All Chapters of Rejected Not Forsaken: The Alpha King's Beloved: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Meanwhile, Amelia paced nervously in her room, her perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently against the surface of her oak dresser.Two weeks had passed since Layla’s disappearance, and in all that time, she hadn’t been able to reach Aiden.The lack of communication was gnawing at her nerves, twisting her stomach into knots.Aiden was supposed to handle this. He had assured her he would deal with Layla, that Kane would be left devastated and vulnerable, paving the way for her to step in as his savior.Instead, there had been nothing but silence.Amelia had sent word through subtle channels, her messages veiled in cryptic phrasing to avoid suspicion. But none of her efforts had yielded a response.Each passing day heightened her anxiety and her anger.Aiden was unreliable, but she had trusted him to follow through. Now she was left with no idea whether he had succeeded or if the plan had fallen apart entirely.She sat down at her vanity, her reflection staring back at her with eye

Days turned into weeks, and the reports came back the same, nothing.No one had declared anyone matching Layla’s description missing.No nearby packs had any knowledge of her.It was as if she had simply appeared out of thin air.Rylan stood on the balcony outside his office, his sharp eyes scanning the sprawling forest beyond the pack’s borders.He felt a growing frustration, not just at the lack of information but at the quiet ache within him that hoped no one would claim her.The more time he spent with Layla, the more he found himself drawn to her. Despite her confusion and loss, she carried herself with a quiet strength that intrigued him.He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of footsteps behind him.He turned to see his Beta, Dain, standing at attention.“No new leads,” Dain reported solemnly. “It’s like she never existed before we found her.”Rylan exhaled, his jaw clenching. “Then we assume she has no one.”Dain hesitated, studying his Alpha’s expression. “And what do

The next morning, Kane and Amelia set out with a fresh search party.The crisp morning air was filled with the scent of pine and damp earth, the sounds of birdsong mingling with the rustling of leaves.Amelia took the lead, her sharp eyes scanning the terrain as she pointed out potential trails and landmarks.She was determined to prove herself useful, to cement her place by Kane’s side, if not in his heart.She was attentive and precise, directing the search parties with a confidence that even Kane couldn’t deny.At one point, they came across a small clearing where a torn piece of cloth was caught on a branch.Kane’s heart leapt as he recognized the fabric, it was from the dress Layla had been wearing the day she disappeared.His wolf growled, a surge of hope and anger coursing through him.Amelia was the first to speak. “It’s a sign,” she said, her voice calm but insistent. “We’re getting closer.”Kane nodded, his jaw tightening as he motioned for the group to spread out and search

The burial was arranged swiftly, yet every detail was handled with care and respect.The pack gathered in the clearing at dawn, where the soft golden light seemed almost too serene for the weight of the occasion.A simple wooden casket, draped with white lilies, was placed in the center of the gathering.Surrounding it were the artifacts that Kane had insisted accompany the burial, symbols of Layla’s life and her brief, cherished time with the pack.Kane stood at the forefront, his Alpha’s mantle heavy on his shoulders.He wore a solemn expression, his face a mask of composure that betrayed none of the turmoil within.His pack looked to him, waiting for their leader to speak, but Kane found himself unable to. Words felt meaningless in the face of such loss.Amelia, standing quietly at the side, watched Kane with an unreadable expression.She had helped coordinate the ceremony, taking care of the details with precision and empathy, or at least, the appearance of it.She had seen this m

The sun was high in the sky, casting a golden glow over Alpha Rylan’s pack as he stood outside the packhouse, waiting for Aria.He had promised to take her into the nearby town to shop for baby supplies, a promise he had been quietly excited to fulfill. Though their relationship was still undefined, Rylan took pride in ensuring she felt cared for and safe.Aria stepped out hesitantly, her hand resting lightly on her growing belly. She had begun to accept her circumstances, finding solace in the pack’s warmth and Rylan’s constant presence. Still, the prospect of venturing into town felt overwhelming.“Are you sure this is okay?” she asked softly, looking up at him.Rylan offered her a reassuring smile. “Of course. You and the baby deserve the best, and I want to make sure you have everything you need.”They set off together, the journey to the small town filled with light conversation.Rylan was careful to keep things lighthearted, teasing her gently about her newfound craving for swee
