Burned By My Ex, Reborn As His King's Mate Novels & Stories

"Traitor! Slave forever!" Today is my 18th birthday, the day I've been looking forward to. But now, I am being beaten, judged, humiliated and vilified... All because my brother, Benjamin, had quietly eloped with the Alpha King's fiancée. I, on the other hand, was left here, a target of the crowd, bearing all the guilt for them... *** Fortunately, I was not killed by those people, and even Alpha King interrogated me personally. "Is that you?" A low, sexy voice came from above me. When I looked up, I saw a magnificent creature walking towards my direction with his head up high and his Phoenix eyes were coldly looking at me. "MATE!!!" There's no doubt about it. He's my mate! Is he here t

"It's Rebecca's birthday today. Quit the drama, alright?" a voice muttered. The pain in my gut lingered as I snapped my eyes open. My boyfriend, Ezekiel Larsen, sat beside me, phone to his ear. I blinked, coming to realize that I had been reborn. In my past life, Ezekiel's childhood friend, Giselle Gibson, had called him, begging him to drop everything and come to her. He'd brushed her off, citing my birthday, and hung up. That rejection pushed her over the edge. She left a heart-wrenching suicide note, her words dripping with unrequited love for Ezekiel.

“And that is far worse.” I felt my heartbeat stutter. “What does that even mean?” Regina stepped back. “It means he sees you as his mate. His equal. His partner.” Mate. Again. Rejected by one mate. Claimed by another. “Emily,” Regina whispered, “you do not know what it means to be bound to a King. Their bond is not gentle. It does not ask permission. It rewrites your life. Your fate.” Matteo added, “And a bond with him could awaken your wolf in ways that could destroy you.”

And then, I gave birth to a half-beast white dragon, our son Charles. As the first half-beast child born from the human-beast union, Charles naturally became the next leader of the Human-Beast Alliance. Alice, enamored by the tiger clan's beauty, had chosen their heir, James. But she didn't expect him to be a shameless womanizer, constantly entangled with other lovers. Eventually, she contracted a disease because of him—one that left her infertile and scorned by the tiger clan. She blamed me for her misfortune, jealous that I had lived a better life than she did. One night, she drugged me in secret and set a fire that burned both me and Charles alive.

Memories of my final moments flitted through my mind, of the way he held me still so I could die quicker…so I wouldn't fight it. My jaw worked, forcing the bitter words to the surface. “The only mistake I made…was marrying you.” His eyes grew wide with disbelief, and in that moment, he knew —I was not his Calista anymore. I was Calista Winslow, heiress to the Winslow Empire, and his fucking boss. “Merrick Fairfax,” I folded my hands across my chest, “You are fired. My men will escort you off my property—” “ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?” He howled, veins popping on his temple.

In my previous life, I died on what should have been my most glorious day. I had finally created a cure for silver poisoning - the Moonbloom herb formula. Standing in my ceremonial robes as the new Chief Healer, I waited to complete my marking ceremony with my mate Daniel. Then he recoiled from my touch: "I won't mark a thief and a bully as my mate." My wolf howled in agony at the rejection, our spirit shattering. Through the haze of pain, Sarah stepped forward. Looking up with tear-filled eyes, she smiled: "Remember me, Vivian? The one you bullied and stole from for twelve years."

For him, my wolf had been severely injured and gone into dormancy. In his eyes, this had become "completely irresponsible." So in his heart, I had always been utterly worthless. How could he ever truly love me? I put down my phone. I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Just as dawn was breaking, Kane's call came through. "My Queen, did you sleep well?" His voice carried barely contained excitement. "I just landed in Europe. I was so excited on the fifteen-hour flight I couldn't sleep at all. I still can't believe you've actually become my mate."

Ever since Harris' ascension, he had faced pressure from the council of elders and even his Beta, Malakai, to find a Luna for the pack. Several mating balls were held but it all ended in broken anticipations and disappointment. It was my first time attending the mating ball ceremony because I've been deprived of the privilege of attending because of my status—an outcast and an omega. My father was framed for treason and because of that, he was executed and afterwards my mother disappeared leaving me with my aunt, Malicia, who treated me like I wasn't one of them—like I didn't belong.

Then, with unwavering clarity, I said the words that would shatter whatever was left between us. “I, Diana Gilbert, reject you, Kevin Dickinson, as my mate.” Pain. It was instant and sharp, like claws raking through my soul, severing a bond that had once been unbreakable. My knees buckled, the agony momentarily robbing me of breath— But strong arms caught me before I could fall. Alpha David. His grip was steady, his warmth grounding me. I forced myself to look at Kevin one last time, my voice unwavering. “Alpha Kevin, I am no longer your fated mate. From now on, I only ask that you stay far away from me.”

“What do you mean *my* ex? I didn't write this book! I'm in the body of your current girlfriend's character, but the original Mei Ling is the one who had a crush on you. I had nothing to do with it.” “So I’m stuck in the body of your ex, while your current husband is the literal Alpha King of the pack?” Michael countered, raising an eyebrow. “Duh!” I whispered, rolling my eyes dynamically. “If you had actually watched the series with me instead of refusing, you would know that the King is my forced husband, and you are just the childhood attachment I was taken away from.” “I know all of that now from the fragments of memory in this guy’s head,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “But how
