Novel & Cerita Rejected Candy

“Do we want to—” “Hide the cookies?” Mex suggested, already moving. “Or present them since we ate part,” Michael countered, grabbing the plate. “Tribute is safer.” “Best to show her” I confirmed. The front door opened and Rebel came in loaded with grocery bags and cathedrals of fabric, Catya followed with a small smile. Rebel’s eyes went to me, then to the boys, then to the plate in Michael’s hands. “What did I miss?” she asked, suspiciously.

I tried to force a light laugh as I walked past her. “I think you need it, the alpha rejected in front of everyone and he wants me now.” She bragged immediately she grabbed my hands. I stared at her, still shocked and hurt by everything happening, I couldn’t believe she would do this and I didn’t know why she did. “I can’t talk to you right now.” I muttered weakly. My whole body trembled as I made my way home slowly, my mind was spinning. What was actually going on with me? In a span of hours, Nathan rejected me and my ex best friend is kissing and laying claims to someone who was once my mate.

“No cinnamon in stir-fry, Maddie. Trust me on this one.” “But you said ‘unique blend’ and ‘unexpected’!” I whined. Rook, meanwhile, had found the candy aisle. He was like a kid in a sweet shop, literally. He’d already tossed in three king-sized chocolate bars and a bag of gummy bears. “Fuel for the chef, right guys?” he grunted, winking at me. “Rook, we are *not* buying all that junk food,” Jax said, his tone firm. “But it’s important for morale!” Rook protested, already eyeing a bag of sour worms.

"And I already am in love with Hailey, and I can't leave her for a slave slut" He said his words hitting home. "So I'm here to reject you" My heart flipped into my stomach at the mention of rejection. "I Alpha Ethan Woodley rejects ye Elora Whiteford as my mate and luna" He said pain flashing in his eyes but was gone in a matter of seconds. "Accepting it would help reduce the pain" He said softly. Softly, who am I kidding? Ethan speaks to me softly. It seems like I'm going crazy already. "Uh alright-"

Jocelyn asked in disbelief. "Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it." He grinned as he held it out to her and shook the box. "Here. Try some." She reached in, took a handful, and popped some into her mouth. "Uummm! Not bad!" "Not bad?" Caden scoffed. "This is the best snack there is! A perfect combination of salty and sweet." He took a handful and shoved some into his mouth. "Yes-," he said between bites and swallowed. "Perfect."

“So she really rejected you?” Cassandra’s gentle voice floated from behind her cup of coffee. Her eyes gleamed with satisfaction, though her face was polished with a mask of concern. Adrian sat across the table, his face dark and heavy. He nodded slowly. “Yes… she rejected me. Not just rejected, Cass… she said I was the biggest mistake of her life.” Cassandra feigned shock, covering her mouth with her hand. “Oh my… Rosemary could be that cruel? I thought after everything you’ve done, she would at least soften a little.”

Cus looked back over his shoulder. "Whatever you want." "Anything?" Cus’s eyes went wide, his sharp features finally softening. "Within reason. As long as I can buy it or steal it without losing a limb." "Reese’s Cups. A bulk crate once a month." Kan stared. "Reese’s Cups?" The guy was definitely pulling his leg. He demanded high-end tequila from Timothy, but from Kan, he wanted gas station candy? Cus nodded, licking his lips. "The miniatures. So I don't get a sugar crash as fast."

A sharp intake of breath ran through the room, followed by whispers. "So he's finally compromising… Mr. Bassett actually softens sometimes." Another voice piped up, "See? Nothing beats public opinion." There was a hint of schadenfreude in the tone. "Yes," I continued. "Since the company's year-end bonus system doesn't satisfy everyone—everyone seems to think it's too little money and are envious of other companies' cherries…" The corner of my mouth curved into a faint smile. "The original year-end bonuses are canceled. This year, year-end benefits will be issued in cherries—fifty boxes per person. Two boxes a day, every day, until the New Year."

Could he get over the hurt of being turned down and be open to the idea of a second chance at love? Before he could think about it any more, a howl cut through the night sky and echoed through the Moonlit Meadow. Elder Matthias was asking for a meeting of the pack. Ethan and Amelia gave each other a knowing look, and then they both walked toward the group. The group sat down in a circle, their faces a mix of interest and excitement. Elder Matthias stood in the middle, ready to talk. He had gray fur and wise eyes. "My fellow pack members," he said, his voice full of power, "tonight is a night of discoveries and decisions. Gabriel Rivers, our leader, has admitted he was wrong and asked Ethan,
