Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Wicked gleam
Langdon studied me. "I cannot fathom how he could let you go." He shook his head and spoke quietly. "If I had found the one for me..."His eyes took on a wistful expression, sad. "I would hold her and never let her go."My heart broke for him. He was physically strong, an Onyx Moon Enforcer, but he was still just a man that wanted to find love.I murmured, "I know you think she's gone because you haven't found her yet, but I don't believe that. You're a good wolf. The Moon gives good things to wolves like you."Truthfully, I believed my words. Langdon would one day meet his mate, which was another reason I had to say no. I'd been rejected once. I couldn't imagine getting involved with another wolf, only to have him find the one he was intended for, after the fact, and then kick me to the curb.Langdon was quiet for a long time, lost in his thoughts. Finally, he looked up. "We need a plan.""A plan?"He stood to his feet. "Yes. Let's go down and eat, and we can discuss it with my mothe
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Strategy
StrategyCoalI managed to crash for about an hour before heading it out. It wasn't much sleep, but at this point, every little bit helped.Ryder was already waiting for me in the truck, head reclined back, eyes closed. The snarling bass beat of some metal song pounded through the earbuds connected to his phone.There was no movement to his body. I wasn't sure he was even awake. Rather than startle him with my physical presence, I reached through our mind-link.I'm here.Yeah, I know. Came his reply.I opened the door and tossed my bag of extra clothes and supplies in the backseat next to his.Thankfully, I hadn't run into my father since his vile sentencing of Brinley, and I was just fine with that. I was still filled with rage and needed the car ride to get myself under control."Where are we headed?" I asked.Ryder replied without opening his eyes or lifting his head, "White Fang. Onyx Moon and the Druid Alphas will also be there."I gritted my teeth. Onyx Moon, that meant that wol
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. The pit of hell
The Pit of HellBrinleyI followed Langdon down to the basement....or the pit of hell, as I was coming to think of it.I hadn't known him very well when we began but had a sneaking suspicion he wasn't going to be easy on me, not at all.I had been right.Every day for the past seven days was proof.Langdon would coach me.I would attempt to bring him to his knees.And he would chuckle while knocking me on my ass, every time.Opening the door, Langdon motioned for me to go through first, a sly smirk on his face. I stepped inside and looked at the familiar surroundings. The basement was much larger than I'd first realized. It came complete with weights, exercise equipment, and a sparring ring.Langdon usually fought with his shirt on. Today was an exception. Pulling the garment over his head, he left his broad and toned chest visible to me.I might have only wanted Coal, but I wasn't blind or dead. I could appreciate Langdon's physique. As if I didn't already have enough to contend wit
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Sore but functional
I rolled my eyes again, almost losing them in my skull. "No, you horny hound dog, just letting me know you were 'intimate' with one of them would have sufficed.""And how should I have started that conversation?" he snorted. "Good morning, Brinley, I fucked someone yesterday. How was your night?"He had a point."I...I don't know," I growled and shook my head.His eyes softened. "You are adorable; truly, I love your innocence."I glowed a tiny bit under his praise, but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing it. Not now....maybe later.I stood to my feet, and huffed playfully, "Whatever. Now get off your ass and let's continue."Langdon did as ordered and began again, this time giving me instruction on roundhouse kicks, explaining the finer points of technique and also how to defend against it."Let's start with you, watching me do it, and learning the defensive side, and then we'll have you practice the strike."I nodded and positioned my body defensively.But, unfort
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Anxiety
Shifting into my wolf, I trotted home. When I reached my stash of clothing, I changed back to my skin, got dressed and continued to Lena's.It was a silly process of changing multiple times in the day since I was just going to get naked again when I returned the borrowed items from Lena, but I didn't want to alert Lena of Darcie's kindness, by providing clothing.When I reached the back porch of Lena's small home, I started to pull my shirt over my head when she stopped me, "Wait."I froze, wondering what she wanted. I kept my hair in my face, trying to cover the massive bruise on my cheek, but she never even looked up at me when she handed me a small list. "Go to the packhouse. Gather these items and return them to me."Oh no. The very last place I wanted to be was the packhouse.But there was no defying her orders. I kept my head down as I walked toward my dreaded destination. I had only made it halfway there when a very large wolf stopped directly in front of me, blocking my path.
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Don't calm me down
Don't Fucking Tell Me to Calm DownBrinleyLangdon quickly extracted his body away from mine and got to his feet, posture tense and defensive, feet apart, hands out and shoulders forward.Coal took a few more steps into the room and then stopped, his eyes darting between Langdon and back down to me on the floor.It seemed as if he was deciding which one of us to address first, and by address, I wasn't sure if that meant to speak or attack. The more likely attack, given his clenched fists and veins bulging in his neck, pulling against skin that looked too tight for his massive frame. A hard shudder went through him, his Wolf demanding to be free.Coal's repositioning allowed enough room for Darcie to slip around him. She stood at Langdon's side, ready to defend her son if Coal attacked.Coal eyed her carefully, assessing if she was a threat to him, and then refocused on me. I got up slowly to my feet, trying not to rattle Coal's Wolf anymore than he already was.Darcie spoke to me but
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Too much damage
Too Much DamageCoalI paced a living room I'd never been in before. After I'd seen Brinley's bruised cheek yesterday, I was shocked she thought she could tell me to leave it alone and I would agree. There was no way I was just going to let that go.I had one of the answers the instant I sniffed her. She'd tried to erase his scent, but I was so hyper-aware of her unique smell, that the slightest change or addition was noticeable. And I had caught it. Langdon.What I didn't understand was why.I didn't know that wolf, but from my brief interactions with him, I didn't think he would stoop so low as to cause her physical harm. He seemed more honorable than that. So, I masked my face, not letting her see that I knew. I didn't want her to give me a partial answer. I wanted the complete truth, which meant I would be following her the next morning.I waited in the shadows when she left, and kept a safe distance behind, out of eyesight, just following her scent. When I reached the large home,
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Read between the lines
Read Between the LinesBrinleyI turned back around to find Coal seated on the couch with his head in his hands. I didn't know what to say. Too much had happened, too much for me to process.Before I could even try to come up with something, Darcie strode through the door with Langdon right behind her, each carrying a tray of food.Coal's head snapped up.Shock coursed through me.His eyes were glistening....were those tears?Darcie's perceptive and sharp eyes glanced at me and then landed on Coal. He blinked a few times and stood to his feet. He maintained eye contact with her, never looking at me, his voice stiff and formal. "Thank you for the offer of lunch, but I have interrupted your day enough. It's time for me to leave."My heart clenched. Every fiber in my body rejected the thought of Coal leaving me. But I still had no idea what to say to him. The hurt was still so fresh and raw.Darcie tilted her head to the side as she stared up at him. Her voice rang with motherly authori
