บททั้งหมดของ Rise of the Alpha's King Rejected Mate : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Darius“I'm still waiting. If you've got nothing better to talk about, then I have something better doing with my time.” The room had been dead silent since I almost strangled an elder. They all look scared, scared not to say anything that might cause me to flare up like that again. “Your Highness…” one started, clearing his throat while looking round the table at the others before his eyes finally settled on me. “You should understand our concerns. We are concerned for the people and their trust in us. If they all end up dead because of lack of negligence, who would you rule?” I was silent for a few seconds as I held his gaze. He's brave, I'd dice him that. “Your point exactly?” I asked again and this time another one took it from him. “As Helene said earlier,” he started, referring to the female elder that spoke earlier. “The council of elders exist to give advice to the alpha king. We're only here to lay our concerns and give you advice.” My finger tapped on the side of my he

“No fucking way!” The words left my mouth before I could process my thoughts and every eyes turned to me. “Is there a problem? Do you know her?” Marcus asked, concerned as he saw the look on my face. A mixture of shock and alarm ran through the blood in my veins and I could do nothing but stare at the woman. The wrinkles, the hair, the face, everything was the same as in the dream I just had. “Alpha.” She bowed her head in respect to Lucian and nodded his head in acknowledgement. “Luna?” Marcus called again, finally snapping my attention away from the woman and towards him. “It's fine, I'm fine.” “This is Helena, the only healer I have in my pack. I trust this woman with my life and the life of every of my pack member. She will take care of you.” Lucian said, introducing the woman with pride. No doubt, with the way he spoke of her and the aura she carried, you would know she knew her job well. “You still look like you've seen a ghost, child.” She spoke, and just like in the dr

LyraHer words shut down my whole system for a few seconds and I was unable to process anything. Until my brain finally registered what she had said. “What did you just say!?” I asked, panic starting to crawl up my skin. “You might be dead in the next few minutes, the poison is already close to your heart.”Her response came out so casual, like she didn't just tell me I was about to breathe my last. “What do you mean? Why do you seem so calm about this if I'm dying!!” I asked, my tone rising with each word I said, but she didn't even flinch. Instead, she set the two vials aside, going into her bag again. “Calm down and allow me to do what I was made for.” “Okay, but it's kind of hard not to panic when you've just been told you're a few minutes away from meeting physically with the moon goddess.” She ignored my complaints, rifling through her bag with a frown itched to her forehead. Bottles clinked, whatever she stored in the bag, rattled. Then, she stilled, a smile carving onto

Darius “Wh…what's going on?” I tried to speak out, but the voice only sounded in my head. The forest floor was damp beneath me, cool moss pressing against my cheek as the world around me dimmed. My lungs burned from the run, my vision blurred at the edges, and then, darkness swallowed me whole.When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t in the forest anymore.I stood in an endless stretch of silver mist, the air heavy,something unnatural that prickled across my skin. My bare feet pressed against, nothing, it was almost like I was floating, but I was walking, yet I couldn't feel anything under my feet.I walked on regardless, the trail leading toward a shadow that moved in the fog. And then I saw him.A wolf stepped forward, massive enough to blot out the mist behind him. His fur was a deep black, shimmering with streaks of silver that made its fur so attractive you would want to rip it off its body. His eyes, God, those eyes, burned an amber so fierce it made me take a step back. Every line o

I had barely taken a few deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves while I used my fingers to massage my forehand when I heard a sound.The ground trembled beneath me, faint at first and I was almost convinced I was imagining it. Then it came stronger, enough to feel the vibration on the chair I sat on. “What the hell!!” I whispered to myself, sitting up right and staying alert. Initially, I thought the ground was preparing to open up, but I was wrong. Before I could move, the door burst open. Marcus stumbled in, breathing hard, his face showing all the nerve wreckage he was experiencing. “Luna,” He stopped, chest heaving, eyes wide. “What's happening, why do you look like you've seen your worst nightmare.” My voice sounded urgent as the urgency propelled me to my feet. “Troops….”“Troops from where!?” My impatience did not allow me to let him complete his sentence as I cut him short. “The alpha king… Alpha ...” He didn’t finish. He didn’t have to. The word alpha king sinked into
