Alpha Rejected Mate

Chapter 3: The Alpha's Regret

The whole pack was silent.

Amara walked away, her silver eyes still glowing, her body surrounded by light. No one dared to stop her. No one could.

Ethan stood frozen. His heart was beating so fast it hurt. The mate bond he just rejected was now burning. Burning with power.

"What... what have I done?" he whispered.

His Beta, Jake, ran to him. "Alpha... her eyes... that was the White Wolf. The legend says the White Wolf is the Moon Goddess reborn. And you just... you rejected her."

"I know!" Ethan roared, his wolf howling inside him in pain. "I know!"

For the first time in his life, the powerful, cruel Alpha Ethan felt fear. Not fear of an enemy. Fear of losing something he never even valued.

Across the pack square, Amara kept walking, but inside, she was confused. The power was fading, leaving her tired.

She fell to her knees behind the old training house.

"I can't... control it," she whispered.

Suddenly, a warm hand touched her shoulder.

"You did amazing."

She looked up. It was Lucas. The pack's mysterious loner. The boy who never talks to anyone. His eyes were kind.

"You... you are not afraid of me?" Amara asked.

Lucas smiled. "I have been waiting for you too. The real you."

Before Amara could answer, a loud, angry voice shouted from behind.

"AMARA!"

It was Ethan. He had followed her.

His eyes were no longer cruel. They were desperate, possessive.

"You are MINE. You cannot walk away from me. I reject you, but you are still mine!"

Lucas stepped in front of Amara protectively.

"She is not yours anymore, Alpha. You threw her away. Remember?"

Ethan's eyes turned black with rage. His claws came out.

And Amara... she stood up between the two strongest wolves in the pack, her silver light flickering again.

"Enough!" she shouted.

Both men looked at her, shocked.

The rejected omega was now commanding two Alphas.
