The Defiant Mate Free Read Novels & Stories

“We were never equals, Tiana. You’re weak. You can’t handle what it takes to stand beside me as an alpha’s mate. But Sophie...she can.” What? Sophie grinned, leaning her head against his shoulder like she’d already won. She didn't look the least bit remorseful. She had just stolen her sister's mate and she didn't care about that. “You bastard,” I hissed, my voice trembling. “You think I’m weak because I trusted you? Because I believed in us?” Matt shrugged like my pain meant nothing to him. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I, Matthew Jerkins. Reject you, Tiana. You’re not my mate. Sophie is the one I want by my side.”

Cole said. “Of course, and I respect that,” Isabelle replied and lowered her gaze from him, hiding her hurt. “You also don’t need to worry about us bonding or this mate thing. I am certain it is some practical joke, and I would find my second chance mate sometime in the future. You don’t need to worry at all,” she said in a bid to reassure him at least even if she knew the chances of surviving rejecting him were not in her favor. She attempted a smile and then chuckled - a humorless one and it died when Cole trained a cold gaze on her. She swallowed. “What the hell is a second chance mate?”

But what I didn't see coming was the sting that was left across my face by the palm of her hand, followed by her tiny finger poking at my chest. "If you think for one minute you're going to walk over here and win me over just because you're my mate, you have another thing coming! I, Fiona Meredith Fayette, reject you, Leviathan, whatever the hell your full name is, Mr. deity of the water dragons, as my mate! As far as I'm concerned, you can fu.ck off a good distance away from here!"

“You’re my…mate.” I couldn't quite believe it myself. That this tall, striking man was my fated mate. How else could I explain this fire that burned my insides? I was snagged back to reality as big hands shoved me backwards and I landed on my butt. With a heavy thud. His eyes burned into my face from above. “Mate?” He scoffed. “Well, that's too bad, because I, Alpha Kieran, reject you stinking, tiny weasel, as my mate.”

Mate or not my love for her will never be the same as the love I have for Zoe. I thought she and I are mates, but the Devil alpha came and took that from me. ‘I already told you I don’t want another mate that is not Zoe.’ He growls, ‘You are going to get us killed with your stubbornness.’ He is irritated, but he doesn’t know how irritated I am about the fact that he refuses to understand. ‘We are not going to be killed because we have the bears to help us win.’ He growls again. ‘We don’t have the bears, they can still kill us, remember we just fought against them a few hours ago. What makes you think they will spare us now?’ the narrow-minded beast will never understand.

“Your own fated mate didn’t want you. What does that say about you, Delilah?” My hands started shaking. I shoved them behind my back so they wouldn’t see. “It says she’s defective,” Mateo answered his brother like I wasn’t even there. “Broken. Used goods that nobody wants.” “Her mate spent years fucking her in secret and still couldn’t stand the thought of claiming her publicly.” Dante finally looked up and his storm gray eyes were colder than ice. “That’s not just rejection. That’s disgust.” My stomach turned over. Bile rose in my throat.

“You are my mate, and you will obey me.” I felt anger rise within me, my fists clenching at my sides as I met his gaze with a defiance. “We are equals, Declan,” I shot back. “I will not be submissive to you, not when we are supposed to be partners.” “What did you say to me?” Declan said raising a brow. I met his gaze, refusing to back down in the face of his intimidation tactics. “We may be mates,” I retorted, “But that does not give you the right to treat me like some obedient little pet. We are equals, and I will not bow down to you.”

"My mate is not going to be dumb." "Details, shmetails," shrugged Carter. He leaned back on the wall opposite to her, with a smirk on his lips. "You might believe that your mate will be a knight in shining armor, Darling. But I need to warn you that sometimes mates are not exactly the same as in your dreams, they can be quite cruel and ruthless. Greedy and selfish for the sake of protecting their peace. Maybe they will let go of you, abandon you, leaving you alone forever. While you wait for them to give a bit of their sympathy to you, they could ignore you and go out to play. Their essence might be engraved in your bones, but the same isn't necessarily true for them."

saying the last word in a taunting manner which makes Damien more angry. Both of them are chest to chest, glaring at each other, "She doesn't need you" Damien says through clenched jaw. "Oh really?, let her decide for herself" Matthew replies and both of their heads turns towards her for an answer. She panics inside not knowing what to do. Although Damien might be her so called mate, Matthew had been there for her every time she needed someone by her side. Besides, Damien lost any claim he had on her when he rejected him. She avoids Damien's gaze knowing that he was staring at her through those piercing grey eyes of his. A few moments passes like that in the same position, finally she lifts

We were alone. Our hands caressed one another, and Cameron placed his soft lips on mine as his fingers traveled from my nape to my back. My body tingled with anticipation. His tongue invaded my mouth. He tasted delicious, and I kissed him with passion, running my hands up and down his back. I broke the kiss. “Cameron, someone might see…” “Who cares?” He interrupted as he pushed his hips forward. “You're my mate, and we're adults…no one else matters,” his voice was husky, and his gaze locked on mine, begging me to accept him completely.
