Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder
READING AGE 18+
“I, Julius Armstrong, reject Doris Charles as my mate.”The laughter came right after.This was the second time my mate rejected me because I cannot talk. In the pack, they call me dumb not because I am stupid, but because I am mute.When I turned eighteen, my first mate rejected me for that reason.Today, it was the Gamma.He is twenty-one, the same age as the Alpha and Beta. This was his third rejection. The first girl was too fat, the second was too short and now, I was dumb.I never wanted to attend the mating ceremony. I knew how it would end, but my stepmother forced me to go, and my stepsisters came just to watch me get mocked again.The next day, wolves who had found their mates returned to officially claim them before the Alpha and pack leaders. I went only because I was forced, just to stand there and watch my stepsister get chosen.Then something happened that no one expected.The Alpha claimed me as his mate in front of everyone.Was I shocked? Yes.Did I believe him? No.Did I think it was a cruel joke? Absolutely.Because no Alpha would choose a rejected, mute girl like me.
