Rejected Fate Chapter 06
After I rejected his mate bond, Daniel never cameÂ
to disturb me again.Â
Yet posts featuring him and Nora flooded PackNetÂ
nonstop.Â
They flaunted their affection openly without anyÂ
restraint.Â
Word got around that they’d thrown anÂ
extravagant official mating ceremony.Â
The venue spanned as large as a full footballÂ
pitch.Â
Gleaming moonstones lined every corner, soÂ
opulent that even the moonlight seemed dim nextÂ
to it.Â
Alphas and Lunas from every pack across theÂ
werewolf continent received formal invitations.Â
Even ordinary wolves from Silverpine Pack wereÂ
invited as honored guests.Â
After returning home, they praised the ceremony endlessly online.Â
“Alpha Daniel loves his Luna deeply. His gaze forÂ
her is soft as gentle moonlight.”Â
“The ceremony is beyond luxurious. He has given.Â
his Luna every precious treasure in this world.”Â
My friend feed on PackNet was filled withÂ
discussions about the ceremony as well.Â
Some guests uploaded snapshots taken at theÂ
grand scene.Â
Others teased and joked in the comment section.Â
Several users even deliberately tagged me.Â
“What has Isabella been up to lately?”Â
The rest echoed the question one after another.Â
I took a photo of my newly finished moonwoodÂ
rose carving and posted it online.Â
Comments flooded in right away.Â
“This carving is breathtakingly beautiful.”Â
It looks exactly like a fresh real rose.”Â
“Izzy, your carving skill has improved astonishinglyÂ
fast.”Â
“I want this moonwood rose so badly!”Â
A soft smile tugged at my lips as I read theseÂ
warm comments.Â
The next second, Nora dropped a new postÂ
instantly.Â
Her photo showed ninety–nine fresh red roses dotted with crystal dewdrops, bright and vivid.Â
A small card attached to the bouquet read: DanielÂ
only loves Nora.Â
She added a caption below the picture: ArtificialÂ
wooden flowers can never compare to theÂ
romance of fresh real roses.Â
The whole comment section shifted toneÂ
completely in an instant.Â
“Alpha Daniel is such a devoted mate.”Â
“Luna Nora is so blessed, I’m utterly envious.”Â
Nora left another deliberate comment pretending to be considerate.Â
“I’m so sorry! I forgot Isabella once had feelings for Daniel. Did I post this inappropriately?”Â
“Please don’t be mad at me, Isabella.”Â
The entire comment zone fell dead silent.Â
Two minutes later, a stranger left a plainÂ
comment.Â
“Isabella, do you want roses too? I can buy youÂ
any number you like.”Â
The comment section turned completely quietÂ
once more.Â
I knew clearly that this anonymous commentÂ
came from Daniel.Â
Feeling speechless at his petty act, I blocked theÂ
account directly and deleted my carving postÂ
without hesitation.Â
My phone rang shortly after.Â
I answered the call calmly.Â
“Hello.”Â
Silence lingered on the other end for a briefÂ
second.Â
“Isabella.”Â
“I miss you.”Â
“I need to see you.”Â
I hung up the call straight away.Â
POV: DanielÂ
Irritation surged through me the moment the callÂ
cut dead.Â
I had spared no expense holding such a magnificent mating ceremony, all for one purposeÂ
to make Isabella far away in the Northern Wastes jealous, to warn her.Â
If she kept staying away, another she–wolf wouldÂ
take her place beside me forever.Â
Yet she showed no trace of jealousy at all.Â
This was nothing like her, not one bit.Â
Before I realized it, I had walked all the way to herÂ
old moonwood carving studio.Â
The spare key was still hidden in the old secretÂ
spot.Â
I unlocked the door skillfully out of long habit.Â
The studio was utterly empty now.Â
All carvings displayed on the showcase wereÂ
gone.Â
All wooden ornaments hanging on the wall hadÂ
vanished.Â
Every tiny trinket we bought together was clearedÂ
away completely.Â
I breathed out in relief, convincing myselfÂ
stubbornly.Â
“She’s just putting on a brave face.”Â
“She took all her belongings away, yet still claimsÂ
she does not love me anymore.”Â
I stepped slowly deeper into the room, and myÂ
gaze froze abruptly at a familiar cloth pouch lyingÂ
inside the trash can.Â
I bent down and picked it up.Â
Inside lay the custom carving knives I once giftedÂ
her, with our initials engraved clearly on everyÂ
handle.Â
Beneath the pouch in the trash bin piled piles ofÂ
discarded small wooden carvings.Â
My hands trembled uncontrollably as I pickedÂ
them up one by one.Â
A tiny wooden puppy – her very first carving whenÂ
she just started learning moonwood craft.Â
I had teased her back then, saying the puppyÂ
looked more like a clumsy little pig. She hadÂ
jumped up angrily and hit my arm playfully.Â
A delicate wooden bow – she once said sheÂ
would turn it into a hair clip and clip it on my headÂ
for fun.Â
More small wooden works followed, each carryingÂ
sweet old memories exclusive to us.Â
Bittersweet memories flooded my mind instantly.Â
How could she bear to throw all of these away…Â
All of a sudden, her firm, cold voice echoedÂ
sharply inside my head.Â
Daniel Grant, I, Isabella Jordan, reject you as myÂ
mate.Â
Sharp, piercing pain stabbed my chest the secondÂ
the sentence replayed.Â
My face drained of all color in an instant.Â
My inner wolf roared in agony deep inside myÂ
chest, letting out desperate, pained growlsÂ
nonstop.Â
He screamed that I was a foolish alpha wolf, whoÂ
had carelessly lost my irreplaceable fated mateÂ
forever.Â
I tried every means possible to sense our innateÂ
mate bond, yet I could not feel even the faintestÂ
thread of connection between Isabella and me.Â
The crushing pain ripped my soul apart, piece byÂ
piece.
