rejected

" 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.

Caution: This book contains mature content and is intended for matured readers. ***** I knew if he left this room, he'd keep fighting alone until his heart simply gave up. I hated him for it. I hated him for being so difficult, but the thought of him being gone made my stomach turn into a block of ice. My brain went numb. My instincts took over. I stepped in front of the door. My hands were shaking so hard I could barely feel them. I grabbed the hem of my dress. I can't believe I'm doing this for a man I wanted to kill an hour ago, I thought. But whatever was pulling me, didn't care about my anger. In one fast, desperate motion, I pulled the dress over my head and let it drop. The cold air hit my bare skin, making my nipples turn into hard, sensitive pebbles instantly. I stood there, completely naked, my heart hammering so loud it echoed in my ears. Oh! Moon Goddess, just end me already. **** She was too weak to stand beside him. And his heart already belonged to another. Azura Moryn knows the rules of the Crescent Moon Pack:power is everything, and without it, you are nothing. Rankless and orphaned, she has survived on the edges by being invisible. But invisibility is not weakness, it’s a choice. Behind her quiet exterior is a resilient spirit, a surprising bravery, and a clumsy, lovable heart that refuses to be crushed, even when the odds are impossible. Rhydor Drakemire has everything. Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, feared and respected. Groomed for greatness. And deeply in love with the woman he plans to make his Luna. So when fate makes Azura his mate, the choice is simple. He rejects her. A weakling has no place beside an Alpha. And he refuses to give up the woman he loves. The bond should have shattered. Instead, something ancient awakens. Forbidden magic stirs beneath the pack lands. Golden light erupts. Pain tears through them both. And when they wake, the world is wrong. Azura opens her eyes inside the Alpha’s body, strong, powerful, untouchable. Rhydor wakes in hers, powerless, scorned, and unseen. Now their souls switch without warning, trapping them in each other’s skin while enemies circle closer and the pack begins to fracture. Every secret they uncover changes what they thought they knew, about strength, about weakness, about each other. And beyond the pack borders, a brutal Alpha King rises, draining Lunas and hunting power in his obsession with immortality. Old prophecies resurface. Whispers spread of a truth long buried: Only a female Alpha can bring him down. As forbidden magic stirs and betrayal creeps closer than loyalty, an ancient legacy refuses to stay buried any longer. Azura is about to learn the truth of her own blood. And the mate Rhydor rejected may be the one fate chose to change everything. Some bonds are broken by pride. Some curses are written in blood. And some destinies can only be uncovered…

Being fated to three Alphas should have made her the most blessed she-wolf in the packs. Instead, it made her their game. One toyed with her life. One pretended to love her. One tried to control her power. But when betrayal shatters her heart, she leaves them all behind. Except... one Alpha refuses to let her escape. Because to him, she was never a pawn. She was always his mate. The mate he had waited...hundreds of years for. Valerie Jude was once the beloved daughter of the pack’s greatest warrior, until her father was executed for a crime he swore he never committed. Branded as a traitor’s daughter, she was stripped of her status and forced into slavery within the very pack her father once protected. For eight years, Valerie lived in silence, enduring humiliation, beatings, and hunger in the shadows of the pack house. Stripped of dignity, forced to survive as a slave, she learned one rule: .....endure, or die. Even her wolf became a secret she could never reveal. Because the truth behind her father’s death was more dangerous than she ever imagined. Days before the future alpha’s ascension, Valerie stumbles upon a conversation she was never meant to hear. A sick bet. A calculated betrayal. And a truth that shatters her remaining hope. The man she trusted is not her savior, but one of her tormentors. The alpha who ruined her life… is her fated mate. To him, the sacred mate bond is not a blessing, it is a punishment. A humiliation he plans to repay with cruelty, rejection, and destruction. To the others, Valerie is nothing more than a prize to be used and discarded. But fate was never done with her. As three alphas close in on her, each with their own twisted intentions or dark desires, Valerie stands at the edge of something far more dangerous than suffering. The awakening of the wolf she was forced to silence. When the truth behind her father’s execution begins to surface, and her wolf stirs once more, the three alphas will learn too late: The girl they broke was never weak. And the mate they planned to destroy… Was never meant to kneel!!!!!

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.

“I should’ve done better,” he whispered into the empty room. But some things… come too late. And some loves… don’t survive the silence between two people. Two hearts. Two lives. Still connected… by something they never fully understood. Love. Or maybe… Something even deeper. Something that never really ends.

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.

