The heavy, soundproof luxury car glided smoothly away from the mall, completely isolating its interior from the bustling city outside.

In the backseat, Kyle remained curled in Hugo’s massive arms, his small frame trembling slightly. Hugo had gently placed him down on the plush leather seat, keeping a broad, protective arm sloped over his shoulders, but the boy’s breathing remained shallow and ragged. His pale hands clutched at the soft fabric of his sweater as the near-encounter with Noah echoe

  • Rejected As a Failure, Claimed By Two Rival Alphas    CHAPTER 78: TRIGGER WARNING!

    Noah looked at J in astonishment. J just stared at him not caring to repeat his statement.Noah bit his lips, he didn't want to do something so humiliating, so he could only stay still, hoping J would change his mind. But J's pheromones, the suffocating dominant scent of tobacco wrapped around him like a hand making him choke. He found himself crawling towards the man in front of him. He could feel J's gaze on him, prickling his skin. Noah swallowed hard and moved faster, his palms and knees scraping against cold marble until he reached the edge of the couch. He stopped there, waiting for J's next instruction, with his head bowed. J reached down and grabbed his chin in a firm grip, forcing his face up and tilting Noah's head at an angle that made his head hurt. "Look at you," J murmured, thumb pressing hard against Noah's jaw. "Already shaking and I haven't even touched you yet.”Noah's lips parted but no words came. J's thumb dragged across his lower lip, pressing down hard

    Shopping with Reina Adler had consumed the entire day. By the time Kyle and Reina Adler finished dinner and returned to Apex Estate, the sky was already dark, and the clock read eight in the evening.The driver followed closely behind them, his hands were filled with countless shopping bags. Reina’s hands were similarly full. She had also refused to let Kyle carry a single item, worried that he might still be suffering from the after-effects of his earlier breakdown at the shooting range.Since everyone's hands were occupied, Kyle stepped forward and knocked on the door. As if the person was waiting in front of the door. It opened instantly, the door swung open to reveal Hugo.Without a word, Hugo pulled Kyle into a tight embrace. "Are you alright?"Kyle smiled weakly, trying to ease Hugo’s anxiety. "Why wouldn't I be?" Hugo nodded respectfully to Reina Adler, acknowledging her presence. After releasing Kyle, he stepped forward to relieve Reina of the bags she was carrying.

    “Isn't that Kyle?” one of Noah's classmates pointed out, gesturing toward the clothing section.There stood Kyle, dressed in a crisp white shirt and light beige shorts. He was browsing the racks, looking around casually. He looked incredibly handsome. There was a refreshing aura about him, and the outfit made him look effortlessly charming. He looked healthy, vibrant, and clean, no longer looking as emaciated as he was in the past.Noah clenched his fists tightly. Why was that blood rat getting more and more pleasing to the eye?“Wow, he looks way better than the last time I saw him,” a boy in a red shirt remarked.“It seems President Adler is really treating him well.”Noah glared fiercely at the classmate who had just spoken. “You think President Adler actually likes him? He's only interested in his face. Why would President Adler want to be with someone who is a Beta, someone with zero compatibility?” He swept a sharp gaze across the classmates who were surrounding him. Were they a

    The only time he had ever heard live gunfire was during the chaotic raid when he was rescued from the research lab. But back then, he had been fine. After that rescue, he had never been around firearms again. So why now? Why did he react with great terror to a simple target practice?A cold shiver ran down his spine. The fleeting memories that had just flashed through his mind felt entirely foreign, yet undeniably real.Was there a dark chapter of his life that had been completely wiped clean? Had he actually lost a vital piece of his own memory?"I... I genuinely didn't know about this," Kyle muttered, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to process what on earth was going on."It's okay," the medical specialist comforted him with a warm, reassuring smile. "It's normal for trauma to remain buried for years. Sometimes, your mind locks these painful memories away in a dark corner to protect you, only for a specific trigger, like today's gunshot, to unlock the door when you least ex

  • Rejected As a Failure, Claimed By Two Rival Alphas    CHAPTER 74: The Jumbled Memories

    After school, Kyle and Mara stepped out of the building only to find Devon already waiting. His luxury car was parked by the curb. He stood leaning against it, ignoring the crowd of parents and students who were subtly eyeing him, desperate for a chance to strike up a conversation.Word had spread like wildfire. After hearing that President Adler had personally dropped Kyle off this morning and might return, many wealthy parents had dismissed their family drivers. They chose to pick up their children themselves today, praying for a single glance from President Adler. In their business circles, if the President so much as remembered their name or exchanged two words with them, their companies would experience a meteoric rise overnight.Seeing the crowd, Mara and Kyle froze, unsure whether to retreat or keep moving forward."Kyle, over here." The stoic Alpha’s frosty expression instantly melted into a warm smile the moment his eyes landed on Kyle.The surrounding crowd collectively turn

    Late at night, the study remained prettily illuminated. Kyle was still buried in his textbooks, studying hard for his upcoming exams. On either side of him, the two Alphas flanked his desk, silently accompanying him while managing their own affairs. Hugo was focused on reviewing thick stacks of documents, while Devon sat before his laptop, conducting a late-night conference call.Glancing left and right, Kyle saw the two powerful men absorbed in their work just to stay by his side. A small, sweet smile bloomed on his face before he buried his nose back into his notes.When the clock ticked past midnight, Kyle finally decided to call it a night. He let out a soft yawn, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he began stacking his books together. “I’m going to bed now.”In an instant, Devon abruptly shut down his live conference call, and Hugo snapped his documents closed with a crisp thud.“Let’s go,” the two Alphas said in perfect unison, standing up simultaneously.Kyle stared at them, bewildere
