~ Doris ~

The moment I stepped through the back doors of the grand hall, the whole world seemed to stop.

Hundreds of eyes turned toward me at once.

The lanterns overhead cast warm golden light across the long rows of seats, but right now it felt like every single bulb was shining straight on me.

The air smelled of fresh flowers. Soft music played in the background, but even that faded as the murmuring started.

Shock.

I saw it on every face.

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 57

    The classroom door burst open with a loud bang.A guy rushed in, eyes wild, knife flashing in his hand. He ran straight at me, face twisted with rage. Students screamed immediately and chairs scraped back. The teacher shouted something I didn’t really catch.I didn’t think.I lifted my hand.The golden glow flared across my palm. I pushed forward with everything I had. The force slammed into the guy’s chest like an invisible wall. He flew backward, feet leaving the floor, and crashed hard against the back wall. The knife clattered to the ground. He slid down, gasping, trying to push himself up. Before he could stand, Blade was there.Blade moved faster than I had ever seen him. He grabbed the guy by the collar, slammed him back down, and pinned him to the floor with a knee on his chest. His hand came down hard on the side of the guy’s head, not enough to knock him out, but enough to make him groan.“Why?” Blade growled, voice low and dangerous.

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 56

    Blade waited by the black SUV, leaning against the door with his arms crossed. He wore a simple black shirt and dark jeans, but he still looked every bit the Beta. When he saw me, he straightened and gave a small, respectful nod.“Morning, Luna,” he said, voice steady. “Ready?”I nodded, adjusting the strap of my school bag on my shoulder. Ryder had already kissed me goodbye inside, his hands lingering on my waist like he didn’t want to let go. “Be safe,” he had whispered. “Blade will stay with you the whole day.”Blade opened the back door for me. I slid in, and he took the driver’s seat. The engine purred to life, and we pulled away from the pack house, the tall gates closing behind us.The ride to school was quiet at first. The road wound through the pack territory, trees flashing past the windows. I watched the scenery, my mind still replaying last night and the mark on my neck that still tingled under my collar.Blade glanced at

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 55

    Morning light slipped through the heavy curtains. I woke slowly, my body was heavy and sore in the best way. Every muscle ached from the fight, from the victory, and from the way Ryder had taken me last night until I couldn’t think of anything but him.I was still naked under the sheets, skin warm from his body heat. Ryder lay beside me, propped on one elbow, watching me with that soft, intense look that always made my stomach flutter. His hair was messy, his jaw shadowed with stubble, and the sheet had slipped low on his hips, showing the hard lines of his chest and the faint scratches I had left on his skin during our sweet night.I blushed just thinking about it.He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead.“Good morning, my beautiful Luna,” he murmured, voice still rough from sleep. He kissed my nose, then my cheek, then the corner of my mouth. “My strong, brave girl. My everything.”I smiled, still half-asleep, and turned into him. His

    The car barely stopped before Ryder yanked the door open. He didn’t wait for the driver—he just scooped me up, my torn white gown bunched around my waist, my bare skin pressing against his half-open shirt. My legs wrapped around his hips instinctively, and his mouth was already on mine, hungry and rough, as he carried me up the front steps.Ms. D and two maids stood at the entrance, eyes wide, mouths open to greet us.“Welcome home, Luna—” One of the maids started.Ryder didn’t slow down. He didn’t even look at them. He kicked the door wider with his foot and carried me straight through the stairs, my back bumping the wall once as he turned toward the stairs.I heard Ms. D’s soft gasp and the maids’ surprised murmurs, but neither of us cared. Ryder’s hands gripped my ass hard, fingers digging in as he took the stairs two at a time. My fingers twisted in his hair, pulling his mouth back to mine. We kissed like we were starving, tongues sliding, teeth ni

    Chapter 53The car rolled down the quiet road. Ryder sat beside me in the back seat, his hand rested on my thigh, thumb tracing slow circles over the silk. The heat of his touch burned straight through the fabric and into my skin.My body felt alive in a way it never had before. The victory, the cheers, the way he had kissed me on stage in front of everyone — it all mixed into something hot and restless inside me. I shifted closer, my knee brushing his.My voice came out soft, almost shy, but the words were clear.“I need you right now,” I whispered.Ryder’s breath caught. His hand tightened on my thigh. For a second he just looked at me, eyes dark with the same hunger I felt. He leaned in and kissed my temple, then my cheek, then the corner of my mouth.“We should get home first,” he whispered against my skin, voice low and rough. “Don’t you want to get home first?”I shook my head, my breath already coming faster. “No.”The word came

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 52

    I shook off the dizziness. This was my moment, and I wouldn’t let anything take it from me.The referee’s voice still echoed in my ears.“The winner of the final round is Luna Doris of Moon Pack!”For a second, the entire arena went silent. Then the cheers exploded.Moon Pack members shot to their feet first. Their voices crashed over me like a wave.“Doris!”“Luna Doris!”“Moon Pack! Moon Pack!”Flags waved wildly. People clapped so hard their hands must have stung. Some of the older wolves who had once whispered behind my back now stood with tears in their eyes, shouting my name like they had always believed in me. Children jumped on their parents’ shoulders, pointing and cheering. Even wolves from the other packs joined in, nodding with respect, clapping along.I stood in the middle of the circle, chest heaving, blood on my garment. The garment was torn in places from the shift, but I didn’t care. I felt seen, recognized. Not judged o
