Masuk“I, Castiel Vexthorn, hereby reject you…” His voice cut through the room like a blade, each word dripping with venom. “What is your name?” He didn’t even know my name. The humiliation hit harder than the rejection itself. I met his gaze—those cold, storm-gray eyes that seemed carved from granite. “Estelle Frost.” I kept my voice steady, refusing to let him see me falter. “I reject you, Estelle Frost!” His words thundered in the air, the weight of the mate bond snapping inside me like a brittle twig. **** They called him a cursed king. He called her a mistake. A weakness. When pack healer Estelle Frost accompanies her Alpha to a summit of Alphas, she expects nothing more than long hours tending to warriors and ignoring the sting of her fiancé’s betrayal. One night. One drink too many. One bed she should never have fallen into… and she wakes beside Castiel Alaric Vexthorn, the feared Alpha King who despises humans. The next morning, he discovers she is his fated mate and rejects her without mercy. But fate is not so easily severed. Because weeks later, Estelle learns she’s carrying the heirs of the very man who swore he’d never want her. And the cursed Alpha King will burn the world to claim what he’s just thrown away. *** “I should hate you, Dove. Heck, I want to but…” His storm gray eyes looked into mine and slowly, ever slowly, he leaned closer and captured my lips. I gasped, my hands flying to hold onto his broad chest. He seized the moment to slide his tongue through my lips and I let out a tiny moan. The kiss wasn't gentle. It was demanding. Possessive and filled with want.

I resumed duty the morning after the incident and have kept myself busy throughout, unwilling to let myself think of my miserable losses. To let myself drown in self pity. Lina already withdrew from the hospital and I didn't know if I should be grateful for that or awful for making her leave. And Mike? He left. Although, he tried to reach me but I ensured that there was no way he could do that.I already moved on… I am moving on. I knew people noticed that there was no longer a ring on my finger and I was glad nobody bothered to ask me about it. Ironic, right?Maybe they were all just waiting for me to see through the fog of stupid love I had for him. To see he was nothing but a bloody cheat! A scum like the rest of Adam. Tonight, I was not on duty and Brielle had gone to the bar where she worked part time. I didn't want to be alone so I was kind of happy when Darius invited me over to his

Apparently, the Alphas Summit was already over and he had been searching for me. Since I was human, there was no way he could mindlink me and from my side view, I could see Fato looking apologetic. “I’m sorry, Darius… I—”“No, Estelle. Apology not accepted.” He cut me off. “Did you know how worried I was about you? This is a foreign pack. A pack that was just recently attacked. Who knows if there are still underlying threats around and all you did was wander around till I couldn't find you?” His words were laced with the worry and something like fear he was feeling. My heart constricted in my chest. I shouldn't have gone to the bar. I shouldn't have caused Darius to worry over me. “And Fato? Fato will definitely be punished for letting you out of his sight!” He gritted out. “No! I was the one who slipped away from him. I just needed to look a
E S T E L L E’S P O VA painful whimper escaped my mouth as I rolled over on the soft structure I lay on. I didn't want to wake up. I didn't know why but I wanted to stay. I wanted to remain unconscious. Somehow, sleep eluded me and I opened my eyes. Instant regret caught me by the throat because my head began to pound hard as I took in my surroundings. Fuck!Where was I? Panic mixed with the constant banging on my forehead and I stopped short, catching sight of the man who lay peacefully besides me. Who is he? And how did he— I glanced down at my body covered by the sheets and a gasp erupted from me. What happened? The memories of last night came flooding through my mind. This man…“You are mine for tonight,” He murmured against my skin, his hot breath fanning my face as he lay me on the bed. I didn't know if it was the effect of the alcohol I had but my core throbbed hard as he towered above me. He began to unbutton his shirt but it was taken slow so I reached up and started to
E S T E L L E ‘ S P O V The car hummed along the winding road, the low growl of the engine filling the silence. My Alpha, Darius, sat beside me in the passenger seat, scrolling through his phone, his expression unreadable. He had insisted that his Beta, Cavil, stayed behind in case there was an attack on the pack. I knew how difficult it was for him to leave his pack like this. Darius had been the closest thing to a friend and a brother that I had and it hurt me to see him in such discomfort. Apparently, there has been some incessant attacks on other packs and since the packs here in the western parts have gotten into an aliiance— it demanded that Alphas were to be present when a pack get attacked. That was why we were heading for the Alphas Summit. The other two warriors in the back spoke in hushed tones, their voices blurring into background noise. Darius had insisted that he didn't need them but Cavil refused to let his Alpha go to a pack that had just been attacked alone an
