All Chapters of Vengeance of The Rejected Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POV There was nothing else left for Ace, Lucas, and I to discuss after the alpha himself declared that we were surrendering for now. Even in Ace's wolf form, he was still considerate enough to let us take our path away from the Crimson Moon Pack without having someone ambushing us. Lucas was walking at a slow pace, but he was still the one who took the lead. I bet that he's ashamed to face me right now, especially not with his injured body, and for retreating like he had no other trait besides cowardice. "We're going back to Leo? Wouldn't he be enraged if he saw you alive and realized that I fooled him into believing that you were really dead?" I asked out of anxiety, troubled that the beta would be far worse dealing with than Ace. The alpha shrugged his shoulders, along with a shake of his head. "I can't tell. Leo is unpredictable, and the way he thinks is kind of psychotic, if you

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI never imagined that Siege would actually try to defend Stella in front of me, as if he were really in love with her. The expression on the alpha's eyes may seem quite lifeless, but for me, it showed how angry he was even though he wasn't frowning.Each and every single footstep of the alpha made me shiver as he came closer to me. He held my wrists, which were gripping tightly on Stella's hair, and then he forced me to let her go as he tightened his hold on mine. I couldn't help but shout out loud because of how painfully he held me, as if he had the intention of breaking my bones."Why are you being like this, Siege?" I asked him, hoping that I'd at least get the sympathy of his wolf lurking inside his body, but it was easier said than done. "Did you make him drink some sort of poison? For him to only look at you, fall for you, and be completely devoted to you, Stella?" I questioned her with my eyes widening, threatening her to tell me the truth as soon as

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAbout an hour or two has already passed. Lucas recovered from all the injuries he received after getting beaten up by those wolves, where he barely survived. There were no changes until now. The warriors were still lurking around the mansion, and we still haven't made a decision whether to let them be or if we should take vengeance for the sake of those who died without attaining justice."I'll be the first one to go out. If they strike me, then we'll all fight them. If they can be convinced to stop whatever they started, then let's let them go." Lucas finally shared his plan. "Protect Celestina at all costs. She can't die in this realm; it would be a huge mess if Celestina dies here," he added, looking at me with a stern gaze.Ice showed me his hand, and I glanced at it, confused. "Aren't you going to hold my hand again like you used to? This might be the first and last chance that I can hold your hand; won't you let me?" he said, his voice full of affection

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIt has been half an hour since we stayed at the bar. I was the only one who remained sane; Beta Kristoffer, Lucas, Leo, and Ice were all drunk now. They kept on blabbering things that I could barely understand.Leo tried to trap me in his arms, and that alone was enough to make me think that he really was interested in Celestina. Meanwhile, Ice was quiet in the corner and had his forehead banging on the table. Lucas kept on grinning while pointing through mid-air, which caused them to glance at where he was pointing even though there was nothing to be seen because it was only the wall there.Beta Kristoffer didn't look like he was drunk, but I could notice the slight changes in his actions. I wanted to take him to bed, but I was worried that the rest of them might get back to their senses and defeat the spirit of alcohol. I doubt that they wouldn't do anything to me if they saw that I'm trying to dominate Beta Kristoffer in bed."Let's go back to the Crimson

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI haven't had a proper sleep for the entire night that I was staying together with Beta Kristoffer. I don't know if it's because this was the first time in Celestina's life to sleep together with a man, or if it's solely because I actually refuse this to happen from the depths of my heart. Although Beta Kristoffer wasn't really beside me in bed, I still couldn't be comfortable, even if he had already told me countless times that I shouldn't mind his presence under the same roof."You have to sleep, Celeste." Beta Kristoffer came into his room, the one where I'm staying. The beta gave me his permission to let me stay in his room while he was in the living room. "Is there something running through your mind for you to be that bothered to go have a good night's sleep?"A faint smile curled on my lips at the same time that I moved my body to sit on the corner of the bed, letting my feet reach the ground. "I've been thinking of a way that can better convince Alpha
