Rejected Fate Chapter 08

Rejected Fate Chapter 08

Over the following days, Daniel sent me countless 

private messages on PackNet with one new 

anonymous account after another. 

I ignored every single one without a single reply. 

He then switched different phone numbers and 

bombarded me with endless calls. 

After the hundredth harassing call, I finally lost my 

patience. 

“I will go out and make everything clear to him. 

once and for all.” 

“I will go with you.” 

Xavier stared at me firmly, his tone unwavering. 

I thought it over quietly. As an ordinary wolf, I 

could never match the overwhelming pheromone 

power of a grown Alpha. 

So I nodded softly. 

“Just stay by my side.” 

I walked to the gate of the Moonwood Guild. 

Daniel was standing there waiting for me, just as ! expected. 

He had grown noticeably thinner, with bloodshot 

eyes. The moment he caught sight of me, bright joy instantly flooded his dull gaze. 

“Isabella.” 

“I knew you would come out to meet me.” 

“Let’s find a quiet place to talk, please?” 

He reached out instinctively, trying to hold my 

hand. 

I stepped back and dodged his touch without 

hesitation. 

“We can talk right here.” 

A bitter smile tugged at Daniel’s lips. 

“Fine.” 

“Then listen to me.” 

“It was not until you left that I finally figured out 

my own heart.” 

“You are the one I have always loved.” 

My relationship with Nora was nothing but fleeting 

novelty.” 

“I should never have toyed with your sincere 

feelings.” 

Daniel hastily pulled out the wooden amulet 

pendant from his chest pocket, the very one I once 

carved for him. 

“And about this.” 

“I never gave it to Nora voluntarily.” 

“She stole it from me behind my back.” 

“I have taken it back.” 

He held out the old amulet carefully and placed it 

gently into my palm, his eyes filled with earnest 

anticipation. 

I stared down at the wooden pendant in my hand. 

Its carving lines were rough and uneven, far 

inferior to my current exquisite craftsmanship. 

Yet every single cut carried the full devotion I had 

poured into it when I was young and foolish. 

Without a second thought, I tossed the amulet 

casually into the thick grass by the roadside. 

“None of these words matter to me anymore. I no 

longer care.” 

“Daniel, once I loved you, I was willing to 

compromise and sacrifice everything for you.” 

“But my love is gone now. I will never make any 

compromises or sacrifices for you again.” 

“Could you please stop disturbing my life from 

now on?” 

Daniel hung his head, falling into dead, wordless 

silence. 

After a long while, he lifted his head again, his 

eyes glistening with stubborn determination. 

“Then I will be the one to devote myself this time.” 

“It does not matter if you do not love me right now. 

I will chase you instead.” 

“We still have our whole lives ahead of us.” 

My voice was soft yet firm, with no trace of 

wavering 

“Daniel.” 

“Please do not pester me endlessly.” 

“I am over you, truly.” 

“We are no longer fated mates.” 

Daniel completely ignored every word I said. 

He disappeared for several days without a trace. 

When he reappeared, he returned to his former elegant, charismatic Alpha appearance. 

He dressed sharp and formal every single day, 

determined to look his best whenever I laid eyes 

on him. 

Before long, endless gifts were delivered to the 

Moonwood Guild one after another. 

Blooming roses, delicate rings, luxury leather bags 

– I turned them all down flat. 

Later, he changed his gift choice to rare premium 

moonwood materials. 

Some of these rare wood types were so precious 

that even Master Sanders only owned a handful of 

pieces in his collection. 

Such invaluable gifts left me no choice but to 

meet him face to face again. 

When I found Daniel, he was still wearing the 

discarded wooden amulet around his neck closely against his skin. 

“These moonwood materials are far too precious. 

I cannot accept them.” 

Daniel paid no attention to my refusal at all, gazing at me with pure joy in his eyes. 

“I’m just glad you finally agreed to meet me, 

Isabella.” 

“Rest assured, I send these gifts of my own free 

will.” 

“As long as you like them, that is enough for me.” 

I tried to persuade him for a long time, but Daniel‘ 

was trapped in his own wishful thinking. No 

matter how hard I tried to make him understand, he refused to give up. 

In the end, Master Sanders kept all those precious. 

moonwood materials for me. 

He said plainly, “This is compensation for your 

eight wasted years of youth.” 

“There is no reason to turn down such sincere 

compensation.” 

Yet this decision only made Daniel more confident 

and persistent. 

Whenever Xavier and I went out, Daniel would 

follow our car silently from a distance. 

Whenever we carried heavy wood materials back to the guild, he would roll up his expensive suit sleeves and help with the labor work without 

hesitation, abandoning all the dignity of a powerful Alpha. 

This continued until Xavier returned from his 

off–site academic exchange. 

He spotted Daniel sitting silently in the shadow of the guild courtyard after finishing moving wood. logs, staring at me obsessively without blinking. 

Xavier’s face darkened instantly. He turned to me 

( 

with a stiff, displeased tone, obvious jealousy 

lacing his voice. 

“Izzy, why is that Alpha still lingering here?”
