Selina's POV.

Declan walked ahead of me, alert and silent. He was holding Ethan while I carried Eva, her tiny arms curled sleepily around my neck.

The forest was silent. Unnaturally so.

“Declan,” I whispered, quickening my steps to catch up to him. He was ahead, moving confidently despite the darkness, despite the weight of a sleepy toddler pressed against his chest. “Are you sure about this? About this path?”

He turned slightly. “It’s the only way we don’t run into anyone. It’ll take us to the bottom of the cliffs. I stashed a carriage there weeks ago. I’ve been preparing for this.”

I swallowed. Weeks ago. So he had known something would go wrong all along.

What is really going on?

Eva stirred in my sling, her small head pressing against my collarbone. “Mama,” she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep.

“Yes, baby?”

“Where are we going?”

I forced a soft smile into my voice. “We’re going on a holiday, sweetheart. Remember the little vacation we talked about? Where there are bunnies and b

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter thirty five.

    Malik's POV.I stepped out of my room, tugging at the sleeve of my shirt while my mind whirred through the list of things I had to address today, more equipments for the new warriors intakes, supply shortages in different different quarters of the pack. Just the usual chaos of a day. But just as I took two strides down the hallway, I heard the unmistakable giggle of the only person in this entire world who has been my motivation through the past years. The will to wake up everyday and desire to be alive.Annabelle.“Daddy!”Her small body slammed into my legs before I could react, her tiny arms wrapping tightly around my waist. I couldn't hold back my laughter as I scooped her up with ease, her curls brushing my chin as she giggled into my neck.“Annabelle,” I murmured, holding her close as she buried her face in my shoulder. “You almost knocked me off my feet, little wolf.”She giggled, that sweet, wild laugh that always, no matter what mood I was in managed to melt the worst of it.

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter thirty four.

    Selina's POV.Declan walked beside me, silent, his presence was peaceful, yet unable to quiet the storm inside me.I clenched my fingers around the thin fabric of my shirt and forced my chin higher. But it didn’t stop the thundering of my heart. It didn’t stop the shaking in my knees or the tightness in my chest.I was scared.God, I was terrified.No matter how much I tried to rationalize it, to act like I was okay, the truth was clawing its way out from inside of me. I was walking toward my past... toward Malik. The mate I had loved. The man who had once made my heart dance with just a glance. The same man who had nearly destroyed me.And I hated that even now, despite everything, I didn’t know what I would feel when I saw him again.Would my chest ache for him? Would I break? Would I run?I didn’t know. And not knowing scared me even more.“Selina,” Declan’s voice broke through the noise in my mind. His fingers reached out and brushed against mine, then gently wrapped around them

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter thirty three.

    Selina's POV.I stirred on the bed, rolling from one point to the other, different thoughts running through my head.Declan was nowhere to be found, and I was worried. Since last night when he was stabbed and dragged away, I haven't caught a sight of him, what do they want with him too? I mean they only need to hold my kids captive so I can dance to their tunes, there's no need keeping him with them too. I really need him right now, my head is in a hassle and him missing is making things worse.My mind suddenly drifted to my kids and a low whimper fled my mouth.I couldn't stop wondering what faith they could be suffering now in the hands of the strange man.Are they locked up in a prison, left for cold to blow their lives away? Could they be crying right now, seeking for their parents?I couldn't imagine the fright freezing them up right now, being away from Declan and I. Ethan and Eva don't in any way deserve this. There's no way I was going to let them remain in that devil's t

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   chapter thirty two.

    Declan's POV.My eyelids were heavy… too heavy. It was like I was trying to rise from beneath a thick, suffocating fog. My limbs refused to cooperate at first. I didn’t know how long I’d been unconscious, only that my body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache, but I forced my eyes open eventually.And there she was.Sitting in the far corner of the room, legs crossed, her eyes fixed on me with a disturbing calmness.My mother.The surge of fury that rushed through me was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. My heartbeat roared in my ears. She was the reason Selina and the kids were gone. She was the reason I’d been stabbed and dragged away like an animal in my own pack, unable to protect the very people I’d sworn with my life to shield.“You,” I growled, angrily. “What the hell have you done with Selina and the kids?”Her lips curled into a smile, a cruel, mocking smile that I’d known all my life.“I see you’re awake,” she said lightly, as if I’d just returned from a nap and

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter thirty one.

