All Chapters of I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 76

Ashley's POV"You disgusting traitor!" I yelled at Ella, still fighting against the guards. "Let me go!"Jayden rose from his seat, his eyes filled with fury and disbelief. "Release her," he commanded the guards.They were about to follow his orders when two elders stood up. "No, Alpha Jayden," one of them objected. "You must be rational. She's a danger to us!""The Silverbloom flower she used, whether for healing or destruction, remains a clear threat to us all," the second elder stated."This can't be ignored—she must be questioned!" another elder proposed, and the others nodded in agreement.
