All Chapters of Cheated Mate: I Bonded with a Comatose Alpha: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elena's POV"Elena..."Seeing my face covered in blood, a clear hint of guilt flashed in Pheisar's eyes.His hand froze mid-air, looking like he wanted to reach out and touch me. He hesitated, then finally took a step toward me.Selene put a hand on her forehead, swaying slightly, as if she might collapse any second.Her voice was fragile, like it would scatter in the wind. "Go check on Elena, don't worry about me...""Selene!"The moment Pheisar saw her stumble, he immediately turned to support her, his entire focus snapping back to her.That swiftly passing guilt was like a shooting star—it appeared and vanished.It made sense.In his mind, I wouldn't die. I wouldn't leave him.Selene was different. She was the she-wolf he had cherished since he was a boy.No matter how disappointed or heartbroken he made me, he could never watch her suffer."Hold on, I'm taking you to get treatment right now!" He didn't even look back, simply scooped her up and rushed out of the room.This time, th

Elena's POVThe van stopped in a cold, deep alley.The moment the door opened, a wave of mildew, garbage, and stale blood hit me, making me instantly gag. This was a classic rogue hideout.They hauled me roughly into a broken-down boarding house at the end of the alley. The paint was peeling, and the stairs creaked with every step.The door to the innermost room on the second floor was kicked open. I was dumped onto a bed, stained beyond recognition.The air inside was worse.Sweat, lust, and blood mixed together. The walls were decorated with restraints, barbed collars, and electric whips—each one stained with dark, dried blood."Ah, her body..." The tattooed rogue leered down at me, his smile disgusting. "Alpha Pheisar got bored, but it's a good deal for us."The other rogues behind him watched me like prey.Their eyes were slick and obscene, chilling me to the bone."Once we all bite her neck gland," one of them drawled, "she'll only smell like rogue filth. Forget Alpha Pheisar; ev

Elena's POV"I hope you drown!"Dominic's curse was torn apart by the wind. I could barely hear it. Everything felt distant.The wolfsbane raging inside me was a wildfire. The near-freezing pond water violently suppressed that fire, reducing it to mere embers.The cost was cold.Not just the skin-shivering cold, but a darkness that seemed to freeze the last connection between Lyra and me."Lyra?" I tried to call her in my mind.Silence. Absolute silence.No response, no whimpering.My wolf felt like she had been ripped out of my body, leaving only an empty shell.That emptiness terrified me more than the freezing water.I gritted my teeth and crawled onto the bank. My fingers were stiff and frozen, unable to curl. I clumsily tried to pull my shredded clothes around me.Everything that had happened tonight—the rogues, the poison, the violent tearing of the mating bond—crashed down on me.My body was long past its limit.The moment my hand touched my coat hem, I collapsed onto the frost

Elena's POVA bone-deep chill swept through my entire body.I remembered Selene's trembling gasps on the phone, freezing me to my core.My body was shaking like a leaf under Pheisar's suffocating weight.The metallic clink of a belt buckle echoed like a thunderclap near my ear.Four years ago, after my family fell apart and I endured my relatives' abuse, I learned that tears were the fluid of the weak, useless for saving a soul consumed by despair.Tears only emboldened my abusers, giving them free rein to humiliate me further.But now, a mixture of rage, failure, and humiliation overwhelmed me. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, wetting Pheisar's hand.He froze for a second, then turned my face to try and kiss my tears away.I seized the moment, lashing out with hatred."You trying to force yourself on me—how is this any different from those rogues who tried to defile me four years ago?"His face turned icy. He instantly stopped all movement.When his hold loosened, I quickl

Elena's POV"She's the shameless one!""How dare she go after Alpha Pheisar's fiancée's position? She should look in a mirror! A nobody trying to crawl into Alpha Pheisar's bed?"The shouts slammed into me like a tidal wave.For a moment, I didn't even grasp where this malice was coming from.I looked closer. The crowd surrounding me was mostly local idle people and Selene's fans.It was ridiculous. I, his actual mate, was being branded the "homewrecker" by the masses.I straightened my back, trying to keep my voice steady. "I did not interfere in anyone's relationship."That was the truth—the only honorable thing left between him and me.My words were quickly drowned out by the angry crowd."She was photographed leaving his place first thing this morning! And she claims she's innocent? Shameless!""I heard she was a flirt in school, always trying to climb the ladder using men. Not surprised.""You hurt Selene. You should at least apologize!""That's right, you should kneel and apolog
