《Alpha's rejected mate》Chapter 17
Advertisement
"Alex! Blake! Both of you open the freaking door"
I groaned and moved closer to Blake. His hold on me tightened.
"Blake! Blake! Wake up!", yelled Ash.
I slowly got out of Blake's grip and Blake groaned. I unlocked my phone to see the time. It was 1 o'clock.
I slowly opened the door. Ash was waiting impatiently. Today she and Elliott are on patrolling duty with the other guards, so they were awake.
I asked, " What the hell Ash!? It's 1 in the morning!". She ignored me.
She entered the room and looked at Blake and said , " Aiden called. Dark moon pack has been attacked . He said they have been attacked by rogues. "
Hearing this Blake was awake. He pulled on a t-shirt lying on the floor. Pulling it over he ordered," Ash, I want you and Elliott in my office. Also wake Nate! Now! "
He went out of the room. Ash was still here.
I called," Ash? What is happening? "
Ash replied," Blake didn't tell you about AL?"
I asked," Was he supposed to?"
She said, " You have to ask him Alex. It's his story to tell"
After that she went out. I slowly went down to Blake's office. He was talking on the phone walking around the office.
" I don't care Landon! ", he yelled.
After few seconds, he yelled again, " You should know who would have attacked!"
After a minute, he spoke a bit calmly now, " You are an Alpha! You know that we can't just blame them! We need solid evidence!"
He then asked in the phone, " when?...... 7? Evening?"
He then cut the call. He was so frustrated. He ran his hand through his hair.
He then turned around and saw me. He just came forward and hugged me. I didn't ask him any questions.
He buried his head in my neck. Calming himself.
He whispered," Thank you"
I didn't reply him. I just pulled away from the hug and intertwined my fingers with him and pulled him with me to our room.
I pushed him to sit on the sofa and sat opposite to him.
He again ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
He said, " I know that you have a lot of questions. But just listen. Okay?"
I nodded.
He started, " I have an older sister. Alana Lily Knight. We call her AL. She was the girl every one wanted to be. And every children wanted in a sister. She was the best older sister. She was supposed to be the Alpha but when she found her mate she left. She was 18 when she found him. I was 15 at that time and Ash was 13. She said she was going to bring us a gift and went out but never returned. The whole pack was a mess. No one knew whether she was kidnapped or dead. I was forced to look after the pack. We survived for 3 years, the pack elders along with the warriors they took care of the pack until I turned 18. After 18 I became the Alpha. I sent search parties in search for AL but no clue was found.

When I turned 20, I got an anonymous letter. It was from AL. She said that she was safe. She has a mate and that she knew that I will be the perfect Alpha for the pack so that's why she left. I wanted to forgive her for leaving us. But I can't. I sent more search parties for her.
A year back that is when I was 21, I was on a business trip to a pack. It was the Dark Moon Pack. Their Alpha Landon and I had a meeting. He said he wanted me to meet his mate and pack. I agreed. Do you know who I saw there. AL. She was his mate. He didn't know that she was a Knight. He said he didn't care but he was hurt that his mate lied to him. I was hurt that my sister lied to me. But he forgave her eventually. I didn't. I wanted to know why.
She never fully explained me why she left. A few days later, the whole pack disappeared. It wasn't attacked or killed. They just disappeared. I sent the search parties again.
Do you remember the day after I met you? Aiden called? It was about the dark moon pack . We found the from a information by a rogue. Dark moon pack was attacked by the rogues. So they went into hiding . When I found her, I asked her why she left us. She explained that she left us because she wanted to protect us. But the truth is she moved away was because she found a clue. A clue to who killed our parents. "
I stood up and went and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me.
I said," You don't have to continue "
But he shook his head and continued," Our parents including yours were killed at the same place but different timings. We lost the betas , when they were trying to protect my family. My dad and mom died in a car accident just like your parents."
I was shocked.
I asked him, " What do you mean by this? "
He said," They were murdered. The car accident was a cover up. It seems like Elliott's parents found it. They went in search of something after a month of their death. A week later we received the news that they were dead. AL knew it. But she chose to not to tell us. I mean I was 15. But can't she just say that our parents were murdered! "

