Rejected Little Secret by Lisj
Chapter 6

Chapter 6 

When I finally reached the town square, it was already bursting at the seams with a crowd of people. 

Sammy, with her perpetual scowl, walks right beside me, her grumpy demeanor palpable in the air. 

No matter how hard she tried to be subtle, her eyes couldn’t resist stealing a quick glance at her True Mate, who, unsurprisingly, was surrounded by his loving family. Their status as mates was an open secret in our pack, though it was disapproved of for him to abandon the family he had created to be with her. Although he never planned on it, the man had a deep affection for his family, and Sammy was resolute in not being reduced to the role of a mere mistress. 

Differences in our values regarding being someone’s secret caused frequent arguments between Sammy and me. However, being roommates would make it difficult for us to constantly be at odds with one another. We always maintained our own perspectives, which is why we agreed to disagree. 

Sammy grabbed for my arm, breaking my train of thought. There was a smile of pure mischief on her face as she grabbed me by the jaw and made me face some direction. With my cheeks squeezed, I stare at what she’s pointing And lo and behold, there was Axton, talking with some of his packmates

As I lay my eyes on him, the wolf inside of me awakens, ready to pounce. In the morning light, his beauty shines event 

brighter. Looking at his tousled hair, I couldn’t help bu all the sensation of running my fingers through it during 

the time we had sex. It’s the thought that fills me with both anticipation and aching desire, and it seemed to catch Axton’s attention, causing him to turn and meet my eyes. 

I stood frozen, my eyes locked on Axton as he waved goodbye to his packmates and made his way towards us. Even Sammy seems on edge, clearly caught off guard by Axton’s unexpected approach, a wide smile on his face as if we were all old friends. Even those around us were watching closely, their eyes fixed on Axton, the formidable Alpha of Blackacre, as he approached the misfits of the Thornholde Pack. 

“Hey Chestnut,” With an air of nonchalance, Axton playfully tousles my hair, completely carefree. Sammy’s mouth hangs open in astonishment as she looks at us, her face a mix of confusion and bewilderment from the unexpected. spectacle. Axton, indifferent, casually turns to look at Sammy, flashing a friendly smile as he firmly shakes her hand. “Hello, allow me to introduce myself, my name’s Axton Hunt-” 

In disbelief, Sammy’s gaze remains fixed on him. “I know who you are. Everyone does, no doubt. You’re the youngest Alpha who’s ever been Ascended. You became Blackacre’s Alpha when you were only 16, right?” 

With a grin on his face, Axton glanced in my direction before redirecting his attention to Sammy. He pulls me towards him, his arm lazily draping over my waist, as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. In a fleeting moment, he leaned in and nuzzled his nose against my hair, taking in my scent before shifting his stance, his arm still firmly wrapped around my waist. 

“That’s me!” With a wink, Axton says again, giving my hip a playful squeeze. “This event has been great so far, everyone’s been really cool. Mine wasn’t as massive as this one since only a few people witnessed it. Having a party 

would’ve been so much fun.” 

Axton’s arm on my waist held Sammy’s attention, and she couldn’t seem to tear her gaze away. To be honest, I was staring at it too, feeling uncertain about where to place my hands or why Axton was displaying such possessiveness towards me. It wasn’t that I disliked it, I simply wasn’t accustomed to it. On the other hand, my wolf was ecstatic, her tail wagging furiously as she soaked up his attention. 

“Chestnut,” towards Sammy as if urging me to pay attention. How about introducing us? I’m not sure what her name is, Chesnut.” 

With a gentle nudge against my hair, Axton’s hands tightened around my hips, his head motioning 

“That’s Uh, Sammy. My roommate.” 

“Ah! So very nice to meet you.”

Chapter 6 

Blinking in confusion, Sammy remained unsure of her next move. “Uh, right. Nice to meet you. So I’m just going to go… somewhere.” 

Without a wave or a word, Sammy turned and walked away, leaving us standing there. With a quiet chuckle, Axton released his hold on me slightly, his gaze fixed on my face. With his eyes slightly lowered, he focused intently on my lips, as a sensation of slippery slick moved down my legs. 

… What are you doing?” With bated breath. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him, studying his every move beneath my lowered Lashes. “You’re being too close, don’t you think?” 

Axton chose not to answer, opting instead to bring his lips tantalizingly close to my ear. I feel the warmth of his breath, brushing against my skin, causing a shiver to run down my spine. Instinctively, I find myself clutching his bicep, torn between the conflicting desires to push him away or pull him closer. 

“Just so you know, I don’t remember if you told me your name, Chestnut,” 

As Axton whispers in my ear. I can’t help but cringe with embarrassment, the weight of his reminder sinking in. I can’t‘ believe I just hooked up with someone without him even knowing my name. Axton chuckles again, and when he away, he glances to the side, a playful smirk on his lips. 

“You must be a big deal for the future Alpha of Thornholde to stare at me like that, huh?” 

pulls 

I’m filled with confusion as I lock my eyes on what he’s staring at, a sense of dread settling in my stomach. Standing just a few feet away from us, Zeke exudes an aura of danger, growling and glowering as if lie’s ready to pounce and attack.
