All Chapters of The Rejected Mate’s Dark Rise: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jane“Calm down, baby,” she murmured, her voice gentle but firm. “Breathe. Who killed your wolf? Did you get into a fight with another werewolf?”My mother’s voice was full of worry, but also confusion. She didn’t understand yet.“Mother!” I cried harder. “My mate killed her. He intentionally killed my wolf through betrayal. He was with another woman while we were still bonded, and the pain... the pain killed Amber.”“What?!” she exclaimed, and I could hear the rage building in her voice. “What have I done to deserve this? Oh, moon goddess, why is my beloved daughter mated with a monster? She doesn’t deserve this kind of barbarity!”I could hear my mother’s own tears now, her voice shaking with fury and heartbreak. She kept questioning the goddess for pairing me with him, and I could feel her sorrow through the phone. Yet she was still trying to be strong for me.My mother understood exactly what I’d been through. She knew about the years of taunting, bullying, and name-calling becaus

JaneI threw another punch at the training dummy, my fists hitting it repeatedly, but I didn’t care. I needed to get stronger. I had to.“Stop it, Jane! What do you think you’re doing?” she screamed, jumping up from her chair. “Do you want to kill yourself before you can avenge your wolf?”I looked down at my hands in surprise. Blood was dripping from my knuckles onto the floor, and I hadn’t even felt the pain.My body was running on pure anger and sadness. All I could think about was Amber and how she was gone forever.“You’re hurting yourself,” Ella said, rushing over with a towel. “This isn’t training—this is self-destruction.”They were right. But the physical pain felt good compared to the emotional pain inside me. At least when my hands hurt, I could understand why. The pain in my heart made no sense and wouldn’t go away.“I’m fine,” I muttered.“No, you’re not,” Amira said firmly, taking my bleeding hands in hers. “And Amber wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself like this. She die

Richard“What the hell did you do?” Parker yelled. “Why were you planning to murder my mate? How dare you, Richard? How could you stoop so low? How dare you sleep with another female who isn’t my mate?”Parker kept howling and roaring, constantly nagging and bothering me. I was the Alpha king, and I had the right to do as I pleased. Why did he have to question me? All because of that female whore.“Richard!” he roared. This time, with unmistakable authority.“Parker, how dare you question me?” I roared back. “I deserve some respect from you. You are not allowed to question my authority.”“I’m your Alpha, not you,” he announced. “You mess with my mate, you mess with me. I’ll never forgive you for this. If anything happens to her, I’ll make sure I drag you to hell,” he threatened.He had threatened me, and I felt uneasy. It was the first time he had been so angry. I knew I couldn’t afford to dwell on it any longer. I had too many unfinished tasks demanding my attention.Pushing the thou

Richard“What do you think you’re doing?” Raymond yelled. “Richard!”Was he blind? Did he not see that I was busy fucking a whore?“What are you doing here?” I asked. “Wait outside, Raymond. I need to take my bath.”I dismissed him and gestured toward the girl crying in the corner of the bed. “And you,” I pointed to her, “I don’t want to see you in here again when I come out.”I slammed the door behind me as I stepped into the bathroom. No matter what I did, I never seemed to be satisfied. There was always a sense of something missing within me. I leaned against the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror.The hollow eyes staring back at me only deepened my despair. Despite the fleeting pleasures, there was an emptiness that gnawed at my soul—a void that no amount of indulgence could fill.Was it because of her? Was it because they weren’t my mate? What did it feel like to mate with my fated one? I was curious. The cold shower gently poured over my body, and despite the chill, he

JaneA WEEK LATERI kept training every day. I worked hard and pushed myself to get stronger. Every punch, every kick, and every movement was for one reason - to get strong enough to kill Richard.The memory of his rejection still burned in my chest. The way he looked at me with disgust. The way he chose that other woman over me and tried to kill me. The pain was still fresh, even after having my wolf back.“You can do this, girl,” Amber said.She helped me train. I trained as a human, and she made me train as a wolf as well. With her help, I became a good fighter. I was ready to kill that man.“Your anger makes you strong, but don’t let it control you,” Amber warned me. “We need to be smart about this.”“I know,” I replied, hitting the training bag harder. “But I can’t forget what he did to us.”“Jane, when will you stop working so hard?” Amira shouted. “You have your wolf back. You can take your time planning revenge on him.”I looked up and saw both girls walking toward me.“You ne
