Chapter Hundred and Twelve

Jenna's POV

The days have passed, albeit slowly. I have tried to be more involved in pack activities. And my effort has seemed to put Jack at ease.

We had traveled the entire day. And by nightfall, Jack had called for a halt and for us to make camp. Everyone had released a sigh of relief, happy to rest their legs for a while. Jack sits on the opposite side, talking in low voices with Jordan and the others. Every now and then, his eyes meet mine, a silent promise lingering in the air between us.

But even as I sit among the pack, surrounded by familiar faces, I feel more alone than ever.

The tether’s words haven’t left me. They echo in my mind, gnawing at my thoughts, turning every glance and every touch from Jack into something suspicious. Doubt crawls under my skin, no matter how much I try to push it away. I want to trust Jack—I need to—but the tether’s voice has planted seeds of uncertainty that I can’t seem to shake.

I stand and slip away from the fire

  • ALPHA REJECTION   Chapter 113

    Chapter Hundred and Thirteen Jenna's POV The fire crackles softly, the only sound in the cabin, casting flickering shadows across the walls. I sleep lightly, my arm draped over Raina’s blanket, instinctively keeping close in case she needs me. Her breathing, still shallow but steady, is the rhythm I cling to in the quiet. The fear of losing her hasn’t left me, even though she’s stable now. I can’t shake the terror that grips me every time I think of what almost happened.A light tap on my shoulder pulls me from my fitful sleep. At first, I think I’m dreaming, but the touch comes again—insistent.“Jenna.”Raina’s voice is soft but unmistakable. My eyes snap open, and I blink against the dim light. For a moment, I don’t quite understand what I’m seeing. Then, the world sharpens into focus, and there she is—sitting up. Awake. Alive.“Raina?” I whisper, my voice cracking. My heart leaps into my throat as I stare at her, my mind barely able to register it.She smirks, though it’s weak. “

    Chapter Hundred and Fifteen Jenna's POV The fire flickers weakly, casting long, wavering shadows against the walls. But its warmth does nothing to chase away the chill creeping into my bones. The council. The mere thought of them makes my stomach turn.I glance at Raina, who’s still wearing that smirk, as if this whole situation is a joke. But I see it—the faintest flicker of fear behind her eyes, no matter how hard she tries to hide it. I swallow the lump in my throat and force myself to speak, though my voice shakes just a little.“We can’t stay here,” I say, quieter this time, but the urgency is clear. “If the council’s after us, it’s only a matter of time before they find this place. We’ll be sniffed out. They’ll track us like animals.”Raina sighs dramatically, rolling her eyes as she shifts on the bed, her smirk faltering for a second. “Wow, Jenna, always the optimist,” she says, but there’s tension in her voice, and I know I’ve hit a nerve.“I’m serious, Raina,” I snap, sharp

    Cassie's POV I unlock the door, adrenaline buzzing in my veins, my hands still shaky with excitement. It wasn’t just the thrill of the hunt but the promise of recognition that had my heart pounding. The council would finally see my worth, and tonight would be my breakthrough. This was the proof they’d been asking for—the validation I’d been clawing my way toward for months. “Cassie?” Julius’s voice drifts over from the living room. He’s lounging on the couch in his usual spot, but his eyes are sharp, observing me even before I walk fully into view. “What did you do?” There’s a note of wariness in his voice, as if he already knows the answer. I slide onto the couch beside him, pulling out my phone and angling it in his direction. My lips curve into a smug grin as I bring up the photo. “You’re looking at Raina, mid-transformation,” I announce, letting each word hang in the air. “And Jenna was with her. This is exactly what I needed to prove to the council that they’re not human.” J

