rejected

Nate’s fingers closed around Aire’s wrist. “You felt it,” he murmured. “The bond.” Aire’s pulse raced, but she didn’t pull away. “Feeling it,” she said softly, “doesn’t mean I’m keeping it.” ......... Aire has always been cursed, wolfless, silver-haired, tolerated, and never wanted. A punishment, the elders say, for the sin her father committed against the Moon Goddess. In a world where power is measured by the strength of your wolf and the purity of your bloodline, she is neither. She survives quietly under her uncle’s roof, enduring humiliation because survival is better than being cast out. One fateful ball, the mate bond snapped when three wolves claimed her at once. Xanden. Alaric. Nate. The Alpha triplets who rule their territory like a united front of teeth and pride. The same men everyone assumed would claim someone else, someone stronger, and someone worthy. And not her. Aire does the only thing she can think to do. She rejects them. However, Alphas are not meant to be rejected. Especially not by a cursed girl with no wolf. Now, instead of being ignored, she’s watched. Instead of being pitied, she’s claimed. The triplets don’t want romance. They want control. They drag her into their territory, into their politics, into a royal system filled with spies, rival houses, and daughters raised to become queens. Aire begins to realize something terrifying. The mate bond may not be her greatest danger. Making the Alphas feel might be. She is either destined to rule beside them… Or die before she ever gets the chance.

Chase Sterling always felt like furniture. The kind you don't notice, the kind that's easy to shove in a corner and forget. He was used to it: people looked right through him, brushed him off like lint. But it only takes one phone call to erase a lifetime of being overlooked. When his estranged family meets a tragic end, Chase suddenly finds himself in charge of the sprawling Sterling fortune. Turns out, riches aren't the only thing the family left him. There's a curse running through his blood, warping love into something hungry and dangerous, impossible to escape. Vivian Ashford never set out to blow Chase's life to smithereens. Just one decision (a sharp, ruthless move at graduation) was all it took to set their worlds spinning out of control. While Vivian soaks up the Hollywood limelight and collects red-carpet headlines, Chase slips into his new role as Manhattan's most intimidating heir. But no matter how far they run, something keeps yanking them back together, like a stitch in an old wound that refuses to heal.

In a werewolf pack that despised weakness, Aphrodite learned to survive by staying quiet, keeping her head down, and enduring cruelty in silence. The Alpha heirs hated her. The future Beta and Gamma made her life unbearable. When she finally breaks and seeks freedom at the Moon Goddess temple, she does not find release. She finds truth. Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate. The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all. As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path. Love does not come in one form. Neither does power. In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected. Not a queen. But the axis upon which the world turns.

He is her enemy. The moon made him her destiny. At a peace summit between two rival wolf packs, the mate bond snaps between Sera Whitmore and Kael Voss — the two heirs who were born to be enemies. He walks away without a word. She tells herself she can manage it. They are both wrong. When Sera uncovers a 200-year-old secret buried in both their histories — a lie that started the war, a journal her mother died to protect, and a kill list with her name at the bottom — the bond between her and the enemy heir becomes the only thing standing between two packs and total destruction. He rejected her. She refused to beg. Fate gave them twenty days. Enemies. Fated mates. One truth that changes everything.

Have you ever felt someone watching you… so closely, that it feels as if your very soul belongs to them? Someone who would snap a man’s neck with his bare hands, just because of a whisper of disrespect and lay his head at your feet… smiling, as if it were the sweetest gift you could ever receive? Yes, that exactly is my fate. I am Adeline, a dying village girl with no crown, no power, and barely a month left to live. Yet fate had other plans. A royal decree summoned all eligible women to the prince’s bride‑selection ball. I had no desire to go. I had no desire to live beyond my pain. But my mother… wanted me to taste a life brighter than the one she was forced to endure. I did not expect to be chosen. I did not expect to survive the deadly trials. I am now married to Prince Nathan, he treats me as if I am nothing. His cruelty knows no bounds, his arrogance cutting into every corner of my new life. He treats me like a stray dog dragged into the palace by mistake. Whispers follow me everywhere. The guards and maids do not even bother to hide their disdain or disrespect. Yet… I am not alone. Because every night, in my dreams, he comes to me. My terror… My guarding angel. The man whose whispers curl through my veins and leave me trembling before I even wake. The man who touches me without ever truly taking me, yet makes me ache as if he already owns every part of me. And then there is my father‑in‑law. The vampire king. The most bloodthirsty and ruthless man alive. A king whose presence alone makes my heart race the same way it does in my dreams. A man whose gaze lingers too long… as if he has always known me. Could the monster who haunts my dreams truly be the same man who rules this palace or am I only imagining a connection that was never meant to exist? And if he is real… am I his prey, or something far more dangerous to desire? Because what does it mean… when a monster becomes obsessed with you?

