Rejected By One, Claimed By Another The Alpha’s Dilemma
Chapter Forty One: The Alpha’s DilemmaAlpha Damon’s POVI stood by the bedside, watching Cara as she lay there, her face pale and her breathing slow. She looked fragile, nothing like the warrior I had once known. But I knew better than to be fooled by appearances. Cara was strong. She had always been.I knew her well, not personally, but her reputation spoke for itself. She was once a fierce warrior of the Winder Pack, one of the best fighters they had. Then, suddenly, she became Liam’s mate in Silver Pack Caleb. It never made sense to me. How could someone like her go from being a warrior to the Luna of another pack?Her story was complicated, and I had too many questions.Why was she here?If she was truly Liam’s mate, why wasn’t she in Silver Pack with him?And most importantly—why would she need medical treatment from my pack when Silver Pack Caleb had great doctors of their own?I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.I turned to Sophia, who had brought her here.

Chapter One hundred and Six: Unmasked Secrets Cara's POV A pounding headache throbbed inside my head as I gradually awoke. My body felt leaden, my limbs trembling. My last recollection was the argument with Liam, the scorching pinch of a needle, and then—nothing. I blinked, my vision blurry at first, but then the room came into focus. It was unfamiliar. The air smelled different, like pine trees and fresh earth. This wasn’t Silver Pack Caleb. “Cara! You’re awake!” A voice I knew shook me out of my reverie. I looked up to see Sophia beside my bed, a radiant smile on her face illuminating it. Her eyes sparkled as if she had worried for eternity. "You scared me," she said, her hand sweeping lightly over my arm. "I thought we lost you." I tried to sit up, but my body fought me. A splintering pain shot through my arm, and I winced. "Don't move so much," Sophia warned. "You're too weak." I took slow breaths, my mind reeling with questions. "Where am I? I here’s Liam" I demanded. S

Chapter Forty Three: Bound by the AlphaCara's POVThree days.Three days ago is when Sophia left me off with Alpha Damon's pack. Three days ago is when I saw her face, a mixture of worry and distress, begging Damon to keep me safe. Three days of being locked inside this healer's home, with nothing but my own mind and the occasional visit from Damon and the doctor.The room was filled with the aroma of herbs and wet soil, a smell that reminded me I was still convalescing. My body was stronger now, but my head was as fatigued as the day I awoke here.I had barely spoken to anyone except Damon and the doctor. The pack members would have known I was there, but no one approached me. No one inquired about who I was.Maybe they didn't care.Maybe they already understood.The sun streamed through the small window when I rolled over beneath the dense blanket. My body ached still, and I was happy at least to be able to leave bed without nearly falling to the floor.As if sensing I was changing

Chapter Forty Four: Uncontrollable DesireAlpha Damon’s POVThe night was quiet, but my mind was anything but.I sat in my office, staring at the untouched glass of whiskey on my desk, my fingers tapping against the wood in frustration. It had been three days since Cara arrived, and yet, she still refused to trust me. She barely spoke to me unless necessary, and even then, her words were cold, distant.I should have let her leave. I should have respected her decision. But I couldn’t.Not because she was a warrior. Not because she was valuable. But because I wanted her.My wolf had been restless ever since she set foot in my pack. It was an unfamiliar feeling, one that made it hard to focus, hard to think straight. Every time I caught her scent, my control wavered. Every time I looked at her, my wolf growled in frustration, demanding that I take her, claim her.But she didn’t trust me.She thought I was like Caleb and Liam—men who had used her, betrayed her. And the more she pushed me

Chapter Five: A Past Full of ScarsCara’s POVThe morning air felt heavy as I walked toward the healer’s place. My mind was a storm of emotions—anger, confusion, and something I didn’t want to name. Damon had been getting too close to me, and I hated it. I hated how it made my wolf restless, how it made my heart beat a little too fast.I pushed open the door to the healer’s hut and stepped inside. The scent of herbs and medicine filled my nose, mixing with the soft scent of burning wood. The doctor, an older man with kind eyes and a calm presence, looked up as I entered. He was used to my visits now, always checking on my recovery since Sophia left.But today was different.He noticed it immediately.“What’s wrong?” he asked, setting down a small bowl of crushed herbs.I crossed my arms and let out a frustrated sigh. “Damon.”The doctor raised an eyebrow, a small smile tugging at his lips. “What did he do this time?”“He’s been moving close to me,” I said, my voice sharp. “Too close.

