Rejected By One, Claimed By Another The Alpha’s Dilemma
Chapter Forty One: The Alpha’s DilemmaAlpha Damon’s POVI stood by the bedside, watching Cara as she lay there, her face pale and her breathing slow. She looked fragile, nothing like the warrior I had once known. But I knew better than to be fooled by appearances. Cara was strong. She had always been.I knew her well, not personally, but her reputation spoke for itself. She was once a fierce warrior of the Winder Pack, one of the best fighters they had. Then, suddenly, she became Liam’s mate in Silver Pack Caleb. It never made sense to me. How could someone like her go from being a warrior to the Luna of another pack?Her story was complicated, and I had too many questions.Why was she here?If she was truly Liam’s mate, why wasn’t she in Silver Pack with him?And most importantly—why would she need medical treatment from my pack when Silver Pack Caleb had great doctors of their own?I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.I turned to Sophia, who had brought her here.

Chapter One hundred and Six: Unmasked Secrets Cara's POV A pounding headache throbbed inside my head as I gradually awoke. My body felt leaden, my limbs trembling. My last recollection was the argument with Liam, the scorching pinch of a needle, and then—nothing. I blinked, my vision blurry at first, but then the room came into focus. It was unfamiliar. The air smelled different, like pine trees and fresh earth. This wasn’t Silver Pack Caleb. “Cara! You’re awake!” A voice I knew shook me out of my reverie. I looked up to see Sophia beside my bed, a radiant smile on her face illuminating it. Her eyes sparkled as if she had worried for eternity. "You scared me," she said, her hand sweeping lightly over my arm. "I thought we lost you." I tried to sit up, but my body fought me. A splintering pain shot through my arm, and I winced. "Don't move so much," Sophia warned. "You're too weak." I took slow breaths, my mind reeling with questions. "Where am I? I here’s Liam" I demanded. S

Chapter Forty Three: Bound by the AlphaCara's POVThree days.Three days ago is when Sophia left me off with Alpha Damon's pack. Three days ago is when I saw her face, a mixture of worry and distress, begging Damon to keep me safe. Three days of being locked inside this healer's home, with nothing but my own mind and the occasional visit from Damon and the doctor.The room was filled with the aroma of herbs and wet soil, a smell that reminded me I was still convalescing. My body was stronger now, but my head was as fatigued as the day I awoke here.I had barely spoken to anyone except Damon and the doctor. The pack members would have known I was there, but no one approached me. No one inquired about who I was.Maybe they didn't care.Maybe they already understood.The sun streamed through the small window when I rolled over beneath the dense blanket. My body ached still, and I was happy at least to be able to leave bed without nearly falling to the floor.As if sensing I was changing

Chapter Forty Four: Uncontrollable DesireAlpha Damon’s POVThe night was quiet, but my mind was anything but.I sat in my office, staring at the untouched glass of whiskey on my desk, my fingers tapping against the wood in frustration. It had been three days since Cara arrived, and yet, she still refused to trust me. She barely spoke to me unless necessary, and even then, her words were cold, distant.I should have let her leave. I should have respected her decision. But I couldn’t.Not because she was a warrior. Not because she was valuable. But because I wanted her.My wolf had been restless ever since she set foot in my pack. It was an unfamiliar feeling, one that made it hard to focus, hard to think straight. Every time I caught her scent, my control wavered. Every time I looked at her, my wolf growled in frustration, demanding that I take her, claim her.But she didn’t trust me.She thought I was like Caleb and Liam—men who had used her, betrayed her. And the more she pushed me

Chapter Five: A Past Full of ScarsCara’s POVThe morning air felt heavy as I walked toward the healer’s place. My mind was a storm of emotions—anger, confusion, and something I didn’t want to name. Damon had been getting too close to me, and I hated it. I hated how it made my wolf restless, how it made my heart beat a little too fast.I pushed open the door to the healer’s hut and stepped inside. The scent of herbs and medicine filled my nose, mixing with the soft scent of burning wood. The doctor, an older man with kind eyes and a calm presence, looked up as I entered. He was used to my visits now, always checking on my recovery since Sophia left.But today was different.He noticed it immediately.“What’s wrong?” he asked, setting down a small bowl of crushed herbs.I crossed my arms and let out a frustrated sigh. “Damon.”The doctor raised an eyebrow, a small smile tugging at his lips. “What did he do this time?”“He’s been moving close to me,” I said, my voice sharp. “Too close.

