REJECTED, NOW DESIRED のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

“That's what cowards do! Attacking people at their lowest.” I smiled despite the throbbing of my heart. It had been so long since I had experienced something like this before. The fear was evident in my whole being as I tried to compose myself. ‘Amos.’ I mind-linked the man that was also alert beside me. ‘We should find a way to run, Alpha!’ He retorted back through the mind-link and I gave him a side eye as Ramsey and his people rejoyed at my problem. They were happy that now, they had gotten us off guard. ‘No, I won't run. I don't run like am a coward man just like the one in front of us.’ I answered through the mind-link. “Haha! I heard the kid that you are so much in love with despite the fact that you knew well that he wasn't your blood is also mine, what a privilege.” He continued, trying to make me lose it. But instead of being angry, I smiled at him. Although, the smile was just covering my outside facade while in reality, I was very angry at the man that all I wanted wa

### Edna's POVSuddenly, my heart started pounding, and I released my grip on Jack.I was completely uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to happen any moment.Was it about the dream? No, it was just a dream, nothing to worry about. Nothing would happen to Ansel. I tried to convince myself, but it was hard to believe.We had been in this room for almost five hours, and all that time, I had been terrified for unknown reasons.Since Ansel left for work, I had felt uneasy.Even though I was still angry at him, I didn't want anything bad to happen to him.Now, it was even worse. I was sweating.“Red?” Jack called, and I turned to him. “Why are you so pale? What just happened?”To my disbelief, my hands were shaking as I gazed at the evidence before me. This was not good. What the hell was going on?“N-nothing. I am just thinking. Nothing to worry about.” It felt like I was trying to convince myself rather than the child before me.“But you don't look well. Since the maids brought

THIRD PERSON POVAfter that day, Alpha Ansel's took a drastic change. He was never the same. The wound we thought was only small, continued to deepen and widen as time went by.Everyone in Crescent was scared of what might happen to their Alpha. In fact, the whole Titanic Wave was scared of their Alpha-King's life.People were heard whispering and murmuring to their friends about the health of their Alpha.“What will happen if he dies?” “Of course his brother, Amos will take over.” People would say.“No, no! That one has no quality of being an Alpha. He might be good at martial arts but he isn't intelligent.” Another one would say.“Our Alpha-King is not that good. He is cruel.”“He is cruel because he wants the best for all of us.” People would continue murmuring and whispering in their friends and relatives’ ears.Not only outside the packhouse but also in the packhouse.Servants, maids and slaves took this as a chance to lazy around. They didn't work as they used to. Gone were

Amos took a deep breath, meeting Edna's unwavering gaze. The decision was made, and he knew what he had to do, no matter how perilous it might be. “I will bring her,” he said, his voice steady but laced with a hint of trepidation. He turned and left the room, leaving Edna to tend to Alpha Ansel.Edna watched him go, her heart pounding. She turned back to Ansel, her hands trembling as she resumed wiping his face.“Hold on, my love, help is coming. Just hold on a little longer,” she whispered, though the uncertainty in her voice betrayed her fear.She then wiped the tears that were rolling down Ansel's eyes.“I have never seen you cry before. What might be going on in your head, my love?” She asked, her beautiful big eyes looking at him intensely.But Ansel didn't answer so she just sighed and continued applying the hearts all over his body.“You have a good body.” She blushed at the biceps of the man while teasing him with her hands.Luckily for her, Ansel was not himself. Or else the

Ansel's eyes were sharp and cold as they fixed on Mabel. He had just woken up, but it was as if he had been awake the entire time. The room felt like it had frozen over, and an uneasy silence settled among them."Who is that?" he repeated, his voice demanding an answer. His aura shocked the people who had just seen him recover.Mabel stepped forward, her face a mask of determination. "It's me, Ansel. I saved your life."Ansel’s expression darkened. “Who asked you to?”Edna and Amos went quiet, unable to say anything. Mabel turned to them for help, looking scared at the dark stare Ansel was giving her.“Amos and I told her to…” Edna tried to defend, but she was cut off by Ansel's sudden words.“Get out,” he shouted so loudly that Edna had to cover her ears.“What?” Mabel’s voice faltered, not expecting such hostility. All she had expected was a thank you from the man, but it seemed that, indeed, expectations killed a cat. Her heart sank at the way the man was shouting at her.“I said g
