The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate By Cat Smith Novels & Stories

It pulsed through the air, brushing against my skin, seeping into my bones. I hadn’t felt it in years. Not since the night blood stained the forest floor. Not since Darius killed my husband. I slipped into a quieter alley, away from the bustle of the market. My breaths came fast, shallow. The Alpha’s presence wasn’t close, but it wasn’t far either. It moved past, strong but faltering, like someone carrying both power and pain. Wounded. I closed my eyes, reaching with senses I’d tried so hard to bury. Yes—there it was, faint but clear, the uneven rhythm of someone injured, but still undeniably dominant.

You should be happy I’m making this right,' Alpha Tate smiles. 'This doesn't feel right, though,' I tell him. 'Let me mark you, and I will make it feel right. I will even mate you immediately, and you will feel right then. Of course, it will hurt a bit, but you will like it. Once you have a piece of me, you’ll be begging me for more,' Alpha Tate grins. Disgusted and repulsed by his words, I take a few steps back. ‘I said, no! I don't want to be your mate!'

His stance was casual, but there was nothing relaxed about the way his muscles coiled beneath his clothes, like a predator poised to strike. Recognition settled in my gut like ice. Darius Nightshade. The Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. My rival. The bastard was smiling. "I have to say," he mused, tilting his head, "it's not everyday an Alpha gets rejected by his mate in front of an audience. Must be humbling." The growl that rumbled from my chest was low, dangerous. Darius chuckled. "Careful," he warned mockingly. "You wouldn't want your little mate seeing you lose control."

“She is still here in the pack, right?” “Yes,” he answered. He glanced at Elena and the children before turning to face me. “She is leaving, Alpha. She is leaving today, and she told me to inform you personally.” I opened and closed my mouth, clearly short of words. I remembered that my wolf had howled her name, calling her ‘Mate.’ I know she had felt that bond too, but I didn’t even think twice about disregarding her after hearing everything I wanted. Sebastian stepped closer and looked at me with soft, pitiful eyes. “Alpha, I know what happened,” he said barely above a whisper. “I don’t know why the Moon Goddess would grant you another mate, but…”

The noises fell away and my knees trembled as his scent filled my nostrils. ‘Mate,’ The word wasn’t spoken aloud and it didn’t need to be. It slammed into my mind and soul with the force of a hurricane, it also got me on chokehold and it became harder to breath. It was him and I alone in this place, that was what it felt like. He was headed in my direction and I felt as though my heart was about to rip off my chest, how can the Alpha be my mate? The Omega, the wolfless, the outcast.

She screamed out from the pain and squatted in a corner. Everyone was watching her quietly. But, no one stepped out to console or ease her pain. Slowly, the assaulting pain began to lessen. Tessa heaved breathlessly feeling more lightweight. She felt as though something had been broken inside her. The elder officiating the ceremony walked toward her and stopped in front of her. He looked downwards at her and said, "It's your turn to reject the Alpha now." Tessa nodded, understanding his words. Then, she sat up and looked at Chris. Then, she muttered, "I, Tessa Williams hereby reject Chris Donovan as my mate."

I smiled as I thought about how I would embarrass him on his birthday. "I, Crema Smith, I reject you as my mate. But you are free to chase me and love me if you want. Let see if you can change my mind or I will change yours," I told him and smiled sarcastically. Everyone was shocked by what I said and I heard their whispers. I also saw Aries' shocked at what I did to their Alpha. Alpha Dior immediately grabbed both my arms and frowned at me. I will admit I felt scared, but I didn't show it. His hands gripped both my arms tightly.

Alpha said. He turned slightly toward me and offered his outstretched hand and I grabbed it without hesitation. I looked up at him, but he wasn’t focused on me, he was staring out across the table. When I stood on my feet, I averted my eyes and bowed my head slightly. Almost everyone at the table returned the gesture before Alpha pulled me toward the door. I knew I shouldn’t, but my heart wouldn’t listen, and so my body didn’t either. I turned and glanced over my shoulder one more time at my mate before my back was turned completely. It was like a sip of fresh air before I faced the door. With each step I took, my feet grew heavier the farther I got from him. Obsidian eyes followed me out. B

His tone showed that he wasn't going to listen to anyone. "Do... Dominic... I... Don't think you know or not but...I.. I am going to die if you reject-..." She started to mumble out when he shut her up with a kiss and when he pulled back from the kiss, his next set of words silenced her completely. "I, alpha of alphas of South region, Alpha Dominic, I take back my rejection and accept you, Athena, as my mate, if you accept our mate bond as well." He voiced out in a large and clear tone while looking her in the eyes. She cried out softly after his words registered on his head.

CATHERINE. "No." The word is cold and unyielding. Standing before Vance, the Alpha of the Sylight pack, I have never felt more alone. "The goddess must be joking," he mutters as he stares at me. "Al... Alpha," I stutter, shaking in my bones. "Very well then, let's get this over with. I, Vance Sky, reject you, Catherine Thames, as my mate." The gasps and shock of the members surround me, covering me in shame and embarrassment.
