Rejected by the Alpha king のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

The darkness was everywhere, pressing against me from all sides. I was lost, completely and utterly lost, stumbling through the woods on bare feet that were already numb from the cold and pain. The air was so cold and what I had on could barely protect me from the cold. Every instinct I possessed was screaming at me to turn around, to run as fast as my legs could carry me back to safety, but somehow I couldn't stop moving forward. It was as if invisible threads were wrapped around my limbs, tugging me deeper into the forest against my will.My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. I bent down to remove the grass around my leg when I suddenly felt another presence in front of me, confirming my feeling with the shadow before me I looked up. That's when I saw her, an old woman stood several yards ahead of me, her silhouette barely visible through the mist that curled and twisted between the trees. Her face was completely hidden beneath a

Marcus’s POV“ What do you know about Emily?” I asked“ I don't understand. Marcus…not today,” she held her hand in my face.“How do you know her?”The question came out sharper than I intended, my voice echoing off the stone walls of the chamber. My chest tightened as I stared at Beth, every muscle in my body tensed for her answer. She leaned back against the edge of the bath like she had nothing to hide, but the flicker of discomfort in her eyes betrayed her.“I don’t know what you mean,” she said lightly, though her smile didn’t reach her eyes.“Don’t lie to me, Beth. I know you're well aware of what I'm talking about,” My tone was low, dangerous. “You said Emily’s name. You knew who I was talking about. How?”She shifted, her body language betraying the confidence she tried to show. “Marcus, relax. I only meant what everyone else has been whispering. You think people don’t talk about the Alpha’s sudden little obsession with that Omega? You’ve made it obvious.”Her words stung, bu

Emily’s POVThe forest air was heavy in my lungs, I could hardly breathe.My legs trembled from exhaustion, I had been running for what felt like hours, every step fueled by the desperate hope of freedom.Then I froze.From the shadows, a low growl rumbled through the stillness, vibrating through the earth beneath me. My blood ran cold. I turned slowly, dread clawing up my spine, and there it was, glowing eyes, piercing straight into me. My body locked in fear. My escape attempt… it was over.I expected claws, teeth, and pain. Instead, what I saw made my stomach lurch.The wolf stopped a few feet away, its body quivering as bones shifted and cracked. My eyes widened in horror and disbelief as the beast began to transform. Fur receded, limbs twisted, the monstrous snout shrinking back into human features. I stumbled back, shielding my face with my hands until the process was complete.When I dared to look, a man stood before me, he was tall, broad-shouldered, his dark hair matted fr

Marcus’ POVThe moment I stepped back into the pack house, I felt the weight of everything I had left behind pressing down on me again. I climbed the staircase slowly, dragging my thoughts with me, each step reminding me that I had unfinished business.My hand pushed open the door to my room, and I froze.The space was not how I had left it. Candles flickered from every corner, casting shadows that danced across the walls, and rose petals were scattered across the floor and bed as if someone had staged a scene from a romance story. My brows furrowed, but the sound of a soft giggle drew my attention to the bed.Beth.She lay sprawled across the sheets, her body draped in nothing but a thin silk fabric that barely covered her curves. Her lips curled into a teasing smile as she stretched her hand toward me.“Finally, you’re back,” she purred, her voice dripping with seduction. “I’ve been waiting for you.”I clenched my jaw, conflicted. My body reacted instinctively to the sight of her,

Renon’s POVMy mind refused to rest. Even in the quiet of my bedchamber, tension coiled through my veins. I stood near the window, my gaze locked on the moon, its pale glow cutting across the stone floor.My Beta stood a few steps behind me, waiting for my command, his arms crossed tightly against his broad chest.“We double the guards at the girl’s chamber,” I said, my tone leaving no room for debate. “No one comes near her without my permission. No one.”He inclined his head in agreement. “Understood, Alpha. She’s already restrained, weakened. Do you still fear she might escape?”A growl rumbled in my throat, quiet but sharp enough to make him tense. “Fear? I do not fear her. But she is unpredictable. And unpredictability is dangerous. Emily has something about her, something even I can’t fully see. I won’t risk losing control of her again.”Before my Beta could respond, the door creaked open. I turned sharply, my irritation spiking.It was Lilith.She stepped inside with the kind