    Chapter Hundred and Sixteen Eleanor's POVThe cabin is quiet, almost too quiet, and every sound seems amplified against the dense silence. The wind rustles outside, brushing against the walls in soft, steady breaths, as though the night itself is waiting for something. I stand watch, barely moving, my fingers clenched tightly around a makeshift knife I’d sharpened only hours ago. It’s hardly a defense against the council, but it’s something—one of the few things left that gives me the illusion of control. Across the room, Raina and Jenna lie huddled together in fitful sleep, exhaustion finally overtaking their fear, if only for a moment. Raina’s injury keeps her restless, and even in sleep, her body shudders in pain. Her wound, barely stitched up and raw, demands attention. It’s a haunting reminder that we can’t stay here, but moving too soon might kill her. I wish we had the luxury of waiting, just a day or two longer, but the truth is we don’t. Every moment we stay here, the counc

    Chapter Hundred and Seventeen Jenna's POV I stir, feeling heavy, like I’m emerging from a dream I can’t quite remember. Blinking, I sit up slowly, and the events of yesterday hit me like a wave. Raina—she was shot. She was so close to death, and Iâ€Ķ I fed her my own blood. My gaze drifts to Raina lying nearby, her face no longer pale, the color returned to her cheeks. Relief settles in me, but it’s weighed down by the unknown. We can’t hide forever. There’s no telling how long we’ll be safe here. I rise and pull a shawl around my shoulders against the morning chill, then step outside for a breath of fresh air. Just a few paces from the cabin, I spot Eleanor. She’s standing with her arms wrapped around herself, shoulders slumped, head tilted down. “Eleanor?” I call softly. She looks up, and my chest tightens at the sadness in her eyes. She’s always been so strong, always the one to keep us all together. But today, she looksâ€Ķ tired, weighed down by something I can’t see.“Morning,

    Chapter Hundred and Eighteen Jenna's POV Under the dim light of the cabin, Eleanor rubs her eyes and stretches, glancing around with a weariness that I don’t miss. She rises quietly, slipping her arms into her coat and moving toward the door.“Eleanor?” I say softly, watching her pause and look over her shoulder.“Hey, Jenna. I didn’t mean to wake you,” she murmurs, her voice heavy.I glance at the clock on the wall, noticing how little time has passed since we all settled in for the night. “You’re not sleeping again?” I ask, concern clear in my tone.She offers me a small, apologetic smile. “I haven’t slept much since we left the shelter. I don’t know... I just can’t seem to settle.”I sit up, tucking the blanket around my shoulders. “It’s the shelter, isn’t it? You miss it?”Her eyes flicker with a glimmer of sadness. “It was safe. At least, safer than out here.” She hesitates, and then her gaze hardens with that familiar protectiveness. “I think someone should be keeping watch. W

    Chapter Hundred and Nineteen Jenna's POV Raina’s eyebrows shoot up, surprise clear in her expression. “The only one?”I nod, my gaze dropping as I continue. “He was the alpha of my former pack. When we met, the bond sparked immediately. But heâ€Ķ” I trail off, taking a breath to steady myself. “He rejected me. He decided that I wasn’t good enough and that I didn’t meet his standards as an alpha’s mate. I was just a reminder of weakness, of what he thought a mate should be.”Raina stares at me, her expression flickering with a mix of surprise and sympathy. “That must have hurt.”I nod, a bitter smile tugging at my lips. “It did. It broke me. I left the pack after that. I couldn’t stay and watch him with someone else.”I cannot help but remember the pain that had engulfed me when he called called for that feast, and right before me, had chosen a late for himself. Violet. Bus bestfriend. Right hand woman. One of the strongest women in the pack. She had been everything I wasn't. All tha

    Chapter Hundred and Twenty Jack's POV After weeks of travel and uncertainty, we’ve finally found a place to call home. The fields stretch out before us, lush and inviting, with a river cutting through the landscape. A stunning waterfall cascades nearby, surrounded by trees boasting vibrant leaves. The air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and fresh earth. This place feels alive, and I can see my pack mirroring my feelings of hope and relief.“Look at this!” I call out to everyone, my voice rising above the chatter. “This is our home now!” Cheers erupt from the pack, echoing in the cool air. I can’t help but grin as I watch them embrace each other, laughter and tears mingling together. This moment is everything we’ve fought for.I scan the crowd, searching for Maria. Ever since Xavier decided to stay behind, she’s been quieter, lost in her own thoughts. But today, as I look over, I see her by the river with Sav. My heart sinks a little when I think about Xavier’s absence,