Elara spent her entire life believing in one thing: the mate bond. As the daughter of a low-ranking wolf, she knew her place in the pack. Quiet. Loyal. Invisible. But everything changed the night the Moon Goddess revealed her mate. The Alpha. Kael Blackthorn. The most powerful werewolf in the region. Cold, ruthless, and destined to rule. For one brief moment, Elara believed fate had chosen her. But Kael rejected her. In front of the entire pack. Humiliated and broken, Elara leaves the only home she has ever known. She disappears into the human world, determined to build a life where she is no longer defined by the mate who cast her aside. Years pass. And Elara changes. She is no longer the quiet girl the pack once ignored. She has power. Secrets. And a strength Kael never saw. But when fate brings them together again, the bond between them awakens stronger than ever. Only this time… Elara refuses to be claimed. And Kael realizes something terrifying. Rejecting her may have been the greatest mistake of his life. Because the woman he lost… might be the only one capable of destroying him. —or saving him.

No one talks about the Black Moon. They say children born beneath its ink-stained light are cosmic errors, mistakes corrected before their seventh winter. At eighteen, I am the error that lived. As the Alpha’s daughter, I should have been royalty. Instead, I am a ghost in my father’s house, treated like rot beneath the floorboards and never touched without heavy gloves. I have no wolf and no future—until the night I am rejected by my fated mate. When my heart breaks, the sky breaks with it. The moon turns black, lightning strikes, and a plague begins to destroy my pack from the inside out. The Priests’ verdict is simple: to save the wolves, the "curse" must be bled dry. Sentenced to death, I steal one final night of freedom in the neon haze of a forbidden club. There, I meet a dangerous stranger with a deal that tastes like sin and salvation. Yes, they called me a mistake. They called me a sacrifice. But when I return for the Bloodline rituals, the Goddess didn’t choose my sister to save the world. She chose me. Now, the Kings of wolves, mages, and vampires are coming for me; they all want a piece of the Black Luna to tip the scales of war. They think they can buy my blood, my presence, or my hand in marriage… They are wrong, because the shadow beneath my skin… is finally hungry. Excerpt: "You're a long way from the attic, little curse," he says, his voice a low, silk-wrapped growl. "I'm a few hours from an altar," I shoot back, my sassy edge finding its footing. "I figured I'd see what the world looks like before I'm bled dry for it." He leans down, his breath warm against my ear. "The Blood-Claw pack is foolish. They think they can solve a plague by killing the only thing the Goddess actually bothered to mark?” "They think I'm a mistake. Who are you to tell them otherwise?" He pulls back just enough to look me in the eye, his silver gaze pinning me in place. "I’m the Prince," he says, the title sounding like a threat. "And that’s enough.” He reaches out, his thumb grazing my jawline, tracing the path where my father’s hand usually leaves a bruise. I should flinch, but the shadow in my blood is purring at his touch. “I have a proposal, Iskera. If you go back alone, you die at dawn,” he whispers, his eyes darkening. "They’ll open your throat to appease a Goddess who isn't even listening. But if you go back as my property? If you wear my ring and carry my name?" He leans closer, his lips inches from mine, his scent of sandalwood and winter air filling my senses. "Not even your father would dare draw his knife against what belongs to me."

" you can never be my mate" Vivian William thought she was finally about to feel safe. She walked into the Pack Affairs Office believing she was securing a future only to be destroyed by a single phone call. The man she trusted didn’t hesitate. He laughed as he told her the truth. She was never meant to be his mate. Never chosen. Just a convenient name on paper until the woman he truly wanted arrived. Abandoned. Humiliated. Watched by a pack that thrived on her shame. And with her mother’s life depending on medical coverage she no longer had, Vivian was left with no room to fall apart. That was when a stranger appeared. Finnick Norton was calm in a way that felt dangerous. Sharp-eyed. Controlled. Sitting in a wheelchair, yet carrying a presence that made the room bend around him. He didn’t offer comfort. He didn’t offer lies. He offered marriage. A bond without promises. Without romance. A clean agreement between two people who needed something badly enough to risk everything. Vivian said yes, believing she had nothing left to lose. She didn’t know she had just married the most powerful man in Sunshine City. Finnick Norton isn’t just a stranger. He’s the unseen Alpha behind Finnor Group the empire that rose in silence and now stands above the city’s strongest families. A man who controls without raising his voice. A man who never moves without purpose. At work, Vivian is forced to interview the city’s most mysterious and desired bachelor only to come face to face with her husband hours after marrying him… a man who looks at her like she’s a stranger. But Finnick is always watching. What begins as survival turns into tension. Into restraint. Into something neither of them planned for. Because Vivian was never meant to be temporary. And Finnick Norton never makes a bond he doesn’t intend to keep.

