MILA

“Argh!!!”

I threw the stack of sketches off my desk in frustration. I could barely focus on anything with my mind going over everything that has happened. I stood up, pacing, feeling my skin starting to heat up. I just wanted a moment of peace, a moment to forget it all.

I closed my eyes and tried to pull myself together, but I couldn’t forget that my dad was alive. And yet, he looked at me like I was no one–a stranger. It hurted more than I realized, and Rayne’s simmering fury under my skin made it hard to keep it all contained.

“I’m not angry,” Rayne protested. “I’m horny, and staying near HIM is not making this easy, Mila.”

I scoffed at her, rolling my eyes. “I thought you were strong, Rayne.”

Rayne huffed in frustration. “Strong? Oh, I’m plenty strong, Mila. But even the strongest of us have needs.” Her tone was edged with a dangerous hunger, a barely-contained desire that made my pulse quicken. “You keep holding back, pretending you can handle all this alone,” she continued,

Thank you all for being patience. Had to get my life back in place post-hurricane. Finally able to be settled. Now back to it. For this chapter, we know Mila has been struggling not just physically but mentally and emotionally with her bond with Gabe. Alex might serve as a grounding presence, but its still a disconnect between what Mila wants and what she needs. What did you think of Mila’s choices here? Does her struggle feel authentic, or do you think she’s running out of excuses to avoid confronting her feelings? Let me know your thoughts as we continue this journey!

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 209

    MILAGabe moved closer to me. “You know,” Gabe’s voice came low and smooth, “I was going to let it go. Be the bigger man. Take the high road.”“But?” I asked, a teasing lift in my brow.“But then the way he looked when he kissed you,” Gabe said, walking towards me slowly. “In front of the entire damn pack. Now I’ve got an itch under my skin that won’t quit.”I sighed, stepping closer. “It was goodbye, Gabe.”He closed the space between us in two steps, cupping my face gently. “I know. I do. Yet, every inch of me wants to rip his arms off.”“Fucking hot!” I thought, or was that me? I shook my head, laughing it off. “Jealousy looks cute on you.”He smirked. “You know what else looks cute on me?”I raised an eyebrow. “Don’t say me.”He leaned in, lips brushing the shell of my ear. “You.”I blushed, swatting his chest, distancing myself. I didn’t want to get too emotional. I cleared my throat. “What happened to your shirt?”I pointed to the large, splattered stain across the chest, somet

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 208

    MILAThe Luna celebration was in full swing. Lanterns floated like stars above the pack grounds, casting warm golden light over dancing figures, tables overflowing with food, and laughter that felt… real. Free. Every face I passed held a smile, a nod of approval, or a look of pride. My people. My pack. And for the first time… they were truly mine.I stood near the edge of the festivities, watching as Camila spun in a ridiculous circle with a drink in each hand while Alex and Jenna tried to keep her from crashing into the dessert table. Noah clung to Gabe’s leg before breaking free and joining the other pups near the dance floor, where they were chasing glowing confett

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 207

    MILAThe dungeon always smelled the same, damp stone and misery. The kind of smell that clung to your soul if you let it. But I didn’t flinch as I walked through. Every guard bowed their heads and recited the same thing.“Happy New Year, Luna.”I repeated, giving them a gracious smile. Luna. Still wasn’t used to the title, even if it was my birthright.Emily’s cell was the last one, far from the others, like even the prison itself didn’t want to be near her. She sat at the small table inside, nibbling delicately on something wrapped in gold foil. Her hair was still neatly styled, her posture perfect, like she was waiting for a dinner party and not a trial.“Enjo

    GABEThe clink of metal echoed faintly as I leaned against the dungeon wall. Arianna sat at the table, wrists unshackled for the moment, her hands moving with quiet grace as she finished the last signature on the paperwork. Her skin was pale, lips chapped, but there was still something defiant in the tilt of her chin, like even now, she refused to bow to the consequences of her choices.She slid the folder across the table. “It’s done. You have full custody now. Happy?”I took the folder without looking at her, my jaw tight. I nodded, but the word wouldn’t come. I’d won. Noah was mine. And yet… there was no triumph in it. Just the bitter taste of what it cost.Arianna watched me, eyes narrowing. “Will I get to see him?” she asked, voice softening. “A letter, maybe? A visit?”I looked at her then, really looked. The bruises had faded, but the damage she caused hadn’t. I saw Mila lying unconscious on that bed for a week. My little Noah’s tiny body in the hospital recuperating. I would n

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 205

    MILA I woke up again. This time on a bed so soft it felt like clouds had wrapped around me. If I was truly dead, this would’ve been heaven compared to the last time. The morning light filtered through the curtains, giving the room a nice warmth glow. Still, my limbs felt like they were made of stone, and my throat was dry and raw. I shifted slightly, wincing as every joint protested. The sheets rustled. That’s when I saw him.A man sat slumped in a chair beside my bed, head tilted at an uncomfortable angle, arms crossed over his chest. He looked exhausted–like sleep was a fight he’d been losing for days. Salt-and-pepper kinky hair curled over his brow. A faint twitch in his scarred face made the marks look even more pronounced, more lived-in. And around his neck… the necklace I was familiar with.My heart skipped. I knew that face. He jolted awake suddenly, as if sensing me. Bleary-eyed, disoriented until his gaze landed on me.His deep brown eyes, mirrored of my own, widened with a

  • The Rejected Mate's Revenge   Chapter 204

    MILAI thought we were safe. My body moved on autopilot as I grabbed Noah from the back seat, twisting just in time to shield him from the impact. Pain exploded in my ribs, white-hot and unrelenting, but I held him tighter. His cries were muffled against my chest, his small fingers digging into my shoulders. I checked for injuries. He was fine. Just scared. The car had slammed into the railing on the cliffside. Luckily we didn’t go over.“It’s okay, baby. We’re fine,” I whispered, forcing calm into my voice. “We’re okay.”The car had slammed into the guardrail. By some miracle, we hadn’t gone over the cliff. Rayne stirred inside me, already working to heal the fractures along my side. “Three broken ribs, twisted ankle, and possible bruised lung,” she muttered, but she wasn’t focused on the pain. Neither of us were.I gritted my teeth and pushed open the door. Every inch of my body screamed in protest, but I needed to get Noah to safety. He clung to me like a second skin, his breath
