*Adele's point of view*

The next morning, the warmth of sunlight brushing against my face slowly pulled me from sleep.

My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the soft glow filtering through the window. For a moment, everything felt calm and peaceful.

Then, a few minutes later, I heard movement. I turned my head slightly. Demarion stirred on the couch. He sat up slowly, his brows furrowed in confusion, like he had forgotten where he was.

Then his eyes found me and he smiled. Just a small smile lik

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 56

    *Demarion's point of view*Thick and heavy silence filled the room. I stared ahead, unmoving because even now, I could still feel every single lash.“And just like that, I was stripped.”Even now, saying it out loud made something inside me tighten. I kept my eyes away from her. I couldn’t look at her while I said this.“I was left in nothing but my boxers,” I continued, my voice low, calm only because I forced it to be. “They tied my hands above me, stretched up against the post.”The memory came back too easily and too vividly.“And everyone was there,” I said. “I mean everyone.”I swallowed.“Children, elders, warriors, the entire pack.” My jaw tightened. “They made sure no one missed it.”I exhaled slowly through my nose.“If I’m being honest, the first lash was the worst.” My fingers curled slightly against my palm. “It came out of nowhere.”I could still feel it.“I wasn’t ready for it. Not in my head, not in my body, not anywhere.” My shoulders tensed as the phantom pain crawle

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 55

    *Demarion's point of view*My eyes stayed on Adele as she sat there quietly, her gaze lowered. She didn’t speak, didn’t move. Instead, she looked so deep in thought that it scared me.Because whatever was going on in her mind, I had a feeling it wasn’t good.I swallowed hard.I’m such an idiot.The thought hit me like a punch. All of this, everything that happened, it was because of me. I shut everyone out, drowned in my own head and in the process I hurt the one person I was supposed to protect.The one person I was supposed to love.My chest tightened painfully. I crossed the line with her more than once. Maybe coming here was a mistake. Maybe I should’ve stayed away. She hates me, she has to.My jaw clenched.Maybe I should just say it. Tell her to reject me. If she does, the bond will break and she’ll be free, free from me. I could pass the pack to Kade. He deserved it.He would be a better Alpha than I ever was. Stronger, more stable and more deserving. A bitter breath left my ch

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 54

    *Adele's point of view*My heart broke as soon as the words left Demarion’s mouth."But I got past it," Demarion said. "I went back to smiling and being that joyful kid again."I held onto that small piece of hope, until he said his next words."Until I grew older."And my stomach dropped."And I asked again. And that's when my father snuffed it out."My breath hitched."Just like he destroyed his mother, he destroyed my happiness."I looked at him now, really looked at him, and suddenly everything made sense. "You stopped smiling," I whispered softly.He didn't look at me."You stopped helping..." I continued, my voice cracking slightly. "And you stopped being you."The silence between us felt heavier than ever. Then he continued."When Leia finished tending to me that day... she got ready to leave." He ran a hand through his hair. "And I stopped her."His voice softened again."I asked her if she could tell me more about my mom." A small warmth flickered in his expression. "And she

For a moment, everything felt calm and peaceful.Then, a few minutes later, I heard movement. I turned my head slightly. Demarion stirred on the couch. He sat up slowly, his brows furrowed in confusion, like he had forgotten where he was.Then his eyes found me and he smiled. Just a small smile like he was still sleepy. But it was a genuine smile. And for a second, it made my chest feel lighter.He looked like he wanted to say something. His lips parted slightly, but before he could speak, the door suddenly opened. Diana walked in, balancing a tray of food."Good morning, Luna. Here is your—" She froze mid-step and her eyes widened. "Oh my! Alpha? What are you doing here?" she exclaimed, clearly startled.I couldn't help the small smile that tugged at my lips."He came to see me last nigh

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 52

    *Demarion’s point of view*I stood at the edge of the cliff that marked the far boundary of my pack’s territory.The forest stretched endlessly below me, a sea of dark green treetops swaying gently beneath the wind. From up here the world looked quiet and peaceful. Just a little too peaceful.The kind of peace that mocked the storm raging inside my chest. I came here often as a boy, whenever my father’s voice echoed too loudly in my head or whenever the walls of the castle felt suffocating. Standing here now, the wind brushing across my face, I almost felt that same calm again.Almost.But the calm never lasted. Not with the weight crushing my heart, my mind and my soul. I hadn’t seen my mate since the day I walked out of her hospital room. Four days. Four days of avoiding her, four days of telling myself she didn’t want to see me anyway.Maybe she hated me.Honestly, I wouldn’t blame her. I had marked her. Not out of love or out of devotion, but out of fear, out of anger and out of j

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 51

    *Adele's point of view*The thoughts lingered in my mind longer than I expected. Then slowly and painfully, a realization began forming. Neither Demarion nor I had grown up with love. Not the kind of love people write about in stories. Not the kind that teaches you patience, trust, and warmth. We both literally grew up learning how to survive instead.I had spent my life yearning for love, dreaming of it and hping that one day I would find a mate who would give it to me freely.Demarion, on the other hand, had spent his entire life being taught that love was weakness, something dangerous and something that could destroy him.And when he finally found it, when he found me, he was just as afraid as I was. Maybe even more. He didn’t want to lose it but I didn’t want to ruin it either. I had been terrified that if I made the wrong move, I would break the fragile bond between us.And yet…Maybe he had tried to reach out to me after all. Maybe I had simply failed to see it. When he told me

    *Demarion's point of view* Adele stood frozen in front of me.She did not move. She barely breathed. Her eyes stayed locked on mine, wide and unsure, like a cornered deer that did not know which way to run.The sight of her made my chest tighten.I hated it.I looked down at her and felt it again,

    *Adele's point of view* "Good night, Diana. See you on Monday!" I called out with a bright smile, lifting my hand in a small wave as I stepped out of the clinic doors. The cool air brushed my face, and the smell of antiseptic slowly faded behind me. The moment I looked up and saw James waiting, my

    *Adele's point of view* A rough shake dragged me out of sleep.I groaned and pushed at the hand. "Okay, okay. I am awake. Relax."Demarion's hand fell away, but his stare did not. His eyes locked onto mine, cold and sharp. The air between us tightened. It felt like a challenge. Or a silent battle
