Michaela Matthews

“Oh my darling Uncle”. I said while hugging him as he was backing me. “Uncle?”. A different voice asked and it seems to come from the person I'm hugging. He turned around with me in his arms and I stared into his eyes. Dark eyes. Uncle Max's eyes are blue, like mine. I let go of him immediately like I had been burned and blushed furiously. “Uhm, sorry. I thought you… were my uncle”. I told him. A chuckle brought my attention back to his handsome face. “Hello cutie, why do you think your uncle is here?” He said, his voice sending shivers down my body. *** Happiness Matthews, a 19-year-old college freshman, thought she had everything figured out when she left her small Texas town for the bright lights of California. But after a dangerous security guard targets her in her new apartment, she has to move in with Mason, her uncle's friend, who she met two years ago at his wedding. Mason, a man in his thirties still haunted by the woman who left him at the altar two years ago, never expected to share his home with his best friend’s niece. At first, their living arrangement seems like a temporary inconvenience—but the longer they stay under the same roof, the harder it becomes to ignore the magnetic tension building between them. As the lines between family and desire blur, Happiness finds herself drawn to the man who carries both charm and a painful past. But with every passing day, the unspoken rules become more difficult to follow, and a dangerous truth about Mason’s past threatens to tear them both apart. In a story where forbidden attraction and unresolved heartbreak collide, Happy must choose between loyalty, family, love, and her own future—before the stakes get even higher

The word Rejection sits heavy. My heart felt heavy at the word considering I had just found out I was his mate, I had just got my wolf, Mina. I was not supposed to mate with an Alpha I'm an Omega living an Omega life. I'm what they would call a slave to the pack and their usual punching bag. Not saying anything to me beforehand or giving me the decency to reject me in private, Zade took it upon himself to reject me in the light of day with everyone at the dinner table. I don't eat with them. I don't eat much anyway because I'm not allowed to but when he announced for me to join I knew I had no choice. His Alpha tone rooted me on the spot. "I, Zade Matthews, Alpha of the HighClaw pack, Reject you, Sierra Whitmore to be my mate and Luna to my pack. You are to work here and obey every command and to accept my rejection" he said it all without so much as a flinch. I knew this because my heart flinched. My heart broke but I stood my ground and I repeated what he wanted me to repeat before heading out of the house. To break in silence. 6 Years later, The mate-less Gala was just around the corner and I was tired. I was exhausted and I had nothing to live for. I had nothing to hope for. Every Omega knows they don't get a second chance at love. Five minutes was all I wanted to when cleaning the room on the very top floor for the Alpha's of all Alpha's so I stopped and sat down to rest my aching body. Only...the scent of all scents hits me. An Alpha scent. Alpha Nikolai Anderson.
