Holding Grudges

’Your husband is cheating on you.’ At first, Layla Spencer thought it was a stupid prank. Then her phone flooded with photo after photo until the screen was full. In every shot, Dylan Hall and Lily Spencer were all over each other, completely wrapped up in their own little world. They were making out in the car Layla was still paying off, hugging at the top of the Ferris wheel, and holding hands at the base of Mount Hilaya, a place Layla had always dreamed of visiting. Layla’s stomach dropped. Could Dylan really be cheating on her?

Fresh out of college, Clara Stewart asked me to take on a $500,000 mortgage for her. When I refused, she turned around and bought an $800,000 villa in full, for another guy. Holding up the property deed, she told me: "Jayden, the truth is, I'm actually rich. I've been pretending to be poor to test you. Unfortunately, you failed. I'm disappointed in you. Let's break up." I simply smiled and walked away without a second thought. The irony? I'm the son of the richest man in the country. I was pretending to be broke, too. Fast forward four years, we met again at the National Wealth Summit. Clara had just barely made it into the top 50 on the list, clinging to the arm of Henry Brown as they entered. She spotted me in simple clothes with no visible brand, holding a child in one arm and the keys to a Porsche Cayenne in the other. Thinking I was someone's driver, she sneered: "Jayden, you really went all out just to see me again? Let's be real, you're just a driver now, and I'm on the wealth list. We live in completely different worlds. Don't waste your time fantasizing." I did not bother replying. Honestly, I was only there because my billionaire dad insisted. I had finally cleared a day to spend with my son and now I had to waste it on that.

"I, Jeremy Rock, Alpha of the Rock River Pack, reject you, Aiana Steel, as my mate..." He said those words, and I didn't even know the particular emotion that I felt the more. Disappointment? Hatred? Or shame? Again, someone else didn't want me. When Alpha Jeremy Rock cast aside his fated mate, Aiana Steel who was a powerful yet broken hybrid, Aiana had assumed it was because she was a "defective" werewolf, one who couldn’t even shift due to her inherited warlock abilities. But that wasn't it as Jeremy’s rejection wasn’t out of disgust. It was a sacrifice, meant to shield her from dark forces within his own pack, forces that would destroy her if they discovered her true power. Yet fate refused to let them go their separate ways. Aiana’s rejection curse is killing her slowly, and Jeremy’s long buried enemies have become confidence by the day. Together, they face a choice, either to walk away from their bond, or be united and conquer the shadows of their past. As old grudges resurfaced and unexpected alliances are formed which threatens to tear them apart, Jeremy must decide on whether to abandon his quest to avenge his parents' murder to save his dying mate. And Aiana was left to chose between surrendering her wolf side to survive the rejection, or fight back and risk everything. Dive into The Lyncan's Fated Hybrid Mate, an electrifying, suspense filled romance that takes two scarred souls on a journey of survival, vengeance, and love that defies all odds.

I was sitting at the police station. My landlord scolded me harshly and pointed at my nose. Out of nowhere, my mother called and berated me mercilessly. “Chloe went to your place and disappeared! Did you lose her?!” “I know you’ve had grudges against me and your brother all these years, but how could you take it out on your niece?” In my previous cycle, when my mother told me Chloe was missing, I panicked and searched for her everywhere. Instead of helping, my mom and brother’s entire family dragged me to court without hesitation. I could not understand it. Chloe disappeared on her way to my place. How was that my fault? I begged the police to clear my name and review all the surveillance footage in the city. But the footage showed Chloe arriving at my door that day, and I opened the door for her. After that, she was gone, as if she had vanished into thin air. I stared blankly at the footage of her hopping cheerfully into my apartment. I had no way to explain myself. My sister-in-law lost it. She was convinced I had killed Chloe and threw boiling oil at my face in a fit of rage. I ended up in the hospital. I was disfigured and completely crushed, both physically and emotionally. No matter how hard I tried, I could not recall ever opening the door for Chloe. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Chloe disappeared.
