2023-12-30 06:53:24I woke up with a splitting headache. What the heck happened?
"Oh Serene, I am so glad you’re awake. You gave us a scare," Mom says, rushing to my side.
She places a cup of water down and sits beside my bed.
"What happened?" I ask groggily.
"I don't know, Alpha Zander brought you unconscious. He said he found you in the bush unresponsive. The doctor said it might be a rogue attack. I am just glad you are okay," she hugs me.
Attacked?
My bedroom door opens again, my eyes meet hers, and that is when everything starts coming back.
Crystal and Alpha Zander.
They were kissing.
Him choosing her over me.
The rejection.
Averia's pain.
'Ria,' I called out to her.
'Yeah,' her weak voice responds.
'What is wrong? Are you okay?' I ask worriedly.
'I am trying to be strong for us. I am dying by any minute. I need mate,' she whimpers weakly.
'He rejected us, Ria,' I almost yelled at her. She whimpers in pain and retreats to the back of my head.
"Oh Serene, I am so glad you are okay," Crystal says and rushes to climb my bed.
She takes my hands into hers, and I immediately pull away as if she burned me.
She did burn me.
In the worst way possible.
"Don't touch me," I glared at her.
"Serene! Don't be rude to your little sister. You don't know how much she has cried for you," Mom scolds and walks into my bathroom.
"Did you tell them the truth?" she asks worriedly.
"How can I do that if I just woke up? You already know Mom is going to know her little daughter is a two-faced whore and mate stealer," I tell her.
"Don't call me that! I loved Zander way before he even became the Alpha. Don't pretend I didn't notice how you looked at him; I knew you also liked him, but I was too deep to let him go. I am sorry this happened, but nothing can be done about it," she says.
"A lot of things can be done about it. You can find your own mate and leave mine alone. You are so young, Crystal,it will be very odd for you to find before your 19th birthday!" I tell her.
"I can't, " she whispers.
"Why can't you?" I asked.
"I am sorry Serene but I can't, I am already carrying Zander's child," she says, and my face falls and my heart drops.
"What! What! How can you do that! Why will you do that to me ! Does Mom know about any of this? You are only 18 fucking years old." I asked,my voice was full of anger.
"No.. Keep your fucking voice down. Mom doesn't know about it, we were planning on telling them once your birthday was over and you weren't his mate. We didn't know this would happen! I know I am young but I love him and you won't stop me. My age is a rightful age to find a mate. A lot of wolves are married at my age." she says.
"Shut up, Crystal. I can't believe you are even my sister. You being my sister doesn't mean I forgive you. You hurt me so much. I hate that. You two are so horrible; you plan on sending me away!" I yell at her.
"Keep it down, Serene; Mom will hear you. I am sorry that this has to happen, but nothing could be done about it," she keeps on saying that.
"Why do you keep saying that?!" I shout in anger.
"Because Alpha and dad spoke this morning.Our wedding date has been set. We have already announced our engagement"she says and I feel like the walls are closing in on me.
My mom walks out of the bathroom with my dirty laundry.
"What..mom is it true. Is crystal getting married"I ask tears well up in my eyes
"Oh yes,I forgot to tell you that. Alpha Zander is her mate after all and we have already given them our blessings. The wedding will be on the next full moon. I can't believe it took hid wolf so long to figure out my youngest daughter is his mate"mom says and walks out with the laundry.
"I am sorry, Serene. You need to accept his rejection. I love him," my sister says and stands up, leaving me in a sobbing mess.
I can feel Ria wallowing in pain.
"I am so sorry I disappointed you, Ria," I whispered, and she responded with a whimper.
Later in the afternoon, the pack doctor came to check on me and said I was fine but would heal with time.
Something tells me he knows what is going on but has been made to keep quiet.
I didn't leave the room until 6 PM when my brother came to call me downstairs for dinner.
I stopped in my tracks when I spotted four foreigners in the room.
Alpha Zander, Beta Darius, Alpha Eli, and Luna Nara.
"Serene, my oh my, I am sorry for what happened. I hope those rogues are caught and dealt with," Luna Nara says and gives me a hug.
"Luna. Alpha Eli," I bow to them.
"Alpha and Luna are here to help us with the wedding preparation. We are going to be a family after all," Dad says, and they chuckle.
At that moment, I wish I hadn't raised my head.
Alpha Zander has his hands wrapped around my sister's waist, and she is hugging his side with her head on his torso.
"That is wonderful. I think I am going to go for a walk. The doctor said I need it," I tell them.
"Nonsense, you can go for a walk tomorrow," Mom says.
"Yes, sis, I need you here since you are going to be my maid of honor," my sister says with a sweet smile.
"Sure, why not," I went back to my seat, and the dinner began.
.
The following weeks were torture. I watched as my sister and Zander paraded around the village as if nothing happened. I always tried to keep Ria under control every time we were around him. He practically ignored our presence.
I sometimes wondered how he kept his wolf under control, or if he too was in love with Sansa, my sister's wolf. She found out on her 17th birthday. She was an early bloomer.
But today seals my fate. The night of the full moon is tonight, which means my sister's wedding is today.
The house has been quiet, but I stayed in my room. It is bad enough to watch your mate with another woman but also to stand by their side as they make a complete fool out of you.
That night, I watched them get married and perform the rituals. That night, I felt him mark her, and I nearly died.
