Novel & Cerita The Rejected Ex-mate Secret Identity

He was a King who sacrificed his life to keep the Kingdom safe from an assassin’s slow, secret attack. My entire perception of the last few weeks—the hot-cold nature, the rejections, the constant pain in the Mate Bond—all of it clicked into place. He wasn’t rejecting me because I was an Omega. He was rejecting me because he was a dead man walking, and he refused to drag his Mate down with him. I quickly replaced the journal and the silver object into the private pocket of my tunic. My heart was pounding, not with fear of discovery, but with the painful, terrifying knowledge of his secret.

“Oh, honey, that kind of thing doesn’t happen. Once you find your mate, you don’t ever want to leave them. All you want is to be with them. There is no denying the pull of your mate. It just isn’t possible.” Her mate had rejected her. He hated her. He was disgusted by her. No one could ever find out. From the high of the transition, Maya hit the low of this intense secret. She could never tell anyone she had found her mate, or that her mate didn’t want her. ★★★★ Five Years Later

I trail off, my throat thick with emotion. “He what?” Wendy asks while everyone waits for my reply. With a deep inhale, I summon some courage and reply, “He was my mate.” If the kitchen can get any quieter, it just did. Their eyes fill with pity and I gulp, my breathing shallow as I try not to cry. “Was?” Someone whispers. I nod. “Yes. He rejected me.” Not everyone knew everything about me or my past. Wendy, Felix, Alpha David, Asha and Hana were the only ones that knew more, but even them didn’t know everything.

He begged. I guess there was no harm in telling him something. He didn’t need to know who, but I guess I could tell him I was rejected. Not like it would surprise him. Considering he had rejected me my whole life, it wouldn’t make a difference to him. He wouldn’t be surprised by it either. Taking a breath, I spoke. “I had a mate.” I said quietly. “Had?” Beta Dimitri questioned. “He….He rejected me.” “What? Why? Who?”

They say rejected mates know when the rejection is about to happen but as I looked into the eyes of this man whom I had never met, who was supposed to love me with his soul, I just could not bring myself to put together the pieces. I wish I had... “Wait we-“ “What’s your name?” He demanded. “Yara Mason. But I need-“ “I, Kaiden Grey, Alpha of Greymoon rejects you, Yara Mason, as my mate and Luna. I need someone strong to stand by my side, and that person is not you little Omega.” That was how my world crumbled. The utter despair and unfairness of the situation washed over me all at once. My tongue felt like lead and my feet stayed stuck as I watched my supposed mate turn his back and leave.

Now, there was a third person here. I left the dining room and opened my contact list. To my father—the Alpha of the Moruna Pack—I sent a message: [Dad, I want to sever my mate bond and return home.]

I gasped, trying to speak, but my voice was barely audible. With bloodshot eyes, Coby leaned in closer, his voice a low growl as he began to speak over me. “I, Alpha Coby Brady, hereby reject you, Hannah Ayala, as my mate and future Luna,” he hissed, each word laced with venom. “I hope you rot here in prison for all eternity.” I couldn’t breathe—not because his hands were still choking my windpipe, but because the connection binding us as fated mates had been snapped in two. I felt vulnerable and gasping for air, the pain ripping through my chest, too much, too overwhelming.

Jarod's voice called for silence, and the room went silent, it looks like everyone stopped breathing. Jarod looked down at me. "Stand up," he ordered, and I complied, my legs trembling uncontrollably. “I Jarod Threan Lucas Ludgate, reject you, Layla Niles as my mate” Jarod said before I could stop him, a sharp pain like an arrow pierced through my heart, filling my chest with sorrow, I collapsed on the floor in shock, my mate, Jarod just rejected me without a second thought. How could he! The room was filled with murmurs, I hid my face behind my hair, but it did not last long as Jarod grabbed me again and dragged me off to his room like a petty rag, my poor heart breaking, he is nothing but

I hated that it still existed, the shock of the soulmate symbol still in existence even though I had been rejected, and he was supposed to be dead! Who had I been fooling by thinking I’d ever really been over him? Sweat broke out over my forehead, panic seizing my lungs. Leo—my mate—had come back from the dead, or at least pretending to be dead. But he sure as hell couldn’t stay in Nampa City. Orson would lose his mind. Or was that Leo’s plan? Was he back to take back his empire from Orson? None of it made sense. If Leo hadn’t disappeared in the first place, Orson never would have taken over his businesses. And to wait two centuries?

"But I'm right, and you all know it. He was rejected by an Omega from another pack just because his parents were rogues from the most sexist pack in the country, and then they decided to become members of Moon Rain." "Not all of our chosen mates are going to be bitches. I'm sure the moon goddess has someone better lined up for his second chance mate," Kaden replied, trying to sound optimistic. I rubbed the back of my neck, eager to get this conversation over with. I only told the guys about the rejection .... I didn't even have the balls to tell my parents. "Maybe you WILL find your second chance at the summit," Aiden said with a smile. "And then he'll finally stop swooning over Falco's sist
