All Chapters of Oops! Still Your Mate : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

The hall went silent, waiting for the Alpha to speak up. They could vaguely sense the reason for the meeting and they had braced their minds for what was to come. Alpha Zeke cleared his throat. The crowd tensed up. Dozens of ears perked up, every gaze shifting between the towering Alpha and the woman standing before him. Her auburn hair cascaded in waves down her back, her chin raised in quiet defiance. “I, Alpha Zeke of the Bloodcraw pack, reject you Ivy Hale as my mate” The words fell like a stone into still water. All eyes turned to her, some with pity, others with disdain and most with curiosity. They knew what would happen next, the pleas, the cries and when the Alpha remains unmoved, she would reluctantly accept the rejection. That's what they all do. What they did not expect was her reaction. She went silent. And then she blinked. Once. Twice. And smiled - the kind that tug at her lips in amusement. A ripple of unease swept through the hall, it wasn't supposed to be th

The morning was too bright, too bright for her mood. The morning air was crisp and the warm light filtered in though the wooden window.

Her arms burned, her palms were raw, and the water - already murky from soap and dirt - sloshed against her wrists like it mocked her. The scent of sweat, iron and Zeke's musky cologne clung to the fabric. She groaned. “Even his damn clothes smell so arrogant” “Hey girl, love the scent of his clothes” She heard the super annoying voice. Tessa. Ivy dropped the clothes back into the basin with a wet slap “What are you doing here?” She turned her head to her. “I've been looking for you” Tessa said, crouching beside her with that grin that could make anyone suspicious “Went to the greenhouse but Mika said she had no idea where you are.
