-Colter-

Ever since the rejection, there’d been a miserable pinch in the pit of my stomach.

This feeling was new to me, and in ways far more miserable than I could have imagined.

“Hey baby,” the melodic voice of my chosen whispered in my ear as she lay next to me in bed.

Normally, Jose would have been a welcome distraction to any one or one hundred things that had been on my mind. This time, however, I found Josephine’s presence…complicated.

“Are you alright?” she whispered in my ear. “I can te

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 56: An Alpha Beyond Reason

    [JOSEPHINE]The scent of dry cedar and centuries of tradition filled Alpha Mason’s private study in the upper levels of the foundry. When the heavy iron-bound door clicked open, my father didn't even look up from the sprawling map of the Moorlands laid across his desk. "I told the guards I was not to be disturbed until—" He cut himself off, his dark eyes widening in genuine, pleasant surprise as he recognized the figure standing in the doorway. "Josephine."A rare, warm smile broke across the Alpha’s hardened features. He stepped out from behind the desk, extending a hand to me."My dear girl. I didn't expect you back from the Sno pack house so soon. Though I must say, your timing is immaculate." Father’s voice rumbled with an infectious, triumphant energy. He was clearly excited about something, and I already knew what it was."You are just in time to witness the dawn of a new era for our bloodline."Despite my newfound frustrations with my father’s probable plans, I still loved h

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 55: A True Blood's Reclamation

    -Josephine-I have spent my entire life studying the threads that bind our kind together. I know the ancient scripts of the Moors by heart. I know the weight of a bloodline and the absolute finality of a Rejection. A bond, once severed, is supposed to be a dead nerve. It is the one mercy the Moon Goddess allows us—to walk away from a mistake and start over.Or so I told myself while I stood in the shadow of the corridor, the cold stone of the pack house pressing against my back.As I overheard my chosen confide in his best friend, I began to realize that everything that I knew was wrong.“It shouldn’t be possible, Mads,” Colter’s voice drifted through the heavy oak door of the study. It was raw, stripped of the Alpha authority he usually wore like armor. “I felt it. It didn’t just whisper; it roared. Every instinct I have—every part of the wolf—is screaming that she’s in pain. That she needs me. And every ounce of my being needs to go to her.”“Colt, you rejected her.” Madison’s vo

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 54: She Calls Will You Answer?

    -COLTER-The days had been spent gathering intel on the Moors, but Josephine’s father had things locked tighter than ever.It was clear that he didn’t want anyone in on what he had going on. “I’m sure she’s safe, Colter,” said Josephine. “My father wouldn’t see harm to one of the original bloodline. She’s far too important.”I tried to focus on what Josephine was saying, but there was an ache in my chest, and a pulsing in my head that I couldn’t ignore. I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling, but I knew there was something to it.“Colter, are you even listening to me?” I cut my gaze to my chosen. “I heard your sad attempt at reassurance, Josephine,” I murmured, pinching the bridge of my nose to relieve the pressure.“Sad attempt?” she snapped back with defiance. “You really believe my father would hurt someone as important as she?”“I wouldn’t put it past him.” “Colter!” Josephine chided angrily. “I told you, she is far too important to-”“Is she?” I hissed. “Because you’re strang

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 53: A Call for Help

    [AURELIA]‘What was that?’One moment I was at that door, wondering who was standing outside of that door, whispering incoherently. I lifted my hand to knock, to see what would happen if I made my presence known to them. Sure, they’d already known I was there. Why else would they have been outside the door.But were they aware that I was cognizant? I wasn’t sure, but I was about to find out. When I suddenly felt it. Something that shut me down in that moment before I made my move. It was a sensation that galvanized me now.A shockwave of pure, undiluted pain ripped through my chest, a sudden, crushing emptiness that stole my breath. And I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was connected to mom.It felt like a tether. There was a strong connection between my mother and I. There always had been.I’d always chalked it up to a pure mother-daughter bond, made stronger by the shared loss of someone we truly love; my dad.But this…this was something different. It was a tether made visibl

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 52: The Power of the Moors

    -Colter-The Sno Wolf Pack’s private meeting room was a stage for a slow-motion disaster. I leaned against the heavy stone fireplace, my fingers digging into the cold mantelpiece, desperate to channel my agitation somewhere, anywhere, but at my father.Luna Charis stood before my father, a frail, fierce silhouette. Her voice was thin, but the fury behind it was sharp enough to draw blood.“You tell me you will ‘take care of this,’ Alpha Connor, but every minute my daughter is with Mason, you only sink deeper into his web,” she clipped, her eyes burning into his. “You talk of diplomatic solutions and political balance, but you are not a powerful Alpha right now. You are nothing more than a pawn being maneuvered by the Moors.”My father’s jaw tightened. He never tolerated insolence, but this was Charis—the mother of the girl I couldn't stop thinking about—a rarity, an Original Luna. He held his tongue, but his silence was a growing storm.It was Kenneth, my uncle and our Delta, who inter

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 51: Enduring the First Night

    -AURE-The door to the Alpha’s quarters closed with a heavy thud. I winced at the sound that echoed through the torchlit chamber. It was like a final sentence to our conversation.Alpha Mason was gone, leaving me alone in a room that was like a carefully crafted cage. It was a prison wrapped in slick stone and gold and accents. His lingering scent, a mix of pine and dominance, still lingered in the air, a consistent reminder of my predicament.Silence descended, and it was heavy and absolutely suffocating. I took a deep, shaky breath, the furious adrenaline of our confrontation ebbing away. It left a cold pit of dread in my stomach. The fear for my mother, so carefully hidden during our exchange, now threatened to overwhelm me. Fragile. Alone. His words were a venomous echo in my mind. He hadn't just taken me; he had taken the one thing I valued most and dangled it just out of my reach. My mother’s safety, my very freedom, were now tied to his whim.This is a trap for something mo

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 30: A Demand of Rejection

    -Aure- I knew that mom would be disappointed if I’d come home early that night. She wasn’t asleep yet, as it seemed that in me deciding to go spend a night on the town gave her her second wind that evening. Mom hadn’t been that lively since my return home. I didn’t have it in me to tell her that e

    -Aure-Alpha? Of the Moors? “Moors?” I emphasized the word after she confessed this. What on earth was I supposed to do with this information?“Yes, Aure,” she said. “You heard me correctly. It’s a wolf pack that lives deep in the Moors, a place quite majestic in its way.”“Mom, you’ve got to be kid

    The hunting hour was close, and I was so glad for it. I needed the break, from everyone and everything. My thoughts were still in a whirlwind from that day when I saw her. I was glad that Josephine had gone home to visit her father because being around her seemed to only make me feel worse about th

    -Aure-I’d been on the phone with Mom for what felt like hours, my mind wandering as she talked about her day at the office. The usual stuff: a particularly difficult client, a coworker who’d spilled coffee on her new blouse. I tried to focus, to sound engaged, but my thoughts kept drifting back to
