Hunted By My Rejected Mate chapter 48
Chapter 48|| Alexis's POV ||The air was thick with the smell of sweat and blood as we moved toward the old warehouse.Marcus stood next to me, silent but tense, his hand curled around the grip of his knife. The others followed behind, their footsteps light on the cracked pavement.We moved with ease, like ghosts in the night.I had waited for hours. Hours of stalking, of searching, of the anger searing within me like a burning flame.They took her.And now, they would pay.Marcus breathed softly, "Guards at the door—two of them."I nodded. Amateurs.Before they could even move, my men were on them, snapping their necks in a minute.The corpses fell to the ground silently.We slid inside.The faint light flickered off the metal walls. It was damp, suffocating. And then, center of the room, sitting like royalty upon her throne of devastation, was her.Layana.She looked just as I'd remembered—razor sharp angles, eyes a piercing green, and a confidence that danced the border of madness.

Chapter 49Alexis's POVThe tension hung in the air, the same sortt that seeped deep into my bones. I was standing outside Elinda's door, hesitating for the first time in a while. Considering what had transpired today, I had expected her to lash out at me, to blame me like she often did. She hadn't. She had defended me, something she never did. And that strange feeling in my chest—it was unsettling. I needed to see her, to at least acknowledge what had happened.I breathed deeply and opened the door and entered. The room was shaded, moonlight streaming in through the balcony doors that had been left open. Elinda was standing in it, facing away from me, staring into the distance. Her hair spilled down her back, blowing gently with the breeze."Elinda," I spoke softly.She didn't respond. "What do you want, Alexis?" Her tone was icy, distant.I stood up with her, resting my hands on the railing. "I wanted to thank you.""For what?" she said, not glancing at me."For not throwing me unde

Chapter 50|| ELINDA'S POV ||I already knew I could sense the power of his gaze even before I had turned. The moment I saw the photo in his hands, my heart thumped madly against the ribcage. There I was—the one wearing a stunning black ensemble, the light of the studios providing a calming gloss to my features. The picture was one of the better ones from that shoot months ago when Alexis had ushered me into this world.But it wasn't the picture itself that sent me shivers down to my icy core. It was the look on which the man who held it looked at me—like I was some treasure he'd spent years looking for, and now that he'd found me, he was not going to let me go."This is you, isn't it?" His voice was smooth, but there was a definite bite to it. He moved closer, his hands curling around the edges of the picture. "I knew it when I saw you."I exhaled sharply, trying to keep my face neutral. "I don't know what you're talking about."His mouth curled into a self-satisfied smile. "Don't li

Chapter 51 || ALEXIS'S POV ||"How dare you go to that photoshoot?" My voice was low and threatening, full of the anger that had been simmering in me since I found out what had gone down. "Do you have any idea what kind of people could've been there? Do you even know the danger you put yourself in?"Elinda crossed her arms, her own temper flaring. "Oh, now you care about what happens to me?" she retorted. "You're okay with running around with murderers and gangsters, but I step in front of a camera and that's the ultimate sin? Give me a break, Alexis!"My jaw tightened. "It's different, and you know it. I'm born into this. I don't have a choice!""That's the biggest lie you've ever told yourself!" she cried. "You do have a choice. You could have walked away, but instead, you cling to it! You prefer this violent, risky life to anything else!"I took a step forward, towering over her. "And what do you want me to do, Elinda? Run away with my tail between my legs? Give it all up? Be weak

Chapter 52|| Elinda's POV ||The ship was late that night, the familiar shape of the island emerging from the darkness. A wave of exhaustion swept over me, but it was at once overwhelmed by the burning anger that had been simmering in my chest ever since Alexis told me to give up modeling."Strict orders, Elinda," he'd said, his voice absolute, leaving no room for discussion. "No more modeling. Ever."I stormed into my room and closed the door behind me, locking it. Who was he to interfere with my life? I paced across the room, my head reeling with anger and helplessness. I had wasted too much of my life under others' command. By the foster system, by the Royal Family, and now by Alexis. I was not a puppet to be controlled by him at his whim.My phone rang on the nightstand, snapping me out of my thoughts. I picked it up and recognized a familiar name on the screen—Anna. My heart tightened. I hadn't spoken to her in so long."Elinda?" Anna's voice was gentle but urgent. "You need to

Chapter 53|| ELINDA'S POV ||The moonlight inched its way through the window, casting long silver shadows across the wood floor. I was in my bed, trying to rock myself to sleep, but something felt off. Just as I was drifting off into a light sleep, my phone buzzed violently on the nightstand.I responded groggily, taken aback to see my foster father's number on the screen. A warm sense of familiarity comforted me, and then fear. Why would he be calling me at this hour? "Dad?" I replied, sitting up.He had been too lonely after loosing my mother, his soulmate. I felt sorry to leave him alone but I knew that I would only bring danger for him.There was no voice. What I heard instead were muffled noises, furniture being pushed around, feet shuffling frantically, and… shouting."Dad? Dad, are you there?" I said again, this time louder.And then I heard it.A blood-curdling scream. Followed by the recognizable thud of something hitting flesh. Over and over.My heart dropped. I tightened

Chapter 54|| ALEXIS'S POV ||I said nothing to Elinda. Not where I was going, not why I'd left early this morning, and of course not about the hole that had been in my stomach ever since the call. The moment Alpha Killian made the suggestion that something was not entirely normal with her foster father's death, I knew I needed to witness it myself.Ireland was colder than I remembered. Not in weather, but in mood. The skies were clouded, and the wind moaned as if lamenting something painful. When I came to the house—Elinda's childhood home—I halted at the gate, my boots crunching over pebbles. It looked normal at first glance, too normal. That alone was unnerving.Killian met me at the porch. He had already secured the place, making sure the rest of the pack members remaining in Ireland wouldn't interfere with us. I nodded in gratitude and went in.I breathed deeply. The air would have been filled with smells—blood, fear, anger, something. But nothing. Nothing at all."This doesn't m

Chapter 55|| ELINDA's POV ||The following morning, the sun crept in through the window, casting golden streaks on the wooden cottage floor. I had not slept much, my mind still weighed down by everything that had happened in the North. The argument with Alberto, the slap, Alexis's declaration that I was his—it all lingered in my mind like a haunted melody that would not fade. I had not seen Alexis since we got back to the island. He'd retreated to his study, as he typically did following angry shouting matches. I didn't push.A tap at the door startled me. My heart skipped a beat as I called out, "Yes?"The door opened and one of the guards stood before me. "Lady Elinda, your brother Alberto has come."Alberto? My heart skipped a beat, and I stood up hastily, smoothing my dress and dabbing at my reflection. I had not seen him in what seemed like forever. For all that, Alberto was a breath of peace—one of the few people who made me feel loved.I rushed to the principal lounge, where

|| ELINDA'S POV ||I did not say a word on the return boat trip to the island. The sea was calm—ironically so—as if the world had become silent for me.Alexis stood beside me, silent too, arms crossed, expression unreadable. I did not ask him why he refused to look at me every time our eyes met. I did not ask because I already knew.Something had changed.The sky was dirty gray and dark when we arrived, with the air heavy with dampness. There was a storm surging inside me and above. I pulled myself up from the boat, my heels clicking as I walked on the wooden dock. I did not wait. I marched straight into the house.The next morning came with an unexpected guest. I had barely made it down into the kitchen when I could hear the sharp sound of a woman's voice ringing from the hallway. Her perfume hit me first—artificial roses, the sort of scent trying to seduce the men. This was followed by the clicking of heels and a werewolf aura."I'm here for Alexis," she said to the maid, loudly enou

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.

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.
