once rejected, twice desired by diane doherty

"Spread your legs, little omega slut," he said to me. "I am sorry, there are rules here, sir. We do not sleep with customers here." "Who made those rules?" he asked, whirling the wine in his glass. "The owner of this place," I replied, irritated by all the unnecessary questions. "Who is the owner of this place?" "Mr. Killian Cabello." I replied tersely. This man was arrogant and wanted to defile the rules to show me he could do whatever he wanted. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to me. "I usually do not give out my card to the likes of you but look at it." I looked at the card and saw his name written boldly on it. He was the owner of this place. He made those rules and is willing to break them now? My eyes widened at the realization. I looked at him. "You are Killian Cabello?" He smirked devilishly. "Now, spread your legs, Omega."

"I know your family, Anna Kylin!" He spat out my surname like it was hot potatoes. "And you have a lot of guts coming here." He turned away and spoke to two men whom I had not noticed. "Take her to the dungeons. I will extract whatever information I can from her and dump her back in the river where she will be sent to her family. It should be a lesson to them never to send a spy to my pack." ~~~~~~~~~~ Anna Kylin was shocked when she found out she was pregnant. But from previous tests, Her chosen mate and husband, Alpha Rick, was known to be impotent. After accusing her of being a cheating whore, he finds his fated mate and proceeds to toss Anna aside. Despaired and broken, Anna breaks all bonds and leaves the pack. She stumbles into the territory of her family's archrival and into the hands of the bloodthirsty ruthless lycan king. Mitch Chester, ruthless Lycan King, is often rumored to be 100% beast and 0% human. He bears a generational grudge against anyone from the inland packs, especially the pack that was led by the Kylins. So he was pleasured when the first daughter of his enemy fell into his pack, but there is something about Anna that makes his beast purr like a housecat. What will happen in this entwining loop of fate and love? What will happen when Mitch finds out that Anna was his fated mate all along but she carries the child of another man? When a dreadful plague sweeps through the packs, killing people, but there is only one person with the brains to cure the illness, and when Anna's ex-husband needs her help but instead meets two children that are his striking resemblance, how would he react?

I was rejected by my best friend at my 18th coming-of-age ceremony. “What I seek in a mate is a female warrior like your mother, not... not someone like you." Not someone like me, a mute, an omega with no fighting capability. I struggled to compose myself, holding back tears, continuing to communicate silently with gestures。 Why? Kevin, it wasn't my fault that I wasn't as strong a beta as my mother. He sighed, shifting his gaze away from me, the laughter from the werewolves in the audience almost knocked down my self-esteem. ----Many years later, Alpha Kevin meets his mute mate again. He will pay a heavy price and regret for his mistake in rejecting her when he was young. Ella, she looks like a useless Omega, but in fact she is a poisoner. After her mother died to protect Kevin, she decided to become a she-wolf who is loyal to herself.

“I want you, please...hot...help me...” I grabbed the Lycan King's shirt and pulled him towards me, kissing him passionately. He hesitated for a moment, then held me even closer… I never expected that after being betrayed, slandered, and drugged by my ex-Alpha husband and half-sister, the King would be the one to save me. What surprised me even more was that I ended up pregnant with his child after that wonderful night. When I discovered he was plotting to kill me for his fiancée, I ran away. “Come back to me, Eden,” his Lycan Aura made me shiver uncontrollably. “No!” I bit my lip, insisting, “If you don't love me, you should let me go.” His dangerously captivating eyes locked onto mine, and he said gently, "You broke my curse, how could I let you leave?" Curse? What curse? “That's my secret,” he held my waist, whispering softly in my ear, “and I know yours too, Love. Let me help you awaken.”
