All Chapters of Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

JoyeI sat silently in the comfort of my room, my hands trembling and my eyes wearing themselves out in tears. Ever since the end of the party, Kaelan hasn't been himself. Just like before, he had grown cold, and while I could manage this attitude of his before, being pregnant made my emotions a lot more difficult to contain. It was past midnight now, and he wasn't back home yet. I had tried contacting him, but he didn't answer his calls. I wanted to blame it on work, but I knew work couldn't keep him out till this time. He was a busy man, juggling the work of being the king and handling the company weren't easy at all. But he has never been away this late before, not while we were on good terms.It wasn't as if we were fighting or anything, Kaelan had suddenly changed for no reason once more, and I had a feeling it had something to do with the discussion he had with Christopher. I wasn't sure, so I didn't point fingers, however my guts insisted that the man must have said something

JoyeThe last few days have been nothing short of torturous, but I still found a way to cope. After our last fight, Kaelan barely came home at all. And when he did, he never came to our bedroom. People around the mansion were already beginning to notice that we weren't on the best terms, and rumors have already begun to fly around. I didn't mind the rumors, instead of dwelling on what other people say, I chose to find a hobby to keep myself busy for a while. Aside from my maids, I had nobody else to speak to around here. Mother had returned to Nightfall Pack once again. She said something about swearing to serve them, and although I tried persuading her, she remained adamant. She was the only person who had been keeping me sane throughout all this drama with Kaelan. Now that she was gone, I felt alone once more. Although Aiden came around to keep me company every once in a while, he wasn't always around either. He spent most of his time assisting Kaelan, and the two of them spent the

KaelanIt's been two days now, and Joey was yet to wake. Throughout the past two days, I had done nothing but worry. Somehow I couldn't help but feel like everything that happened was my fault. If I has been there for her maybe she might not have lost herself. She was pregnant, yet I chose to neglect her without thinking of the effects of my actions. Not only have I failed her as a husband, I have also failed at being her king. We swore to be by each other's side through all hard times, but it has become clear that I was incapable of holding up my own part of the vow. Joye has been trying her best to build a connection between the two of us, but I was doing the complete opposite. Each time she seemed to be making progress, I always came in and quenched the little bit of flames she had managed to light up. And it was all because I feared that she might bring havoc to the land. I wanted to convince myself that I was giving her space just so I could supervise if her presence had broug

Kaelan I had already expected the reply, but it hurt even more when the maid announced her rejection. Once again I was spending dinner alone, and it was all thanks to me being unnecessarily cruel to the woman I loved. Not only would dinner be a long and quiet one, I was also going to spend the night alone. I immediately lost my appetite and left the dinner table almost immediately. I didn't feel like eating anymore, I was hungry a few minutes ago, but not anymore. Aiden came after me the moment I left the table just like I'd suspected. He's been the only one who had been keeping me sane at the moment. He never left my side for once during the day. He tried engaging me in serious discussions and activities to help me steer away from the whole Joye situation. And although it worked most of the time, I was getting used to his technique, and its effect was beginning to wear off very quickly. I commended his efforts, but really, the only person who could possibly save me from myself rig

Kaelan I should be home right now seated by Joye's side, but instead I found my way to the local bar, where I got myself high on alcohol.Empty bottles of beer stacked up on my table, and despite the dizzy feeling in my head, I still ordered for more. I just couldn't bear staying at the mansion and watching Joye in that condition. She didn't deserve it, and I just couldn't help but blame myself for everything. If I hadn't taken that book away from where it used to be, none of this would have happened. But because of my selfishness, not only was Joye in a critical condition, she had also lost her baby. I wanted to scream out in rage, but each time it felt like my emotions were going out of control, I drowned them with alcohol. It was the only thing that could probably keep me from going insane right now. "Shouldn't you stop? You won't be able to drive home in this condition." A feminine voice advised. My vision was blurry, but I could still make out the features of her body and fa
