Semua Bab Rejected Mate: The Lycan King's claim: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Kai's POVThe wind howled as I drove into Jackson’s territory, the landscape shifting from the lush forests of my kingdom to the stark imposing structures of his pack. The palace loomed ahead, a mix of grandeur and foreboding, surrounded by dark clouds that seemed to match my mood. As I approached the entrance, something caught my eye, vehicles lined up in a way that made my stomach twist. The way they were arranged, and the huddled figures within, suggested something far more sinister than mere transportation. My instincts kicked in, a warning that gnawed at my conscience. I resolved to ask Jackson about it later, or perhaps Azra could discreetly look into it; I trusted her instincts more than my own sometimes.“Unexpected visit,” Jackson said, his voice smooth but strained, as silk pulled too tight. “I wasn’t prepared for company.”“It’s nothing to worry about,” I replied casually, keeping my tone even. “I didn’t come for a long trip. I only came to pick Roma.” I let the words hang

Kai's POV When Azra informed me of his suspicions using the code word, I was worried. Wondering what he had found. It was to my utter dismay when he informed me about Elera's possible involvement in what was happening. “She doesn't seem stable enough for any question that you might have right now. Something must have happened here. You know Elera; she's not one to be violent, even though she is mean.” Azra said to me as soon as the guards I came with whisked her away. “So you think that she is responsible but didn't intentionally do it as she is not in the right frame of mind?” I asked Azra, just to be sure that she was thinking correctly. “Yes, my king. We all knew that Dexter was a hollow wolf, and all I could find out about him after thorough investigations was the pack he was brought up in, which surprisingly turned out to be Omnidom. He had been a member of that pack but under the leadership of another Alpha. He has lived a lot of lifetimes, and so many people pay for his ser

Katherine's POV The air was filled with anticipation as I looked at the beautiful city, even though things weren't going so well, I was slowly getting back to the life I used to have, amidst the chaos. Roma had arrived. I was happy that she had finally left the life that took so much from her, the same one that had taken so much from me too. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of fear and discomfort, but she was finally here and I knew that her arrival would bring me some peace. She was waiting for me in the garden and I hurried to get to her so I could finally hug her. When I made the final turn to the garden, she was there. She stood tall, her dark hair rolling down her shoulders. As soon as she saw me, her face softened and a warm smile spread on her lips.“My Katherine,” she yelled out, her voice filled with the warmth of years of friendship. I ran as fast I could to her, ignoring everything else and wrapping my arms around her in a tight embrace. “It’s so good to see you,

Alpha Jackson's POV The glass in my hand felt cool against my palm, the liquid inside swirling as I contemplated my father’s words. The shadows danced along the walls, mimicking the turmoil within me.“You seem lost in thought, Jackson,” my father’s voice cut through the silence. He was here to take care of me, and so far, he has been doing just that. He took a slow sip of his drink, his eyes never leaving me. I hesitated, the weight of his earlier statement still pressing down on me. “What you said about the woman who would unite the Lycans and the Wolves... do you truly believe it’s them? Kai and Katherine?”His gaze sharpened, sensing the doubt that lingered in my tone. “I don’t just believe it, son. I know it.” He set his glass down on the table between us, leaning forward slightly. “The signs have been there for years. Kai’s influence has grown stronger, and Katherine... she’s more than just a Light Seeker. Together, they’re a force that could change everything. Force us down t

Claire's POV The night was unnervingly still. I could feel it. It was darkness creeping closer, something greater than any predator we’d ever faced. My instincts told me it was more than a hunt for Katherine. It was a hunt for power, for something that could rip the world apart if it found the right hands. Or the wrong ones.I was still staring out at the horizon, trying to pick apart the shadows for answers, when I heard the door creak open behind me. The footsteps were familiar, even before I turned around.“Kai,” I said, not bothering to look at him.“We have a problem,” he said, his voice tight.I finally turned to face him. Kai’s face was lined with tension, and his jaw set in that grim way that told me whatever news he brought was worse than usual. I raised an eyebrow, waiting.“The shadow hunters,” he continued, “they’re moving into the lower cities. Faster than they have ever done.”My heart skipped. I had been dreading this. The shadow hunters were ruthless, a merciless band
