All Chapters of Rejected by my mate: Bounded by the Ruthless Lycan : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Zara's world began to spin. King Draven had just called her by her name; how in earth did he know her name. Scratch that, what was it he had said last before her ears began to ring and her heart began to race faster in her chest?!She didn't think she had heard him right, her wolf was growling so loudly that she found it hard to process a y further words that had emanated from Draven's mouth. And then, the tingling sensation hit her nose, the familiar scent she had always dreaded and wished she would never get the privilege of sensing it again, but here it was, pulling at her heart strings. Zara’s breath hitched, her wolf stirring at the undeniable pull of the bond snapping into place. The air between them hummed with raw power, a connection stronger than anything she had ever felt before. But instead of the rejection she expected, Draven didn’t push her away.

A lump formed in Zara’s throat as she looked back at Draven's still form. He had spent his life fighting against this darkness. He had refused to mark her, hoping to spare her from the fate tied to his. But she was the only one who could save him.Her life for his. A future for her pack. A future for him. Zara closed her eyes. She had already been rejected six times. Maybe this had been her fate all along.She reached for the dagger at her belt, her hands steady. Then Kael’s grip tightened
