I saw the shock in Lance’s eyes.

“What do you mean about your father?” he asked, his voice laced with confusion. “My father is the victim here!”

I shook my head slowly, firmly.

“No, Lance,” I said, my voice trembling but clear. “Our father died because of your father. He committed treason!”

“No… lies!” Lance shouted, his voice rising with fury as he took a step toward me. His hand reached out like he wanted to grab me—like he still thought he had power over me.

The second he moved closer, something inside me snapped.

I didn’t even understand what was happening at first. But my body responded before my mind could catch up. It was like a dam breaking. Heat surged through me, so intense it felt like my skin would tear apart.

My breathing hitched. My hands started to tremble.

And then, in one sudden, uncontrollable burst, I changed.

It was raw, painful, overwhelming. Bones cracked, skin stretched, and everything I thought I knew about myself fell away in an instant.

  • Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Enemy   11. The Weight of Second Chance

    “W-What?”He sighed, then reached out. “This is the only—”I didn’t mean to push Dominic away.It just happened.The moment his hand touched my skin, that strange energy surged through me. My chest tightened, and before I could stop it, my wolf howled in my head.‘It’s him.’My eyes widened in disbelief. “W-What?” I whispered to myself, shaken.‘He’s your second chance mate,’ my wolf confirmed.My heart dropped.No.That’s impossible! I refused to accept it. I didn’t want it to be true. How could Dominic—of all people—be my second chance mate?I stared at him. My head began to throb, and I couldn’t think straight. This couldn’t be real. I shook my head repeatedly, trying to deny it. I could barely breathe as panic rushed through my chest.Then Dominic spoke.“You're not his official Luna yet. This will help you.”He looked at me with those unreadable eyes. “I’m giving you this chance.”I stepped back, trying to steady my breathing. “But… you felt it too, didn’t you?” I asked, my voice

  • Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Enemy   9. The Rejection of The Alpha

    “Stop what you’re doing right now, Lance!”I took a step forward, my legs still shaky from the duel I had earlier with Dominic. My body screamed for rest, but I ignored the pain. I didn’t care. Not anymore. I had to face him, now!I walked toward him with heavy steps. He stood tall and unfazed, even as I positioned myself between him and Dominic.He didn’t flinch.Instead, he smiled—smug, confident, and cruel. That same smile that used to make my heart race now only fueled the anger burning inside me. I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my skin.I thought about the child growing inside me. A child that shouldn’t have to be born into this twisted world. I once believed Lance and I would have time—that we had a future. That maybe we could fix things between us.But I was wrong.Everything was falling apart.And I wasn’t going to let him get what he wanted. Not this time.“So, you finally showed yourself,” he said.“Everyone lied. They said you weren’t here. That they didn’t

  • Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Enemy   8. All Out War

    “You shouldn’t be too hard on yourself,” Adrian said, his voice calm but concerned. “You shouldn’t have agreed to Alpha Dominic’s terms. I could’ve talked to him for you.”Adrian had helped me back to my room after what happened. I was too weak to walk on my own, so he guided me gently, his arm supporting most of my weight. The moment I sat down, I let out a shaky breath. My chest felt tight, and honestly, I was still struggling to breathe properly. I never imagined Dominic could be that fast… or that strong.“He’s powerful.” I whispered, still catching my breath.Adrian nodded slowly, like he wasn’t surprised. “That’s why he’s the Alpha here. No one can beat him. He’s not just strong, he’s formidable.”I nodded, trying to process everything. My hands trembled slightly as I placed them on my lap. “I really thought he was going to kill me back there.”He let out a small sigh. “Oh no, Cass. That was just him warming up. He wasn’t even using his full strength. From what I saw earlier, he

  • Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Enemy   7. A Training Day: Her She-Wolf Began Appear

    It took me a few days before I could finally feel okay again.I needed time to recover, physically and emotionally.“Cassie, are you sure you want to attend this training?” he asked, concern written all over his face. “The training ground here is no joke. It’s brutal. Alpha Dominic runs things differently. This isn't like what you're used to. And you’re new here.”He paused, like he was hoping I’d change my mind.“It’s okay if you need more time. There’s no pressure. No one's rushing you.”I looked at him, my heart clenching a little. I appreciated his concern, really, but I knew I couldn’t hide forever.“I understand your concern, Adrian,” I said softly. “But I don’t want to stay weak. I need to get stronger. I need to be able to protect myself... and you. I can’t just sit around after what Lance and his family did to us. I can’t accept that. We need justice for our parents. We need to bring back our family’s name.”He let out a sharp breath, frustrated but calm. “I get that you're a

    Lance’s POVThe ceremony was finally over. I returned straight to the pack house, expecting to find Cassie waiting inside, just like she always did. Like a loyal dog.But before I could even reach the door, a familiar voice called out behind me.“Lance, where are you going?”I stopped walking and turned around. It was Arielle.I clenched my jaw. “What are you doing here? Why did you follow me?”She stepped closer, wearing that same smug expression she always had when she thought she was winning.“Are you seriously going back to her?” she asked. “I already announced to everyone that you're mine, and that I’m yours. You didn’t even stop me. That must mean something. It means you don’t care about her anymore, right? Wherever she is now, it doesn't matter to you.”I stared at her for a long moment before smirking widely.“You’re the only woman I’ve ever loved,” I said, my voice low but firm. “You’re the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But I need Cassie beside me now.”Arie
