21~ Back to square one
James
It had been 7 hours since Zoe lost consciousness and she was yet to wake up. My wolf and I have been on edge since then. Venting my anger out on anyone I laid my eyes on.
I was angry at myself for almost causing her death. Why did I let her have a friendly match with that snake?
It was my fault… I thought Anna would at least try to be rational. But she clearly was too far gone in her ambitions to see the big picture.
Having pack members fight with my guest would cause a rebellion. I would have challengers wanting to compete for the Alpha position.
Not that I would lose, but it could dismantle the pack. A pack that was not united was bound to fall apart.
I wonder where it all went wrong for Anna. She used to be a sweet innocent girl. Despite being an orphan, she always had a smile on her face.
The five of us used to be best buddies. Lewis, Jericho, Dean, Anna and I.
Until, because of an unfortunate incident, Dean,

James I fucked up real bad. In my quest to living mateless, I ended up hurting the one woman who fucking wanted me. It was the first time she showed her emotions and it fucking hurt that I was the cause of her pain. The lines etched on her forehead when I mercilessly told her I hated her were proof of the anguish she was going through. I didn’t mean it when I said I hated her; I just wanted to push her away because mates were not my thing. I stopped believing in them years ago. No, to be more accurate, I despised them. Now she was ignoring me big time. It’s been 2 weeks since I last saw her. She didn’t even let me get a glimpse of her hair. Heck, she was spending time with Lewis and Jericho now. Remembering that day when I messed things up, my heart squeezed painfully. ~Flashback~ “What do you mean? I…. I …” Zoe paused then chuckled nervously. “ I don’t even know what to say.” “I came here thinki

Zoe My heart was racing as James’s hand held my neck in a tight grip. Anger and hatred were evident in his eyes. It was almost as if he could snap my neck at any moment. But I wouldn’t back down, not now, not ever. He could kill me for all I care. Despite the situation, I couldn’t miss the way tingles and sparks coursed through me as he gripped my neck and pressed his body on mine. Ignoring the tingles, I glared at him. “What are you waiting for? A whistle blow?” I sneered as his expression darkened. “Don’t try my patience woman,” he spat, his hot breath fanning my face as he had leaned in closer. The grip on my neck loosened and he placed his palms on the wall, caging me in his arms. Now what was he up to? “You think you can reject me? I rejected you!” He sneered and my stomach twisted, my chest felt heavy… like a boulder was placed down on it.. the feeling was so suffocating. “It doesn’t matter… I didn’t agree, only m
The Alpha's rejection 24~ Jealousy
James The moment I said those harsh words to Zoe, I regretted it. I looked at her as I pinned her against the wall, her eyes blurred with tears but she still tried to put up a strong front. Her stubbornness irked me.. so as much as I wanted to pull her in my arms and apologize, I didn't but ended up saying things I didn't even fucking mean. I went back to my office but I felt like a boulder was pressed down on my chest... What the fuck is wrong with me? Didn't I go there with the intentions of making things work? 'You fuck up things... That's what you're good at and that's what you've done to our mate! I can't believe you fucked up our only chance to make things right,' Tyler growled, clearly pissed at me. I didn't mean for things to spiral out of control but the moment she started reciting the rejection, I lost it. My emotions were triggered, anger, fear, insecurity that I would never be eno
The Alpha's rejection 25~ Angry Alpha
Zoe The moment his scorching lips met mine, my heart exploded. An electricity jolt rushed through me, all the way to my core and it achingly clenched. Fuck... He was driving me crazy but wait... How could I let him kiss me after he insulted me like that? Where's my dignity? Anger consumed me when I recalled our earlier fight so I pushed him away and landed a very hard slap on his cheek, turning his head to the side. He was busy enjoying the kiss so the slap caught him off guard.. 5 red fingerprints immediately showed up on his cheek. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I asked, glaring up at him, ignoring the angry look on his face as steam came out of his ears. "What were you doing at the lake with an unmated wolf?" He questioned with a scary look on his face. So he was there... "I was having fun, not that it's any of your business," I retorted. What the fuck did he tak
The Alpha's rejection 26~ A strange man
James Fuck, Zoe was perfect. I never imagined she would taste just as good as she smelt. I hit myself mentally for delaying things with my petty excuses. After having a taste of her, I realized what I had been missing. Only a fool would continue to push her away after having a little piece of her. She was a goddess and she was all mine. After leaving the lake in a fit of rage, I went back to my office but I was still on edge. What if Zoe decides to be with Lewis? The thought didn’t sit well with me. Making up my mind, I decided to wait for her in her room. I was going to claim her… my life would suck without her.. she had already occupied my heart permanently. There was no turning back….. The moment she came into the room, I made my move. She tried to provoke me but I wasn’t having it… I was only going to leave her room after marking her and making her mine. Taking her
The Alpha's rejection 27~ An accident
Zoe Two days had passed since James left and I was anticipating his arrival. We barely had time to sit down and talk so I needed us to have a talk. After his on and off moods, I needed to be sure we were on the same page lest I get my heart broken. The council of elders was made up of all the Alpha’s of each pack. They came up with solutions to rogue attacks and held Alpha’s who abused their pack members accountable. My father was also there and he called me after their meeting looking alarmed, it was hilarious. I laughed, recalling the video call. “Princess, why does Alpha James smell like you? He didn’t do anything to you, did he?” He asked nervously and I giggled. “Why don’t you ask him what he did to your little girl dad? He’s a monster!” I said, faking anger and almost laughed out loud at my father’s expression. He was acting like I was 16. Wasn’t he the one who sent me here and gave me some hints by saying how handsome Ja
The Alpha's rejection 28~ Missing
James I had rushed back to the pack after the council meeting ended. But instead of going straight to the mansion, I passed through the pack house after mind-linking Christine's parents to bring her to the pack house so that I could initiate her back into the pack. My aim was to deal with all my unfinished business so that I could spend the rest of the coming days with Zoe without any disturbances. I wanted to make it up to her but not only in words. Lewis parked the range rover outside the pack house and I went upstairs to my office. To my dismay, Christine was there alone when I clearly asked her parents to come with her. I hate being disobeyed. "Where is Jack and Sherry?" I asked her curtly with a furrowed brow. "Mom and dad are busy with something, I told them they didn't need to be here," Christine purred and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. 'Jack and Sherry, take over patrol
The Alpha's rejection 29~ Heat
Zoe My heart hammered rapidly in my chest as the footsteps drew closer. Chloe was alert in my head. We were going straight for the kill wouldn’t want to run while looking over my shoulder. Soon, the men came into view with sinister looks and my breath hitched. They were so ugly I almost gagged. How could such ugly creatures want to have a taste of me? They are not even worthy to be placed on the queue of my many suitors. Ok, they were okay looking but them being rogues and becoming villains turned them into ugly people from within their souls. “Hey there Princess,” the first man with red hair and a round face spoke and I frowned in disgust. Only my father and mate can call me princess, how dare this man! “Don’t be scared, we just want to have a little fun. If you cooperate we might be gentle and make you enjoy it too,” the other man with brown hair and an elongated face said, approaching me slowly and I feigned weakness. I pretended to
