*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 everyt

  • His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha   Chapter 57

    *Adele's point of view*I couldn’t say anything. Not because I didn’t want to. But because I genuinely didn’t know what to say.How do you respond to something like that?How do you sit there, look at the man you love, and process the fact that the same hands that once hurt you had endured something so much worse?My chest felt tight.How could a father be that cruel?Mine was horrible and manipulative, twisted in his own disgusting ways. But this? This was something else entirely. Something darker, something that made my stomach churn in such a way that a small, bitter thought crossed my mind.If he were still alive, I would’ve killed him myself.“Say something.” Demarion’s quiet, almost desperate voice broke through my thoughts, quiet.I blinked, realizing how long I had been silent. My eyes lifted to his and I caught the hint of fear in his eyes, the kind that came from waiting to be judged. Waiting to be rejected. My heart squeezed painfully. I swallowed, forcing words out of my m

  • 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

    *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

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

    *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 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

    *Adele’s point of view*I had been standing outside the Alpha’s office for at least five minutes now. Maybe more.Time felt strangely slow when my nerves were involved. Seconds stretched, dragged, crawled. Oxygen felt scarce, the hallway felt too quiet, the silence pressing against my ears like it

    *Adele's point of view* We stayed like that for several long seconds. Neither of us saying anything. Just making eye contact and breathing unevenly.The silence stretched, thick and heavy. It felt like the air itself was watching us. I did not know what was running through his mind, but I forced m

    *Adele's point of view* The day came faster than I expected.Before I knew it, I was sitting in the passenger seat of his car, watching the forest blur past as we drove toward my old pack territory.The silence inside the car was suffocating.Not necessarily peaceful or comforting.

    *Adele's point of view* So far the road trip had been painfully quiet. Didn't mean it was peaceful. But it was just… empty.The kind of silence that made every small movement sound louder than it should. There was the hum of the engine, the tires rolling against the hard road, his slow breathing,
