All Chapters of Rejected By My Alpha Mate : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Chapter 2The forest was dark and cold, but I kept running. Branches scratched my legs. My pink dress tore. My feet bled. But I did not stop. I could still hear Mia's laughter in my head. I could still see Kaden's face - that look of disgust when he realized I was his mate. My chest burned. The rejection pain was like fire inside me. Every rejected wolf feels it. It feels like dying. Like someone has cut the bond with a hot knife and left you bleeding inside. Then I fell. I tripped over a root and crashed to the ground. I could not get up. I was too tired. Too broken. My tears mixed with the dirt on my face. "Leave me here," I whispered to the night. "Just leave me. I have nothing left." No. That voice again. The voice from the ceremony. Get up, Zara. You are not weak. You never were. "Who are you?" I cried, holding my chest. "Why are you talking to me? I don't have a wolf. Everyone said so. For eighteen years, everyone said I was wolfless." Everyone lied. Or they were too b

Chapter 4The drive back to Silver Moon Pack felt like a lifetime. My black car moved slowly through the forest road I had run through three years ago, barefoot and crying, with a torn dress and bleeding feet. Now I was sitting in the back seat, in a designer dress, with a driver, with money in my account, with power. But my heart was still beating fast. My hands were shaking a little, even though I tried to hide it. Calm down, Nyx whispered in my mind, her voice warm and strong. You are not that girl anymore. Remember who you are. "I know," I whispered back, looking out of the window at the trees rushing past. "I am Zara. I am the Moon Wolf. I am not afraid." But the truth was, I was afraid. Not of Kaden. Not of Mia. I was afraid of what I would feel when I saw them again. Would my heart still break? Would the mate bond still hurt? Would I still be that weak girl who wanted Kaden to love her? Three years in the city had changed me. I had built a business from nothing. I had lea

Chapter 6 The rogues came like a storm. I ran out of the pack house with Kaden, and what I saw made my blood freeze. There were at least fifty rogues, huge black wolves with red eyes, attacking the pack border. Our warriors were fighting, but they were tired, injured, and outnumbered. Houses were burning. Women were screaming. Children were crying. "They came for the Moon Wolf," Nyx whispered. "They can smell you. They have been waiting for you to return." My heart dropped. "This is my fault? They attacked because of me?" No. They attacked because they are greedy. They want your power. But now that you are here, you can stop them. Kaden shifted into his wolf in front of me - a massive black wolf, bigger than any wolf I had ever seen. His wolf, Drak, roared so loud the ground shook. "Stay behind me, Zara!" he shouted through the mind-link. But I did not stay behind him. I stepped forward, closed my eyes, and let Nyx take over. My body shifted. Bones cracked. Fur grew. But this

Chapter 8 I did not sleep. Even after the battle, even after my body screamed for rest, my eyes would not close. Nyx would not let me. Wake up. He is still there. I sat up in my old bed. The room was dark, cold, and smelled of dust. The same room I had cried in for three years before I ran away. Nothing had changed. Except me. I walked to the window. And I saw them. Two red eyes. Far away, between the black trees at the edge of the forest. They were not blinking. They were not moving. They were just watching me. My heart started to beat fast. "Nyx, what is that?" I whispered. _Not a rogue,_ Nyx answered, her voice low and careful. _Rogues smell like rot and blood. This one smells like... power. Old power. Like us._ A shiver ran down my spine. I grabbed Kaden's jacket from the chair and slipped outside. The pack house was quiet. Warriors were sleeping by the fire. Healers were sleeping beside the injured. No one saw me leave. The night air was cold against my skin. The mo
