After Rejection Novel Nala Novels & Stories

Maybe this was my normal now. I reached my dorm and climbed the stairs. Once inside, I dropped my gym bag beside my bed and fell backward onto the mattress. I stared at the ceiling. "Okay." I smiled. "Today was normal." Nyla didn't answer. I frowned. "Don't ruin this for me." Still nothing. I sat up. "Nyla?" Silence. I waited. Then, finally, her voice came. Something is coming.

When I stood and rose from the ground, an overripe tomato hit me on the side of my face. That feeling stung more than ever, because I needed to accept his rejection. “I, Nora Hale Quinn, accept your rejection,” I gritted out. When I left, I was faced with sneers and judgemental looks on my way out of the territory, a hand on my swollen belly.

Aiden cautioned. "But she just rejected us!” Caden yelled. “And we have the power to stop that, don't we?” Aiden stated. “So, what you're saying is?” Jayden asked. “We need to reject her rejection, simple!” Caden said. Just as Caden said this they all stood in front of me. “Alana Reeva, we the Alphas of the Blood Rose Pack, reject your rejection!." Once they said the words, I felt a terrible burning in my chest.

Kael's POV I could not sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind drifted to her. Lila standing against that shelf. Her eyes full of anger. Her hand against my chest. The words she had left me with still lodged beneath my ribs. "I'd rather feel the pain of a rejection bond ten times over than trust you." I had heard worse things in my life. I had been threatened by wolves twice my size, challenged by Alphas who wanted my territory, and watched men die because they had underestimated the consequences of crossing Nightbane.

I would confront everything he thought he knew about strength, power, and the consequences of rejection. The night fell across the peaks, silvering the snow and rocks with a cold, brilliant light. I lay beside the river once more, staring at the reflection of the stars in the water. My body ached, battered and bruised, but my mind was alive, sharp, and focused. I whispered to the night, to the wind, to the mountains: I am not the girl you rejected. I am stronger, wiser, and I will return. And when I do, the world will remember the name Elara. The bond pulsed softly, a steady reminder of Kael’s presence, distant yet undeniable. And for the first time, I did not fear it. I had endured, adapted

“You want a bold Luna? Then maybe you should’ve chosen differently. Maybe that’s why the Moon Goddess gave me a mate before you, someone who rejected me. Maybe she knew I wasn’t meant for this life, not for you.” His jaw tightened, shoulders rigid, but his silence was worse than anger. I spun on my heel, storming past him before my tears betrayed me. My wolf howled inside, torn between running back and running far, far away. But I didn’t look back. Not this time. ******* Zaiden’s POV Her words echoed long after she left each one striking with more force than any blade. Rejected once. Nearly rejected again. And all because I hadn’t been strong enough to shield her from doubt my own or the pac

Amelia stumbled back, eyes wide in shock and agony. The pain slammed into her chest like a flaming blade. It stole her breath, tore through her soul. Her eyes searched his, desperately for warmth, for regret… anything. But there was nothing. Only a cold, empty void. She gasped, a choked sound, as pain tore through her chest. The bond between them was unraveling, violently, viciously. Aiden was watching her. Distant. Detached. As if daring her to break. “I, Former Luna of Red Moon Park, accept your rejection, Alpha Aiden Miller,” she whispered.

Alpha Gulther dismissed me, and I left his office feeling ashamed. I went back to my room feeling incredibly ashamed of myself for what I had done. Nia had always been there for me, and I had betrayed her trust by attempting to escape the Pack. I knew that she must be disappointed in me for not confiding in her and for not trusting her to help me. As I lay there in my bed, I felt a sense of loneliness wash over me. I missed my family and my old life, but I knew that there was no going back now. I had made my bed, and now I would have to lie in it.

“You had us worried when you disappeared a couple of days ago.” I swallowed hard, keeping my voice steady, “I’m sorry about that. I needed some time to think. I wasn’t sure about the contest at first, but I’ve… changed my mind. I want to go through with it now. I’m ready.” The guards exchanged quick glances, then relaxed visibly. One of them even smiled, the tension easing from his face, “That’s good to hear, Lady Alicia. Alpha Baltimore would be furious if you quit.” Alpha Baltimore was Blue River Pack’s Alpha, Alicia’s father. I nodded, relieved that they hadn’t picked up on anything strange.

Nolan stared at me like he has seen a ghost. "Are you been serious right now?" He asked me I nodded. "I will be your luna for a while" He frowned. "I don't want you as my luna, ok. I've got a new mate" I batted my lashes. "That's isn't possible. You can't get a new mate when I haven't reject you" "Point of correction. You did. I was the one who had not accepted it"
