"No higher power would listen to someone like me, but I would get on my knees and beg them to let me keep you. To prove to you how much I care about you and how much it kills me to have let you go. I would take on that pain for you, all of it, if I could. Despite everything you might think, you are the center of my existence."

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_
49 parts Complete Mature
Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)

Book 2 in the Rootbridge Pack series. You DON'T need to have read book 1 in order to enjoy this. You'll find a plot summary for An Alpha's Alpha (Book 1) in Chapter 1. J, has been through a lot. A harrowing upbringing was followed by her and her pack being chased by a murderous alpha, Caine, who was intent on owning and destroying J's Alpha, Cassidy. Now, finally, after years of being on the run, J is...safe. She's always been on the outside, a lone wolf with just enough humanity left to attach herself to Cassidy and her pack, but now she's being offered a life in a loving, safe pack, with friends who are practically family. For anybody else it would be a good thing, a chance at happiness, but for J there's just one obstacle standing in her way: The King is dead, long live the King. She may have killed Caine, but his pack need an Alpha and right now, they think it's her. Realising the biggest threat to her pack is herself, J forces herself to leave and set out on her own. She should have known it would never be that easy. Whispers have travelled about Cassidy's protector. About the woman more wolf than most. * Alpha of the Blackoath pack, Logan Black, has been watching J for a while now. Sure, he tried to stop himself but his wolf is obsessed and so is he. Knowing he can never truly have her, he resigns himself to being her unofficial stalker, protector and guardian angel. So, when an underprepared alpha tries to capture her, he readies himself to go to her defence, but he should have known better. As he watches J destroy the pack who'd been sent to capture her, he realises that maybe, just maybe, he's found the only wolf in existence strong enough to match him. Strong enough to be his mate. Strong enough to kill him. However, when it comes down to it, Logan can't quite bring himself to ask the woman of his dreams to end his life, so instead lets her go - and that's where it all goes wrong.

Well then... Skyelar I'm not the one who dreams about meeting their mate. Or living in a pack, dutifully filling out their pack rank. As soon as I finish school I'm diving straight into the deep end of the world. I want to travel, explore, find myself and my place in the world. I wanna learn and go to uni, live in my own place and do what the hell I wanna do! I will fight to great lengths to ensure that I get these opportunities and nothing is gonna stop me. Karydiarn Life hasn't exactly been a good one for me. I know I'm damaged. I know I'm messed up. But I also know that somewhere there might just be the possibility of a mate. And I'm dreading it. The commitment, responsibility, accountability, all the emotions and dug up dirt. I can't honestly say whether I'd be better off with or without a true mate but what matters for the strength of my pack to stay on top is to have strong leaders. So if I settle for another woman as my mate it's gonna be the most likely. But a mate and future leadership of the pack is the least of my worries since I have to ensure that there actually is a pack by the end of this. I'm in far too deep for any hindrances. Butting heads from the get go, Skye will never let go that there's so much more that she wants from the world, and refuses to acknowledge what she needs might be right in front of her. Karydiarn can't let go of the ideology he's thrived off all these miserable years, he knows something's got to change but he'll be hell bent on ensuring it's not him that's changing. "It's like it's right in front of me, she's right in front of me..." UNDER EDITING & CONSTUCTION ! !

"Death was something she hadn't thought of much before. Which she heard was normal for her age. In your twenties, even as a teenager, you never envision yourself dying. You think you're invincible. But with the heaviness of her body, the acute pain throbbing throughout every nerve, the burning of her lungs, she imagined this is what death would feel like. Even though she couldn't die, because technically, she was invincible. But a part of her craved that sudden release, anything to escape this torture."
