บททั้งหมดของ Once His Mate, Now His Rival: บทที่ 241 - บทที่ 250

It was past midnight back at the black storm pack and Dana had just had her checkup. Marcus and Alaric were seated outside her ward, they were currently in Alaric’s pack hospital.Just then, the door opened and a middle aged woman stepped out, her face damp with sweat.Both Alphas turned to her immediately, tension clear on both of their faces. Marcus had told Alaric exactly who Dana was and how Dominik had marked her.“How is she? Can I see her?” Marcus asked shooting to his feet. His hair was a mess and disheveled from running his fingers through it over and over.“Please, calm down Alpha Marc, the young lady is fine,” the head doctor replied, giving him a stern look. “The wolfsbane in her system must have been minimal, there’s no longer a trace of it in her blood.”Marcus looked surprised but said nothing. He knew the wolfsbane dosage was a lot, but deep down he had a feeling he had to do with her powers as an alpha.“I have to say, I’m quite surprised at the speed she’s healing… i

For what felt like an eternity , Marcus stood in front of Dana’s ward, his heart pounding as he debated whether to enter or not. The thought of seeing her in such a fragile state hurt more than he could put into the words. And deep down, he knew it was all his fault. “Stop being hard on yourself man, she’s going to be fine,” Alaric said, giving him a light tap on the back before turning and walking off to face matters concerning his own pack. A few seconds after he left, Marcus finally took a deep breath and stepped inside. In the dimly lit room, she lay there, looking to be in a peaceful slumber. He walked over to her slowly, each step heavier than the last, as though he was walking through tar. The guilt that he had not been able to protect her eating him from the inside out. He dropped on his knees near her bed, his eyes landing on the mark that had now formed on her neck. He had seen it before, the same crimson wolf with eight sharp fangs instead of four. The only differenc

Dana felt sick to the stomach, her vision blurring. A mark was the most sacred thing in the werewolf world, an embodiment that tied two mates together, forever, but that was something she was never going to experience because that monster, Dominik, had gone against the laws of the moon goddess and had taken that from her.He had marked her, stained her soul for all of eternity.She felt numbness wash over her as the realization hit her. Once again he had her trapped. She could no longer hear Marcus, not even when his arms locked around her, whispering comforting words.Only the disgusting mark on her neck filled her mind. She had been wrong. No matter how far away she was from him, or how much she grew or got stronger, he would always win.Her legs gave way, but she did not even realize Marcus had caught her, lifting her in a bridal style and carrying to the bed.“Listen to me, cupcake… it’s going to be ok.” He said cupping her face once he had her on his lap on the bed, but she did

“As much as you want kill me right now, I think you should look at her first,” Alaric said making Marcus turn his use to Dana, thinking Alaric wa simply trying to distract him until he saw her face. His heart dropped when he saw how pale she was.“Fuck, Dee, what’s wrong?” he murmured cupping her face. She blinked slowly, as if dazed, still trying to process what she had just realized.“I… I don’t understand… h..how.. I don’t.. I don’t get it,” she whispered, her voice shaky. Him marking shouldn’t have cut her link to the pack, yes it would form a pack link to him but it shouldn’t…“He’s an alpha, Dee. When an alpha marks someone, they formed a new pack link and their ties to their former pack are broken by default… don’t worry, when we get back to the pack, I… I will re-initiate you,” he said trying to calm her down and running his fingers through her silky hair.“I uh, I’ll go get some snacks…” Alaric muttered quickly leaving the room. Dana closed her eyes, her breathing uneven as s

The moment she turned and left, Dana slammed door shut behind her and Marcus smirked, finding her comment rather hot."Well, you got your answer." He said cockily"Do you think she can do this?!" Victor snapped, redirecting his anger towards his son instead. "I’m disappointed in you Marc," Marcus frowned."Yeah, she can if you all had some faith. And you weren’t there… you didn’t see how that monster was treating his own pack," He said. " beside, it’s not like she'll be alone, she has us, her pack behind her."Victor looked at Laura, it was true they could not really hide any longer now that Dominik knew the truth…He would come for them, that must was for sure, and he feared for his wife and daughters."Of course, we are behind her, but it isn't safe." Jackson said, his anger simmering down a notch."I’ve seen the way Dominik treats his pack. I get that you ran to protect your daughters and your own life... but as their Luna, you failed them.Dana is stepping up once again, doing wh
