All Chapters of Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Alpha Twins: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Serena’s POVThe elder’s words seemed to stay in the air for a time after he finished speaking.“There is no bond " he said, his voice carrying across the hall with the authority of centuries behind it. "There never was.”Then there was silence.No one rushed to speak.No one tried to comfort me.No one defended me.The silence felt heavier than any accusation.I stood on the stage with my hands clenched at my sides. Hundreds of eyes were fixed on me. A moment ago those same people had applauded when I entered the room. They had smiled at me. They had admired me.Now they just stared.The difference was suffocating.I swallowed hard. Forced myself to lift my chin. I could already feel my composure cracking.Around the hall, people started whisperingThey weren’t loud.They weren’t aggressive.They were just quiet.Careful.Disappointed.“I don’t get it…”“Why would she say that?”“The elder said it himself.”“Did she really think it was true?”Each whisper felt like another weight on

Serena’s POVThe drive back to the mansion took five minutes.Five minutes is all it took.That was it.Those five minutes felt longer than the night at the gathering.When the car doors closed behind me the silence was too much to handle.There was no applause no whispers, no audience, no performance.It was just me.For the time that night, nobody was watching me.The driver kept his eyes on the road and the city lights moved across the window beside me.I found myself staring at my reflection in the window.I barely recognized the woman looking back at me.My makeup was still perfect my dress was still beautiful my hair was still exactly as Linda had done it.From the outside nothing had changed,. Inside everything had changed.I closed my eyes. Immediately I heard the elder's voice."There is no bond " he said.Then my father's voice came "The council will handle it from here."Then there was Roland or rather there was no Roland.That hurt the most.I took a breath before I could

Selena’s POVI did not realize how much things had changed until we started walking toward the exit.An hour ago people looked at me like I was someone they did not want to talk to. Some people did not even want to look at me. Others stared at me for a while just to remind me that they already thought they knew who I was.Now people moved out of my way when I walked by.The difference was small. It was there.One of the council members who had ignored me earlier said hello to me when we walked by. An older woman from a neighboring group smiled at me. Even some of the leaders who had been talking about me earlier said hello.It felt weird.Not because I wanted them to like me.Because I knew how fast people changed when they were told it was okay to.Kai walked on my right. Kian walked on my left. They did not say much. People noticed they were there.Nobody came close to me.Nobody asked me any questions.Nobody tried to fight with meFor the first time in a long time, I felt safe wit

Roland’s POVI was sitting in a booth with Marcus. I couldn't help but think that our conversation should have ended after I confessed everything.. Neither of us got up to leave. It was like some things once said out loud make other things come out too.I sat back. Looked at my drink. The noise of the bar was still there. It was like it was really far away. There was a game on the TV people were watching. Glasses were clinking, but none of it seemed to matter to me anymore.Marcus looked at me for a time before he said anything.“ What now?" he asked.The question sounded simple. I knew it wasn't.Nothing about my situation was simple anymore.I rubbed my jaw. Took a deep breath.“You make it sound like I can just go to the estate tomorrow and say I want a divorce " I said.Marcus raised an eyebrow.“Can you?" he asked.I laughed,. It wasn't funny.“No " I said.I had thought about it a lot. I knew it wasn't that easy.Marcus leaned forward.“Because of Serena?" he asked.I shook my h

Serena’s POVI was determined to stay awake until Roland came home. I was exhausted after what happened at the gathering. I just could not sleep. I sat in the sitting room feeling tired over but I refused to move.A bottle of drink was on the table next to me. I do not usually drink that much. Tonight was different. I had many unanswered questions and every time I thought about them I wanted another drink.The mansion was really quiet. There were no visitors, no meetings, no father, and no Roland. Just silence. I picked up my glass. Finished the drink. Then I let out a breath.I said to myself "He is coming back.". The words did not sound very convincing even to me. The grandfather clock just kept ticking. Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into waiting.At some point I lay down on the sofa for a minute.. Before I knew it I fell asleep. The thing I knew sunlight was shining on my face. I woke up with a start. My neck hurt my head hurt everything hurt.I sat up quickly. The roo