  • ALPHA REJECTION   Chapter 219

    PrologueJenna’s POVThe house is a haven of warmth and calm, filled with the low hum of contentment. Outside, the world continues to bustle—the sounds of children’s laughter echo through the air, accompanied by the chatter of pack members as they go about their tasks. We’ve built something here, something beautiful, and I never imagined it would feel like this. I sit in a sturdy chair by the window, my feet propped up and my swollen belly cradled gently in my hands. It's almost time—our child is growing inside me, and the thought brings a mixture of joy and anticipation. The days are passing slowly now, each one bringing us closer to the arrival of our little one. And with Jack by my side, I know we can face whatever the future holds. I hear footsteps approaching and look up to see Mia standing in the doorway, a soft smile on her face. She holds a bowl of warm water and a cloth in her hands, her expression a mix of eagerness and affection. “Jenna,” she says, her voice light. “I wa

    Jenna’s POV The next morning, I find Veronica standing by the edge of the clearing, her silhouette framed by the soft light of dawn filtering through the trees. The previous day had been filled with lots of hugs of goodbye. I had witnessed people cry as they'd embraced and promised to stay in touch. Greta had decided to return to her inn and rebuild it again. She had enjoyed the thrill of fighting and was glad that she was on the right side of history, but she needed to rest, and she couldn't think of a better place to do it. Raina and Caleb, though, had chosen to stay with us. And I was more than happy to still have them. Veronica looks serene despite her exhaustion, her posture as graceful as ever. It’s a sight that brings a pang of nostalgia to my chest, a reminder of the countless hours we’d spent together training, laughing, and sharing dreams of a better future. I approach her slowly, hesitant for reasons I can’t quite articulate. She notices me immediately, her lips curvi

  • ALPHA REJECTION   Chapter 217

    Jack’s POV “Are you both joined together by the hip?” Raina asks as she approaches Jenna and I. Jenna lets out a low chuckle as she disentangles from me and moves towards her friend to warmonger in a hug. “We did it!” I hear her say as she continues to stay in her embrace. Raina rubs her back fondly, returning Jenna's hug with a soft, sad smile. “We did it, even though we're no longer complete.” Jenna steps back and looks at Raina, whose eyes are now wet with tears. “The last thing I expected was Eleanor's betrayal.”Jenna's shoulders slump in sadness as she nods. “At least we still have Greta and Caleb.”Raina smiles again as she clasps Jenna's hands in hers. “At least we still do.” As they continue to talk, Caleb and Greta join them, and I decide to step away and give them the privacy to talk and reunite. As soon as I am a considerable distance away from the group, Zephyr approaches me with a calm but deliberate stride, his golden eyes steady and unreadable. He stops a few f

  • ALPHA REJECTION   Chapter 216

    Jack’s POV Jenna has returned to the women, helping them with whatever she can and rationing the last of our supplies. I watch her, marveling at how far she’s come. She’s not the same woman I foolishly rejected all those years ago. Jenna has always been brave, but now she’s a force to be reckoned with—a leader in her own right. Her quick wit and relentless courage have saved me more than once, and I know, deep down, that I owe her more than just my life. As she laughs softly at something Raina says, my chest tightens with a mix of pride and longing. Maybe I needed to be stupid enough to let her go back then to realize what I’d lost. Maybe my reckless decision to reject her wasn’t just a mistake but a painful lesson I had to learn to truly see her worth. And gods, she’s worth everything. I watch her for a moment longer, my wolf pacing restlessly within me, yearning to be close to her. The thought of spending the rest of my life with her—of building something lasting when all this

