The file lay open before me, untouched.

My gaze rested on the numbers.

My mind—elsewhere.

Again.

I exhaled slowly, leaning back into my chair, the leather creaking faintly beneath the shift of my weight. My fingers tapped once against the desk before stilling altogether.

Focus.

I had work.

Important work.

Yet all I could see—

was her.

Standing in my office.

Looking at me like she was trying not to.

Speaking like she had something to prove.

And then—

him.

That man.

Opening the door for her.

  • Rejected by my cursed alpha mate   Do you really not care?

    The ride back was quieter than it should have been.Not silent—no, the hum of the engine filled the space, tyres gliding over familiar pack roads—but there was something unspoken sitting between the three of us. Something heavy. Something that had followed us from the chaos of the carnival and refused to leave.I sat in the backseat, my fingers still faintly trembling despite how tightly I tried to lace them together in my lap. Clair sat beside me, unusually subdued, her earlier lightness replaced by a thoughtful stillness. Up front, Jayden drove, his posture rigid, shoulders squared as though he carried the weight of more than just the steering wheel.My phone buzzed.The sound cut through the quiet like a thread snapping.I blinked, startled, before fumbling to pull it out of my bag. The moment I saw the name flashing on the screen, something inside me eased.“Tess,” I breathed, answering immediately. “Hey—”“How are you?!” she burst out, her voice loud, rushed, and brimming with wo

  • Rejected by my cursed alpha mate   Please be safe

    He exhales sharply, the sound rough, restrained, like he is holding back far more than he is willing to show.His hands move to his hips, fingers pressing into the fabric of his clothes as he tilts his head slightly back, dragging in a slow breath as though trying to gather himself.“It is dangerous,” he says finally, his voice lower now, controlled—but no less intense. “For you to be out like this. Unguarded. At least not while you are still tied to—”“The mate bond?”I cut through him before he can finish.My hand rises to my chest, pressing flat against my heart as if I can physically contain the chaos within it.“Yeah,” I say, a hollow, self-deprecating chuckle slipping past my lips. “That.”His eyes darken.A storm gathers there—quiet, brewing, dangerous.“Not everything,” he says slowly, each word deliberate, “is as shallow as you insist on making it.”I let out a sharp breath, shaking my head.“Maybe,” he continues, his voice tightening, “you should start by not thinking so low

  • Rejected by my cursed alpha mate   Why did you come?

    My skin still hummed where his arms had wrapped around me.Even after he loosened his hold, the warmth lingered—like a brand I could not see but felt everywhere.A sharp, deliberate sound cut through it.Jayden cleared his throat.The moment snapped.I turned slightly, my breath still uneven, to find him standing a few feet away, looking anywhere but at us. His posture was stiff, his expression carefully neutral—but there was something else there too. Discomfort. Awareness. Restraint.“We should probably leave,” he said, his voice carrying an awkward weight that didn’t belong to him.I swallowed, nodding faintly.But he did not let go.The hand still cupping my face remained there, firm, unyielding. His gaze didn’t shift—not to Jayden, not to the chaos still unfolding around us. It stayed locked on me, as though everything else had ceased to exist.My heart stumbled.I placed my palm against his chest—hesitant, almost unsure—and pushed, just a little.He didn’t move.Instead, without

  • Rejected by my cursed alpha mate   Massacre

    Everything happens at once.One moment I am standing—breath caught somewhere between disbelief and awakening—And the next—my body moves.Not with hesitation.Not with thought.But with a force so swift it startles even me.The world blurs.The child is there—frozen, trembling, her tiny frame locked in terror as the wolf lunges.And then—I am there.I don’t remember crossing the distance.Only the impact of air rushing past me, the sudden weight in my arms as I scoop her up, and the violent roll across the ground as the wolf crashes into the tree where she once stood.The bark splinters.The sound echoes.But I am already moving.I pull the child away from my chest, my hands firm yet gentle as I push her beneath the cover of a half-collapsed stall.“Are you alright?” I ask, my voice sharper than I intend.She nods quickly, her eyes wide—far too wide for someone her age.And then—she points.Over my shoulder.Something in her expression makes my spine stiffen.I turn.Slowly.And th

  • Rejected by my cursed alpha mate   Rise

    I don’t realise when I stop walking.Or when the noise of the carnival fades—not because it quiets, but because something else begins to speak louder.The stall stands apart.Not abandoned, not hidden—just… untouched by the chaos around it.Amber lanterns sway gently from carved wooden beams, their light softened through thin muslin cloth, casting shadows that seem to move even when nothing does. Strings of dried herbs hang in careful clusters—lavender, sage, night-blooming petals I cannot name—each releasing a faint, grounding scent into the air.Small glass vials line the shelves, filled with crushed pigments, oils, and powders that shimmer faintly under the dim glow. At the centre rests a low table, its wood darkened with age, its surface etched with symbols so fine they almost escape the eye—until they don’t.And beside it—a gilded cage.Within, a parrot sits unnervingly still.Watching.Not restless.Not trapped.Aware.Tarot readers, I know, are rarely ordinary. Most are born o
