All Chapters of Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Meeting with the Calhan males already felt like a completely new experience for Elise, especially since the males had different characters and demeanors. Hayden gives her a brief explanation that Abby will be taking her in, and she obliges once she knows it is the healer. A part of her had a soft spot for healers because of Vienna, her friend, who was very kind to her in the black-moon park. Her throat immediately soured with sadness as she cleared it to stop herself from showing any vulnerable emotions or crying because of how much she missed Vienna. “And where will you be staying?” She asked Hayden, whose lips curled up in a smile as he leaned against the adjacent wall. Calhan males were big, and shadow wolves were bigger, and he towered over her, almost the same height as an alpha. She didn’t want to remember anything about that place. Not now. “Are you thinking of little old me, El? Are you worried you won't see me for the night? Don’t worry, I could fix that,” he jokes.

Elise's POV ~~~ After Abby revealed everything to me, I went back to my room to be alone, my head filled with so much emotion that I felt a dull ache worsening by the minute. "Maybe a panic attack?" I thought as I rushed to the bed, pulling the covers over myself and clutching a hand over my mouth to control the harsh breathing, to an extent. But more than ever, I wanted to find out what happened to my father, and once I found out, I would leave and seek my revenge, starting with Dexton, my ex-father who had ruined my life. Maybe I could start over after that; I wanted a clean slate, I prayed desperately.a yearning my heart desired. My eyelids grew heavy as I fell into a deep slumber. I found myself in that familiar mist, but this time it was calming. I watched as a shadow emerged, this time enormous and powerful, with those violet eyes I remembered from my wolf. She gazed up at me, the closest we had ever been. I reached out to touch her, and she extended her neck for

Elise was more than relieved that she could meet that man now, but from their gaze, she could tell there was something else to it. “What is it?” She asked the twin brothers. “As we said, our father's mental condition isn’t all that stable for years now, and his chambers are hardly opened out to the public because of that, but the festival in two days will be the perfect opportunity,” Hayden explained. "So, you have to wait a few days, please.” It’s just a few days; there’s no harm since they’ve assured her that she’d be able to meet their chief, she thought, so she nodded in agreement. Though it slows down her plans to leave the pack soon, she sees something almost like relief on Hayden’s face when she agrees to stay another day. *Stop letting your heart show on your sleeves, brother,* Holden channels, but he ignores it. “I’ll take you back,” he tells Elise. She spares a short glance at Holden but is met with a smirk that has her confused as to what it means. She follows H

“So you are the one that my men reported to me about,” he mutters, looking up at Elise. Hayden raises his head to speak in her defense, but he raises a hand to stop him. “I know all about your secret in helping a female that got attacked; you helped and gave her refuge even though she is a stranger, but she is an alderman, an enemy to our pack. I need you to explain what that means to us right this instant.” A wicked smile sprawled on Holden's lips; he seemed to be enjoying this, enjoying seeing his brother being scrutinized by their father, knowing now he would be in the chief's good graces instead of Hayden. “I-i mean no harm, Chief Blackwood,” she says with a curt bow. He lets out a dismissive hum to his men, who bow and leave them. With Holden and Hayden behind her, their arms at attention, their faces stoic as they face their father, the chief of this pack. “I was saved by your son while I was on the verge of death, and I’m grateful for that. Yes, I might have been rais

Rygan’s POV “Rygan?” I hear my name roared out by Taz behind the door. The loud, unending pounding of the door pulls me out of sleep. I roll over, forgetting the spinning room around me. But I don’t answer; I’m barely living and barely there at the moment. Everything feels useless and unimportant since I found out that Elise is dead. And all the news from my troops that came back was no news at all. I don’t want to believe the trail ended on the deep, rocky cliff. There has to be something I’m missing; there has to be, but Kaide made it known to me that she was gone. There isn’t even a body I could salvage. I hate myself for that. I hate myself that my last words to her and my last encounter were filled with nothing but anger and blame. I can barely breathe when I think of her right now. I roll over, my fingers meeting the cold glass of a wine bottle in my bed. My only companion these days is the solace of being drunk. It’s the only way I can sleep without waking up to nig
