Alle Kapitel von The Mate They Threw Away: Kapitel 171 – Kapitel 180

Elvira.I was amused by the suspicious behaviour of the youngest son of the Stone Pack.Icarus. He had such curious eyes and a vibrant, nervous energy. He watched me closely anytime he felt like I was up to no good. It was entertaining. He was also enamoured of the Beta whose naked body was all he could think of as I took a glimpse of his mind. A young cub in love. I never got tired of desire, no matter what act or form it showed itself. Young Icarus lusted after his elder brother's Beta and I was going to use it to my advantage. I only needed to bide my time. "I am watching you," Icarus said for the twentieth time. "Is that all you plan to do?" I teased. "Watch me to death?"My words caught him off guard. "Don't you have anything better to do?""I have to keep an eye on you," He replied. "You are dangerous.""And you are being strung along by a Beta who only plans to toy with your feelings until she gets who she truly wants," I replied with a knowing smile. We were standing de

Sage.“You might need to watch your tone, Elvira,” I cautioned hastily. “Why are you here, Xena and Icarus?” Kieran demanded in annoyed tone. “And who the hell is this creature mouthing off suicidally at me?” “The Witch has a warning for you,” Xena replied with a shrug.“I tried to stop them, Alpha Keiran,” X said as she wiped her bloody nose.“Yes, you failed.” Kieran replied and waved her off. The mention of witch had captured his attention fully.X left again without a word but I knew she was going to be plotting her revenge.“Did you say Witch?” Keiran asked and peered closely at Elvira who still glowered angrily.“I am Sage’s long-lost sister and I am here to tell you that you have just unknowingly unleashed a curse on all of us.” Elvira proclaimed coldly.Kieran scoffed and looked at me.“It is true, she is my sister,” I admitted in a humiliated tone but I dared not reveal that she was behind the sex spell. As much as I hated Elvira, I did not want her to die by Kieran’s hand.

​​​​Dominic.One precise thrust of my custom-made silver dagger into their brains killed them instantly. I had stopped counting how many I had killed after the fifth raid. Effective immediately, the Rejected had been given a new name. The Brood.This was due to how freakishly fast they multiplied and how much destruction they wrought everywhere they manifested. Most of the Broods I killed with my team were at the third stage of the Rejection which means they were more feral and felt literarily no pain nor do they ever get tired.“It is pointless to trade blows with them,” I had briefed my men before we began to exterminate them. “Aim for the head or heart with excellent precision.”Despite my warnings I still lost many men to the claws and teeth of these cursed Rejected. It was a daunting task because no matter how many we eliminated, more just kept on coming. The territory was descending into a full-blown battle zone and I needed to bring order. I knew that there were was no need f

​​​​Sage.My vision blurred for a while before it focused on the white ceiling of the hospital room I was admitted in. The smell of cleaning chemicals and antiseptic filled my nostrils as I sat up. A sudden bout of dizziness hit me and I fought back the urge to vomit.“You should lie back,” Elvira’s voice echoed and my ears ached from the sound of her voice.“How did I get here?” I asked in a groggy voice. My stomach grumbled.“The medics brought you here,” Elvira said. “What of the Alphas?” I asked as I remembered the explosion.“They survived…. barely.” Elvira said worriedly.I removed the intravenous needle inserted in my right arm. There was no point in staying here. “I need to get to the library.” I said to Elvira.“You need to rest, Sage,” she replied with concern.“Did you see those things?!” I asked exasperatedly. “Those were wolves on fire!”“Hell wolves,” Elvira said.The name gave me an involuntary shiver. “Why are they here?” I asked. Elvira made no reply.“There could b

Sage.The library was as silent as a graveyard despite the sheer number of people in it. It was like there was a mysterious urge to seek knowledge after Kieran and his Alphas took over the ruling of Silver Crest.It seemed the people took some solace in books. Maybe it was their only way out of dealing with the chaos.“What are we looking for?” Ava asked in a whisper.“We are not looking for anything.” I stated dismissively and took in the sight and ambience of the vast library. “Then why are we here?” she pressed.“To look for someone.” I replied.“And who might that be, if you do not mind me asking.” Ava said, getting irritated by my vague responses. “The head archivist,” I replied in an even tone and walked to where Marcus usually had his office. Marcus was the official care taker of the Silver Crest library. A role he had accepted with pride and executed with a discipline and principle that made even the council envious.Marcus was deeply hated by the now defunct Council because
