Rejecting Fate Chapter 57: Never A Home to Me and Mine
[Josephine]The damp chill of the lower foundry seeped through the soles of my boots, but it was nothing compared to the ice in my chest.“Princess,” The larger of the two greeted first, then the second.I nodded in acknowledgement of them both. “It’s Luna now, boys.” I winked, implementing the charm that everyone in the Moors knew me by, yet feeling none of it.A chuckle escaped them, amused–as always by my charm. They had no idea I was here to see the weapon that was about to destroy us all.“I’d like to speak with the new ward if that’s alright with you. We have unfinished business.”A hint of reluctance fell across them, but only a hint before they let me through.After all, my father’s guards didn't dare challenge me as I passed through the heavy iron doors. Regardless of whether I was Colter’s Luna or not, I was still the Princess of the Moors; they assumed I was here to inspect the prize.Aurelia was sitting on a low wooden bench in the center of the cell. She wasn't chained, b
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 11: What's the Matter with Aure?
-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
Rejecting Fate Chapter 7: Earth to Aure!
-AURE-I thought we were supposed to talk. Wasn’t like it was a desire more so than a need. Although…I’d have been lying had I said that there was a bit of that involved as well. Still, though, it didn’t change the necessity of the conversation. We truly did need to talk. I just… I wanted to unde
Rejecting Fate Chapter 4: A Talk with Uncle Kenneth
-Colter-“Run it one more time! Then we’ll call it for the evening!”I could hear my uncle bellowing orders from halfway across the training field. He was always near some sort of training course as he was the Delta of Sno Wolf pack, and his whole life revolved around being prepared.I couldn’t help
Rejecting Fate Chapter 3: Who am I? Who are You?
-Aure-“Who are you?”Who was I? As I recalled the conversation that I had earlier with that nameless, mysterious and ridiculously handsome guy, I couldn’t believe how he so blatantly asked me that. But even more than that I couldn’t believe that I actually answered him.“Aurelia…Aurelia Smith,” I h
