Chapter 148

|| Elinda's POV ||

The night had started out so promising, but now here I was, walking hastily through the ballroom of the party, my heart pounding in my chest.

The icy stares of the reporters, who had previously been so fascinated by each step I took, now stabbed at me like dagger into my heart. They hated me.

They implied me as nothing but a puppet, dancing to the command of the Mafia. And their words, their voices, running in my head, erasing the rich tune that hummed in the background.

I had barely been able to force a smile for a few photographs, but I felt the weight of their judgment bearing down on me like a thousand-pound boulder on my shoulders. The longer the night went on, the more tension started to build up. It was as if the whole room was against me. I couldn't escape the whispers. They called me a traitor.

I had done my best to pretend that it didn't exist, to smile and take it all in stride, but it was becoming too much. The air was heavy. I felt trapped

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 147

    Chapter 147|| Alexis's POV ||It felt like I had only returned to the pack house and the storm was already at hand.I stepped into the house, the silence of the house almost suffocating as I walked through the halls. My mind was still whirling with what I had told the Mafia Pack leader, and the anger of the fight with my grandfather had not even begun to wear off. It was all too much to tolerate.As I walked towards the living room, I saw him there—Grandfather. The man who had brought me up, shaped me into the person I was, but also the man who always assumed to know what was good for me, even when he did not. His stiff posture, the tension in his shoulders, and the chill in his eyes said it all. He was waiting for me, as always, to hear his judgment.I didn't even have to utter a word before he began. His voice cut through the silence like a knife. "You're ruining yourself."My rage flared, but I kept myself in check. I couldn't afford to lose it—now. "What in the world are you talk

    Chapter 146|| ELINDA's POV ||The moment I stepped out of the hidden passage after killing them, the cold night air in my throat.Mercus was already at the car. Moonlight streamed across the hood when he quietly flung open the back door. He looked at the boy—indeed looked at him—and nodded once silently at me.All the way through the drive, the boy huddled against me, his hands grasping my cloak in a tight hold. I went on talking softly, again and again, of safety, of mothers waiting, fires and soup and warm blankets. He never uttered a word. But when I looked down, I could see that a single tear slid silently down his cheek. When we finally reached the safehouse, the world seemed to hold its breath.And then the door swung open, and the healer stumbled out. Her veil was displaced, and her hair was all in a messy knot, but none of it mattered. She looked at her son in my arms, and time stopped for her.She collapsed at our feet, sobbing, gulping. "My baby," she cried, holding him t

    CHAPTER 145|| ALBERTO'S POV ||I did not expected it.The day started just like any other. The office was bustling with activity, a buzz of emails and documents competing for attention. But all that couldn't prepare me for what happened next.Catherine's parents came rushing into my study, their expressions morphed with frustration and worry. My mother walked beside them, her posture straight, as if she already expected what was to come. I stood up, sensing the air was heavy with tension, and stepped forward."What is it?" I inquired, trying to ignore the confusion that hung around me.Mrs. Bennett's voice trembled when she talked. "Catherine is sick, Alberto. She fainted at work today. The doctor told us it's stress. But this has been going on for quite some time now. She has not been eating. She's barely been sleeping. All of this because of those pictures."I stood there in shock. The photographs. The scandal. The rumors that had been going around us for weeks. I could already sen

    Chapter 144|| ELINDA's POV ||The healer leaned on the edge of the bed, slumping her shoulders and gazing at the floor. She hadn't said a word in several minutes, and I sat patiently, aware that too much intensity would send her into shutdown mode all over again. Finally, after a strained, shaking breath, she began to speak."Kai. he's got my son," she whispered, her voice cracking. "He took him months back. I don't even know where they are keeping him anymore. That is why I did what he told me to do. That is why I placed the spell."I could sense its heaviness weighing me down inside my chest. My fists clenched at my sides. I had believed there was more to it, but hearing her confirm it made it so—and unacceptable."He used you," I breathed, taking a step forward. "He used your love as a mother against you."She nodded, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. "He knew I was capable of Spellcraft. He threatened that if I did not obey, if I ever refused, he would."She couldn't go on. He

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 143

    Chapter 143|| Alexis's POV ||The air in the dungeon smelt of mold and rusted metal. My wrists were bruised from the cold metal encircling me like a curse, and the stone beneath me sucked all heat from my body. My mind thudded with weakness, my body icy from the position I had been held in for hours, or perhaps days. Time meant nothing to me. But what plagued me more than pain or darkness was the question—what would Elinda do now to save me?Would she even try?I tried to wash the doubt away, but it clung to me stubbornly.The last thing I wanted was for her to keep hurting because of me. But deep inside of me, a weak hope whispered anyway—She'll come. She has to.The thud of footsteps echoed from the hallway outside. I straightened up, my heart racing. The clanking of heavy boots grew louder, then ceased. I listened to keys entered into the lock door.Three men emerged, towering, masked, and intimidating. I recognized them at a glance. They were the council's dogs, loyal who were t
