Once Rejected Twice Desired Novels & Stories

“I turned it down.” The smiles around the table disappeared almost immediately. “You… what?” Aunt Margaret asked, clearly surprised. “I declined the offer.” “But why?” she asked gently. “Isn’t this everything you’ve been working towards?” I rested my hands on my lap, taking a moment before answering. “Five years ago, I left New York with nothing except Liam. I came here broken and afraid. I had no idea how I was going to survive, let alone build a new life.” I looked around the dining table, my heart filling with gratitude. “But London gave me a second chance. This city became my home. I built my company here. Liam grew up here. We found peace here.” My eyes met Aunt Margaret’s. “I don’t wan

That tiny piece of metal held the financial records that would destroy everything Adrian loved. I didn't want closure. I wanted to make him feel exactly what it felt like to be completely rejected. I grabbed my coat and stepped out into the night, ready to start the fire.

Senator Jerry said, as he knew that Noah was still angry with him, because he had declined his wife partnering with the Kingston Pharmaceutical in the past. The Tommy Pharmaceutical was owned by Senator Jerry's wife, Felicia Tommy, and because of Senator Jerry's refusal then, Noah had this deep resentment for him. "I wasn't aware of when we became friends. You once declined your wife helping me in the past, thinking that I wanted to snatch her from you because of her beauty. So, tell me, why are you here—to snatch mine?" Mr. Noah asked coldly, and Samuel's eyes widened in shock as he walked toward the stairs.

Dean says. "We rejected each other. What part of that don't you understand? Go on and look for your second chance mate. I do not give a shit. If it depends on me, I will never have a mate. I like my independence and want what I can do for my Pack. They need me more than you need me. They will always need me, but you can have any mate you want. I was not good enough for you when you thought I was weak. Then you realize I am an Alpha wolf. And now you want me as your mate. I don't believe you have feeling for me. I think you want a strong mate, and that is it. Look for a strong mate somewhere else because this one will not be your mate," I say.

Just when I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, he abruptly released his grip on my throat. "I know you can't kill me. After all, I'm your mate," I mocked with a smug smile. His expression turned blank, unspoken words lingering on his lips as he locked eyes with me. "…So, you have become a full-blown chicken, huh? Since you know, what the hell do you want from me?" he demanded, raising his voice. I scoffed in surprise. "I don't want anything from you, especially not to be your mate," I retorted. "I, Aurora Starkwood, reject you, Alpha Finn Blackthorn, as my mate," I declared, my voice firm.

But I couldn't give him that, not now, not after everything that had happened. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. Marcus flinched, his shoulders sagging. "I... I just wanted to talk, Amanda. Please, just hear me out." I shook my head, my hands curling into fists at my sides. "I don't want to hear it, Marcus. Not now, not ever." He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. "Please, Amanda, just give me a chance to explain. I know I messed up, but I need you to understand..."

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–"

I could feel it. ‘He is our second chance. The goddess has gifted us with him after being rejected.’ ‘The goddess, the goddess, the goddess! Why does everyone think highly of her?’ I asked while the tears that I had been hiding rushed out of my eyes as Ansel panted and moaned before me, being pleased by another woman and not me.

The second Saturday was different from the first. Not worse. Just different in the way that second times are always different from first times because the novelty has settled and what remains is something more honest and therefore more complicated. Lily wanted the same park. Same climbing structure. Same coffee cart. Same formation walking there with both hands held. He was a creature of decided preferences and once he decided something was correct he saw no reason to vary it. Nora was fine with all of that. What she had not anticipated was running into Marcus.

“You think walking away keeps you clean?” My Voice is soft, almost gentle—the calm before something devastating. “That's not how this works. Not in my city.” I nod once to Kade, who pulls away from the curb. The Aston Martin glides into traffic. Kade watches me in the mirror. I break the silence. “She Rejected me… twice. That’s not something that happens. Not even once.” Frustrating to say the least. Kade laughs silently under his breath. “She doesn’t seem like most women, they’re all usually throwing themselves at you.”
