Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder CHAPTER 146
“Ryder!” I screamed before I even realized I was speaking. My voice cracked through the silence of the burial ground.Everything stopped and all heads turned.My chest rose and fell too fast as I pointed shakily toward the far end of the trees.“Lu…ci…ous,” I stammered, barely able to get the name out.Ryder was beside me in an instant.“Hey—hey, look at me,” he said firmly, holding my shoulders. His grip was steady, but his eyes were full of worry. “Breathe, Doris. Talk to me slowly.”“I saw him,” I said quickly, breathless. “Lucious. He was right there, at the edge between the trees.”I pointed again, but this time there was nothing there. Just empty space.Only trees swaying softly in the wind.Ryder turned his head, scanning the exact spot I was pointing at.“There’s no one there,” he said gently, like he was trying not to hurt me.“No,” I shook my head hard. “He was there. I’m not lying.”Alpha Stone stepped forward slowly, his face tight with concern.“Ryder,” he said quietly, “

Ryder stood there staring at Blade’s coffin for several seconds without speaking.Like he still couldn’t believe Blade was truly inside it.Beside me, Julius lowered his voice softly.“Luna, you need to breathe.”A sob escaped my lips.“I can’t do this,” I whispered weakly. “I can’t.”“Yes, you can.”I shook my head immediately.“He died because of me.”“No,” Julius said firmly.I looked at him through blurred tears.“Blade made his own choice,” Julius continued softly. “Nobody forced him.”“But if I wasn’t dying—” I tried to say, but Julius cut me off before I could finish.“Then Ryder would’ve done it instead.”I froze completely.“What?”Julius instantly looked away like he regretted saying it.“You heard me,” he muttered quietly.“No,” I said quickly, grabbing his arm. “Tell me what you mean.”Julius looked away, his throat working as he swallowed hard. "I shouldn't be telling you this."“Julius!” I didn’t realize I was shouting until a few people turned to glance back at us. I qu

~ Doris ~It had already been five days since Blade died, yet it still didn’t feel real.Every morning, I kept expecting someone to tell me it was all a mistake. That Blade would walk through the doors with that calm smile of his and tell us we were all overreacting.But reality was cruel.Blade was gone.And today, we were finally laying him to rest. We couldn't keep him hanging in the silence of the morgue anymore…Blade wouldn’t want to be trapped in the cold for too longThe burial ground had been decorated with white flowers and black ribbons, but no amount of beauty could soften the pain in the air.Warriors stood in long silent rows dressed in black.Pack members gathered quietly behind them, many with tears in their eyes.Nobody spoke loudly.Even the children stayed quiet, as if they understood something sacred was happening.At the center of it all was Blade’s coffin covered in white lilies.Seeing it there made my chest

Blade’s fingers twitched, feebly interlacing with hers. "Hey, don't feel bad," he whispered, his voice a dry rattle. "It’s not your fault. I made a promise, remember? I told you... you wouldn't die on my watch. I’m just a man of my word."A violent tremor shook him. He leaned over the side of the bed and coughed out thick, dark blood that hit the white tile floor. Yet, when he looked back up, that haunting smile remained. He was dying, and he was at peace with it.Julius knelt on the other side, his face a mask of grief. "This wasn't the plan, Blade. We were supposed to lead this pack together. We were supposed to grow old together."Blade’s breathing became shallow, hitching in his chest. "Plans change, Julius. Especially after what my father did to this pack. I’ve carried his shame for so long. Maybe this balances the scales." He looked at me, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. “And I hope…” he struggled to breathe, “…you found his body and burned it to ashes.”His voice c

"I’m so sorry, brother," he whispered. It wasn't the apology of someone who had made a mistake, but it sounded like a final goodbye."Blade? Blade, are you okay?" I demanded, my heart hammering against my ribs.There was a short silence on the other end before he answered.“Yeah I’m fine, I guess.” He let out a weak breath. “You don’t need to worry anymore, our Doris is okay now. She’s here with me at the pack clinic… she’s stable.”Relief crashed into me so hard.“Thank God,” Ms. D whispered behind me.“You can come get her now,” Blade added softly.Then the call ended.Something about the way he said it made fear crawl up my spine.“We need to get to the clinic now!” I shouted.I ran out immediately without waiting for anyone else. Julius, Henry, and Ms. D followed after me.Within minutes, we were speeding through the dark roads.The rain hit hard against the windshield while Julius gripped the steering wheel tightly. Nobody spoke.My leg bounced uncontrollably as my mind replayed

Fifteen hours.Fifteen long, painful hours had passed since Doris and Blade disappeared, and every second felt heavier than the last.The unknown caller had gone silent, leaving us with nothing but a dead-end trail. We had scoured every lead, but Lucious remained a ghost, and the origin of that mysterious number was buried under layers of untraceable digital encryption.The tracking teams returned one after another with no results.The unknown number hadn’t sent another message since the video of Lucious, and no matter how hard our tech warriors tried, they still couldn’t trace the number.It was as if whoever was behind this had vanished into thin air.I stood near the large window in the living room, staring out into the darkness outside. The sky had already turned black hours ago, and rain tapped softly against the glass. My body ached from exhaustion, but my mind refused to rest.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Doris.And then I would remember

My throat closed up so tight I could barely get the words out.“That’s Nana,” I said. My voice sounded rough and far away.Doris tilted her head. Her eyes were soft and patient. She didn’t push, she just waited.“She was my closest friend back then in high school,” I said. “We met in

~ Doris ~After what Ryder did last night, leaving me aching and untouched, sex-starved for some “silly” pack-politics reason. I woke up furious.I remember the scream from earlier, how it tore out of me like something trapped for years finally breaking free. The nightmare came again

But I still wasn’t inside her yet.I flipped her onto her stomach gently, hands on her hips, lifting her ass up high so she was open and ready for me. Her knees sank into the mattress, back arched, face pressed into the pillow. She looked so perfect like that—shaking, needy, slick s

“Because when I do,” I growled, my voice low and deadly, “she’s gonna be stronger than any Luna you’ve ever seen. And when she steps into that Circle and drops every bitch who doubted her flat on her back… you’ll be the one choking on your own fucking tongue.”Roman’s eyes flicked. He tried t
