Semua Bab Rejected And Desired (She Is Mine): Bab 11 - Bab 20

As we made our way into the woods, I couldn't stop looking at the unfamiliar face of the lady who just saved me from failing the test.Although I was in chains, I was still thankful to have been brought out earlier, even though I wasn't sure they wouldn't take me back there after all this was over.This young lady had come just early enough before the vampire side of me could surge out, and I could swear I had never seen her before, but she claimed to be my friend.I thought of her being a vampire colleague to Leo, but she doesn't appear like that at all and even had the wolf scent of our pack. I guess that was why nobody suspected her message.I was just playing along with her stunt."In this wood, we will capture him. Nobody knows more here than you hunters, so I am very confident in you all! If we can get this one, we will be able to capture every other one that could be lurking in this pack!" Kane's voice roared on the air, projecting towards the number of hunters who were so much

Panic set in as I thought of her being among the vampires killed by these hunters, but as I checked all the bodies, she was not among and there was no trace of her scent.I guess she left even before the fight, but why would she do that when I thought she would help the other vampires to neutralize the hunters?Then I saw how all the vampires were dead and realized she really made the right decision by leaving because I would also be mourning her now. That poisonous smoke would have also weakened her, and she would get killed.I took a deep breath and sped towards Diane but someone's voice dree me back."You can't leave this pack because the borders are shut with a charm and more hunters are on their way to get you." I heard a low, weak voice and traced the direction.It was Diane's mother lying on the ground. I thought I knocked her out."What do you mean?" I asked, staring coldly at her."Kane will never give up till he kills you and I don't really care about you but my daughter. Sh

Leo's POVI felt a hollow inside my heart as my eyes met with Diane, who was being dragged into the hall, blindfolded and in chains like a newly acquired slave.Her gown hung in tatters, smeared with blood stain, and her fragile frame stood trembling in the center of the room. Her head sagged low, tears dripping silently onto the marble floor.Seated on the lower throne beside my father, I felt the weight of her suffering like it was my own. A heavy pain pressed against my heart, as though I was somehow bound to her torment.I wished I could do something to save her. To pull her out of this mess and make her mine. I badly wanted to reach out to her at that moment and mark her as my queen, but I knew better.As much as my father badly wanted me to get a wife and fall in love again, they would rather kill her than watch her become the one I choose.The hatred for werewolves ran deep, rooted in generations of enmity. The blood feud had endured for centuries, each side taking every opport

"You’re really smart.” Kane praised me as soon as the guards left with Diane’s parents, and I felt my heart flutter with excitement.“I think outside the box. I uncover people’s true motives,” I said with a gloating smile. “Diane’s parents never imagined I’d discover their hidden plan.”The king nodded in approval.“You’d make a fine ruler… if given the chance,” he said, leaning back on his throne.“I won’t let you down,” I replied confidently. “You’ll be proud of me as your heir.”My grin vanished as his head snapped towards me, his expression strange."My heir?" He muttered, eyes narrowing at me. "Who told you that?"My heart dropped into my stomach and I tried to convince myself he was just joking, maybe playing an expensive prank on me.“N-No one told me,” I stammered. “I just figured it out… even my father advised me to train harder. As the Beta’s son, I thought—”Alpha Kane burst into laughter, throwing his head back. He picked up a goblet of wine and took a long gulp, still chu

Diane's POV“Diane, you filthy bitch! What are you still doing in bed?!” Mara’s voice thundered from outside the door, jolting me from my sleep.The moment I opened my eyes, I knew I was in trouble. I didn’t need to glance at the wall clock to know I had slept so long and woken up far too late. I was supposed to be up before the sun even rose.Sunlight was radiating bright into the room through the slightly opened window— daybreak long passed, far beyond the time I was to supposed to start my house chores."That foolish girl thinks this is her father's house, huh?!" I could hear Mara snarl and my heart dropped to my stomach.Mara’s voice had always sent chills down my spine. In the six days I had been here, life had been nothing short of hell.She was the devil incarnate, sent to torment me, and she was exceptional at it. As the chief maid, she treated me like a tool—something to be used without rest or pity.“What happened to the alarm because I didn't hear it blare?” I whispered, fe
