Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Rejection: My Mate Has A Son: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Alaric's POVMy attention was on Elnora the entire night. I couldn’t enjoy the banquet after Samantha had informed me of her suspicions about her. I was disappointed when someone walked in front of me and, suddenly, Elnora was no longer in sight. I immediately set out to search for her among the crowd but failed to find her.A few minutes later, I received a mind-link from Samantha, stopping me instantly in my quest to find Elnora. I was thrown into complete panic afterwards.Samantha had just told me that Jada was a mole sent by the Matriarchs to Nightveil. She had asked me to work with her grandparents to secure the academy and not to trust Elnora.I’d only asked one of the Silverbane guards to pass the information to them while I raced to find Samantha. Even though I knew she was strong as a silver wolf, I was still terrified. She was my mate, and the fear I felt for her life was an instinct I couldn’t suppress.I went alone, tracking her through her scent, until the sound of foots

Alaric's POVThe fight was instant.We tried to keep up the defense, but we were failing. Caius was flung over the stairs, and Iris was restrained against the wall by the hybrid mistresses. The Nightveil guards fought with everything they had but fell dead at every corner I turned.The odds were against us.Elnora had slipped out during the fight, and my fear was that she was heading for Samantha. I stood in the midst of the chaos, trying to figure a way out.One of the mistresses had already lunged over the stairs to where Caius was struggling to stand. Her legs pressed down on his neck, choking him and pinning him there as she grinned.I was torn, not knowing who to help or if I should leave them both for Samantha, but deep down, I already knew what my answer was."Leave us, save Samantha!" Iris managed to choke out. Blood stained her teeth and mouth as she struggled to get the words out.My fists clenched at my own helplessness. Without further hesitation, I sprinted away, knowing

Samantha's POV After I was settled, I headed for the dungeon where Grandma was overseeing the interrogation of the traitors. Agonizing screams echoed through the entire place as I walked along the upper floor, gazing down at the lined cells. The prisoners thrashed inside, their flesh burning from the mix of Acheron root and wolfsbane. The sight was gruesome yet deserved. "I told you, but you wouldn't listen. Now we are all doomed," a voice argued in the distance. It was Zoe, the witch hunter, talking to Grandma Iris. They noticed me the moment I stepped in. Grandma's eyes locked with mine, and Zoe turned to leave, only stopping briefly in front of me. "Please tell me we aren't too late. That this situation isn't worse than what we faced today," Zoe pleaded. I remained silent, and she got the message, nodding sadly before walking away. "What did she mean by that?" I asked, approaching Grandma in haste. "That you didn't listen..." Grandma took a deep breath, her face tight with re

Samantha's POVThe silence that followed stretched unbearably long. I waited for him to react, to say something. Was he happy? Disappointed we had kept this from him? Or simply trying to process the magnitude of what we’d just revealed?He wiped his face with one hand, as if trying to release the tension. He finally looked at us, still visibly stunned. His mouth parted slightly, but no words came out at first. Beside me, Alaric held my hand, his quiet excitement mirroring my own.“I love you, Samantha, but please don’t play with me right now,” Dad said, sounding desperate for it to be true. My heart leaped with joy. He wanted this so badly. I wasn’t one for cruel jokes, and Alaric—who had such a rough beginning with him certainly wasn’t either.His breathing grew heavier as he looked between us. I already knew Adrian was going to be absolutely adored by this man.“It’s the truth. It happened six years ago, when we first experienced the mate bond,” Alaric said.He let out a shaky sigh

Samantha's POVJulian was set to return home the same day Alaric and I were returning to Ravenfur Pack. As an alpha himself, he had his own escorts back home, which was the only thing that gave me a little shred of peace. Although throughout our journey to Ravenfur, I never stopped communicating with him to make sure he arrived safely. I didn’t trust the matriarchs—much less that chilling call from Dean Carol.We finally arrived at Ravenfur Pack by noon, and the first thing we did was go see Adrian. Luna Tamia, Adams, and Kayson were there too.After everything that had happened, seeing my son again and having him wrapped in my arms was the only thing that mattered.I had left Ravenfur in fear for his life, but now I could finally assure his safety. It was such a huge relief knowing he had better days ahead of him, far from the fate I had been forced to bear growing up. “Mommy!” Adrian shouted the moment he spotted us.We had already informed Adams of our arrival, and he had been wai
