Rejected To Be Your Second Chance
Ms.M · Completed · 186.1k Words
Introduction
Alpha Sebastian lifted his head. His thick hair blew back as the door to the house opened and a wind swept in.
“I, Alpha Sebastian of the Red Moon Pack, accept your rejection.”
Yes, it hurt to be rejected. Your mate was the one person in the entire world that was meant for you and the stories I had heard were glorious. Like the only two pieces of a puzzle, you find each other and become whole. You will never love anyone as you love your mate. And you never got a second chance. It was very rare, and I had just rejected mine.
Layla Lecruest, is a fierce, brave, and strong-willed girl who never cared about fitting in but neither did she plan to stand out as much as she did. Believing to be a normal wolf, the daughter of a former Beta, she never thought herself to be special. Little did she know that she held a gene that many believed to have been gone for a long time.
When she finds out that her mate is the Alpha who spent his life tormenting her, they quickly reject each other on the spot. Unbeknownst to them, Alpha Kade was on his way and would turn everything upside down as her second chance mate. The notorious Alpha Kade was famous for his strength and his ability to lead his pack. He earned respect wherever he went and when he arrived at the Red Moon Pack, he swore he wouldn't leave without his mate.
What happens when Layla finds herself stuck between her former and current mate as well as a pack of wolves with superior powers who thought she belonged to them? And what happens when another, even bigger secret is revealed?
Chapter 1
"Hey, you! Clean this shit up," I sighed and grabbed the bucket, and cleaned up the water that she had spilled on the floor. Just as I bent over, I felt another pour over my head.
"Oops, how clumsy of me," she laughed. I wiped it all up and drained the cloth in the bucket. When I got up, I wiped the sweat and water from my face and turned around. All I could imagine was wrapping my hands around their throats.
"Layla, get over here!" Oh, fuck me.
Alpha douchebag waved me over with that little finger of his. I could only imagine the pleasure of cutting it off, but I don't think the bucket is sharp enough to get a clean cut.
"Yes, Alpha?"
"Drop the attitude. You have one more job before you leave," I shook my head and dropped the bucket from my hand.
"No, I don’t; we said two hours a day, and my two hours are up."
"Did I ask if you're pleased?" he asked and stepped closer.
"No, Alpha."
"I need you to clean Missy's room and change the sheets," he said with a disgusting grin on his face.
"Why do I have to clean your girlfriend's room?"
"Because I told you to, and I am your Alpha. Which means you will obey the order. You’re the one that got yourself into this mess, so you better pay the price for it, and maybe next time you won't break the Beta’s nose." One week ago, I was outside minding my business and the Beta and their bitch clique came up to me. Most times, I could handle their bullying, but this time Alpha Sebastian tripped me in front of several of the pack members. He and his Beta pointed and laughed, and my hand just flew, and I watched as it made contact with the Beta’s nose, making a cracking sound as it broke.
For as long as I could remember, I was the one that Alpha Sebastian had it out for.
I remember being a child and playing around; he would shove me and hit me, and as we grew older, it became more violent and more dominating. Whenever I would hit back, I would get blamed because they couldn't have the others know that the Alpha got beat up by a girl. His parents were barely around, and when he was fifteen, they left for six months, leaving him in charge with the former Beta, my father.
His father was a power-hungry fanatic who stepped over anyone to get his way. His mother always just gawked over whatever diamond her husband bought her, and their two kids, Sebastian and his sister Elsa, were spoiled rotten.
I was in Missy’s disgustingly pink room. I changed the bedding and opened her window to air out the smell of sex and fluids.
After I stopped my third throw-up attempt, I walked out and closed the door and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.
"Are you done?" I groaned and looked at Alpha Sebastian coming down the hallway.
"I’m done," I said and tossed with my arms.
He walked up close, close enough for me to smell the herb mix he always drank because he thought it would help build strength.
"I’m glad; now wash those sheets, and then you’re done." I scoffed and looked at him dumbfounded.
"We never discussed washing in the deal. You’re joking with me, right? We have Omegas that wash,"
"Yes, we have Omegas, but I have you, and I'm asking you to wash them. Is that going to be a problem?" Say no, just fucking say no, and do it.
