Ashley's POV

My breath hitched against the cold air of the throne chamber even before I could form words. Jayden's jaw had already clenched, more like he felt that my return wasn't good at all.

"What's the matter Ashley?" he managed to ask, taking steps towards me. "I was just leav–"

"The kids are gone Jayden," I replied, cutting him short and eating up some distance between us.

Jayden's teeth flashed as quickly as his eyes turned blood red. "Who took them?!"

I swallowed down my panic in an attempt to make my lungs steady. "Rhea wasn't there, the boys gone too. No trackers were left, not even a fucking scent!"

"Bloody hell," Jayden whispered as he began to walk the length of the chamber, pacing like a predator measuring distance. But really he was thinking hard and fast, and his fist curled so tight the knuckles shone white.

"Let's get things straightened up," I started, as I too began to pace around the room. "No one knew about the Secret Cave, right?"

No reply.

"Jayden?!"

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 257

    Ashley's POVThe weight of the van keys pressed against my palm like they were forged from lead, heavier than it had the right to be. Jayden's hands too had lingered for too long as he gave them to me,more like he was reluctant to sever the last tether between us,and when he finally did,his eyes said it all. Come back to me.Now, I was just a shadow slipping through the halls of the packhouse on my way to the garage. The hood swallowed my face, the black fabric blending quite perfectly into the dim corridors as I glided past. I could hear the distant hum of the ceremony–cheers,chants, and voices of drunk folks who had no idea that I was still alive. Every sound reminded me that the stage had been set, and Jayden was about to play his role. His forced role.The first camera blinked red above the corner of the hallway, it's mechanical eye sweeping slow arcs and causing me to drop low. My breath cut, and I shifted into my wolf form. Once on four paws, I melted into the darkness, each

    Ella's POVHeavy footsteps echoed behind me as soon as I crossed the field. I froze, the silk hem of my gown making a swishing sound as I turned around in a quick snap of pure fury. My voice came even before my eyes could confirm anything. "Now what the fuck do you want, Vag–" I stopped cold. It wasn't Vagmos. Luther. He stood there, towering and broad shoulders with an unreadable expression. He looked nothing like the other warriors who stood by the sides of the large field, or the careless Oakwood werewolves still laughing at the MC's circus. His eyes was locked with mine as soon as they met, calm and full of confidence, as though it had been waiting for this very moment. "Well, spill it Luther!" I barked, the fury of a thousand thoughts still sharp in my tongue. Luther was visibly unmoved by this, as he only took a confident step closer to me. His calm composure was almost insulting."From the look of things,my lady, you're quite... disorganized and alot anxious. Jayden's n

    Ashley's POV "Oh Jayden," I moaned beneath my breath as his thumbs lingered against my nipples for a moment longer. But I shifted, tugging my hood back over my head as I straightened up from the throne. The night was far spent. With hunger still raw in Jayden's eyes, he watched me, though his hands finally dropped away as he bent to gather how own clothes. Piece by piece, we both got dressed, our motion synchronized in a way. It struck me that, despite all the time we've spent here, he still looked utterly unbothered that the guests would surely have started murmuring by now.His entire focus was still here, with me. And that was a good thing, for he was slowly erasing Ella's lustful grip from his body bit by bit. "You're good?" He asked me as he buckled the last strap, then turned fully towards me with a steady and piercing gaze. "Yes," I replied, looking into his eyes. "All is good." "David should have left for the mission already." "Yes, he should have," I nodded. "And I ne

    Ella's POVThe master of ceremony strutted about the platform, a seasoned jester he was. "Ah, our last war with the Sentinels," he bellowed, his arms wide as he painted the memory in the air. "What a glorious mess it was, with wolves tripping over their own tails and warriors fighting their very shadows instead of the real enemy! And don't get me started on the haunts, for even our finest trackers mistook a donkey for a stray werewolf!" This caused the crowd to erupt with laughter, the sound rolling in waves all through the arena. He continued, cracking another joke about a rogue who ran headfirst into a tree mid-battle. The audience responded again, clapping and stamping, as they were drunk in his spectacle and jest. Me? Not in the least. Every word and chuckle grated against my skin. My lips didn't curve, not even in the faintest manner. The Signing ceremony was one I believed to be sacred and between the elders, warriors, and royal blood of the pack. But father didn't see it th

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 252

    Ella's POVThe field was already fully alive with fire and frenzy when I stepped into it. The artificial lights had been put off and replaced instead with ancient torchlight, silks and banners trailing like tongues of flame as the air thrummed with raw energy. Werewolves filled the expanse, their eyes glowing with the unique colors of their wolves beneath the half lit sky. In the wide arena, just at the center, the side events began. A young male stepped forward, one I took to be a delta wolf, and tilting his head backward a bit, he exhaled a wild plume of fire that lit up the night like a dragon's breath. Then his eyes shone purple, giving a hint of the wolf behind this unique ability. The crowd roared it's approval, some stomping their feet while other howled in pure delight. Having such a wolf that converted energy into raw fire was rare in this part of the werewolf world, as such was utilized a great deal in times of war. But this wasn't all, as another round followed, this ti
