บททั้งหมดของ Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"If I didn't know better, I'd say she wasn't your daughter."The words hit Agatha so sudden her breath caught, and she froze. The glass in her hands slipped, shattering against the floor with a deafening crash.The room, buzzing with conversation just moments ago, fell silent. Every eye turned to her as she struggled to regain her composure."Are you okay?" Aurora asked softly.Agatha didn't answer. She stared at the shards at her feet. Slowly, she lifted her gaze, her expression carefully neutral."Yes. Yes, I'm fine," she said, her words rushed and forced. She avoided Derrick's gaze as her palms grew clammy.Derrick, completely unfazed, continued casually. "Well, I say we let her go. Just for the sake of it. In a few weeks, she should be back here."Aurora felt a pang of disappointment. No one truly believed in her. Just a few weeks, then back. It was better than nothing, maybe. But she would prove them all wrong.Alpha Derrick's gaze locked on Agatha, narrowing slightly."Unless th

"Are you supposed to be here?"A sultry, condescending voice drifted toward her. Aurora turned to see a tall blonde girl striding over with an air of effortless authority.She probably held some position here, but her expression made one thing clear. She was not friendly."I need help," Aurora sighed, keeping her voice simple.The blonde's perfectly arched brow lifted slightly. "Help?""Yeah," Aurora said. "I need to get to the male lodges. I have someone's stuff."At that, a small group of girls nearby perked up and moved closer, curious.The blonde's smirk widened, like a predator sensing amusement."Let me guess," she purred. "Some little tryout with big dreams?"Aurora tensed.The blonde tilted her head. "Why exactly do you want to go there? Hoping to snag yourself a high ranking wolf on your first day?"The way she looked Aurora up and down made irritation prick at her skin. She already didn't like this girl.Aurora took a slow breath, keeping her voice calm. "I just need to retur

Aurora"Can you check again?" I asked, disbelief tightening my voice.The woman behind the desk gave me an irritated look, her lips pressed thin.It couldn't be.How could he just disappear?I was holding his bag. So how on earth could there be no record of him?"Is there an issue?" she asked, impatience clear now.Her fingers tapped against the desk as she studied me."Have you checked in your documents and received your class schedule?" she continued sharply. "You have a lot of catching up to do. Instead of wasting time on childish pranks, you should focus on getting settled."Her frown deepened with every word, and embarrassment crept up my spine. I stepped back slowly, unable to respond.Outside, Sarah nudged me gently."We should just search the bag. We might find a clue, like a name or something," she said, her voice quieter.So we did.We emptied it on a nearby bench. A sealed grooming kit. A few books. Nothing strange, nothing unique, nothing that could be used to trace him. Th

Chapter 8Theron took a step closer, and in that instant, everything seemed to slow.Time stood still.Neither of us said a word. We just stood there, breathing. His breaths deep and controlled. Mine shallow and erratic.His eyes looked different. They seemed to have softened as he looked down at me, the green in them deepening like a forest lit by moonlight. Something about that moment unraveled the cold, calculated image I had of him. For just a heartbeat, he looked almost human.Almost vulnerable.And gods, he was beautiful.Not just in the way people whispered about him in passing, but in that raw, brutal kind of way that made you want to keep looking just to understand what you were seeing. His presence was magnetic. Dangerous. The kind that made you so aware of everything. The space between you. The air in your lungs. The beat of your own heart.He had his Lycan beast already, no doubt. And now, for the first time, I found myself curious. What did his Lycan look like?Because if

Few Hours EarlierTheron's POV"Grey! Get your head in the game!"Coach Zafron's voice ripped through the arena like a whip.I snapped out of my thoughts, shaking my head, trying to shove the distraction back where it came from. My lycan growled low, pacing inside me like a caged animal."Shut up," I muttered under my breath. "What the hell are you whining about now?"I'd already screwed up twice. Dropped two passes. Missed one intercept. The team was pissed. Coach was livid. And I couldn't even blame them.Not really.Two Lycans came at me fast, trying to cut me off as I charged toward the goal with the Moonstone in hand. The orb pulsed, slippery with lunar energy, but I held on. Barely.Focus. Damn it. Focus.But the second I tried to break past the line, I stumbled. One of them clipped my leg, and I hit the ground hard, rolling across the turf.He hesitated, eyes wide, checking if I'd snap his neck for it.The whistle blew."Prince!" Coach barked. "Keep it together!"I shot him a wa