In the Blood moon Pack, Aurora Hale is the mistake everyone wishes never happened. Born wolf-less to a prestigious Alpha family, she’s the shameful daughter, the unwanted sister, the girl the pack forgets until they need someone to blame.

Her wolf finally awakens, late, wild, and marked. And the mate bond snaps into place with brutal clarity. Her mate is Kade Blackthorn: the next Alpha, her sister’s beloved fiancé… and the boy who made her life a living hell. Aurora wants nothing from him. Not his pity. Not his protection. And definitely not his love. She’s spent a lifetime learning how to live without being wanted, she refuses to chain herself to the wolf who once enjoyed watching her break. Kade, however, is discovering a new kind of torment: needing the one girl who would rather burn their bond than accept it. With the pack watching, secrets unravelling, and a dangerous mark on Aurora’s skin that could rewrite the laws of their world, walking away won’t be easy. He can’t live without her. She refuses to live for him. Between them lies a bond that feels a lot like war. Can something so broken ever be remade into love, or will the wolf she hates drag them both past the point of no return?

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] After the coming-of-age ceremony, Ashley discovered a truth that shattered her entire world. She was not the real daughter of the Alpha of their pack. All this time, she had been living someone else’s life. And the person whose life she had unknowingly taken… was the very girl the entire pack had always scorned. The real daughter of the Alpha had grown up as the child of an Omega, a woman the pack constantly mocked as a shameless whore who never even mentioned the identity of her own daughter’s father. The girl had been treated like a plague, ignored, bullied, and looked down upon by nearly everyone in the pack. Yet no one could have predicted what would happen during the coming-of-age ceremony. When the time came for the young wolves to shift for the first time, the scorned girl shifted before everyone’s eyes. Not only that… Her strength rivaled that of the Alpha in his prime. Meanwhile, Ashley, the girl everyone believed to be the Alpha’s true daughter, stood frozen beneath the moonlight. No matter how hard she tried, she could not shift. Even after the moon passed overhead, nothing happened. In a single night, Ashley had not only humiliated herself before the entire pack, but she had also enraged both the Alpha and the Luna. After all, she had been raised as their proud and talented daughter, the one who had excelled in every lesson and training session. And yet… When the moment that truly mattered arrived, she couldn’t even shift. After the truth was revealed, Ashley’s world collapsed overnight. The people who had once called her family, her former parents, and her two brothers now looked at her with nothing but hatred. To them, Ashley had committed an unforgivable sin. And just like that, everything Ashley once had was taken away. The once-proud daughter of the Alpha… the young woman admired by everyone… the belle of the pack who had been regarded as the dream mate of countless wolves… All of it vanished. She fell from her pedestal overnight. Now, no one wanted anything to do with her. Desperate and heartbroken, Ashley sought help from the one person she believed would still stand by her side, her childhood friend and fiancé, the future Alpha of an allied pack she had grown up with. They had once been inseparable. From a young age, they had promised each other that they would become mates and never betray one another. Ashley had believed those promises with all her heart. Even after learning she was not the Alpha’s real daughter, she still believed that at least their feelings for each other had been genuine. But she was wrong. Not only did he trample on her love… He trampled on her dignity. Pretending to support her, he deceived her into believing he was still on her side. Only to later invite her to his mating ceremony, where he planned to humiliate her in front of everyone. Betrayed and humiliated, Ashley had no choice but to leave. With her head lowered and her pride shattered, she returned home, only to discover an even greater tragedy waiting for her. Her real mother had been violated and brutally murdered. The sight was so horrifying that Ashley’s heart nearly stopped. Her mother’s body lay there lifeless, her eyes still wide open as if she had been unable to close them even in death. The pack that had once been her home had already abandoned her. There was nothing left tying her to that place anymore. So Ashley left. But along the way, fate had something else waiting for her. She discovered her fated mate. Yet the moment their destinies intertwined, another cruel truth surfaced. Her mate’s father… Was the very enemy who had nearly annihilated her entire pack years ago. Now, love and hatred stood on opposite sides of the same fate. Would this twisted bond lead them toward love… Or would destiny force them to destroy each other instead? But what would happen if her ex also regretted his choice and wanted her back?

