THE REJECTED MATE BOOK ONE
29 parts Complete Mature"I, Alex Haynes, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, reject you, Eleanor Jackson, as my mate," Alex's voice rang out coldly.
A sharp pain pierced Eleanor's heart, but she didn't let it show. Not now. She stood tall, crossing her arms over her chest, her face a mask of defiance. "I accept your rejection with pleasure," she spat back, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Better to be alone than to be mated to an arrogant asshole."
Inside, the words stung more than she'd admit, even to herself. The bond that had sparked between them had been torn apart, leaving a raw ache in its wake. But she refused to let him see that. Not Alex.
Her heart may have been breaking, but her pride remained unshaken.
