to this revelation.A loud snarl from my mate shakes the entire pack grounds. The whole place goes completely still. I grasp his arms tightly, the air feels suffocating, my palms grow wet with sweat.He gently pries his arms off mine, taking powerful strides towards Jessica. Just as he gets to the farthest part of the podium, Aldin reaches out and grabs his shoulders whispering, though I could surprisingly make it out.All this while, she stands compl