I just hugged him closer.
I asked him," Did Aiden know about it? I mean that our parents were murdered. "
Blake nodded," He came to know about it sometime after he found you. "
Why didn't he tell me?
Blake sensing my question," He didn't want to worry you. He just then got his baby sister. "
I said," okay "
We heard a knock on out door.
We heard Nate's voice, " Blake? "
Blake replied," one second Nate! "
He lifted me up in bridal style and put me on the bed, pecked my lips and forehead and said," You should sleep. I'll be back in 5 minutes after talking to Nate. Tomorrow or should I say today is going to be a long day for you importantly. "
He switched of the lamps and went out.
Even after all the things he told me, I felt like he was hiding something from me. I was afraid of the truth he was hiding from me.
After sometime I felt the door open and close. I felt the bed dip on the other side of the bed. After seconds I felt hands circling my waist and pulling me to a hard chest.
I heard him whisper, " Good night Lexi"
After that I heard his soft breathings.
I face him and my hands involuntarily went to his cheek. I slowly drew circles on his cheek.
I slowly whispered, " What are you hiding from me Blake?"
With that sleep took over me.
The next morning I woke up before Blake. Getting out of his grip, I went to the restroom washed my face and changed into some gym clothes. I was just 5.
I wasn't feeling sleepy. Whenever I feel like someone is hiding something from me. It keeps me awake. I don't get any sleep.
The whole pack was asleep. There were few people here and there and the patrolling guys.
I went to the gym and spent a good 2 hours there. After an hour , the gym started filling up.
The whole pack trains at 4 in the morning or 6 in the evening and one day of the week the pack has a total day off. No training. Today is our day off.
When I returned to the room, Blake was still sleeping. I closed the door silently. I went near him and kissed his lips and was about to go when I felt his hand around my wrist pulling me towards him.
I fell on top of him. I said, " Cheater. You were faking your sleep."
He smirked. He said, " If I was awake, I wouldn't have gotten the kiss."
I replied, " If you were awake we would have had a make out session. No problem. It's your loss. You were sleeping."
I just shrugged my shoulders and smirked at him. I got off from him. But again he pulled me towards him. This time I didn't fall on him.
He said arrogantly , " Now I'm awake. So let's make out shall we? "
I rolled my eyes and and said," But I'm sweaty from being in the gym. So no"
He looked me up and down and said, " You are hot."
I blushed. He saw the time on his phone.
He said, " I have a meeting at 8:30. If I didn't take bath now, I can only bath at 8. So.."
I knew what he was thinking. He pushed me on the bed and ran to the bathroom.
I yelled a him, " Cheater! "
I heard him chuckle. I just grinned and went to the closet to take my clothes. I heard our door open.
It was Ashley.
I said," Hey Ash "
She said, " Hey Alex! It seems things between you and my brother are normal. So you forgave him?"
I was confused.
I asked, " Forgive him for what?"
She was confused now, " His bad habits?"
I asked her still confused, " What habits? He didn't mention any habits to me. He told me about your sister and your parents. "
She said," He didn't tell you that he used to sleep around?"
What the hell! I felt betrayed.
I asked, " What?! "
He was the only person I truly trusted told everything about and yet he didn't tell me everything.
The truth that could change our relationship.

8 758The Youngest Divinity
The continent of Vaine is a place of technological and magical might. It is the pinnacle of human brilliance, and is more powerful than it has ever been—truly approaching a never-before-seen golden age of magic. But what if that was all a lie? Dominic, shipwrecked and confused, wakes up one day on the shore of a continent which shouldn't be there. No maps in Vaine show it; no sailors have ever reached it; as far as anybody knows, the continent of Hesia does not and has never existed. In the last thousand years, no one has left, and no one has made it in. And on this hidden continent, he finds demons—a race of people who are far more adept at magic than humans. As Dominic uncovers the lost history of the two lands, he must come face to face with kings, mages, gods, and the dark past of the most powerful organization in Vaine, which has long done everything it possibly could to keep those skeletons buried. And they're not the only ones who can keep a secret. YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS IF: ↠ You like long-running fantasy stories with an intrigue/mystery focus. The world is vast and full of secrets—and our main character is not one to tell. Be careful what you believe, because Dominic himself might be the one lying to you. ↠ You enjoy decisive protagonists that don't have qualms about what tactics solving some problems may require. ↠ You like dragons. I like dragons. By the gods, there will be dragons. AUTHOR'S NOTES: ↠ This is not a webtoon. I only draw illustrated chapters for the prologues to each book and for the side stories at the end of each book. All drawings including covers are done by me. ↠ Release schedule is 2 chapters per week, every Wednesday and Saturday at 3:15PM CST. ↠ Up to 8 advanced chapters (4 weeks of releases) are available on Patreon.

8 229Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
8 192Conflicted Feelings
What does it mean to be loved? What does it mean to be their parents’ everything? What does it mean to be someone’s home? Erminae didn’t really know. It wasn’t for the lack of trying. But, she thought with envy, wasn’t it just what Vicenzio had? She saw her mother’s indifference, saw her father’s unresponsiveness. Whoever she tried hard to get close to the result was the same. She was but air for them. She saw that woman came in with her son. She saw him get what she always desired. Her jealousy turned her into another person, an ugly one, blinding her to other possibilities. And ultimately, she understood, what she was searching for she would never get. This was when she finally learned to let go… _________________ First part finished
8 66Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
