"I, Valerie Ava Montrell…reject you, Alpha Ronald Ewan, and the Blood Moon Pack as my pack!" "Don't you dare, Omega! You will regret it," Ronald seethed, clutching his chest in pain as the bond snapped. Before he could reach me, Alpha Niklaus stepped forward, lifting me into his arms and striding out. "Keep the girl down, Alpha Niklaus." Niklaus only tightened his hold on me, his gaze sweeping over them. "Valerie is no longer a member of this pack," he declared, before cupping my face with surprising gentleness. "And I am not leaving here without her, because she is my mate." "You are f*ck*ng lying!" Ronald bellowed, a growl vibrating through his chest."Prove to us that she is your mate." My new mate let out a low chuckle. "And how do they prove the mate bond? Will a kiss do?" His eyes locked with mine, asking for permission. My heart raced, but I found myself nodding. Niklaus closed the distance between us and captured my lips in a kiss. My knees went weak instantly, the mate bond surging to life and intensifying what should have been a simple kiss. Mates are supposed to protect each other—but why do mine keep tearing my soul apart? As Alpha Ronald's mate, I thought I'd hit the jackpot. But time proved that it was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I was left wondering if even the goddess herself had forsaken me. Just when I had given up on everything, the impossible happened: I found another mate, another Alpha. Would he be my salvation—or my downfall? Would he treat me with the care I'd longed for, or would he turn out to be just like the one before him? With my heart still fragile from the abuse I had endured, trusting again seemed impossible. Yet something about this stranger pulled me in, making me wonder: could I finally have the love I deserve, or am I about to face an even greater monster in disguise?

"Her name is Anna," my father announced, his hand resting proudly on her shoulder. "She is my biological daughter, kidnapped at the age of three and lost for many years. And from today onward, she will take over Quinn's Enterprise as the new CEO and my successor." The room froze. "No… no, this can't be happening…" Melissa whispered, her voice trembling. ""Did I hear that right or am I drunk again?"" Just a few minutes ago, both of us stood here confidently assuming she was some random waiter. And now, reality crashed down on them. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Mine's been chilling for five years. The night James Reed kicked me out of his life, I was pregnant, penniless, and naive enough to believe love mattered more than money. He taught me better. When you're bleeding out in the rain, clutching your stomach while your best friend laughs from his doorway, you learn exactly what you're worth to people like them. Zero. But the woman who nearly died that night? She stayed dead. The one who came back is someone else entirely. Anna Quinn. Lost daughter of California's most powerful family. CEO of her own pharmaceutical empire. And the silent majority shareholder in James Reed's failing company. He's about to learn what happens when you build an empire on stolen foundations. His marriage has cracks he doesn't see. And the investors keeping him afloat? They answer to me now. He thinks he's untouchable. That my formula made him invincible. But success built on stolen work has a way of crumbling when the original genius decides to pull the rug out. I don't want him back. I want him ruined. And this time, I'm the one holding all the cards.

They were already married for three years when Alpha Damian Zeus’s long-lost first love, Lily, returned bringing along a five-year-old pup. Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love." He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?" So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents. The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself." Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go. Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration." Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory. When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else." But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

The Alpha’s Chubby Obsession by Meritsky One day, I was the fat, unwanted girl rejected by the Beta's son. The next minute, the Alpha's son himself showed up... and claimed me.
