Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha I Rejected Was My Fated Mate: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

Eleanor Winslow's POVI was the only daughter of the Alpha of the Moonveil Pack, and its future Luna.My mother died when I was young, leaving my father to shoulder the responsibility of leading the entire pack alone. His greatest fear had always been that everything he built would crumble after he was gone.So when I was five, he personally selected two young werewolves and brought them to our estate.To everyone else, they were his adopted sons. Only the three of us knew the truth.They were candidates to become my future mates—Elliot Hawthorne and Leon Blackwood.Elliot was all warmth and fire. He would stand in line for two hours just to buy my favorite orange souffle, then tuck the box inside his coat to keep it warm on the way home. By the time he placed it in my hands, the top would still be soft and airy, as though it had just come out of the oven.Leon was the complete opposite. He was cold, distant, and impossible to approach. We lived under the same roof for ten yea

Eleanor Winslow's POVThere was, in fact, someone else—Sterling Alistair.Calling the Silvermoon Pack the most powerful member of the Pack Alliance would have been an understatement; Sterling stood at the very top of it.He carried one of the purest werewolf bloodlines in existence. Rumor had it that on the day he came of age, the Council of Elders personally approached him and asked him to take his place as Alpha King of the Pack Alliance.The news sent every pack scrambling.One after another, they presented their most eligible she-wolf to Sterling, all hoping to secure a marriage alliance with the future Alpha King.He rejected every single one.Instead, he sent only two things to the Winslow estate—a letter and a ring set with a wolf's fang.The letter contained only a few lines. "You are my destined Luna. You don't have to give me an answer now. I'll wait until you're ready to make your choice."Back then, I hadn't even bothered to reply.I sent the ring back untouched a

Eleanor Winslow's POVAlistair dipped his head slightly and held out his hand, palm up.I didn't keep him waiting. With a smile, I placed my hand in his. "Okay."His fingers closed around mine. To everyone's astonishment, the usual severity in his expression softened, and the faintest hint of a smile touched his lips.Everyone in the ballroom stared at us in disbelief.The Alistair they knew was ruthless. He was the kind of man who never had to apologize, because everyone else was always the one apologizing to him.Most werewolves weren't even important enough to earn an audience with him."This is impossible!" Vivian's shriek rang through the ballroom. Realizing she'd dropped her helpless little act, she quickly softened her voice. "I-I mean… Alpha Alistair, are you sure you haven't been deceived?"She hurried forward, too agitated to keep pretending to be weak. "Ms. Eleanor has been arrogant and cruel since she was a child. She treats the servants terribly. Please don't let h

Eleanor Winslow's POVCuriosity got the better of me. "What did you say to Leon? He looked devastated."Alistair lowered his gaze to me, a distinctly jealous note creeping into his voice. "You're already my fiancee, and you're still worrying about another werewolf? Think about me instead."My face reddened.Was this really Alistair Sterling, the ruthless head of the Sterling family everyone feared? Why was he getting jealous like some lovesick teenager?"You really don't remember me." His voice suddenly lost its teasing edge. Alistair lowered his head against my neck, sounding almost dejected."What?" Before I could make sense of his words, he reached into the inside pocket of his suit and pulled something out. It was a damaged butterfly brooch.He placed it carefully in my palm.The moment I looked down at it, a long-forgotten memory came rushing back. My eyes widened. "Wait... you're the boy who took me in all those years ago?" When I was five, I snuck out on the anniversar
