Alpha's Regret: The Hybrid's Royal Contract

Elara

"Fuck, Elara."

"Zack... oh, deeper... harder!" My shrill voice begged between breathy moans.

Scorching fluid surged inside me. I loved the feeling of my partner inside me, even after our climaxes had subsided.

But then he pushed me away.

"I, Zack Blackwood of the Blackwood Pack, reject you, Elara Park, as my fated mate."

WHAT THE HELL? My mate said this right after making love to me.

His little guy had just finished interacting with me!

Getting rejected by your fated mate was the worst pain imaginable.

It was not just heartbreak. It felt like someone was tearing your chest open and crushing your heart with their bare hands.

My wolf screamed inside me. The sound was so painful I almost lost my mind. She fought and clawed like a trapped animal, desperate to break free.

Every part of my body burned. My blood felt like liquid fire in my veins. My heart shattered into a million pieces.

This was fate's cruelest joke. You found your other half, then watched them destroy everything between you.

My wolf curled up in the corner of my mind, shaking like a hurt puppy.

She had been so proud when we found our mate. Now she could only whimper in confusion and pain.

"Her human blood makes her weak."

The whispers followed me everywhere. My father's human heritage became a weapon other pack members used against me.

At first, Mom tried to protect me. She was struggling too, trying to prove herself as Enzo's new wife.

But two years later, she had my half-brother Anthony.

Everything changed then. She became obsessed with being the perfect Luna.

I became an embarrassing reminder of her past.

The protection stopped. I was on my own in a world that would never accept me.

I learned the truth early in life.

I could attend pack meetings and wear nice clothes to events. But I would never be real family.

Because I was a hybrid with weak bloodline.

But Zack Blackwood was different.

He was the future Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. A born leader who got respect everywhere he went. At every gathering, the most powerful families pushed their daughters at him.

BUT, his fated mate was me.

The first time we scented each other at a territorial meeting, we both knew instantly. My wolf submitted to his power immediately. His
