All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Accepted: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

AlexI walked through the dense forest, my footsteps barely making a sound on the carpet of fallen leaves. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, mingling with the faint aroma of the nearby river. My mind, however, was far from the tranquility around me. Amanda's face kept flashing before my eyes, her bright smile replaced by a look of terror. I couldn't shake the image of her being held captive by Zane, his cruel eyes and twisted grin haunting my thoughts. The pack was bustling with activity, everyone preparing for the upcoming full moon, but my focus remained solely on rescuing Amanda.I paused near a clearing, watching as a few members of the pack sparred in their wolf forms. "Alex, you look like you've seen a ghost," Marcus called out, shifting back into his human form. His tone was light, but there was concern in his eyes. "What's going on?""It's Amanda," I replied, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "We need to get her out of Zane's clutches before i

ZaneAs I sat within my chambers, the flickering candlelight casting wavering shadows on the stone walls, I found my thoughts inevitably drifting to Amanda. She was in my custody, a mere floor below, locked away in the dungeon's damp and unforgiving confines. The room around me, though more comfortable than hers, felt equally oppressive under the weight of my thoughts. I knew a time would come when I would have to release her. Amanda's people were resourceful and determined. Sooner or later, they would come for her, and when that happened, there would be little I could do to stop them.I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair as I replayed our conversations in my mind. Amanda had been defiant, her spirit unbroken despite the circumstances. "You can't keep me here forever, Zane," she'd said, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and determination. "My people will come for me. They'll find a way, and when they do, you'll regret ever taking me."Her words echoed in my min

AlexAs the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an eerie glow over the forest, I gathered my men in the clearing just outside our camp. The anticipation was palpable, each warrior's face a mask of grim determination. We had trained for weeks for this moment, honing our skills and sharpening our blades. Our target: Zane's pack, the ruthless wolves who had taken our Alpha, Amanda. There was a burning fire in my chest, a need for vengeance that mirrored the resolve I saw in the eyes of my comrades. I knew we couldn't lose. Not tonight. Not when Amanda's life hung in the balance."Alright, listen up," I barked, drawing everyone's attention. "Tonight, we will take the fight to them. We fight for Amanda. We fight for our pack. We fight to end Zane's reign of terror once and for all. No one holds back. We move as one, strike hard, and don't stop until every last one of them is down."A murmur of agreement rippled through the group. I looked each of them in the eye, seeing the flicker of sh

ZaneI paced the dimly lit corridor, the flickering lights casting eerie shadows on the cold stone walls. The damp air clung to my skin, mixing with the rising anger boiling inside me. I had just received the news—Amanda had escaped. My jaw clenched involuntarily as I spun around to face the guard who had delivered the message."What do you mean she's gone?" I demanded, my voice echoing through the narrow passage. The guard, a young man with fear etched across his face, stammered as he tried to explain."I-I don't know how it happened, sir. We found the cell empty this morning. The lock was still in place, but she... she just wasn't there."I grabbed him by the collar, pulling him close enough to see the panic in his eyes. "You think I care about your excuses? Find her! Now! Mobilize everyone. I want every inch of this place searched, top to bottom. She couldn't have gone far."Releasing him, I watched as he scurried away, shouting orders to the other guards. I turned to my lieutenant

AlexI knew the moment had arrived. The time to confront my enemy, Zane, was upon me. As I stood in the dimly lit corridor, the walls lined with the opulent yet oppressive decor of the castle, I took a deep breath. My hands moved with practiced precision, checking my rifle one last time. The cold metal felt reassuring under my fingers, a stark contrast to the turmoil churning inside me. Each click and snap as I inspected the weapon seemed to echo Amanda's name in my mind, a constant reminder of why I was here."Amanda, this is for you," I whispered to myself, the words a solemn vow. She had been more than a friend; she was my anchor, my confidante, and Zane had taken her from me. The thought of her lifeless body, the way her bright eyes had dulled in that final moment, fueled my resolve. I couldn't let her death go unavenged. Every step I took towards the throne room was a step closer to justice.The corridor seemed endless, every shadow a potential threat. I could almost hear Amanda'
