Rejected By One, Claimed By Another In Search For Cara
Chapter Ninety-Two: In Search of Cara(Damon's POV)The night was colder than usual.I sat in my room, by myself, staring at the flickering candle on the table. The room was quiet, but not my thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the feeling inside me.Cara.Where was she?I leaned back in my chair, letting out a deep breath. My fingers tapped on the wooden armrest, my thoughts whirling.It had been hours since she flew off into the forest.I thought she would return at first.She always did.No matter how mad she was, no matter how much she wanted to just vanish, she always came back. But this time… this time was different.Lucas had mocked it before, laughing about how hurt she would have been. He acted like it was no big thing, like Cara's pain was funny. I had laughed along with him.But now, I wasn't laughing.Something about the fact that she had just disappeared wasn't sitting right with me.Cara wasn't breakable. I knew that.But I also knew that when people w

Chapter Ninety Three : A Difficult Decision(Damon’s POV)The walk back home was quiet. Too quiet.I didn’t know what to say to Cara, and for some reason, she wasn’t saying anything either. She just followed me, her steps light but her presence heavy.I wasn’t sure if bringing her back was the right decision.Sophia.I didn’t want to hurt her. Not now, not ever. She was the one person who had always been there for me. The last thing I wanted was for her to misunderstand the situation.But I also couldn’t leave Cara in the forest. No matter what had happened between us, I couldn’t ignore the fact that she was alone, and even if she acted like she didn’t care, I knew she was hurting.Beside me, Cara suddenly let out a breath, breaking the silence.“You haven’t said a single word since we left,” she muttered, her tone unreadable.I glanced at her, but she wasn’t looking at me. Her gaze was fixed ahead, as if she wasn’t expecting an answer.I stayed silent. What could I even say? That I w

Chapter Ninety Four _ InsecueeCara’s POVI sat alone in the room, staring at the four walls like they held the answers to my life’s problems. The silence pressed against my ears, making me feel even more isolated. This wasn’t my home. Nothing about this place felt right.A few moments later, the door creaked open, and Sophia walked in, holding a pile of neatly folded clothes in her hands. She smiled at me like she always did—sweet, gentle, perfect.“I brought these for you,” she said, placing them on the bed. “You didn’t bring anything with you, so I picked some of my clothes for you to wear.”I forced a smile. “Thank you, Sophia.” My voice was light, almost cheerful, but deep inside, my chest tightened with irritation.Sophia stood there, watching me as if she wanted to say more. She shifted on her feet, hesitating. “I want you to feel free here, anytime you are bored you can come and meet me or Damon, we are happy to have you here”I only smile Was she waiting for me to start a c

Chapter Ninety FiveShamefulCara's POVI sat quietly in the packhouse living room, my hands wrapped tightly in my lap. The silence between me and the rest of them was oppressive. Too oppressive. Damon sat across from me, his eyes very decidedly not on mine. He hadn't said a word since we sat down. Sophia was beside him, serene as could be, as if everything was fine.It wasn't.I could feel it in the air. The tension. Damon not looking at me. Sophia nervously glancing at the two of us.Then the front door opened.I didn't even need to turn—I already knew who it was.Voices started echoing down the hallway.Footsteps.I slowly turned my head, and my heart fell to the floor.The Alpha. Luna. Liam.They were all here.And they were entering the room.Luna stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Her cold eyes scanned me as if I were something she did not expect to see in this house. Her lips drew together, and her eyebrows leapt up in shock."I knew it," Luna said, folding her arms. "

Chapter Ninety Six — Safe Damon’s POVI was sitting in the pack study room, staring at nothing. My thoughts were loud, too loud. I didn’t like the way everything happened earlier.Cara staying in the house didn’t sit well with me. Not because she was a threat. Not because Sophia couldn’t handle it. But because I… couldn’t.The truth was, I brought her here. I was the one who went into that forest and brought her back. I should’ve thought it through. I should’ve known things would be different when she walked into this house.And now that she’s here, I don’t feel right.The door opened, and Sophia walked in. Her footsteps were fast, and her expression told me that this wasn’t going to be a calm conversation.She stood in front of me, arms crossed, lips tight. “So that’s it?” she asked.I looked up at her. “What do you mean?”“You want Cara to leave?” she asked, voice sharp.I rubbed my forehead. “Sophia… it’s not like that. I’m just not comfortable anymore.”She stared at me like I h

Cara's POVI rested against the window, gazing out at the serene, moonlit evening. The house was abnormally still, the only sounds the distant howls of wolves in the forest. I could feel the pressure of it all crashing down on me. Damon and Sophia were bonded. That was the truth. The truth that stung. But it was irrelevant now. I had a plan.I surveyed the room, my eyes locking onto the door. Damon was in the adjacent room. Sophia had gone off to visit her parents, and I was left alone with him. I had been waiting for this opportunity—the ultimate opportunity. This was my moment to at last get what I wanted. I was pregnant with Liam's child, but no one knew that. Everyone thought the baby was Damon's. That was my chance to reclaim Damon, to have him back for myself.I couldn't help but smile to myself, imagining. This would be okay. Damon had never truly pushed me away, and if I could only maintain the charade that the baby was his, then he would return to me. He would be mine again,

