All Chapters of The Lycan's Rejected Mate: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

People were horrible. I always knew the world wasn't a rosy place, and that bad guys loved making other people miserable. But as I read through the documents in Patrick's room, as I stared at images after images of the innocent people who have been sold like they were nothing but commodities, my heart clenched so hard in my chest. The operation was way larger then we expected. Elias and Carlos were having a very rapid fire conversation with Patrick, and I knew I should listen, but it was hard for me to concentrate. Not when my eyes kept going back to the images. Those people Ethan and his accomplices sold were someone's family too. A mother. Father. Sister. Lover. They all belonged to someone, and because some Alphas were cruel and selfish and greedy, innocent people fell victim. A shudder ripped through me as I tried to imagine the hell I would go through if someone I loved and cared about was suddenly taken away from me. Suddenly, the slight guilt that had been pressing dow

My heart was running wildly in my chest, and it was taking all of my willpower to keep driving. I knew where the warehouse was, but I could not drive there. Not when there was the possibility that Patrick's father would beat me there, and then everything would fall into pieces. Elias had left me in Patrick's house and gave me stern instructions not to move. And I listened to him, I really did. But after a while, my instincts started to tell me that I needed to leave. So I locked Patrick's door, assuming that he had a spare key somewhere. I would have left the door open, but I didn't want to risk anyone coming in here and finding all the evidence he had gathered painstakingly. And then I got into the car, told the guards we were leaving, and started to drive away from the pack. We stopped after a while, and I went back on foot. Apparently, I had left just in time, because Patrick's father and the Alpha drove in minutes after I left, and if they had seen me, they would find out that

There was a loud ringing in my ears. It drowned all other sounds until it was all I could hear.My Beta had been hurt, and he had lied to me when I asked if he was okay. I had been too exhausted to see that he was not okay, that all the blood that coated his body didn't belong to the people we fought. It was his blood too. My hands ached from being curled into fists so hard, but that pain was nothing but a dull edge compared to what was in my chest. I didn't move from where I stood. My study was clean and pristine, and I was filthy. But I didn't give a shit. I just stood there, letting the guilt ravage me from inside out. "I'm sorry," Erina's voice echoed softly in the quiet study. I said nothing, I didn't even turn to look at her. I already knew she was in here with me, right from the moment she walked in. She moved closer. "I...I didn't mean what I said. I was hurt and worried about him, especially considering that fact that the doctor told me that we might have to take him t

CHAPTER 117ISADORACarlos was awake. Tears sprang into my eyes as I watched him, and my heart clenched in my chest. "Come on, Isa. You don't have to look at me that way. As you can see, I am not dead," he mused, his expression turning into a wince as he tried to sit up. I immediately rushed to his sides, my arms wrapping around him as I helped him lay his back against the wall. When he was comfortable enough, I stepped back to properly look him over. He must have seen something on my face because he grinned, and the sight of that familiar expression made me relax a little bit. He was okay. Carlos was okay. "Isadora. It's weird to see you looking at me like that. What's going on?" he asked, and his question rankled me for obvious reasons. I raised my eyebrows at him. "What's going on? You're asking me what's going on, Carlos? You almost died. You knew you were hurt and you didn't say anything to Elias. You decided that it was a good idea to drive all the way back here from P

Isadora spent a lot of time with the victims, longer than I expected. We knew close to nothing about them. No names, Packs, or even an identity to work with. They were the runts of wherever they were kidnapped from, and as I waited for Isadora, all I could think about was if she would be able to get them to open up to her. The rogues went about their business as usual, and no one bothered me, even though I knew they were staring and pretending not to. "Little wolf. Is everything okay in there?" I asked through the mind link when I could not take the silence any longer. She didn't respond immediately, so I pushed past the flimsy barrier between us and called for her again. "Answer me, Isadora.""I'm okay. Stop distracting me. I'll be out soon," she responded curtly, her tone sharp with impatience.Satisfied that she was fine and I had nothing to worry about, I leaned back against the car and waited some more. And then, after what felt like forever, she eventually stepped outside
