Once Rejected Novels & Stories

Four days. Only four days. Otto came forward, his grin lopsided. "What if I won't?" he queried, voice dripping with false innocence. The elders scowled at him. "Then you forfeit your claim to the title," snapped Elder Gregor. "You will lose rank, land, authority. You will leave this pack with nothing." Otto's jaw locked. His fists tightened. But he bowed stiffly. "I accept." I glanced at Damon. He had not moved an inch.

I can see the fear in her eyes as I stand before her. “I, Alpha Dean Smith, reject you, Tamara Brown, you pathetic little orphan, as my mate and Luna,” I say. I have plans for this pack, and I first want to eliminate all the pathetic wolves in my pack. I can not believe that the Moon Goddess played such a trick on me by giving me the most pathetic she-wolf in his pack as my mate. “I, Tamara Brown, accept your rejection, Alpha Dean Smith. I may be a pathetic orphan in your eyes, but my parents gave their lives for your pack,” Tamara says. I am furious! How dare she not beg me to make her stay?

I would not be able to handle another rejection. "W–what are you saying?" I gasped in tears. "You heard me properly and I believe your mind is mature enough to understand that you should prepare for my rejection tomorrow" Alpha Trent said coldly. I had never seen such coldness from him before. There was no single warmth in his eyes, there was nothing but darkness and void. "Why do you want to reject me?" I asked with tears rolling down my cheeks. "I owe you no explanation to my decisions, I need you to pre–"

“What is it?” “It’s… from Marcus’s pack.” I leaned back in my chair. “Good. Tell me he’s agreed to the merger terms.” Vance’s silence was answer enough. My jaw stiffened. “Say it.” “They rejected the proposal.” For a second, the words didn’t register. My fingers froze midair, the pen between them falling soundlessly onto the desk. Rejected. Marcus? Reject me? I laughed under my breath—a humorless laugh. “You must be mistaken. Marcus wouldn’t dare reject my proposal. Not after all the resources we’ve offered in this agreement.”

“Rita, how do you undo a rejection?” “Did you accept the rejection?” “No. Never. But she definitely rejected me.” “Do you blame her?” “No. No, I don’t. I blame myself.” “An unaccepted rejection is easy to undo. Just be with her and let her accept you on her terms. Then, the bond will be good as new. I must get going now. I need to pack a few things before our trip.” “Trip? What are you talking about?” “We are going to Onyx Moon, are we not?”

The weight of the girl's rejection as his Mate pressed down upon him, a bitter pill to swallow. "I reject you as my Mate," she declared, her words piercing the silence. Adam's gaze dropped to his feet, a mix of sadness and resignation etched upon his face. The pain of the rejection seared through his heart, but he knew that accepting it was the only path forward. His voice steady, Adam replied, "I accept the rejection." It was a solemn affirmation, an acknowledgment of the love that would forever remain unfulfilled. The girl's smile, though tinged with a touch of sadness, spoke volumes of her gratitude for his understanding.

"Who the hell are you saying is broke? I’m an ally of the Steele Pack! We hold the majority of this sector! How could I possibly not afford this pittance?" As soon as the words left her mouth, the clerk returned with her credit stone, looking nervous. "Ms. Moore, the transaction has been rejected. You’ve exceeded your monthly limit." Candace screeched, "What do you mean rejected? How can that be?" "The stone won't glow, Ms. Moore."

If there are any complaints, just try to avoid them and still accept them. Monique: Just know this. There is no option to reject them. As I watched the damning evidence unfold before my eyes, I couldn't help but gasp in horror. Caspian must have heard me, for he stopped in his tracks and turned to face me, a smug grin on his face. "I forgot to tell you," he said in a confident tone. "You cannot reject any of us. I guess it won't be my last night in your life after all."

“It’s not.” --- Ariana’s voice dropped. “Victor…” Victor didn’t look away. “It’s already filtering,” he said quietly. --- Roman let out a short breath. “So what, I’m failing the test now?” Daniel glanced at him briefly. “Not failing,” he said. A pause. “Just not aligned.” --- The word hit harder than expected. Not aligned. Not wrong. Not rejected. Just… not included. --- Roman’s expression hardened slightly. “Yeah, I’m definitely not liking this system.”

he added. I covered my eyes for a moment, "Forgive me, Doctor, please continue," I insisted, sitting back down, keeping my eyes on Maliyla. I watched as her gaze drifted straight into a blank abyss. Dr. Neal smiled warmly before she spoke, "What I meant was that sometimes, when a rejection takes place, the one that is reciting the words of rejection doesn't stay around long enough to give the other time to accept; in this case, the bond is only severed on one side, not both." Dr. Neal explained calmly.
