Winter Rejected By One Alpha Novels & Stories

Two days have passed since the I got rejected. I haven’t seen Marionette or her friends on campus, nor does my mate. I was busy doing my assignment in the library when I heard these five, she-wolves talking. “Have you heard? Our future alpha will be studying here.” “Duh? Obviously, cause Marionette is here. What should we expect?” “But I also heard that our future alpha’s mate belongs to this pack.” “Seriously?!” Four of them shouted.

His eyes moved across the shelf, the window, the floor, and stopped. On the windowsill. Half a second. Then back to me, smooth and neutral, giving nothing. “The Alpha wants to establish ground rules,” he said. “Tonight.” He didn’t ask if I was ready. He stepped back and held the door open, which was its own kind of answer to a question I hadn’t asked. I looked at the windowsill one more time. A sealed room. A carving left inside it, worn down by years of someone’s hands. A Beta who noticed it in three seconds and chose not to react.

They exploded. “I hate you,” I whispered, tears burning my eyes. “I wish you were never my mother. Everything about this disgusts me.” Her eyes flickered, just once. Then Alpha Wilson arrived. He spoke to the gathered women first, his tone formal, distant. “From this moment on, Alpha Ryder is recognized as your ruling Alpha. You will submit. You will behave accordingly.” Then his gaze landed on me. There was no warmth in it. No regret. Nothing. He turned away without a word.

“You want me to give up the crown.” “Yes.” “You want me to become mortal.” “Yes.” “You want me weak.” My voice breaks. “I want you alive.” Silence fills the space between us. His eyes soften again. “You always did like impossible fights.” “I learned from you.” He exhales slowly. “Nova.” “Yes?” “If I renounce it…” “Yes?” “I stop being Alpha.” “I know.” “The pack might reject me.” “They won’t.” “You’re very confident.” “I’m very stubborn.” A faint smile returns to his face.

“Doesn’t matter now. It happened. You’re his mate. He’s your Alpha. And now we all have to deal with the fallout.” “What does that mean?” she asked, her voice trembling so hard she could barely speak. “What happens to me now? Am I.. am I a prisoner?” “You are not a prisoner,” Jax said quickly, but his eyes wouldn’t meet hers, and the words sounded hollow even in the echoing room. “You are the Alpha’s mate. It’s....a position of honor.” “It didn’t feel like an honor,” Winter whispered, wrapping her arms around her waist, a futile attempt to hold herself together. “He hates me. I could feel it through the ... the bond. He looked at me like he wanted me to die.”

The world held its breath. Kael’s eyes met mine. For a moment,just a moment,I thought I saw something there. Hesitation,my heart skipped. Then he spoke. Cold. Clear. Final. “I, Alpha Kael… reject you.” Silence. It didn’t feel real. The words echoed in my head, over and over again, like something distant and distorted. Reject you. Reject you. Reject you. A sharp, burning pain tore through my chest, stealing the air from my lungs as my knees threatened to give way beneath me.

She glared at him, but his touch seemed to calm her enough to get her back into her seat. “I called a retreat. Think what you like about Winterpaw – strategically, that is a terrible move for me to make as an Alpha. We were winning. Instead of losing my wolves to the cold, we could be living here now – with heat, and fresh food. I have to live with the knowledge that I gave that up, and every time I look at Haile I’m reminded of the choice I made.

He turned to the crowd and declared the very words that I dreaded the most. "I, Alpha Logan, hereby declare Alpha Mike banished from our pack. If he dared to step his foot into our land again, he would be executed before the full moon." Once he announced Alpha Mike's banishment, the crowd screamed in excitement, jubilating over Alpha Mike's banishment.I rushed down to his feet and began to beg for his mercy. "Alpha Logan, you don't have to do this. Have mercy on Alpha Mike. He never meant to intrude the pack or cause any havoc. He has been —"

No one can unilaterally reject an Alpha. "No! Never!"

Faced with intense pressure, Winter was eventually forced to make a heart-wrenching choice: stay as the Alpha of the Moonlight pack or become a rogue, banished from the pack with no chance of returning. Left with no choice, Winter had to make the painful decision to reject Mabel as his mate, a choice that would haunt him in the future. What he did not know at the time was that Mabel was already two weeks pregnant, and she had not informed him about it. I can vividly recall the day she was rejected by Winter; she cried and sobbed intensely.
