Alle Kapitel von The Lycan's Rejected Mate: Kapitel 81 – Kapitel 90

I was forced to stay in the hospital for an extra day.The doctors said that I was fine, but they wanted to keep an eye on me, and in that extra twenty-four hours, I received so many flowers and gifts that my hospital room looked like a mini orchard.The flowers started to come around eight in the morning. The first bunch I got came from the school and the principal. It was their way of apologizing for me having to go in at all. After that, I got a new delivery every few minutes.When someone knocked on the door around evening, I groaned. “Please tell me it’s not another delivery.”“Unfortunately, it is,” a voice drawled and I looked up to find Ashton walking into the room.He had Layla in one hand, and she held a bunch of beautiful red roses. She scrambled out of his grip and rushed over to where I sat in the hospital bed, her red pigtails bobbing behind her.She launched herself into my lap despite Ashton asking her to be careful.“I brought this for you,” she said, holding out the

The smell of bacon and cheese filled my nose as I made my way down the stairs.After taking a long needed shower, I walked out of the room to find a pair of sweats and one of Elias’ large shirts laid out for me. I ditched the sweats and pulled on his shirt. It was so big that it reached the middle of my thighs and it smelled like him. I paired it with the thigh high socks he left on the bed and padded into the kitchen.He heard me the moment I crossed the doorway and glanced over at me out of the corner of his eyes. He turned away at first then did a double take and cursed low under his breath.“You’re going to be the death of me,” he muttered, turning to face me completely. “How do you manage to make my shirt look like the sexiest thing in the world?”My cheeks turned pink. “I think you’re just biased.”“Maybe.”He made his way over to me, his hands settling on my hips. Despite the fact that his hands were over his shirt, I could feel the heat of him searing into my skin. It was like

He screamed, the knife instantly falling from his hands.Without thinking, I grabbed it with both hands and I stabbed.I couldn’t see past the anger in my heart. I just lifted my hands and kept stabbing him over and over again. He screamed, trying to fight me off. I wasn’t sure if he just wasn’t strong enough, or if my anger had given me superhuman strength.The sound of metal entering flesh filled the air, but it still wasn’t enough to banish the thoughts roaming in my head. I could feel his hands over me, could still smell his breath on my skin. Nothing took that away, not even the sounds of his screams getting softer until it became silent.I wasn’t sure how long I stabbed him for, but by the time I came back to, there was blood everywhere.Ethan was barely recognizable, and I was completely covered in the red liquid. I dropped the knife in part shock and part horror at what I’d done.“No,” I whispered, my hands covering my mouth in shame. “Fuck, no.”In our world, there were a few

She fell asleep shortly after that.The exhaustion of the day finally caught up with her, and I watched as she softly snored, her chest rising and falling with each breath.I had to check on the clean up going on downstairs, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave her. Every time I tried, I was filled with an immense panic that someone would try to hurt her, someone would try to take her from me.Nearly an hour passed before I was finally able to detangle myself from her. My chest burned, like someone had injected me with pure silver. It took a considerable amount of strength to pull away from her, and with each step I took further away from her, the more my mood began to sour.The traces of blood were gone from the steps, but the smell still hung in the air. There was nothing they’d be able to do about it for a few days, but that metallic smell, mixed with her fear set me on edge.“The cleaners just left,” Carlos’ voice filled my ears.I turned to find him standing by the doorway to the

She shut me out.A part of me knew it was going to happen soon, especially because she’d been avoiding me for the past two days, but I’d comforted myself over the fact that she didn’t know how.Clearly, she’d figured it out because I couldn’t feel her anymore.I felt the instant she put that dividing wall between us, and my first instinct was to go to her, to demand that she pull it down. I was halfway out the door when I felt my lycan tug me back,It was very rare that we weren’t on the same page, especially when it came to Isadora. He was the more protective of us, and I would’ve expected him to be on board, but he wasn’t. I felt his hesitation, and it was enough for me to take a deep breath and realize that storming over to Isa would do more harm than good.I was working from home today, not because I needed to, but because I wanted to keep a close eye on her. She wasn’t sleeping well, and she wasn’t eating either. She’d put on a firm smile and pretend like everything was fine, but
