" You called for me?"

Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.

I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me,

" Yes, come inside."

Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously,

" Anything important?"

I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction,

" You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."

Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw,

" Means? As your mistress or girlfriend or what, Alpha?"

My jaw clenched tight at her question. It annoyed me since my heart had no ans

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   Chapter 27

    There was a thick silence lingering between us. I waited for his answer, a whole eternity passing between us. Xander didn't speak for a good moment until he burst into laughter. His laughter was insulting and humiliating. He spoke with mockery," Do you believe that you hold the honor of giving birth to my child, Carissa? A murderer like you?"He grasped my jaw the following moment. I let out a choke, frightened under the weight of his killing eyes. I reasoned, taking all the pressure from him," I...I...I was born in Blood Moon..I have the ability ...I do.. I.."Xander's gaze darkened with confusion. He let go of my chin, reconsidering the offer that I made to him. We stayed silent for a while before he spoke with gruff," If you wish to repay, there is only one way."I was prepared for the worst. Looking back at my pack's condition, there was nothing left to save them anymore. My father had become reckless but I couldn't afford to lose anymore because of me. I urged him to speak, me

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   Chapter 28

    The invitation from my father, the former king, stirred a tempest of emotions within me, a maelstrom of anger and unresolved grievances that had lingered for years. The moonlit night hung heavy with anticipation as I made my way to the designated meeting place. Shadows clung to the corners of my thoughts, and the echoes of the past reverberated with every step.As I approached, my father stood in the moonlit clearing, a figure from my tumultuous history. His features, weathered by time and the weight of the crown he had once worn, held a veneer of authority that rankled against the currents of my defiance."Kai," he uttered, a measured acknowledgment of the son he had long been estranged from.I met his gaze with a fire that burned in the depths of my eyes. "What do you want?" The words, laced with the bitterness of years gone by, hung in the air like an unspoken challenge.He sighed, a weary exhale that seemed to carry the burden of a fractured bond. "I've called you here to discuss

    || ELINDA's POV ||" Where did your Don disappear for days?"I questioned Matteo in a tone of sarcasm. He cast me a hateful glare before answering coldly," That's not your concern, Princess. He is our Alpha Don, not some jobless princess."I took that insult personally. Indeed I was the most useless person here because I got nothing to do. Before entering my Royal family, I had a life and dream. I wanted to gift my parents. That life was sweet and simple until my earlier shelf was torn down.I scoffed at his reply, dropping the magazine aside to walk back to my room," I would have done a better job if I was him."Matteo never liked me for some reason. It was his Don who rejected our bond. He behaved like I was the one who was responsible for everything. I didn't see Alexis for days. After the murder of Alpha Austin, he disappeared again. I didn't miss him but I didn't like the way he vanished without telling me anything.I kept my curiosity reserved for the time being. The days were

    || ELINDA's POV ||Mona jumped up in shock, her voice trembling," What.. what do you want from me, Princess?"She could pretty much guess I was going to ask something forbidden. I gave her a sheepish smile, my words turning sweet as much as possible," Just for two days! I need to get out of here,Mona. I want to travel in Kanada."Mona moved on the other side of the room in a record time. She kept shaking her head without hearing any explanation," No..No...No way, Princess. Alpha Don has strictly told me to accompany you. You aren't allowed to leave the Island."A frustrated growl left my lips. I was expecting the same reaction from her. Standing on my feet, I used her own words to manipulate her. I placed my hands on her shoulder, showing a friendly gesture to ease her," Mona, I have a second plan as well. You promised your Don not to leave my side, right? Why don't you go with me then? I promise that we will come back in two days. Please Mona. Let me fulfill my dream. You are a g

    || ALEXIS'S POV ||" You have sold my cure without my permission. How do you answer that, Alpha Zake?"I had never been in such rage recently. Our secrets were in threat. For years, I was doing this business with Albert. No one had dared to go against me. When Matteo informed me, I was determined to finish this bastard by myself.Alpha Zake wiped sweat from his face. He didn't expect to be exposed so soon. He tried to explain, his words stuttering," Alpha Don..I didn't mean to..he threatened..aaahhh..."Matteo cracked his neck down before he could explain anything. I sold my Lycan injection to him a year ago. It was my joint business with Albert. We sold it only to the trustworthy group under a legal contract. Whoever broke the contract, they had to pay for it with their lives.I threw a kick on his face, his legs falling down," BASTARD!! You sold the injection to my enemy and you claim it as a mistake? SUBMIT YOUR WHOLE PACK TO ME!"Alpha Zake had sold our injection to Alpha Justin

