All Chapters of Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rygan’s POV I should have stayed away. The first time I tasted Elise’s body, I felt her alluring skin against mine, scented because of my rut. I took it as just my wolf reacting to any female, repeating it like a mantra in my head. Kyren had forced many females onto me before, so it had to have meant nothing. But it was no mistake the second I took her to bed in that abandoned cabin. Something changed. Elise felt perfect in my arms; my wolf was hungry and yearned for more of her; and a sinister yet feral part of me was satisfied that I was the one who took her virginity and that I was the only one who tasted her skin and virgin hole first. But it was all a mistake, it had to be, especially when I woke and remembered the promise that my family made to Alvira's parents, who helped my father, with a promise to join our house, a betrothal to have Alvira as my future mate. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, knowing that I had to avoid her. I couldn’t bear the crestfallen loo

The training grounds for the troops were crowded with males that surrounded the entire ring. Elise could not help but feel intrigued as she walked closer, finding a part to squeeze through as she noticed who stood on the ring. Kaide and Taz were both shirtless; Taz's muscles were hard and thick; his left arm was covered with a black band; and he had two striped tattoos. Elise had noticed that it was on all the males' left arm; one band meant you were delta, two bands were beta, and three bands were alpha, like the one she saw on Rygan's body. She hated that even at this moment that she thought of Rygan's ravishing sculpted body right now, shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts. “Don’t think about it,” she scolded herself as her hand tightened on the railing around the ring to focus on them. Kaide's body was more lean-muscled, but his body was not lacking in any way, just less jacked than Taz's. A blush crept on Elise's face when she looked up to see Kaide staring at h

Meanwhile, after Kyren had found out about their escape from his prison, he was filled with so much rage that everyone walked on eggshells back at the Darknight pack, looking for ways to appease their alpha king, Kyren, who had been in a maddening mood for days with no end. Even now, as he downed another bottle of wine and had sex with a female without mercy, her body slammed against the wall, his thrusts so barbaric that they pushed against her, her hips bent as Kyren's hard cock moved inside her, his grip hard on her nape. There was no mercy or softness in the sex, only anger and a harsh sex drive. He put his fingers into her mouth to keep the female quiet as his cock stroked deeper into her. “Ugh..hmm Ngh-agh!” The female cried out as Kyren pushed deeper, thrusting animalistically into her. There was a startling knock at the door, but Kyren made no move to stop as his beta guard was let in. The beta knew it was a death sentence to look at his alpha, who was deeply engaged

Elise felt like vanishing when Kaide held back her hand as she tried to enter her room—so much for dealing with it alone. “What’s wrong? What happened?” Kaide asked Elise, his jaws squared in, filled with worry and alertness as he caressed Elise's face. But Elise shook her head. “Nothing, nothing at all,” she said. “You don’t need to worry about it, please,” she said, and Kaide knew she was asking him to let it go. His hands dropped from her soft cheeks, taking a step back to lengthen the space, which he had noticed was far too small because of them. “What's in your hand?” Elise asked, her gaze lowered to what Kaide was holding in his hands. Elise then looked back when she heard the sounds of someone coming down the steps. And for a moment, there was noticeable panic on her face that Kaide noticed, but before he could ask, Elise had pushed him into her room, closing the door in haste. “Sorry about that; what were you saying?” She asked, forcing a smile that was almost co

ELISE POV “Is it Rygan who marked you, Elise?” Kaide's dark voice asked sternly. It felt like the ground under my feet had turned unsteady with the strength leaving my legs. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Kaide had found out I was marked by Rygan, a sign of shame without a mate to claim me. Was he going to see me as a shameless, dirty secret of his alpha now? Was he going to believe that I was shameless enough to be marked but not mated to a male? Now that I’m left with only a half-bond, I could do nothing but hide. “Elise?” I heard his voice break through the dark void of my thoughts as my eyes glazed over to his now-worrying ones. My vision is blurry with tears. “Kaide.” I tried to talk, but I stuttered as I pushed him away from me, my hands unconsciously touching my nape as I tried to stop myself from trembling. "Yes, it’s Rygan's mark; you must see me as a pathetic person now,” I said softly, not having the courage to look at Kaide. “But he is betrothed to be mated
