All Chapters of The Rejected Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~Miranda Pov~I couldn't believe what had just happened. My pack, the black bird wolves, had been attacked by the Moon Chaser pack. We had been caught off guard, and we suffered heavy losses. As the Alpha, I couldn't let this slide. I needed to know why they had attacked us, and I needed to take revenge.I called for a meeting with my most trusted members. We gathered in the pack's council room, and I could feel the anger and tension in the air. I took a deep breath and spoke. "We have been attacked by the Moon Chaser pack. They caught us off guard and took us by surprise. We have suffered heavy losses, and I want to know why they did this."The room was silent for a few seconds, and then my Beta, Thomas, spoke up. "Maybe they have started seeing us as a threat to them," he said. "We have been growing in power, and they saw us as a threat to their dominance."I nodded thoughtfully, considering his words. It was possible. But I wasn't convinced. "But we've not had any conflicts with th

~Sophia Pov~I entered the bathroom and tried to turn on the shower, but nothing happened. I realized that there was no water coming out. I didn't want to disturb Derick, who was on an important call, so I decided to use one of the bathrooms downstairs. After taking a quick shower, I wrapped myself up with a towel and started drying my hair.As I was flipping my hair, my leg slipped, and I almost fell. Suddenly, I felt someone holding me from behind. I turned and saw Lucas, who had caught me before I could fall. I let out a scream and quickly rushed to my room, feeling embarrassed.After a few minutes, there was a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Derick, who looked panicked. Lucas had told him what happened to me. My cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and I told Derick that I was fine. He then asked me to go downstairs for dinner, and I followed him.At dinner, I couldn't look Lucas in the eye. He seemed different, and I wasn't sure what to make of it. During the meal, he pass

Derick called for pack meeting, we'll gathered when the silence was deafening as Derick and Jessica continued to stare at each other, their expressions tense. I could feel the tension building up between them, and I knew that this was not going to end well.Suddenly, Derick turned to me and asked what I thought. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. On the one hand, I knew that we needed to be careful, especially after what had happened with Lucas. On the other hand, I couldn't ignore the fact that Mia was in need of help, and she was one of us after all."I...I don't know," I stammered. "I mean, I understand why you're hesitant, Derick. But at the same time, Mia needs our help. She's one of us, and we shouldn't turn our backs on her."Derick sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair. "I know," he said finally. "But we can't just blindly trust anyone, especially after what happened with Lucas. We need to be cautious and make sure that we're not putting ourselves in dan

As I watched Derick slowly regain consciousness, my heart felt like it was about to burst with relief. After all that had happened, seeing him alive and breathing felt like a miracle."Derick!" I exclaimed, rushing to his side.He looked up at me with a weak smile. "Sophia," he said hoarsely.I helped him sit up, holding his hand tightly as he struggled to catch his breath."I'm sorry," he said, looking at me with regret in his eyes. "I should have listened to you about Mia. I never thought she would betray us like that. I saw her running away with the black bird wolves.""It's okay," I replied, trying to comfort him. "We'll deal with it later. Right now, you need to rest."But even as I spoke those words, I knew that things were far from over. Derick and I had a bond now, one that had been forged by the thunderstorm and the realization that we were true mates. But I wasn't ready to accept that bond, not after everything that had happened.I remembered the pain of betrayal, the hurt o

Amanda was seething with anger as she stormed into Miranda's private chambers, interrupting the lavish pampering session the Alpha was receiving. The scent of rose petals and lavender filled the air, but Amanda barely registered it as she confronted Miranda who had imprisoned her daughter."What do you want, Amanda?" Miranda sneered, her eyes narrowing."I want my daughter back," Amanda spat, her fists clenched at her sides. "Why have you locked her up? What crime did she commit?"Miranda's lips twisted into a cruel smile. "Your daughter set free her husband, Blake. She broke pack law and must face the consequences."Amanda's eyes widened in shock. "Blake? But he's dead!"Miranda shrugged. "He's not dead, just imprisoned. And your daughter helped him escape."Amanda's heart sank. She had no idea that Leah was involved in Blake's escape. But she couldn't just stand by and let her daughter suffer for it. "Please, Miranda, I beg of you. Set her free. She's just a young girl who made a mi
