SEBASTIAN

I had everything arranged. My best enforcers stationed at the parking area, sharp-eyed, armed under their formal jackets, ready to shadow every move Aleric’s people made. I wanted to greet him personally. Shake his hand. Smile while I sized up the devil everyone whispered about. Let the entire ballroom see me stand toe-to-toe with the savage king and not flinch.

When the van rolled in, I felt the first flicker of triumph. Then the doors opened and only two men stepped out.

  • The Rejected Alpha   Back Home

    JASONIt had been four weeks since the night Aleric brought his mate back from the Rufous Moon Pack, yet I could still remember everything as clearly as if it had happened yesterday.I remembered the anxiety most of all.Back then, I couldn’t reach any of the guys who had gone to the Moon Ball with him. Ben’s message had been frustratingly brief, just a few words saying that Aleric had taken over the pack. No explanation. No details. Nothing that made the situation any easier to understand.Mia had tried to help. She was a sweetheart like that. She knew I was spiraling and did everything she could to distract me in the ways she knew best. I certainly wasn’t complaining, the night we had afterward was unforgettable, but even that hadn’t fully quieted my thoughts.My mind kept drifting back to Rufous Moon.To Aleric and whatever had happened there. He was my Alpha. What happened to him, or what he did, was my business too. I couldn’t just pretend it didn’t matter. It did. And the fact t

  • The Rejected Alpha   Aftermath

    Two Weeks Later​ALERIC​The memory of that night is a series of strobe-light flashes, drenched in crimson and the scent of peppermint.​I had promised them, Jason, Ian, my brothers-in-arms, that the "Devil" was dead. I’d promised I wouldn’t go berserk again, that I was a leader now, not just a weapon. But the moment I saw her, broken and discarded on that cold tile, the promises burned away like dry straw. My blood didn't just boil; it turned to molten silver.​Axel didn't ask for permission. He didn't wait for a strategy. He simply tore through the surface of my consciousness and took the wheel. The first neck I snapped felt like a dry twig, a small sound that didn't even begin to satisfy the rage. Half of those wolves are in the ground now, and though the diplomat in me knows it was a massacre, the man in me doesn't feel a shred of remorse. They didn’t just hurt a girl; they tried to extinguish the second light the Moon had offered me. I will never forgive them for that.​Then Seba

  • The Rejected Alpha   No Remorse

    IANThe air in the room is heavy enough to choke a man. Everything is a jagged, bloody mess. ​For two years, we watched Aleric claw his way out of the darkness. We watched him fight every day not to become the monster he was after Lily’s betrayal, and as his Gamma, I have never been more proud of the leader he became. But looking at him now drenched in blood, his eyes glowing with a primal, terrifying gold, I feel like I’m staring at a stranger.​During the rough years, he was at least still our Alpha. He let us in, even if it was just a sliver. Now? There is a wall between us and him that no rank can breach. He moves with a lethal, silent efficiency, and every time I try to step in to mitigate the damage, he barks a command to stand down.​"This is my hunt," his voice had rumbled, a sound that wasn't entirely human.​I can’t say I’m entirely surprised by the carnage. If anything, it could have been worse. When the other Alphas from the ballroom spilled into the room, Aleric didn't ev

  • The Rejected Alpha   The Text

    JASONI stared at the message on my phone, reading it again just to be sure I hadn’t misunderstood. It was still the same. Ben hadn’t written much, just a short, infuriatingly calm message saying that Aleric had taken over the Rufous Moon Pack and that they would be staying longer than planned.That was it, no explanation, no details. Nothing. When I tried calling him back, the call rang out unanswered. I lowered the phone slowly, frustration twisting in my chest.I shouldn’t have agreed to stay behind. I should have insisted on going with them. Maybe my presence wouldn’t have stopped Aleric or Axel from doing whatever they had already planned, but at least I could have tried. I could have been the voice of reason.Ben and Daniel… they weren’t the best people to keep Aleric in check. They tried sometimes, sure, but it wasn’t the same. Aleric actually listened to me. Sometimes Ian too.Which brought another question to mind. What exactly was Ian doing right now?And why the hell was he

  • The Rejected Alpha   Shocked

    IANWe were stunned when Aleric announced that we would be attending the annual Moon Ball. The decision clearly hadn’t been made on a whim. The invitation had arrived days earlier, and Aleric had spent that time brooding over it before finally giving his answer. He had never been shy about his hatred for parties, so none of us expected him to accept, especially this one. Most invitations he rejected outright, and the few he couldn’t refuse he simply passed on to Jason and me.Not that we received many invitations these days anyway. Not after the incident three years ago.What made it even stranger was how he behaved afterward. Once he decided we were going, he talked about it constantly. Aleric, who usually treated conversation like a chore, suddenly wouldn’t shut up about the ball. And when the day finally came, he was dressed and ready before sunrise, pacing like a caged wolf.Jason and I made the mistake of joking about it. Aleric didn’t find it funny.He turned on us with that hea

  • The Rejected Alpha   She's Not Her

    Aleric ​"Alpha?" Ian’s voice was sharper now, a jagged edge of confusion cutting through the haze. ​The girl in the pink dress was practically crawling onto me, her scent a cloying, artificial stench that made my stomach churn. She tried to slide a hand up my arm, her fingers trailing over my skin like insects.​"Who... who is she?" I asked. My voice sounded foreign, a hollow rattle in my chest as I fought the urge to put my fist through the pink-painted mask she called a face.​"Oh, her?" She smiled, a predatory baring of teeth that made her look more like a ghoul than a girl. "Don't bother yourself with that, Alpha. She’s just a nobody."​I didn't just remove her hands; I shrugged her off with a force that sent her stumbling. I moved toward the girl on the floor, the world around me beginning to blur into shades of crimson. As I crouched beside the broken girl, she twitched. She didn't open her eyes, but she leaned into my presence, inhaling my scent and a small, ragged sigh of con
