Ashley’s POV

Liam’s gaze swept across the room, briefly studying each face before finally landing on Jayden. A faint smirk appeared on his lips as he took a calm, purposeful step forward. The silence in the room felt thick, loaded with hidden tension and unfinished business.

“Jayden,” Liam said smoothly, his voice laced with arrogance. “Looks like your night’s not going so well.”

Jayden’s face stayed unreadable, but I could feel how tense he was. His eyes locked onto Liam’s, sharp and intense. “Liam,” he replied, his voice quiet but firm. “What brings you here?”

“You damn well know why I’m here!!” Liam snapped, quickly moving with his warriors through the crowd until they reached Zane’s lifeless body.

I noticed a flicker of shock in Liam’s eyes as he knelt beside his father, placing his fingers on Zane’s neck to check for a pulse.

“What did you do, Jayden?” he whispered, lifting his eyes slowly to meet Jayden’s.

Jayden stepped away from me and approached him, and I could feel the air

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 222

    Ella's POV The hunger to unmask this stranger burned through me like a wild fire, and without thinking twice, I lunged forward. I felt the thick air of the corridor as my fingers brushed the coarse edge of the hood.But just at that moment–a motion, swift as lightning. The stranger had spun around with lethal precision, and before my wolf could even grasp the situation, a solid strike had landed square across my face. What speed!The stranger's hood still hung in my hand as white exploded in my vision. Then came the pain. It shot straight into my eyes just as a harsh gasp tore from my throat. My fingers instantly abandoned the hood and snapped upward to my face, more like it was to shield myself from the pain that crawled inside my skull. "Argh–!" My knees buckled, and the world tilted, becoming a sick blur of stone walls and flickering lamps. By the time I forced my eyes open even a fraction, I caught only the faintest shimmer of movement ahead–the hood slipping into the dark and

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 221

    Ella's POVI left the car I had driven into the cave, slipping into another one that was parked along the gravel path. My fingers gripped the steering wheel firmly, and the engine purred to life. But a hand pressed against the window. "Spend the night here," father said, his face grim and a bit troubled. I shook my head. "I can't. I have to get back to Jayden and begin..." I let my lips curl in a smile as I looked away from him, "... fucking him." I saw him crack for the first time that night, his eyes flashing with something raw, a sort of displeasure that was far from fatherly. I had seen it before and I knew that face perfectly. It wasn't the fact that his daughter was about to fuck her way to power that troubled him, no. It was the thought that I was to deny him sex. To give it to Jayden, albeit for the goal of snatching power from him.This realization of his selfishness, as always, twisted my gut. And for just a fleeting moment, I wished that somehow I had known my mother.

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 220

    Jayden's POVThe growl I let out still lingered in the air as the High Elder stumbled on a seat nearby, his composure severely fractured. I watched his finger twitch against the chair's arms, the pride of his old wolf clearly bruised without measure. From the corner of my eye, I caught Ashley's glance. Her hood shifted just for a second as she stole a glance at me. It was just enough for her to see my firm nod. A silent permission for her to leave. Quicky nodding back in understanding, she turned and slipped toward the door in a swift and precise movement. With a muted click, the door was pulled shut, and she vanished into the shadows beyond. "You... you shouldn't have ordered me in such a manner, not before that stranger," the high elder mentioned, finally finding his tongue. "Who was that anyways?"I gave no immediate reply to this, instead I sunk my head deeper into the pillows as I let myself deliberately relax. I knew how uneasy he felt at that moment, and I was greatly please

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 219

    Ashley's POV"How did the other healers not ask for your face to be revealed?" Jayden asked, sitting up a little. I gave no reply to this, my fingers only lingering on the monitor. I avoided his eyes though I felt it boring into me. "Ashley?" I still said nothing, instead I turned back slowly and moved towards him. Standing by his bedside, I was close enough to touch him, but I still kept my eyes away from his. "You could be–" "David's been running around... on my request," I interrupted, the words tumbling out. "What? How?" I inhaled deeply. "He still happen to have loyalists around, so they help him with the information he needs. But no one knows our location. That's why he had to leave–" Jayden grip clamped around my wrist, firm and almost fierce, and this cut me short. My head whipped around in complete shock and my eyes colliding with his. The eyes I had desperately tried to avoid. "Why?" he growled. I could feel the overpowering presence of his alpha wolf, and it strong

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 218

    Ella's POVMy room swallowed me whole the moment I stepped in, it's quiet pulling me tighter than the silence of the hall ever did. My eyes flicked towards the tall mirror at the far end of the room, my steps carrying me there even before I realised it. Staring at my reflection, my hand drifted slowly downwards and stopping at my stomach. This was my secret. Mine alone. No one would know, for now. I tore my gaze away from the mirror and turned sharply toward the bed. My cells phone rested perfectly on the sheets like it had been waiting for me. Snatching it up, I double tapped on the screen, noting an encrypted message box. I knew who sent it, and after decoding the message with special access keys, bold letters stared at my face:'Strange healer on hood granted private access to the Alpha.'"Strange healer?" I muttered to myself, stopping for a while to ponder about it. Perhaps it was a healer that specialized on burns and wolf recovery. Damn, it could be anybody. That shouldn't

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 217

    Ella's POVMy eyes widened so much that I felt they might fall out, and my breath was simply stuck in my throat. "Y–you... framed her death?" I stammered, my voice breaking into a whisper and my heart pounding so violently that I swore they all could hear it. My chest raged with fire. "All of this.. just to bring me into the picture?" Silence stretched thick after my question for a while, until it broke under father's voice. "Yes we did," he said with a calmness that seemed to burn my ears. "You were needed in the play, Ella–" "Why?" I interrupted, almost getting to my feet and I sharply leaned towards him. "Why didn't you use her for your plans, huh? Jayden loved her anyways." "Come of this Ella," father replied, his eyebrows furrowed. I knew I had gone a bit far, but I simply didn't care. "I needed you to play, and you know why. We wanted the initial desire of Jayden to be the purest. His grief needed to be raw and untamed, his yearning for comfort after losing Daisy and her ch
