Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Rejected Mate: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

 I felt her eyes on me. They always have been. And I knew that her intentions weren’t pure. Sitting in the court, listening to the plans of taking down the werewolves, starting with the Blood Bound pack. The pack ruled by Lucas. Pack where Ariana was born into. There was a sacrifice. A sacrifice that made the vampires invincible. Invincible from their arch enemies the werewolves and get unlimited access to their elixir–human blood. I sat on the chair assigned to me, at the coven, where Esteben sat. The king of vampires. He looked ugly. The pale face that was almost white, from drinking so much blood and remaining hidden in the dark. He was a great king but a poor ruler. He knew the art of influencing people well, but rarely took a step, dipping his hands in dirt. He stood at the end, placing his people in front of him as a s

I sat at the dining table, my appetite long lost. Aurora was playing on the floor, with the other pups. Some kids had found a special liking towards her and decided to make her their friend. I smiled, looking at them, sharing toys and food, enjoying this phase without a care in the world.My stomach stirred, uneasily and I rubbed my belly. My son kicked me hard, as if he was complaining about forgetting about him. “Don’t worry baby, Mamma didn’t forget you.” I whispered to my stomach.In spite of the cheery mood set up in the pack house, there is a nagging feeling of dread. Something is wrong. Something isn’t right.I sighed, the smell of pancakes making me forget everything momentarily. I gulped down the food as Saya prepared it for me, smiling as she saw me eat well. I had difficulty eating food, and if I ate, I had difficulty stomaching it down. But today seems to be different. I could eat as well as keep it down. Maybe my son was similar to his mom, who loved pancakes more than cer

I had called for an All-Alpha meeting. Enough was enough now. Taking the help of the Elders, technically threatening them to interfere and help us out of this, we were all seated in the conference room adjacent to my office.The Alphas had also been given accommodation, if the circumstances demanded. Ariana was beside me, wearing a loose gown to hide her pregnancy and avoid any unnecessary questions.“Gentleman, we know that the threat from the Vampires has reduced for the past few months. Like they expected us, we have let our guards down and gone back to normalcy.” My voice boomed in the room. “We need to gear up now before it’s too late. There is going to be a war. A deadly one at that. We need to be prepared for that.” The other alphas looked at each other, murmuring in confusion.“Why now? And what is this war for? And since the threats have been neutralised, why are we unnecessarily doing this?” Alpha Raiden, from the Moon Beam pack asked. This is why I needed the Elders. The w

The room was thick with tension, the air heavy with anticipation as I sat in Lucas’s office, surrounded by maps, charts, and paperwork. A large map of the territories lay spread across the desk, marked in red and black ink, showing border patrol routes, supply chains, and possible evacuation points. It was all real now. This wasn’t just about finding Xavier anymore. It was war. And we had to be ready.Lucas sat across from me, flipping through a checklist of food supplies and medical inventory. Saya paced near the window, her brows furrowed in deep concentration as she noted down training schedules. The atmosphere buzzed with urgency, the kind that doesn’t need to be spoken aloud. We had elders and children to protect, mothers with newborns to shelter, and a whole generation of young wolves who’d never seen a battlefield before.“We need to start training the women for self-defense. We can’t afford to rely on just the warriors,” Saya said, finally breaking the silence.“I agree,” Lucas

It had been over eight hours, and Ariana still hadn’t stirred.The soft beeping of the machines, the constant hum of the oxygen line, and the occasional footsteps of the nurses made the silence even more unbearable. Her skin was pale, her lips dry, and her body far too still for my liking. Yesterday’s blow had been too much—even for someone like her. She was strong, fierce, and unyielding. But this… Xavier having a mate… it had shattered something deep within her.The moment I had said those words, she had gone utterly silent, her eyes wide with disbelief. Then, without warning, her body went limp and she collapsed in my arms like a doll with its strings cut.She hadn’t woken since.Now, lying there in the hospital bed, the faint rise and fall of her chest were the only signs that she was still with us. But even that didn’t bring me much comfort. Because she was lying on her back—something the doctors had strictly warned against this late into the pregnancy. It restricted blood flow, a
