Running From the Alpha I Rejected
Da1TruKeema · Ongoing · 106.6k Words
Introduction
In the Black Pine Pack, there is no bond stronger than the mate bond and no greater betrayal than rejecting your Alpha. But when Sable discovers the truth about the man destined to rule beside her, she chooses freedom over a crown she never wanted.
Five years later, she has built a life far from the pack and the Alpha who once set her soul on fire.
Until the past finds her again.
Kier Blane never stopped searching for the woman who ran from him. As Alpha of Black Pine, he has power, loyalty, and an entire pack at his command but none of it matters without the mate who shattered his heart.
When Sable is dragged back into pack territory to face trial for abandoning her people, the fragile peace between them explodes. Old wounds reopen. Dangerous secrets surface. And the bond they tried to destroy refuses to stay buried.
But someone in the pack has their own plans for the throne and for Kier.
With betrayal lurking in the shadows and the council threatening to tear them apart, Sable must decide what matters more: the freedom she fought for… or the Alpha she never truly stopped loving.
Because running from fate is one thing.
Surviving it is another.
Chapter 1
By the time I was old enough to string a bow, my mother had a habit of saying, “You were born quick.” She meant quick of hand and quick of mind—two things that could get you killed if you were careless, and keep you alive if you weren’t. My father, Beta Rowan of the Black Pine Pack, called it something else. “Steel,” he would say when I held my stance until my thighs quivered. “There’s steel in you, Sable. Temper it.”
Our house sat at the edge of the river where it folded back on itself and carved a crescent into the earth. I learned to swim against the current before I learned to braid my hair. I learned the calls of owls and the different silences of snow. I learned that a blade is only a promise, and a promise is only as good as the hand that holds it.
My brother, Jaxon, was born first and easier. He was already half grown when I came along—a grin like summer and shoulders built for carrying other people’s burdens. By the time I could run without tripping over rocks, he had begun his training to inherit our father’s role. “Beta work is service,” Dad told him, and because I shadowed Jaxon the way moss shadows stone, I heard it all. “You are the spine that keeps the body upright. You do not break.”
The pack expected me to be some version of my mother, Mira—our fiercest warrior—and she did not disappoint them. She taught me in a language of bruises, of patience, of breath. “You don’t win in the first strike,” she’d say, guiding my wrist until the knife angled right. “You win in your fifth breath when he expects you to be tired and you’re not.”
I devoured the training like it was food. I sprinted; I climbed; I learned to fight dirty and fair, and to know which would keep me breathing. The older I got, the more the warriors relaxed around me—good-natured mockery turning to wary respect when my blade touched their chests first. I grew into my body the way young wolves do, all tendon and grit, a late-blooming beauty that had more to do with how I stood my ground than with my cheekbones.
The Luna, Alina, loved me as if I were hers. “If I’d had a daughter,” she’d say when she fiddled with the clasp of my training leathers, “I’d want her to look me dead in the eye like you.” She smelled like rosemary and rain and kept a tin of salted caramels in her desk for when I pretended to stop by the pack house “on errands.” She had no daughters. Only a son—Kier—the future Alpha.
Kier and I learned to spar together out of necessity. He was a year older and a head taller, always destined to be the one the moon would bend toward. He was good in a way that comes from being expected to be good: born into it, fed on it. He had the raw power of a burst dam, and I had the habit of not moving until I wanted to. It annoyed him. I could feel it in the tightness of his jaw whenever I slipped a strike and flicked his wrist to open his guard, in the way his gaze darted to Alina’s balcony as if to say: See? Are you watching?
He was not unkind. But he was a boy who had never been told no by anyone.
At fifteen, I shifted for the first time under a harvest moon, bones reknitting to the black coat my mother carried and the slash of silver my father wore at his throat. The pack lifted their voices. Jaxon howled loudest. Dad’s hand rested on my wolf’s head and trembled. There was joy, and there was the thick thread of something else that made my stomach curdle: inevitability.
Because in our world, eighteen is the hinge year. The age when the scent of your fated one blooms like night jasmine—undeniable, sweet, a noose disguised as a garland. The mate bond is the holy story every cub hears before they sleep: the moon does not make mistakes. It chooses who steadies you. It wastes nothing.
But I watched the women who were chosen.
I watched Tamsin, who laughed like sunlight and limped after her mate decided she needed a lesson in obedience. I watched Raina, who loved her paints and cold evenings by the river, sell her canvases for baby blankets because her mate wanted sons and sons and sons. I watched my mother and father, whose bond seemed equal—but even there, decisions curved toward the Alpha line the way all rivers do. Our hierarchy called it balance. My spine called it something else.
At sixteen, when other girls hid blushes behind their hands and invented reasons to cross paths with boys at dusk, I counted the months on my fingers like I was loading bullets. Eighteen was coming, and with it the sweet trap. Feminist wasn’t a word we used in the lodge, but it fit in my mouth when I found it in a smuggled paperback from the human town. Feminist. Not the property of a bond. Not a tether. Not a prize.
I decided to run before the moon could choose me. It came to me as I stood in the training ring while frost crackled underfoot and Kier’s breath misted the air like smoke. He lunged. I dropped my center of gravity and sent him over my shoulder, flat on his back. The sound he made—surprise first, then anger—landed hot and certain in my chest: I would go. I would go before this world decided what my life was worth to them.
But deciding and doing are different beasts.
There were places to hide in the human world if you knew how to be small. The bus station in Alder Creek with its burnt coffee and flickering vending machine. The motel two towns over that took cash and asked nothing. A night forest is safer for a wolf than a highway, but the human road is the one place an Alpha can’t follow without risk. The human laws bind them almost as powerfully as ours.
I started to stay out longer on patrol. I learned the scents of metal and gasoline, the dull hum of power lines, the names behind the names: who would look away, who would help, who would ask questions. I watched the moon’s phases like a woman watching her last calendar. When it darkened to a sliver, I tested my pack on what they would do without me. Jaxon took my chores with a grumble that turned into a smile. Alina pretended not to notice when I didn’t come by for caramels. My mother set extra knives on the table and said nothing at all.
And still I trained. I trained because I loved it, and because excellence is its own language of freedom. Which is how the day came when I beat the boy who would be Alpha.

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder.

His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.

Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.
From Substitute To Queen
Heartbroken, Sable discovered Darrell having sex with his ex in their bed, while secretly transferring hundreds of thousands to support that woman.
Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?

The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”
She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”
The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”

I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
