Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

—Jeremy— The doctor comes in to check in on Elijah. "You're out of the woods for now, but you still have to get some rest and take it easy, your body has been through a lot. And even though you're a shifter, it's going to take you a while before you're back to full strength." The doctor tells Elijah and the look on his face says he doesn't like that news one bit. "And how long is a while doc? I need to get out of this damn bed." He asks the doctor. "There's no need to answer that doctor." Elena interrupts the doctor before he can say anything. "Elena…" Elijah tries to talk to her but she doesn't listen. "No Elijah, you don't get to walk over me on this one. You almost died, did you hear me because I don't think that it has actually sunk that you almost died. We almost lost you. And if I hadn't gotten here in time you would have…" She tells him and tears start streaming down her face as she tries to compose herself.

—Jeremy— I wake up to a white light shining in my eye and have a hard time focusing. When my eyes finally focus, I can see that the white light is one of the overseas lamps in the temporary hospital wing in the warehouse. I try to get up only you realize that I'm strapped down to the bed again, for the second time in less than twenty four hours. "Look who's awake." I hear Elijah's voice from beside me and then turn to look at him. "Welcome back roomie." He tells me with a smirk on his face. "I take it by that shit eating grin on your face that this was your doing?" I asked him. "Oh, I had nothing to do with this, as per doctor's orders I'm on bed rest." He tells me still with that smile on his face. Then who did this? Don't tell me it was that doctor, because I will rip his throat out once I'm out of here." I growl and try to get out of my restraints but they're not even budging. "Don't waste your time trying to get out of the restraints, they're spel

—Killian— Eric goes up to Will's room to get Katharina and they both come down the stairs a few minutes later and we all converge in the dining room. "How's Will?" Lachlan and Kate ask Katharina at the same time. "He's good, he just fell back asleep before Eric came to get me." She tells them. "Thank's for looking after him these past few days, you've been a huge help." Kate tells her. "It's no problem, I'm used to it. He reminds me of my little sister." Katharina says and Immediately her Lena and Kate exchange a look that I don't understand. It's probably because the anniversary of our baby's death is close and the mention of children is hitting a little too close to home for Lena. I know we need to talk about it, it's the elephant in the room that we've been circling. And for us to start our new lives we need to put the past to rest. But that's a conversation that me and Lena need to have in private, for now it's time to come up with a plan. "O

—Jeho Kelly— I wake up with a pounding headache, I try to open my eyes but I can't, there's a loud ringing in my ears. Fuck I shouldn't have stayed out late last night with the guys. I knew I would regret it, but they made fun of me that I wasn't the same old Jeho anymore, that I was now stuff and uptight just because I had started my official training to become the next alpha of our pack and I had also taken over some minor duties from my father the current Alpha of our pack. Up until a year ago, I was the life of the party, the one everyone wanted to hang out with. People envied me and wanted to be me but then last year, my father had enough of me fooling around and tarnishing his reputation that he laid down an ultimatum. Either I stepped up and started fulfilling my duties as the next Alpha of the pack or he would choose someone else to rule when he was gone. And I knew my father, he meant every word that he said, it didn't matter that I was his son, he would pass me o

—Lena— I dreaded the walk back to our room, but I knew it was something I had to do. I couldn't let someone else take care of Mari's body, she was my sister and no matter what she did I loved her so it had to be me. Killian is two steps behind me, I know he wants to talk to me and ask me how I feel about everything that has been going on but I can't do that right now. If I start thinking about all the revelations of the day, I'll surely break down and I can't afford to do that now. So I'm taking it one step at a time and focusing on one problem at a time and what I can solve. And taking care of Mari's body is a problem that I can fix. I'm about to open the room door when Killian steps in front of me and stops me. "Are you sure about this Mi Lena?" He asks and I can see and feel his genuine concern and as much as I'd like to break down in his arms, I can't afford to do that right now, so I lie. "I'm fine Killian, truly."
