Lahat ng Kabanata ng I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate : Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Ella's POVI let the smile on my lips widen slowly before leaning even closer to Jayden, so close that my lips brushed his ear. "And..." I purred, "once I'm Supreme Luna, of course you'll became the Supreme Alpha after I decide. No mutiny would even dare take root. And Liam? He'll be nothing short of a memory." I tried to be as touchy as I could ever be, letting one hand brush my gown up my hips. My legs were quite visible now, and I let my fingers trail over his chest again, slower this time. Back then when Ashley was in the human world and my spell was stronger all over the pack, Jayden would do just anything I commanded if I did just half of what I was doing now. I felt the tension of his muscles, noting how his breath hitched. But he dared not pull away. Instead, his gaze only locked onto mine as if he was measuring the depth of my conviction. No, this wasn't the Jayden I had casted a spell on. Despite the hunger he displayed in his eyes, I knew that something was fundamentally

Ashley's POVI sat still on a seat carved from stone, it's coldness pressing firmly against my back more like it wanted to still away the little warmth that kept me alive. The secret room was dimly lit, the only light being the faint flicker of bulb that hung on the moss lined wall. It wasn't steady, and every flicker came with shadows of darkness that provided a sort of mystery to the room. A room that no regular member of the packhouse was aware of.Beside me sat Niko, his small fingers brushing against mine more like he was trying to reassure me, or perhaps himself. Across the room stood Rhea and Jace, and they whispered in hushed tones. But gradually, their whispers turned into a childish banter. "Stop saying that you're older than me!" Rhea huffed, taking a step closer to her brother. "Well I am! I'm taller than you, and I climb faster too!" Jace replied, simultaneously measuring her height and mocking her. This obviously angered Rhea, as she huffed, shoving her tiny palm int

Ashley's POVThe laughter evaporated, leaving the air heavy and taut. I turned to Jace, watching as his small shoulders haunched, more like he had already regretted speaking. His lips pressed into a thin line and his eyes lowered. Guilt had clouded his young face, and my heart clenched at the sight. "Jace," Jayden called after clearing his throat and feigning a smile on his face. He reached out his hand and playfully rubbed Jace's full head of hair. "Don't worry about that son," he said softly. "As a matter of fact, your momma and I have a little... chat." I shot a glance at him just as his own eyes slid to me, sharp and deliberate. "Ashley," he called in a steady voice. "Come with me." My lips parted slightly, but he also added. "You too David." My thoughts instantly collided. What was the purpose of the privacy he asked for? I turned back to the children, forcing a smile onto my lips. "We'll be back soon, alright?" This didn't seem to satisfy them, as Rhea tugged at my gown a

Jayden's POVIt took a steady dragging of my feet to step away from Ashley, for I never wanted to leave. It was more like an unseen chain tethered me to her presence, my body screaming to remain where she stood, to hold her and forget all the battles and raging. No, I knew better. I couldn't afford such weakness. Liam wouldn't spare a moment in taking full advantage of it. And Ella? It'll just be a dream come through for her. I had to fight, and I had to win. Getting to the narrow passageway, I paused, brushing my hands against the cold stone. Then I turned around one more time to see my heartthrob. And there she was, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Seeing this wrenched my heart raw, forcing my lips to part. She knew that letting Ella believe that I was still under her spells meant that I'll have to make love to her. This hurt her, and I knew. But the very moment our eyes locked, she blinked hard and wiped her tears with trembling hands. Then she turned sharply on her heel,

Ella's POVMy knuckles whitened around the steering wheel as I threw one more glance at the rearview mirror. Jayden's cracked windscreen glass glared back at me, splintered by a bullet. Yet he forged on, fully determined to unmask his 'stranger'. "Idiot," I hissed under my breath as I stepped on the accelerator one more time. He surely had no idea I was the one he was chasing. And the fool was driving like a possessed wolf, every bump and swerve hammering hard against my nerves. Another gunshot cracked the air, this one sharper and cleaner. It seemingly aimed with more precision, for I gasped as Jayden's car jolted and veered dangerously to a tree I had dodged only narrowly. My chest tightened. For a second, I thought he'd been crushed against the tree trunk.But no–he fought it, pulled the strong car back and roared again, closer and faster. "Damn it," I muttered, biting down hard on my lip, my heart slamming against ribs as he closed the gap between us too fast. My thoughts race
