Rejected By One, Claimed By Another A Broken Bond
Chapter Thirty-Five: A Broken Bond(Liam’s POV)The tension in the air was thick as we walked back to the packhouse. No one spoke, but I could feel the weight of everyone’s emotions pressing down on me. My father walked with his usual authority, his shoulders squared, while my mother’s face held a smug expression. Vanessa followed closely behind, satisfaction clear in her eyes.Sophia was the only one who looked furious. She walked beside Cara, her hand gripping Cara’s arm, as if she was afraid she would collapse.Cara, on the other hand, looked numb. Her face was pale, her lips slightly parted, and her eyes were swollen from crying. She didn’t try to wipe her tears anymore. She just walked, silent and broken.And I forced myself not to care.I clenched my jaw and reminded myself that I was doing what was best for the pack.When we arrived at the packhouse, the entire pack had gathered. The grand hall was full—elders, warriors, omegas—everyone was here, waiting for my decision. They h

Chapter Thirty Six : Elder’s SummonLiam's POVThe air within the packhouse was heavy with tension, the kind that had my wolf running back and forth. Cara stood quietly in the corner of the great meeting room, her arms wrapped tightly around her belly. Her tear-stained eyes were a combination of fear and determination.I was standing by my father, the Alpha, with my mother, Luna, by his side. Vanessa was lurking around them, pretending to be innocent, and Sophia was standing by Cara, clearly displeased with what was happening.The door opened creakily, and the pack elders entered. They were elderly, wise, and highly regarded. Their arrival was enough to make everyone straighten up."Alpha," the eldest among them, Elder Tobias, bowed deeply to my father before turning his intense stare on Cara. "We have come because of the child."My father's face darkened. "The child?""Yes. The one Cara is carrying " Elder Tobias turned his gaze on Cara, its meaning impossible to read. "That child wi

Chapter Thirty Seven : SmarterCara's POVThe room was quiet save for the soft crackling of the fire. The dim light had long shadows cast upon the walls, and the room seemed unusually chilly despite warmth in the air. I was sitting on the edge of my own bed, staring at myself in the mirror at the far end of the room.I should have been sleeping, but my mind would not quiet.Too much had happened.Too many betrayals.I placed my hand upon my stomach, pressing down lightly into the life pulsating softly within me. My pup. The only thing that had kept me from shattering completely.My entire life, I'd been instructed that I was weak, an omega nothing but a liability. That was a lie.I didn't require proof.I wasn't weak.I'd been a warrior.Before Caleb had cast me aside, I had trained with some of the best fighters in his pack. I had battled with ferocity in combat, defended my people, and proved myself time and time again. My body might have been warped into the form of an omega, but n

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The TrapCara’s POVVanessa’s smirk faltered, just for a second. Just long enough for me to see the tiniest crack in her confidence. She expected me to be weak, to be swaying from whatever poison she thought she had fed me.But I was smarter.I stayed slumped in the chair, pretending to struggle, letting my eyelids flutter as if I were losing consciousness. The moment stretched between us, her breath coming in excited little pants as she thought she was watching me crumble.“Poor little Cara,” she whispered, crouching next to me. “I almost feel bad for you.”I made my body shudder. Let my fingers twitch. Made my breath come shallow.Vanessa let out a quiet laugh, victorious.And then, I struck.With a sudden movement, I shot forward, grabbing her by the collar of her dress and yanking her toward me. Her gasp was sharp, eyes widening in terror as she realized too late—she had been the fool, not me.“Surprise,” I whispered, my grip tightening around the fabric.Van

Chapter Thirty Nine : The Plan Of SchemeCara’s PovJust then, the door burst open, and Luna stepped in. Her presence filled the room with authority, her eyes scanning the situation carefully. It was as if the air in the room changed the moment she arrived, demanding attention and obedience.“What is going on here?” she demanded, her sharp gaze moving between me, Liam, and Vanessa.Vanessa turned to her instantly, her tears falling even faster. “Luna,” she gasped, her voice shaking. “Thank the Moon Goddess you’re here! Cara—she attacked me. And now, she’s lying about me poisoning her to make Liam hate me!”My heart pounded in my chest. I should have known she would twist the story even further. Vanessa was a master at playing the victim, making herself look innocent while painting me as the villain.Luna’s eyes narrowed as she looked at me. “Is this true, Cara?”I opened my mouth to speak, but Vanessa cut in before I could even get a word out.“She just wants Liam to hate me!” she cri

Chapter Forty : Recue In The DarkSophia’s POVI wiped the sweat off my forehead as I walked back from the training ground. My whole body ached, but I felt happy. After so many days of training, I was finally good at fighting. Cara would be proud of me. She always told me to be strong, to never give up. I couldn’t wait to tell her.As I entered the packhouse, I smiled to myself. I was already imagining Cara’s reaction. She would probably hug me and say, I knew you could do it!I hurried toward her room, excited to share the news. But as I got closer, something felt wrong. The door was slightly open, and the air inside the room felt cold.I stepped inside.My heart stopped.Cara was lying on the floor. She wasn’t moving. Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was slow—too slow.“Cara?” My voice shook as I ran to her side. “Cara, wake up!”She didn’t respond.I placed my hand on her face. She was so cold. My chest tightened in fear. What happened to her? She was fine before!I touched

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

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.

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.

I waited.For him.Damon.Please, Damon. come.I couldn't help but replay that moment when Caleb finally handed me his phone and said, "Text him. Tell him where you are.

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.

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

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.
