All Chapters of The Lycan's Rejected Mate: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

"Breathe, Little wolf. You look like you're about to pass out," Elias said, his hand squeezing mine as we walked down the hall. I tried to smile, but I could not bring myself to that. So I just let my face fall back into its original expression. "I'm fine, Elias. I am just very...tired. Exhausted. And trying not to overthink the sudden presence of the council members. What are they doing here? We already have enough to deal with as it is," I responded, and my words came out a as a grumble. Elias stopped walking and turned to face me. Leaning down, he gently gripped my shoulders. "You are the Luna, Isadora. The council can say whatever they want, but you hold the power. You don't have to worry about what they came here to talk about."I reached up to pinch the bridge of my nose. "I know, Elias. I know. But as the Lycan Luna, I am also obligated to listen to their words and take it into consideration."Elias nodded. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, Little wolf. A

My brows were furrowed into a frown. "Don't be mean, Elias. You know you didn't have to say that to her," I quipped. He turned to face me. "She has to know.""It's none of our business! You should have waited until he wakes up and decides to tell her himself. For all we know, he might not reject her or the bond between them," I countered. Erina took a step forward. "Hold on. What are you guys talking about? I'll appreciate it if you talk to me directly instead of speaking like I am not in the room," she said, and her voice was sharp. A little edgy. I sighed as I broke my stare away from Elias. Erina was looking between us now, her expression curious and hopeful as she waited for us to say something. Elias's lips parted, and I knew he was about to break his cousin's heart in the bluntest way possible, so I jumped in. I beat him to it, blurting out the words before he could say anything. "There is someone else," I blurted, then stopped to take a breath before I continued. "When

If my heart fell right out of my chest right now, I would not be surprised. It was slamming down so hard against my ribcage, but I ignored it, along with the rattling in my chest, as I ran. And when I said I ran, I actually, really did. When I got the text from Erina that the girl had been found, the relief that slammed into me had almost knocked me off my feet. And I didn't care that I had a banging headache that had been plaguing me for months. I didn't give a shit about that, or anything else. All I wanted was to see Belle with my own eyes, to see her alive and well and safe. Untouched by those bastards. Without giving a damn about how I would appear or who else might be in the meeting room alongside Elias, Carlos and Erina, I threw the door wide open. For the fraction of a second, I took in everyone that was in here. The council members, which was surprising but not really unexpected. Belle's mother, who was holding on to her child for dear life — unsurprising and totally e

I grabbed a chair and hurled it against the wall. The wood was too fragile, too brittle to withstand the force of my anger, the force of the hit. The chair shattered. But my anger wasn't abated. It rose still, taking over my entire body, mind and soul. Isadora was wrong. She was utterly wrong. I wasn't putting my pack members at risk. And I was most definitely not picking Terrence over them. It was ridiculous for her to have even thought about it. I mean, I was the King. The Alpha. I was the most powerful Lycan in our world. It was my duty and my job to protect my people from everything. I would protect them with my life if I could, and yet Isadora had the guts to tell me that I was using them as fodder?Another chair hit the wall. And another. And another. Before long, the meeting room was in ruins around me. Someone cleared their throat behind me, and I turned around to face Carlos. Erina and Patrick lingered behind him, and I could see the stark fear on Patrick's face. I had

The fear kept spreading. Whenever I went into the pack to do some checkup and visit Belle in the process, what I saw scared me. Hope was fading from the pack members eyes, and it was being replaced by terror. I hated it. I hated it so much. But no matter how many renaissance trips I made, nothing changed. It was almost as though the pack was falling apart. I sighed, reaching up to pinch the bridge of my nose. I had to do something to quell the building fear, but what was I supposed to do?How was I...My thoughts were interrupted with the sound of the door opening, and I sat up in the darkness as Elias's scent filled the room. "Elias?" I called, when he didn't immediately switch on the lights. When the light eventually turned on, my hands flew to my mouth as I tried to surpress a gasp. He was covered in blood from head to toe, dripping where he stood just behind the door. I stood up immediately, my heart hammering so hard against my chest as I made my way towards him. "Wh
