Marrying the Alpha I Rejected のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

XXI: Fallen MaskKnox's POVI paced back and forth outside Paradise, waiting for the bastard of a king to leave. I contemplated whether I should end his reign right here and now, just so he wouldn't have the chance to be alone with Nikita like this ever again. My mind went into the gutter, thinking of possible things they could be doing right now. Nikita is a small girl, and she can easily be overpowered by someone as big as Seymour, but something tells me he was not that kind of person anyway. Still, my mind couldn't help but imagine the worst case scenario. My brother promised he didn't touch a hair on her body and I believed him, but this vampire king, will he be able to hold back his desire?"Fūck!" I kicked the trash can in frustration and looked at the entrance again. "It's been an hour. What's taking them so long?" I groaned in frustration and lit another stick. "Why are you so anxious, brother? Even if you don't trust Seymour, do you think someone like Nikita–who refuses to

XXIII: You Won't Break MeAlyssa's POV Knox's pranks went overboard this time. His pranks and torture–although dangerous– became even worse. He was silent for a week and he treated me like I didn't exist contrary to what he promised, but still, I didn't let my guard down. Wednesday came, but instead of going straight from work to Paradise, a bodyguard was waiting for me. A ady bodyguard that Knox promised he would assign to me and damn it, I can't really go anywhere without her. She was worse than freaking Alice!In the office, at home, even in the restroom! I can't go anywhere without her following me like a shadow and when I decided to put some restrictions, the robot 2.0 only told me she will only obey her master like a good little dog she was. I can't even sneak out because she can smell me from afar!I was no longer required to cook for him because he blatantly said that he disliked my cooking skills, but I continue to do my own chores. From cooking my own food, doing my laund

XXV: TensionKnox's POV"What were you thinking, Knox?! Why would you put Alyssa's life in danger like that?!" Dad angrily asked, slamming the door of my office behind him. "I intended to scare her a little, Dad. I wouldn't let those rogues hurt her." I replied blankly and plopped on the couch while massaging my temple. I mean it. If I wanted to hurt her for what she did, I didn't have to bring her all the way to the rogue's lair. I just wanted to scare her a little. Damn it, that's nothing compared to what she did and I'm only starting! That despicable woman will feel my wrath! A battle? Hah! As if I will let her escape from me! "What if you didn't stop the rogues in time? Knox, I'm really disappointed with what you did. I heard what happened from Lance and she was wrong, but what you did almost cost her life. Why are you so adamant in keeping her by your side if you only want revenge? Cut all your ties from her family and that would be more justifiable than whatever you're doing

XXVII: Build-Up TensionAlyssa's POVI felt like crying as I watched Lance writhe in so much pain while whimpering like a puppy. I wanted to reach out and touch him but I was afraid I would only hurt him more. He shifted back to his form and I kneeled beside his wounded body. A gasp left my lips when I saw his rib cage protruding in his body and a huge bruise was already forming around his middle. "I'm sorry, Lance." I apologized because I felt bad watching him. Some men tried to lift him but he only screamed in pain. His father soon appeared before him and I saw the look of concern on his face. "Take him to the infirmary." Knox's voice said from behind me, making me stiffen, and I glared at him sideways. How could he sound so calm when his brother–the one he beat up mercilessly–is broken and hurt?Max helped them lift Lance and it's disheartening to listen to his cries of agony. I moved to follow them, but Knox grabbed my arm, sending that familiar tingle that his touch brings.

XXIX: Annual Game Between PacksKnox's POVI avoided the wicked woman like the plague. I am beyond angry and frustrated because of her leaving me all high and dry just when I was second away from my release. I haven't gotten any release, damn it! And she just had to tease me like that! I don't know what kind of potion of curse that woman put on me and I don't care. I just want out. I should be the one pranking her, punishing her and not the other way around. I intended to ignore Alyssa's presence but my plan was ruined when I received an invitation. It was our annual game between packs to showcase our talent, show off our strengths and also bond. I wouldn't have minded attending like always, but Wolfric specifically invited Alyssa so she can be introduced to everyone as my 'Luna'. Hell will freeze before I marry that woman–choose her as my second mate at that. I sent everyone a message regarding the upcoming game this weekend, requiring my best men to attend so they can join the
