The walk back to the house was silent, the kind of silence that felt heavy and suffocating. Ethan stayed close, his presence both comforting and irritating. I didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to think, but the weight of everything that had happened pressed down on me like a storm cloud ready to burst.

When we finally reached the house, the front door flew open before we could even step onto the porch. My aunt stood there, her face pale and her eyes wide with worry. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days, and guilt twisted in my gut at the sight of her.

“Jessica!” she exclaimed, rushing forward to pull me into a tight hug. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been?”

I stiffened in her arms, my emotions a tangled mess. Part of me wanted to melt into her embrace, to let her comfort me the way I’ve always craved but never had. But the other part—the part that was still raw and angry—pushed her away.

“I’m fine,” I said, my voice flat and cold. “I don’t need a babys

  • The alpha’s rejection    CHAPTER 8

    I stepped out of Christopher’s office, the heavy wooden door clicking shut behind me. The hallway felt colder than before, the air sharp and biting against my skin. My uncle was waiting for me, his arms crossed and his face etched with worry. He opened his mouth to say something, but I held up a hand to stop him. “Don’t,” I said, my voice hollow. “Just… don’t.” He hesitated, then nodded, falling into step beside me as I walked down the corridor. My mind was racing, replaying the confrontation over and over. Christopher’s cold detachment, his refusal to reject me, the way he’d looked at me—like I was a problem he couldn’t solve. It didn’t make sense. None of it made sense. “What happened in there?” my uncle asked finally, breaking the silence. I shook my head, not trusting myself to speak. If I opened my mouth, I wasn’t sure what would come out—anger, tears, or something worse. Instead, I kept walking, my boots echoing against the floor. When we reached the front door, I pause

  • The alpha’s rejection    CHAPTER 7

    I followed the assistant through the dimly lit corridors of the pack’s main house, my boots echoing against the polished wooden floors. The air was thick with tension, and every step felt heavier than the last. I clenched my fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to steady my breathing.My uncle walked silently beside me, his expression grim. He hadn’t said a word since the summons, but the tension in his jaw and the way his shoulders were stiff told me everything I needed to know. He was worried—no, terrified—about what was about to happen.“You don’t have to do this,” he said finally, his voice low and urgent as we approached the Alpha’s office. “You can still leave. I can arrange for you to go somewhere safe, far away from here.”I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. “And what? Run away like a coward? Let him win?”My uncle’s eyes softened, but his tone remained firm. “This isn’t about winning or losing, Jessica. This is about survival. Christopher is

  • The alpha’s rejection    CHAPTER 6

    The night was heavy with unspoken words and unresolved tension. After the confrontation with my uncle and aunt, I retreated to my room, the weight of Christopher’s rejection pressing down on me like a physical force. The envelope of money he’d given me sat on the edge of my desk, untouched, a silent reminder of his cold dismissal. I couldn’t bring myself to open it. It felt like accepting it would mean admitting defeat, and I wasn’t ready to do that—not yet. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my mind racing. The bond between us, whatever it was, still lingered, a faint but persistent pull in my chest. It was maddening, this connection that refused to let go, even when he had made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to push the feeling away. But it was no use. The bond was there, stubborn and unyielding, like a thread I couldn’t sever. A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. I didn’t respo

  • The alpha’s rejection    CHAPTER 5

    The forest was eerily silent, the kind of silence that pressed against my skin, making my thoughts louder than they should be. Leaves crunched beneath my feet as I walked aimlessly, the cool night air biting at my exposed arms. Everything felt surreal, like I had just stepped out of a nightmare only to realize I was still trapped in it. Christopher’s words echoed in my mind, over and over, like a cruel mantra. “I don’t know what witchcraft she has done, but she’s not my mate and will never be Luna.” I clenched my fists. That bastard. Who did he think he was? One moment, he looked at me like I was the only person in the world, and the next, he tossed me aside like I was nothing. Like I was less than nothing. I pushed forward through the trees, my body moving on instinct, my head too clouded with frustration and confusion to care where I was going. And yet, somehow, my feet carried me back to my uncle’s house—the Beta house. The lights from the windows cast a warm glow against

  • The alpha’s rejection    CHAPTER 4

    I stand frozen as the heavy doors slam shut behind Alpha Beck no, Christopher. I refuse to call him by his title. I feel anger bubbling with in me as my cheeks redden realizing what he had just done how dare he embarrass me like that.The murmurs in the room buzz in my ears, but I don’t care. My pulse pounds, my body practically vibrating with anger. Who the hell does he think he is?Without a second thought, I turn and storm after him, my heels clicking against the floor.“Jessica!” Camilla hisses behind me, but I ignore her. I don’t have time for this I’m tired of all the bullshit.The moment I step outside, the cool air stings my skin, but my focus is locked on Christopher’s broad back as he strides toward the tree line. His movements are rigid, controlled—he’s pissed, just like me.“Hey!” I call, but he doesn’t stop.Fury burns hotter in my chest. “I said, hey! You don’t get to storm in, embarrass me in front of everyone, and then walk away like I’m nothing!”That does it.He stop
