Chapter 55

|| ELINDA's POV ||

The following morning, the sun crept in through the window, casting golden streaks on the wooden cottage floor. I had not slept much, my mind still weighed down by everything that had happened in the North. The argument with Alberto, the slap, Alexis's declaration that I was his—it all lingered in my mind like a haunted melody that would not fade.

I had not seen Alexis since we got back to the island. He'd retreated to his study, as he typically did following angry shouting matches. I didn't push.

A tap at the door startled me. My heart skipped a beat as I called out, "Yes?"

The door opened and one of the guards stood before me. "Lady Elinda, your brother Alberto has come."

Alberto? My heart skipped a beat, and I stood up hastily, smoothing my dress and dabbing at my reflection. I had not seen him in what seemed like forever. For all that, Alberto was a breath of peace—one of the few people who made me feel loved.

I rushed to the principal lounge, where

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 170

    Chapter 170|| ALBERTO's POV ||I stood by the council hall window.My head was heavy with the tension from the last week, but peace never lingered for long within this damned kingdom. Before it was too late, I heard mad foot stamping outside the door before the guards flung it open.Catherine flung herself into the room without waiting for him to invite her in. "She's gone mad, Alberto!" she hissed, pacing in front of me with her fists balled up at her sides. "Clara threatened my mom. She came to our house. Said we were covering something!"I did not accept it initially. I watched her face instead. "Just. seemed?" I said carelessly, folding my arms."Yes!" Catherine burst out, then crossed her eyes and said, "I insist that she be punished. This sort of thing cannot be tolerated, even from your. favorite."The way she said "favorite" did not escape me. "Did she hurt anyone?" I asked."No," she answered after a moment, "but threatening to hurt Luna's mother is more than enough, don't

    Chapter 169|| CLARA'S POV ||The air was crisp in the mornings, the sort of air that cleared the mind—today was no exception. Today, my head throbbed with questions I had been unable to purge any longer. The previous two nights I had been going over every memory, every whisper, every glance exchanged during council meetings. The compact between our pack and Catherine's—it couldn't have been what they claimed it was. And I'd had enough of being the only one kept in the dark.I found Mikhail in his study, his back to me, hunched over his messy desk. I had no time for niceties. "Was there a deal between our pack and Catherine's?" My voice cut through the silence like a cutlass.He did not blink. "Yes," he said matter-of-factly. "There was.""So it is true," I complained, pacing back and forth in front of his desk slowly. "You've been working with Catherine's relatives.""Not behind yours, Clara," he answered firmly. "We all agreed on it. You were. not there when the decision was made

    Chapter 168 || CLARA'S POV ||I shoved the door open.There he was.Alberto Sinclair. Alpha of the Central Territory. He who once swore to protect me from all things, even him.He looked up at me, taken aback at first, then contained. His silver eyes held that same weightiness. But not me. I caught a flicker of something else there. Guilt? Shock? Perhaps even remorse. It was gone before it had a chance to form."Clara." He stood, smoothing his jacket as if he was going into combat. "Didn't expect to see you.""Clearly." I pushed inside, shutting the door behind me. "You've been busy. Stealing my shipments with your men? You might have at least had the respect to send a notification."He waved toward the chair in front of his desk. "Sit.""I didn't come to sit."He breathed but didn't push. He leaned against the lip of his desk, arms crossed. "Your last three tracks were abducted. We found illegal weapons.""They weren't mine.""They were hidden under the bolts of cloth bound for the

    Chapter 167|| ALEXIS'S POV ||I was fastening the last button on my shirt when I heard the gentle knock on the door to my chamber." Come in," I said without raising my head.Lysa slipped in quietly. Her robe was still cinched tight at her waist, her blond hair falling in loose waves, slightly tousled from sleep. But her eyes—they were wide, too bright, and they were full of something I didn't want to handle." You must go to the Werewolf Academy today," she whispered. "They're waiting to hear your decision about the new recruits."I nodded once. "I know. I was just about to go out."She did not step back. I could feel her eyes boring into my back like a pressure. "It's been five years," she said suddenly, her voice strained. "Five years since we were wedded. And your wolf still hasn't marked me."I stiffened. Not again.She took a cautious step closer. "Do you have any idea how that feels, Alexis? To be your official wife and still not be claimed by the very soul that's supposed to

    Chapter 166|| Elinda's POV ||I pushed the apartment door shut behind us, tugging Elias along by the arm. He didn't resist, but the air around us hummed with tension. My heart still pounded from what I'd witnessed. People had been looking. Whispering. His eyes had changed—twice. The flash of Alpha gold, burning like wildfire where it had no right to be."What the hell was that, Elias?" I spat, spinning to face him.He twisted his arm free, his jaw clenched, that same wild glint burning behind his irises. "They were bothering Cora. I didn't do anything wrong.""You didn't—" I nearly choked on the words. "You used Alpha power. On humans. In front of everyone!""It wasn't like that! I just… I felt it. I couldn't stop it."I stared at him, my breath catching in my throat. His pupils dilated, and for a brief moment, his eyes shone that strange golden color again. Then just as quickly, they normalized. My chest tightened.Twice. That was the third time today."Elias… " I whispered, my voic

    Chapter 165|| Alberto's POV ||The rain had already gone. I stood motionless on the porch as Clara's figure disappeared down the winding path, her steps disappearing until all I could hear was a distant echo in my mind. I let her go. I did not call out to her. I just stood there, hands clenched into fists in my fists, watching the woman I once trusted walk away from me.Catherine stood beside me. I could feel the pressure of her gaze on me but she said nothing until we reached the car. We sat down in the soft leather seats, and when the engine burst into life, the silence between us thickened. My knuckles gripped the steering wheel as I pulled out of the driveway. The rain had stopped, but inside the car, the tension lay.Halfway along the road, Catherine finally spoke, her tone quiet, almost hesitant. "Five years, Alberto." She looked out the window, not at me. "When are we ever going to have our mating ceremony?"I didn't respond immediately. What she was saying wasn't a surprise t
