rejected

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.

On her eighteenth birthday, Aria Vale longed for one thing: freedom. Raised as an orphan and servant in the Silvercrest Pack, she dreamed that the Moon Goddess would grant her a mate who would love her despite her scars and status. But destiny is cruel. Her mate is Alpha Kael Draven, the very man she has served all her life, and he is already bethroted to someone else. His public rejection brands her as worthless, and his punishment is severe: she is cast out and sold to the feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, a man said to be cursed by the gods. Alpha Raine Blackthorn wants nothing to do with love or Luna bonds. Every woman who has ever loved a Blackthorn has died, victims of an ancient blood curse. To him, Aria is just a tool: a breeder to produce an heir and secure the future of his dying pack. But when Raine’s darkness meets Aria’s fragile light, forbidden feelings start to emerge. Her presence stirs his humanity—and something more. As Aria’s dormant wolf begins to awaken, secrets from both their pasts come to light. The curse is not what it seems, and breaking it may require a sacrifice that neither can endure. In a world filled with power, betrayal, and blood, love might be the most dangerous curse of all.

I was the rejected twin, while Michael, the golden, adored twin, had everything. I had nothing, not until Alpha Ethan Blackwood rejected me out like I was worthless for my twin brother.

Got cursed by Moon Goddess who sees everything and doesn't forgive. At the academy, I meet my teammates: Riko, Ren, and Leo, all chaotic, wild, unstoppable and entirely mine.

But just as I begin to trust him, Adam’s secret slipped, a truth that could destroy everything because, what started as a friendship is becoming something far more dangerous: love.

A heartfelt story revolves around Jessica and Johnathan, two people connected by emotions that are never fully expressed out loud. Jessica quietly holds feelings for Johnathan, hoping that one day he might notice and understand the depth of her love.

Their bond grows through small moments, unspoken words, and lingering glances, but misunderstandings and hesitation create an invisible distance between them. The story explores whether love that is never openly confessed can still find its way, or whether silence will keep them apart forever.

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.

Raven was young, naïve… and an Omega. She stumbled upon their pack—three powerful Alpha brothers. They could have ended her life, but they let her go, on one condition: she must never tell anyone about their location. But fate wasn’t so kind. When she returned home to her father panicked—an attack was coming from the Moonburn pack and someone had to divert their enemies’ attention. Raven is forced to make the impossible choice: protect her family or preserve another’s. To save her own, she betrayed someone else’s. It was the beginning of her ruin. Not only did her decision unleash chaos she could never undo, it marked her for revenge—by the Alphas she had wronged, and by the consequences of her own deceit. Struggling for survival, Raven must navigate a dangerous world of powerful Alphas, broken promises, and dark desire. But can a girl who betrayed so much ever find redemption—or love—without paying the ultimate price?

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] **** “Nathan…” Maddison murmured sweetly, her voice soft, almost playful. “Ashley’s been clinging to you over that mating ceremony lately… doesn’t it exhaust you?” “Baby…” Nathan’s voice dropped, low and rough, laced with disdain. “Let’s not waste our time talking about someone so irrelevant while we’re enjoying ourselves.” A cold smirk tugged at his lips. “You know those promises I made to her meant nothing.” His tone turned darker, almost amused. “I said them just to watch her hope… just so I could rip it away from her tomorrow.” His gaze hardened. “I want her to stand there and watch it happen—watch with her own eyes who would become my Luna.” His hand slid around Maddison’s waist, pulling her firmly against him, possessive and certain. “It was always you. Only you.” A flicker of anger crossed his face, sharp and unforgiving. “I’ll make her regret the day she was born. If that disgusting woman she calls a mother hadn’t switched you at the hospital, none of this would’ve happened. You—the true Alpha’s daughter—wouldn’t have wasted eighteen years suffering while that impostor lived in your place.” He let out a quiet scoff, thick with contempt. “If things had been right from the start, you would’ve grown up beside me… as my future bride.” Nathan brushed Maddison’s hair aside, his voice dropping into something darker, colder. “All we’re doing now… is correcting a mistake.” His lips curved faintly. “She can drown in her misery while the entire pack turns its back on her…” His grip on Maddison tightened slightly. “…and you take the place that’s always been yours.” *** After Ashley was exposed as the fake Alpha’s daughter, her world collapsed overnight. The people who once adored her turned cold, one by one—including Nathan, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé. He didn’t just abandon her; he played along, pretending to go through with the mating ceremony, only to use it as a stage to humiliate her and publicly claim Maddison—the true Alpha’s daughter—as his mate. It was his way of proving that without her title, Ashley was nothing. They expected her to stay. To bow her head, accept the blame, and atone for a “sin” that was never hers. But they forgot how far they had pushed her. After enduring Maddison’s cruelty and torture, Ashley chose to run. She left everything behind and, in time, found someone else—someone far removed from the life that had broken her. By the time Nathan realized the truth of his own feelings, that it had always been Ashley, it was already too late. She had entered a contract marriage with the Monster Duke, and Nathan even took part in sending her to someone else's bed. Nathan thought she would regret it. Thought she would come back. But he was wrong, and regret drowned him. Now, he wanted her back and would do anything to make it happen, but would Ashley's husband allow it?

