Worthless To Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate Novels & Stories

Looking at the not too familiar features up close knocked fucking breath out of my lungs. His beautifully sculpted chiseled jawline, lashes that could compete with mine and his dark hair that fell to his eyes, making my fingers itch to touch them. I could study his entire build for days and never get tired but the cocky smirk that curled up his lips and the mate scent that hit my nose threw me right back to reality. ‘Mate!’ my no-name wolf growled again, more possessively and a sob threatened to escape my lips. Alpha Alexander was my mate? No! This was probably some sick joke the moon goddess was playing with me because just how cruel will that ‘bitch’ be?

Maverick the moron said. Yep, that name sorts him right no apologize. “I don't need to answer anyone” I growled, “I just feel she needs my care” I heard everyone gasp. Alpha Maverick shook his head and laughed. I knew I was getting into a terrible mess, but I tried to act as though I was fine, they don't matter, or my decision to help a poor girl who I never said she is mate. “But that is not possible Alpha! She is the rejected mate by the Alphas a weeks ago, the captives from Hush park” Alpha Maverick said.

Edmund said in a soft tone, ignoring Lilith, and the old man nodded at Edmund with a bitter smile. "So he chose life over power!" Lilith finally understood as she exclaimed, "That's very noble." "Not exactly." The archbishop shook his head, "He did take a life. By accident. It was the alpha's mate who was the pure soul that time, and in their fight over the wand, she died..." Edmund froze right where he was. It was too convenient to call it a coincidence when it was also the alpha's mate who broke the sleep spell last time! No one in the room knew yet, but he knew--

She scoffs, her face curling up in disgust as she backs away from him until she's beside her father. "You are vile," she spits, and he shrugs. "I've been called a lot worse," he smirks, and her Alpha clears his throat. "Well, now that it has been established that your mate isn't here, can we please go back to the meeting?" James asks politely, and Alpha Adamo chuckles to himself. "No, see, I didn't say my mate wasn't here. In fact, she's right here," he shrugs, and everyone looks a little alarmed.

"We're not mates." For a second, I thought I saw Damian flinch when I said he isn't my mate, but it could have been my imagination, though. "But you guys are doing the stare," Alpha George says, looking disappointed. I turn to him with a confused expression. "What stare?" I ask him. "You know," he says, trying to explain. "The one every wolf gets when they meet their mate." "No, Alpha father, we're not mates," my voice comes out scratchy as I say this, making myself flinch.

They knew she was his mate, his scent was all over her and yet nobody has stepped forward to say hello. She honestly felt like they didn't like her, but who would like her anyway? Slowly turning to face them when Zillon's wolf disappeared into the forest, she smiled. Zillon had begged her to try and create a bond, and though she was hesitant, she had to try. "I-I am Celeste a-and the future alpha's mate.' After her little speech, everbody stayed silent until a man stepped forward, nothing but austerity on his face. "You are not the Alpha's mate, you're an omega...say that instead of spouting nonsense."

"If you marked each other, you would be able to feel what he was doing." "Zyra!" I blushed at Zyra's words, I knew what the mating mark meant and even though Ethan and I were each other's Fated Mate's I didn't feel ready. Besides, since the last time I rejected him at a crucial moment and accidentally left the necklace in the room without bringing it with me, I sort of felt that he must have given up on the relationship between us. After all, what Alpha would be interested in a woman who repeatedly rejected him?

"Alpha, women—especially Alpha women—are a never-ending book. Just when you think you've figured them out, they flip the script and you're back at chapter one." I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. "You're not exactly helping, Daniel." He smirked. "I'm not sure I can. Trust me, I tried to figure out my mate once, and that ended with her rejecting me for an older, richer Alpha. Apparently, 'reliable' doesn't have the same appeal as 'loaded and seasoned.'" That caught my attention, and I tilted my head. "She rejected you? What happened?"

I turn on my heels, ready to get out of here and go back to my pack and forget any of this even happened, but his voice stops me when I'm by the door. “I, Alpha Zade of the Darkmoon pack, reject you as my mate.”

She took a deep breath and said, "Your father and I have wanted to mention this for a few days." Dad looked at me sternly and said, "Your mother is right. We need to talk to you about this before it's too late." This caught my attention. I wondered what was so important to talk to me about. They had explained many things early in my childhood about our lifestyle. I thought they had gone over everything by that point in my life. Mom jumped in again and spoke, "We don't want you to make a huge mistake. Being a strong Alpha means having the best possible mate. You won't be as strong without your destined love."