Chapter Forty-Six: Painful RealizationLiam’s POVI sat alone in my room, staring at the empty space in front of me, my heart aching in a way I had never known before. The air felt heavy, pressing down on my chest like a weight I couldn’t lift.For days, my mind had been at war with itself. My wolf was restless, pacing, howling, demanding that I go after her.But I didn’t.I told myself she wasn’t worth it. That she had deceived me, manipulated me, and left without a word. That she had been lying all along.Then why did it hurt?Why did my chest feel hollow every time I closed my eyes? Why did I wake up reaching for someone who wasn’t there?Why did my heart betray me every time I thought about her?I ran a hand over my face, groaning.“I don’t care about her,” I whispered to myself.A lie.A painful, bitter lie.I pushed myself up, needing air. Maybe if I trained, if I forced my body into exhaustion, my thoughts would stop torturing me.I stepped into the hallway, heading toward the

Chapter Forty-Seven: Uncontrollable DesiresCara’s POVI stood outside Damon’s room, my heart pounding so hard it echoed in my ears.Why was I even here?I had told myself I would avoid him, keep my distance. But my feet had brought me here like I had no control over my own body.I inhaled sharply, trying to calm my racing heart.Then, before I could stop myself, I knocked.Silence.I hesitated. Maybe he wasn’t here. Maybe this was a mistake.Just as I turned to leave, the door opened.And my breath caught.Damon stood there, a white towel wrapped around his waist, drops of water sliding down his perfectly sculpted chest.I froze.His muscles were sharp and defined, his broad shoulders strong and powerful. The way his skin glistened under the dim light made him look even more irresistible.His damp black hair fell slightly over his forehead, and his piercing eyes locked onto mine.I swallowed hard.Oh, Goddess.A wave of heat rushed through my body.

My whole body trembled as silent tears ran down my face.I messed up.I messed up that badly.Cara had been pure all this time, and I let them ruin her.I let my mom and Vanessa lie to me. I let them turn me against her, to make me believe that she was this scheming traitor when she just survived.My fists clenched as fresh pain ran through my chest.I had hurt her. I had pushed her away. I had stood there and let them turn her out.And now… she was gone.The worst part?I had no idea where she was.Would she ever forgive me?Would she even want to talk to me again?Guilt was eating away at me.I pinched my eyes shut as my wolf growled in my head, restless, full of guilt.

Chapter: The PretenceCara's POVI stood before the bathroom mirror, my thoughts racing. The plan had to succeed. I had thought about this all day long. There was no way I was going to let Damon get away from me. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to get him back into my life, not in the way I wanted. But now, I had a perfect plan. A way to get him to look at me in a different way.I took a deep breath, scanning the bathroom. It was quiet. Too quiet. I had to make a scene, something that would get Damon's attention and demonstrate to him how much he needed me.What was I going to do?I looked down at the floor in an instant, my head spinning. And then I had it. A snake. A snake, yes. It would be ideal. I could pretend there was a snake in the bathroom, and Damon would run to my aid. I could scream, bolt out, and he would rescue me, would notice me, would care about me. It was ideal.I could already imagine it in my mind's eye: Damon bursting in, his eyes filled with concern, s

Chapter 105: Cara's POV – The Unexpected SightI had been pacing around the packhouse, trying to cool my head. It had been days since I'd spoken with Damon. Ever since the evening he'd betrayed me, I couldn't seem to handle him. And now, even Sophia, she wasn't even staring at me in the same way anymore. There was tension among us all.But that was something to worry about another time. There was something that worried me much more. I had to keep Damon away from Sophia. I had to tear them apart, destroy what was between them. That was my plan. That was my plan since the first time I'd seen them together, but deep within me lay something that had it set upon making it become a reality.I returned towards the living room, the part of the packhouse where individuals typically gather. But when I drew near, I stopped. I overheard the laughter and became frozen.I did not anticipate this. Not at all.I looked out the window, and there they were. Damon and Sophia. Sitting together. Laughing.

Since I apologized to her for the error I committed.And every single day thereafter felt like punishment.Sophia stopped sharing our bed. She gathered her stuff and just left without a word. And never returned.She barely addressed me.She walked past me as if I didn't exist.As if I were a stranger.Even Kayden, my wolf, stopped talking to me for a while. He was upset too. Upset with me. Upset at hurting our mate.Now, I was standing in front of her room… heart pounding like a drum.I didn't know why I was scared. I was the Alpha of the strongest pack. I could kill ten rogues in one stroke and not blink.But I couldn't go to my mate's door and knock.I closed my eyes and took deep breaths."Open the door, Damon."Kayden's voice resurfaced eventually."If she refuses you entry, we'll deal with that.

