Semua Bab Rejected By The Alpha, Now Pregnant With His Baby: Bab 51 - Bab 60

DamienChaos is everywhere, and my instincts are screaming at me to protect Jade and Penny first. But something darker is out there, and it’s not going to wait for us to catch our breath. My wolf is on high alert, pacing inside me, ready to tear into whatever threat we find next.Jade’s beside me, her face pale but determined. She’s already saved us once tonight, and now there’s no time to slow down. No time for fear. We’ve got to find this thing, the real threat, before it finds us.“I know it’s out there,” Jade declares as she cradles Penny in her arms, glancing around the darkened woods. “That… thing I felt, it wasn’t just the lesser demons. There’s something bigger.”“We’ll get it,” I say, “but first, we get Penny somewhere safe.”Jade hesitates, but I can tell she agrees. The weight of being a parent is hitting both of us hard right now, knowing that one wrong move could end in disaster.I hand Penny off to Leah, who’s already shifted back into her human form. “Take her to the ch

JadeI wake up feeling like I’ve been hit by a truck.Not the metaphorical “Oh, I’m a little tired” kind of truck, but the literal “I got slammed into the ground by a demon and overexerted my powers until I broke something” kind of truck. My head is pounding, my body feels like it’s been stretched beyond its limits, and there’s a weird, hollow sensation in my chest, like something’s missing.I blink against the light streaming in through the window. The first thing I see is Penny’s little face all scrunched up with worry, staring down at me like she’s waiting for me to stop being a zombie and join the land of the living.“Mama?” she whispers, her voice so small, I can barely hear it.I force a smile, despite how heavy everything feels, and reach out to brush a lock of hair away from her face. “Hey, baby.”Her eyes light up, and before I know it, she’s launching herself at me, throwing her tiny arms around my neck and hugging me so tight, I can barely breathe. Not that I care. I’d let

Epilogue - DamienSix months later, and I’m still trying to get used to how different everything feels. And how everything feels right at the same time. It’s hard to believe that after all the chaos, after all the demons and battles, we finally have some peace. Even if it’s just temporary.Jade’s standing across the room, talking to Alec and a few others from the East Hills pack. Her eyes are bright with laughter as she tosses her brown hair over her shoulder. The sight of her, looking so vibrant and alive, still hits me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. She’s been through hell, but here she is, standing tall and confident.Catching me staring, she raises an eyebrow and gives me that look. The one that says, “Are you going to come over here and join the conversation or just keep ogling me from across the room?”I smirk and lift my beer in a mock toast before taking a swig. Alec’s official alpha ceremony is in full swing, and the packs are celebrating like there’s no tomorrow. It’s well-

I’m forced to marry the bully of my youth.My family owes the pack money. They offer me as the new Alpha’s bride to pay them back.The Alpha agrees because he needs an arranged marriage to secure his position.He used to torment me. Now all I can do is become his forced bride and carry his baby.I never fit in. I was always the bookish introvert who got bullied and mocked.I returned to my hometown to pick up my life and fulfill my duties to the pack.If I’d known he’d be the new Alpha, I would have stayed away.And if I’d known I’d be forced to marry him, I would have run to the ends of the world.He tells me I have no choice but to be his mate, or he’ll get my family shunned.But I’m a big girl now. I’m no longer the quiet nerd he used to push around.And yet late at night in his bed, he reduces me to the vulnerable, helpless girl I once was.And as shame floods me once again, he makes me his and uses me for his own purposes.Can my bully Alpha be the baby daddy I dream of?*****ch

IsadoraI knew returning home would be a headache, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this kind of headache.“Mom, you want to run that by me one more time?” I’m standing in our cramped, overly warm kitchen, holding onto the counter for dear life as I stare at my mother, who’s suddenly developed an intense interest in the toaster on the counter.She wrings her hands, avoiding looking at me. My father clears his throat from his usual spot at the table. My mother may be the one pacing, but he’s the one I’m watching. He’s always been quieter, a little too good at deflecting, and right now, he’s looking everywhere but at me. It’s annoying.“It’s not exactly like that, darling,” she says, giving me a tight smile that I recognize as her patented “calm down, everything’s fine” look. It never works.“Oh, I think it’sexactlylike that,” I reply. “You offered me up for marriage. To the alpha.
