Todos os capítulos de The Rejected Female Alpha : Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

I did not wait around to hear what Adrian was going to say to Rosalie because whatever came out of his mouth after rejecting me in front of the entire pack could only make things worse, and I had already given them enough of a show for one night.I pushed through the crowd with my head lowered, ignoring the whispers that followed me all the way across the clearing. Somebody laughed behind me, somebody else whispered my name, and I heard Rosalie's voice rising over the noise as she demanded that Adrian explain himself, but I kept walking because if I turned around, I knew I was going to do something stupid, and I was already dangerously close to doing something stupid enough to make my father disown me.I reached the trees before the first tear escaped then I wiped it away angrily and another one came.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, pressing the heel of my palm against my eyes while I stumbled deeper into the forest. “Why did I have to cry now, of all times?”The answer was pro

Rosalie was still standing in my doorway, staring at the pregnancy test in my hand, and for several seconds neither of us said anything because I was too busy trying to understand how she had managed to get there without me hearing her while she was apparently busy witnessing the biggest disaster of my life.Why did the fuck didn't I shut the door?!!Her eyes moved from my face to the test, then down to the half-packed bag on my bed, and something slowly changed in her expression.“Is that Adrian's?” she finally asked, and the softness in her voice made my stomach turn because Rosalie had never sounded soft when she had something cruel to say.I closed my fingers around the test.“You should leave my room.”She stepped inside instead, then she reached behind herself and quietly closed the door. The click of the lock sounded much louder than it should have.“Don't insult me by pretending I didn't see what you're holding, Elena, because I have been watching you for weeks and I have watc

I had always believed that when wolves surrounded their prey, the only question left was how long it would take them to attack. That night, standing alone beyond Blood Moon territory with my back pressed against a pine tree, I discovered there were exceptions to everything I had ever been taught.The wolves emerged between the trees without making a sound. Their eyes reflected the moonlight, pale gold and amber, while their enormous bodies moved through the undergrowth with a confidence that made my stomach tighten. I counted five at first, then seven, until another shadow separated itself from the darkness behind them. They were larger than ordinary wolves, their shoulders nearly level with my waist, and their coats ranged from charcoal gray to almost pure black.I had no weapon, no protection, and nowhere to run that they could not follow. My legs still ached from the journey, and the fear I had been fighting since leaving Blood Moon threatened to overwhelm the last of my strength.

I kept my hand on the door handle and listened to the stranger on the other side, wondering how she had discovered my name and why her warning sounded more like a promise than a threat.“Open the door, Elena,” she said quietly. “If I wanted to drag you back to Blood Moon, I wouldn't be standing here alone.”I hated that her words made sense. After everything I had endured, trusting a stranger seemed foolish, but remaining in the boarding house while someone searched for me was equally dangerous. I unlocked the door without removing the chain and opened it just far enough to see a woman in her late thirties standing beneath the corridor lamp. She wore a dark jacket over a plain shirt, and her brown hair was tied back carelessly. There was nothing particularly threatening about her appearance, although her steady gaze suggested she was accustomed to making decisions without waiting for permission.“My name is Mara Quinn,” she said. “I own a veterinary clinic a few miles from here, near

The first time I realized that I could be useful without being tolerated, a frightened puppy fell asleep against my lap while I cleaned the wound on its paw.I had spent most of my life trying to earn a place in rooms where nobody wanted me. At Blood Moon, even the simplest task could become an opportunity for Garrick to remind me of my supposed shortcomings, while Rosalie seemed to take personal satisfaction in making sure I never forgot that I was different. At Mara Quinn's clinic, however, nobody cared whether I could shift, whether an Alpha had rejected me, or whether my bloodline was considered worthy. The animals needed help, and I was learning how to give it.The puppy had been brought in that morning by a farmer who found it limping beside the road. It was small enough to fit across my forearms, with muddy brown fur and a white patch beneath its chin. Mara had cleaned the wound and explained how to change the dressing, but the animal kept trembling whenever anyone approached.
