REJECTED BY ONE, CLAIMED BY TWO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Reese's POV I sat in my quarters, my mind racing with thoughts of Sera's proposal. I had turned her down, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that I could've made a powerful ally. As I poured myself a glass of whiskey, my eyes narrowed as I thought about Sera's words. "We could be great allies," she had said, but at what cost? I took a swig of whiskey, feeling the burn in my chest. I knew I couldn't trust Sera, but a part of me wondered what would have happened if I had accepted her offer. Would we have been able to take down the landside Pack together? Or would she have turned on me the moment it suited her?The questions swirled in my head, and my stomach twisted with unease. I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand. We needed to take down the landside Pack, and we needed to do it soon. I couldn't shake the feeling that we were running out of time.The next morning, I walked into Winston's chambers, my mind fixed on the landside Pack. "Winston, I think it's time

Sera's POVI slipped into Reese's chambers, the fire crackling in the hearth. He gestured for me to take a seat, and I did, my eyes adjusting to the warm light."Sera, thank you for coming," Reese said, his voice low and serious. "I think it's time we discussed our plan."I nodded, my mind racing with possibilities. "What's the update on the Landside?"I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Reese's confidence. "I'd like to know more about this plan of yours, are you sure it's foolproof?"Reese smiled, a hint of excitement in his eyes. "Luciana has been gathering intel, and I've been building a network of allies. But we need your... particular set of skills to make this work."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."Reese leaned forward, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "We need to weaken Kayson's grip on the pack. Luciana will help us place our followers in strategic positions, but we need your resources to make it happen."I nodded, seeing where this was going. "And what of Apr

Kayson's POV I want you to work with the security team to review the pack's security measures," I told Thane. "See if there are any weaknesses that could be exploited and I want you to interview the pack members who have been directly affected by these accidents. See if they've noticed anything suspicious."Thane nodded, his eyes already scanning the room as if searching for potential suspects. "I'll get started right away, Kayson."I turned to the rest of my advisors. "I want the rest of you to keep your ears open, see if you hear anything and I want you to be careful. If there is a traitor in our midst, we don't know what they're capable of."My advisors nodded, their faces serious. We all knew the stakes, If there was a traitor in the pack, it could mean serious trouble for the pack.As the meeting adjourned, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Who was behind these accidents? And what did they want?I walked out of the conference room, my eyes scanning the hallway. The pack wa

Kayson's POV I watched as the prisoner was tortured, his screams echoing off the cold stone walls of the dungeon. I had to know the truth, no matter how brutal the method. Ronan and Ryder stood beside me, their faces grim and unyielding.The prisoner proved stubborn, refusing to crack even as his body was broken. But eventually, he couldn't take it anymore. With a sob, he spilled the truth."It was the Rogue pack," he gasped, his eyes pleading for mercy. "They orchestrated it all. I was just paid...paid to do their dirty work."My mind raced with questions, but before I could ask any of them, the prisoner dropped a bombshell."Luciana," he whispered, his eyes darting to me with fear. "She paid me."My world stopped. Luciana, my childhood friend, my confidant. The one person I had trusted above all others. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.I tried to process the information, but my mind was reeling. Why would Luciana do this? Ws it because...?? No..

April's POV I was dragged before the pack's council, my wrists bound by thick ropes that dug into my skin. The council members glared at me with unbridled anger, their faces twisted in snarls. "Killer!" one of them spat, the word dripping with venom. "You'll pay for what you've done!""Treacherous bitch!" another council member growled, baring his teeth.The room erupted into chaos, with pack members shouting and snarling like wild animals. Marcus, the pack's beta, struggled to maintain order, his voice booming above the din. "Enough!" he bellowed. "We'll begin her trial, and then we'll decide her fate."But the pack members were unforgiving, their thirst for revenge consuming them. "No mercy!" they chanted, their voices rising to a fever pitch. "Kill her! Kill her!"Rael, an older wolf with a wise face, tried to reason with them. "Wait, let's not be hasty," she urged. "April Stone has truly committed a grave sin, but she is still one of us. We should hear her out before we pass judg
