Semua Bab REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Aurelia's POV “I put fifty credits on her getting dumped before the clock strikes midnight,” a sharp voice sneered from the row of marble sinks.It was Chloe, one of Lyra’s old inner circle. She was adjusting her diamond earrings, her eyes tracking my reflection through the glass with pure disdain.I continued smoothing down the satin of the simple white gown I had bought with my own savings, ignoring them.“Only fifty?” another girl giggled, applying a thick layer of lip gloss. “I heard Zeph’s dad was furious when he saw the official itinerary. There is no way the Alpha Council lets him tie himself to a weak wolf. He’s just using her to fill the void.”My fingers dug into the fabric of my dress, my nails nearly tearing the delicate lace detailing at my waist.Void. Rebound. Backup.Sure, I wanted this night to be romantic, but deep down, I also wanted to get my dignity back. I wanted to look every single person in this academy in the eye and prove I wasn't just a shadow he hid away

AureliaZephyron flinched as if I had struck him across the face. His hands hovered in the space between us, trembling slightly, before falling heavily to his sides. The shame in his gray eyes instantly hardened.He didn’t want to be the villain in front of the cameras. He wanted to be the tragic Alpha heir who made a difficult choice.But I refused to give him the shadows anymore."Aurelia, don't do this," he muttered, his voice a low. "You're upset. You're emotional. Just come backstage so we can settle this like adult partners.""Partners?" A sharp, broken laugh escaped my throat. "You left me standing here under a spotlight for ten minutes while you chased another woman pussy's down the corridor. There is no 'us' to settle in private, Zeph."From the back of the room, Lyra walked slowly down the center aisle, her crimson dress sweeping against the marble like an open wound. She stopped at the base of the stage, crossing her arms as she looked up at me with smugness."Zeph, just te

Aurelia's POV He stepped backwards, lengthening the distance between us.“Aurelia?" He gasped, his voice coming out in a half whisper."I guess you must know me, then,” I answered. "You got my name right. I heard somebody back there call you Zephyron too. Is that your name?”"Don't you remember me?” he asked, coming even closer.It was my turn to step backwards now, as I was suddenly more conscious of him. The restlessness and instability of his wolf and the dark circles under his sunken eyes made my own wolf rise in caution, growling and ready to jump at him if he was thinking of crossing any boundaries. I shut my eyes for a split second and breathed to calm my wolf. ‘We are stronger than him, Nyra’. Then I opened them again and looked at him.“Step back," I snapped.He stopped where he was, looking at me and panting. The muscle on the side of his face jumped, and he swallowed at the same time.“Aurelia… it's me. Zephyron—”"And I have acknowledged your name. What else do you want?

Talia I knew that it would be hard to easily get Aurelia back with everyone. Yet, I was still family even after her rebirth, and the only one who could know that on no account should Aurelia be suddenly reminded of her past life. It would take time, but it was expected that the memories would all come back to her and she would remember everything as it happened. If she was suddenly reminded of the memories, however, the experiences would all stretch her mentally with a force enough to physically compress her brain cells and cause them to rupture and then she would die again. My job was to make sure that no one who would remind her came near. And foolish Zephyron had somehow slipped past my hands. ** I cried once for Aurelia when I saw how fast she stuck to Zephyron. I met her and told her that I didn't want to see her break, then I watched as she walked away, held my tears until I reached the restroom, and let them fall for a long time. How could I be so helpless as to stand b

Talia's POV Girls like Shayla Dragomir and Gabrielle Morgan commanded power. They came from families who had it, and moved with those who held it, and only had a few who were above them to care about what they did, so when they said that no one was leaving until the necklace was found, the Academy stood still and a majority of the students had to wait. It was Friday, when the Academy closed early, so there were no professors around to maintain order—just the girls daring you to do otherwise. All of the junior students were searched, with their bags and lockers checked. The same went for the Senior Academy students, and then even their classmates too. Bags first, turned out and looked through. Then lockers later on, while they herded students like sheep. A junior boy who felt disrespected flew into a rage and let his wolf take control, and they were quick to put him down in a ruthless show of fighting ability. The students cheered at how quick they were, biting him and pulling hi
