I stood my ground, refusing to step back or forward. Just seeing a murderer like him made my blood boil.

My eyes locked onto his. My face twisted with fury.

"This is my room, Theodore. Did you miss your way?"

He halted a few steps from me and shook his head. "I didn’t miss my way, Sai. I came because I need to speak with you. Aren’t you going to welcome me?"

I clenched my fists as the anger inside me rose higher. Even in the heat of it, I kept my voice steady.

"We have nothing to talk about, Theodore. And I personally have no reason to stand here with a murderer like you."

I turned to leave, but he slammed the door shut and pushed me back.

"Where do you think you’re going, Sai? I said I want to talk, and you’re walking out? Don’t you have any respect left for me?"

I slapped his hand off me and jabbed a finger in his chest. "Some respect left for you?" I scoffed. "Some respect for someone like you?"

    The moment I saw Theodore, the image of him stabbing Father slammed into my mind like a punch. My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms, and I bit the inside of my cheek so hard it felt like I was tearing through flesh.Caspian placed a hand on my back, trying to soothe me. It only made things worse.I stood frozen, my eyes locked with Theodore’s. My entire body trembled with rage. Then Lola’s eyes caught mine.She froze. Her grip loosened on the bag she held, and it fell with a soft thud. She shook her head in disbelief.“Sai…!” Her voice rang louder than Theodore’s.Beatrice appeared behind her, drawn by the noise. Her expression changed the instant she saw me. Shock widened her eyes.“What is Sai doing here?” she hissed. “I thought she was bought as a slave! Why on earth is she dressed like the President’s wife?”I caught Lola's lips moving furiously as she whispered something to Theodore. But he didn’t care. His gaze stayed glued to me, unreadable. Distant. Like h

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    12. Long Time, No See

    ~SaiThat night faded quickly, and before I even noticed, the next day was already staring me in the face.Trust Celine to always go over the top. She had a taste for the dramatic—it practically oozed from her personality. As a true Gen Z, she wanted her birthday party to be one of the biggest in town.The entire pack was bathed in blue. Like she said earlier, it was an all-blue party, and she meant it. Blue drapes, blue balloons, even the lights had a soft blue tint.While everyone was running around making preparations, I stayed in my room, tucked under the covers, enjoying my sleep. I didn’t want to touch anything that might cause another one of Celine’s dramatic episodes.Right now, my focus is getting my life back together—not picking fights. That thought was the last thing on my mind before sleep pulled me in.I was still asleep when the knocks came.“Miss Sai, are you there? Can you hear me?”It felt like a dream at first. But then the voice came again—louder this time.“Miss S

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    11. The Invitation

    ~SaiIt’s already been three days since Celine displayed her madness. Honestly, I don’t have time to start making enemies with someone like her. Just like I told her, I have more important things to do than pick a fight with someone that petty.As I sat in my room, that night—the night that changed everything—replayed in my mind. The night I caught my sister cheating with my boyfriend. The same night Theodore told me to terminate his own child… my child. And worse of all, the night I lost my father.Tears spilled down my cheeks as the image of Theodore stabbing Dad flashed through my mind. Dad had trusted him. He gave him the wolf tooth. He loved him like a son… and that’s how he repaid him?I felt a tap on my back.Quickly, I wiped my tears and forced a smile as I turned. It was Caspian.“Oh, Caspian. You’re back already? I thought you went hunting. You said you'd be gone for two days. How come you…”Before I could finish, he pressed his lips against mine—soft, warm, comforting.A sh

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    10. Threats And Schemes

    {Celine} I can’t believe I’m stuck in this hospital when nothing serious even happened to me. It’s been twenty-four hours already, and Caspian still hasn’t shown up. Not even a message. Not even a glance. He hasn’t visited me once since I got admitted. But I won’t call him. I still have to play the part of the weak, helpless victim. After all, this was my plan—to tear him and Sai apart. The wound wasn’t even that deep. I stabbed myself just lightly enough to make it look real. Just enough blood to cause panic. I made sure the scene looked convincing, that it screamed Sai did it. Even a blind fool could be tricked. And I’m sure Caspian must have sent her packing by now. I let out a small laugh and took a slow sip from the wine glass in my hand. It burned slightly down my throat but made me smile wider. Just then, there was a knock at the door. I froze, quickly wiping the grin off my face. My eyes went cold. “Who’s there?” I asked, setting the glass aside. “Miss Celine,” a fam

    ~SaiI shook my head, completely stunned. Did Celine just set me up?My heart raced. I didn’t even know what to do—everything had happened so fast, like a whirlwind I couldn't control.“I didn’t do it, Caspian!” I said, my voice trembling. “Please, believe me. She did this to herself... I didn’t touch her.”Caspian turned his gaze away, stiff and unreadable. Without a word to me, he shouted ahead. “Michael! Michael!”Michael, his Beta, rushed into the kitchen and froze the moment he saw Celine’s body on the floor.“Get the car ready,” Caspian commanded, already lifting Celine in his arms. “We’re taking her to the hospital.”“Yes, my Alpha!” Michael replied, then dashed out without delay.I dropped the knife I’d been holding, inching closer to help him carry her. But Caspian stopped me with a single gesture of his hand—firm, distant. He didn’t say anything, but his silence said everything. I saw it in his eyes. He didn’t want to speak to me. He didn’t want to look at me. His face was c
