ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 17: PRISON VISITS
ROSALINE’S POV: "What?" The word left my lips like a whisper.No.This could not be happening.Two guards appeared by my side and grabbed me by the arms, but I was not having it. I struggled against them before meeting Damien’s cold gray eyes."No! I did not do anything to the food; you have to believe me! What would I gain by poisoning children?" I asked, but no one appeared to believe my words. But I meant every word; even if it were the child of my worst enemy, I would never do such a thing. A woman holding her pale daughter in her arms spoke next, and something told me that if not for the guards that were already dragging me away, I would have received a deadly beating from her.From all of them."Shut up! You are just an evil, bitter woman. Perhaps the moon goddess did not provide you with children of your own; that was why you wanted to do something so despicable." She spat, and her words hurt beyond belief.But I dared not say anything.I couldn’t.How do I tell them? I have
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 18: A LOYAL TRAITOR
DAMIEN’S POV: What a disappointment.A nasty scowl has been on my face ever since the incident at the central park. I could not get it off, no matter how hard I tried. My mood was just sour, and it was all her fault. Maybe I was wrong about her.Maybe my father was right; I never should have put her in this situation. Because of me, over a hundred children are in the hospital, severely ill.I made her a contestant in these games because I knew she wouldn’t like it, but I did not know she was capable of going this far just to get kicked out. I mean, poisoning children—that was absolutely diabolical; even I could not think of doing such a thing. It made me wonder: why did she not poison us yesterday when she had the chance? Probably because she was being watched carefully and all the ingredients were provided solely by our staff.Today we just let them do whatever they wanted, however they wanted; they w
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 19: HER TEARS
DAMIEN’S POV:The metallic scent of blood filled my nostrils, some of them being Maya's, but the majority belonged to the dying bastard in my hands."Mercy, please," the guard wheezed as I tightened my grip on his neck, making his chokes fill the air. It took every ounce of self-restraint in me not to snap his neck. My canines had lengthened, and I could see the guard’s reddening face through my wolf’s eyes."What the fuck were you trying to do to her?" I demanded, but he remained silent, which only aggravated me more. I took his wrist in my hand, and a sickening snap filled the air, followed by his cries of pain."Fuck! Someone sent me to kill her, okay?!" He screamed, my hand still on his throat, cutting off his air supply. I flung him to the other two guards standing by the door, and they held both of his arms."I will deal with you later," I said before directing my furious gaze to the others. "I will deal with all of you later. Lock him up," I growled before scooping Maya’s tre
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 20: WORTH PROTECTING
ROSALINE’S POV:My eyelids fluttered softly, and I noticed that I was in an entirely different room. The bed I laid on was a lot more comfortable than the one allocated to me as well; it was light and soft. It was almost like I was lying on a bunch of fluffy clouds.Where was I? How did I end up here?I tried to sit up but groaned a bit when a sharp sting struck my hand. I hissed as I brought up my hand to see that it was wrapped in a bandage. I looked at it in confusion. What happened to me? That was when I saw him.Damien.He was sitting on a chair opposite me; he had his head bowed and his limbs sprayed out in front of him. His back was a bit arched too; he did not look comfortable at all. My eyebrows furrowed with confusion. Why was he sleeping on a chair and I on this heavenly bed?Something irritable filled my nostrils, and I could only identify it as blood. My eyes traveled downwards to see that the other side of his sheets was covered in blood. Not only that, but I had a change
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 21: THE HEARING
ROSALINE’S POV:I brought out my wrists and watched as the guards cuffed them along with my ankles. I swear they wanted to put one around my neck, but Damien’s growl had them immediately abandoning that idea. They came to get me from his room, and we were both changed now. Damien came to stand before me, taking my face in his hands and looking at me with so much intensity that my knees were growing weak."Everything is going to be alright, I promise." He said, and despite the pounding in my chest, I felt comfort in his words. I gave him a single nod before he took a step away from me. He signalled for the guards to take me away. He met my eyes one last time and said, "I will be there soon. I need to do something quickly."His statement had my eyebrows creasing, and worry was washing over me like a tsunami. "Where are you going?" I asked him, not bothering to hide the fear in my voice. I hated how I was depending on him for protection, but what choice did I have? He met my eyes an
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 22: AN ALPHA’S SHAME
ROSALINE’S POV:I never thought I would be so happy to hear that voice again. I have never felt so much relief before in my life. Honestly, I could cry right about now. I felt my chains come undone, and I was lifted off the guillotine. I was wrapped in a familiar pair of muscular arms, and Damien’s heavenly scent filled my nostrils. I could not help but bury my face into his chest and the tears that spilt out of my eyes."What is the meaning of this insult, Damien? Have you completely lost your mind? You are getting in the way of justice!" The alpha king snapped, and I could hear him getting nearer and nearer. Damien’s arms tightened around me protectively."Justice? This is anything but justice! You were just about to take the life of an innocent woman!" Damien roared; his voice echoed in the wind, and the people began to whisper among themselves."Innocent? All arrows point to her as the culprit. You can’t make such judgments based on your feelings, my boy." The alpha shot back, a
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 23: ARIANA’S LIFE
ROSALINE’S POV:I wrapped my face, neck, and head with one of my midnight black scarves as I made my way out the kitchen door. I kept my eyes wide and alert as I looked in every direction before sprinting deep into the courtyard. I would occasionally hide behind trees when I caught sight of a guard coming.I remember seeing a tree that was oddly close to the fence. I could use it to go over the fence and get out of here. It was almost impossible to see in the dark, but when I found the tree, I felt a sense of relief. I made sure to search my surroundings before climbing the thick chunk of wood; luckily, it was just about the same height as the fence.I said a silent prayer before jumping off the tree and landing at the very tip of the fence. My arms flailed in all directions as I tried to regain my balance. When I did, I released a sigh of relief. There was a small shrub directly beneath me, and I felt my heart pound widely against my chest. I shut my eyes and reminded myself why
ALPHA'S REJECTED BRIDE: HIDING HIS BABY CHAPTER 24: A MADDENNING DISAPPEARANCE
DAMIEN’S POV: Few hours earlier…."Just who the fuck do you think you are?"I rolled my eyes at my father’s words before placing my chin on my fist. My elbow was perched on the table as I watched my old man pace back and forth. We were both in his room with my mother; he wanted to have this meeting where he knew absolutely no one could hear us or interrupt us.I just wanted this to be over so I could get back to Maya. I really was not comfortable leaving her alone for too long. Not because I was scared something would happen to her while I was away, just because I physically could not be away from her for too long.Even if I did not mean to, I always found my feet moving to wherever she was. My body called out to her, and my wolf did as well. It was a weird connection I could not explain, and I did not want to."Are you even listening to me?" My father’s enraged voice interrupted my blissful thoughts, and I wanted to groan. How annoying could this man be?"Huh?" I said, I honestly
