All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Accepted: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ZaneI remember vividly the moment Amanda stormed into my pack territory with a fire in her eyes that could rival the sun's intensity. Her presence alone sent a shiver down my spine, a foreboding sense of impending doom creeping over me. I knew, deep down, that she was furious with me, and whatever anger she harbored was not to be taken lightly. It was as if a storm cloud had descended upon us, and I was the unfortunate target of its wrath.As the days passed, I couldn't shake the feeling of impending confrontation. Every rustle of the leaves, every distant sound, seemed to herald her return and when she did come back, I knew it was only a matter of time before she sought me out. I could almost feel the weight of her gaze, burning into me with unrelenting fury. It was as if she had a score to settle, and I was the unwilling participant in her twisted game of vengeance.“What have I done?” I muttered.I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder, expecting her to leap out from th

Amanda “Don’t leave, I want to see you.” I said to him,I didn’t need to explain any further even as understanding dawned on him. Together, we made our way towards the small private hall where we couldn’t be disturbed."Why, Marcus?" I demanded, my voice laced with frustration and confusion. "Why didn't you go through with it? We had a plan, and you backed out at the last moment. Do you realize what this means for us?"Marcus, ever confident, closed the distance between us with measured steps. His gaze bore into mine, unwavering despite my intense scrutiny. I could feel his hands, warm and steady, as they found their way around my waist, a gesture that both comforted and unsettled me."Amanda," he began, his voice low and tinged with a hint of defiance, "I did what I thought was best for both of us."I couldn't hide my disbelief. "Protecting me? Is that what you call it?" I retorted, my tone sharp. "By not following through with our plan, you've put us at risk. Zane won't take this

Amanda As I paced back and forth in the alpha's den, my mind buzzed with a flurry of thoughts, each one more tumultuous than the last. The urgency of finding Alex pulsed through me like a drumbeat, driving me to the brink of impatience. How could he have disappeared without a trace? Was there something more profound at play here, something sinister lurking beneath the surface?With each step, I scanned the room, my eyes darting from one corner to the next, searching for any clue that might shed light on his sudden disappearance. The scent of his presence lingered in the air, a faint whisper of familiarity that taunted me with its elusiveness."Any sign of him yet?" I asked, my voice laced with frustration, as I turned to face one of my pack members who had just returned from a scouting mission.The pack members shook their heads, their expressions grim. "Nothing. We've combed through the woods, but there's no trace of him anywhere."I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms

ZaneAs I held court with my pack members, the air was thick with anticipation and loyalty. We gathered in the heart of our territory, surrounded by towering trees and the whispers of the forest. My position as alpha demanded respect, and every member of my pack knew it. I sat upon a rough-hewn throne of moss-covered stone, my gaze sweeping over those gathered before me.Suddenly, amidst the murmurs of conversation, one of my guards burst into the clearing, his chest heaving with exertion. His eyes found mine, and he strode forward with purpose, stopping before me with a deep bow."What news?" I demanded, my voice low and commanding.The guard straightened, his expression grave. "Alpha Zane, the beast we unleashed into the forest has succeeded. Amanda and her pack members have been chased out, unable to rescue their Beta, Alex."A thrill shot through me at the news, and I couldn't help but smile wickedly. "Excellent," I murmured, the words dripping with satisfaction. "Bring him to me

Amanda As I sat with the other elders of my pack, the weight of responsibility pressing down on my shoulders, I watched as Beatrice approached. Her expression was serious, and I could tell she had news. "Amanda," she said, her voice low but urgent. "The process of extracting our spy, Sarah, from Zane's pack is underway. Soon, she will be here."Relief flooded through me at the news. Sarah had been deep undercover in Zane's pack for months, gathering crucial information for us. Knowing that she would soon be back with us was a weight off my mind. "Thank you, Beatrice," I said, gratitude evident in my tone. "That's excellent news."But even as I spoke, another worry nagged at the back of my mind. "Has there been any word from Alex?" I asked, my voice betraying my concern. Alex had been missing for days now, and every passing hour only deepened my anxiety.Beatrice's expression softened slightly, but it was clear she had no good news to share on that front. "I'm sorry, Amanda," she s
