All Chapters of Rejecting Fate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

-Colter-The Sno Wolf Pack’s private meeting room was a stage for a slow-motion disaster. I leaned against the heavy stone fireplace, my fingers digging into the cold mantelpiece, desperate to channel my agitation somewhere, anywhere, but at my father.Luna Charis stood before my father, a frail, fierce silhouette. Her voice was thin, but the fury behind it was sharp enough to draw blood.“You tell me you will ‘take care of this,’ Alpha Connor, but every minute my daughter is with Mason, you only sink deeper into his web,” she clipped, her eyes burning into his. “You talk of diplomatic solutions and political balance, but you are not a powerful Alpha right now. You are nothing more than a pawn being maneuvered by the Moors.”My father’s jaw tightened. He never tolerated insolence, but this was Charis—the mother of the girl I couldn't stop thinking about—a rarity, an Original Luna. He held his tongue, but his silence was a growing storm.It was Kenneth, my uncle and our Delta, who inter

-COLTER-The days had been spent gathering intel on the Moors, but Josephine’s father had things locked tighter than ever.It was clear that he didn’t want anyone in on what he had going on. “I’m sure she’s safe, Colter,” said Josephine. “My father wouldn’t see harm to one of the original bloodline.

[JOSEPHINE]The scent of dry cedar and centuries of tradition filled Alpha Mason’s private study in the upper levels of the foundry. When the heavy iron-bound door clicked open, my father didn't even look up from the sprawling map of the Moorlands laid across his desk. "I told the guards I was not to be disturbed until—" He cut himself off, his dark eyes widening in genuine, pleasant surprise as he recognized the figure standing in the doorway. "Josephine."A rare, warm smile broke across the Alpha’s hardened features. He stepped out from behind the desk, extending a hand to me."My dear girl. I didn't expect you back from the Sno pack house so soon. Though I must say, your timing is immaculate." Father’s voice rumbled with an infectious, triumphant energy. He was clearly excited about something, and I already knew what it was."You are just in time to witness the dawn of a new era for our bloodline."Despite my newfound frustrations with my father’s probable plans, I still loved h
