Reject My Alpha Mate novel Chapter 8

Claire's POV

Ajax's Beta instincts flared with suspicion.

Knowing Dominic's stubborn nature, I relented. "The pack room then."

Hope flickered in his Alpha markings as he nodded. "Agreed."

I led them through sacred grounds toward our ancestral room.

The gathering chamber stood empty when we entered - a small mercy from the Moon Goddess.

Dominic claimed the Alpha's seat, gesturing beside him. "Join me, Claire. Let us speak truly."

I chose a Moon Warrior's chair instead, the ritual table creating distance between us.

Ajax respectfully withdrew, though his protective presence lingered nearby.

"You wear Moon-Blessed cosmetics now. You never adorned yourself thus for your Alpha." His accusation carried old possessiveness.

His hypocrisy stung - he'd always commanded I remain "pure as moonlight." Now that our bond was severed, I could follow my own path.
