All Chapters of Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Unlike Eloise, who was stiff with worry throughout the movie, Lucian was practically radiating cheer. His energy was infectious as he took Eloise’s hand, leading her to the parking lot. His grip was warm and reassuring, and he opened the door for her with a grin.Once Eloise had settled into the passenger seat, Lucian closed the door and walked around to the driver’s side. He slid in, ready to hit the road, when Eloise suddenly spoke."Wait a minute," she said her voice a mix of hesitation and quiet concern.Lucian paused, looking over at her. "What’s up? Do you want to go shopping?" His mind immediately flicked to all sorts of potential shopping trips. Maybe a new dress, or some shoes? He felt like he might’ve just unlocked the door to a great opportunity.Eloise’s brow furrowed slightly as she met his gaze. "No," she said, almost too quickly. "Alpha Astra, we…"Lucian raised an eyebrow. "Do you have somewhere else you need to go?" He thought about it for a second, then quickly added

Lucian’s smile froze as the words left his mouth. There was a sharpness to his voice, and a slight bitterness beneath his usual calm. "Alpha Williams, you've been emphasizing that you no longer care for some things. But tell me, why do I feel like you're just jealous? Jealous because you never really owned those things to begin with?"Ainsley’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning as cold as a glacier. He looked at Lucian, the contempt rolling off him like an invisible wave. "It’s none of your business, Alpha Astra," Ainsley hissed, his words clipped. "You'd be better off worrying about your own mess instead of poking your nose into mine."Without another word, Ainsley brushed past Lucian and walked into the ballroom, his broad shoulders tense with restrained fury. The silence between them was palpable, but neither man raised their voices, they didn’t need to. The tension was enough to electrify the space around them.Lucian’s lips thinned as he watched Ainsley disappear into the cro

The words had barely left Eloise’s lips when Lucian opened the door.Lucian, eager to play the gracious host, chimed in, “Eloise, let me introduce you to my friends. We grew up together. They are the Alpha and Beta of the Sea Moon pack, Michael and Jack.”As the door swung open, the room seemed to freeze. The tension was palpable. Eloise blinked, her face paling as she looked at the two men. Her heart rate spiked, this was not what she had expected.The silence stretched out uncomfortably until Jack’s voice broke the stillness, dripping with sarcasm. “Ah, so it’s Miss Anthony,” he said, his words hanging in the air like a threat wrapped in a polite bow.Eloise’s breath caught in her throat. She didn’t need to look at Michael to know he was just as surprised. His voice cut through the tension, his expression one of genuine confusion. “Eloise?”Lucian’s confusion mirrored hers. He looked between Jack and Michael, completely thrown. He hadn’t expected this. He didn’t like it. How do they

"Eloise! Is that really you?" The voice was full of disbelief, yet unmistakable. It was Gloria Hill! Eloise froze. No. Not today. Not here. She looked up, and sure enough, there stood Gloria, her arms wide as if Eloise had been lost in a foreign land for years. A few other familiar faces appeared behind Gloria, faces that once shared laughter and stories with her. Faces she hadn’t expected to see again. “Oh my god! It’s really her!” one of the women gasped, eyes wide. "I thought you were just... a rumor!" Eloise forced a smile, but it felt heavy, like it didn’t belong to her anymore. Great. Just what I needed. "How did you end up like this, Eloise?" another woman asked, her voice practically dripping with curiosity. Before Eloise could reply, Gloria burst out laughing. "You just got out of werewolf prison, Eloise! What did you think? That it was a vacation?" The words stung, but Eloise kept her face neutral. Gloria leaned in, suddenly all seriousness. "Wait, when did you get

Eloise’s eyes remained fixed on Gloria, her expression hardening.“Miss Hill, are you sure that if I follow your instructions this time, you’ll hand over all the copies and swear you won’t tell a soul?”Gloria, her voice dripping with mockery, opened her mouth to respond. She was about to remind Eloise, who held the power here, to boast of her control, but before she could utter a word, Eloise spoke again.“Miss Hill, everyone has their secrets. But if you lie to me again, if you betray me just one more time, I will kill you.” The chill in Eloise’s voice sent a tremor through the room. She stared at Gloria, her eyes unwavering, each word carrying the weight of a promise.Gloria recoiled, gasping for breath. Her heart hammered in her chest as the severity of Eloise’s gaze paralyzed her. She means it. This isn’t some empty threat. She’s serious… The thought slammed into Gloria's mind with the force of a physical blow. Eloise wasn’t a woman to be trifled with.Unable to hold her ground,
