~Sai

I 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

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    40. The Text!

    {Lola}After Theodore left me on that bed, I lay there, tears streaming, my mind replaying the times we used to share. The days when everything seemed perfect. The moments we laughed, touched, and held each other close.Never once had Theodore raised his hand against me. We’d been together even before he broke up with Sai. He loves me—or at least he did. And I loved him too. But now, I don’t know anymore. That love, that attraction I once felt burning between us… I can’t tell if it still exists. Because the man standing in front of me these days is not the Theodore I married. He’s different. He’s a stranger.My fingers twisted into the duvet, gripping tightly as his words echoed in my head.“One more word against Sai, and I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!”The memory lit a fire in me. My chest heaved. My anger burned hotter with every second.I’m losing him. He’s slipping through my fingers. And not to just any woman—But to her.Sai?That worthless orphan?The same

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    39. Vengeance Changes The Nature Of A Person

    ~SaiThe moment I stepped out of my car, I walked with purpose into the hospital, heels striking the tiled floor in a steady rhythm. My destination was clear—the doctor’s office.When I pushed the door open, the doctor immediately rose from his chair and came toward me, his expression eager.“Welcome, Miss Ray,” he greeted warmly.I gave him a cool smile and moved to the chair opposite his desk. Once I reached it, I set the heavy suitcase down on the polished surface, the sound of it hitting the desk making his eyes flicker with greed.“Here you go, Doctor,” I said smoothly.His fingers trailed across the surface of the case, almost caressing it, before he gave me another smile.“Please, have a seat. I’ll get you something to drink—”“You don’t have to stress yourself, Doc,” I cut him off sharply, crossing one leg over the other as I leaned back in the chair. “You know very well the only thing I want to drink right now is the tears of the Kaiser household. If you want to entertain me,

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    38. Sai's New Motive!

    [Theodore’s POV]Lola’s eyes were still fixed on me, burning with a kind of fury that demanded an answer. Her nose flared, her hands clenched tight, and her gaze held me like claws digging into my skin, as if she was ready to tear apart whatever word I dared to say next.“Come on, Theodore!” she snapped, her voice sharp and vibrating with anger. “Why are you quiet? Why aren’t you answering me? Are you scared I’ll find out the truth? You’re supposed to be a man, aren’t you? You’re the Alpha, aren’t you? Then prove it! Tell me what’s really going on inside you. Tell me what you feel!”Her words were fire, yet I refused to give her the satisfaction of a response. Silence was my shield, but the longer I held it, the more dangerous she became.With a sudden snarl, Lola grabbed my shirt and yanked me toward her. Her eyes had turned red, the playful spark gone, replaced by something darker, something twisted. Her lips curved into a cold sneer.“Look into my eyes, Theodore,” she hissed, her v

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    37. Do You Love Sai?

    [Theodore’s POV]I have to admit... this was the first time I ever raised my hand against a woman.And that woman happened to be Lola.Even after slapping her, I didn’t feel an ounce of regret. Nothing tugged at my conscience. Maybe something’s wrong with me. Or maybe... I’m finally seeing things for what they truly are.I don’t even know when it started, but lately, something about Sai keeps gnawing at my mind. They all call her names. They spread stories, rumors, accusations. But deep down, I don’t feel any of it is true.Not saying I’ve fallen for Sai, no. It’s not that. But ever since the day she was stripped in front of everyone, something changed inside me. I remember standing there, watching. I wanted to run to her, cover her with my jacket. But Caspian got there first. And again at the mall—I had planned to buy her that necklace. I wanted to offer peace, ask if we could talk things out.But everything backfired. And now, here I am.Lola planned to kill her.No remorse. No guil

  • Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha    36. One More Word Against Sai, You Will Regret It!

    [Theodore’s POV]I couldn’t hold it in. The rage clawed at my chest the moment I heard the truth—Lola had cut the chandelier rope, and she did it to kill Sai.My fists clenched on their own. The anger felt raw, open, exposed. I couldn’t contain it, and if I did, I’d explode. So I let it out—on her.Zayden's voice echoed in my mind, low and sharp through our bond.I told you, didn’t I? I told you Lola cut the rope. Her wolf couldn’t hide it. I connected with her wolf!I didn’t reply. My jaw clenched tighter. I kept my mouth shut, too aware that if I spoke, I might lash out at him too. I couldn’t risk that—not now.By the time I got to the car, Zayden was already waiting. One look at me and he instantly mirrored my fury.“Are we attacking Lola?” he snapped. “She and her wolf went the extra mile!”I started the engine, eyes flicking coldly toward him. “Can you just keep quiet for once?” I barked. “I need to think, okay?!”My voice cracked like a whip. My glowing eyes dimmed as Zayden shr

    ~SaiI locked eyes with Theodore—and without hesitation—I shoved his hand off me like it was poison. My glare burned into him.“Don’t you ever think of touching me, Theodore!” I snapped, voice sharp as broken glass. “You’ve lost every right to lay a finger on me, let alone speak to me in that tone.”He didn’t blink. He just stood there, frozen and brooding, his eyes filled with something darker than rage—betrayal. But I didn’t care. I wasn’t afraid of him. I wasn’t afraid of anyone anymore, and certainly not the man who once tore my soul apart.He let out a slow, shaky breath, trying to rein in the storm brewing inside him.“I know exactly what you're after, Sai,” he said, his voice laced with tightly restrained fury. “You’re desperate for revenge. That’s why you pushed Beatrice into the chandelier… wasn’t it?”I let out a scoff, tilting my head at him. “Oh, you saw that?” I asked, eyes narrowing, my voice taunting. “I didn’t realize you were watching when I pushed Beatrice.
