The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 55: 'Something new'
Aurora“I thought as much,” he says, pulling back with a knowing smile before turning toward the tray.My heart skips again. I’ve barely managed to push the memory of that brief kiss out of my mind, and now something tells me whatever ‘new thing’ he’s planning next won’t make it any easier.“That would be an awesome experience,” Keira teases in my head. “I can’t wait already.” She licks her lips with longing anticipation.Goodness… why do I feel those sudden tremors and longing already building in me?“How about I start with that, since it’s been a long day?” he murmurs, and I feel the sharp sparks that come with those words as his hot breath suddenly brushes the nape of my neck again.I stiffen immediately, and he noticed.“You don’t have to be afraid, little mate. I would never hurt you intentionally,” he adds, pulling away just as quickly, as though catching himself, or maybe it’s just the constant grumbling of my stomach.I watch as Damian pulls a small seat closer to the table.
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 54: His breath on my skin
Aurora “Nothing much, Luna… I just came to check to be sure you are alright since you didn't show up for dinner,” she said with a note of genuine concern.And despite everything, it softened something in me.“Thanks for your concern. But I'm fine, as you can see. And speaking of which, Damien already ordered the meal to my room, so you need not worry yourself.” I said calmly.She let out a small breath, relief evident in her expression.“That’s good to hear, Luna. Truly.”She turned to leave, taking a few steps toward the door before pausing, as if remembering something. Slowly, she glanced back at me, that same warm smile returning to her lips.“Darius has said so much about you, and I must say this section of Darkshades is so fortunate to have a rare, strong personality like you here, Luna,” she said, and I couldn't help but extend the same level of smile and gratitude.“I know,” I said, and then I appreciated her with a simple “thank you,” and watched her extend the same warm smil
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 53: Aurora and Diala
AuroraI'm so pissed off, angry, and a little terrified all at once. Food isn't what I wanted now; The little freedom I had foolishly believed I’d gained was already slipping through my fingers, being stripped away piece by piece before I could even hold onto it.With Liam’s presence back in the picture, everything felt wrong again. And even though Damien had been protective, more than I had expected, I still couldn’t silence that part of me. The part that had seen through Liam. The part that knew the mask he wore wasn’t real.When our eyes had met, I saw that devilish grin he tried to suppress, and something tells me, for whatever reasons he's here, it was only to get back to me. Back to finish whatever twisted games he had started, and the truth… I wanted nothing to do with him. I wanted distance. Space. Freedom from him. I just wanted to stay far, far away.I would rather die than let him get close to me again. Even if that was what it took.A sharp knock on the door shattered my t
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 52: His presence
DamianI'm still in shock, unsure if he had disappeared or if he had run through those tree lines, but it happened just in a blur, and then the shaking of leaves and retreating steps of movement blared into our ears until the horn of the car snapped our attention back.His scent met me even before his presence did, familiar, unsettling, unmistakable. And just like that, I shifted back, in my pants alone, eyes narrowed at none other I would have loved to see at a point such as this.Liam.“What do you want?” I asked coldly, as soon as the engine of the car died down and he slid out of his car, but not completely, his lips holding a small, knowing smile as his eyes were directed at me, and then he looked around the environment calculatively, like he was assessing everything at once.“Don't tell me you are not happy to see your brother after these past three days,” he said to me with an amused tone, like he wasn't the same Liam I knew, or something else was working with his head.“I don'
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 51: Another attack
DamianWe eventually left the hospital after several long hours of uncertainty… and relentless, unsettling questioning.I could swear Doctor Andrew must have nearly peed on his pants a couple of times beneath the weight of my unrestrained fury and panic.But now… Aurora was stable. Alive. Back on her feet. Doctor Andrew had assured us that the medication would flush her system completely, and he confirmed it again after running another test once she woke.“You will need to keep your temper at bay next time, if I am to continue being her doctor,” he said with a casual shrug, though I could still hear the caution beneath it.“I’m sorry you had to experience that,” I replied, my voice lower now, restrained. “But trust me… you would have done far worse if the roles were reversed.”“I understand,” he nodded. “Especially when it comes to one’s fated mate. But you should also know that certain sedatives react differently. They can trigger side effects, some of which include unconsciousness f
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 50: Lifeless against my thighs
DamianI was there every step of the way, encouraging her throughout this process. If not for anything, she had been stronger than anticipated and was doing perfectly well. Her wolf was also as strong as I had thought.It made me begin to imagine things I would have loved to do with her. Aaron huffed, saying that kiss had only been a rehearsal. Silly wolf. Still, heat crept up my neck at the thought, subtle but unmistakable, and I could almost feel the faint burn of it reaching my face as my gaze darkened without permission. She caught me staring. Of course she did. Her cheeks dipped with shy awareness as she quickly turned her attention back to Doctor Andrew, avoiding me.A quiet chuckle left me, low and restrained, as my thoughts dragged me backward, back to that moment.Because honestly, I had expected her to falter at some point during the walk. To slow down. To show strain. Maybe even ask for help.But she hadn’t.I had to ask her if I could hold her hand, just to be certain, at
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 7: Publicly
AuroraI don't know how I made it to the kitchen, but I did. The kitchen stretched out empty. The dishes were all carried out. The omegas were nowhere in view. Even Mia wasn't in sight. The silence felt unnatural, pressing in on me from all sides… except for the chaos inside my chest.It kept beati
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 24: Tempting moment
DamianI sniffed softly and watched as she took slow, measured steps forward, each one deliberate, each one careful, like the kind taken by someone who had no idea what lay ahead, yet had no choice but to keep moving.I turned my gaze away, forcing myself to look at the guards, at anything else, as
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 17: Damian's announcement
AuroraAs I stepped out of my room and made my way toward the kitchen to assist with whatever was needed for the day, I couldn't help but feel the uneasy tension in the air.At first, it didn’t truly register, didn’t quite pull at my awareness, until I felt it, those same eyes, trailing over me wit
The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted 14: Bad boy
LiamSo Damian found his fated mate two years ago and I'm unaware? Then I'm certainly lagging behind on some details.I'm sure it probably wouldn’t be HER from four years ago. My curiosity piqued, and suddenly I want to meet this fated mate of his.I would love to explore something between those th
