All Chapters of Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Elise's POV Pregnant; Alvira is pregnant. It all felt like a sick joke when she said those words. I felt something twisted rise in me as my gut clenched, but I forced the bile back down. Even as I tried to pinch the nerve between my hands to make me feel something, I still felt numbing regret all over my body. The cheers around the room erupted in celebration of her announcement loud enough that it made me feel deaf from it. It Felt like I was trapped in time as the cheers reduced to whine noise, and for a second my gaze zeroed in on Rygan then to Alvira who grin widens from the crowd. Not only did she invite me to the rites ball to be seen as the villain who pushed her, she called to announce her pregnancy and show that she had really won. She had everything I wanted. And I was nothing compared to her. Nothing. I tried to smile, but I just couldn’t, nor could I meet the gaze of pity on my friends that surrounded me. My hands were bound into fists, digging into my skin, b

(Hours before the search) He should have gone back to her, he should have listened to his wolf, but right then he was too hurt, too angry with Alvira, and with himself. So Rygan did not bother going back into the party after his fight with Elise, instead making a straight exit to the main door. He could hardly concentrate, especially after what had just transpired between him and Elise. He bolted out of the room as his wolf still whined to go back to Elise. It wasn’t long until he heard the sound of fast feet and someone following him. The scent was presumably owned by Alvira. “Gods, Rygan, will you please stop for a second?!” She yelled at him. She didn’t know what she had cost him or what a mess his life was, all for one night with her that he couldn't even recall fully or how she got there instead of Elise. They ended up walking by the fountainhead beside the moonhouse steps, and Rygan finally turned to look at her. Alvira, on the other hand, looked angry.

The two assassins could only watch as they were slowly surrounded by both blood moon wolves and their beta commanders. “It’s over; you couldn’t deceive us; you think that you’d confuse us with the scent that you took to confuse us?” Taz says, flexing his claws and fangs, ready to attack the beta assassins. “Leave, mutts, and go back crying to your alpha; she is ours,” one of the assassin males spoke. Kaide snarls, his anger evident in it. His eyes are a blast of ice blue, ready to kill. “You dared enter our territory and take one of our own! And you still dare to speak; I should rip your head out from where you stand,” Kaide mutters. Taz has seen Kaide angry only a handful of times because the beta hardly loses his cool, but he would have needed to have seen him so angry. Taz knew because him and Rygan were always meant to be the hot headed one, while Kaide was the one who made plans and kept them in check. But right now Kaide was pissed. None of them knew why Kaides wolf

Elise's POV The world assaulted me in waves. First, a searing pain jolted through my skull like a boulder had been tossed against it. My eyes remained stubbornly shut, gritty and dry. Panic clawed at my throat as I tried to remember where I was. Then, a familiar scent, warm and musky, washed over me, sending a wave of relief crashing through my terror. It was Rygan. My body, pleasantly warm under a sheet, felt safe nestled against his powerful frame. Opening my eyes, I took in the unfamiliar room. Relief morphed into confusion. No sight of humans, no screams, no fight. Had it all been a nightmare? Had I dreamt it all? The kidnapping and everything? No, that couldn’t be, not when the memories were coming in slowly, like flashes. “Fuck,” I muttered, taking his hands slowly off my body. I looked down to see marks on my thighs, figuring out the loud gasp that was about to escape my lips. I didn't want to ask him, not after this huge mistake I’ve made yet again. I wanted to cur

“We need to talk.” his tone blared with so much power . “We have nothing to talk about," Elise argued. She tried to control the incessant pace at which her heart was beating from just being near him, trying to show that he had no control over her, but she was failing miserably. Their heated breaths were the only sound that filled the silent space as Elise shut her eyes and tried pushing his tempting voice that always shook her resolve and made her body shiver with want away. Just one look at him reminded her of last night in that damn cave and how she surrendered herself to him, both wolf and body. How her flesh and soul were mended by just his touch. “We have a lot to talk about; look at me, Elise,” he says, but she stays still, her body still facing the door frame. *Look at me*, and she freezes when she sees that familiar heart behind her. Slowly turning around, she peers up through her lashes to meet Rygan’s hard gaze that studies her, from her icy blue eyes to the very
