Alpha’s Thrice Rejectedd Mate By Ida Rowe

Chapter 154

As the moonlight bathed the clearing, casting a soft silver glow on the surrounding trees, I stood at the edge, my gaze fixed on the stars above. The crisp night air carried the faint scent of pine, mingling with the earthy fragrance of the forest. It was a serene backdrop that would have. brought solace on any other night. But tonight, my heart was heavy with bitterness and frustration, the weight of my mother’s disapproval settling deep within me like an unshakeable burden.

The cool breeze whispered through the leaves, rustling them gently as if trying to offer some semblance of comfort. But its touch only intensified the ache of disappointment that gnawed at my soul. I had hoped that my mother, as the Luna of our pack, would understand the love and connection Kora and I shared. But time and again, she had shown her resistance and determination to maintain the traditions and power structures she held dear.

“Why does she have to be so difficult?” I muttered, my voice barely a whisper, as if afraid the very trees would betray my words. “Can’t she see how much Kora means to me? Can’t she see that we’re stronger together?”

Kora approached me, her presence a soothing balm to my troubled soul. She sl*pped her hand into mine, intertwining our fingers. “Mason,” she whispered softly, her voice filled with love and understanding. “I know it’s hard, but we have each other. We can’t let your mother’s disapproval

break us.”

I sighed, leaning into her embrace. “I miss how things used to be,” I admitted, my voice tinged with sadness. “Do you remember how happy she was when we were children? It’s as if she’s lost sight of that happiness, consumed by her need for power and control”

Kora rested her head on my shoulder, her touch comforting. “I remember,” she said softly. “But people change, Mason. Sometimes, they lose their way. It doesn’t mean we have to follow their path. We can create our own happiness, and our own destiny.”

Her words resonated within me, reminding me of the strength and resilience we had found in each other. We had fought against the former

Shadowmoon Alpha, against oppression and tyranny, to secure our freedom and the freedom of our pack. We had emerged victorious, but the battle had left physical and emotional scars.

“I know we can’t let her tear us apart,” I said, determination seeping into

voice. “We’ve come too far to let anyone or anything stand in our way.”

Kora nodded, her eyes shining with unwavering resolve. “You’re right, Mason. We have to stay united, for ourselves and for our pack. We can’t back down now, especially not when Shadowmoon is counting on us. Eloise’s vision showed us a path of unity and strength, and we have to honor that.”

I felt warmth and gratitude for Kora’s unwavering support and belief in our cause. She was the anchor that kept me grounded, the beacon of hope in the storm around us.

“You’re my rock, Kora,” I whispered, my voice filled with admiration. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

She smiled, but there was a hint of frustration in her eyes. “And you’re mine, Mason. But sometimes, you can be so stubborn. Your mother’s disapproval shouldn’t define our journey. We have to stand strong and face the challenges together.”

I bristled at her comment, feeling defensive. “Stubborn? Me? Have you met my mother? She’s the queen of stubbornness. It’s like a family trait or something.”

Kora chuckled, her laughter laced with affectionate exasperation. “Fine, fine, you’re both stubborn. But that doesn’t mean we have to let it tear us apart. We need to rise above it, show her that our love and unity are stronger than her disapproval.”

Her words struck a chord, reminding me of the bigger picture. We couldn’t let our personal bickering overshadow our purpose. We had fought against the former Alpha for everyone’s freedom. Now it felt wrong to go after another dissenting pack so soon.

“It feels wrong,” I murmured, my voice uncertain. “After what we just fought for, saving our pack and securing our freedom, going after another pack feels… contradictory.”

Kora nodded, understanding the conflict within me. “I know, Mason. It’s a difficult decision, but we can’t back down now. Shadowmoon is counting on us to lead and bring about the change we fought for. If we hesitate, leaving our former pack for last could cause even more division and chaos.”

She was right, as she often was. Eloise’s vision had shown us a future where unity prevailed, and where packs stood together in harmony. We couldn’t abandon that vision now. We had to face the dissenting pack and show them the strength of our bond and the power of our cause.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenges ahead. “You’re right, Kora,” I said, my voice steady with determination. “We have to be united for Shadowmoon and the future we believe in. We can’t back down now or let our personal conflicts cloud our path.”

Kora smiled, a mixture of pride and relief shining in her eyes. “That’s my Alpha,” she said, her voice filled with love and admiration. “Together, we’ll face whatever comes our way. We’ll show them the strength of our love and the power of our unity.”

The crisp night air embraced us as we stood at the edge of the clearing, our breath mingling with the soft breeze. The scent of damp earth and pine needles permeated the surroundings, grounding us in the present moment. Above us, the stars shimmered like sca ttered diamonds in the velvet sky, casting their ethereal glow upon our determined faces.

As our hands tightened their grip, I felt Kora’s warmth seep into my skin, infusing me with courage and resolve. Her touch, gentle yet firm, was a reminder of the unwavering support we offered each other. Together, we were an unbreakable force, united in purpose and love.

With each passing moment, the weight of responsibility settled upon us, pressing upon our shoulders like a heavy cloak. The enormity of the task ahead threatened to overwhelm us, but we refused to succumb to doubt or fear. Our hearts beat in sync, synchronized in a rhythm of determination.

I closed my eyes, allowing my other senses to take over. The touch of Kora’s hand grew more comforting, the slight warmth emanating from her palm resonating with my own. The scent of her, a subtle mixture of wildflowers and a hint of musk, filled my nostrils, triggering memories of

shared moments and stolen k*sses.

A soft sigh escaped my l*ps, mingling with the rustling of the leaves. The breeze caressed my skin, its gentle touch like a whisper of

encouragement. It seemed as if even nature was attuned to our purpose, supporting our cause.

The journey ahead would not be easy. We would face opposition, doubts, and moments of weakness. But we would draw strength from the unity we had forged, from the knowledge that our love was unbreakable and that we could overcome any obstacle together.

We had to-for our pack, for the freedom we had fought so hard to keep, and for the future we believed in. We couldn’t afford to falter.
