Submission is Not My Style

#Stary Writing Academy V

Kali has known one truth her entire life—she was never meant to bow.

Adopted as a child by her Beta parents, she has no memory of where she came from, but the pack never lets her forget that she was picked up from the dirt—an outsider, a stray. They expect her to be grateful, obedient, and content with her place. But Kali refuses.

She watches the women in her pack lower their heads, bear children, and serve their mates like loyal pets—all for men who would discard them the moment they grew tired. She refuses to be like them. She refuses to be owned.

Her goal is simple: to create a world where women rule, where men kneel, where the mate bond isn’t a gift but a curse—a noose for those foolish enough to believe in love.

So when she turns eighteen and discovers that the arrogant future Alpha, Travis, is her mate—her first-chance mate—she doesn’t hesitate. She meets his gaze, smirks, and rejects him without a second thought. The fury in his eyes when she refuses to submit is almost satisfying. But defying him comes with consequences.

For rejecting the Alpha, she is banished. They expect her to crawl back, broken and begging, but she walks away with nothing but her pride, her ambition, and a cruel smile.

But fate is not done with her yet.

Kali soon finds herself in the domain of Alpha Jack, her second-chance mate—the most feared Alpha after the Alpha King himself. Ruthless, arrogant, and raised to believe that women exist only to serve, Jack is everything she despises. His mother obeyed. His sisters were trained to submit. Every woman in his pack knows her place beneath him.

Until her.

Jack is nothing like Travis. He doesn’t just demand obedience—he enforces it. His pack treats women even worse than her former one, and he rules with an iron fist, crushing any sign of defiance before it can take root.

Determined to break her, he makes it clear that no woman has ever resisted him—and lived to tell the tale.

Just like before, Kali is determined to reject him. But this time, it won’t be so easy.Not when the truth is tangled in their bond.

Because the moment she kisses Jack, memories begin to surface—flashes of a childhood she doesn’t remember. A past buried deep within her mind. And one truth that shakes her to her core: if she wants answers, if she wants to uncover the mystery of who she truly is, she will have to do the one thing she swore she never would—submit to him.

She believes she can resist him and that she will never fall victim to the mate bond, especially when she learns the horrifying fate of Jack’s first mate—that she died from his forceful submission—Kali realises this is more than just a battle of wills.

It’s a fight for survival.

Jack may believe he can tame her.

But he has no idea that the woman he seeks to break is the one he was always meant to kneel before.
