Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna): Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Everything throbbed—my muscles, my head, my overheated skin—leaving me sweaty and shivering, my surroundings spinning. Collapsing and retching in the dirt, I expelled everything from my gut before steadying my breath. Gathering my bearings, I saw Ray cornered by my friends, teeth bared, facing them in an unexpected act of defiance. It seemed they awaited my cue, puzzled by my recent actions, perhaps granting one final chance to side with Ray. That, however, was never an option. After all he had put me through, there was no chance of redemption. I pushed myself upright, only to fall back in distress. I had to join the fray, end this conflict once and for all.Scanning for support to stand, I spotted my friends encircling Ray on one side and a perilous ravine on the other. Grateful I hadn't been closer during my transformation, I crawled closer to the pack, creating space from the edge before attempting to rise again. Despite nausea and blurred vision, I managed to struggle to my feet,

"Have you known for long?" I spoke softly, my voice barely audible, almost a whisper."I had suspicions during our full moon shift, but I only just confirmed it," he admitted."But Ray..." I knew wolves could have a second chance at a mate if their first passed, but finding a second mate was rare, especially for someone like me who hadn't even found a first."He's gone," Tony said, his words carrying unspoken thoughts of his own loss. He'd loved deeply before, and if anyone deserved happiness again, it was him.Tony's thumb traced my face gently, a touch that soothed me in ways I hadn't expected. I didn't want it to end."What does this mean?" I asked."If you'll have me, we can complete the bond," he replied."But we've already been intimate," I pointed out."Back then, you were meant for someone else," he explained."Sorry to interrupt," Danielle interjected, "but did I hear right? You both feel a mating bond?""Some shifters have all the luck," Billy remarked."Congratulations, you

"Your attempt to challenge the king doesn't sound too impressive," I cautioned.Harold chuckled. "I always imagined my kids would be little troublemakers like me."A smile crept onto my face. "Well, time will tell if you're full of it or if you've got what it takes.""True," Harold agreed, resuming our trek through the woods until I spotted a car in the distance. "Is there a road ahead?""That's our ride," Harold confirmed. "And yes, there's a road. Did you think I walked here from Chicago?""I didn't really consider it," I admitted. It was an aged, unremarkable grey sedan, but as long as it got us there, I wasn't complaining."Glad to take a break from walking," Malcom remarked as I settled into the back seat with Star while he occupied the front next to Harold.The car rattled when the engine roared, but it steadied once in motion. Hopefully, it would hold together long enough for our arrival.We traveled along a rough gravel road, the car kicking up a cloud of dust behind us, the g

The crowd erupted in cries of surprise, sparking excited conversations that surged through the throng. Most of the shifters likely recognized Harold, which left me in a quandary. What was my next move? Leaving them stranded wasn’t an option, but intervening would mean joining their fate. Before I could ponder further, someone seized my arm, and I nearly let out a scream, stifling it just in time. Star appeared at my side, her expression frantic."What happened?" I hissed urgently."They nabbed them as soon as Harold emerged from the secret passage," she said. "Injected them both with that damn toxin.""Damn. What's our plan now?" I asked, the urgency palpable."I have the antidote, but I can't administer it while they're on display," she replied."Do you think they'll take them somewhere else?" I queried."How would I know?" she whispered."Fair point," I conceded. "We'll have to adapt as it unfolds."Star and I stood in tense silence as we waited for the king to address the gathering

His body tensed, signaling his intent, yet his position was flawed. Almost missed it, but my human side caught the subtle adjustment—he was about to feign an attack, aiming to turn my own game against me. I swiftly moved, anticipating his altered angle, and narrowly evaded his strike. Passing control to my wolf, she veered around, slashing her claws deep into his side as we darted past.His howls echoed, but my wolf pressed on, delivering another fierce blow to his face. The king, dazed and unprepared for our speed, struggled to match our agility. Each time he adjusted, we were there, ready to strike again with teeth or claws.Aware of our limitation in strength, we adopted a relentless and swift strategy, refraining from a power play or flashy moves. The king's wolf retaliated, pinning us a few times, yet we wriggled free, persistently attacking.Exhaustion began to slow us down, and the king, though limping, persisted. Unexpectedly, he charged, knocking my wolf down. The impact diso
