I Rejected My Alpha Mate, Now He Wants Me Back [25]
ELENAFor the first time in years, my life was beginning to feel predictable.My mornings started with breakfast, followed by my writing assignments or lessons. I attended my medical appointments, kept track of my symptoms, and rested whenever my body demanded it. The treatment Dr. Hayes had recommended was still being monitored closely, and although I hadn’t experienced any dramatic improvement, I was learning not to measure every day by how strong or weak I felt.My writing had also begun to bring in a little money. It wasn’t enough to support me and my baby, but each completed assignment made the future seem slightly less frightening.Alec visited regularly, usually with some excuse that fooled neither of us. Sometimes he brought groceries. Other times, he simply wanted to know how I was doing.I appreciated his concern, especially because he never treated my independence as an insult.That evening, we sat on my porch while he complained about a meeting with the pack’s supply manag

AIDENThe boy slept peacefully in Sarah’s arms while Aiden struggled to concentrate on the documents spread across his desk.Three days had passed since the heir announcement, yet the uneasiness he had felt during the ceremony refused to disappear. He had expected the declaration to settle the elders’ arguments about succession. Instead, it had left him with questions he couldn’t explain.Perhaps it was the pressure of Elena’s disappearance. Perhaps he was simply exhausted.Whatever the reason, he was tired of feeling as though he had forgotten something important.“You’re not listening to me.”Sarah’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.He looked up. She stood beside his desk, holding their son against her chest. The boy was awake now, his tiny fingers curled around the edge of her dress.“What did you say?” Aiden asked.Sarah’s expression tightened. “I said the elders want us to arrange a formal presentation for our son before the allied packs. They believe the announcement should b

The first thing I learned about treatment was that it didn’t make everything better overnight.Three days after my appointment with Dr. Hayes, I still woke up tired. My wolf remained weak, and the occasional discomfort in my chest reminded me that agreeing to treatment hadn’t magically erased the uncertainty surrounding my health.Some mornings were easier than others. On the difficult ones, I had to remind myself that progress didn’t always feel like progress.That morning was one of the difficult ones.I sat at the kitchen table with a half-finished cup of tea, staring at the writing exercise on my laptop. I had planned to spend two hours practising before searching for remote writing opportunities, but fatigue had made even opening the document feel like work.A knock sounded at the door.When I opened it, Alec stood on the porch with a paper bag in one hand.“You look like you’re about to declare war on your laptop,” he said.“I might. It has been very uncooperative.”“Have you tr

SARAHThe abandoned building stood beyond the main settlement of Lycan territory, far enough from the busy roads that nobody had any reason to pass it after dark. Its broken windows and crumbling walls made it look forgotten, but Sarah knew better than to mistake an empty place for a safe one.She stepped inside, pulling her coat closer around herself. The air smelled of dust and damp wood, and a single lantern illuminated the figure waiting near the far wall.“You took your time,” the hooded man said.“I had to make sure nobody followed me.”“And did anyone?”“No.” Sarah’s irritation sharpened. “Must you question everything I do?”“When the consequences of your mistakes could destroy us both, yes.”She clenched her jaw but held her tongue. She needed him, regardless of how much she disliked his attitude. He was the only person who understood the full extent of what they had done to secure her position.And now, at last, their efforts were paying off.“Aiden officially acknowledged my

ELENALiving in my little house had taught me that independence was both freeing and exhausting. I had to manage my expenses, keep up with my medical appointments, and find a way to earn money without knowing whether my writing would ever become a reliable source of income.Still, every morning, I sat at my kitchen table with my laptop and notebook, determined to improve.For five years, most of my identity had revolved around being Aiden’s Luna. Now, without the title or the marriage, I sometimes struggled to answer a simple question.Who was I when I wasn’t trying to be enough for someone else?I didn’t know yet, but I was determined to find out.That morning, I was collecting supplies at the community centre when a woman stopped me.“You’re Elena, aren’t you? Blood Moon’s Luna?”“Former Luna,” I corrected.“I heard you disappeared. Alpha Aiden has been searching everywhere for you.” Her gaze sharpened. “And Alpha Alec is helping you hide?”“I’m staying in a house that belongs to Si

AIDEN“Nothing?”I stared at Damon across my desk.My Beta sighed. “We’ve questioned the guards, checked the roads, and spoken to everyone who might have seen Elena leave. No one can confirm where she went after crossing the eastern checkpoint.”“Then question them again.”“Aiden—”“Alpha,” I snapped.Damon’s expression tightened. “Martha Evans insists she drove to visit a relative that night. She denies helping Elena escape, but I believe she’s protecting someone.”“She was protecting Elena.” I stood and walked toward the window. “Find out who she visited and where she went. Someone must have seen her vehicle.”“Yes, Alpha.”“And contact the neighbouring packs again. Offer a reward for credible information.”Damon hesitated. “The announcement has already attracted attention. A reward might encourage false reports.”“Then verify them before bringing them to me.”He nodded but didn’t leave.“Is there something else?”“Have you considered that Elena might not want to be found?”My jaw t
