Chapter 6

Author: Redleaves
Kane's POV:

Kane took two steps after her, then stopped.

Drake held the elevator door for Ella, his eyes smiling.

The two of them stepped inside, and Ella never once looked back at him.

Kane clenched his fists.

In five years, she'd never ignored him like this. The pain of her rejection last night tore through his chest again.

But Drake was the Alpha of the Silver Moon pack.

A single sentence from Drake had made Kane's threats a joke.

He'd just have to wait until Drake left, then bring Ella back.

    On the day of the trial, Kane sat alone at the defendant's table.He hadn't even hired a lawyer. He pleaded guilty to the charges almost immediately.The presiding judge brought down the gavel and read the ruling."Kane will pay Ella the wages he withheld and apologize to her publicly."In addition, he will pay Ella ten million dollars in damages."Kane stood, turned to face me, and bowed deeply."I deliberately withheld your pay and caused you harm that can never be undone."He choked out, "Ella, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry."Everyone in the courtroom turned to look at me.I answered calmly, "I heard you. And there's something I want to make clear."The $30,000 is the pay I earned, and I'll take it back. But you can keep the ten million."No amount of money can bring my mother back, and it can't buy my forgiveness either."With that, I took Drake's arm and left.The moment we walked out the doors, the reporters who'd been waiting crowded around us.Microphones blocked our way, and came

    Kane's POV:By the time he came to his senses, Kane was standing outside the apartment he and Ella had shared.Lost and bewildered, he'd wandered back to the place he most wanted to be.Drake's Alpha presence still seemed to weigh on his shoulders.The pain from the night Ella rejected him surged again. He pressed a hand to his chest. He couldn't feel her wolf there anymore.The key scraped against the lock twice before it slid in.The door opened.Selena came to meet him and wrapped her arms around his waist."What took you so long? I've been waiting for you."Kane didn't respond. His eyes were unfocused.Selena frowned when she saw the check clutched in his right hand."What's this?"She pulled the check out of his hand.When she saw the amount and the signature, her face darkened."Did Ella give you this? She latches on to an Alpha, and now she thinks she can insult you with money?"She gave a cold laugh through gritted teeth. "You should've dumped a she-wolf like that long ago! And

  • I Rejected the Mate Who Let My Mother Die   Chapter 8

    A week later, Kane blocked my way outside the Silver Moon Healing Center.In just a few days, he'd grown haggard and unkempt.His wrinkled shirt clung to his chest, its collar stained with alcohol.A dark layer of stubble covered his jaw, and his eyes were bloodshot.He raised his head to look at me. "Ella, why won't you answer my calls? Why did you block me?"I frowned and stepped back half a pace.Kane's eyes were red-rimmed, and his voice was so hoarse it sounded like there was sand in his throat."I searched everywhere you might have gone for seven whole days... Why did you leave me...""I don't owe you an explanation." I glanced at my watch. "Move. Don't make me late for work."Kane faltered, and his eyes fell on my name badge."You work here?"The silver badge was engraved with the rank of senior healer.Five days ago, I'd passed the independent assessment.I was officially a senior healer at the Silver Moon Healing Center, with a salary of $30,000 a month.When I signed the cont

    Outside the healing center, Drake opened the car door for me."Where would you like to go?"I held the handle of my suitcase and couldn't answer.Where do I go now?There was no one left in this city waiting for me to come home.I'd made up my mind to leave, but when I caught that cedar scent, my resolve cracked.It was like standing at a crossroads, not knowing which way to turn.Drake didn't rush me. He just held the car door and waited patiently."I want to go see my mother." My fingers tightened on the handle. "I just buried her."Drake's smile faded."If you don't mind, I'd like to go with you.""All right."I'd answered without thinking. Only afterward did it strike me as a little abrupt.But Drake just looked at me calmly and waited for me to get in.I bit my lip and ducked into the car.The cemetery was on the north side of the city.I climbed the stone steps and stopped in front of a new headstone.The soil was still soft, and the photo on the stone had been taken five years a

Ella just latched on to an Alpha, and she can't wait to dump you."Selena pressed up against him and took his arm."She'd even lie about her mother being sick. What wouldn't she do?"Kane looked down at her arm, his brow furrowing."She didn't make it up."A voice came from behind him.Morgan held out the discharge file for Kane to sign and looked at him nervously. "Ella's mother really did have wolf fai

    I turned and met Drake's deep blue eyes.Kane let go of my wrist.Behind me, I heard him blurt out, "Alpha Morne?"I was stunned for a second.So it hadn't been a coincidence. Drake was the Alpha who led the Silver Moon pack.Everyone around us bowed their heads to him in respect.Drake didn't look at them. His eyes stayed on me the whole time.I caught a faint scent of cedar, and my wolf grew restless.Heat crept up my spine to the back of my neck, and I clutched my collar without thinking.Drake swallowed hard, and a ring of gold appeared around his pupils.Instinct told me what that burning feeling meant.The bond that had broken last night still hurt, but the scent of the man in front of me made my wolf lift her head for the first time.Drake is the second fated mate the Moon Goddess has given me.The thought made my breath catch.Drake looked away with obvious reluctance, walked straight up to Kane, and took the file from his hand."Did you read the attachment carefully?"He looke