    Selina's POVThe darkness was suffocating.I couldn’t see. I couldn’t even blink. My lashes fluttered against a coarse, thick fabric wrapped around my head, pulled tightly, binding me in pitch black silence. My limbs ached, my wrists were numb and my legs stiff.I wanted to scream.But my throat was dry, it hurt to breathe, let alone cry out.Panic clawed at my chest as I struggled to make sense of where I was. What had happened. Why my body felt like it had been hit by a truck.And then, like the cruel rewinding of a nightmare I remembered.The pack boundary. The masked faces.Declan wounded and taken away.The agonizing cries of my kids. The memory hit me like a shot, and I gasped against the gag in my mouth, my whole body trembling violently. My babies. Where were they?"Eva,” I sobbed into the gag. "Ethan."I couldn’t even hear my own voice. The gag muffled everything, turning my cries into whispers but I kept trying. Trying to scream, to curse, to beg whoever might be listening

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter twenty nine.

    Selina's POV.Three years.Three whole, beautiful, exhausting, miraculous years.I sat cross legged on the edge of my bed, folding little shirts into the box, trying my best to match socks that somehow had an ancient talent for vanishing. I can't believe it's been three years already, watching them all grown now brought tears to my eyes. Now, I barely remember the pain from my terrible past because my beautiful set of twins has a way of wiping those ugly memories away, the sight of them alone filled my heart with so much joy. How time really flies. Declan and I had jointly came up with their names. Ethan and Eva.A smile tugged at my lips as I held one of their tiny shirts to my chest. They’d grown so fast. Every day felt like a new chapter. But no matter the chapter, one name never left the story.Declan.His name settled in my chest like it always did, his strength, his presence. Always there. Always waiting. Always him.I blinked back the sudden wetness that stung my eyes. I wa

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter twenty eight.

    Malik's POV.I walked back to the training ground, anger simmering inside me.I couldn't exactly understand how I felt, but my whole body was literally trembling. I wasn't ready for this, not with Chloe. How do I have a child with a woman that I despise so much? How do I father a child that I absolutely do not want? "Alpha!" I quickly turned around as I heard someone call. It was one of my guards."Chloe has put to bed, Alpha," my heart skipped as his words hit me hard.The baby has arrived? What do I do now? How do I react? What am I supposed to do next?I was totally confused. This would have been a lot easier if it was Selina. "Alpha?" the guard's voice snapped me out of my trance. He was still standing and watching my confused state."It's alright, you can go ahead, I'll be at the clinic shortly," I stuttered. He bowed slightly and left. I exhaled a deep breath and headed towards the clinic, every step I took, my heartbeat increased rapidly. I stood outside the door, breat

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter twenty seven.

    Malik's POV.It’s been a few months since Chloe claimed to be pregnant with my child, and she's been living with me ever since. But let’s make one thing clear... her being here doesn't mean I’ve chosen her as my second chance mate, nor have I marked her as my Luna.I allowed her to stay only so that she and the child would be taken care of. Afterward, I planned to arrange a place where they could live far away from me. And thank goodness, her delivery date is fast approaching.Marriage was never in the cards for us. I don’t care whether or not she finds a mate for life because of her situation, she never thought about that when she snuck into my bed, did she?Rumors about us were already circulating, but I turned a deaf ear to them. I am the Alpha; no one dictates my decisions. There’s only one mate for me, and that’s Selina. Since she’s gone, no one else will ever claim that place. I’ve made up my mind, I will remain mateless for the rest of my life as my punishment for what I did to
