Darcy My Rejected Alpha Mate
a pride and prejudice novella
by Athena Hart
The moment Fitzwilliam Darcy scents Elizabeth Bennet across a crowded assembly room, his wolf knows the truth before he does: she is his mate. Fated. Irreplaceable. His.
So he does the one thing no Alpha is ever supposed to do.
He rejects her.
Pride tells him a half-blood country girl with no pack, no name, and no awakened wolf of her own can never stand beside the Alpha of Pemberley. Three careless words spoken in panic should have ended it there — except the old law doesn't forgive that easily. A rejected bond doesn't die quietly. It festers. It waits. It bleeds power from a proud man one silver hair at a time, on a clock neither of them can stop.
Elizabeth doesn't know what she is yet. She only knows something inside her has been wounded by a stranger she despises — and that the ache won't let her go. As her own long-buried wolf begins clawing toward the surface, a rival Alpha slides into her life wearing a soldier's charm and a liar's smile, ready to turn her unclaimed, rejected bond into the one weapon that could bring Pemberley to its knees.
Before the year is out, Darcy will have to choose between his pride and his life. Elizabeth will have to choose between the prejudice that protects her and the truth that terrifies her. And somewhere beneath an ancient circle of standing stones, under a rising moon, a bond broken by arrogance will either be healed by love — or lost forever.
A full-length Pride & Prejudice paranormal romance of rejected mates, ancient blood law, betrayal, and a second chance neither of them believed they deserved.
