rejected

"No! It can't be!" I let out an internal hiss. "He wouldn't dare come here!" "Zara," my father uttered next. "I understand that you are familiar with Alpha Noah." I swallowed the lump that had appeared in my throat, and I slowly nodded my head. "Great," my father said, a smile forming on his lips. "Alpha Noah has also informed me that you are his fated mate." "Is that so?" I finally found my voice. Both my father and Alpha Noah nodded. "Were you told by Alpha Noah that he rejected me more than a year ago?" My father's smile wavered as Alpha Noah's face turned to ash. "There is more," I said. "He rejected me in favor of a mate he chose." **** Zara Silverwood is a silver wolf descended from one of the most powerful packs on the continent.
