All Chapters of After Rejection: Mated to My Alpha Brother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Regina’s POVAfter my failed attempt to escape, Gavin and Nigel started to keep an even closer eye on me.They would take shifts watching me in the back while the other one drove the car upfront. The rope on my feet was changed to iron cuffs with a chain, which had one end anchored to the floor.And they kept the duct tape on my mouth the whole time in case I might cry for help. The only time I could have my mouth free was when I had my meals.I didn’t have any appetite. They suspected me of going on a hunger strike so Nigel forced me to eat with a dagger. My head would get dizzy every time I ate the food that they gave me. There might be wolfsbane or sedative in it.The restroom situation was also terrible.They wouldn’t let me get off the truck and use the toilet in the gas station. When I asked to go pee for the first time, Nigel gave me a bucket and asked me to do it in front of him.“Right here? In front of you? Can’t you at least give me some privacy?” I asked in disbelief after

Regina’s POVI had never met with Shadow Valley’s Alpha before.All I knew about this man was that he was an extraordinary pack leader. Under his reign, Shadow Valley pack grew rapidly in the past few years. Although it was still not as strong as Ever Moon Pack, it still got some worldwide recognition.As Hover and Nigel escorted me into the manor, I kept wondering why Shadow Valley’s Alpha wanted to meet me this urgently. He summoned me as soon as I arrived, as though he couldn’t wait for another night.Maybe he wanted to trade me for something.He would probably ask Grey to cede Ever Moon’s territory to Shadow Valley in exchange for me.If that was the case, I would rather he just killed me right now. I couldn’t bear with that kind of humiliation as Ever Moon’s princess.The room they brought me into was large and brightly lit, with a long table in the middle. This seemed like a dining hall.I took my seat by the table while waiting for the Alpha to show up. The wait was painful. Be

Regina’s POV“W—What princess? I don’t understand…”Melany stuttered in panic.“This is my daughter-in-law, Regina…She is no princess. Just a goddamn orphan that my son brought home a year ago…Maybe you had the wrong person, Sir Hover…”I breathed out a long sigh.I was suddenly tired of listening to Hover going over the same story that he told Angel a moment before, explaining to them that I had kept my identity a secret and that I was actually Ever Moon Pack’s Alpha’s sister.Honestly, what difference did that make?He could tell them that I was a princess all he wanted, and he could force them to respect me, but that didn’t change the fact that I was really just a prisoner here.“Hover…Don’t,” I muttered.He looked at me, “I can make her apologize to you, Princess Regina.”“Oh yeah?” I let out a sarcastic laugh, “But can you set me free? And give me my freedom back? A true princess doesn’t deserve to have her hands tied up behind her back.”He stood on his spot stiffly in silence.

Regina’s POV…Did I want to know?Did he even need to ask?!“YES!”I cried, half-anxious and half-excited, and grabbed Hover’s hand urgently, “How is he? How is Gray? Tell me!”I could still remember the way Gray looked at me when we last saw each other, the way his back gradually disappeared into the distance when he left for the border.We hadn’t had time to talk about that kiss yet.If I knew that it was my last chance, I wouldn’t agree to wait for him to come back to talk.Hover smiled faintly, “He is fine. Alpha Gray is still at the border. But I think that he has heard about the news of you missing.”“Then has he tried looking for me?” I asked eagerly.“No. Your mother let everyone believe that you eloped with Nigel.”…Connie.I clenched my fists angrily.I knew that she was behind that kidnap!I didn’t know why yet but apparently he wanted me gone.“Even so, Gray will come and find me.” I said firmly, “He knew that I had made up my mind to leave Nigel. He would see that there w

Gray’s POVI let the other generals in charge of the frontline and left with a group of my best trusted men. We traveled day and night, and managed to arrived Shadow Valley Pack in 3 days time.I stepped out of the car and took in the sight of Shadow Valley Pack’s capital city for the first time.The place was a stark contrast to anything I’d ever seen.Tall, ancient trees formed a natural barrier around the city, their twisted branches creating an almost impenetrable wall. The buildings were made of dark stone and wood that seemed to merge seamlessly with the surrounding forest.The air was thick with the rusty smell of blood, like a thousand livestock just got slaughtered in the city. I could smell fear and horror in the air.In the distance, there was a grand castle-like shadow rising above the treetops, its towers reaching for the sky, like one of those structures that trapped a princess in it.My heart ached. Was this where Regina had been living in for the past year?It was so d