.Chapter Forty Three – Cara's Point of ViewI lay on the couch with hands folded across my belly. The house was quiet. Too quiet. I still remembered Sophia's crying in my head although she had scaled up to the bedrooms. Her heart was broken. And because of me. I did not intend to hurt her. I did not intend to do all of these. But I did.I never planned on sleeping with Damon again, but these…It just escaped me.And then… I did something. I did it in order not to be disposed of by Damon. He looked at Sophia as if she was the sun, and yet I couldn't let him do so without a fight. I had something—a baby. Something potent.The thing is I knew.Growing inside of me is a baby by Liam.I was already three months pregnant before Damon ever touched me again. And Damon knew.

Chapter Title: The News That Broke MeSophia's POVI sat alone in the garden behind the packhouse. It was quiet. The only noises were birds and the wind through the trees. I had my knees curled up tight against my chest and cried silently.I did not want anyone to see me. My heart felt like a stone. I thought I could be strong. I thought not speaking to Damon would hurt less. But no… it hurt worse. I couldn't get him out of my head. I couldn't get his voice out of my head, apologizing… telling me he still loved me.But how do you say I love you to someone and then go to bed with somebody else?I wiped away my tears in a hurry when I heard footsteps. I was praying that it was Lucas. He had stopped by to check on me earlier, but I told him I needed to be alone. I didn't want anyone. I wanted peace.But when I turned around…It was Cara.I frowned and looked away immediately. I did not wish to gaze at her. I did not wish to hear her voice. But she did not mind. She walked towards me slow

Chapter 101Damon's POVI could feel the weight of the silence hanging in the air. The tension between Sophia and me had been mounting for days now, and despite how much I fought it, it seemed like the distance between us continued to widen. The things I'd shared with her, the truth about what transpired with Cara—it was just too much for her to process. I had expected her to be furious, but I could never imagine that it would be like she was escaping me, step by step.I stumbled through the packhouse, my feet heavy on the ground, my mind spinning. I hadn't talked to Sophia since I'd told her Cara was dead. Since then, she'd barely even looked at me. When she did, her eyes were full of hurt, betrayal… and something else I couldn't quite pinpoint. She was so far gone, and nothing I said or did seemed able to bring her back.Today, I was compelled to deal with her. I was compelled to make her understand that I loved her. That I didn't want Cara. That I didn't want anyone else other than

Chapter HundredHe Chose Her Instead of MeSophia's POVI curled up alone in the packhouse garden at the base of a big tree where no one could see me sitting. I tucked my knees up into my chest and wrapped my arms around them, and had my chin resting on top. I wasn't crying anymore. My eyes were already tender. My heart pounded harder.I hadn't even noticed how long I had been sitting there. Maybe hours. All of it weighed on me. My chest, my breath, my mind.Then I heard footsteps.I didn't lift my head."Sophia?"I knew that voice. It was Lucas. Damon's Beta. His best friend.I didn't answer him.He approached slowly and sat beside me without permission."You've been out here a while," he said softly. "Are you okay?"I didn't look at him. I didn't talk. I didn't even move.Lucas hesitated, then said again, "Sophia, you need to tell me something. You don't sound okay."I shut my eyes and let out an unsteady breath. "I'm not," I hardly whispered.His face drifted before me, concerned.

Chapter Ninety NineHer ScentI was in the packhouse living room, holding a pillow to my chest. It was quiet in the room. The fire was low in the fireplace, and the night air was cold. I had just come back from my parents' house. I missed them, but I missed Damon more while I was away.I smiled to myself as I thought about him. I wanted to surprise him with my return, maybe cook for him, maybe cuddle in his arms like we used to. I missed his warmth, his scent, his laughter. I missed the way he would look at me as if I was the only person in the world.I heard the door open.My heart pounded.He was back.I sat up straight right away and turned toward the door, expecting his smile. But Damon didn't smile. He walked in slowly, shoulders tense, eyes brooding. He didn't even look at me."Hey," I said softly, attempting to make him look at me.He nodded just and walked by me. No hug. No kiss. No words. He was… different."Damon?" I said softly. "Is everything okay?"He didn't answer. He ju

He did not say anything for a moment. He was dazed. Then he sat up abruptly."What the hell?" he cried, breathing heavily.I also sat up, wrapping myself in the blanket. "Damon, relax. You're okay.""What is this?" he shouted. "What happened last night?"I looked at him. "You were drunk. You were upset. You needed someone. I was there for you."His eyes were wide open. "No. No, this didn't happen. Tell me we didn't sleep together."I said nothing.He jumped off the bed, pulling up his pants. Then he came to my side and grabbed my arm roughly."You tricked me, didn't you?" he yelled. "You planned this!""No!
