Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king : Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Ginnie***I had been sitting in my car for almost twenty minutes. The engine was off, but my hands remained wrapped tightly around the steering wheel.Across the street, the school gates were crowded with children spilling onto the pavement as the final bell sent everyone home.I hated every second of this.I hated myself for even agreeing to it in the first place. But I had no choice.Not after Adrian had threatened to show that video to Kenna.My fingers tightened around the steering wheel as I glanced at the school entrance again.Children were beginning to come out in larger groups. Then I saw him.Jayden.His little backpack was hanging from one shoulder as he walked beside a teacher.He looked completely innocent, unaware of the fact that he was about to play a role in Adrian’s twisted plan. A sad smile touched my lips as I watched the teacher lead him toward the waiting cars.They had barely moved a few steps when a black SUV pulled up. Two men stepped out, one of them moving

Varkos ***The tires screamed against the concrete road as I pushed the car harder, the speedometer climbing with every second, but I barely noticed.My hands were locked around the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles had turned white.Jayden had been kidnapped.Every time the words repeated inside my head, something inside me twisted harder.My jaw tightened as I pressed harder on the accelerator, almost as though I wanted to reach my destination in a matter of seconds.Because there was one name that kept forcing its way into my thoughts.Ginnie.Since the news of Jayden’s kidnapping reached us this afternoon, Kenna had planted doubts in my mind that Ginnie was behind it.“This is her way of getting revenge on me for being responsible for Lily’s death.” She had cried out.Even worse, Lady Ravenna had looked at me with that cold certainty in her eyes and told me that Ginnie couldn’t suddenly become close to Jayden without a reason."No."I quickly pushed the thought away and f

Varkos***Pain was the first thing I felt when consciousness slowly dragged me back.A deep, burning ache crawled through every muscle in my body. My limbs felt as though they had been filled with stones, too weak to obey me.At first, everything was blurred.A weak light flickered somewhere above me, casting shadows across a small, filthy room. My thoughts were still circling when suddenly, the memory of what had happened came rushing back. The last thing I remembered was the sharp prick of a needle piercing the back of my neck. A burning sensation had spread through my body almost instantly before everything went dark.Wolfsbane.Of course.It was the only thing capable of bringing an Alpha Lycan like me to his knees.Slowly, I tried to lift my hand, but something cold pressed against my wrists.“What the hell?”I turned my head, only to see a rope wrapped tightly around my wrists, binding them against a thick iron bar.I continued struggling against the ropes, pulling my wrists a

Ginnie***The single word barely left Jayden's lips before Varkos pulled him against his chest. He wrapped both arms around Jayden and held him so tightly that the little boy disappeared against him. Then, he buried his face in Jayden's hair, pressing kisses against his forehead again and again before pulling back just enough to cover his small face with kisses.I stood frozen a few feet away, laughing through the tears rolling down my cheeks. I wiped beneath my eyes, but more tears replaced the ones I had brushed away.A few moments later, Varkos pulled back and cupped Jayden's face between his hands.“Dad….” Jayden wrapped his little arms around Varkos's neck. “I thought I wouldn't see you again.”A quiet laugh escaped Varkos as he pressed another kiss against Jayden’s forehead.“You're never getting rid of me that easily.”Despite myself, a faint smile curved across my lips. For a brief moment, Varkos met my gaze over Jayden's shoulder.Something flickered across his expression be

Varkos***“Ginnie, don’t you dare die on me! My voice broke as I ran beside the stretcher. The wheels rattled violently against the hospital floor as the nurses pushed her toward the ICU, moving faster than I could keep up with. Ginnie’s eyes remained closed, her face frighteningly pale beneath the harsh white lights above us as blood stained the fabric around her shoulder where the arrow had torn through her flesh.“Please…open your eyes.” I reached for her hand, wrapping my fingers around hers as I ran beside the stretcher. “Stay awake. You hear me?”One of the nurses glanced at me briefly before turning her attention back to the stretcher.“We need to move quickly.”Almost immediately, the ICU doors appeared ahead, and the medical team pushed the stretcher through them.I had barely taken a step inside when the nurse stopped in front of me.“Sir, you can't go inside.”“Get out of my way.” I tried to move past her, but she blocked my path. “The woman I love is in there, goddammit!
