The Rejected Alpha
For long moments I could not gather my thoughts or my words, so I continued to look into her eyes. I am 17 in a couple of weeks. Giselle has been my girl since I was 15. I am a typical young Alpha male. I had not considered finding my mate just yet. The time was fast approaching, but I wasn't ready to think that far into the future. I love Giselle, but I am also a traditional Alpha male. I know that whoever is my Goddess-given mate, I will be with only them...once we find each other. I thought all of this in my head and knew it to be a fact in my heart that I would never choose another over my true mate. It was unfortunate that my mouth didn't know what the brain and the heart had decided because I heard myself say "I love Giselle. I am not leaving her for anyone." I waited for Emerald's response as I watched her face. The only change was her eyes. They shone a bit brighter. "Understood, but Daniel Ali Medina, you need to understand that we are destined fated mates. Your rejection of our union will harm us both. I respect the decision. Just know that you will regret your decision. I don't give out second chances nor forgive disloyalty, betrayal, and cheating. When the time comes, remember I warned you." Five years later It is time for Medina to face the consequences of not heeding his true mates warning.⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ 🌙The Rejected Alpha is being edited and revised .Complete

I am his queen, his weakness, his carnal transgression. I will take him as my own and ride out this delusion with him come what may.

I suffocated the whispers, murdered my rational logic in that moment. Death was swift for the girl in my mind looking down with a frown on my actions. I laughed again, knowing this would be my undoing, enjoying the unraveling of my sanity, leaving it in shards on the ground. Because I had made up my mind.
