Elara Veyne

"Ahh!" She writhed in a haze of moans, her body trembling with conflicting sensations. She loathed this man, yet every fiber of her being reacted to his touch. As his hands began to roam along her waist, she sucked in a sharp breath—the sudden pull of her back zipper sent a shiver down her spine. The metal slider halted at the small of her back, and as it opened, her upper back and waist were exposed, baring her skin to the cool air. "D-Don’t—mmph!" Her protest was smothered by the pillow as his fingers caressed her bare spine, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. With a deep, angry growl, he whispered harshly in her ear, "I'll make you forget every touch, every kiss, every thing about him. From now on, when you're with another man, you'll only see me."

Elara Vance was a withdrawn omega, often overlooked in the Silver Moon Pack for her quiet demeanor and unassuming appearance. But beneath her thick glasses lay a hidden crush on Rhys Knight, the pack's future Alpha and a notorious campus playboy. Rhys scoffed at mate bonds, treating relationships as disposable—until Elara's eighteenth birthday, when he publicly rejected her, turning her into the butt of every joke.

Now, Elara returns transformed—glasses discarded, her hair styled sleek and confident—and Rhys can't take his eyes off her. What if her blood holds a sacred heritage chosen by the Moon Goddess? What if the "humiliation" was part of a larger scheme? And when Rhys, the alpha who once dismissed her, kneels before her new love interest, Liam Thorne, begging for a second chance, who will claim victory in this battle of pride and passion?

Rejected by My Alpha Mate

I stood frozen in Orion's arms, trying to process what he'd just told me. Rhys's guards had been spotted in our territory. After four years of careful anonymity, had my past finally caught up with me?


"Wait," I pulled back slightly, looking up at Orion's face. "Did you cut the power to my house?"


A small smile played at the corners of his lips. "I needed to make sure no one saw me enter. I didn't mean to scare you."


"Well, you failed spectacularly at that," I sighed, my racing heart finally beginning to slow. "I thought I was being kidnapped."


"By someone who smells like me?" His eyebrow quirked up, clearly amused now.


I smacked his chest lightly. "I was terrified before I caught your scent!"


Orion's expression sobered as he led me to the couch. We sat down, his large frame dwarfing my smaller one. In the dim light of my living room, his blue eyes seemed to glow slightly, reminding me of his Alpha status.
