บททั้งหมดของ I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate : บทที่ 221 - บทที่ 230

Ella's POV The hunger to unmask this stranger burned through me like a wild fire, and without thinking twice, I lunged forward. I felt the thick air of the corridor as my fingers brushed the coarse edge of the hood.But just at that moment–a motion, swift as lightning. The stranger had spun around with lethal precision, and before my wolf could even grasp the situation, a solid strike had landed square across my face. What speed!The stranger's hood still hung in my hand as white exploded in my vision. Then came the pain. It shot straight into my eyes just as a harsh gasp tore from my throat. My fingers instantly abandoned the hood and snapped upward to my face, more like it was to shield myself from the pain that crawled inside my skull. "Argh–!" My knees buckled, and the world tilted, becoming a sick blur of stone walls and flickering lamps. By the time I forced my eyes open even a fraction, I caught only the faintest shimmer of movement ahead–the hood slipping into the dark and

Ella's POVThe healer stepped in first, her presence breaking what seemed to be like a charge inside the room. I followed slowly, my hand brushing the edge of the doorway as I crossed the threshold. The High Elder startled the very moment his eyes met mine. But he masked it quickly–too quickly. I caught the flicker though, and my gaze sharpened and lingered on him far longer than I should have. Something had been said here. Something revealed. I felt my wolf stir uneasily. Could it be... the hooded healer? I stepped further in, my footsteps echoing softly. First, my eyes pinned the Elder, noting how he could not hold my stare. His gaze dropped just as briefly before it slid fully away. Then, I let my attention drift to Jayden. He didn't look up to my face. His head only remained bowed, more like the weight of all the spoken words from the elder before I stepped in hung on him like chains. I still wondered what they had spoken of as I crossed the room, letting my shadow fall acros

Ella's POV "Who is the hooded healer?" I asked Jayden one more, my lips curving afterwards into a slow, deliberate smile as I tilted my head. Then I let my hair cascade over my shoulder, and ran my tongue along my bottom lip. His eyes were fixed on mine through these moments, and I noticed the way he hitched ever so slightly. "Jayden," I purred in a voice low and dripping with honeyed seduction. "We mustn't play this game now, must we? You know I have my ways." His chest rose and fell with unsteady breaths as he stared at me, his body tensing beneath me. I could feel the heat already radiating from him. " What do you want with such information, my love?" he asked. "Like I said, she's just a healer who chose to put on a hood.""Who, Jayden, was she?" I pressed again, my voice tightening now, almost like a growl. Then I had a quick thought, and I asked him, "was it the same werewolf you chased earlier today?"His jaw tightened, but he shook his head. Then his voice came up, rough an

Ella's POVI could still imagine Jayden's infirmary room still heavy with the scent of long sex, it's air thick and warm like a summer storm. "Take care of yourself honey, and don't drain all the energy on the Alpha," my father had said before hanging up. We had spoken for long hours about our plans, rehearsing every single part of it in a light hearted manner until it got really stuck on my brain. Control. That was the word that danced most in my head, the one that always fueled all my moves. I had fucked Jayden again and again, and left him a spent, panting mess in his room. Yes, that was the control I yearned for. The moonlight spilled through the window, casting soft shadows across the room as I placed my phone back on the stand beside my bed. Even till then, father's voice still echoed in my ears, even the way he had chuckled when I told him about Jayden. As I relaxed on my bed again, my fingers once more reached between my legs as I touched myself. I imagined father's firm ha

Ella's POV "To what do I owe the pleasure?" The High elder asked,but despite the calm he tried to portray in his voice,I could still feel the heat growing all over him."I've come to fuck you," I said simply, chuckling at my own bluntness.At that very moment,the High Elder's eyes widened as he took a step back,his voice trembling despite his second attempt to sound firm."What the hell are you doing here, Ella? My wife and children are asleep upstairs!" His gaze flickered towards the staircase,his fear seemingly palpable even in the dim light of his chamber. Then his hand travelled to his mouth,covering it.He knew he couldn't resist this. He was done for.I shut the door behind me with just a soft click,my eyes never leaving his as I did so."Oh,Vagmos," I purred,my voice dripping with the very act of seduction. "I hate pretences. I really do." He took just the tiniest of steps backwards,his eyebrows furrowing. "What do you mean?" "You've always wanted to come around me, haven't
