~ Doris ~

Darkness slowly loosened its grip on me.

At first, everything felt heavy—my body, my head, even my thoughts. It was like I was floating somewhere far away, stuck between sleep and something deeper. My eyelids fluttered, but opening them felt like work.

Then, little by little, I became aware of my surroundings.

I forced my eyes open.

The light above me felt too bright at first, making me squint. My vision blurred, then slowly cleared. White ceiling. Pale walls. A

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 91

    ~ Doris ~“Mom, this is a very hurtful story,” I said, leaning forward on the edge of the bed, my voice quieter now.My mother let out a slow breath and nodded.“Yes, honey… it was very hurtful for me,” she said softly. Her eyes looked far away, like she was seeing things that happened many years ago.I frowned slightly, trying to process everything she had just told me about Jackson Black.“So now I can see it,” I said after a moment. “Jackson Black is still the same. He’s just being petty… starting an unnecessary war, just to stress you out. Just like before.”Mom’s expression hardened a little at the mention of his name.“He has always been self-centered,” she said. “Even when we were teenagers. And I honestly don’t think he will ever change.”Silence settled between us for a moment.Then I looked at her more carefully.“So… Do you regret it?” I asked quietly. “Do you regret the decisions you made twenty-five years ago?”She didn’t answ

    “It’s not what you think, Jackson,” I said quickly, stepping in front of Charles and pushing him slightly behind me.I knew my brother.And I knew how dangerous he could be.Jackson tilted his head, a slow smile spreading across his face.“Oh, little sister,” he said calmly, “do you even know what I’m thinking?”My throat tightened.“Jackson… please,” I said, my voice softer now. “Just listen—”“Listen?” he cut in, his tone turning sharp. “Instead of helping your pack grow stronger by marrying Alpha Samuel… you chose this?”His eyes moved to Charles.From head to toe.Like he was looking at something worthless.Before I could speak again, the door behind Charles opened.His grandmother stepped out.She looked weak, her body slightly bent, her breathing uneven. She held onto the doorframe for support, clearly struggling just to stand.“Charles…” she called softly.“Grandma, go back inside,” Charles said quickly, rushing to h

    ~ Doris ~“Mom… I’m listening,” I said, my voice low but firm. “Whatever you’ve been hiding, you need to tell me.”She didn’t answer immediately.Her hands trembled slightly in mine, and I could feel the fear in her grip. It wasn’t just nervousness—it was something deeper. She took a slow breath.Then another.“Honey,” she began softly, her voice almost breaking, “the truth is I’m not from Moon Pack.”I frowned, confused.“What do you mean?”“I wasn’t born here,” she continued. “I came from another pack. I left my home years ago after my family disowned me.”My heart skipped.“Disowned you?” I repeated.She nodded slowly, her eyes dropping.“They turned their backs on me because I chose love,” she said quietly. “I wanted to marry your father—a man without power, and to them, that was unacceptable. My parents and my brother cut me off completely.”Something about the way she said brother made my chest tighten.A bad feeling crep

    I called the meeting with the crescent brotherhood.There was no more time to think. No more time to hesitate.Obviously, I’m not handing over the girl Jackson claims is his sister.War is inevitable.If Thunder Pack was serious and I knew Jackson Black well enough to know he was—then we didn’t have days to waste arguing or doubting.We had to prepare.And that meant calling the Brotherhood.****The meeting room felt colder than usual.The long table stood at the center, polished and silent, like it was waiting for something bad to happen. I stepped inside, my eyes scanning the room.Four seats were occupied.It used to be five.Drake’s chair was empty.He had meant every word when he said he was cutting ties. No second thoughts. I pushed that thought aside and walked to my seat.Roman sat across from me, leaning back like he was waiting for trouble. His expression was already irritated, like being here was a waste o

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 87

    ~ Ryder ~I left the clinic immediately after hearing Ms. D’s secret.My mind was not clear. It felt like everything I thought I knew had been shaken. I needed space. I needed silence. I needed air that didn’t feel like it was closing in on me.I walked out without saying much to anyone.The moment I was outside, I started moving faster. Then I ran.I didn’t even know where I was going at first. My legs just carried me. My chest felt tight, like something was pressing hard against it. Every thought in my head was loud, confusing, and heavy.And somehow I ended up at the lake.The same one.The same place I had come to two years ago when everything in my life fell apart.I stopped at the edge, breathing hard.My eyes stayed on the still water.And just like that… the memories came back.Two years ago.After I found Nana hung at the entrance of the pack house.That day broke something inside me.I remember everything clearly,

It was like I was floating somewhere far away, stuck between sleep and something deeper. My eyelids fluttered, but opening them felt like work.Then, little by little, I became aware of my surroundings.I forced my eyes open.The light above me felt too bright at first, making me squint. My vision blurred, then slowly cleared. White ceiling. Pale walls. A familiar room.The clinic.I tried to remember the last thing that happened before I lost consciousness. My thoughts came slowly at first, heavy and unclear, until they finally settled on the rooftop—the moment just before everything went dark.A soft sound reached my ears.Someone was crying.I turned my head slightly, my neck protesting with the small movement. That was when I saw her.Mom.She sat beside my bed, her shoulders shaking slightly. Her head was low

    Morning light slipped through the heavy curtains. I woke slowly, my body was heavy and sore in the best way. Every muscle ached from the fight, from the victory, and from the way Ryder had taken me last night until I couldn’t think of anything but him.I was still naked under the sheets,

    The car barely stopped before Ryder yanked the door open. He didn’t wait for the driver—he just scooped me up, my torn white gown bunched around my waist, my bare skin pressing against his half-open shirt. My legs wrapped around his hips instinctively, and his mouth was already on mine, hung

    ~ Doris ~But I wasn’t the same girl who had been pushed around for years.The referee’s voice finally echoed through the speakers.“Final round for the title of Luna of the Year. Luna Doris of Moon Pack versus Luna Nova of Star Pack. Please return to the circle.”Ryder squeezed m

    CHAPTER 50The arena was still buzzing when the referee stepped forward again, raising his hand for silence.“The winner of the second section…” his voice rang out, cutting through the noise, “Luna of Sun Pack—Celina!”Cheers exploded across the field.“Sun Pack!”“Celina!”
