Kira’s POV

The scent of cinnamon rolls and fresh coffee greeted me as I pushed through the back door of the bakery, tying the apron around my waist with shaky hands. A part of me felt relief — grateful, even — to have something simple and warm to hold onto. The other part? Still tangled up in the mess that was this morning.

Viktor .

Just thinking his name made my stomach knot. I had barely gotten a few bites of breakfast before our conversation — if you could even call it that — had ended with me storming into the bathroom to avoid looking at him. His words from last night still echoed in my ears, cutting deeper than I cared to admit.

“I didn’t ask you to stay.”

I didn’t belong in his world. And I definitely didn’t want to be a charity case under his roof.

But I needed this job. I needed the paycheck. I needed an escape plan.

The bell over the door chimed as customers trickled in. I plastered on a polite smile and greeted the first one — an older woman with gray streaks in her hair a

  • Rejected By MY Alpha ~ Claimed By His Beta   Chapter 120

    Zoya's POV The sound of screams and loud footsteps woke me from my sleep.That's all I have been doing all day but still I hate my beauty sleep being Interrupted.I tried to bury the sounds and go back to sleep but I could not drown out the noise At first, I thought it was just a restless wolf howling outside, but then the sound grew louder, the sound of footsteps, then the clang of the gates, and voices raised in panic showed something was wrong.There was chaos.I sat up in bed, clutching the sheets around me as I blinked hard trying to get rid of any leftover sleepiness I felt.I had been caged in for weeks, and the lack has been relatively silent for the last few weeks. Something was wrong. My stomach twisted in panic.Were we under an attack?I slid out of bed and padded toward the door, my bare feet against the floor. I knew the guards would be standing there tall and stiff like they always did, keeping me trapped. But when I touched the knob and turned it, the click of the

  • Rejected By MY Alpha ~ Claimed By His Beta   Chapter 119

    Viktor’s POVSomething about Kari had shifted.It wasn’t just her eyes, though they were colder now, sharper, like she was constantly measuring the people around her. It wasn’t just her tone, though every word she spoke felt clipped, calculated, heavy.It was in the way she carried herself. The way she talked, the way she moved.She used to walk into a room and make it warmer, calmer, without even trying. Now she walked in like she was carrying a storm on her shoulders, and everyone else just braced themselves for the lightning.I had been watching it for days, telling myself it was temporary. Telling myself she was just adjusting to the weight of the Alpha title, to the sudden loss of her parents, to the betrayal from her own blood.But the truth was… I could see it eating her alive.The revenge. The hatred.It wasn’t just in her words. It was in the way her hands clenched when someone mentioned the BlackRiver pack. The way her jaw tightened if anyone brought up Indira. The way she

  • Rejected By MY Alpha ~ Claimed By His Beta   Chapter 118

    Indira's POVThe hallway outside Titan’s office was quiet, but I could hear their voices through the slightly open door. I shouldn’t have been there. I knew that. Titan hated eavesdroppers, and if he caught me, there would be trouble. But something in his tone made me stop instead of walking past.“…Kira’s parents were killed during the attack,” James was saying.The words froze me.For a moment, I thought maybe I had misheard. But the silence that followed was heavy. I was not just hearing things. This was real.I pressed my back against the wall, my heart suddenly racing. My father. And his wife, my step mum, was dead?I had never been close to him. Not after what he did. Not after his betrayal of marrying another woman. Not after he replaced my mother like she was nothing. I hated him for marrying another woman, for starting another life as if I didn’t matter. I told myself I didn’t care if I never saw him again.But hearing it now… hearing that he was gone… something inside me cra

    Zoya's POV Recovery had never felt this suffocating.My body was healed, the bruises on my body had faded and the pain was gone, but the four walls of this room I was stuck in had become another kind of wound. Every day was the same, I woke up, stared at the ceiling, counted the hours, and listened to the sound of my own thoughts clawing at me.Thomas called it house arrest. I called it a cage.He had been furious after my last stunt. Furious and disappointed was his favorite word lately and he was unwilling to hear a single reason I had for doing what I did. He kept repeating how reckless it was to abduct Kari and orchestrate and tack against the wilder pack border town and how it put his position at risk, how it painted the BlackRiver pack in the worst possible light.Now the werewolf council was breathing down his neck, summoning him to explain himself because they thought the attack on the Wilder pack was his doing.But the thing was that I don’t regret any of my actions, but

  • Rejected By MY Alpha ~ Claimed By His Beta   Chapter 115

    Kari’s POVThe room felt too small for my thoughts.I stood by the window, arms crossed, my mind spinning with the news Elias had just given me. The BlackRiver pack’s Alpha was smart — too smart — and the people he had planted in our border town were spreading chaos faster than wildfire. I wasn’t going to just sit back and watch.I turned sharply toward Elias. “Look deeper. I don’t care how long it takes — I want everything we have on him and more. I want to know what time he wakes up, what he eats, who he talks to, every shadow he walks through. Everything.”Elias didn’t flinch at my tone. His dark eyes flickered with understanding. “You want me to dig where it’s dangerous?”“Yes,” I said without hesitation. “If it’s dangerous, it means we’re getting close.”His lips pressed into a thin line, but he gave a short nod and left without another word.I turned to Viktor, who had been leaning against the far wall with his arms folded, his expression unreadable. “I need you to contact the m

  • Rejected By MY Alpha ~ Claimed By His Beta   Chapter 115

    Zoya's POV I could still smell the blood, my blood.It clung to my skin no matter how many times I washed it off. It was faint now, but every breath I take reminds me of tonight, reminds me of them.Kira and Viktor.I gripped the edge of my pillow and squeezed until my knuckles ached. The wound in my side throbs under the bandage, the pain sharper when I think about how they got away. I had them. I had them.And then Viktor…My ex-mate. The person who betrayed me like no other.The man I once thought would protect me from the whole world. Instead, he chose her. Chose to fight me for her.My jaw tightened. I had spent years imagining the moment I would stand in front of him again, how his eyes would widen, how his heart would falter when he saw me alive after everything. I’d dreamed of watching him break under the weight of his guilt. I wanted him to feel every ounce of pain he had left me drowning in.But it didn’t happen that way.When he saw me, he looked shocked, yes… but not bro