Title: I Built His Empire… Now I’m Taking It Back Synopsis She was the mind behind the empire. While others chased titles, Adriana built systems, solved crises, and turned failing ventures into gold. With an unmatched blend of precision and instinct—an “Eagle Eye” for detail and a “Midas Touch” for transformation—she quietly positioned herself as the invisible force behind Stratton Global’s rise. But power, when hidden, is often taken for granted. Betrayed, sidelined, and nearly erased by the very structure she helped build, Adriana is forced into a position she never sought—war against her own creation. What begins as a fight to reclaim her place quickly evolves into something far greater: exposing corruption, dismantling a deeply rooted syndicate, and recovering billions siphoned through deception. Yet reclaiming the empire is only the beginning. With enemies both inside and outside the system, public scrutiny, corporate politics, and high-stakes global deals closing in, Adriana must do more than survive—she must dominate. As she clears Stratton Global’s name, restores its reputation, and positions it for groundbreaking ventures like the hydrogen gas revolution, one truth becomes undeniable: She was never just part of the empire. She was the one who made it. Now, she’s taking it back—piece by piece, system by system, until nothing stands in her way. Power. Strategy. Betrayal. Redemption. And a woman who refuses to stop at victory.

Mia Rowan has no room for mistakes. As a scholarship student at the prestigious St. Aurelius Academy, she cannot afford distractions, scandals, or feelings. Her plan is simple: stay on top, protect her future, and never let anything get in the way. Then her closest friend, Ray Montrose, confesses to her. What should have stayed between them quickly turns into distance, tension, and rumors Mia cannot control. With the whole school watching, a student council president getting closer, and Ray becoming harder to understand by the day, Mia is forced to face something far more dangerous than failing. Her own heart.

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."

I am Lucy Drakonia, daughter of the Alpha King of Virelan, born to inherit a throne of fire, trained to command the Western host. But when I was declared wolfless at eighteen, I became a royal embarrassment. A curse. A defect. My pack tolerated me only as long as my bloodline was useful to them. Then my mate betrayed me. My unborn child was taken from me. And my father cast me out. Having no choice really, I vanish into the human world, rebuilding a quiet life far from pack cruelty. But on my twenty-third birthday, something strange stirs within me. Stranger creatures hunt me. Even the Supreme Alpha’s cursed son crosses my path. Most bizarre is the strange mark on my back that reveals that destiny does not belong to wolves alone… what had slept in my blood all this while—what had subdued my wolf nature at eighteen—was never meant to kneel. Now, packs, kingdoms, and ancient forces rise to claim or destroy me, including my old pack. The girl they exiled may be the key to a power older than the Lykara of Dominion itself.

Fate chose her. Power made him refuse. After being publicly rejected by her Alpha mate, she disappeared into the shadows. Years later, he finds her again—stronger, colder, and no longer his to command. But when the council demands their marriage to save the pack, old wounds reopen and dangerous secrets surface. Surrounded by rivals, lies, and unfinished bonds, she holds the one thing he never expected— The power to destroy him… or forgive him.

Five years of marriage. Five years of sleeping in separate rooms. Five years of watching her mate choose pack business over their bond. Maya Grant finally breaks. She walks into Alpha Connor Blackwood's office and says the words that shatter everything. "I want a formal rejection. I want out." Connor doesn't fight it. He signs the papers that same night. Cold. Efficient. Relieved. Three weeks later, Maya discovers she's pregnant. She runs before anyone finds out. Before Connor can use their pup as another chain to keep her trapped in a loveless bond. She disappears to Crescent Bay, a small coastal town outside pack territory, and builds a new life. A bakery. Friends who don't know what she is. A daughter named Riley who has her father's green eyes and her mother's strength. For two years, Maya is free. Then Connor walks into her bakery. He's there for a territorial summit with the coastal packs. He expects coffee and pastries. What he gets is the shock of his life. His rejected mate, alive and thriving. And a little girl who smells exactly like Blackwood bloodline. The mate he threw away. The daughter he never knew existed. Connor's wolf howls for them both. His human side drowns in regret. He thought letting Maya go was mercy. He thought she'd be happier without him. He was wrong about everything. Now he wants them back. But Maya isn't the broken woman who begged for his attention anymore. She's stronger. Fiercer. Done with alphas who think power means they can take whatever they want. Connor has thirty days before the summit ends and he has to return home. Thirty days to prove he's changed. Thirty days to win back the mate he destroyed and the daughter who doesn't know his name. But Maya's new life has protectors. The coastal Alpha who's been courting her for months. The human community that loves her. And her own iron will that says never again. Connor will have to do more than grovel. He'll have to become the mate she deserved from the beginning. And when her past and his present collide in a territorial war that puts Riley in danger, he'll have to choose between his pack and his family. This time, he already knows which one matters more.

But back at the palace, Aiden is realizing that breaking the bond didn't stop the hunger. He wants his wife back. He wants his son home.   But the Rogue doesn't play by pack rules, and he has no intention of letting his rescued treasure go back to the man who threw her away.   The Alpha wants his legacy.
