All Chapters of The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AXEL I needed her to feel at ease around me, to trust me implicitly, and to obey my every command without hesitation. That's what I craved. She smiled back at me, revealing her flawless teeth, and for a moment, I felt a spark of excitement; this wasn't just going to be another revenge; it would be an exciting journey.I couldn't help but wonder why that asshole had left her. The new Luna, the woman I'd seen earlier, was a far cry from the genuine article. All she seemed to care about was power, and it was painfully obvious. The fool probably thought she loved him, but I wasn't buying it.It was laughably obvious, and yet he claimed to be an alpha? It was a joke. He couldn't even detect the most basic of manipulations, and that was a pathetic display of leadership. What a shame.Perhaps fate had other plans; events had fallen in order to bring her into my life at the perfect moment. It was as if fate itself had conspired to deliver her into my hands, and I couldn't help but feel a sen

ELIANAAxel reappeared in an instant, his eyes scanning the room as he took in the scene. "What's wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowed with concern.I was still gasping for breath, my chest heaving up and down. Axel's gaze locked onto mine, and he sat down beside me on the bed, his movements fluid and gentle. He shifted closer, his presence a comforting warmth that enveloped me.Axel's hand gently lifted my chin, guiding my gaze to meet his. I was certain he could see the fear lingering in my eyes, but he searched for something more. "What happened?" he asked again, his tone laced with concern, yet edged with a hint of frustration that I wasn't opening up to him. His eyes seemed to bore into mine."I... I had a nightmare," I admitted, feeling an overwhelming urge to rest my head on Axel's chest, but hesitating, unsure if it was too intimate.Axel's brow arched in curiosity. "A nightmare, huh? What happened in the nightmare, exactly?" he pressed, his eyes locked onto mine.Just as I was

AXELI couldn't help but stare at her, my throat dry as I took in the sight of her body. The more I looked, the more captivated I became. It was a cruel irony - I despised her, yet I couldn't deny the allure of her body. I do not.For the first time, I saw a spark of anger in her eyes, and I found myself drawn to it. I hoped this newfound fire would burn brighter, replacing the weakness I'd grown accustomed to seeing.I took a step closer, my hands reaching out to her… She moved away, her eyes never leaving mine. "You sure you don't want it?" I asked, my voice low."I don't," she replied, the spark in her eyes still burning bright. It was new, and I had to admit, I liked it.Her gaze drifted down my body, and I could sense her attraction. I mean, who wouldn't?"I'm sorry," I said, shifting back, "guess you don't want to cheat on your precious alpha."Her brow furrowed, irritation etched on her face. "And who is my precious alpha?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.I couldn't he

ELIANA I shook my head, deciding not to pry into their conversation. After all, he was Axel Draconis - a man shrouded in mystery and power. It was no surprise that he had his fingers in many pies, handling secrets and situations that were beyond my comprehension.I wasn't naive; all the signs pointed to something being amiss. I hadn't ignored the subtle hints and warnings - I had filed them away, waiting for the right moment to investigate further. But for now, I was stuck, forced to bide my time.Unraveling the mystery was a daunting task, especially since I had no allies to trust. I was on my own, navigating a complex web of secrets and lies. But I was determined to uncover the truth, no matter how difficult it seemed.The girl's warning, Axel's cryptic comments, and his unsettling knowledge of my past all swirled together in my mind. But what really sent chills down my spine was that he knew my true identity - that I was formerly Laura, a secret only my family was supposed to know

ELIANAA creeping sense of unease settled over me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. Even with Axel by my side, fear began to simmer just below the surface. I had been so preoccupied that I hadn't even thought about my father's deal with the deadly threat against me before leaving the house.I was all too aware that my father would stop at nothing to capture me. I could almost feel his rage simmering, knowing that I had defied him in such a bold way. This was uncharted territory for me - I had never dared to disobey him so brazenly before.I had always been obedient, doing his bidding without question, even though he had never shown me an ounce of love or affection. His expectations had been my only guiding force, shaping my every move, until now.All that had ever mattered to him was his precious wife and her daughter - not me, his own flesh and blood. He wasn't worried that he hadn't seen me for days; I was certain of that. He wouldn't be consumed by ang
