Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 19: Hide and Seek
{ Nicholas POV } I was done. I was done pretending I don't want this woman in my life right now. I was done denying that I wanted her— not because of the mate bond. Fact is, I was jealous of Kyle. Maybe the Moon goddess' idea of preventing her from recognizing me was actually good, I wanted her to love me for me not because some force is pulling us together. I want to make her fall for me. I kept one eye on the road as my Mustang sped along the highway, while the other remained fixed on her. She sat next to me in the front seat, giving me a perfect view of her soft features—round face, soft lips and thick long lashes fanning her cheeks, her deep brown eyes focused on the road. Fuck the deal. She can try to run all she wants. I'd love to play this hide and seek game with her because I'm definitely going to catch her. The wind blew softly from the car's windows fanning her hair backwards just enough to reveal her slender neck. My eyes trailed along it slowly, I imagined how beauti
Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 18: Paper Trails.
[Elena's POV] I wished I had never opened that file.I had walked into that archive seeking evidence, and I found something worse—proof that the people I trusted the most had been playing a longer game than I ever imagined.Eight months! Eight fucking months. I suddenly felt like a complete fool. Eight months ago I was busy hiring the best skincare expert in town to make sure my face was spotless, choosing the perfect style for my wedding dress while my father's downfall was being plotted. A surge of emotions crashed down on me—something between rage, regret, and one other I couldn't quite name. I stared down hard at the file, maybe to see if my eyes were seeing wrong, but they weren't. It was crystal clear. I wanted to cry but couldn't find the tears. “Elena, we have to leave now," Lia said urgently. I folded the file gently and tucked it in my jacket's inner pocket, took a deep breath to calm my throbbing nerves, then slipped into the passage—the same one I had come through. The p

[ Nicholas POV ] “Deal.”I said it immediately she pronounced the last word. Watched something flicker across her face—she was expecting resistance, maybe even hoping for it. Resistance would have given her something to push against.I wasn't going to give her that.She held my gaze for three seconds longer than necessary and then looked down at the file. I picked up my coffee. The evening light was doing something unreasonable to her face, and I made a point of looking elsewhere.Kyle was insufferably smug.“Strictly business,” I said again, mostly to myself.“Exactly.” She didn't look up.Right. Just right. My own mate made me sign a deal not to develop feelings that were already enforced by the bond she hasn't yet recognized, and I don't know why that is. But maybe it's for the best—if she knows I'm her mate now, she might reject us, and I don't want that. I don't want this bond now either, but it seemed like the Moon Goddess chose to punish me for my sins in the best way possib
Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 16: Reluctant Yes
{ Elena's POV } It was freaking 9pm and that bastard isn't back home yet. I hope he isn't somewhere fucking some derided bitch, I'll kill him if he is. He's so far away I can't even mindlink him, his phone is switched off too. My muscles hadn't been able to relax since I left the east border that morning. I've been pacing around my room like a lunatic. My head is spinning too with each second passing by. Mother had come to check on me multiple times to see if I was alright, because obviously, my uneasiness was visible even though I tried my best to hide it over lunch. Nicholas' last words had been playing like a ridiculous song in my head. I can't seem to turn it off. An attempted murder tied to blackstone pack—what the hell! Joining forces with him—Nicholas freaking Hale! Might seem has a good idea, I mean, he's powerful and attractively dangerous, his aura says it all—Oh goddess I love powerful men but I don't trust myself. I might do crazy things if I'm around that man, really
Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 15: Alliance Forming.
{ Nicholas POV } I stepped aside, and he strode in like he owned the place—actually he did; the building was one of the many rental properties owned by the Crescent Moon pack. I'd realized that when I moved in, Dorian booked the place, so staying here wasn't intentional, but I guess Dorian knew how to plan coincidences. “So…” I started, shutting the door, “What brings you here?”“Taking an apartment on one of our properties, huh? Is that a strategy to get closer to my sister?” Ambrose said, already relaxed on one of the couches, his voice cold. “Funny,” I chuckled, taking a seat on one of the couches across from him, “actually, I heard your houses had the tightest security and perfect interior decor, so why not?” A smug smile formed on my lips. He eyed me warily, and it only made my smile grow wider. “You care for a drink? I got whatever Roseville stores had to offer.”“And you think offering me a drink is the best decision you can make after catching you touching my sister.” Ambros
Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 14: You In Or Not
{ Nicholas POV } She came.I'll admit, I wasn't entirely sure she would. Elena Rivers strikes me as the kind of woman who does the opposite of what you expect just to prove she can. But came, right on time, coat pulled tight against the cold, arms tucked in pockets. Kyle was insufferable the entire walk to the border. I'd stopped responding to him by the time I spotted her pacing.She didn't hear me coming. I stood there for exactly three seconds watching her mutter something under her breath, probably cursing me, before I announced myself.“Hey.” She turned and I felt it. That pull. Same as always. Worse than always, actually, because this time she was sucking me all in with her gaze—she scanned me from head to toe, lips slightly apart. I chuckled to myself at her reaction, she had it every single time we met, she could feel us but why she hasn't recognized us yet still unravels me. As much as I hate to admit—I wanted her. Simple as that and complicated as hell. I wanted to claim
Marked by the moon—Rejected by my Alpha mate CHAPTER 13: The Proposal
[Elena's POV]My pulse quickened. I didn't need to think twice to know who sent the letter. Nicholas Hale, my handsome stalker. What hat does he want now? “You should go.” Lia muttered. “Of course you would say I should go.” I rolled my eyes at her, and she huffed. I looked outside the window to

Elena's POVAnother growl thundered and I knew for sure something was definitely wrong else what would make my father summon the entire pack at this time of night. “No…nothing should go wrong now, not after all that happened. Spare us Moon goddess.” I prayed silently. Taking a deep breath, I star

Elena's POV The forest was too quiet. No crickets. No wind. Just the sound of my heart pounding like a war drum in my chest.I don't know how long I've been running, but I know I'm close to the borders of Roseville, the most dangerous part of the city, prone to frequent rogue attacks. I had to sto

Elena's POV“You look beautiful,” Melissa said as she finished doing my makeup, admiring the perfect job she had done on my face.“Lucan's jaw is going to drop when he sees you,” she teased and I smiled.I was beyond excited today. It was my wedding!Today I'm getting married to my childhood sweeth
