Aurelia Vale thought it was just an interview. Until the most powerful Alpha in the city looked at her like she belonged to him... -and then rejected her like she meant nothing. Lucien Blackthorne doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't follow fate. And he definitely doesn't accept a weak, ordinary girl as his mate. So he humiliates her. Publicly. Cruelly. Aurelia leaves with nothing but a broken heart... and a secret that will shake his empire. She's pregnant. With the Alpha's heir. But this isn't just any child. It's a child tied to an ancient prophecy-one powerful enough to destroy packs... or rule them all. Now enemies are hunting her. The bond she tried to forget is pulling her back. And the man who rejected her is starting to realize the truth- He didn't just reject his mate. He rejected the only woman who could save him. But Aurelia is no longer the girl he cast aside. And this time... she might be the one to reject him.

Rejected by the Alpha, Pregnant with His Heir Chapter 1 The Alpha Who Shouldn't Want Me

I learned two things the night Lucien Blackthorne rejected me.

First-wolves can smell fear.

Second-their Alphas can smell destiny and still choose to deny it.

I didn't know either of those things when I walked into Blackthorne Industries for the first time, clutching a leather folder to my chest and reminding myself to breathe. The building towered over the city like a monument to power-cold steel, dark glass, and sharp lines that cut into the sky. It wasn't just a corporate headquarters. It was a warning.

I should have listened.

The elevator ride to the top floor was silent except for the soft hum of ascent and the sound of my heartbeat pounding too loudly in my ears. I stared at my reflection in the polished metal doors-dark hair pulled back neatly, plain dress, no jewelry except the small silver pendant my mother had given me before she died. I looked... ordinary.

Too ordinary to belong here.

"You've earned this, Aurelia," I whispered under my breath. "Don't let them scare you."

The doors slid open.

The moment I stepped onto the executive floor, something shifted in the air.

It wasn't a smell-at least, not one I recognized at first. It was heavier than perfume, sharper than cologne. Power. Heat. Something ancient and alive that brushed against my skin and made my pulse stumble.

I froze.

My chest tightened as if the air itself had changed density, pressing down on me, testing me. I swallowed hard and forced my feet to move forward. The assistant at the reception desk barely glanced up before pointing me toward the corner office.

"Mr. Blackthorne is expecting you," she said flatly.

Of course he was.

Lucien Blackthorne. CEO. Billionaire. Recluse. The man whose name whispered through the city like a threat and through the supernatural world like a curse. I'd researched him the way anyone would before a high-level interview-business profiles, scandal rumors, faceless articles praising his ruthless efficiency.

None of them mentioned the wolves.

None of them warned me what it would feel like to stand this close to an Alpha.

I knocked once.

"Enter."

The voice came from inside-low, controlled, edged with something dangerous. It sent a shiver straight down my spine.

I pushed the door open.

The office was massive, all dark wood and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. And there-standing with his back to me, hands clasped behind him-was Lucien Blackthorne.

Tall. Broad-shouldered. Perfectly still.

He turned slowly.

Our eyes met.

The world tilted.

I don't have another way to describe it. One second, I was standing in an office; the next, my lungs forgot how to work. His gaze locked onto mine like a predator finding its target, and something inside me reacted violently-heat blooming in my veins, heart slamming, instincts I didn't understand screaming at me to run and stay at the same time.

Gold flickered in his dark eyes.

Just for a second.

Then it was gone.

Lucien's expression hardened into cold disdain, but I saw it-the momentary crack in his control. His jaw tightened. His nostrils flared as he inhaled deeply, once.

The silence stretched.

"What is your name?" he asked.

"Aurelia Vale," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "Thank you for meeting with me, Mr. Blackthorne."

He didn't respond immediately. His gaze dropped-not to my face, but lower. To my throat. To my wrists. To places that made no sense. His lips pressed into a thin line, as if he were fighting something unseen.

"You're late," he said finally.

"I'm not," I replied before I could stop myself. "I arrived ten minutes early. Your assistant asked me to wait."

His eyes snapped back to mine.

The temperature in the room dropped.

Most men would have been offended by my tone. Lucien Blackthorne looked... intrigued. And angry. A dangerous combination.

"Sit," he ordered, gesturing to the chair across from his desk.

I sat.

He remained standing.

That should have bothered me more than it did. Instead, I felt oddly small beneath his presence, like my body recognized his authority even if my mind refused to accept it.

He circled the desk slowly, deliberately, like he was assessing prey.

"You were recommended by someone I trust," he said. "Which means either you're exceptional... or someone made a very expensive mistake."

"I don't make mistakes," I said quietly.

Another pause.

His mouth curved-not into a smile, but something sharper. "Confidence from someone so insignificant."

My cheeks burned, but I held his gaze. "With respect, sir, you wouldn't have called me up here if you thought I was insignificant."

The air crackled.

Lucien stopped moving.

For a long moment, we simply stared at each other. I was painfully aware of every breath, every inch of space between us. My skin tingled, like it was humming.

Then he laughed.

It was soft. Dark. Unamused.

"You smell... wrong," he said.

The words hit me like a slap.

"I beg your pardon?"

He leaned forward, bracing his hands on the desk, bringing his face closer to mine. Too close. His scent wrapped around me-smoke, night air, something wild and intoxicating. My pulse went feral.

"You don't belong here," he continued quietly. "And yet..."

His gaze dipped again, lingered, then snapped back up. His eyes darkened.

"And yet my instincts are telling me to tear this building apart to keep you inside it."

My breath caught.

"I don't understand what you're implying," I said.

"Good," he replied coldly. "Because neither do I."

He straightened abruptly and stepped back, as if proximity alone was a mistake. His expression turned icy.

"This interview is over."

My stomach dropped. "But-"

"You are dismissed," he said sharply. "And if you value your safety, Aurelia Vale, you will never come near me again."

The words should have been final.

They should have ended everything.

Instead, something snapped between us.

Pain exploded in my chest-sharp, sudden, unbearable. I gasped, clutching at my heart as heat surged through my veins like fire. Lucien stiffened, his eyes blazing gold now, no longer hidden.

"Damn it," he muttered.

I felt it then.

A pull.

A bond.

Invisible and terrifying and alive.

Lucien took a step toward me-then stopped himself.

"No," he growled, voice thick with fury. "I refuse."

The pain worsened.

"You're nothing to me," he said, every word like a blade. "I reject whatever this is. I reject you."

The room spun.

I barely heard the rest.

Because as I collapsed to the floor, clutching my chest and gasping for air, the last thing I saw was Lucien Blackthorne staring down at me-not with indifference...

...but with fear.

And something dangerously close to regret.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.
