Semua Bab The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Reborn: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Marcus's POVI couldn't stop thinking about her,Sophia. Standing in that jewelry store, while she looks at me like I was nothing, like I was beneath her. Like she had moved on and forgotten everything we had together.The humiliation burned through me like acid."Alpha, are you listening?" one of my council members asked.I blinked, realizing I was in a meeting. The Nightfall Pack's financial reports were spread across the table in front of me. These were numbers that showed exactly how badly things were going."Yes," I lied. "Continue."But I wasn't listening. All I could see was Sophia's face, her smile and her rejection. She stood beside Ethan like she belonged to him.She was mine, she would always be mine and no matter what she said, she remained mine, no one would take her away from me not even Ethan.The meeting ended eventually, and I dismissed everyone. Alone in my office, I poured myself a drink and stared out the window.My business was failing, the pack was stru

Sophia's POVBy the time Ethan and I reached the venue of Marcus’s new jewelry store, cars had already filled the parking lot, the media present and ready to capture the unveiling moment.Ethan had his hand pressed to the small of back, guiding me protectively as we gently pushed through the crowd to the front, to get a better view. Marcus was giving some bullshit speech about following your dreams and never giving up. I rolled my eyes, Zyra hissing inside my head, whispering curses at him.As soon as his eyes landed on us, a smirk stretched across his lips. He pointed in my direction, causing the media to turn to capture our faces.“...and lastly, I'd like to thank my dear ex wife. This had originally been our dream together, but after she left me, she tried to bring our dream to life alone—and failed woefully,” he said, the last words laced with spite.I tried to look offended, keeping the smile threatening to break free firmly at bay. Marcus bought it. He mistook my silence for regr

Marcus POVI swear I’m going to make them pay, even if it’s the last thing I do on this earth,” I roared, kicking at the ruined fake jewelry scattered across the floor.Glass skittered and clinked as the pieces flew, catching the light one last time before landing in ugly, broken piles. The sight only fueled the fury burning through my chest.“Calm down, Marcus. People are still watching,” Lila said, her voice coaxing, but it grated on my nerves like a persistent buzz.“Do I look like I fucking care?” I snapped.I turned on the bystanders still lingering in the room, their eyes wide, their phones and cameras half-raised as if they were afraid to miss a single second of my humiliation. Rage surged, hot and uncontrollable.“The hell are you all staring at?” I barked. “Can’t you see the show is over? Get out!”They didn’t need to be told twice. Panic rippled through them as they scrambled toward the exit, bumping into one another in their rush to escape my wrath. Someone knocked over a d

Ethan’s POVPain blossomed across my chest like fire, sharp and invasive, far beyond anything a normal wound would bring. My wolf instincts screamed at me, demanding that I heal, but something was wrong. The healing pulse that usually surged through my body in seconds refused to respond. Jax was silent too. My lungs drew in ragged breaths, my heartbeat thundering like a drum in my ears, and it hit me then—poison. The assailant had coated the dagger. My ability to recover naturally was being suppressed.My vision blurred at the edges, the world tilting slightly as the stretcher jolted forward beneath me. Cold air brushed my skin, antiseptic and metal filling my senses as pressure burned deep in my chest where the wound had been hastily sealed. My mind went to instinct, to split-second calculations. If Sophia had not called my name in time, if I had turned even a fraction of a second later, the strike would have landed straight through my heart. The thought sent a surge of anger through

Marcus POVI had outdone myself for Lila’s Luna succession after she told me the job had been carried out. Believing her every word, I didn’t even bother asking for proof that Ethan had been taken out of the picture. All I knew was that he had been stabbed by a trained assassin using a dagger coated in wolfsbane so he would not heal. There was no way he was supposed to survive an attack like that. Or so I thought.Because the man I had hoped would be dead by now was sitting beside Damon, Alpha of the Pasquale pack.I turned on my heel and headed straight for the Luna’s dressing room, where I knew Lila would be. Without knocking, I barged in, not caring if I walked in on something indecent.“What the hell happened?” I barked.The ladies in waiting jumped, startled by the hostility in my voice. “Everyone out!”They didn’t need to be told twice. Each of them bowed hurriedly and left the room. Lila, for some reason, still looked completely unbothered. She pressed her lips together with a
