Chapter 19
At this point, the rejected mate would usually have no choice but to accept the rejection. But Alora wasn’t just any supernatural being, she was an Alpha Werewolf. So, she chose to do what she had decided to do, the moment she first suspected who her fated
mate was.
“I, Alora Luna Heartsong, reject you, Matthew Frost Stonemaker, as my mate.” With Alora’s calmly said words, in her musical voice, another strike of lightning sounded in the sky above.
This time, there was a reaction to the bond’s final snap. Matt dropped to the ground, releasing a howl of pain as he did. Matt and his wolf Ares did not have the pain tolerance that Alora and her woll Xena have. Which meant Matt’s reaction to the fiery pain, was what everyone had expected Alora’s to be. Only, Alora had remained as calm and steady as a rock sitting in a trickling stream through it all. Kain and Galen had a whole new level of respect for Alora after witnessing this.
“She’s so strong.” Galen said to his wolf.
“She’s been abused.” Amun said decisively, the growl in his voice holding suppressed anger.
Amun’s statement shocked Galen so much so, he immedely mind linked Kain, telling him what his wolf had said.
“Horus said the same.” Kain replied.
“If they both say so…” Galen’s words trailed off.
“Then it is so.” Kain said grimly.
“I’m starting to think we have found an Alpha to pledge our strength to.” Galen said to his brother.
“I am thinking…it would be an honor to serve as an Enforcer to her. Kain said in response to Galen.

Sarah watched Matt drop to the ground and howl in pain and was furious. ‘Matt wasn’t supposed to be the one in pain, that
whore is!‘

“YOU WHORE! YOU STUPID FUCKING WHORE! HOW DARE YOU! Sarah shrieked at the top of her lungs. Sarah ran forward and slapped Alora so hard, her head was turned to the side.
Alora’s ear rang from the blow, but she didn’t immediately react. Alora was suppressing her want, to rip Sarah’s arm from her body. Xena wanted to burst free and rip off Sarah’s face with her fangs. The crowd looked on in horror, too stunned to do anything.
In their way of thinking, Alora had just got rejected by her fated mate for Sarah…because of Sarah. So, they felt Sarah had no right to be angry at Alora, for rejecting the male Sarah had obviously wanted.
Kain and Galen were also too shocked by Sarah’s sudden reaction to do anything at first. Darien snarled, his wolf Axel in his eyes. Serenity cracked the knuckles on one hand, itching to punch Sarah in the face again.
Matt remained on the ground, his body too wracked with pain to move. His confused pain filled gaze gradually cleared, his once flat eyes no longer flat. He looked almost like a kicked puppy, one that had woken up from a nightmare to a beating he was now suffering for trouble he had caused while sleep walking.
Another loud slap to Alora’s other cheek, had her head snapping in the other direction. “HOW DARE YOU REJECT HIM! YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST ACCEPTED THE REJECTION AND KEPT THE PAIN ALL TO YOURSELF!” Sarah shrieked.
Sarah’s words were not as sharp to Alora’s ears as they were to those standing around them. To the crowd, Sarah’s words sounded 50 very wrong. “Why should Alora have accepted the rejection?‘ some wondered. For others though, they thought Alora was within her rights to reject a mate that had rejected her.

Chapter 19
They all knew Matt and Sarah had been sleeping together for two years. They all also knew that Alora was Sarah’s younger sister, even though they looked very different. Many had their suspicions, especially since the two females couldn’t be any more different from each other in nearly every way.
However, those suspicions were all supposedly proven false. With a DNA test done proving Allister Frost Northmountain, as Alora’s father. The Frost and Northmountain Clans had become increasingly isolated within the Pack over the last three
generations. Still, it was well known Alister and Bettina Northmountain, were not fated mates.
Making the possibility of Alora not being Allister’s daughter, a very high possibility. After all, magic and technology could both be tampered with, or used to manipulate things. Darien still thought another DNA test should be done between Alora and Allister.

I have read the previous book. and not to be disparaging, but I think having the twins help her here when Sarah was attacking, was a vital connection to the trust building a…