A part of me was lost.

Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 63
Winter’s POVThe first rays of dawn crept through the curtains, casting pale stripes across the room. Tyron’s arm was draped heavily across my waist, pinning me like an anchor. His breathing was deep, steady—thank the goddess. For once, no jolts awake, no cursing at shadows, no sharp demand for space. He had let me stay when the nightmare had shaken him in the night. He hadn’t shoved me out. He hadn’t hardened himself back into that wall of stone he liked to hide behind.A small, unexplainable warmth lingered in my chest because of that. But the morning ahead demanded strategy, not softness.Slowly, carefully, I slid out from under his arm, his warmth trailing behind me as I pulled away. He didn’t stir, not even when the bed dipped with my weight lifting off it. Weeks ago, he would’ve caught me the second I moved, eyes blazing, jaw clenched, telling me to get out. Now… now he stayed asleep, letting me slip back into my own space.By the time I reached my room and changed into jeans an
Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 62
TyronNights had stopped being silent.When the nightmares ripped through me now, I didn’t wake up alone, shaking in the dark with my chest tight and my wolf clawing at me. Winter slipped in quietly at first, like she thought I might throw her out again. I used to. I used to snarl, to tell her to leave, to pretend that her presence only made the burn of the mate bond worse. But lately, I let her stay.She’d sit on the edge of the bed, whispering low until my breathing steadied, her fingers brushing through my hair like she was coaxing me back from the fire. Sometimes, I’d wake to her curled against me, her hand over my chest as if she could keep the nightmares from clawing their way out.It should’ve made me furious. Weak. Dependent. But instead, I found myself waiting for the sound of her steps on the stairs at night.And every time she came, I kissed her. Sometimes clumsy, sometimes desperate, sometimes slow and drawn out but always. I wanted her to link my recovery to her touch,
Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 61
TyronLater in the afternoon, I heard the front door of the main house open. Usually, it was followed by Aria’s giggles, or the hushed, lovey-dovey laughter that always gave away Casey and Louis.But today, there was none of that—only the sound of light, careful footsteps.I glanced at the clock on the wall. Three p.m. Exactly the time Casey returned home, always with either Aria or Louis at her side.From what I’ve gathered in the few weeks I’ve been living in this household, Casey is never allowed to be alone. Because of her past, her trauma. She suffers from mild PTSD, and sometimes selective mutism—barely speaking when there’s a crowd.Too weak to be Luna, if you ask me. If I were Louis, I’d have rejected her and chosen another she-wolf. Someone stronger. Someone fit to lead beside him. But I’m not Louis. Maybe she’s feistier than she lets on, hiding it beneath all that quiet.Either way, this is where my plan falls neatly into place.Casey has sympathy. She has empathy. She knows
Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 60
TyronI woke to the sound of my own ragged breathing.The room was too quiet, too still. The kind of quiet that gnawed on your nerves rather than soothed them. My pulse was still racing from what I’d seen, my chest heaving like I’d been ripped through fire and dropped back into this cage of a room.For a second I didn’t know where I was. The ceiling above me blurred, the faint light spilling in through the barred window cutting sharp lines across the floor. The Crescent Moon Pack’s generosity, they’d call it. To me, it was just another leash.But none of that compared to the chaos burning in my head.I’d seen my family. My father’s sneer, the sharp bark of his voice. My mother’s eyes, soft and wet with worry, the way she looked at me like she still believed I was the boy she used to hold. My little sister’s excitement, her arms reaching like she could somehow crawl through that magic and land in my lap.And then Isis.Her words hit me like a blade, deep and merciless.Carrying my chi

Casey's POVThe fabric shimmered under Serene's touch as she adjusted it on the mannequin, while Winter leaned closer with her pen, scribbling ideas into the sketchbook balanced on her lap. I stood a little to the side, turning a pendant of soft silver in my hands, my mind sketching invisible lines and stones that would match the dress Serene was building.It still amazed me. This-being here, in the middle of Serene's fashion house, treated as if I belonged. My designs no longer scraps on paper shoved under a mattress. No longer a silly dream whispered into the silence of an omega's quarters. No. Here, Winter leaned toward me, asking how a sapphire chain would fall against the neckline. Serene nodded at my suggestions as if they were worth something. I was no longer filth. I was Casey. A designer. A mate.And yet, even as I smiled at Winter, a part of me was tugged backward. To Louis. Always to him. To the night everything changed.FlashbackThe storm had raged outside the windows, ra
Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 58
Casey’s POV Louis always carried the weight of tomorrow on his shoulders.Even when he smiled, even when his hands brushed mine, steady and grounding, there was always that glint in his eyes—the reminder that he wasn’t just mine. He belonged to the pack. He was the future Alpha, heir to an entire legacy, trained to lead and protect. And yet, somehow, he still found a way to make me feel as if I were his whole world.I noticed it in the smallest things. The way he cut his training short just to walk me back from Serene’s fashion house. The way he’d slip his fingers through mine during council meetings, like he needed to remind himself that I was there, alive, beside him. Or the way he’d tilt his head, listening, even when warriors spoke around us, as though my opinion mattered just as much as theirs.Sometimes I caught myself staring at him during training sessions, when he was out in the field, sweat glistening across his chest, his body moving with the kind of precision only an Alph