Chapter Ninety EightScheme From HerCara's POVI woke up slowly. My body was frail, but my heart was warm. Damon was next to me. His chest was bare. His face was serene in sleep.I smiled weakly. Last night was real. He touched me. Held me. Kissed me.It was like the past again.I reached out my hand, craving to touch his hair. But before I could, his eyes opened.He looked at me. He did not say anything for a moment. He was dazed. Then he sat up abruptly."What the hell?" he cried, breathing heavily.I also sat up, wrapping myself in the blanket. "Damon, relax. You're okay.""What is this?" he shouted. "What happened last night?"I looked at him. "You were drunk. You were upset. You needed someone. I was there for you."His eyes were wide open. "No. No, this didn't happen. Tell me we didn't sleep together."I said nothing.He jumped off the bed, pulling up his pants. Then he came to my side and grabbed my arm roughly."You tricked me, didn't you?" he yelled. "You planned this!""No!

Chapter Ninety NineHer ScentI was in the packhouse living room, holding a pillow to my chest. It was quiet in the room. The fire was low in the fireplace, and the night air was cold. I had just come back from my parents' house. I missed them, but I missed Damon more while I was away.I smiled to myself as I thought about him. I wanted to surprise him with my return, maybe cook for him, maybe cuddle in his arms like we used to. I missed his warmth, his scent, his laughter. I missed the way he would look at me as if I was the only person in the world.I heard the door open.My heart pounded.He was back.I sat up straight right away and turned toward the door, expecting his smile. But Damon didn't smile. He walked in slowly, shoulders tense, eyes brooding. He didn't even look at me."Hey," I said softly, attempting to make him look at me.He nodded just and walked by me. No hug. No kiss. No words. He was… different."Damon?" I said softly. "Is everything okay?"He didn't answer. He ju

Chapter 166 : I Choose YouSophia's POVI leaned in the hallway, not breathing, and not moving. My back pressed against the cold of the wall, and my hands shaking. I had not meant to eavesdrop. I had come only to leave Damon his scarf—it was cold outside, and he would forget. But then I heard their voices. The elders. Their words. And all inside me came to a stop.".you owe us an heir, Alpha Damon. Long enough.""You have been ruling almost two decades. We cannot imagine the pack suffering in the years ahead. What if you fell ill?""We are no longer asking. If you do not have an heir, we will be left with no choice but to choose a new alpha.""We warned you once before. This is the last warning. Make up your mind for duty. Or step down."I clapped my hand on my mouth to cut off the sound that yearned to be released. Tears filled my eyes, but I didn't cry—not here. Not yet.

Chapter 165: The Warning From POV: DamonThe messenger came early in the morning.I was just stepping out of my room when he bowed deeply and said, “The Council of Elders wants to see you. It is urgent.”I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t delay.I already knew what this was about.They had warned me before. Quiet words. Careful suggestions. Whispered reminders about duty and legacy.But this time… this time felt different.The air was heavy as I walked through the stone hallway of the council chamber.The guards at the door opened the heavy doors without a word. I stepped in.Five elders sat in a half-circle, dressed in their long, grey robes. Their faces were lined with age, wisdom—and disappointment.I bowed slightly out of respect, then straightened and waited.Elder Marcus, the oldest and most direct, spoke first.“Alpha Damon. We’ve been patient with you. We’ve warned you. But now, we must speak plainly.”His voice was cold. Final.I didn’t respond. I simply looked him in the eye.

He'd return soon, he said. But my mind… my heart… it was not at peace.No amount of trying could keep out my thoughts of the baby.Cara's baby.A small, innocent child who hadn't wanted to be born into all this ugliness. A baby who didn't know about betrayal, or lying, or pain. A small life, less than six months old.My heart ached.I was supposed to be angry. I was supposed to despise Cara. She enticed me. She left me there in that darkness. She didn't care if I lived or died.But every time I recalled that child… I recalled those little fingers… that tender face…Tears filled my eyes.It wasn't the baby's fault.I stood up and walked cautiously towards Damon's study.

The maids rushed forward, shocked to see her like this. I said nothing.No one needed to speak. They saw it on my face. They saw the danger in my silence.“Leave,” I told them.And they left.I laid Sophia gently on the bed, still holding her hand. Her lips were dry. Her eyes were barely open. She had been through hell, andg she still didn’t complain“You’re home,” I whispered. “You’re safe now, Sophia. I’m here.”She didn’t say anything. She just blinked slowly, like she was still trying to believe it.I stood up and ran to the bathroom.I filled the tub with warm water and laid out soft towels.Then I came back, picked her up again, and carried her to the bathroom

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.

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.
