Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 201 - チャプター 203

Anton's POV Running had always been my escape. When I was angry, I ran. When I couldn't sleep, I ran. It usually worked. Not anymore. My feet pounded against the dirt trail. Every breath burned pleasantly in my lungs. Every stride should have been clearing my head. Instead, I kept seeing her. Gray eyes. Dark hair. I cursed under my breath and picked up my pace. "This is ridiculous," I muttered. I barely knew her. She fought for the enemy. She had spent her entire life serving the people trying to kill Hannah. So why couldn't I stop thinking about her? I vaulted over a fallen log without breaking stride. The familiar scent of pine and damp earth filled the air. Then... Something else. Rain. Smoke. Wild lavender. I stopped so abruptly my boots dug grooves into the trail. No. It couldn't be. The wind shifted again. I'd recognize it anywhere. I closed my eyes for a moment, letting instinct take over. She was close. Very close.

Hannah's POV There were bodies everywhere. Atreus' Sentinels and Wards had been torn to shreds. Blood stained the ground, broken weapons lay scattered across the yard, and smoke curled into the night sky. The few who remained were still fighting. Atreus was a force of nature. He moved through the yard with terrifying precision, ripping the head from one Daywalker before driving an ashwood stake straight through another's heart. Every movement was controlled, every strike lethal. His clothes were soaked with blood, but he never slowed. Every time someone tried to get past him, they died. Anton fought not far from him. His claws tore through Veil operatives as if they were made of paper. He shifted between human and wolf with frightening speed, knocking enemies aside to protect the Sentinels fighting around him. For a brief second, I caught sight of Kaia. She stood among the Veil. Her movements were graceful, almost effortless, as she fought beside them. Then our eyes met.
