My Alpha Mate Rejected Me: He Says I'm A Misfit のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Talia’s POV Another knock comes at the window. “Who could that be at this time of the night? Did you forget something, Serena?” I say as I move closer and peep through the window where the sound comes from. Lo and behold, it’s my only sibling, Jackson. “What are you doing, Jackson?” I ask, confused about why he is outside my window calling me when he could easily walk into my room like everyone else in the house. Then it clicks. Jackson has been sneaking out at night, moving around the pack grounds like the Sentinels do during patrol. He always says he’s learning, that one day he wants to earn a position among them. Dad has never approved of it, especially because Sentinels are trained wolves with discipline and rank, not curious boys wandering in the dark. That’s why Jackson always sneaks out. “I need you to come with me. I want to show you something,” he says, gesturing for me to climb out through the window. “Are you crazy, Jackson? Do you want to get me killed after everythi

Talia’s POV The night is creeping in, and I am completely worn out. I have been walking all day, and now the second day is almost over, yet something keeps pulling me back to the same spot. My legs feel heavy, and every step takes more effort than the last. Hunger comes and goes in waves, and the only thing I find along the way is some tart fruit, which barely helps. I chew slowly, trying to make it last, but it does nothing to fill me. Just then, I consider turning back. At least at home, I would eat properly, and I would have a bed. Even if people talk or laugh, I would still have somewhere to rest without worrying about where to sleep next. I press my lips together and shake the thought off. No. I have already come this far, and there is no turning back. I haven’t seen a single soul since I started this journey. No town, not even a broken structure to hide in. Just trees, dry leaves, and a deafening silence. The woods feel strange now, so I slow down to scan my surroundings. Ever

Bella's POV Bless the Moon Goddess for choosing Talia; I didn't even have to lift a finger. For a long time, I dreamed of being Brian's Luna. But he was always waiting on the Goddess—damn it, "destined mate." He believes so much in that nonsense, but in the end, it's the last laugher who has the upper hand. Looks like returning to him was a good idea after all. Bran is so soft-hearted… or should I say dumb? He knew I left him for Lucian, the Blackwolf Pack Alpha, and that idiot dared to die on me after planting his seed in me. All it took for Bran to believe me was to fake some tears, which were not too far from my eyes. I blink twice, and they come rushing out, warm and convincing as they slide down my cheeks. "You know I don't ever want to see your tears, Bella. Wipe your tears, I have forgiven you." He says it softly, his hand hovering for a second before brushing my cheek. I lower my gaze and wipe my fake tears. "There's something I want to tell you, Bella," he continues, pulli

Talia's POV After cleaning up the mess the dough caused for almost an hour, I am already tired and need to rest. All hope of eating is lost now, and one thing is clear. "I need to proceed with the journey." I can't stay here despite the peace and love I enjoy. I have to find the description book and go to the Silverwolf Pack as planned. My concern now is how to tell George and Dave; they are already getting used to me, and I had promised to always be there for George. "Dave," I call slowly. We are quiet now, subdued by hunger, except for Dave, who had eaten with his grandmother earlier. "Don't you think your grandmother needs you now?" I say, watching his face. His face lights up, then quickly falls, the realization settling in. "She's probably looking everywhere for me now as we speak… but I don't want to leave you guys here like this." He glances at George. "George, can we go sort for some leftovers?" "We'll be fine. Go and attend to your grandmother, and please, Dave, don't you

Talia's POV Even without a wolf, I can smell wolves around—a race I don't want to live with anymore. I had earlier thought that the town ahead is a human territory. I have promised myself and George that we will settle in the first town we come across, due to the stress of travelling for a long time now. Days have passed and we still haven't gotten a place to settle. What I didn't know is that the first town we will come across will be another wolf territory. Now here I am again, in a wolf territory and I can't even tell if it's the Silverwolf Pack as Mom directed or not. Nothing looks like the description I had when I set out on this journey. We never came across any river to reach here. Seems like the Moon Goddess has decided to deal with me for leaving. Because how else will I explain going away from my own Pack just to find my purpose and ending up being a subject of bullying in another Pack. And now, I'm not alone. I'm here with an innocent boy who thinks of me as his savior
