After Eight Rejections, My Mate Changed Forever

Synopsis

I stood motionless in Michael's ornate office, my gaze fixed on the intricate pattern of the Persian rug beneath my feet. The familiar scent of sandalwood and pine that once brought me comfort now made my stomach churn. Eight times. Eight times we had done this dance, and each time, I had begged, pleaded, cried until my throat was raw. But not today. "I, Michael Crawford, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, reject you, Olivia Reed, as my mate and Luna." His voice carried that unmistakable Alpha tone, pressing down on me like a physical weight, attempting to force me to my knees as it had so many times before.
