All Chapters of Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The entire pack was in chaos for the first hour. Medical staff rushed here and there, attending to the injured while the corpses were carried away.I sat in the familiar living room with Zane beside me, watching as all this unfolded. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to be out of this place right now, but I couldn’t do that, at least not when I hadn’t gotten the information I wanted. “What happened?”The familiar voice tore me out of my dazed state. I raised my head and watched as my father walked in. He questioned a few of the guards around before he even took notice of Zane and I’s presence, and he did not look the happiest to see me. “Why are you here Cana? What did you do this time around? You know what, don’t answer that; answer the first: why are you here after I explicitly told you that the banishment is for three years?”He fired all questions at me all at once and honestly, I felt saddened by the fact that all he cared about was whether I had broken the rules given, rat

Dinner was...strange. Talia sat with us, a fresh change from it just being I and Zane alone, yet, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy the meal nor focus on the pack story she was telling me. My mind drifted between the creature we had encountered, the training I had woefully failed, and Zane's words. I wasn't ready. For what? The danger that came with Knowledge? And if that was it, how dangerous was knowing? I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice Talia had stopped speaking. "Is everything okay, Lady Cana?" She asked, tilting her head to the side in a cute manner, one I would have acknowledged if I wasn't too jumbled with all my thoughts. Forcing a smile, I nodded. "Yes, just, tired." Turning my attention back to my half-eaten meal, I caught Zane staring at me from across the table, but he made no effort to talk. Neither did I. It was clear that things were still a bit awkward, after the things I had said. Averting my gaze, I tried my best to continue eating, but n

~Estella POV: I watched the video that had been sent to me with clenched jaws. Seeing Zane getting chummy with another girl that wasn’t me made my insides burn in a fiery rage. Standing beside me, he also had a displeased look on his face, a frown, knowing fully well that I wouldn’t like this as much as he didn’t. “What’s the meaning of this?” I asked, sounding calm and calculated, yet I was sure he could hear how angry I was. “Who is she?” “Some stray,” He was quick to answer. “Zane’s being humble and looking after her because he feels pity for her after she’s been banished from her pack-“ “Pity?” I snapped. “Look closely at this video, Callahan. Does the emotion written on his face look like pity?” “Please, calm yourself.” He pleaded. “This is all a misunderstanding, I assure you. Zane’s yours, it’s been that way since the very beginning-“ “Then you better keep it that way.” I sneered. “And that thing,” I glanced back at the screen and scowled. Even my wolf felt dis

~Cana's POV:I targeted the moment I heard Zane's footsteps, light and untroubled, walking out of his room and towards the training ground. Without delay, I jumped off my bed, scrambled through my wardrobe, and found an attire that could be considered training material worthy.Quickly dressing myself up, I grabbed my phone, shoved it in my pocket, and rushed out of my room towards the training ground.I met Zane throwing on some punching gloves and for the first time, actually took my time to examine his build. The dress he wore, a black pair of joggers and a plain black t-shirt, hung on his body, accentuating his lean, muscular figure and toned legs.Damn, once again, I was sure I'd be drooling if I had stared longer. "Cana," He called, catching my attention. My eyes traveled from his body to his face, finding a frown etched on the features of his face. "What are you doing here? Talia isn't here today, your training is posted for""I know Talia isn't here," I interrupted him, tak

~Cana's POV:"Davis!" Talia yelled, grabbing her brother by the shoulders and holding him steady as he coughed and spit more blood."What's going on?" She questioned, glancing up at Zane, eyes wide and terrified. "Alpha, what's going on?"Zane's expression hardened, but he remained silent."Alpha, please! What's going on?" Talia screamed, her voice cracking and breaking as tears began to roll down her cheeks.I stood, frozen in my place, staring at the sight in front of me with shock and disbelief.Davis coughed again, and more blood poured out of his mouth, at this point, Zane moved faster than any of us. "Step aside," He told Talia as he picked Davis up, not paying any mind to the blood that was staining his shirt. "Sheila, call Doctor Maria." He ordered and headed out of the dining room, towards the exit.Talia followed after him, worriedly, and just as I was about to do so, Sheila stopped me. "Know your place," She sneered. "This is a family matter, a pack matter, you are no les