"No," I seethed.
"Great," he smirked and walked away.
I tossed the sheets into the machine and closed the lid.
The machine ran, and I jumped up on the table and waited for it to be done. My phone rang, and I saw my older sister’s name light up.
"Hey, what’s up?" I asked and swung my legs.
"Where are you? Dinner is ready,"
"I’m doing laundry,"
"Was that part of the deal?"
"Nope,"
"Damn, you pissed him off, huh?" Tracey said, sounding a little glum.
"Yeah, you know, I think it started that day when mom went to the hospital, and I came out of her. I'm a hundred percent sure that that’s when the hatred began." She laughed on the other line, and I lifted a brow.
"Whatever, just get home soon, alright? And if he tells you to do something else, just break his nose and take the punishment for it—Tracey!" My mom scolded her in the background.
"I mean no, don't do that, just get home before the dinner gets cold."
We hung up, and the machine beeped. I put it on the shortest program and then tossed it in the dryer, and then I left.
On my way home, I saw a flyer taped to a lamp pole.
"Meeting of Alphas," The meeting of Alphas was a pretty big deal, and I had no freaking clue how our pack got the honor of hosting it this year.
"Hey, I'm home!" I walked around the corner into the kitchen and saw my sister and her mate going to the counter. His tongue was snaking into her mouth, and her hands were trailing down his body. The shiver I felt was the only thing that made me realize that I was seeing this and that it wasn't a nightmare.
"Guys, come on! We have like four bedrooms; use one!" Tracey turned her head, and her mate just started kissing down her neck as she looked glum.
"Don’t be jealous; you’re gonna find your mate soon. You’re getting your wolf in just a few days." She said and smiled widely in pure joy. Three days to be exact. I had been counting them down to the second, and I couldn't wait. Not because I would find my mate, but because I could finally fight with the others.
We sat down around the table. I saw my dad’s hand snake around my mother's waist, and I gagged.
"What is up with all of you? You’re acting like you can't stop touching each other; it’s gross,"
"Honey, it’s the heat. You know what that does to werewolves," my mother said and looked lovingly into my father's eyes.
"You’ll feel it too, so you better stay inside the next few days," Tracey said. Male wolves during heat season were nothing to play with.
All I saw on the streets the next day was people going at it. In the midst of them all planning for the meeting of the Alphas, they would pause the painting to lick each other’s faces.
I walked up the wooden stairs in the pack house and down to Alpha Sebastian's room and knocked on the door but didn't get an answer.
"Hello?" I screamed.
"Come in!" I opened the door and gasped.
"Ah, fuck, Sebastian!" She moaned.
"Shut up; we have a guest," his hand was entangled in Missy’s hair, and he pushed her head down to his exposed length.
She took it in her mouth and started sucking him off.
I turned my head and put a hand on my stomach when I felt the dinner from yesterday fighting its way up.
"No need to be shy; you can join us if you’d like." He flicked his tongue and groaned when she took him deeper.
"What do you need me for?" I asked with my head still turned.
"The Omegas need help decorating for Friday. You’ll help them for the rest of the week. Everything should be perfect for when the other Alphas arrive," he groaned.
"Yes, Alpha."
"Oh, and Layla, if it isn't perfect and precisely as I have asked, you’ll bear the weight of the consequences." Of course, I would.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
A pack of their own
Luna Rising
They were wrong.
Seren was stolen as a newborn and raised in a pack that treated her as disposable. Beaten and imprisoned, she survives by hiding her strength—until a mating ball brings fate crashing into her life.
With enemies willing to sell lives and a past tied to the throne, Seren must rise…or die.
A dark werewolf romance of power, fate, and vengeance.
Where The Ice Gives Way
Blake Atlas scents his mate the moment Charlotte arrives. The bond hits hard and unmistakable, but Charlotte doesn’t recognise it. She doesn’t know why her chest keeps pulling toward the one boy she absolutely cannot afford to want. Blake is Charlie’s new hockey captain. Charlie’s chance at making something good. Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens. Then Charlotte’s rare white wolf awakens, the very thing that makes her powerful, also makes her a target.
Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