PROLOGUE A long time ago, dragons and werewolves lived under a fragile truce. But some werewolf rulers, driven by greed and envy of the dragons' fast-growing capital, wanted more. They couldn't stand the way dragons ruled the skies and the realm, their supremacy between seasons and all other nations. So they set out to destroy them. They released a deadly disease, one that only targeted dragon women and infants. One by one, dragon mothers died. Eggs never hatched. Mates went mad from grief. And many dragons withered and faded without their bonded mates. The weak ones were captured, locked in cages, paraded for amusement, and tortured in enemy dungeons for years. But the high-clan dragons never forgot. When they rose again, they came with fire. And the war that followed nearly destroyed the realm. All realms became enemies to one another. The humans were separated from supernatural beings for their preservation and safety. Their memory of a shared realm became only a myth told in scary stories and theories. Years after the betrayal, the dragons went into hiding. They built their kingdom in secret, away from wolves, away from humans. But they didn't forget what was taken from them. With no dragon women left, they turned to humans. They bred with them, trained them, and raised them—not for love, but for war. All for an army strong enough for the next battle against their enemies.

They say the moon sees everything—but it can’t heal a broken heart. Faye has spent years building a fortress around her soul. As the Delta of Silver Hollow, she is the shield of her pack, a warrior who doesn't flinch. But when Jason, the man who taught her how to love—and how to bleed—returns, her walls don't just crack; they shatter. How do you lead a war against an enemy when your heart still beats for the man standing on the other side? Across the pack lines, Wynta is running. A rogue by choice, she’s spent her life escaping the chains of commitment. But Jared, the rebellious heir with a lonely soul, sees the girl behind the bravado. He doesn't just want her loyalty; he wants her home. For a girl who has never belonged anywhere, his love is the most terrifying challenge of all. And then there is Luci. Caught in the crossfire of a world she doesn't understand, she finds an unexpected anchor in Easton Reed. He is the ice-cold hockey captain with a frozen heart, yet in his silence, Luci finds the only melody that makes sense. As the sky turns crimson and ancient rivalries demand a sacrifice, these four souls must decide: Is loyalty worth the price of a soulmate? Under the haunting glow of the blood moon, secrets will be screamed, sacrifices will be made, and "forever" will be tested by the ghosts of "never again." Will they find a way to belong, or is some love meant to be buried in the ash of war?

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.

One crown, and one candidate. Except, the sole heir doesn't want it either. Leander Halycra never wanted the throne, but now he has to bear the weight because once, he took the responsibility for one person. And that person ended up breaking his heart into a million pieces. Years later, he loses himself in those pieces as he tries to find contentment in the duties he avoided all his youth. But when the subject of his heartbreak, the now desperate and helpless Artmesia Montclair, reenters his life, he must realize its never truly possible to keep his heart guarded, and to love no longer.

“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."

On the night before her wedding, Arabella Montclair believed she was the luckiest wolf alive. Mated to the powerful Alpha Victor Ashford. Chosen by the Moon Goddess. 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.

You mean that Prince Yu wants to marry me?” “Exactly, young master, Prince Yu wants to marry you!” “Hell no! Is he out of his mind? Even if woman is a rare species nowadays, as the prince, he could have a chance to marry one. Is it because he got excluded, or maybe he has sexual impotence, so he could only marry a man?” you! “No, Prince Yu is charming, majestic, endowed with civil and martial virtues, and also in perfect health.” “Then why would he marry me?” “Maybe because of your reputation out there.” “Reputation? Am I quite famous?” “Of course. Young master, you’re far-famed.” “Really? What did they say about me?” “They said you are ugly, good-for-nothing, short-lived, a freak, with no morals, and shameless…” …

Crown Prince Rain Vale an heir only by title—never by heart. In the kingdom of Silverreach, omegas are meant to serve, not rule. Yet I was born the son of the consort and declared heir at birth, shattering centuries of tradition and igniting hatred in the hearts of my seven alpha brothers. To them, I am not a prince… but the moon's greatest mistake waiting to be corrected. My coming-of-age Howling Ceremony was meant to fix that mistake. A political spectacle designed to bind me to a powerful alpha and quietly strip me of power, ensuring Silverreach returns to its “proper” order. But the Moon has always loved cruel jokes. Instead of a conquering warlord, noble king, or domineering alpha, the bond binds to Caelan Moonfang—the fallen alpha of the Moonfang pack, a crippled Enigma. To my father, the match is an insult. To Caelan’s brother, it is humiliation. To the world, it is proof the Moon has lost its mind. But I knelt anyway and claimed him. Because I, Rain Vale, have never been obedient. And if the kingdoms see a mistake… I will become their worst.

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.
