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Elara Vance was a withdrawn omega, often overlooked in the Silver Moon Pack for her quiet demeanor and unassuming appearance.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

The music pulsed back to life, but it faded into background noise as Rhys Knight and his entourage commanded the room. They moved through the crowd with that same swagger I remembered from our university days—that effortless confidence that drew everyone's attention.


Time had only enhanced Rhys's presence. His shoulders were broader, his jawline sharper, and his dark eyes held an intensity that made my skin prickle. The silver ring in his eyebrow caught the light as he scanned the room, his gaze briefly meeting mine before deliberately moving on. Four years had passed, but the electricity was still there—unwanted but undeniable.


I clutched my glass tighter, grateful for Orion's steadying presence beside me.


"So that's the famous Rhys Knight," Orion commented, his voice neutral but his body language alert. "Doesn't look like much."
