Rejected By My Best Friend And Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

VIVIAN'S POV "I'm so glad you're here with me." Caleb was practically skipping, making me sick to my stomach. I forced a smile. "I'm glad to be here." He stopped walking and looked at me seriously. "Do you mean that?" "Of course I do. I told you before. I was playing the part back there. We're mates, Caleb. I'd always choose you over them." He grinned at me. "I knew it." He fist pumped the air. I caught myself almost physically cringing. Had he always been this obnoxious? Knowing what I knew now had all but withered the mate bond, I learned to be a hoax. I felt nothing. “So, tell me more about what you and Sarah talked about." Caleb narrowed his eyes. "Her name is Sam now. She said Sarah is what she used to go by." "Sam. I'm sorry. What did you and Sam talk about?" He grabbed a stick and started flicking it around in the air. "She told me that if I brought your parents to you, y

VIVIAN'S POV "This is where we found you." I looked at the ground where Killian was pointing; spots of blood were still covering the ground—my blood. Looking at Killian's face, I could tell he noticed, too. Chris's jaw was tense. No one was happy to be here, but they wanted answers. I looked towards the tree line, feeling a pull. Chris and Killian watched me, waiting for me to react to my surroundings. I started walking, letting myself be guided. As we continued to walk, the tugging felt stronger. I'd been here. I'd come this way. "Vivian? Where are we going?" I held up my hand, silencing Chris. I needed to feel, not talk. I paused, closing my eyes, and turned, heading in another direction, further into the forest. Where were we headed? Ivy started whimpering. She wasn't happy that we were returning to where we came from. Something here had scared her. The closer we got, the more I questioned if we should turn bac

CHRIS'S POV "Just leave me be." I knocked on Vivid's door harder. "It's been two days. You can't keep sulking. You either open up, or I'm breaking it down." Hearing scuffling, I waited until the door cracked open, her tear streaked face staring at me. "What do you want?" I held up a paper sack of food. "You know what I want. I want you to eat something and make sure you're okay." She held out her hand. "I'll take the food, but you can go." "Yeah, right. I'm coming in and going to watch you eat this." "Not happening. I don't want to see you or Killian." My jaw dropped. "What did I do?" "Exactly that. Nothing. You didn't do anything. You stood there and did nothing." "What was I supposed to do, Vivid? She's Mother freaking Nature. Did you want a vine through my chest, too?" She flinched. "No." "So let me inside, and we can talk." She

SARAH'S POV "Why aren't we letting them come to us?" Zeke asked, staring down at the paper I held in my hands. I crumpled the sheet with the scribbles of Blackmoon's mapped compound. I knew the place by heart, so it wasn't doing me much good anyway. "Can you just shut up? I know what I'm doing." "If the pack knew I was letting you call the shots, it would hurt my cred as Alpha." I rolled my eyes. "Because you're such a wonderful Alpha in their eyes." "Hey, I am. I got rid of that murderer, Vivian." I started rubbing my temples. "Right, you did. Good job, Zekey. But listen, this is super important stuff here, and I know Blackmoon better than you do, so it's best if you just let me handle the logistics. If we let them take the offensive, we're at a disadvantage." "Got it. I've never been to war before; I guess it's all these nerves." I patted the spot on the bed next to me. "Sit down, Zekey."

KILLIAN'S POV It was early morning, and the screams started before I smelled the fire. Why was it always fire? You'd think she'd be more original when she attacked. I jumped out of bed, ran out of my room, and headed towards Vivian's. Vivian was already leaving her room, shooting a wild look in my direction. Sarah had said she was coming, and this was it. We didn't say a word as we took off outside. When we emerged, we emerged into chaos. There was fire, and people were running. Some running from the fire, and others are running toward it. Looking at where the fire came from at the front gate, I saw shifters pouring in. Some in wolf form, others not. They were breaching. I spun around to see Marcus before he shifted, my army behind him. Good, they'd handle the breaching army. I screamed at my citizens. "Get in your homes!" I hoped they heard me and listened. Not all my people were built to fight. My army whipped past me, taki
