Rejected By My Fated Alpha: Rise Of The White Wolf

Rejected By My Fated Alpha: Rise Of The White Wolf

Werewolf
5.0
After seven days of high-intensity border patrol, it was already midnight when I finally dragged my exhausted body back to the pack castle. I reached out to push the heavy oak doors. But the magical scent-ward sparked and burned my frostbitten fingertips. Access denied. I thought I was just too tired and my spiritual energy was unstable, so I tried a few more times. Still rejected. I tried to use the Mind-Link to contact Zane, but he blocked me. I stood in the freezing blizzard, shivering uncontrollably. My wounds from fighting three rogue wolves were still bleeding, staining the white snow beneath my boots. Until ten minutes later, Vivian, his irreplaceable first love, walked up the stone steps. She was holding a bottle of elf-berry wine, wearing a luxurious fur coat. The scent-ward glowed softly, recognizing the absolute Alpha privilege Zane had given her. It allowed her to pass effortlessly. I followed right behind her. The moment I stepped inside, a magical confetti spell exploded right in my face. Glittering dust covered my mud-caked, blood-stained armor. The pack members in the hall burst into roaring laughter. The tables were littered with ale bottles, and cake was smeared on the stone floor. And the white wolf-skin rug I had hand-woven for our nesting den... It was trampled into a messy, dirty rag, soaked in cheap wine. Zane sat on his carved throne, holding his phone, laughing so hard he could barely sit straight. "Who told you to only care about border patrols these past few days and ignore your Alpha?" "Now you know what the cold treatment feels like." I stood at the door, saying nothing. Today, I fought off three rogue wolves. My wounds were still throbbing with agony. I hadn't eaten a single bite, and my boots were soaked in freezing mud. Tomorrow at dawn, I had to report the defense strategy to the Pack Elders. But right now, I had to clean up this massive, humiliating mess. Seeing that I didn't chase after him and playfully argue like I used to, Zane's face darkened. "Who are you giving that dead attitude to?" "It's just a little joke. Why are you getting so boring?" He let out a cold, arrogant sneer, fully believing he had me completely under his control. "If you can't stand it, we can just break the mate bond." I thought about the new scent-ward access. The one that even Vivian knew, but was deliberately kept a secret from me. Suddenly, I didn't even want to take another step into this suffocating room. "Fine, let's break it."

I came down from my secluded mountain sanctuary to settle an old engagement contract with the wealthy Travis family. But the moment I walked in, the Travis patriarch threw a $500,000 check at my feet, telling me to crawl back to my backwater town and stop leeching off his son, Cam. To them, I was just an unwanted country girl in a cheap cotton dress. Cam even drove his Ferrari onto the sidewalk, trying to run me over while screaming that I was a parasite trying to extort them. When that failed, he grabbed a jagged piece of metal and tried to stab my sister's throat to force me to submit. "Nobody humiliates the Travis family and walks away!" He laughed, boasting that his family's money owned the law in Chicago and that he could bury me alive. They thought I was a helpless nobody they could abuse and discard at will. They didn't know I was the sole heir to the Dragon Sovereignty, trained in lethal martial arts. And they certainly didn't know that my sworn sisters were a Wall Street billionaire venture capital queen and the city's top surgeon. I didn't take their insulting check. Instead, I wrote "VOID" across the contract myself. Then, I snapped Cam's arm, handed the dashcam footage to the police, and sent the arrogant heir straight to a holding cell. Just as the Travis family desperately tried to save him, my encrypted satellite phone buzzed. The mother who raised us at the orphanage had vanished, and the clues pointed straight to the city's dark underbelly. This time, I was going to tear down anyone who stood in my way.

Danika Brewer was the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, but she was treated worse than a stray dog while their newly found biological daughter was pampered like a princess. After a drunken mistake on her forgotten birthday, Danika discovered she was pregnant. To protect the family's pristine reputation, her adoptive parents ordered her to abort the child immediately. The doctor explicitly warned them that due to her severe blood condition, the surgery carried a massive risk of fatal hemorrhaging and permanent infertility. But her parents didn't care if she died on the table. "Sign the paper right now, or I'll throw you onto the street to starve!" Forced onto the freezing operating table, Danika fought like a cornered animal, escaping the hospital with the help of her younger brother. In retaliation, her parents froze her trust fund and exiled her to a decaying manor in the Swiss Alps to rot. Right before she was kicked out, the biological daughter faked a fall, smiling secretly as their father slapped Danika across the face one last time. Looking at the family that had raised her for twenty-two years, every illusion of love died in Danika's heart. Why was her life and her unborn baby's life worth less than their fake social standing? Boarding the one-way flight to Europe, Danika touched her flat stomach and made a cold vow. She would survive, protect her child, and return to New York to make them pay tenfold. Meanwhile, the ruthless billionaire who fathered her baby had no idea a storm was coming.

Chloe Sullivan finally thought she had escaped her high school nightmare. She was a successful Manhattan corporate lawyer, celebrating a massive case win.

