Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 128: pity
Callista’s POVThe news hit me like a physical blow. The air whooshed out of my lungs, leaving a hollow ache in my chest. “Bedridden?” I rasped, a low murmur to myself, the word catching in my throat. “For months?”The incident. The betrayal that had clawed open a fresh wound every single day. Months? He'd been living a comfortable life while I, branded a killer, had been forced to run to fight for survival out there in the woods. A bitter laugh escaped my lips, a humorless sound that scraped against my raw nerves.And Dahlia, hearing that she was dead, relief washed over me, cold and unexpected. Relief mingled with a sour aftertaste of something else—disappointment? Regret? Dahlia deserved what she got, but a part of me, the naive part that clung to memories of a lost friendship, felt a dull ache.But that ache was quickly drowned out by a surge of something far more potent—frustration. Years of hardship, of living like a hunted animal all alone in the woods, all for revenge that mig
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 129: Not what I expected
Callista’s POV~~A tremor ran through me. News about Dahlia’s death hit me like a second blow. I shut my eyes, the image of Dahlia flashing behind my eyelids. I reflected back, moment by moment, on her kind heart. I was a fool. I never trusted her to say that she couldn’t do such things to me.She should have just told me things. I noticed her the night I was framed. She looked frightened and seemed like something was disturbing her, but I didn’t ask what it was. I should have asked her. Well, the deed has been done. Shame, a heavy weight, settled in my gut for the first time. The thirst for vengeance had blinded me. Dahlia hadn't been a villain, just another pawn in Selena’s cruel game. I never suspected her. She was a lion in sheep's clothing. I knew it was too good to be true for her not to feel hatred towards me for making her mate reject her. Oh poor Dahlia, a single tear escaped, tracing a warm path down my cheek. Grief, raw and unexpected, threatened to drown me. But as quick
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 130: I healed him
Callista’s POV “Yes, because I am the Alpha Queen of the Midnight Mirage Pack,” I blurted. His brow narrowed at me, as if wanting to ask if I knew what I had just said. “Are you kidding me? Callista, I am being serious here,” he said frankly. I frowned. “Does it look like I’m joking either?” I asked. “Are you being serious right now?” He darted his gaze between Andrian, who was standing behind him, and me. “Max, I can’t lie to you. Look, right there,” I gestured towards Andrian. “Is Andrian, my beta, the beta of the Midnight Mirage pack?” Max turned towards Andrian and scanned him from head to toe as if checking if he was capable of being a beta, as I had claimed. “He has been the beta for as long as I know,” I added as a matter of fact. He stood up from where he was seated and walked towards Andrian. He stopped at arms length from him. I walked around him as if checking him out. He got to his front again and then stopped again. “He has the aura, but...” I interrupted him. "N
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 131: Felt alive
Cassius’ POVMy eyes fluttered open. I felt alive once again after seven years of living in pain and guilt. Guilty of passing the wrong judgment. It wasn’t just to nobody; it was to my first love. The woman I found myself to love despite the fact that my father and everyone in the pack kicked against it. Why? Because she was an omega, the lowest in the food chain. But none of them realized that love is beyond rank and status. To everyone, my sickness started six months ago, but within me, I have been dying since the day of my mating ceremony with Selene. She was my fated mate, but I don't feel the connection with us; even my wolf doesn’t. It‘s kind of strange. A weak smile tugged at his lips. “You…” I trailed off, choking on my saliva at the sight of my healer. The woman I sentenced to death without prior investigation to confirm if she truly killed my sister had shame burned in my gut and a bitter taste on my tongue. My eyes stung, but not from the remnants of pain.The pain of gui
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 132: A question I can’t answer
Callista POV~~The question hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t expecting him to ask me such a question. Wait, what was he thinking? I shouldn’t have encouraged him to ask. I was thinking he would ask how I became the alpha, since that’s what everyone asks. I scoffed and turned to him. I gulped down, with a lump that felt like the size of a pea in my throat. Cassius’ eyes, filled with a desperate hope that twisted my gut, awaited my answer. He is asking for my love. How could I love the man who condemned me on fabricated charges and ordered my execution without an ounce of sympathy? Has he summoned that courage because I have healed him? I had forgiven him, but love? Again? My fingers instinctively curled into fists, the fabric of my dress bunching under my tightening grip. A low growl rumbled in my chest, a primal reaction to the impossible situation. Love or loyalty? My pack or the man who stole my heart before it even knew what love was? I know if I accepted to love him back, I
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 133: Disappointed again
Cassius’ POVI stood there, like a statue carved from despair, the moonlight a cruel spotlight on the wreckage of my heart. My heart felt like a shattered mirror, reflecting fragments of my pain and sorrow. Foolish. I knew it was foolish to hope. Forgiveness, a chance at something more—those were luxuries I didn't deserve. Yet hadn't I seen a flicker, a warmth in her eyes, before the dam of duty slammed shut? Callista. The name whispered on my lips, a bittersweet melody that resonated with the guilt that had gnawed at me for years. Guilt that had morphed into a slow-burning illness, a sickness no healer could cure.Now, that fragile hope lay shattered on the cold stone floor. I squeezed my eyes shut, the weight of my past crushing me. Every whispered accusation and every sleepless night haunted me. I hadn't stopped her execution—all convenient excuses that couldn't mask the truth: I'd failed her, the woman I'd loved with a fierce passion since childhood. She was thirteen, and I was s
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 134: Scent of war
Cassius’ POV~~I have taken over the packing duties since I have gotten back to my feet. It’s been three months since Callista rejected me and left for her pack. I hope she finds peace in the man she wants to choose, or has probably chosen. I haven’t heard from her since then. I had to let go even though my heart still aches for her every night and day, just like in the past years. For the past three months, it’s been a hell of a struggle. Training some selected pack members as warriors. Since the incident that night, we have lost most of our warriors to Callista’s vengeance. I was awestruck, but I think we deserve anything she had planned to do. I can’t leave my pack without warriors, which will make us vulnerable to attack. Plus, we still have to maintain our position as the strongest pack in Northern Wolf County. If word gets out that we are short of warriors, I am sure that those jealous and old Alphas will have made an attempt to attack us. All for what? The strongest pack. It
Rejected and Torn between Alphas CHAPTER 135: Call for help
Callista’s POVMoonlight spilled across the fancy balcony of the alpha’s house, turning my long dress into something sparkly. I paced back and forth, pondering the decisions to make, my heart pounding gently against my ribs. Torn between two alphas. I have to choose between the two, and at the same time I have to think about the fate of the Midnight Mirage pack, my father’s pack, which I have upheld for the past few years. Pushing their flaws and mistakes aside and considering their positive side. On one side, there was Tristan Logan, the strong and ruthless Alpha, or, let me say, a beta, who offered me safety when I came into this pack. He gave me a haven after the betrayal I suffered back at the Wolfsong Dominion Pack. Maya, my wolf, whined deep within me; she wanted and craved for him every day and night. Tristan is a good man and a worthy leader. Before the storm, his earthy scent calmed my anxieties—a steady presence I craved then. But a tiny flicker of something was missing—a s
