All Chapters of Rejected And Desired (She Is Mine): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I felt sad, the joy I had been feeling earlier with this night's run suddenly disappeared, as if it was all about this man.As if the river doesn't look fascinating anymore, and my whole point of coming here felt useless.With slow steps, I drew closer to the river, to the same spot where he sat and enjoyed the view, and all I could think of was his image in my head. At that long moment, our eyes locked, and everything seemed to disappear around me with just him existing.It felt like he was created to seduce me to my knees, explaining why he gazed at me that way—such a way no man had looked at me before.Is this love at first sight?Before now, I could swear such a thing didn't exist. I had lived all my life wondering how I would give my heart to a man, unsure how possible that would be because I had a lot going through my head.The responsibility of destroying the vampires who took away my mother and would have killed me if she hadn’t hidden me properly. All I did was train intensel

I saw as Zena threw a glance at me as though she was trying to see if I had just heard what Diane uttered, but I moved my eyes away from her.“Do I need to answer that? It would be a great pleasure to take on the duel with her.” She chuckled and nodded her head to me. “But that is if he agrees.”Everyone’s gaze turned to me.“I have no business with whatever you both have going on! My baby in her womb is gone, so count me out from all this!” I scoffed, annoyed at the expressions on their faces.“She didn’t just say a duel but a death duel where the winner is the one alive while the other has their head chopped off!” Zena's mother said with a frown, and I could sense fear in her voice.“That is the fun of it!” Zena winked. “I guess she is tired of life already after having no baby in her womb.”But Zena's mother didn't look convinced as she scanned Diane from head to toe, squinting into her eyes as if she was searching for something that was hard to find.“She doesn’t look like she is

Reina's POV“Here is the woman…” He pointed in the dark room; pride and satisfaction laced his voice.“Isn’t she dead already?” I narrowed my eyes at the motionless body of the woman lying in shackles.Her whole body was bruised, cut deeply and burnt. She was clothed with wounds and had nothing to cover her naked body.“No, she is not dead, but I can assure you, death is the only prayer she offers to her god, as it would save her from the intense torture that never ends. It has been years now.”I stepped closer and squatted in front of her. As if my presence gave a bit of strength, I saw her eyelids flutter and her numb fingers budge.“You deserve this and even more for what you did to my innocent mother. All the evil you and your people have committed must be accounted for!” I seethed at her and watched as her eyes opened slowly, those eyes all dead.I couldn’t tell if she could see me clearly because her eyes were red and drooling.“Your son and husband will join you soon. That is t

The moonlight glowed brighter on his skin, his eyes glistening like ripples on a river as they pierced into mine.He wore a sparkling white shirt tucked into blue trousers, the sleeves rolled up to reveal beautifully inked tattoos along his arms. The shirt was unbuttoned halfway, exposing a broad, sculpted chest.Though the shirt was neatly tucked in like a professor’s, his tousled brown hair gave him a rugged charm.“That was an interesting battle to watch,” he said, his deep voice resonating as if it were speaking directly to my soul. A subtle smile played on his lips.I stood frozen, mouth slightly open, eyes locked on him. I couldn’t tell if this was real or some vivid hallucination.He stepped closer, hands casually tucked in his pockets stood close, his tall figure towering over my small frame.My breath caught.I raised my gaze to meet his, and his smile made my stomach flutter like it was filled with butterflies.“I enjoyed the show,” he said, winking before shifting his eyes

Diane's POV “Speed and agility are her strengths. She can vanish in a flicker of shadow and attack from behind, hitting parts of your body that are weak and vulnerable. That’s her tactic.” Leo began teaching me as usual in the private room.Here, no one else can enter, and it was built for his meditation session. According to what he told me, this was a place he hid and wallowed in grief and sorrow over the loss of his mother for years.He would sometimes go feral, breaking everything in his path, roaring and inflicting injuries on himself.In that state, no one around him was safe. That was why a place like this was made and set aside for him.Last night, I came here for training, but he wasn’t around. I heard a rumor that his primal beast had surfaced again, and he had vanished into the forest late in search of someone no one was aware of.Today he is normal again and has begun to train and give me lectures on how I would defeat Zena.He hadn’t mentioned anything about last night,
