Unbound By Choice Rejecting The Obsidian Alpha Novels & Stories

After tonight, I’m never falling in love again. “Sorry to say this, young lady, but the bar’s closing soon,” the bartender said, breaking me out of my deep thought. I nodded, finished off the last of my water and left the bar. The thought of going home right now made me sick. I couldn't face anyone just yet. But where would I go? David's offer echoed in my head and I stilled. Should I really go there? He was a player and I couldn't trust him. But the last person I trusted betrayed me. At least, David didn't hide his intentions like Tommy did.

The public mask of the Alpha Heir slid back into place, but his eyes still burned with a chaotic fire—disgust, and something else, something violently unsettled. “Let me be perfectly clear, Luna Hartley,” he announced, his voice ringing off the library shelves, loud enough for any listening ears in the hall. “I felt it. That pathetic little tug. That’s all it is. A defect. A laughable error.” He paused, letting the silence stretch, letting her hope curdle. “I, Kael Silvercrest, future Alpha of the Silvercrest Pack, reject the bond. I reject whatever pathetic fantasy you’re spinning. I. Reject. You.”

"It changed because I found a real Alpha. A child reacts to the environment of the womb. In your pack, my baby felt only your resentment and your poison. Here? Here, he feels the pulse of the mountain" Eryx moved to stand beside me, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "The Council has a choice. You can support a man who tries to murder his unborn son with alchemical filth, or you can recognize the Red Luna and the new alliance we have built with the Elders of the Obsidian Pass". At the mention of the Obsidian Pass, Thorne’s eyes widened. The "dead" Alfas were a legend that the Council had tried to bury.

"Stay here, keep the mate bond active, and spend the rest of your life tethered to a man who destroyed you. But make no mistake, I'm the only one who can help you. You're nothing without my protection, without my resources." The cruelty of it took my breath away. "You're just like them. Just like your father, just like Bruno. You're all playing games, using people, destroying anyone who gets in your way." "No," Alpha Kai said quietly. "I'm not like them. If I were, I wouldn't be giving you a choice at all. I'd just do it myself and damn the consequences." "This isn't a choice. This is blackmail." "It is a choice," he said. "A hard one, but a choice nonetheless. You can leave right now, walk

The crowd went quiet. Kade continued, his voice getting stronger, steadier. "I am your Alpha. I have led this pack for five years. I have bled for you. I have buried warriors with you. I have never asked you to trust me blindly. I am asking you now. Trust me for six more days. Six more days of no light. Six more days of Ani staying in the library, staying alive. If after six days, the flower is not gone, if Magnus cannot find a cure, then I will stand here myself and I will let you decide her fate. But for six days — six days — do not make her choose between one life and all our lives. She already made that choice once when she took the curse for Leo. Do not make her make it again."

The words hung in the air like a death sentence. “I, Alpha Kael Voss of the Shadowmoon Pack… reject you as my fated mate.” Elara’s world tilted. The beautiful golden sparks that had begun dancing between them just moments ago twisted into something ugly and sharp, slicing through her chest like silver blades.

The delta was a tomb of smoke and silence. Beneath the collapsed granite, the feral beast that had once been the Alpha King clawed at the stone, his muffled, rhythmic thuds against the rock face the only reminder that he was still alive. I stood on the bluff as the sun began to sink below the North Sea, casting long, bruised shadows over the wreckage. My army—the Unbound—watched me. Their pale eyes were no longer filled with suspicion. They were filled with the kind of primal devotion usually reserved for the legends of the old world.

"Nothing matters more than her safety and her freedom." Nyoka sighs, looking back at her brother. "If the Bloodmoon Blaze hadn't destroyed the old Healer sanctuary, you would still be her First Moonbond, and—" "The past is burned to ash, Nyoka," Benjamin cuts in, his voice dead and steady. "Let it rest." Nyoka bites her lip, turning to me. "Who will you choose when the High Council demands an Alpha bond, Sommy? Ronan or Kellan Stormfang?" I do not answer. I grab the heavy insulated food container from the bench and step down onto the cold stone path. "Thank you for the ride, Nyoka."

He stared at me, the hatred in his eyes evident and then he said the words I dreaded the most in my life. "I, Alpha Leo Fernandez of the Blood Moon Pack, rejects you, Crystal Thorne as my mate." His words tore through my very being, leaving my wolf shattered, but there was nothing I could do. "Now, accept the damn rejection and get lost," He growled. I shook my head in the negative. I had heard so much about the pain that came after a rejection and I didn't want to go through that. "Are you out of your mind?" He grabbed me by the throat and squeezed hard. "You would die like a pauper here and no one would even bother to search for your remains."

]] { yes Alpha, I understand } he nodded and took the dagger from Luna Jewel. Ebony extended her hand and Alpha made the cut, I winced on her behalf but it was as though she felt nothing at all { I Ebony Mangrovi hereby accept Alpha Kavi Sloan as my Alpha and pledge my loyalty to the Midnight Lunar Pack } Alpha then made a cut in his palm and held her hand { ahhh } [[ don't fight it, just let it happen smoothly, open up your mind and let them through ]] { there's so many, I-I can hear you Alpha Kavi, just focus, okay.... okay it's stopped now, thank you } still holding hands they dipped their hands into the bowl then let go.
