Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Zara's world began to spin. King Draven had just called her by her name; how on earth did he know her name? Scratch that, what was it he had said last before her ears began to ring and her heart began to race faster in her chest?!She didn't think she had heard him right, her wolf was growling so loudly that she found it hard to process any further words that had emanated from Draven's mouth.And then, the tingling sensation hit her nose, the familiar scent she had always dreaded and wished she would never get the privilege of sensing it again, but here it was, pulling at her heartstrings.Zara’s breath hitched, her wolf stirring at the undeniable pull of the bond snapping into place. The air between them hummed with raw power, a connection stronger than anything she had ever felt before. But instead of the rejection she expected, Draven didn’t push her away. He took a step forward, their bodies almost pressing together.She had not expected that in the space of one night, she would

Zara closed the book abruptly when she couldn't take it anymore. She struggled to keep her emotions in check but her frail heart betrayed her. She kept the book back in place, knowing it was fate that had made her come across the book.She stormed back into the chamber beneath the Moonstone Pack’s temple, her mind reeling. The icy morning air did little to cool the fire burning inside her. She couldn't get rid of the feeling that Draven had known something—something aside from her curse and that was why he had refused to mark her, and it wasn't because neither of them would die if he marked or rejected her. Had he been trying to protect her or himself? There was an uproar coming from outside of the chamber that those in the temple couldn't ignore."Where is that noise coming from?!" Zara said to herself. Every thought concerning the prophecy evacuated into thin air, her attention drawn to what was going on outside of the temple.She rushed out to investigate the source of the noi

“This is outrageous,” the Elder spat, watching the discourse unfold with disgust on her face. “Are you really going to sit there and call yourself loyal to this pack when you cannot do something as simple as this?” she could not understand why Zara hesitated, trading her life for that of the Lycan King was supposed to be a simple decision and an honorable one at that. Zara’s eyes darted from the fuming elder to the frail form of Draven on the bed. His eyes were partly open, and she could see his pupils staring into her soul, begging her not to do it. “I’m sorry,” Zara stuttered and got to her feet backing away from Draven. Her head was starting to swirl, his words had done something to her that she did not even believe was possible. She had been hurt over and over again by words – words of rejection. Words in general stopped to have any meaning to her. But not Draven’s words. When the Lycan King had spoken to her with such vulnerability and sincerity, it had stirred somethi

Denice recoiled as if a snake had struck her as she saw Zara and alpha Draven lip-locked.Her mouth hung open, what?Zara jerked back suddenly, taken aback by Denice’s scream.Alpha Draven sighed and fell back on his bed and closed his eyes, the chemistry was broken by the unwanted intrusion.He sighed deeply, even if he died, he knew he would die happy.“Denice?”“I’m sorry Zara…” she shook her head – there was no time to process what she just saw now, there was something more pressing. “This cannot wait!” Denice said.Zara looked at alpha Draven as he laid on his bed, her eyes were hyper focused on his lips as her head buzzed and her lips tingled – did that just happen?“Zara!” Denice yelled.She shook her head and snapped out of her daydreaming.“I am sorry, alpha,” Denice pleaded from far, she did not dare take a step further, even on his sick bed, he was frightful to her.Zara stood up, her legs felt wobbly and she staggered towards Denice, “Wha- What is going on?”Denice grabbed

Elder Aliya was aware of Zara’s suspicious gaze but she was also aware that Zara had no basis to accuse her.She was an Elder, highly revered and respected in the pack, Zara on the other hand was a nobody beta warrior who was risen to the status of pack leader because of an unfortunate turn of events.Even though Zara undoubtedly had all the military power, Elder Aliya was still confident in her spiritual power as an elder.What mattered was that the assassin was dead and with him dead, no finger could point back to her.Zara had a similar train of thought going on in her mind as she watched the elder.Why would she do something as suspicious as killing the assassin? That meant that she must have had something to do with the assassination attempt.Zara did not have any proof and knowing how unstable things were in the pack right now, she was not in a haste to point fingers.Denice had said that she heard some of the warriors plotting against her, she did not say anything about Elder A