He hadn't just found her; he had secretly bought her apartment building just to ambush her in her own hallway. The nightmare escalated instantly. The police refused to help, terrified of the Sinclair name. He cornered her at work, forcing her law firm to make her his personal counsel by threatening to destroy her colleagues' careers. He tracked her phone, monitored every bite of food she ate, and even bought entire restaurants just to control her diet. When the stress made her physically collapse, his bodyguards threw her into an armored car equipped with military signal jammers. "Your life is mine. I don't give you permission to die." Ten years of running, studying, and building an independent life, all shattered in a matter of days. How could the American justice system she dedicated her life to be so utterly useless against one man's capital? Why was he so sickeningly obsessed with her that he would manipulate all of New York just to cage her? As she woke up in a private hospital bed, heavily sedated and physically trapped in Axel's arms, Chloe realized a terrifying truth. He was changing his tactics, wrapping his violent madness in a suffocatingly gentle package. The physical hunt was over, but her desperate war for survival had just begun.

Harlene was locked out of her own family's estate in a freezing blizzard, still trembling from a severe panic attack. Her mother delivered a cold ultimatum through a security screen: attend her golden-child sister Estella's award gala, or lose her medical funds. To make it worse, her ex-fiancé, Dennis, had chimed in to call her embarrassing and pathetic. At the gala, Harlene was treated like a diseased outcast. Dennis fiercely protected his new lover, Jailyn—the very woman who had stolen Harlene's designs. But the ultimate betrayal came when Estella flaunted a silver-embroidered antique dress. It was Harlene's grandmother's dress, her only pure memory of love, handed over to the enemy as a trophy. When Harlene demanded answers, her own father slapped her across the face in front of the press, just to protect their pristine image. They had stolen her career, her fiancé, and her inheritance, all while branding her the crazy, unstable daughter. The sheer hypocrisy and cruelty finally severed the last thread of her sanity. Why should she play the silent victim while they played the perfect family? Instead of crying, Harlene smiled. She drew a hidden dagger, slashed the antique dress to ribbons, and dragged Estella and Jailyn to the center stage. Standing under the blinding spotlight with a bloody blade, she looked out at the terrified crowd. "The Beaumont family is done hiding," she declared into the microphone. "Tonight, the curtain falls."

It wasn't a gun, but the pen in my hand was going to end my life just the same. Liam, the man I was supposed to marry in a month, pointed to the tablet on his desk. It showed a live feed of my mother’s hospital room. "Sign the confession, Ava," he said, his voice devoid of any warmth. "Take the fall for the embezzlement. Or the funding for her ventilator stops in ten seconds." My heart hammered against my ribs. The crimes weren't mine. They belonged to Chloe, his mistress. But Liam Valenti, the Underboss of New York, was sacrificing me to save her. "She's fragile," he said casually, adjusting his silk cuffs. "She can't handle prison. You're strong. You'll survive." With tears blurring my vision, I signed the document. I signed away my career as a lawyer and my freedom to save my mother. Liam snatched the paper like a prize. He didn't offer comfort. He just smirked. "Good girl. The wedding is still on, of course. You'll look beautiful in the ankle monitor." He walked out to celebrate with his mistress, thinking he had won. Thinking he owned me. But he forgot one crucial detail. I wasn't just his fiancée. I was the one who laundered his money. I knew where every body was buried—literally and financially. The moment the door clicked shut, I stopped crying. I pulled out a burner phone and opened an encrypted app. I wasn't going to jail. I was going to war. I typed three words to the one man Liam feared most. "Execute Protocol Zero."

My future was a single, glowing line on a computer screen, a nearly perfect SAT score promising MIT and a clear path to my AI dreams. The world felt bright, simple, and entirely within my grasp. Then the doorbell rang. It was Jake, my childhood best friend, looking disheveled and heartbroken, muttering that he had "bombed" his scores and was "not getting in anywhere that matters." He begged me, citing our childhood promises, to abandon my Ivy League ambitions and go to the state university with him. But as he laid on the act, my laptop pinged. A tagged photo on Emily Chen's Instagram showed Jake triumphantly celebrating his 1450 SAT score, directly contradicting his tearful performance. He was accepted to CIT, a top tech school, and had obviously lied to manipulate me. The performance was flawless, the lies seamless. My voice was quiet, dead. "You got a 1450." His face froze, the grief replaced by panic, then anger. He tried to grab my laptop, shouting that I was ruining everything. Just then, an email from our school confirmed his score. My friendship with Jake, twelve years in the making, was dead. Suddenly, a new email popped up. This one from Emily. Attached were encrypted files: chat logs, emails, audio recordings. Their plan wasn't just to steal my AI. They were planning a hostile takeover of Alex Turner's company, Eos Dynamics, using my work as the weapon, framining him for corporate espionage. The sheer audacity of their continued deceit, even after all I knew, left me seething. They wanted to play games? I'd play.