On the night before her wedding, Arabella Montclair believed she was the luckiest wolf alive. Chosen by the Moon Goddess. Mated to the powerful Alpha Victor Ashford. Finally free from a lifetime of living in her stepmother’s shadow. She poured her heart into planning the perfect ceremony, convinced that tomorrow would mark the beginning of her happily ever after. Instead, it became the day her world shattered. Before the entire Silver Moon Pack, Arabella walks into her own wedding hall, only to find her mate standing at the altar with another bride. Her stepsister. Humiliated and exposed, her most guarded secret is revealed: she carries an F-class fertility rating, deemed cursed, unworthy of bearing an heir. In a world where fertility defines a wolf’s value, she is rejected, discarded, and publicly stripped of her title as mate. “I reject you.” With those words, her bond is severed. Her wolf falls silent. And Arabella is condemned to the lowest fate imaginable, declared a breeder, a life worse than slavery. Beaten. Broken. Forgotten. But fate is far from finished with her. On the very day she is cast aside, the immortal Lycan King, Enzo Obsidian, arrives unannounced at Silver Moon Pack. A ruthless ruler with violet eyes and centuries of power behind him, Enzo has come to investigate corruption festering within the pack. He expected deceit. He expected betrayal. He expected blood. He did not expect her. Among the women paraded before him as entertainment, one figure stands out, a girl in torn white lace, head bowed, silent yet defiant. She smells of pain… and something far rarer. She does not belong there. As secrets unravel and hidden truths surface, the rejected breeder may be more than what anyone believes. And the king who fears nothing may soon find himself entangled in a fate neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes, the one deemed unworthy by a pack… is the one destined to stand beside a king.

Asher Graham has a secret he must protect, if he was to keep his Omega mother safe. All his life, he never truly belonged anywhere because they were always on the run. But when Asher figured out a way to stay alive, he took it, even if it meant enrolling into the deadly werewolf Academy, Stone Claw Academy, where cold, and ruthless Alphas were trained. His secret would have been safe if he hadn’t gone ahead and pissed off Stone Claw Academy’s resident bad boy and bully, Alpha Reed Jackson. Asher took what belonged to the devil and called his bluff, now he had to pay for it with the title he has fought to keep or his life. When Alpha Reed gained the upperhand and found out his secret, Asher had to dance to his tune by being his playtoy or lose everything including his life. The past came knocking soon enough, and now Asher has to choose between getting a clean slate or being with the man who had done nothing but torment him and make his deepest, darkest desires come true. Will Asher choose Reed over everything or risk what they have to get everything he has always wanted?

Willa had been pushed through fifteen foster homes and just about had enough of it. On her eighteenth birthday, her only wish is simple—survive long enough to escape the life she’s trapped in. But that night, a monster crashes into her home and mauls her to death. Except, she doesn’t die. When Willa wakes, she finds herself inside a hidden supernatural academy, surrounded by beings she never knew existed. Worse, everyone believes she is someone else—a girl who mysteriously vanished two months ago. Only Willa and a handful of powerful leaders know the truth. And they intend to keep it that way.

Months of illness, silence, and solitude follow until a moonlit celebration changes everything. A powerful visiting Alpha notices the girl everyone discarded, seeing something no one else does: strength, fire… and a destiny that cannot be ignored.

Surrounded by rivals, lies, and unfinished bonds, she holds the one thing he never expected— The power to destroy him… or forgive him.

She was never supposed to be Luna. Soraya Windsor was the bastard daughter of the Gamma. The backup plan. The convenient choice. The girl who had loved Jordan Rutherford since she was twelve and foolish enough to believe he would one day see her as more than his best friend. As more than a placeholder. For five years, she was everything he needed: the perfect Luna, the devoted wife, the woman who raised another woman's daughter as her own flesh and told herself it was enough. That love, even unreturned, was still love worth giving. Jordan never chose her. Not once. Not even when she was caring for his child. Then Magda returns. Jordan's first love. His first choice. More cunning than beautiful, more dangerous than anyone remembers — and she’s here to fulfill a promise that will burn Soraya's world to ash and reduce everything she built to nothing. Soraya makes the only decision she has left, she walks away. Five years later, Soraya Windsor is wealthy, untouchable, unforgiving—and Jordan Rutherford needs her help. Only that, he is about to discover what it costs to make someone's love feel like a favor. His Pack is crumbling, Jordan is desperate and she is the only one who can save them. But why would she? Hell hath no fury like an unwanted Luna.

“Do not expect a husband, Woman. I have no room in my chest for a heart– only the King’s law.” I flinched, my eyes filling with fresh tears at the cruelty of his words. "My Lord, I only-" “Be silent,” he spat, not even looking at me. "You are no wife. Only a burden I must now carry across the kingdom.” He gripped my upper arm with a painful force, his strength bruising and indifferent, as he dragged me toward the towering, battle-scarred warhorse. “If you have any dignity left in you, stay downwind and out of my sight. Looking at you is a chore I no longer wish to endure."
