-Colter-

The crunch of my boots on the fallen leaves was the only sound accompanying me as I wandered around the edge of our territory. After I left the quarry, I couldn’t bring myself to go back home. Not just yet.

There was a lot on my mind. Thoughts quarreling between two drastically different women in my life. Both whose undeniable beauty was only matched by the fierce independence.

However, there was one who had been on my mind more often than not lately.

Aurelia.

Her scent, sharp and wil

  • 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 50: Mason's Offer

    -AURE-"Well, now," Mason's voice, surprisingly smooth and devoid of the aggression from moments before, reached me from directly in front of me. "That wasn't so difficult, was it?"The rough fabric of the sack scraped against my face as I was unceremoniously dropped, the impact jarring my teeth. Before I could even gasp for breath, it was yanked away, revealing the flickering golden light of what appeared to be a torchlit chamber.Ruffled and irate, I shifted slightly, “I offered to come freely. You didn’t have to cover my head and carry me.”My vision swam for a moment, then snapped into focus. This wasn’t a dungeon. This was….opulence. The air, thick with the scent of aged wood and rich earth, hinted at deep roots. Tapestries depicting ancient battles adorned the stone walls, and furs softened the hard-packed floor. I was in the Alpha’s quarters.I scrambled backward, my back hitting a solid oak desk, my wolf snarling in my chest. Fear was a cold ribbon, yes, but it was quickly ove

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 9: Meeting with the Moors

    -Colter-The early morning sun painted the forest in hues of gold and amber, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to whisper secrets of the ancient woods.I stood there at the checkpoint, my gaze sweeping over the weary pack, their fur damp with dew and some with eyes still heavy with sleep. T

  • Rejecting Fate   Chapter 8: Madi's New Friend

    -Colter-There was a lot on my mind as I stared out into the horizon. It was about time to leave for our journey but my best friend and second in command was nowhere to be found. Probably that new friend of hers that she had been going on about for the last week. In all my short years, I had never

  • 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 6: A Tough Call to Make

    -Colter-Kenneth stared at me blankly, and though I wasn’t looking directly at him, I could feel his eyes boring into the back of my head. It was unnerving.“I wish you would stop staring like that,” I finally said, turning my head slightly.“I…I’m sorry, nephew,” Kenneth replied, a strange hesitati
