The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Reborn のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Sophia's POVThe goblet fell from Lila's hand, the sound of it hitting the floor as it rang through the hall like a gunshot. The wine spilled everywhere, dark red against white marble, and suddenly everyone went quiet. All eyes turned to the platform where Lila stood, clutching at her throat like she couldn't breathe.My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest. This was it. Yeah! The potion was working."Lila?" Marcus was already moving, practically running to her side. His voice cracked when he said her name. "What's wrong? What's happening?" Are you okay?” He kept questioning, got to his knees and tried to help her stand up.She tried to answer but nothing came out. Her mouth kept opening and closing, no sound, just panic in those violet eyes. The color was draining right out of her face."Get a healer!" Marcus yelled, looking around wildly at the guards. "Now! Somebody help her!" He added.People started shouting, chairs scraping back as alphas jumped to

Sophia's POVThe hall exploded, everyone started shouting on top of their voices. Chairs scraped back, the Alphas jumped up, some yelled questions, while others barked orders. Everywhere were in pure chaos.I just stood there, watching Lila's body jerk on that throne. Those black veins kept spreading, now , there were getting thick, dark. It is like someone drew them with ink."Get a healer!" Marcus screamed, his voice broke. "Somebody help her!"Three healers shoved through the crowd, rushed to the platform and dropped beside Lila. Their hands glowed as they pressed them against her chest, to her neck. Everywhere.But I saw it in their faces, their wide eyes and the looks they gave each other.They couldn't fix this."No, no, no," Marcus kept saying, he shook Lila's shoulders. "Don't do this, don't leave me. I can't rule this pack alone"One healer looked up, her face was white. "Alpha Marcus, I'm sorry, the poison is too strong, we can't—""Try harder!" Marcus yelled.Too

Marcus's POVThe guards came back faster than I expected. Empty-handed? I looked up from the papers on my desk. The elders were still there, all sitting and waiting for Lila to be brought in, watching me like hawks."Where's the body?" I asked.The lead guard shifted on his feet. "Alpha, we... we couldn't find it."I blinked my eyes, trying to understand he said "What? You didn't?" I questioned, almost yelling."The body, it's not there, we couldn't find anything related to it there."For a moment, I just stared at him. Then I laughed, a short, harsh laughter, it all like a joke. "You're joking.""No, Alpha. The hall is empty, she's gone. We tried to find around the hall but yet we couldn't find the trace of her body"My hands slammed on the desk. "I sent you to get a dead body. How hard is that?"The guard flinched. "We checked everywhere. She's not there.""Then you didn't look hard enough!" I stood up. My chair scraped back. "Go back. Find her. Now! I want her body brought back

Ethan's POVI couldn't breathe.The smoke filled my lungs, it's thick, choking and I tried to cough it out but it kept coming.Around me, guards dropped to their knees. Gasping. Marcus was bent over, his hands on his knees as he kept struggling.Sophia was beside me., I pulled her close. I tried to shield her from the smoke even though I could barely breathe."What the hell—" I choked out.Through the purple haze, I saw her.Violet.Standing there like the smoke didn't touch her, her hands still glowing with a face calm. While we all are choking to death here.Fury shot through me.What was she doing? We were about to handle Marcus, about to end this madness of his here and she interfered. Is she now working with him?This bitch!The smoke started to thin. Slowly, it was like Violet was pulling it back.I took a shaky breath, my throat burned and my eyes watered.Sophia coughed beside me, I held her tighter. I could protect her first, make sure she is okay."Are you insane? Do you wan

Ethan's POVThe moment we stepped back inside the palace, I couldn't take my eyes off her.Sophia walked beside me, her auburn hair cascading over her shoulders, her green eyes still sharp with the remnants of anger from Marcus's accusations. Even exhausted, even after everything that happened tonight, she was breathtaking."Are you alright?" I asked quietly as we climbed the stairs toward my chambers.She glanced at me, a small smile playing on her lips. "I should be asking you that. You're the one who almost started a war.""Almost," I corrected, pulling her closer. "But I would've finished it if it meant protecting you."Her smile faded, replaced by something softer. Something vulnerable. "You always say things like that.""Because I mean them."We reached my door and I pushed it open, guiding her inside. The room was dimly lit, the fireplace casting warm shadows across the walls. I closed the door behind us and turned to find her watching me, her expression unreadable."Ethan," sh