  • ALPHA REJECTION   Chapter 215

    Jack’s POV The forest is quiet, save for the distant rustle of leaves and the occasional crackle of the embers still smoldering behind us. The air feels heavy, laden with the scent of ash and smoke from Violet’s pyre, and though her flame has burned out, the weight of her memory lingers. I catch sight of Jenna standing with Raina and a few of the other women. They're all talking and laughing, their voices ringing out steady and true. The sound of it makes my heart warm. We might have experienced our own loss, but we had emerged victorious. Jenna is beautiful in a way that makes my chest ache, her blonde hair catching the light and her shoulders held high despite the exhaustion I know she’s feeling. She’s always been like that since we met again—strong, unwavering. My anchor in a storm I was too blind to see for years. As I watch her, my mind drifts back to the look in her eyes earlier, when I spoke about Violet. It wasn’t judgment or anger I saw there, but confusion. Maybe even

    Jenna's POVThe trek through the forest is quiet, somber. Jordan carries Violet’s body in his arms, his face set in a grim mask of determination. None of us speak, but the weight of what we’ve endured is palpable. Every step away from the battlefield feels heavier than the last.We find a small clearing as the sun begins to rise, its pale light filtering through the trees. The others gather around, their expressions weary but resolute. Zephyr and his people—no longer strangers but allies—stand a respectful distance away. Even Veronica, her frailty evident as she leans against Zephyr for support, watches silently.Jordan kneels, carefully laying Violet’s body on the grass. He brushes a strand of her hair away from her face, his hands trembling. “I’m taking her home,” he says, his voice raw. “She deserves to rest where she belonged.”For a moment I wonder whether he even remembers that there is no home for now. “Jordanâ€Ķ” Jack steps forward. “Carrying her all that way isn’t practical.

    Jenna’s POVAs we prepare to leave the hideout, I look around, still in utter disbelief that it's really over. Blood stains the ground, and the metallic scent of it lingers in the air. The bodies of the council elders lie scattered, their once-mighty forms now lifeless and cold.Violet’s lifeless form rests where she fell, and though I ache to go to her, to pay my last respect, something else draws me forward.Eleanor.She’s still kneeling where we had chained her. She doesn’t look up as I approach, her head bowed, her long hair falling in a curtain around her face.Sue doesn't look up, nor does she say a thing as I approach. I watch her, my heart acting as I recall all that we had been through together. I remember the first day I had arrived the shelter, saved by a wonderful woman by the name Caroline. A kind human that I'd never forget. When I had gotten to the shelter, Eleanor had been one of the sheltered women who had been introduced to me. I had known as soon as I saw her that

    Jenna’s POVThe laughter of the elders grates against every nerve in my body, but it’s Jordan’s raw cry that truly shatters me. The sound of his grief echoes through the chamber, cutting through the taunts and jeers like a blade. Violet’s lifeless body lies in his arms, her sacrifice an unbearable weight on all of us. “Get up, Jordan,” Jack commands, his voice cold and fierce. His hazel eyes are fixed on the elders, blazing with an anger I’ve never seen before. “She gave her life for this fight. Don’t let her sacrifice be in vain.” Jordan doesn’t respond at first, his shoulders shaking as he clings to Violet. But then, something shifts. A low growl rumbles from deep within his chest, growing louder until it fills the room. He lifts his head, his eyes no longer just filled with sorrow but something far darker—pure, unrelenting rage. When he speaks, his voice is guttural, barely human. “You’ll pay for this.” The ground beneath us trembles as Jordan rises, Violet’s body lifelessly la

Blood stains the ground, and the scent of it makes my stomach churn, but I can’t let myself falter. Jack fights with the ferocity of a true Alpha, his hazel eyes blazing as he clashes with the leader of the council. She meets his every move with a smirk, as though she’s toying with him, her power radiating in waves. Nearby, Jordan fights with an unmatched intensity, his movements fueled by both desperation and determination. He’s holding his own against a wiry elder, but I can see the strain in his stance, the exhaustion creeping into his limbs. “Jordan, fall back!” Jack shouts, his voice commanding even amidst the chaos. But Jordan doesn’t retreat. He presses on, his strikes fierce but reckless. I can’t blame him—his daughter had not only betrayed her own pack but had been chained and kept
