He pins me against the wall, his eyes burning with intensity, and says, "I'm the pack leader, and I don't want a weak partner. Omegas haven't helped the pack before, so I don't expect much from you." His words are harsh, and I feel afraid and unsure. I'm stuck, unable to move or speak, as he keeps glaring at me with anger and disappointment."M-my situation could be different..." I stutter, tears welling up in my eyes. But he cuts me off with a firm "Don't say a word." His Alpha tone brooks no argument. Then, with a sneer, he declares, "I, Jace Austin Thompson, reject you, Harper Riley Jackson, as my mate and Luna of the pack." His words feel like a slap, and I sob as he holds me firmly in place."Come on, accept the rejection," he growls, his voice devoid of empathy.My voice shakes with sobs as I force out the words, "I, Harper Riley Jackson, accept your rejection."****Harper was the one Jace had a one-night stand with. When he realized she was his mate, he rejected her and banished her from the pack. Little did he know, she was pregnant with his child. Years later, he met her at a booming company where she was the boss, but that didn't shock him as much as meeting a kid who looked exactly like him did. Would he be able to assert his parental claim over the child, or would Harper, judging from his past rejection and banishment of her, pursue him and refuse to relinquish the child?
