All Chapters of Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By His Alpha Uncle : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

“Do you think everyone’s still talking about us?” Maren whispered beside Jenna as the convoy rolled to a smooth stop in front of the academy gates.Jenna shot her a flat look. “You even have to ask?”Maren peeked out the tinted window. Already, the hum of gossip was everywhere, students clustered at the entrance, some pointing openly at the sleek Rolls-Royce Kaelion had sent for them, others whispering behind their hands.Maren groaned. “Great. Another day of being the headline show.”Jenna smoothed her skirt, ignoring the pinch in her chest. “Let’s just walk in like we don’t hear them.”“People like them never get bored,” Jenna replied quietly, gathering her bag as the driver hurried to open her door. “They thrive on someone else’s misery.”The driver opened her door. The second her heels clicked against the pavement, the gossip swelled.“…that’s her, the Alpha King’s mate…”“Cassia and Lorain said she poisoned him against them…”“No wonder he barely acknowledges his own siblings any

Jenna didn’t answer Drake. She couldn’t.Her chest was too tight, her throat too dry. All she managed was a stiff nod before she turned on her heel.“Jenna…”“No,” she hissed, grabbing Maren’s wrist before he could say more. Her heels clicked against the floor, carrying her away before the old memories could consume her.Maren jogged to keep up. “Are you seriously not going to talk to him?”“I can’t.”“You can’t… or you won’t?”Jenna swallowed. The air felt thick. “Both. He’s Kaelion’s brother. That’s all that matters now.”Maren opened her mouth, then shut it again. She didn’t press further, and Jenna was grateful. If she let herself linger on Drake, the warmth of his smile, the stolen kiss in the library, the stupid way he used to tease her until she laughed herself sore, she’d fall for him. And she couldn’t afford that. Not here and not now.By the time they reached their apartment, Jenna’s pulse had barely settled.Drake’s door was cracked open. She could feel his presence even wi

The tension in the lecture hall was thick enough to choke on.Jenna sat frozen, her notebook clutched in white-knuckled fingers as Ryker stormed down the aisle, his boots echoing against the polished floor. Every pair of eyes in the hall followed him, wide and anxious, whispering in low, frantic voices.At the front of the room, Kaelion didn’t move. He didn’t even flinch. The Alpha Lycan King stood with terrifying composure, one hand resting lightly on the lectern, the other tucked casually into his pocket. His piercing silver eyes locked onto Ryker with the patience of a predator waiting for a foolish wolf to cross a line.“Kaelion,” Ryker snarled, stopping a few paces short of the platform. “This isn’t your arena. You’ve got no business here.”Kaelion’s lips curved into that infuriatingly calm smirk Jenna knew too well. His voice when it came was low, smooth, but dripping with quiet power that made the air vibrate.“I wasn’t aware the academy belonged to you, Ryker. Have the rules c

The academy gates were never quiet, but today… It was chaotic.Students pressed against the iron bars, necks craning, chatter swelling like a hive of bees. Phones lifted into the air, screens recording every second as a sleek convoy of cars rolled to a stop. Not just Kaelion’s usual black beasts of steel and authority but glittering white luxury sedans, their roofs covered in roses so fresh the morning dew still clung to them.The first car arrived just as students were streaming into the courtyard. A sleek white luxury sedan, polished so bright the sun flared off its hood. Then another. And another. Until a full line of cars purred up to the gates in flawless sync.Silence fell for a while. Then chaos erupted.“What the hell…?”“Are those… Kaelion’s men?”“Look at the crest! That’s the Alpha King’s convoy!”Jenna felt her stomach plunge to her shoes. She was in the middle of the courtyard with Maren, and suddenly it felt like every eye was on her.Maren dropped her bag with a loud th

Lexa’s growl lingered long after the gala night ended.“We should tell him,” her wolf pressed the next morning as Jenna scribbled halfheartedly on her notebook. “Our mate is the Alpha King. You think a threat like that is petty? Someone’s planning to hurt us. Let him deal with it.”Jenna clenched her pen tighter, forcing her focus onto the lecture slide in front of her. “Kaelion has the pack to rule, councils waiting for him. He doesn’t need to hear about scraps of gossip whispered behind my back.”Lexa snarled. “Gossip doesn’t end with death threats, Jenna.”Her chest tightened, but she shook her head hard. “We’re not running to him for every little challenge. I’ll handle this.”Lexa fell silent, she disapproved entirely.———If Jenna thought burying herself in her studies would help, she was wrong. Because Kaelion didn’t let her.By the third day after the gala, he was already invading her hours like the academy had been built for his amusement. He slipped into classrooms he wasn’t
