All Chapters of Rejected, But Claimed By The Hybrid Alpha : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

[Lola's POV]“Ladies and Gentlemen, I officially welcome you to the 2024 ALPHA Ball Party!”The Chief-in-Council’s voice echoed across the grand hall, halting my steps toward the restroom.We’ve been here for hours. Or maybe it just feels like that. I’ve been waiting—without Theodore by my side. He said he was going to the restroom, but it’s been far too long. The dancers had already come and gone. The Alpha Princesses had taken the stage in their glittering gowns. Even the crowd had shifted into whispers of boredom and scattered conversations.But still—no Theodore.Just as I turned to go look for him again, the Alpha Chief launched into his welcome speech.“The Alpha Night Ball has never failed to bring the joy of unity among all the Alphas and Lunas in District Xi. And this year’s edition… promises to be the grandest of them all!”Eyes from every corner fixed on the Chief Alpha, the man who always gave the first speech and handed out the awards.I scanned the crowd again. No sign o

[Lola’s POV]Without wasting another second, I stepped away from the balcony and dashed down the stairs, rage and panic burning in my chest.“Mother! Mother!” I screamed, my voice breaking, more terrified than I had ever been.The crowd had already started clearing the path. The ambulance had arrived, sirens piercing through the chaos. But I couldn’t let them take her. Not yet.My mother wasn’t dead.She couldn’t be!That was the lie I kept telling myself as I fell to my knees beside her, hands trembling as I touched her blood-soaked body.“Let the medical team do their job, Lola. Please…” Theodore said softly, crouching beside me, his eyes filled with pity.I ignored him, clutching my mother’s hand tightly as I looked at her face.Shards of glass from the chandelier were still embedded in her skin. Her entire body looked limp, her chest barely moving, her eyes shut tight like they had no intention of opening again. I refused to accept it. She couldn’t die like this. Not because of my

~ SaiI didn’t waste a second after that chaotic scene—I slipped out, heading straight to the reception. That was where I originally came to book an appointment with the doctor… to check the health of my womb.But honestly? Nothing felt better than clapping back at Lola using the very trap she had set for me.The same pit she dug with her own hands? She ended up falling into it.That’s what happens when you try to mess with someone who’s two steps ahead.You see, I had to use my head—and not just a little.I knew Lola was planning something—something ugly.She had been brewing something ever since she eavesdropped on my conversation with Theodore.She thought I didn’t notice her, but I did.I saw her when I stepped out of the restroom. She was hidden behind the wall, thinking she was slick… thinking I was too dumb to catch her.But the expression on her face gave everything away—The fury.The jealousy.The burning hatred.I could already tell she was scheming something dangerous.Whe

[Theodore’s POV]I couldn’t hold it in. The rage clawed at my chest the moment I heard the truth—Lola had cut the chandelier rope, and she did it to kill Sai.My fists clenched on their own. The anger felt raw, open, exposed. I couldn’t contain it, and if I did, I’d explode. So I let it out—on her.Zayden's voice echoed in my mind, low and sharp through our bond.I told you, didn’t I? I told you Lola cut the rope. Her wolf couldn’t hide it. I connected with her wolf!I didn’t reply. My jaw clenched tighter. I kept my mouth shut, too aware that if I spoke, I might lash out at him too. I couldn’t risk that—not now.By the time I got to the car, Zayden was already waiting. One look at me and he instantly mirrored my fury.“Are we attacking Lola?” he snapped. “She and her wolf went the extra mile!”I started the engine, eyes flicking coldly toward him. “Can you just keep quiet for once?” I barked. “I need to think, okay?!”My voice cracked like a whip. My glowing eyes dimmed as Zayden shr

[Theodore’s POV]Lola’s eyes were still fixed on me, burning with a kind of fury that demanded an answer. Her nose flared, her hands clenched tight, and her gaze held me like claws digging into my skin, as if she was ready to tear apart whatever word I dared to say next.“Come on, Theodore!” she snapped, her voice sharp and vibrating with anger. “Why are you quiet? Why aren’t you answering me? Are you scared I’ll find out the truth? You’re supposed to be a man, aren’t you? You’re the Alpha, aren’t you? Then prove it! Tell me what’s really going on inside you. Tell me what you feel!”Her words were fire, yet I refused to give her the satisfaction of a response. Silence was my shield, but the longer I held it, the more dangerous she became.With a sudden snarl, Lola grabbed my shirt and yanked me toward her. Her eyes had turned red, the playful spark gone, replaced by something darker, something twisted. Her lips curved into a cold sneer.“Look into my eyes, Theodore,” she hissed, her v
