All Chapters of The King’s Rejected Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Derek's povChaos went on the Palace followed by loud noises, My guards had assembled a few men and women before the castle waiting for meto meet them.I had just slowly began to heal thanks to Nicolas who was still sleeping for spending the night with me.I slowly stepped out with a cold expression on my face.“Who are you?” I asked roughly,“King, please spare us, we are refugees from the silver lake pack, our pack has been attacked and we are the only ones to escape” a woman answered.The silver lack pack and the moon shadow palace has been in conflict for a while now, they had resisted the alliance of the red moon pack to the point of even insulting my authority, when I heard about them, a frown formed on my face, why do i have to help them when they had mocked me and promised not to come to me for help.“Why do I care about you guys? I said coldly, making the woman think twice if I would actually help them.“Because we have no one but you, our enemies has laid waste to our pack a

Emma's POv My blood ran cold at Charlotte’s revelation. Nicole? What was she talking about? Veronica shot me a sharp look, clearly catching the flicker of alarm that crossed my face. “Nicole? What the heck are you talking about, Charlotte?” Charlotte smirked as she handled me paper, “Let’s just say our dear Nicolas isn’t exactly who he claims to be.” She handed the paper to Veronica, who scanned it quickly and immediately gasped in shock, “What the heck is this? How…? How??” “Impossible,” Veronica whispered, looking up at me, then back at Charlotte. I immediately collected the paper from Veronica who asked, “Does Alaric know?” Charlotte shook her head, feigning innocence. “Not yet. But imagine his reaction when he finds out his supposed mate is actually a woman” She said before she turned back at me, “I wonder what's going to happen Emma, My eyes scanned at the paper in shock, how? Just how could she perfectly had hidded herself under the facade way too well for most people

I woke up tossing and turning before realizing that my actual mate was gone, but his—oh! Was it her? Her scent was as strong as anything on my skin. For a moment, I thought I was still dreaming, that everything that happened last night hadn’t actually happened. But I could see the faint scratches on my chest, the taste of her on my lips, and her strong scent told me otherwise. ‘She’s gone,’ Ragner growled with anguish. ‘She’s running from us.’ I sat up slowly with my head spinning with the thoughts. ‘Ragner, our mate was a girl all along. She was Nicole, the broken girl who I ended up breaking more .’ I told Ragner, and the thoughts sliced through me like an arrow. She was Nicole Salvator, the girl who I had searched for for so long. The strong volcano Alpha who is strong enough to defeat me. My jaw clenched at the thought. I didn't know! Nobody knew because of her wolf. Her wolf was able to conceal whatever scent it didn’t want you to perceive. And yet, I had killed him.

Alaric’s POV I had been searching for Nicole for days, yet every effort turned out to be futile.When word finally came from Drogomor that she was at the palace, I had no idea what to do. Nicole had clearly told me not to bother coming, promising to find her way back to the pack. As much as I didn’t want to comply, I had to. A report about a rogue incursion had just reached us, demanding immediate attention. Once that was dealt with, I would go to Drogomor and bring my mate back from the Mad King’s territory.We were patrolling the borders when it happened.A sharp, searing pain stabbed my side, forcing a guttural growl from my throat. I staggered, clutching my ribs, confused and with agony coursing through me."Alaric!" My beta’s voice sounded distant as he rushed to my side. “What’s wrong?”I couldn’t answer. My vision blurred, and the world around me dimmed. I fought to steady myself, but the pain only worsened, making my knees wobble.“A-Alaric!”His voice sounded frantic, and t

Derek's POV I really wanted to speak with Nicole. Even though I am the last person she wants to see, I really wanted to tell her how sorry and pathetic I was for everything I did to her pack members. I wanted to tell her how I was ready all my life to pay for the damages. As soon as I got to Drogomor, I couldn't help a smirk as I saw Alpha Alaric. I never liked him; I never liked his pack. We have never been enemies, but there was just something about him, something that I just couldn’t lay my hands on, that I didn't like. I wonder why the Moon Goddess would have to fate him and Nicole together. “I need to speak to my mate!” I uttered as soon as I saw him, knowing full well that the word *‘my’* would anger him. I knew he must have found out about what happened when Nicole went into heat. I tried to spot the mark on his arm, but he had concealed it with a long cloth. That bastard! “He is not your mate!” His wolf roared, and that made me feel good. I wanted to get on
