Rejected And Chased By The Alpha
Scarlet arrives at college, hopeful for a fresh start and a potential mate connection under the full moon. But when her fated mate, the popular Noah, publicly rejects her for another, her world shatters. Can she navigate a new life in a world that denies her deepest bond, or will she be forever chased by the shadow of a love scorned?The air crackled with the nervous energy of new beginnings and the ancient anticipation of the full moon. “Scarlet, bring your luggage into the car quickly! We have no time left,” Mom’s voice, a familiar blend of urgency and excitement, cut through the quiet of my room. I gazed at my reflection, a final check, a silent prayer that I’d fit in at Virginia College.
“Yes, mom, I’m coming!” I called back, pulling my well-worn luggage. A kiss pressed to the door of my childhood room, a silent goodbye to comfort, before I ran out to meet her. The drive was a blur of nervous chatter and my mom’s usual daredevil speed, punctuated by her playful reminders about finding my mate. “And by the way, don’t forget to introduce your boyfriend to me. I know for sure that we will be having one anytime soon because the full moon is tonight!”
I rolled my eyes, murmuring a quiet “Gross.” The thought of a mate, especially tonight, felt distant, almost impossible. Then, the college gates loomed, an imposing, beautiful structure that stole my breath. It was everyone’s dream school, and suddenly, my excitement warred with a fresh wave of insecurity. I felt different, an outsider among the confident students already milling about. As I stepped out of the car, my gaze met a pair of striking green eyes—a guy whose intense stare made me immediately nervous.
