Rejected By The Beta, Accepted By The Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

~Nathan~ I turned slowly on seeing his eyes on me, Xander also craned his neck and stared at me, a deep frown on his face. “What’s this about?” He muttered the sound of his voice sent shivers down my spine. I gulped down nothing as I began to feel a sickening sensation in the pit of my stomach. Alpha Romulus diverted his eyes to another direction and I felt my nerves relax a bit. “I don’t have any accomplice from your Pack,” Alpha Romulus muttered. Xander scoffed, his eyes darkening in anger. He craned his neck backward and nodded for me to come closer. My heart skipped as I obeyed his instruction and trudged closer. He grabbed my neck and pushed me against the blood-covered table. “He is the one, isn’t he?” he growled, tightening his grip on my neck. I felt my vitals contract as oxygen vanished from my body, and my eyes became teary as a result of his hold on my neck. “Alpha…” I coughed out. Alpha Romulus stared blankly at me. With the way he stared, I think he

~Elena~ I wished for the ground to open and swallow me up with the way Xander stared murderously at us. I pushed Nathan away from me and bowed my head in shame. Why now? Why does he have to appear now? My heartbeat accelerated and I felt it would burst out of my chest as Xander’s eerie footsteps approached my direction. I couldn’t see his face, but only the sight of his feet sent shivers gushing down my spine. I gripped the hemline of the bathrobe and clenched my teeth, biting my lips to stop me from crying out before his punishments started. I looked at his feet again, it was just an inch away from me, and, oh gracious goddess, I wondered if I would survive the heat of his anger wheezing toward me. I shut my eyes and bit my lips harder, my chest constricting in panic and almost knocking out breath from my body. My ears itched when I heard a loud crash beside me, my eyes snapped open in curiosity when a groan followed. I swerved my head and my throat knotted when I s

~Elena~ I managed to get past the guards without attracting attention to myself. I crept past the block that had the sign ‘restricted area’ boldly written on it. When I crossed the boundary, I began to walk as fast as my legs could allow. I kept glancing back to ensure that no one was following me. Unlike the other night, I walked cautiously this time, avoiding sharp rocks and digging my toes into the hot sand to keep me steady and stop me from rolling down the sloppy little hill. I grinned out in relief when I caught sight of the old bent house on top of the mountain. I took time to study the house. Who could have lived here? Did the beast destroy the residents and occupy the house? I better find out,” I muttered and trudged towards the house, quickening my pace. My eyes never left the house as I climbed the mountain that held it. Xander, will you come to save me? I’m putting myself in trouble again, you better come and save me when things get messy. ~Xand

~Xander~ I watched the elders as they scampered out of the throne room one after the other. Someone has started a rebellion because of Romulus’s death and the capture of his Pack. The elders have brought the matter before, begging me to release the pack to Romulus’s heir. “Alpha, please, have a rethink on your decision. These rebels might start a war against our Pack,” one of the elders brought up an issue that has been finalized. I snapped my angry eyes at him and he shuddered. “If they want war, then they will get war. I, Alexander Lucius, surrender to no one!” My declaration got him bowing humbly in respect. “Forgive me, Alpha, your word is our command,” he quickly cleared up his previous comment and scampered off. I sighed and slumped into my throne, chuckling at their weakness. How can they be afraid of a rebellion started by Romulus’s son? If I can destroy Romulus, who is his son? “Alpha…” a familiar voice muttered in the throne room. I looked up and scoffed

~Nathan~My outburst made her feet stop functioning.“Don’t you want to know who the beast is?” I muttered, knowing that she wouldn’t walk away from such a tempting topic. I knew she had gone to the restricted area to find the beast. This is the perfect way to separate Elena from Xander. Making the other feel betrayed and lied to. She turned around slowly and fixed her glaring eyes on me.“What do you have up your sleeve this time around,” she snapped, I could tell from the tone of her voice that she was secretly eager to hear what I wanted to reveal.“Have you ever wondered why the Alpha is ignorant concerning the beast?” I questioned and she furrowed her brows.My heart skipped in excitement when I discovered that she had been immersed in the conversation.“You are supposed to be answering my questions, not the other way round,” her snap made me bat my lashes in surprise.I nodded and cleared my throat to blurt out the secret Alpha Xander has been keeping from her; no,
