The sleek black car pulled to a smooth stop at the base of the pack house’s grand front drive. Lights shone from every window, and the distant sound of music and laughter floated on the cold night air.

The back passenger door opened and Wanni stepped out looking elegant in a tailored navy gown, with a small silver clutch in her hand. She looked every inch like a respected guest.

She leaned down slightly and spoke to the shadow still inside the car. “I hope you still remember where you said you

  • THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION    CHAPTER 249

    ANDRE POVI remained standing outside Willow’s door after Drake had left. The silence aronnd me in the hall was hollow and deafening.My mind replayed it all—the battles with Drake, the tension, the silent rivalry over Lillian. We had almost torn the pack apart because of the mate bond. Because she was supposed to be mine. I had fought so hard to claim her, to prove I was the worthy one.And now….now that finally, she was mine, the Moon Goddess had sent a complication. A twist. Was it a test? Or was it a sign?A horrible thought seeped into my mind….what of Lillian was never meant to be mine in the first place? What is all that fighting was for a price that was never truly mine to keep?The idea made my chest ache with a different kind of guilt. I pushed the door open and went back inside.Willow was standing by the window, staring out at the dark grounds. She looked small and lost. She stirred when I entered, and turned to look at me. Her eyes were dry now, but hollow.“For a long ti

  • THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION    CHAPTER 248

    DRAKE POVI was walking down the corridor towards the east wing when a blur of movement and scent crashed into me.Jasmine and salt. Tears.I caught her by the shoulders before she could fall. “Lillian!”She looked up, her face was steamed with tears and her eyes, were puffy and red with so much pain that it shattered my heart. I had never seen her like this. Never.“What is the matter?” I asked. My voice was thick with concern. But even as I asked, I knew. The haunted look in her eyes. The direction she had came from. Willow’s room.She just shook her head desperately with a pleading look in her eyes. She tried to speak, but a broken sob came out instead. Then she wrenched herself from my grasp with a surprising strength and flea down the hall toward the green house wing.I allowed her to go. What could I say? I am sorry my Beta broke your heart? I am sorry the man I stepped aside for is throwing away what I wanted most?With my jaw clenched tight, I continued walking towards the sou

    LILLIAN POVThe door opened. Andre stood there, staring at us, his face pale with shock. He was in Willow’s room. In the middle of the night. The words I had heard through the wood, the confession, the pain, the shares secret, crashed into the sight of him, and my world shattered.I did not think. I just ran.“Lillian!” His voice cracked out ad he called my name, but I did not stop. I could not. My feet carried me without my control down the corridor and my eyes were filled with tears.I turned a corner and slammed straight into a solid figure and I stumbled, but before I could fall, strong hands grabbed my shoulders to steady me.“Lillian! What is the matter?” Drake asked urgently as he held my shoulders tightly.I looked up and saw his gray eyes filled with concern. He had seen me running. He had heard everything.But I could not speak. My voice was filled with sobs. I just shook my head as a desperate plea, and wrenched my self from his grasp. I kept running.I had only one destin

  • THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION    CHAPTER 246

    ANDRE POVWillow’s words hung heavily in the dark room. “The only way out of this madness….is if I leave. I will go back to my old pack. I will disappear.”My wolf twisted uncomfortably inside me in protest. The sudden movement was so strong that I almost flinched.“No,” I said it out roughly. More than I intended. “You can not.”“Why?” She whispered, with so much pain in her huge eyes. “It would solve everything. I would be gone. You and Lillian could heal.”But it will not solve anything. Not with this new feeling burning inside of me. I took both of her hands in mine. It was cold. “Willow….does your wolf….react to me? Since last night?”She breathed deeply and nodded, with a tear streaking down her face. “For day….its been restless. It is lile it’s looking for Something and it is affecting everything. My sleep, my focus. I thought I was going crazy.”“You are not,” I said in a low voice. “Mine is doing the same. It is…it is disturbed. By you. About you.” I squeezed her hand tightl

  • THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION    CHAPTER 245

    DRAKE POVI was in the middle of a tedious conversation with the trade envoy from the Stone River pack about winter grain storage when I saw Lucas hurrying towards me with an expression that meant trouble on his face.I held up a finger, to signal him to to give me one minute. I needed to finish this exchange without causing alarm.Lucas stopped a few feet away, but he looked so impatient. He looked like he was on fire as he scanned the room restlessly.“…..so we can have the contracts drawn by next moon,” the envoy finished.“Excellent. My beta, Andre will follow up with the details.” I said smoothly, even though my instincts screamed. “Please enjoy the rest of the evening.”The envoy bowed and moved away. Then I turned immediately to Lucas and stepped closer to keep our voices low.“What is it?”“I can not find Salome,” Lucas said in a rushed manner. “She was sipped to meet me by the entrance half an hour ago. I have asked everyone. No one has seen her.”A flicker of annoyance mixed

  • THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION    CHAPTER 244

    LILLIAN POVI watched Andre walk away, with his shoulders tense. Something was very wrong. He had not been himself all night, but seeing Willow had shaken him to his core. I could feel it. I approached him again near the champagne fountain. “Andre, please. Talk to me. What is the problem?”He turned and smiled thinly, with a strained look in his eyes. “It is nothing, Lillian. Really. Just….gala stress. Security stress. You know how it is.” He squeezed my hand gently, but he would not look at me. “Go and enjoy yourself. Find Salome and Lydia. I will join you soon.”“But—”“Please,” he said, with an edge in his voice which felt like a plea with a hint of dismissal. “Just for a little while, I need to handle something.”He kissed my forehead briefly and disappeared into the crowd.My heart sank. The distance between us felt like a wide hole. I did what he asked and went to find my friends. I spotted Salome and Lydia by a small, ornate table near the grand piano, munching on desserts.Sa
