Semua Bab The Alpha's Rejected Bride: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Sophia Hughes' POVI stood outside the door, hating for the first time how sharp a wolf's hearing was—I could hear every word of their conversation as if they were speaking right next to me."Anthony, are you really going to let Sophia get pregnant? The pack's doctor said carrying a child could put her life at risk."Anthony's voice softened when he mentioned my stepsister, Emma Hughes. "I don't want Sophia to get pregnant either, but Emma is afraid of the pain and refuses to have children. Sophia is her sister—what's wrong with her carrying a child for Emma?"His subordinate hesitated. "The Elders say a wolf guards her den with tooth and claw. How are we supposed to convince Sophia to give up her baby for Emma?"Anthony's answer was calm and calculated. "She was assaulted by rogues and severely injured. Well, if she births a stillborn, no one will question it. As soon as the child is born, tell her it died, and I will personally hand the baby to Emma.""But Sophia will break… Sh

The peace did not last long.Olivia stormed into the room and threw a stack of papers in my face. "How much longer were you planning to keep this from me? The reports say the rogues ruined you—you'll never be able to bear children! End your mate bond with Anthony immediately!"I turned to Anthony. I was baffled that he had gone to such lengths to trick me into getting pregnant, yet he had not even bothered to coordinate his lies with his mother.Anthony immediately pulled me behind him. "Which pack doctor has been spreading this nonsense? Sophia is perfectly fine—we will have children."Olivia's glare burned into me. "I'll give you one year. If you don't conceive by then, I'll have the werewolf court dissolve your bond myself!"After she left, Anthony sat beside me, brushing his fingers against my cheek. "Don't cry. I promise I won't let them separate us—we'll have a healthy pup."I lowered my head; I said nothing. I knew what they wanted. They were all trying to force me to have

Anthony Amadeus' POVWhen Sophia ignored my mind-link messages, a strange panic crawled up my spine. She had always feared abandonment, so she listened to everything I said. Yet, she had just refused my offer to take her on a trip.I shot to my feet and stormed toward the door, thinking, 'That damn woman! I must've spoiled her too much! I've already apologized, yet she has the nerve to give me the silent treatment!'Just then, Emma called out from behind me, her voice laced with fear. "Anthony, where are you going? I'm scared! Don't leave me here alone!"Annoyance prickled at me. After all, it was just a tiny scrape on her head—nothing serious.When Sophia's wounds festered and the rotting flesh had to be cut away, she still managed to smile at me, her voice trembling as she reassured me by saying, "It just looks bad. It doesn't hurt that much."Then again, I had loved Emma for so many years, so I left two of my men behind to watch over her.I sped through the roads, my car tear

Sophia Hughes' POVI felt nothing but pain. My chest still ached, and the burning sensation from the silver spike lingered deep in my flesh.I barely furrowed my brows, yet the werewolves around me immediately turned their attention toward me."Does it still hurt?"I recognized the man who spoke—Kent Lycan, Alpha King of the Shadow Moon Pack.Three years ago, I saved his life. He had offered me a place in his pack with an irresistible deal, but I had refused—I could never betray my family or my mate. At least, not unless they betrayed me first.I mumbled, "Sorry, I'm too weak right now. I don't think I can be much help to you."Kent shrugged. "Once a warrior, always a warrior. You just need time."I tried to sit up, and he reached out to steady me, but I instinctively flinched away. "Sorry…"Kent, of course, knew about my past. If he had not happened to pass through Wild Nest a year ago, I would have been torn apart by those rogues. Back then, he had asked if I wanted him to t
