All Chapters of The Rejected Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Inside Derick's office, I voiced my thoughts to him, questioning the reason behind Lucas's sudden appearance after betraying the pack. Derick pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing in deep thought. "Perhaps Miranda sent him," he speculated, but I quickly interjected, reminding Derick of Blake's accusations from the previous day. "Blake Storm accused you of kidnapping Miranda, remember? Maybe Lucas suspects us of the same," I suggested.Derick's expression hardened, his eyes burning with anger. He dismissed their accusations with a dismissive wave of his hand. "I don't give a damn about their baseless accusations or what they think," he declared. "All I know is that if I ever lay eyes on Lucas again, he won't escape unscathed."Just as the tension in the room peaked, my phone chimed, signaling a new text message. I quickly retrieved it and my eyes widened as I read the contents. It was the address of Mr. Sylvester's whereabouts, a lead I had been desperately searching for. Without

~Mia Pov~I was filled with a mix of shock and anger as Blake pushed me away, demanding that I find Miranda for him. His words stung, reminding me of the betrayal that had brought us to this point. But before I could respond, a sense of unease washed over me, drawing my attention to something outside.Curiosity and caution led me to investigate, and as I peered through the window, my eyes widened in recognition. Lucas, the very person I had been searching for, sat inside a car, ready to drive away. Without hesitation, I jumped into my own vehicle and discreetly followed him from a distance, determined to uncover his motives.To my surprise, Lucas headed towards Miranda's mansion. Questions raced through my mind. Why was he going there? What did he have to do with Miranda? My heart pounded as I contemplated the possibilities.Lucas noticed my presence, stopped his car and approached my car, tapping on the window with a smirk on his face. I rolled down the window, feeling a mix of antic

Derick's eyes gleamed with a mix of curiosity and vengeance as he listened to my words. He pondered the possibility of turning Leah against Blake, but I cautioned him against it. "Blake is powerful, Derick," I reminded him. "Leah alone wouldn't be able to stand against him. Besides, I still have unfinished business with her mother, Amanda. I want to see her pay for what she did to my parents."Derick nodded in understanding, his jaw clenched. "You're right, Sophia. Killing Blake alone won't be enough. We need to make him suffer, to strip away everything he holds dear."I leaned closer to Derick, a glint of mischief in my eyes. "The blood moon is approaching," I whispered. "During that time, the power of the werewolves is at its peak. Desires and wishes are amplified. What if we use that to our advantage?"Derick's eyebrows furrowed as he considered my suggestion. "How do you propose we do that?" he asked, intrigued.A mischievous smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "I know a man i

We gave Professor two rooms inside the mansion to use as his lab, and Derick took charge of acquiring all the equipment and supplies he needed. The mansion transformed into one of the largest and most advanced labs in the world, ready for Professor to commence his work. Time was of the essence, as the blood moon loomed only ten days away.Derick's phone interrupted our preparations with a call from the police. They informed him that Blake had been summoned for questioning but denied any involvement in the incidents. Despite their efforts, the police were still searching for concrete evidence. Derick mentioned that Blake would never admit to his crimes, even if presented with irrefutable proof. With that in mind, Derick decided to request the closure of the case regarding his burned-down company.I questioned Derick's decision, wondering why he would choose to let Blake off the hook. He explained that as a werewolf, Blake would never allow himself to be held captive by humans. Trying t

With the departure of the officers, Professor hurriedly entered the living room, beckoning Derick and me to follow him. Intrigued by his urgency, we hastened into the lab, anticipation bubbling within us. Professor held a vial containing the completed chemical, carefully cradling it in his hands.Drawing closer to where Anita's lifeless body lay, Professor motioned for us to observe. With a delicate touch, he sprinkled the chemical onto her form, and to our astonishment, Anita's corpse began to vibrate. Her eyes fluttered open, sending a shiver down our spines. Fear gripped our hearts as we questioned whether the chemical had awakened her. However, Professor reassured us, explaining that this was merely a temporary effect.In a matter of seconds, Anita's eyes closed once again, and her body settled into a state of tranquility. To our astonishment, her skin started to peel away, disintegrating into dust that gently settled upon the floor. Professor removed his experimental glasses, his
