Chapter 89

|| Elinda's POV ||

The clapping palms of the crowd, the flowers, Alaric's soft smile—these all disappeared into the past for me as I boarded the boat. My heart never dwelled inside those walls.It stayed with him.

Alexis.

Sea air stung my face, but nothing could shake the guilt burning beneath my skin. I shouldn't be doing this. Tonight, of all nights. After accepting another mate before the council mere hours before. But the image of Alexis—sick, alone, possibly dying on that island—called me like a moth to flame. No cause, no royal duties, not even the mate bond could keep me away.

The instant the boat docked at the Dark Crescent island's dock, I ran. My heels hit wet soil, and the wind tore through my hair.I did not wait for a servant or for leave. I burst through the entrance and flew up the stairs two steps at a time.

"Princess!" Lysa's voice echoed in warning as she appeared at the head of the stairs, arms out to hold me back. "You can't go in! Alpha must have rest—

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 166

    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

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 165

    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

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   Chapter 164

    || CLARA’S POV ||Five years ago, I had been nothing but a bargaining chip, a whispered threat, a secret hidden behind the strength of men who thought they owned me. Five years ago, I had watched Mikhail’s pack tear itself apart while I smiled sweetly and pretended to be small.Now, they bowed to me.I stood at the head of the grand meeting hall, my fingers trailing lightly along the smooth oak table that Mikhail once slammed his fists upon to silence dissent. Tonight, he stood behind me, silent as a grave, eyes vacant and waiting for my command. My hypnotic hold on him was more than just power—it was my triumph. I had twisted the Alpha into my loyal hound.The pack had gathered, their eyes flicking between Mikhail and me, their confusion a living thing that hung in the air like fog. They had come expecting him. They left remembering me.I could almost taste their disbelief. It tasted like victory.When I spoke, my voice coiled around the room—soft, yet impossible to ignore. I laid ou

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 163

    Chapter 163|| Elinda's POV ||I sat in the cold, harsh chair before the teacher, my fists clenched tightly at the base of my coat. The silence in the room was so heavy it pressed against my body. I had thought it was just another complaint, another fight maybe. Boys fight, particularly boys with our background. But the way the teacher had called me in… was unusual this time, the persistent in her voice, the tenseness when she had welcomed me to the school gate—it had warned me that something was wrong this time. And I was right.She indicated the monitor beside her and pushed a button. The CCTV footage sprang to life. It was a quiet corridor initially, the normal chaos of adolescent boys—shouldering one another, grinning, goading. And then I saw him. My son. My baby, standing in their midst with his shoulders set, expressionless face.Five boys stood in a semicircle around him.One of them shoved him.And then—he moved.My stomach churned. He did not just defend himself. He became so

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 162

    Chapter 162-|| CLARA'S POV||I had spent the days and nights preceding this one by myself, lost in thought, an incessant whirlpool of confusion, anger, and deep regret. Years had gone by since I had met Alberto for the first time, and yet I couldn't help but feel him moving further away every day. The healer girl was the only one who had actually understood. When I met her for the first time, she was a stranger—a girl who'd shared my agony, someone who'd experienced the same bitter destiny. She'd told me about my abilities, about what I could be if I would seize them. But she'd warned me—warned me of the consequences, of how it might spiral out of control. She'd been right, of course. But I had lost control long before today. I had nothing to lose anymore. I had already made up my mind.The power that had coursed through me wasn't just my ability; it was my weapon, my shield against the world. I'd learned to control it, to bend brains to my will. It was dangerous, yes. But it was th

  • Hunted By My Rejected Mate   chapter 161

    Chapter 161 || CLARA'S POV ||For the very first time ever since I had met him, Mikhail looked afraid of me.He wasn't shouting. He wasn't even smirking that he always did whenever I attempted to stand my ground against him. He was just standing there—completely shocked—his eyes locked with mine, opened in something between horror and fear. The sheen of the spell I'd cast hovered on the air, shimmering like dust caught in the moonlight, and I could feel the energy still lingering in my fingers. My heart was racing, and my breathing was harsh, but I wasn't trembling anymore.Not because I was afraid, anyway."Mikhail…" I said his name, reaching out instinctively.He jerked away.I let my hand go immediately and turned my face aside, blushing. "I didn't want it to happen like this," I murmured. "I didn't want you to find out like this."He didn't say anything. Not at first.Finally, he gasped in sharply and spoke, low and exhausted. "What was, Clara?"I hesitated. How could I possibly
