JASPER'S POV

The person who was knocking on the door turned out to be one of Carlos' friends, who came to call on him so they could chill out for the night.

I stayed on the bed, trying hard to wipe off the buzz of depressing thoughts that filled up my head, but nothing helped at all as I kept rolling all over the bed with my body turning sweaty.

I gave up after a while of trying to sleep, then lazily rolled into a sitting position. “Ah!” I shouted, raising my head to the ceiling.

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 70 The Space Between us

    DEUS POVOur sessions had settled into a routine neither of us had ever actually talked about. We trained in the mornings on the empty stretch of field behind the old equipment shed, where hardly anyone ever went, and spent our evenings with textbooks scattered across my floor while she quizzed me on pack law terms I still couldn’t seem to remember.Neither of us had ever actually talked about the schedule. It just happened naturally over the past week. One day turned into the next, and before long, showing up at the same time had become something we both did without even thinking about it.I found myself noticing things about her lately that I probably shouldn't have been paying quite so much attention to.The way she pushed her hair back impatiently when she was concentrating hard on something. The way her nose scrunched slightly whenever she disagreed with something I said but decided not to argue about it directly.The way, whenever she genuinely enjoyed herself, whenever some sma

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 69 Something that's mine

    TATIANA'S POV •••••••• He took a while to finally say what was on his mind. I watched him struggle through several half-finished sentences, starting over each time, until I realized that whatever he was trying to tell me wasn’t easy for him to say out loud. "That thing I almost told you last time," He finally said, sitting across from me at his desk, the tutoring books we had been using still spread out between us from an hour of actual studying that had genuinely surprised me with how well he had focused. "I remember," I said, setting down my pen and giving him my full attention. "I want you to help me train," he said. "For the championship, even though I'm officially off the team now." I stared at him for a moment, genuinely confused by the request. "Deus, you don't have a team anymore," I said carefully. "No coach, no roster spot, nothing to actually train toward at this point. What exactly would you even be training for?" "I know how it sounds," he said, his jaw tightening

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 68 Behind his silence

    TATIANA'S POV Deus stared at the graded paper sitting on his desk for a long time before he actually said anything, and I watched him do it, watched the way his jaw tightened around whatever number was printed at the top of that page, though he angled it just enough that I couldn't quite make out the actual grade from where I sat. "That bad," I asked, nodding toward the paper. "Bad enough," he said, finally setting it face down, though the gesture felt more like defeat than actual privacy at this point. We sat in silence for a moment, the same comfortable silence that had settled between us over the past several days, though tonight it carried a slightly different weight, something heavier sitting underneath his usual quiet. "I need to ask you something," He finally said, and his voice came out steady than I had heard it in days, careful in a way that immediately told me whatever he was about to say cost him something to actually admit out loud. "Okay," I said, waiting. "Will yo

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 67 Same Time Tomorrow

    DEUS POV By the fourth day, I stopped bothering to tell her to leave, and somewhere between the second and third visit, I had already started leaving the door unlocked before she even arrived, telling myself it was simply easier than getting up every single time to let her in. I hadn't admitted, even to myself, that it meant anything beyond convenience. She showed up again that evening carrying a covered plate from the dining hall, the same way she had every single day since that first tense argument, and by now the routine had settled into something almost comfortable, though neither of us had actually acknowledged out loud that it had become exactly that. "You're late," I said, not looking up from the textbook I had been pretending to read for the past twenty minutes. "Since when do you keep track," she said, setting the plate down on my desk before settling into the same chair she always claimed now, the one closest to the window. "Since you started showing up at the same time

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 66 The One Who Stayed

    DEUS POVThe smell of something warm reached me before I even opened my eyes properly, and for one disoriented second, still caught in the fog of barely three hours of actual sleep, I thought I was imagining it entirely.I turned my head and found Tatiana already sitting on the small chair near my desk, a covered plate balanced on her lap, watching me with an expression I couldn't immediately place, and the sight of her there, calm and unbothered like this was somehow a normal thing for either of us, sent a spike of irritation through me before I had even fully processed what I was looking at."What are you doing here," I said, sitting up too fast, my head spinning slightly from the sudden movement."I told you I'd come back," she said, setting the plate down carefully on the edge of my desk, her voice steady in a way that only made me feel more unsteady.“I don’t remember asking you to,” I said, my voice sharper than I meant it to be. I was embarrassed that she had found me half asle

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 65 Checking up on Him

    TATIANA'S POVOn the way to his door, I came up with three different excuses for being there. But each one fell apart before I could convince myself. By the time I raised my hand to knock, I had given up on all of them. I stood there instead, wondering what I would even say when he opened the door.The door swung open before I could decide.Deus stood there, and the rumors had clearly not told the whole story.His eyes were tired and dark beneath them, like he hadn’t slept properly in days. He looked thinner than I remembered, as if the stress and exhaustion had taken a lot out of him."Tatiana," he said, blinking at me like he genuinely couldn't process what he was seeing standing outside his own door. "What are you doing here?""I heard you weren't doing well," I said, my voice coming out steadier than I actually felt. "I figured I should check in.""Check in," He repeated, studying my face carefully, like he was searching for some hidden motive I hadn't admitted to yet."You helped
