Semua Bab EX'S REGRETS; Desired By Two Alphas After Rejection: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Rowan's POV. Everywhere was dark, hazy, and heavy with a suffocating sense of dread. I could see her, standing at the edge of the room, her back to me, the scent of lavender still clinging to the air. Ember. She was leaving again. I could feel it in my bones, in the marrow of my soul. My throat tightened, panic rising as if it were a living thing inside me."Ember, don’t go!" My voice sounded hoarse, desperate, almost foreign to my ears. I staggered toward her, my legs weak and my body heavy as if weighed down by the fever that had gripped me for days; the Feral Fever. Sweat dripped from my brow, soaking the shirt that clung to my burning skin. But all that mattered was her.She turned slowly, her face twisted with a hint of regret and something colder—pity. Her eyes, usually so full of fire, were dull, and her lips pressed into a thin line. I reached out, my hands trembling, trying to hold onto her before she slipped away.“Please, Ember,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Don’t l

Rowan's POVI could feel the tension in the room thickening with each passing second. My fists tightened, knuckles cracking under the pressure as I stared down at Elder Wellington.He was the loudest, the most disrespectful of them all, and now he was pushing me to my limit. His words burned into me, like a searing brand that I couldn’t shake.“Why? Just why are you trying so hard to be something you never wanted?” Wellington’s voice lashed out again, sharp and venomous, filling the quiet hall.His eyes were locked on me, filled with that same disgust I’d grown to expect from him.I glanced around the room, my eyes skimming over the other elders. They sat there in their finely pressed robes, their faces unreadable, their mouths shut.Not a single one dared speak up. No surprise there. They all knew what was happening, but none of them would stop Wellington.He’d always had a grip on them, like a puppet master pulling their strings. They feared him more than they respected me.But I wa

Rowan's POV. I could feel Crawls, my inner wolf, raging inside me. "Turn around," he demanded. "Leave her. This isn’t her fault. Stop being so damn reckless!" But I ignored him. I was too far gone, the anger pulsing through me like wildfire. I couldn’t hear reason, not even from my inner wolf. Ember’s face, dull and weak, only made it worse. Without thinking twice, I reached out and grabbed her wrist—hard. She winced, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care if it hurt. She had to feel something. Anything to show that I was angry. "Let go," Crawls snarled inside me. "Now!"I refused.Before Ember could even say a word, I yanked her out of the room. She stumbled, nearly fell, but I didn’t slow down. She’d either keep up or fall to the ground; it didn’t matter to me. I needed to clear my head, that's all that mattered. The pack house felt suffocating as we made our way to the exit, the elders’ voices ringing in my ears like a curse at that moment.“You are not fit to be Alpha. You are ju

Rowan’s POVI woke up far too early in the morning. The pale light of dawn crept through the curtains, casting shadows on the walls, but it was the storm in my head that jerked me from sleep.My heart was racing, pounding against my ribs as if I had just run a marathon, and the first thing that shot through my mind was that moment—the damn moment when I’d almost hit Ember with my car after what the pack elders had said to me.My jaw clenched at the memory. It wasn’t just that I almost crushed her with the vehicle. No. It was the rage that had clouded my thinking, the fire in my veins that blinded me.Ember had been standing there, so fragile, immovable, and all I could feel was the fury roaring inside me like a wildfire, threatening to burn everything in its path, including her.I struck my head with the heel of my palm, letting out a low mutter. "Why did I have to mess things up that much?" The words tasted bitter as they left my mouth.I raked my fingers through my hair, trying to s

Ember's POVI couldn’t believe this was happening. Alpha Rowan’s voice still echoed in my mind as the guards dragged me across the cold, stone floors.“What are you waiting for? I said, 'lock her up!'” His growl had sent shivers down my spine, and now I was being taken away from everything I had imagined could be possible today.My heart pounded in my chest, the only thought in my mind—Loak. I had to be with him. I had promised him.I fought back, yanking my arms from the guards’ tight grip, struggling against them with everything I had left. “Let me go! Please!” I cried, thrashing against their hold.For a moment, just a split second, I managed to break free. My breath caught as I stumbled forward, thinking I could run, thinking I could make it to my son.But before I could take another step, more guards appeared, blocking my path. Their hands grabbed me, harder this time, pulling me back into their clutches.“No! I need to be with him! Let me go!” I shouted, my voice breaking. The p
