Can Saige accept the help of the Alpha, who rejected and broke her heart? Not once, but twice.

Saige Callahan described herself as an ugly duckling. Mean girls bullied her because she did not follow the social norm. No boys showed interest in her until the hottest boy in school did.
Of course, her stupid heart fell for him until he told her it was just a bet and dumped her.

Years later, she bumped into him, falling again to his irresistible charms. She thought their love, this time, would last forever until he rejected her once more.

Heartbroken, she buried herself in her research, avoiding love at all costs, focusing only on saving her mother from a rare disease. Sadly, her mother died before she could find the cure.

Face with mountains of debt, a dependent teenage brother, and a company on the verge of bankruptcy, she desperately searches for a solution. 

But what if the answer is her ex? Could she forgive and forget and give their love a third chance?

Xavier Axel Lockwood was the popular guy in school that everybody wanted and wished to be. Girls loved him because he was rich, hot, and a typical bad boy.

Things changed when his father declared him the youngest Alpha of the Blood Redwood Pack. He became mature and responsible, proving he was a great leader. 

Nobody dared to cross him, that was, until he crossed paths with a witch! Cursed, he must marry his Rejected Luna and make her fall in love with him again.

Will he be able to do so before his time runs out?

"What is it?" He asked, wanting her to leave before he lost his control altogether. 
He knew he was hanging by a thin thread every second she stood before him. If she kept sending him mixed signals, she was asking for trouble. 
This time, he doubted if he could save her from himself.
"Did you... Did we...?" But she stopped, seemingly embarrassed to ask her question. "I meant, did something happen between us last night?"
Of course, she did not remember that part. But fortunately for her, there was nothing much to remember.
"I don't need you high as a kite to claim your body. You already know that." After their two-year relationship, she should know by now what he was like.
"And if something happened to us last night, you would know because you won't be able to stand up." He knew the distance between them was not enough to stop the impact of his words on her.
He believed it was evident with her erratic pulse rate, her uneven breathing, and the scent she emitted when aroused. He concluded she remembered how good they were together. Now, she was as horny as him.
"But I will not force you because I know you will come willingly to my bed on your own accord in time." He confidently reminded her. "And I promise. You will remember every detail of us together."
Then, he turned away from her and walked into the closet to get some fresh clothes. But more than that, he just needed more space between them.
"But I am not yours. Not anymore. Not ever." He could hear her whispering.
"You have no right to claim me. No right at all." She continued.
"And I will never come willingly back in your arms or your bed." She swore before he heard the door open and closed.
"Never is a long time. But I can patiently wait."