    || ELINDA's POV ||" I guess, we are here!"I rechecked the address again and again. It was all the same but Mona was scared to death. She was shaking like a leaf and for the goddess's sake, I was quite impressed with her plan.We disguised ourselves with the staff that brought food to the Island. No one even doubted us eloping since we were in their company's uniform. Mona came up with this idea and we came to Kanada without any drama.Mona shook my hand, her body still quivering in fear," Princess! What if they track us? I am really scared of the Alpha Don!"I assured her gently, my focus laying on my shoot," Ssssh! He isn't here and will be back in a few days. Let's not waste our time. The team is on the fifth floor."I dragged Mona with me on the second floor. They welcomed me warmly and I felt a bit overwhelmed to receive their greetings. I was completely new into this modeling industry but their attitude never overshadowed me.The manager shared the details with me. I gave Mon

    || ELINDA's POV ||The makeup suited me well. I had an emerald necklace around my neck. The Jewel and my lipstick combined well together. I had a diva aura flourishing from my body.Mona admired me in awe and amazement. She gasped when they were done with my final look. The crew was here to guide the way. The manager was a young lady who couldn't stop talking," Oh my gosh! You look fabulous, darling! I wish that you were my permanent model."I refused politely, wearing a grateful smile," I feel the same, Miss Martha. But I am not taking modeling seriously."Martha kept talking about how they lived my aura. We chatted so much that I didn't notice when we strode upstairs through the elevator. Martha said excitedly, heading us to the photoshoot room," Here are your partners. Alpha Zade will love this shoot. He may give you big offers in the future."I heard from the makeup artists that the company was owned by Alpha Zade and his sister. They were least interested in this company and g

    || ELINDA's POV ||I gave my best smile even though I was shaking inside. All I could pray was that Alexis wasn't going to create a scene here. I smiled at the camera without paying attention to his murderous eyes. On the other hand, Mona was on the verge of collapsing.Alpha Zade introduced everything to Alexis enthusiastically," I was talking about this company. It's shoot day here. Would you like to go down, Alpha Don? They aren't so famous models."Alexis responded coldly, his eyes lingering on the man who was applying makeup on my chest," Indeed they aren't. I would like to see the shoot,Alpha. You may go."I gulped hard at his words. They could have just avoided my existence. But Alexis did the opposite. He took the chair and sat aside like a good audience. I felt the air in my stomach stuck in fear. His eyes never left mine and the possibility of breaking down was close.I hardly remembered how long I stood for the shoot. By the time, I was done, the choreographer gave me his

    Chapter 71|| Elinda's POV ||The smell of fresh herbs and pine hung on through the open corridor, light footsteps padding down shiny stone. I hadn't intended to overhear, but the maids were whispering in that obvious manner, speaking out loud to be heard."He's going to choose a mate," said one of them, her tone low but with an excitement to it."From the ancestor clans, no less. The elders pushed him. It's only a matter of time now."I froze, halfway down the corridor that gave access to the east garden, fists clenched so hard that my nails cut into the palms of my hands. Something in me snapped silently—not dramatically but an obvious pain to my heart.A mate. Of course, he would. Why wouldn't he? He was Alexis Kozlov—the respected and feared Alpha Don. He had responsibilities that exceeded my understanding. I was just. A mistake. Past. Regret.I turned on my heel to leave but almost ran into someone."Elinda."It was Alberto.His voice had been different of late, not brotherly and

    Chapter 70|| ALEXIS'S POV ||My grandfather's words rang in my head like a curse I couldn't ignore."He won't wake up, Alexis. He was hit with spell-coated claws. It's not physical damage—it's dark magic," she said, wiping sweat from her brow as she examined my grandfather's motionless body.I gripped my palms in my fists. My strongest human being alive grandfather lay unconscious, his chest rising and falling shallow, unusual l breaths. I could sense Elinda standing behind me. Her cologne—sweet mix of wet roses and attitude—was oddly calming through the pain growing inside me."I can help," she whispered.I didn't look at her. "No.""Elinda—"I said no. Finally, I turned. "You're Royal. You don't just bleed for commoners. You know the rules. Your blood. it's not for everyone."She stepped forward anyway, her eyes burning into mine like fire on cold metal. "I don't care about the rules.""Elinda—"I said—" I was cut off by her with a ferocity that froze the entire room, "—a life is m

    Chapter 69|| ALEXIS'S POV ||As soon as Elinda got out of the car, her eyes narrowed like blades. "Tell me you didn't call those neighbors," she said, her voice cutting through the silence like a knife.I didn't respond.I couldn't. Because honestly, I had no idea that they would be gone so fast.But if I said it out loud, she would never believe me. Her trust was already on a broken—torn and ready to snap at the slightest pull.So I let the silence hang there. Let her fill it with whatever she wishes. Disappointment. Accusation. Hatred.She snorted and whirled away on her heel, mumbling something under her breath that I couldn't quite catch—but I heard the tone. She was done. At least for now. I watched her stalk into the hotel, shoulders braced, back straight. Like she was off to war.I huffed, pinching the bridge of my nose between two fingers, trying to allow the pressure building behind my eyes to bleed off. I turned to enter myself when my phone rang. I looked at the screen—Leo.

