Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By Racer Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

KatyLucian took another step closer, his hands finally finding my arms, his touch gentle and hesitant. "What she and I had... it wasn't real. Not like this. It was built on grief and obligation. It ended before it even began. What I have with you... it's the realest thing I've ever known. You are my home, Katy. Not this apartment, not the pack. You." Lucian declared, his gaze on me scorching. I wanted to believe him. I did.Lucian never made me feel anything less than his entire world.But the image of Serena's face, the certainty in her voice when she claimed him was like a poison seeping into my veins.I looked up at him.I looked into the eyes I trusted more than my own and asked that one question that terrified me the most."If she hadn't lost the baby," I whispered, my voice trembling. "If she had stayed... would you be with her now?"The question hung between us, heavy and Suffocating.I watched the color drain from Lucian's face.I saw the raw pain that flashed in his eyes.

Lucian pov Katy falls asleep not long after her head hits the bed. I watch her sleep in my arms, my heart swelling with love. I think about what would have happened if I hadn't met her. Where would I be right now? I would probably be that man I was, drinking, whoring around and being miserable. Meeting Katy changed my life, it gave me a new purpose. A purpose to live. A purpose to love. She was my second chance and it still makes me mad that I almost messed it up. Gently, I brush a stray strand of hair from her forehead, my fingers lingering on the soft skin of her cheek. She stirs but doesn't wake, a soft sigh escaping her lips. She looks so peaceful and innocent, completely unaware of the turmoil she's endured tonight. A new wave of anger cuts through my lingering guilt. Serena. She did this. She waltzed back into my life like she owned it and used a past I had forgotten to stain my present and future. My hands clench into fists at my sides. The urge to hunt her dow

CelesteI had been anxious the whole day and I didn't know why. Scrap that, I did know why. Victor was taking me out to dinner. My mate was asking me out on a date and I was fucking excited yet scared that I might mess it.This was my second chance and I didn't want to ruin it for myself. I deserved it, right?I was putting on a red shade of lipstick and I couldn't help but wonder if it was too much. I mean, I had changed shades three times. Same thing with the dress, even the lingerie ... I knew, it was even stupid since Victor might not even have been interested in anything intimate with me that night.But what if he was?I took a deep breath, my gaze fixed on my reflection. The woman staring back at me was a stranger to my eyes.Her hair was styled in soft waves, her makeup was flawless, and the deep green dress she was wearing clung to her curves in all the right places. She looked... confident and desirable.I took one last look at myself and nodded. That was it. That was the new

Victor POV " No one has ever done that for me before." Celeste's words cut me deep. I could not control the ache that spread through my heart when I heard that.Just what has my mate gone through? How was her childhood? One thing I know and can tell so far, it wasn't smooth. I can't help but wish there's a way I could erase all the past pain. Maybe that's why she turned into the person she was, always competing and trying to put others down." You have me now. Forget about the past and let's live the moment and the future the moon Goddess has planned for us."I take her face into my hands, my fingers tracing the delicate bones of her jaw. I want to kiss her, to erase the memory of Jerald's ugly words with the touch of my lips.But I hold back. This is not the right time. This is not the right place. She's been through a lot tonight, and the last thing I want is to push her." Let's get you home," I say, my voice soft.She nods, her eyes never leaving mine. I can see the trust in th

Celeste povThe morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I woke up to the feel of Victor's arms wrapped around me, his steady breathing against my neck.A smile played on my lips as I remembered the night before…the intensity of our connection and the way he had claimed me, body and soul.I turned in his arms, my gaze roaming over his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and so vulnerable.It was a stark contrast to the powerful Beta he was during the day and of course, the passionate lover he was last night.I couldn't resist the urge to trace the line of his jaw, my fingers lingering on the soft bristle of his morning stubble.He stirred awake, his eyes fluttering open. A slow, lazy smile spread across his face as he saw me."Good morning," he greeted, his voice husky with sleep."Good morning," I replied, my heart fluttering.He leaned in and kissed me.It was a soft, lingering kiss that held the promise of more to come."How did you sleep?" h
