All Chapters of The Lycan's Rejected Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I knew I was being dramatic but I couldn’t help it.I couldn’t understand why he’d kiss me and completely disappear for the rest of the day. I could’ve reached out to him on my own, but my pride wouldn’t let me.I hated how my mind was swirling with thoughts and worry. Did he not enjoy what we did? Did he regret it? I’d never panicked like this before, and I hated it.I stared at Elias, my hands crossed over my chest. He just stood in front of me, blocking the exit with a frown.“I need to go, Elias.”I tried to brush past him, but he stopped me. “You’re not going anywhere until we actually talk about this. What demon possessed you to think I was ignoring you?”“Don’t spin this around on me. You just disappeared into your office.”“Because I was giving you space!” he exclaimed. “I didn’t want to overwhelm you. You’re like a frightened mouse.”“Then why did you kiss me?” I asked. ““This is all your fault. You’re the one who kissed me and now I-”“You what?”I groaned. “This isn’t about

Silence.That was the first thing I noticed after her declaration.It wasn’t because I didn’t know what to say, but rather because I was worried if I said anything, it would destroy the moment. I wanted to package it and savor the moment in time.After being alive for over a hundred years, I’d learned to stop and smell the flowers. Time went by in the snap of a finger, but this was a moment in time that I didn’t want to just go by.“I know you might think I’m just saying it,” she continued slowly. “But I really have thought about it. I don’t want to be scared anymore, I don’t want to be worried. I trust you, and I really love it here. Besides, if I say no, it isn’t like I have anywhere else to go.”She chuckled awkwardly.“That isn’t to say that I’m doing this simply because I don’t have anywhere else to go. If I didn’t want to be your mate, I wouldn’t, regardless of that.”She continued to ramble, her cheeks growing brighter with each passing second. For a few seconds, I just watched

CHAPTER 55: ISADORAThe silence was the most terrifying thing.It wasn’t unusual for there to be silence between Elias and I, but the tension in the air and the anticipation only made it scary. It also wasn’t helpful that every few seconds, Carlos would glance over at me as if worried that something would happen.I followed closely beside them, keeping my hands tucked into the pocket of Elias’ hoodie that he’d tossed at me before we left the room. It smelled like him, and it was the only thing that provided me with a sense of comfort and solace.We walked towards Elias’ office, and to my surprise, Erina was already there. She was in a short black night gown that she covered with a floor length transparent robe. Her hair was in a bun atop her head and even though she looked exhausted, her eyes were sharp and alight.She was cursing into the phone when we walked in but she immediately fell silent as soon as she noticed me.“Why is she here?” she asked, and although I knew the venom in h

Every second before the sun rose felt like an hour.My heart was pounding in my chest and the anxiety that wrapped around my neck like a noose only got worse.Elias sat with me the entire time, trying to assure me that it would be fine, but I couldn’t tell if he was trying to convince me or himself. He was clearly worried. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have spent the entire morning with me.He didn’t go for his usual training. Instead, he sat at the edge of the bed with me, glancing at his phone every two seconds as if waiting for a message from someone.“We can leave here, you know?” he said after a moment of silence and I turned to him.“Go where? You’re the Alpha.”He chuckled softly. “I didn’t mean the pack as a whole. I meant the pack house. We could move into my home… if you want.”“I thought you said you weren’t worried about the outcome.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “You sound very worried to me.”“I’m worried about you, Isadora. I don’t care about the pack, I don’t care abou

I took the letter before Isadora had the chance to touch the paper.The guard bowed, excusing himself from the dining room. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, waiting to see what the letter was about, but I merely folded it and shoved it into my pockets. I already had an idea what was in there, and Isa didn’t need to see it.“Elias,” she began but I squeezed her hip; a gentle way of telling her to be quiet. “You have to open it at some point.”“Not really.”She let out an exasperated sigh. “You can’t protect me from everything?”“Is that a dare?”She rolled her eyes, pulling herself to her feet and stormed off. I watched her disappear, fighting the urge to follow her. She needed her space right now. Following her would only infuriate her more and make things worse.As soon as the doors shut behind her, Carlos spoke. “What does the council want?”I shrugged, rising to my feet. “I don’t know.”“Read the damn letter, Elias.”“No. If they want to say something, they better be ready to sa
