Chapter 4

Auteur: Cheeseburger
The day I left to go to the Dawn pack, the Full Moon Festival arrived as scheduled.

Standing by the bonfire, Harvey looked down at me with a blank expression. "Giselle, I'm going to ask Peggy to be my dance partner tonight."

I knew why he was speaking to me in such a cold, distant tone. He was afraid I'd fail to take the hint and cling to him as I used to when we were children.

"I hope you two have a good time," I said indifferently.

Harvey was caught off warrior for a moment.

Dean glanced at me, looking like he was about to say something, but I spoke before he could. "Dean, whoever you choose as your dance partner is up to you. You don't need to tell me."

Dean's brows drew together. His eyes were filled with emotions I couldn't quite read. There was confusion and perhaps even a hint of indignation.

Without looking at them, I went back to my room, closed the door, and started packing.

I had lived in that house for 15 years, and my room was filled with gifts from Dean and Harvey.

My eyes swept over each item before finally settling on the dreamcatcher hanging by the window.

After my parents died, I had nightmares almost every night. I would wake up drenched in sweat from fear.

Back then, Dean and Harvey still cared deeply about me. Whenever I woke from a nightmare, Dean would wipe me down with a warm towel, while Harvey clumsily taught himself to weave and made the dreamcatcher for me.

I'd once said that I would take it with me wherever I went.

But now, everything had changed. They didn't care when I was hurting or whether I had nightmares anymore. The dreamcatcher no longer meant anything to me.

I walked over to the window, took it down, and threw it into the trash. Then, I left the room, walked downstairs, and headed straight out of the house.

I wanted nothing to do with Dean or Harvey anymore. I didn't want to stay there for another second.

I climbed into the carriage that would take me to the Dawn pack and took one last look at my home.

This time, I truly wasn't coming back.

  • Rejected Omega: Becoming the Savage Alpha's Mate   Chapter 8

    The full moon hung high overhead, casting its bright light over the ceremonial grounds of the Dawn pack. Sawyer and I stood facing each other at the center of the altar for our mating ceremony, as the Alpha and the rest of the pack looked on. Sawyer lowered his head and gently bit my nape with his fangs. From that moment on, we were bound together forever, body and soul. The Alpha then led us through our vows. Sawyer and I promised to stay together through sickness and health, for richer and poorer, and stand by each other through life and death. After the ceremony, we returned to the manor. That night was our mating night. Only by consummating the bond could our souls fully unite, making us true mates. I sat on the edge of the bed, unable to hide how nervous I was. Sawyer, on the other hand, seemed perfectly at ease. He poured himself a glass of red wine and came over to me. I reached out and took it from him. "Don't be nervous," Sawyer said softly. "If you're not re

    After I moved into Aslan Manor, Sawyer made sure I had everything I needed within just a few days.The walk-in closet was filled with beautiful dresses he had personally chosen for me, and the vanity was covered in expensive jewelry."Giselle, you deserve every good thing in the world," Sawyer said lovingly.The maids at the manor treated me with nothing but respect. They never looked down on me for being from the Snowmoon pack. I knew it was all because of Sawyer.One afternoon, I was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window when Audrey Hatley, one of the more cheerful maids, brought me afternoon tea."Ms. Rose, you look just like the girl in that painting in the study. But actually, you're a hundred times prettier than her."I was puzzled. "What painting?"Audrey immediately covered her mouth. "N-Nothing… I'm sorry, Ms. Rose. I shouldn't have said anything."She hurriedly set down the tea and left the room without another word.Sawyer had given me free rein to go anywhere in t

    Sawyer reached over and opened the drawer of the nightstand. His brows drew together. I could tell he was in pain."Do you remember this?" He pulled a red velvet box from the drawer and opened it. Inside lay a necklace. Moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the pendant. It was a crest depicting a moon wrapped in thorns, the symbol of my mother's fallen pack.The sight of it unlocked a memory I had buried for years.17 years ago, during a brutal, once-in-a-century blizzard. I went hunting for food with my father.On our way home, I spotted a dying rogue wolf buried under knee-deep snow.My father dug him out and carried him to the campfire. I kept dipping my finger in water and gently rubbing it over his cracked lips.Half an hour later, he finally woke up.Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw my father and me. Then, he bared his fangs and growled. "Did he send you two to kill me as well?""We're from the Snowmoon pack," I explained gentl

    The Dawn pack was located high up in the snowy mountains, where the terrain was harsh and treacherous. Just getting there took a full day.Sitting inside the carriage, I noticed the sky growing dark. It looked like a blizzard was on its way.We were passing through a dense forest known for its heavy fog. If we didn't make it out before the snow started, we could easily lose our way and get trapped inside.But I never expected a few men with pale skin and sharp fangs to appear before the blizzard struck. They stood several steps away, their red eyes fixed on the convoy.It was a vampire ambush.I gritted my teeth and tightened my grip on the silver blade I carried for self-defense. I was ready to cut through my cumbersome wedding dress if I had to fight.But the danger I expected never came.When I opened my eyes, a black wolf was standing in front of the carriage. It was huge and powerfully built, with jet-black fur. It let out a warning growl at the vampires.Then, in a flash,

  • Rejected Omega: Becoming the Savage Alpha's Mate   Chapter 3

    That night, I dreamed about the day my father died again.He had taken a silver dagger from a vampire to save Dean and Harvey. With his dying breath, he had pleaded with them, "After I'm gone, Giselle will have no one left to rely on. Please, you have to protect her."I woke up with a start. My forehead was covered in cold sweat. It took me a long time to finally calm down.The next morning, when I went to the dining room for breakfast, Peggy was already there.I noticed the red marks on her neck, but I pretended not to see them.Peggy smiled and walked toward me. "How about we make a bet? Let's see whether the twins will choose you or me."I furrowed my brows, not wanting to talk to her at all. Before I could walk away, she suddenly picked up her cup and poured the hot coffee over her head.Harvey heard her scream and rushed over.When he saw her wet hair and tearful eyes, he instinctively shoved me away. His strength sent me stumbling backward, and I fell hard onto the floo
