Rejected Not Forsaken: The Alpha King's Beloved のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

The town square bustled with life, vendors calling out their wares, children laughing as they chased each other, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the air.Aria held Ace’s hand as they wandered from stall to stall, her son’s excitement infectious as he pointed out colorful trinkets and shiny objects that caught his eye.“Mommy, look!” Ace tugged at her hand, pulling her toward a stand filled with wooden toys. “Can I get the horse?”Aria smiled softly, ruffling his hair. “We’ll see, sweetheart. Let’s finish looking around first.”As they continued, Aria’s sense of ease was abruptly shattered. From across the square, she spotted a figure she hadn’t expected to see, Celeste.Rylan’s ex wife stood with an air of elegance, her striking features framed by auburn curls, but her sharp gaze locked onto Aria with a venomous intensity.Before Aria could react, Celeste was striding toward them, her heels clicking against the cobblestones.“Well, isn’t this a sight,” Celeste sai

The morning air was crisp and laced with tension as Rylan stormed into the meeting hall.His jaw was clenched, his steps heavy with purpose as he scanned the room.Celeste stood near the far end, her poise as immaculate as ever.She was dressed elegantly, her golden hair cascading down her back, a picture of composure that only served to stoke Rylan's frustration.She turned as he approached, a sly smile curling her lips. “Alpha Rylan,” she greeted, her tone mocking. “What brings you here so early? Couldn’t resist my charm, perhaps?”Rylan’s eyes narrowed, his voice low but firm. “Cut the games, Celeste. We need to talk.”Celeste arched a brow, feigning innocence. “Talk? Whatever about?”Rylan crossed his arms, his glare unyielding. “Don’t play coy. You know exactly what this is about. You know the truth about Aria… about Layla.”For a brief moment, a flicker of triumph passed through Celeste’s eyes before she masked it with feigned surprise. “Oh, that.” She smirked, leaning casually

In Celeste’s lavish chamber, as she leaned over her ornate desk, across from her stood Miranda, her loyal confidant and the very maid who had been her eyes and ears in Rylan’s pack for years.Miranda’s expression was a mixture of curiosity and apprehension as Celeste explained the next phase of her plan.“Are you sure about this, my lady?” Miranda asked hesitantly. “The boy is young. Innocent.”Celeste’s face hardened, her voice cold and unyielding. “Do not mistake my kindness for weakness, Miranda. That boy is anything but innocent. He’s the key to Aria’s downfall and Kane’s distraction. Once the boy is gone, Aria will crumble, and with her grief will come her demise.”Miranda swallowed hard, but she knew better than to question Celeste further. She nodded obediently. “What would you have me do?”Celeste smirked, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes. “When Aria takes him out to the town square tomorrow, you’ll create a diversion. Lure the boy away, he’s curious and will follow if you pr

Kane crouched near a broken branch, his sharp eyes scanning the ground for any sign of Ace.His men moved silently behind him, their Alpha’s urgency driving them to cover ground faster than they thought possible.The scent trail was faint but persistent, leading deeper into the forest’s heart.As he rose to his feet, Liam, his loyal beta, approached from the west flank, his expression grave. “Alpha,” he began, his voice low, “we’ve intercepted something you need to see.”Kane didn’t hesitate, snatching the small, crumpled note Liam handed him.The words, hastily scrawled, made his blood run cold: "The child is the key to breaking her. Ensure Ace is removed, and Aria will crumble. Celeste and Amelia will handle the rest. Be ready to strike when the Luna falls."Kane’s jaw clenched, his grip on the note tightening as fury surged through him. “Celeste and Amelia,” he muttered under his breath, his voice dripping with venom.Liam stepped closer, his tone cautious. “Alpha, this confirms th

The forest, once alive with danger had settled into an uneasy stillness. Celeste and Amelia, subdued, were escorted back to Rylan’s territory by his warriors.The Alphas, Kane and Rylan, stood a short distance apart, their gazes locked in a silent battle of wills.Aria sat on a fallen log, holding Ace close.The boy clung to her, his face buried in her neck as she stroked his hair soothingly.Her heart still raced from the events of the day, but the warmth of her son’s embrace grounded her.Kane approached cautiously, his usually commanding presence softened by concern. “Aria,” he said, his voice low and measured.She looked up, meeting his gaze.“Thank you for finding Ace,” she said, her tone polite but distant.Kane knelt in front of her, his eyes searching hers. “You don’t have to thank me. I’d do anything for you and Ace, you know that.”Rylan’s voice cut through the moment like a blade. “And yet you put them in danger with Amelia.”Kane stood, turning to face Rylan. “Don’t preten
