Life in the cottage has been good to Selly, well, except for one thing or maybe two.

Firstly, she couldn't eat fish everyday.

Although the journey to and from the pond had felt shorter every time, perhaps it was because she now could jog her way through the wilderness without needing tree marks to guide her home.

There was another matter as well, one that wasn't particularly in her favor.

She had been lucky on her first fishing attempt, like how she liked calling it, hunting. But the fish had been getting fewer and smaller by the day, no, by the way she had struggled to catch any decent sized fish the second day, it was obvious that catching fish was becoming next to impossible which meant her fish reserve was shrinking by the hour.

With all the birds feasting on it all day, it was no wonder there was nothing left for her to eat.

So today she decided to try something new. A fresh way to survive.

Calculating the risks of her imagination, she set to go beyond the pond. Why might one

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   65: Visiting Beta Grigor

    The journey back home was mainly long silence and a few moments of small talk.Luna Collette, just like his son didn't have much to say, not after the emotional rollercoaster ride they just endured.Alpha Valery Flame was blunt. Too blunt that if one didn't know better they would easily conclude that he did not like Dominik. At the same time, he was more than helpful during the hearing which left them in a dilemma.“You should mark your mate. The sooner the better.” Lewis broke the silence.“That will only happen once she is ready.”“But it's already giving you unnecessary problems.” Collette emphasized.“I won't force it on her, mom. Unfortunately, her father will have to adjust.”“Valery is the last person we want to offend at the moment. I hope you know that.” His father reminded.Dominik chose not to comment on his father's words. He knew what he meant but it didn't erase the fact that he was offended.“Try not to think too much about it. We will find a way out of this together.”

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   64: Humiliated

    “My brother is recuperating from his injuries and couldn't come.” Dominik came to Lewis' rescue. “And no, Selly is no lycan.”Lewis cast his eyes down. His son's actions could have repercussions. All the Alpha’s eyes were directed at Dominik, making him feel weak on the knees. The audacity of him to speak when he wasn't allowed to.The audacity to place himself on the same level as Alphas when he was clearly not.Dominik could feel their intense glares but he stood firm. He was used to leading meetings and convincing CEOs but to those fierce and ruthless pack leaders, he felt small against their collective domineering auras. It was a risky move but he had to try.Seeing that the Head of the Council didn't stop him, they all decided to listen to him, otherwise his disrespect would have landed him in trouble. “I will bring my brother to all of you to prove that he is no threat to any of us.”“Is that to say he has no potential to harm anyone?” Lorenzo asked.It was a tricky question

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   63: The last female lycan

    A lycan? Lewis almost rolled his eyes. How could people be so strong yet so dumb?“A lycan, roaming freely inside and out of the Westhund territory. A perfect open secret for more than twenty years. How could you do this to us?” The alpha asked.“Hold on Alpha Lorenzo.” The Head of the Council said, “Explain what you mean by implying that Alpha Westhund has a lycan.”Collette sighed out of frustration, questioning the relationship between the rogue and Selly was one thing. The young woman being a hybrid was the closest thing to the truth but insinuating that she was a lycan was unheard of. Raising his chin, Alpha Lorenzo said, his tone firm, “As far as we all know, lycans have long been extinct on this planet." He let the words sink in and proceeded,“These bigger than the average werewolf possess tremendous strength that far surpasses us.” He added, “But we're forgetting one thing here, we can't shift except during the full moon.”Domink, who had been listening carefully, wanted to

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   62: Questions

    The Alphas’ Council was a big, round building standing against a couple acres of land.Its floor polished to the highest quality to resemble the kind of visitors it received. Like any werewolf activities, it was not known to humans. Heavily guarded by strong shifters from every single pack making it hard for rogues to invade.Despite its grandeur and reputation, it was a recent establishment. Built during the time when werewolves started being targeted by unknown enemies.Before that time, packs oversaw their own matters. Creating alliances and enmity without being interfered.Things changed when most smaller packs were wiped off the face of earth, children were smuggled and female werewolves weren't conceiving normally. Either way there was an increase in wolfless and mate-less werewolves which forced alphas to sit and find a solution to save their kind.It wasn't easy to find a leader with a competition being as fierce as it could get. It was common knowledge to packs that whoever

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   61: A letter summon

    The feeling of being connected to one's mate in more than one way was foreign to Jordan. It felt like pieces of a puzzle coming together. Unmatched peace. Laying next to her on their bed made of hay, he felt complete. Finally, the longing and feeling of not being a good enough werewolf was gone.Watching her sleep peacefully while he propped himself on his elbow, he moved away the strands of brown hair from her face.She was spent after many rounds of good loving and he knew that was just a beginning.She would continue going through heat circles until he marked her. That was his theory. That was how it usually worked. Her marking him had been an initiative for him to be able to mark her, a half part of it all since his wolf was dormant. The rest, he would have to complete the process by marking her.How lucky was he? He thought. For most shifters, once a mate bond was broken, it was forever but somehow, he had the grace to continue where he left off.He wasn't sure whether it had t

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   60: Taking her

    Selly’s touch was sending him to heaven and back. He swore sanity was leaving him by the second. She was relentless. Merciless.“Help me.” She begged between kisses.The words hardly registered in Jordan's mind and he opened his eyes to meet her sultry amber ones.“I will.” He said as his lips clashed against her pink ones, savoring her taste as Selly reciprocated with greed.Parting her lips slightly, Jordan used the opportunity to explore her cavity, moaning at every crevice and contours.He couldn't help, Jordan was a moaner. Not stingy with appreciation when it was due. As much as he would have preferred their first time to be special, with flowers in bed and a candle at the side, he didn't have time for that.His mate needed him.Selly couldn't wait.The ever consuming fire she felt would only be quenched by his touch.Although it sounded overboard, she could actually die from trying to abstain. The pain she had felt was excruciating, her body couldn't withstand it. Prolongin