Chapter Forty-Six: Painful RealizationLiam’s POVI sat alone in my room, staring at the empty space in front of me, my heart aching in a way I had never known before. The air felt heavy, pressing down on my chest like a weight I couldn’t lift.For days, my mind had been at war with itself. My wolf was restless, pacing, howling, demanding that I go after her.But I didn’t.I told myself she wasn’t worth it. That she had deceived me, manipulated me, and left without a word. That she had been lying all along.Then why did it hurt?Why did my chest feel hollow every time I closed my eyes? Why did I wake up reaching for someone who wasn’t there?Why did my heart betray me every time I thought about her?I ran a hand over my face, groaning.“I don’t care about her,” I whispered to myself.A lie.A painful, bitter lie.I pushed myself up, needing air. Maybe if I trained, if I forced my body into exhaustion, my thoughts would stop torturing me.I stepped into the hallway, heading toward the

Chapter Forty-Seven: Uncontrollable DesiresCara’s POVI stood outside Damon’s room, my heart pounding so hard it echoed in my ears.Why was I even here?I had told myself I would avoid him, keep my distance. But my feet had brought me here like I had no control over my own body.I inhaled sharply, trying to calm my racing heart.Then, before I could stop myself, I knocked.Silence.I hesitated. Maybe he wasn’t here. Maybe this was a mistake.Just as I turned to leave, the door opened.And my breath caught.Damon stood there, a white towel wrapped around his waist, drops of water sliding down his perfectly sculpted chest.I froze.His muscles were sharp and defined, his broad shoulders strong and powerful. The way his skin glistened under the dim light made him look even more irresistible.His damp black hair fell slightly over his forehead, and his piercing eyes locked onto mine.I swallowed hard.Oh, Goddess.A wave of heat rushed through my body. My wolf stirred, growling with want

My whole body trembled as silent tears ran down my face.I messed up.I messed up that badly.Cara had been pure all this time, and I let them ruin her.I let my mom and Vanessa lie to me. I let them turn me against her, to make me believe that she was this scheming traitor when she just survived.My fists clenched as fresh pain ran through my chest.I had hurt her. I had pushed her away. I had stood there and let them turn her out.And now… she was gone.The worst part?I had no idea where she was.Would she ever forgive me?Would she even want to talk to me again?Guilt was eating away at me.I pinched my eyes shut as my wolf growled in my head, restless, full of guilt.

Chapter 159 – A Glimmer of HopeSophia's POVThe walls that closed in around me were damp, cold, and cracked. I was on the floor in the corner of the empty room, my arms sore from having them tied behind my back for so long. My ankles were scraped and bruised. The ground was hard. The air smelled of dust, mold, and old paint. It was the kind of place you leave people to be forgotten.But I wasn't forgotten.Not yet.I hadn't eaten for a day—maybe two days. My lips were dry. My stomach growled in pain, not just hunger. But I didn't eat the food they'd brought before. I couldn't. Every bite would be like giving up. And I wasn't ready to quit.Suddenly, the door opened again.I looked up, expecting Cara to enter and taunt me for my misery. But it wasn't her.It was Caleb.He entered quietly, holding a small tray. On it was a piece of bread, a small bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bottle of water. He set it down quietly next to me, kneeling to my level."You have to eat," he said softly.I

Chapter 158 – Trapped in DeceptionDamon's POVThe air was thick in my study. Tension-charged. A burning heat radiated in my chest from a pain that had no reason behind it. A mixture of anger, fear, and confusion.Sophia was nowhere to be found.I had attempted. Texted. Waited.Nothing.She always kept her word. Always told me where she was going to be.But now… nothing.Lucas sat across from me, his hands flying quickly across the tablet screen. He had been quiet the last few minutes, trying to track Cara's phone. The guards we'd sent had lost Sophia. And now Cara too.I did not want to think it. I did not want to believe that Cara was involved. But every fiber of my being was screaming otherwise."Any signal?" I asked, my throat scratchy."Not yet," said Lucas. "Just another second or two. If she's got her phone on, we'll pinpoint it."Before he could finish speaking, the study door creaked open.I raised my head hastily.And there she was.Cara.Craddling the baby in her arms.My h

I had told her to message me or call me the moment she arrived at the location Alec Davis had given her. She promised she would. I believed her. I believed she would keep herself safe.Too long. Too silence now.I picked up my phone and dialed her again.It rang once.And then twice.And then went to voicemail.I stared at the screen, my heart pounding. I tried a third time. Still nothing.A thunderous knock on the door caused me to look up."Come in," I said, attempting to sound calm.Lucas came in, holding a small tablet. I could tell from his face that something was wrong."We've got a problem, Alpha," he told me. "The guards we sent to tail Sophia… they lost her."My heart sank."Lost her?" I repeated, my voice even.What does that even mean?."She went into the building," he explained. "But she never came out. The guards stayed, maybe thi

