Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession : Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

ELIANAI felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, suffocating under the weight of my own worthlessness. Every breath I took felt like a lie, every heartbeat a reminder that I didn't deserve to exist.I was a burden, a stain on the world, a constant reminder of failure and weakness. I felt like I was taking up space that someone else, someone better, could occupy. Every moment I lived felt like a theft, a robbery of time and resources that could be better spent on someone else.The world would be better off without me, I thought. It would be brighter, lighter, freer. I was a shadow, a dark stain on the fabric of existence. And I couldn't shake the feeling that I was slowly unraveling, thread by thread, until there would be nothing left of me at all.I felt like I was being suffocated by the weight of their words, crushed by the constant barrage of criticism and disdain. Vivian Victoria's words, in particular, cut deep, echoing in my mind like a mantra of failure.You're not good e

AXEL “This isn't the Axel I used to know," I growled to myself, wiping the sweat from my body with a towel, my eyes narrowing in frustration.I had to get this right, no room for error. I'd track down Eliana and stick to the plan, no matter what. I was all in, and I wouldn't back down now.I've taken on tougher missions and accomplished the impossible. I'll do this alone, no entourage, no backup. I, Axel Draconis, will find her.This was the very thing I'd spent my entire life fighting against: vulnerability. I'd be damned if I let anyone or anything drag me back to those dark, twisted memories. I'd never again relive the hell I'd endured. Never again would I be weak.I slipped on my black leather jacket, the dark material blending with my black pants.Hairos was back in town, and just the thought of him made my blood boil. What was he after this time? I'd run through a dozen different scenarios in my head, but I still couldn't pinpoint what that son of a bitch was really here for.H

ELIANANo one else was supposed to know my secret. Not even Axel, who had somehow uncovered it on his own. I sat frozen, my eyes locked on the man I once knew, now transformed before me. His gaze burned with a fierce rage, like a beast unleashed. At that moment, I knew I was in grave danger.He paced from one side of the room to the other, his agitation palpable. “You're pregnant with that asshole's child?” His face darkened into a scowl as if the father's identity was somehow a personal affront to him.“Asshole?” I repeated, my eyes narrowing in confusion as I scanned his face. How did he know Gabriel? Our pack was small, and it seemed likely that he'd had a prior connection with Gabriel before he left.But I had never seen them together while he was in Shadow's pack.“Yes, he's a certified asshole,” he replied as if that was all the explanation I needed. But his words only deepened my confusion, leaving me with more questions than answers."After planting his seed in the many young

ELIANA The door burst open with a loud kick, the sound of it crashing against the floor making me flinch. The sudden noise echoed through my ears, startling me. My gaze shifted to the doorway, and that's when I saw him, standing tall and imposing. The moment our eyes met, my resolve to flee vanished, and my plans were suddenly rewritten. His hair was perfectly in place, not a single strand out of order. His breathing was calm and steady, not to indicate that he had just effortlessly knocked down a massive 7-foot metal door. Isaiah's gaze shifted, his eyes locking onto Axel with a mixture of amusement and curiosity. "Well, look who we have here," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he gestured towards Axel, whose face was set in a stern, unyielding expression, his eyes flashing with hostility at the mere sight of Isaiah. Isaiah strode confidently towards Axel, his tall frame imposing, but Axel still towered over him, his height advantage unmistakable as they stood face

ELIANAI darted glances between the two men, silently willing the suffocating tension to dissipate already.Isaiah had always struck me as a formidable beta, but I'd never imagined he possessed the courage to challenge the AXEL DRACONIS.I leaned in, my ears straining to catch Isaiah's words, as my heart skipped a frantic beat. I was acutely aware of the man's grip on my arms; his hold was firm; if I were human, I would have passed out from the firm grip; it was a reminder that I wasn't going anywhere.His voice had dripped with conviction when he issued the threat, but now it seemed his confidence was wavering, a faint crack in his bravado.Perhaps the secret Isaiah claimed to possess was nothing more than a hollow threat, a desperate ploy to unsettle Axel. But I knew better - Axel wasn't a man who could be intimidated easily; in fact, he was the last person on earth who would ever cower in fear.Isaiah's gaze locked onto Axel's, and for a moment, I thought a torrent of words would
