LOGIN“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.
View MoreESTELLE’S POVMy water closet made a flushing sound as I slid the lid over it. I clenched my stomach, my rib aching for the umpteeth time. This was fifth time I would be vomiting today. Initially I thought it was because of the food I have been stuffing into my body for the past few weeks since I ended my engagement with Mike but looking at it now, I believe it was more than that.Maybe some illness. Although to be on safer side, I got some pregnancy test stripe to confirm myself and I won't lie, I am scared. Why if it comes out pregnant? What was I going to do?Returning into my room, I picked up my cell phone and checked for any messages from the hospital but none came in. Nancy had told me to get some rest when she saw the stress written all over me. I tried to insist but Nancy being the mother hen refused, so here I am, in my apartment. I would have loved to visit Brielle but she went to visit her fiance’s family so I am left here alone. Checking the time, it was enough to see t
CASTIEL’S POVCinnamon with a mix of honeysuckle. Her overwhelming scent still clouded my senses, thick and unrelenting. It was like my beast had refused to let go of that single whiff he has of her. He clung to it like a curse. I had smelled her that night and convinced myself it was nothing more than pent-up desire, the consequence of not bedding a female for far too long. I was wrong. What had drawn me to her wasn’t lust.I didn't know what actually attracted me to her was the fact that she was my mate. Not even any species. Human. She was human. My second chance mate was human. When the realization hit, all I saw was red. Red—the color of blood pool my first mate was lying when I found her after some human gang has attacked us at home. They did not only killed her, they raped and used her until they slit her throat like she was nothing. The image burned behind my eyes, vivid and unforgiving.I rejected her without hesitation. I wanted nothing to do with that race. I could wor
ESTELLE’S POVThe following week passed by in a blur. I hardly made sense of anything I did. 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
E S T E L L E’S P O VDarius’s eyes flickered to me the moment I went to meet him by the car. Relief washed through his face when he saw me. 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
