All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Accepted: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Amanda As I walked through my pack in the middle of the night, the silence was eerie. It was a stark contrast to the bustling activity that typically characterized the afternoons in our community. The moonlight cast eerie shadows, and the stillness made every step I took seem louder than it should have been. Sitting down on a huge boulder, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled over me like a heavy blanket.Then, out of nowhere, a brilliant flash of light pierced the darkness a few meters ahead of me. My heart leaped into my throat, and adrenaline surged through my veins. As the Alpha of the pack, it was my duty to investigate any potential threats to our safety. With cautious steps, I made my way towards the source of the light, my senses on high alert.As I drew closer, the acrid scent of smoke assaulted my nostrils, and my worst fears were realized. Before me lay the devastating sight of flames licking hungrily at the buildings that housed my pack. Panic gripped m

Amanda I stood by the window of my office, the cold morning light streaming through the glass as I looked out over the devastated landscape of our pack's territory. The charred remains of homes and the skeletal frames of trees, still smoldering, were a stark reminder of the recent attack. My fists clenched at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I fought to control the rage bubbling within me. The door creaked open behind me, and I turned to see Alex, my Beta, standing there with a grim expression on his face."Bring him in," I ordered, my voice cold and unyielding. Alex nodded and disappeared down the hallway, his heavy footsteps echoing off the stone walls. Moments later, he returned, flanked by two of our strongest guards. Between them, they dragged the man who had been captured at the scene of the fire. His clothes were singed, and he reeked of smoke and fear. The sight of him made my blood boil even more.The guards threw him to the floor in front of me, and he landed with a

AmandaI was standing in the center of our pack's meeting hall, a sense of unease gnawing at my insides like a persistent itch. The air felt thick, almost suffocating, as if it carried an invisible weight. This wasn’t just the typical tension of a gathering; it was something more, something... wrong. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but the sensation was undeniable. A strange, almost electric pulse seemed to radiate from within me, growing stronger with each passing moment."Everyone, gather around!" I commanded, my voice echoing through the hall. Alex swiftly moved to execute my orders, his sharp eyes scanning the room as he beckoned our pack members to form a circle around me. The urgency in my voice must have communicated the gravity of the situation because no one hesitated. The shuffling of feet and murmurs of confusion filled the space as they assembled."Amanda, what’s going on?" he asked quietly, his brows furrowing in concern. He was always attuned to my moods, sensing

Amanda The morning light streamed through the high windows of my office, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. Despite the beautiful day outside, a storm brewed within me, fueled by the anger that had been simmering since Zane's infiltration into our pack. The audacity of that man to think he could sneak in without consequences! I clenched my fists, my nails digging into the palm of my hand as I paced back and forth."How on earth did this happen?" I muttered under my breath, not for the first time. Beatrice, stood quietly at the side, her eyes watching me with a mix of concern and readiness. I stopped pacing and turned to her sharply. "Beatrice, I want every guard who was on duty at the time of Zane's intrusion brought to me. Now."Beatrice nodded, her expression resolute. "I'll have them here immediately, Amanda," she said, her voice steady. She turned and left the room, her footsteps echoing down the corridor as she went to carry out my orders.I resumed my pacin

ZaneThe night was quiet, the kind of silence that feels almost tangible, wrapping around everything in a suffocating embrace. I lay there in the darkness, the rhythmic sound of my own breathing the only thing breaking the stillness. Sleep was elusive, as it often was these days. Ever since Amanda took Tiana, my mind had been a constant whirlpool of worry and anger. Tonight was no different, and as I tossed and turned, I felt the weight of my thoughts pressing down on me like a lead blanket.Just as I felt myself beginning to drift off, a sudden thought hit me like a bolt of lightning. My eyes snapped open, my heart pounding in my chest. It was a realization so sharp and clear, it cut through the fog of exhaustion that had clouded my mind for days. Amanda was never going to release Tiana willingly. The hatred she held for me ran too deep, the grudges too old and entrenched. There was only one way this was going to end. I had to rescue Tiana myself.I swung my legs over the side of the
