Her Rogue: Alpha Queen's Rejected Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

SERENA POV“Answer me!” Jayden roared, his alpha tone crashing into the quiet night like thunder ripping through the sky.The sound of his voice sent a sharp tremor through my body, instinct clawing at me to submit, to bow, to obey. My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin, reacting to his dominance, but I clenched my fists hard, digging my nails into my palms until pain grounded me. I refused. I had bowed enough in this life.“Why should he?” I shot back, lifting my chin even though my heart was pounding violently against my ribs. “And get one thing clear, I am not your woman. You refused to accept or acknowledge our bond, remember? Or did you suddenly forget?”The words tasted bitter on my tongue, sharp with years of buried pain. The moonlight above us seemed to freeze, illuminating the tension crackling between us like exposed wire.Jayden’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing dangerously. “We will talk about that later,” he said coldly. “I demand an answer from this man. Don’t you kn

SERENA POV“Serena, open the door.”Jayden’s voice came again, firm and rough, followed by the heavy sound of his fist banging against the wood. The door shook slightly, echoing through the room, each knock hitting directly at my chest.“Why should I? Answer me, why should I open the door for you.” I shouted back, my voice sharp, defensive.Silence followed for a second, then his voice softened. “Please, Serena. Open the door. Let’s talk things out.”I laughed bitterly, the sound hollow even to my own ears.“Talk things out. What is there to talk about? We have absolutely nothing to talk about. Just leave me alone. I am already used to being alone, used to having no one who truly loves me. So don’t worry, I will survive and continue living as always.”The words tasted bitter on my tongue, laced with years of pain I had buried deep. I leaned my back against the door, my palm pressed flat against the wood, as if I could physically hold him out.“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done, I do

SERENA POVI smelled something delicious before I even fully opened my eyes. For a moment, I wondered if I was dreaming. The scent kept overwhelming me, curling around my senses and dragging my stomach into an uncontrollable growl. I squinted gently against the brightness streaming through the curtains, blinking slowly as I tried to adjust. My body ached everywhere, reminders of yesterday pressing against me, but the pull of the aroma made me groan softly.I opened my eyes fully, then squinted and closed them again. Slowly, I let them adjust, and finally, I saw a plate of food perfectly arranged on the small table by the bed. My breath caught. My heart stuttered, part from hunger, part from shock, and part from the presence standing before me.Jayden.He was standing there, arms relaxed, a faint smile playing on his lips, eyes watching me as though he could read every thought rattling through my head. Why is he here? My chest tightened. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and

SERENA POV“What’s the rumor going on around the pack?”Fiona’s voice cut through the air sharply before I even realized the door had opened.The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang, making my body jolt in shock. The scent of her strong perfume filled the room immediately, mixed with something darker, anger, authority, accusation.She walked in quickly, her sharp heels clicking against the marble floor like a warning. Her eyes were blazing. Her nostrils flared as she sniffed the air slowly, deliberately, like a predator confirming what she already suspected.My heart skipped. Her gaze landed on me. Cold. Piercing. Furious.“Tell me this is not true. Tell me it is not true that you two mate with each other” she demanded as she marched toward me.Before I could react, she grabbed my arm and yanked me off Jayden’s lap, pulling me roughly to my feet. The sudden movement sent a sharp ache through my body, reminding me of last night. I stumbled slightly but steadied myself, immed

SERENA POV“I am so sorry big brother Caleb. I was about to come to you this morning after finishing my work only to be dragged out of the palace by Willow and Zora,” I said, trying to sound serious and playful even though I could see the teasing glint in his eyes. It made me realize that he was acting earlier.The sitting room lights reflected softly on the marble floor beneath our feet, the palace unusually quiet for this hour. A faint scent of polished wood and fresh flowers lingered in the air, calming yet heavy with unspoken tension. Ever since the investigation began, nothing in this palace truly felt peaceful anymore. Caleb crossed his arms, studying me carefully, his expression half amused, half-knowing.“I know you are lying,” he said, stepping closer. “If you truly wished to come to me, they couldn't stop you. You just forgot about me.” His tone softened after a moment. “But I am truly happy for you. For finally resolving all your misunderstandings with Jayden.”His words
