Lahat ng Kabanata ng REJECTED; Mated To The Alpha I Hate.: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Astrid's POVOne month later“How the hell could you get pregnant by someone you don’t even know, Astrid!? Was this how I trained you?” His roar reverberated through the room, sending icy shivers down my spine. The anger in his voice was palpable, and I could feel every word slicing through me like a blade.“I’m… I’m…” I stammered, trying to find the right words, but before I could finish, he struck me across the face. The force of the slap made me tumble and fall to the ground, my skin scraping against the rough floor.“Ahhh!” I cried out in pain, my hands instinctively flying up to cover my face. The sting from the slap was nothing compared to the burning shame and regret I felt. I had never imagined that a night of revenge against my ex would lead to this—an unwanted pregnancy with a stranger.“You have disgraced me, Astrid!” he thundered. “I rejected you, I disowned you for your wrong choices, and now you come crawling back, pregnant by someone I don’t even know? What more humilia

Astrid's POV.**3 Days Later**It was the mating ceremony of the Greenstone Pack, marking a new bond between Alpha Halfdan and my cousin Camilla.Alpha Dane, the Alpha of the Redmoon Pack, was certainly not going to miss it. I tried to stay back at the mansion, but he refused, dragging me out into the night for the ceremony.We arrived at the ceremony venue, and I was about to climb out of the car when Alpha Dane's strong grip held my hand and stopped me in my tracks.I turned to look at him, and for a reason I wasn't sure of, I saw a tinge of concern etched across his face. I was going to pull my hand out of his grip, but he tightened it even more.“No matter what, Princess... Never leave my sight. Is that clear?” he commanded, his words sending cold shivers down my spine as I wasn’t expecting him to say such things to me.He let go of my hand before turning his gaze away and climbing out of the car. He walked over to where my door was and opened it.“Is that clear?” he asked once mo

Astrid's POV. “What are you doing?” I stuttered with fear. My eyes bulged out at this moment. I wished to run away, but Alpha Dane held me glued to the ground. He was set; he was poised to rip my throat off. Just as he swung his claws to kill me at the spot, he unexpectedly halted, and I couldn't help but notice the innocence in his eyes. “Alpha Dane…” I fought to utter as I kept panting, trying to catch my breath at this point. His eyes were buried deep into mine, and from how I kept looking at him, he definitely wasn't going to take his eyes away from mine. Just as he kept staring at me, I noticed his eyes becoming heavy, and out of the blue, he fell to the ground and shifted back to his human form. “Are you okay?” Beta Ivar approached me swiftly as he inquired.“What happened?” I asked, looking confused for a split second. I turned to look at him, and that was when I noticed a syringe in his hand. It had purple substance all over it, and it made me wonder what it was. “Did

Dane's POV. “Alpha Dane, we...” Beta Ivar, who had sprinted up to me the second I left Astrid's room, spoke up, but before he could finish his words, I cut in, halting his statement to me instantly. “Why did you tell the enemy about my curse? Why?” I fumed as I asked him with a deep voice, my eyes piercing through his as I awaited his response. From how he kept acting, there was no doubt that he was scared of me, and there was no doubt that he never expected such questions from me. "Alpha, I...” he stuttered before pursuing his lips, obviously not sure about what he was going to say to me. Well, he better retains a good explanation. Cursed by my father, I swore never to show it or reveal it. The plan was to conceal it till the end, till it was broken, but as it stands, Astrid, my enemy Mate, knew about it, and believe me when I say I'm convinced it wasn't protected anymore. With time, everyone will know about it because she loathed me. “Speak up this minute, Ivar! Why were you

Dane's POV. “She is being tagged as a threat to the Greenstone pack, and she must go on her knees to beg Camilla!” Edmond declared with an audible voice, provoking me the more. “You want my mate, your Luna to...” I was going to say, but almost immediately, he cut in, making me stunned for a split second. “Oh no, Alpha Dane... She isn't my Luna yet; she isn't our Luna yet, not until she goes to make things right! We wouldn't want to fail the trust of Alpha Halfdan, and I'm pretty sure you are aware of it.” He stated, my eyes were becoming vicious as I gazed around the room. No one was speaking; no one was saying anything to him or trying to correct him. He had paid off each of them, and it made it difficult for any of them to stand up against him and oppose him. “Well, Edmond…” I stood to my feet, and with slow but deliberate strides, I walked over to where he was seated. Maliciously, I sat down on the table, making me stay pretty close before him with a smirk curling up across m