Chapter 156 : Trapped By CaraThe streets were deserted as I walked to the destination I had been sent. It was an old street, near the town center, yet still deserted enough to make me get a bit apprehensive. I held my phone tight.And then suddenly—A heavy sound behind me.Before I could even turn, someone grabbed me hard from behind. A fist closed over my mouth. I struggled, kicked, screamed — but the rag over my mouth muffled my cry.I was pulled back, through an alley. My heart thudded so violently I thought it would burst.I caught sight of the shape of a broken-down, falling building — the windows broken, the walls cracked. My gut wrenched.They shoved me in.The air was thick with dust and mold. I was tied at the wrists. My mouth was open, my throat dry."W-What's going on?" I gasped. "Let me go!"And then I saw her.Cara.She stepped out of the darkness as if catwalking down a catwalk. Unfazed. Unapologetic. Evil.Caleb was behind her. He turned his head aside when I tried to

Chapter 155 :?The Weight in My Chest(Damon's POV)The air in my study was stale. The room smelled of old pages and quiet reflection. I had a book in my hand, but I wasn't reading. My eyes had been on the same line for the past five minutes. My mind wasn't calm.Not since that message came.Alec Davis — the name that had been so important to Sophia. Her favorite author. The one author who had written stories that had comforted her when the world had been cruel.Now that same author wanted to meet her in person. Alone.I didn't care for it. Not at all. It was strange. It felt too abrupt. Too personal. And something in the message… it had my wolf unsettle with unease.Just then, the door to our bedroom opened.Sophia stepped out. She wore light jeans and a soft cream-colored sweater. Her hair was brushed back neatly. She looked beautiful, but her face carried excitement, like a child about to meet her hero.“Damon,” she said gently.I turned in my chair, eyes meeting hers.“I’m getting

My black trench coat was enveloped around me, heels of shoes sinking delicately into sodden ground as I went deeper into the trees. The moon was silver, distant, cold—like I am tonight.I'd given the message to Caleb hours ago. He responded right away."Same location. Midnight."This is the time I need Caleb the most, I know he doesn’t like Damon, and this is the time for me to act like I care about him.I smiled as I walked towards the small cabin hidden at the edge of the border, a place that only the two of us knew. A place that was filled with tired memories, lust, lies… and now, a new plan.The door was already open before I could knock.He stood there, big and broad, still with that same obstinate look he always had. Caleb. My history. My instrument."Cara," he said coldly. "What are you doing here?""

But my thoughts wouldn't rest tonight.Not after that message.Something is amiss.A knock on the door."Come in," I replied.Lucas walked in. My Beta. Loyal. Calm. Sharp.He bowed slightly.

"What is it?"I placed my phone in his hands and let him read the message.He read again, slowly.And then looked up at me with an eyebrow raised, furrowed face. "Alec Davis. wants her to come alone?""Yes," I said. "No destination yet, but I know Sophia will depart once it comes. And she doesn't want me included."Lucas sat back. "That's not wise. She's the Luna. What if it's a trap?""Th

Chapter 152: Something She's Keeping SecretDamon's POVThe room was peaceful.Sophia was in my arms, her head gently on my chest. She smelled of roses. Her breath was hot on my skin. Outside was quiet. No guard shouting. No wolves training. Just us. Alone. Safe.I kissed her forehead gently. She smiled faintly but did not open her eyes. She was tired. Maybe it was everything that happened today. The elders visited us earlier. They brought laughter and gifts—but tension as well. They kept reminding us that the pack needed an heir. That we owed it. A future to build.Sophia had said nothing after they left. I'd known something was bothering her. I hadn't asked. Not yet. I'd known she'd tell me when she was ready.Now, in this soft silence, I sensed her release once more."Are you alright?" I whispered, running my hand down her spine."I'm fine," she replied, her tone soft and slightly unsure.But before I could ask her anything else, her phone beeped.She sat bolt upright, grabbing the

A part of me was entertained at how uneasy Sophia and Damon both were with my presence, yet they didn't have the backbone to tell me to leave. Guilt is such a potent leash. And I intended to tug it tighter.I deliberately folded my knees, watching as the curtain twitched to an imaginary dance created by a whiff of a breeze coming in through the window. Outside, the pack revelled, their laughter and cheers causing my stomach to churn—though not from envy. No, it was. enjoyment.For deep within, they knew not that their peace was what I held within my hand. And tonight, I was about to shatter.My phone buzzed on the table next to me.
