Sacred Reject Novels & Stories

And that was enough. The air around us crackled with unnatural energy, and I felt the forest itself recoil from what I'd done, the ancient trees seeming to lean away in horror. Rejecting a rejection was forbidden, an abomination against the natural order, a violation of the sacred laws that governed our kind. But I didn't care. I had already crossed so many lines, what was one more transgression added to my growing list of sins?

I felt stripped bare beneath that scrutiny, every flaw and inadequacy exposed for all to see. I opened my mouth to speak, to say something, anything— "I don't care," he interrupted coldly. "Whatever this bond is, I reject it." Gasps broke across the circle like thunder. My entire world tilted. I stumbled back, my breath leaving me in a single, broken gasp. Rejection. The word echoed in my mind, impossible to comprehend despite its simplicity. Wolves might wait a lifetime for their mate bond, might travel thousands of miles to claim it once found. The bond was sacred. Unbreakable.

he corrected calmly. Marcus hesitated. “Well… technically the rejection ceremony just happened tonight.” “Yes,” Sunny replied. “So you should thank your Alpha.” Marcus frowned slightly. “Thank him?” Sunny’s lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile. “For making the biggest mistake of his life.” A chill ran down my spine. Marcus clearly didn’t like that statement. “With respect, Your Majesty,” he said slowly. “The rejection is a private matter within our pack.” Sunny’s golden eyes flashed. “A private matter?”

In front of everyone, with the Elder Council as my witness, I chanted the sacred words of severance. "I, Rhiannon of the Shadow-Crest Covenant, reject you, Lucius, as my blood-bonded mate." And then I channeled all my power into the final three words that would shatter the bond forever. "I. REJECT. YOU!"

“I cannot begin to know what it would be like for someone like Sophia.” “What if you don’t want to be with that person?” He barked out a harsh laugh, “If you have the strength to pull it off, you can reject them.” He shot me a meaningful look as if he understood why I was really asking, “It’s an incredibly cruel and painful process. It can even kill the one who is rejected.” “How does someone do that? Reject someone I mean.” I could still hear his threat ringing in my ears, “Do they have to do some kind of voodoo ceremony or just pray to the goddess?”

Rejecting him would hurt me, it could even kill lyca and I. “I’m not kidding.” I said, when he still didn’t listen. But they kept on fighting and completely ignored me. This was really frustrating now. “I’m sorry lyca. I have to stop them. Pls hold out a bit, I have to do this before they hurt each other.” “Okay. Let’s just hope he’ll listen to you this time. He definitely wouldn’t want his mate to go through this pain.” “Yeah, here I go.” I said, taking a deep breath and preparing myself for whatever the outcome of my decision would be. “I Athena Sanders Luther, reject you—“

Easton dared him to deny it, standing near our desk with his hands in his pockets, watching as furious Seamus trembled but remained silent. "We just want justice. So we would like to perform the rejection here and now, with all the members of the Council as witnesses." He continued and turned to the chairman for his approval. In werewolf culture, the 'rejection' is a formal process that signifies the end of a mate bond and the power transfer, making it a crucial moment in the pack's hierarchy. "Miss Hopkins? Is that claim true?" Chairman Pullman asked me, taking his glasses and clasping his hands on the panel before him.

If it wasn’t for the heart-wrenching pain I would have been shocked he cared for me. “Forget me, Damon.” Sera yelled out before running off back into the forest. I dropped to my knees letting out an agonizing howl. Trying to hold back the urge to break open my own chest to rip out my heart. Sam piped up, “She didn’t finish it… she is still ours.” I wanted to believe him, but her words still cut through me. “Damon… I…” Carlos was lost for words as he connected with me through the mind link. Feeling the rejection.

I couldn't absorb everything and it was hard for me to think. "Baby, don't blame yourself for what happened to your father," He enlightened me that my decision to refuse his proposal was all about business. He said that even if he was not my father and sent the same proposal amid the threatening failure of their company, he would not hesitate to reject it.

She creased her brows. “Step away, bitch.” Ian said as Hannah rushed toward them, pushing Quinn aside and slapping him hard. “Don’t you call her that, you asshole. I never even wanted to see your face. And what do you think you are doing?” She creased her brows. “If this is the closure you wanted then I’ll give it.” She gritted her teeth. “I Hannah Grace Lazardo rejected you, Ian Marquis, as my mate. We are no longer bonded together after you claim another. Your silent rejection ends here.”