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 68

    Chapter 68|| Elinda's POV ||I knew something was suspicious the moment I saw Clara pass Alberto like he was a stranger. She didn't look his way at all, didn't smile—nothing. Her cold, calm eyes zeroed in on the tall man who stood near the entrance. She approached him, her arms hugging him like she belonged there. And maybe she did.Alberto remained there, stiff, shoulders tightened, lips parted slightly as if he was about to say something… anything. But nothing escaped. I placed a gentle hand on his arm, attempting to question him."Who is she?" I whispered.His jaw tightened. "It's complicated."That was all he said. And I could tell he wasn't about to tell me—either because it was too painful or because uttering it aloud would make it so. I didn't push. Not now.The rest of the night was foggy. I remember little of the talk or the string quartet in the corner or the scent of wine drifting through the air. My head was still thinking around Clara and Alberto. When at last I was info

    Chapter 67|| Alexis's POV ||The atmosphere in that hotel room was so tense that I felt it choking me. My claws stretched out under my skin, the beast inside me snarling for power as I stood face-to-face with Alaric. His presence just fueled the fire burning inside me. I wanted to wipe that look off his face.But then her voice cut through the warmth like a knife."Get out! Both of you!"Elinda.Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, her body trembling with rage—but not the trembling of weakness. No. She was done with us. Done with our fight over her. And she meant it."Elinda—" I approached her, but she pushed away."Out!" she shouted again, waving toward the door. "I said out!"There was no room for argument. I let the bitterness sit on my tongue and walked out in silence. Alaric glared at me as if he wished to murder me.He wasn't punched. Not yet. Not after what had just been done to her.I just stood outside the door like an idiot. I didn't feel like leaving her alone. My wolf did

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 66

    Chapter 66Alexis's POVI held her—more closely than I ever had. Her body trembled against me, not from the cold but from something much darker, something more heavy. Elinda hadn't spoken a word since we'd left that blood-soaked warehouse. Her hands were still stained, despite my having washed them clean. The first kill always leaves a mark that water can't wash away.I kept one arm around her shoulders as I controlled my men with the other. My voice was steady, cold, calculated—giving orders I'd given a hundred times before, but each word meant something this time. "Burn everything," I told them. "No bodies, no bullets, no fucking whispers. Nobody hears what happened tonight. Nobody at all."Yes, Boss," my second-in-command, Viktor, replied as he was already getting our cleanup crew moving.Elinda flinched at the word "bodies." I drew her closer, pushing her toward the car parked beside. She moved as if she was walking through sludge-or memory. I recognized the feeling well. I had be

    Chapter 65|| ELINDA'S POV ||The ride had become an eternity.I have no idea which part of me figured this wouldn't be a trap. Perhaps desperation. Perhaps guilt. Or perhaps the weak part of me that still believed that monsters—people, even—had a boundary they wouldn't cross. But I should have known better. Liam never did have a boundary. He was born to break them.The GPS beeped as I stopped. The address was hanging in front of my sight.It wasn't some hidden estate or underground bunker that I had expected. No. It was a god-awful roadside bar stuck between dying pine trees and an ancient billboard that said "Heaven's Brew"—as if heaven hadn't already borrowed it.I pulled up, took a breath, and stepped out.The smell arrived first— alcohol, filth, something dark underneath.Some men looked in my direction as I walked inside. Their eyes never blinked. One of them had a bit of blood streaked on his chin. Simply sitting like that was not anything.It wasn't a bar. This was a kill zone.

    Chapter 64|| ALEXIS'S POV ||An hour ago.I stood behind the frosted glass, arms crossed, jaw clamped in place as I gazed at them through the window of this top-floor restaurant. Every nerve in my body screamed for control, but the moment Alaric made contact with her hand, I felt something deep within me awaken—possessive, animalistic, deadly.Elinda smiled, that fake,vacant smile of hers, that she would display at royal pageants and scripted press events. But her face—stiff, strained—gave away the show. She didn't like it. And he did know that. That bastard got closer to her, ran his fingers against hers like he belonged. Like he was her mate already that I stood but a couple steps away, ready to let this all go up in flames inside.I reached into my jacket pocket and flipped the button on the comm.

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 63

    Chapter 63|| Alexis's POV ||I glanced down at my phone, my thumb hovering over the screen as I considered whether to answer or not. It was Alberto—my best friend, but also the one who made it painfully clear that my feelings for Elinda were a problem. I sighed and pressed the green button."Alexis," Alberto's voice cracked through the speaker, sharp and to the point. "Have you found Elinda's previous mate yet?"The words hung in the air, and I knew what he was really asking. Alberto was so desperate to find out who had hurt Elinda, and I knew why. But the guilt twisted in my belly as I prepared to lie to him."No," I said, my voice was calm even though as I seethed inside. "I haven't found out yet. She's hiding it, and she's not making it easy."There it was. The lie. The simple words that made the reality of the situation easier. Alberto had no idea that Elinda's mate was me—that it had always been me. I was not going to admit that, not to him, not to anyone."Well, you know how mu
