All Chapters of The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

AXELAs I walked away from her, I could feel her eyes on me, burning with a mix of emotions. I knew she was scared, but I also knew she was strong. She had to be.I scanned our surroundings, my senses on high alert. I had taken care of two of the followers, but there was at least one more lurking in the shadows. I wouldn't rest until I had neutralized the threat.I felt disrespected; they knew I was with her and still dared to come attack. I would definitely explain to them that I'm not just the lycan king but AXEL DRACONISI couldn't shake the feeling that the persistent threat was more than just a coincidence. I was convinced that her pervert of a father, that depraved individual, had committed another heinous crime elsewhere. His actions had likely stirred up a new enemy, one that was now trying to get to her.My instincts screamed that there was more to this story, that her father's web of deceit and corruption was far-reaching. I knew I had to dig deeper, to uncover the truth beh

ELIANAWith a sense of determination, I knew I had to find Axel. I needed to tell him about the searing pain that awaited me. He already knew about the pregnancy, and he was well aware of our laws and traditions.It was best that I confided in him. His power and influence within could potentially be my only hope for finding a way to alleviate the agony that loomed ahead.The thought of venturing out alone sent a shiver down my spine. I knew I wouldn't stand a chance against the numerous threats lurking in the shadows. Our lands were treacherous, and the journey would be fraught with danger.I risked being captured by my father's men, who would stop at nothing to bring me back under their control. The mere thought of falling into their hands again was enough to make my blood run cold.I might have to endure the searing pain again, and I couldn't guarantee that I'd be able to continue our journey. The trek to the witch in the Red Mountains was no trivial undertaking.I hadn't visited th

AXELAs I gazed into her blue eyes, I could see the trust growing within them. She was becoming more comfortable around me, and everything was unfolding exactly as I had planned. I couldn't help but smile inwardly, pleased with the progress.This was what I needed from her - her trust, her vulnerability. And she was complying perfectly, unaware of the fate that awaited her. The process of sealing her fate was a delicate one, and for now, I was content to savor the journey, to relish in the subtle dance of power and manipulation.Her eyes flashed with anger, a sentiment she struggled to conceal. My beta had briefed me on the situation, and it seemed she had overheard something in Ragnorr's room that had ignited her ire. Initially, she had assumed I was the one responsible, but what she didn't realize was that I didn't have time for petty games. I was here on a mission, one I had dedicated my life to, and nothing would distract me from my ultimate goal.I couldn't afford to let anything

ELIANAWe soon arrived at a cave, its entrance a dark and foreboding mouth in the side of the mountain. The air inside was thick and heavy, and the silence was oppressive, making my skin crawl. The heat was intense, a dry and suffocating warmth that seemed to sear my lungs. And yet, despite the physical discomfort, it was the memory of the huge wolf that continued to haunt me, its presence lingering in my mind like a shadow. I couldn't shake the feeling that I should be afraid of it, but the reason why remained frustratingly out of reach.As we transformed back into our human forms, I couldn't help but feel a flush rise to my cheeks. We stood there, naked and unadorned, our bodies vulnerable to the other's gaze. My eyes, seemingly of their own accord, drifted to Axel's, and I felt a jolt of attraction. His physique was chiseled and strong, and I found myself drawn to him, my gaze flickering to his gigantic shaft, my mind momentarily forgetting the pressing matters that had brought us

AXEL As I watched El's eyes light up with delight at the taste of the meat, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. It was a small moment, but it was a crack in the armor of her defenses. She was starting to let me in, and I was determined to prove myself worthy of her trust. I smiled to myself as I remembered her teasing words. "Just take the compliment and say 'thank you, Mister'". She had no idea how much I loved the way she spoke to me. I knew I had to be extra caring and loving towards El, to counteract the doubts that Valkyrie's words had surely planted in her mind. I was certain that the Valkyrie had been talking about me, and I could only imagine the worst-case scenarios that El must be conjuring up. As I looked at her, I could see the faintest glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes, and it killed me. I wanted to erase those doubts, to make her see that I was committed to her, no matter what. So I made a conscious effort to be more attentive, more affectionate, an
