Semua Bab Rejected By My Alpha Mate: Bab 41 - Bab 50

I give him an incredulous look. “Oh, don’t pretend like you don’t know. I heard you tell one of your packmates to lie that he saw me do something to Marsha!”“What the hell are you going on about now?” Austin growls at me.“Someone overheard you!” I raise my voice, shoving him. “They recorded it and showed it to me.” I glare at him. “You know, I just don’t understand what your problem is with me. You keep inserting yourself into my life, and the moment I become an inconvenience, you decide to frame me for murder. I mean, I always thought you were a low life, but never to this extent.”Austin’s jaw tightens. “I don’t know what you think you heard, but I’m trying to help clear your name, not—"“Oh, really?” I scoff. “It’s been weeks since the murder. What have you been doing? Oh, wait! Coming up with a way to blame me for Marsha’s death. You know what? Fuck you, Austin!”Before he can say anything in defense, his phone begins to ring. Without looking at the screen, he glares at me befor

“I’m really tired, Loyd,” I say slowly. “I think it’s best if I go home.”I’m not looking at the ground as I speak, and I nearly stumble over an overgrown root. Loyd grabs me, and I wince at the strength of his fingers as he digs them into my arm. “Are you sure?”For a moment, when I look into his eyes, I feel uneasy. I allow a current to move through me, making him let me go quickly.“Absolutely,” I say with a smile. “Sorry about that. Habit.”He gives me a strange look, but that one moment has ended the evening for me. We part ways soon after, but I keep looking over my shoulder, feeling nervous for some reason.My pace is hurried as I rush home. Some of the tension leaves me when I turn around the corner to my building. However, I stiffen when I see the man standing in front of my apartment building, clearly waiting for me.Ignoring Austin is not really possible since he’s blocking the doorway. So I just stare at him coldly. “You really must have a lot of free time on your hands.”

When I blink, Raven is gasping for breath as I pin her against the wall, a few inches higher than me, her feet dangling in the air. “Your uncle may have some level of power in this pack, but I am still the Alpha. I can kill you in a heartbeat, Raven, and I don’t care much about the consequences at this point. So, call them off or I will track you down and present your head to your uncle.”The fear in her eyes is satisfying. I press, “Am I clear?”She nods desperately, and I release her, letting her slump to the ground. “Call them off. Now.”She scampers out of my office.My jaw is tense as I stare at the door before closing it and returning to my seat.I close my eyes, allowing myself a few moments to wonder what my life would have been like if I had let myself approach Seline and give her my mark. That night between us replays in my mind every time I go to bed. My fingers reach for her in my sleep, but I curl them on an empty bedsheet.I feel like a monster for every word I say to he

Chapter 23SelineIt’s the sound of beeping that wakes me up. Annoyed, I make to turn off the alarm clock, but my body feels far too heavy.And then, I hear the voices.“What do you mean she’s fading away?”That sounds like Austin. If Austin ever sounded anxious and all worked up.“Exactly what I said,” comes a female voice. “She’s all bones, which is bad enough, but her wolf is dying, Austin. I can pour some healing magic in, but not more. I can’t save her.”“You have to, Tammy. You have to save her. She can’t just die like this!”I’ve never heard Austin sound so distraught, and I wonder if I’m dreaming.“This is why you don’t reject a fated bond—"“It’s not supposed to kill her, Tammy!” Austin roars.“Stop shouting in my ward,” Tammy says tightly. “And what did you expect to happen, Austin? Come on. She’s a hybrid. Of course, she was going to react negatively to the bond being rejected. God knows how much she’s been suffering so far. It mustn’t have been easy for her.”My mind is st

“I did tell you.” I scowl. “You told me to deal with it.”The old vampire looks surprised. “Did you? I must have forgotten. I guess old age is finally catching up to—"“Oh save it!” I growl in frustration, halfway out of the room already. “And he’s not my mate! He doesn’t want me!”The mayor just looks a little amused, but lets me go.As I leave his office, I want to stomp my foot like a child, my frustration at its peak. Austin bought my building?I stare at my reflection in one of the boutique windows next to the town hall and try to think. Around the time that Raven and her cronies had tried to attack, Lacy had told me about the change in ownership. I hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but now a lot of these small details are very suspicious.But why did he do that when he kept telling me not to get involved with him, to stay away from him?There are so many thoughts running amok in my head, I can’t grab a single one and focus on it.My phone rings, and I glance at the screen
