Rejected Once, Now Claimed By The Lycan Bait in the Garden
"What if it were me? Think about it — we're the only two left in the pack house without fated mates. It just makes sense, doesn't it? So... what do you say, Alpha?" Elsie asked, her expression the picture of innocence."Excuse me?" Alpha Jackson could only stare at her, stunned into silence as he tried to process what she'd just said."I know it sounds strange, but hear me out — this solves both our problems. You had a fated mate and turned her away. No one else has been given to you since, which means the choice is yours to make now. And me? I never had a destined match to begin with. A chosen mate is the only option left for either of us. We need each other, Alpha." She pressed on, and he let out a laugh in response."You never cease to surprise me, Elsie." He rose from where he'd been sitting on her bed, ready to leave. "Shouldn't you be focused on getting better instead of hunting for a mate? Your mother tells me you've changed. Don't give me reason to doubt her word.""This has n

Clara stayed with Elsie for a few hours before finally taking her leave. Given how well the treatment seemed to be progressing, she felt certain Alpha Jackson would soon lift the restriction and let her daughter return to the pack house.From there, she went straight to his office — she had news about Bianca's recovery, and Elsie's condition to discuss."The hospital called me this morning, Alpha. Bianca's out of the coma. I saw it with my own eyes." Clara couldn't keep the joy from her voice."Wonderful news. When does she come home?" he asked."Tomorrow. I'll have a driver sent for her." He nodded, then waited, sensing there was more."There's also the matter of Elsie." The moment she said the name, Alpha Jackson exhaled. Conversations about Elsie were never short — especially not with Clara leading them.He sometimes wondered if every mother was built this way. After everything the girl had done, Clara still clung to the hope that she was changing, still ready to forgive."She's sh

"Samuel!"Clara's whole face was lit up as she called for him. He came out of the closet already dressed to train with the others."Bianca — she's awake."Samuel let out a breath he seemed to have been holding for days."We should go to her. Now," Clara said, and he nodded."Wait here. Let me put on something better." He ducked back into the closet and changed into a white shirt and blue jeans.The whole way to the hospital, Clara silently thanked the Moon Goddess for sparing the girl. It had been a brutal week — she'd prayed daily for Bianca's recovery, and not only out of guilt over what her own daughter had done. Bianca was a member of the pack. A maid, yes, but that made her no lesser than any other wolf. Every soul in that house, Alpha Jackson included, had been praying for her, and now, at last, those prayers had been answered."This way, please." The nurse led them back the moment they gave her name at reception.Bianca was sitting up when they entered, eating, a few nurses hov

*One Week Later*"I won't pretend otherwise, Sebastian — I miss Isabelle terribly." Ava laughed and rolled over to face him where he lay stretched beside her."Do you miss Edwin? He's your best friend." She tapped a finger to her chin. "Your *only* friend, if I'm honest.""Not in the slightest." Sebastian didn't miss a beat. "I've been looking at that man's face my entire life. It's a relief to finally get a break from it."Ava's jaw dropped."That's not *fair*. I'm sure Edwin misses you."Sebastian scoffed. "I can promise you he doesn't. The only reason he'd want me back is to hand me the workload. He's delighted you're gone, too — now he has Isabelle entirely to himself."He laughed, and when he turned to her, he found her watching him with a frown fixed firmly in place."What is it, my love?" He sat up, sensing danger."Is that what he says? That I take Isabelle away from him?" Ava's eyes narrowed. "Well. I'm perfectly glad to be away from *him*. He's forever stealing you off somew

Edgar was still seething long after the call ended.He hadn't believed Hannah would run to Janet so quickly. He'd counted on her fear — assumed she'd sooner die than confess their arrangement and ruin herself. Instead she had proven, plainly, that she valued her life above her reputation."What now, Your Grace?" one of his men asked, once he'd laid it all out for them.Edgar's face was heavy with defeat."We abort. For now." He ground the words out. "With a woman like Janet on our scent, we can't move. We lie low and we wait."They nodded. There was nothing else to do.***At the werewolf pack house, Clara was still waiting on word from the hospital about Bianca.The whole household moved carefully, quietly, everyone walking on eggshells — most of all around Alpha Jackson, Beta Samuel, and Clara herself. After her latest visit to the hospital, Clara went to find Jackson."Good to have you back, Clara." He looked up as she entered. "How was your stay at the Lycan palace?""Perfect. Exa

Hannah hurried straight for the queen's chambers, ignoring the stares that followed her down every corridor."Come in."She stepped inside. "Good day, Your Highness." Her hands worked against her own arms."What is it, Hannah? You look shaken.""It's King Edgar."That took Janet's full attention at once. With Edgar loose somewhere near the palace, anything touching his whereabouts was worth its weight in gold."What about him?"Hannah drew a breath to steady herself."He called me a few minutes ago. He ordered me to abduct you."Janet's brow lifted."You're one of his spies.""No, Your Grace—" Hannah shook her head fast. "As head maid I've always served every member of the royal family. You all have my number. He simply called and threatened me — said I'd die if I refused."It was a lie, and she told it because the truth would end her. If she wanted Janet's protection she needed Janet's goodwill, and confessing to ten years of espionage would earn her a noose, not a shield.Janet look
