The Mate They Threw Away의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

​Sage.The Rejected knew who I was. It was very unsettling but I expected it. After all, I had spent the last four years studying them. I understood why the Council were at each other’s neck.The Rejection mostly affected high-ranking werewolves more than the low-ranking ones because the High rankers had more to lose.And each member of the High Chancel knew that they could be next. The smell of fear was chocking in this chamber.“Welcome,” Asher said casually.“Are we really about to embark on this travesty?” Mason demanded angrily.“You should not be so quick to judge us, Mason of the House of Stone, after all, your son is one of us now and we know you have him chained deep under the ground of your home.” Ella spoke with a cruel smile.All rejected were connected by a perverted bond. I called it the anti-bond. It was supernatural connection the rejected have for each other and what held this anti-bond together was still unknown.There was still a lot that I did not despite the fact t

Asher.“So, she chose him first,” I muttered as I drove all the way to Southern District. I was jealous and angry at the same time as I thought of what Sage had done. Sure, Dominic had bonded with her too but the fact that she let him fuck her first made my blood boil. I chuckled at my situation. I Asher Killian, Alpha Secundus was upset about a low-ranking werewolf whom I had rejected a long time ago. It made no fucking sense! I was angry at the way I was feeling! 

I watched Kieran pace the library like a caged animal, his movements tight and controlled, yet somehow desperate. The afternoon light streaming through the tall windows caught the tension in his shoulders, the rigid set of his jaw. I’d overheard him on the phone with Asher earlier, and the conversation had left him looking more troubled than I’d seen him in years.The situation was spiraling beyond his control, and for someone like Kieran, an Alpha who’d built his entire identity on strength and certainty, that helplessness was eating him alive. What was happening to werewolves around the world wasn’t something he could fix with strategy or force. For once in his life, Kieran Stone was truly powerless.And me? I was squirming in my seat, trying desperately to concentrate on the ancient texts spread before me, on anything but the way his shoulders moved beneath his shirt, the sharp angle of his jaw, those smoldering eyes that had haunted my dreams for three long years.“Maybe we should

KieranI hated being helpless. It was a feeling I’d spent my entire adult life avoiding, a weakness I’d systematically eliminated from every aspect of my existence. After what happened to my family, I’d sworn I would never be vulnerable again, never be caught off-guard, never be at anyone’s mercy.Yet here I was, standing in what should have been my own territory, feeling more lost and powerless than I had in decades.Sage.The thought of her name alone sent conflicting emotions coursing through me. Ever since she’d stepped foot back into Silver Crest, it was as if she’d brought all the troubles and vengeance of the world with her. Nothing made sense anymore. The carefully constructed order I’d built was crumbling, and I couldn’t tell if she was the earthquake or just the first crack in an already weakening foundation.I desired her with a passion that defied all logic and reason. But I also hated her with a rage that burned just as bright, just as consuming. The two emotions warred i

KieranI woke in panic, my consciousness slamming back into my body like a physical blow. My feet were unsteady as I planted them on the cold floors of the Halls, and for a disorienting moment, I had no idea where I was or how long I’d been unconscious. Minutes? Hours? Days?My heart was racing, pounding against my ribs with a force that should have been painful. But it wasn’t fear driving that frantic rhythm, it was something far more dangerous and infinitely more consuming.Desire.Blinding, overwhelming desire that seemed to originate from somewhere deep inside me, from a place I didn’t even know existed. It wasn’t the normal want that came with attraction or even the intense pull of a mate bond. This was something primal and ancient, something that felt like it could consume me who
