Semua Bab The Rejected Wolf Returns: Bab 1 - Bab 6

Jessica and I were walking across the packlands toward school when we noticed a couple ahead of us. They were holding hands and smiling like they were the only two people in the world.Jessica nudged me excitedly.“That’s Matt and Betty. The Moon Goddess just revealed they’re mates,” she said with a dreamy sigh. “I hope we find our mates soon.”I forced a small smile for my best friend. Jessica deserved happiness. She was kind, loyal, and beautiful — everything people liked in a wolf.But me?Would anyone ever be happy to have me as their mate?Most female wolves in the pack were admired for their beauty, their strength, and their wolves. Me? I was called ugly. Worthless. Wolfless.Even my own brother believed it.But they were wrong.I wasn’t wolfless.I had a wolf — a very powerful one.Celeste had told me many times how strong she was. She had been with me since I was eleven years old, whispering encouragement whenever the world tried to break me.But no one else knew.Sorry, I’m g

He knocked on the large wooden door at the end of the hallway“Come in,” a rough voice called.We stepped inside, and the man motioned for me to sit in the chair before him.“You can leave, Lucas,” the Alpha said.“Yes, Alpha,” Lucas started, but hesitated when the Alpha’s piercing gaze fell on him.“Just go, Lucas. We’ll talk later,” the Alpha said, turning his full attention toward me.“What’s your name?” he asked, his tone sharp.“Z-Zoe… B-Berry, Alpha,” I stammered nervously.“I see,” he said, leaning back slightly. “Zoe. Listen carefully. I’m not the kind of Alpha who would ever allow a rogue into my territory. I don’t give second chances lightly. To me, rogues are a plague — a rotten nuisance in wolf society. So, tell me… what should I do with you?” His gaze bore into me.I swallowed hard and avoided his eyes. Tears began to fall. “I… I didn’t mean to enter your borders. They were chasing me. I didn’t even realise I had crossed into your pack. Please… don’t kill me. I can’t… I d

“We’re approaching Blue Mountain Pack,” I announced, gripping the wheel tightly.We came to a stop at the border. The pack warriors blocked the road, eyes sharp and questioning.“What’s your business here?” one of them demanded.Lucas, calm and authoritative, stepped forward. “We have a permit.” He held it out, and I watched as the warriors mind-linked their Alpha to confirm before allowing us to enter.As we drove toward the packhouse, I scanned the familiar grounds. Nothing much had changed over the past two years. The grounds were quiet, eerily so — no one came out to greet us.“Is this how they greet guests?” Ethan asked through the mindlink as he, Riley, Aria, and Audrey got out of the SUV.“I don’t know,” I replied, still sitting in my car. “I never had the privilege of seeing how they treated visitors here.”Movement from the packhouse drew my attention. Out stepped… my brother. James, the Beta.“Terribly sorry. It’s been a little hectic,” he said quickly, forcing a smile. “You
