All Chapters of His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

*Adele's point of view*I wore the outfit Demarion had picked out for me. It was a fitted blue top with thin white lines running across it, paired with blue jeans that hugged just right. The fabric felt soft against my skin, and for a moment I caught my reflection and tilted my head slightly.He really did not have bad taste.We met downstairs where Kade, Cindy, James, and Diana were already waiting. The air felt heavy, like something unseen was pressing down on all of us.Diana stood a little apart from the rest. She had not said a single word since everything happened. Her face had lost all color. It was pale and dull, like the life had been drained out of her. Her eyes looked distant, as if she was still trapped in whatever she had seen.No one spoke as we made our way back along the narrow path that led to the forest. Dry leaves crunched softly under our feet, the sound too loud in the silence. The deeper we went, the colder it felt.When we reached the clearing, they were already

*Adele's point of view*“Cindy, where are you?” I asked, my voice tight with panic as I rushed out the door. My feet barely touched the ground as I moved fast, while Kade and the others followed right behind me.“At the cliff,” she replied.“She’s at the cliff,” I repeated out loud so everyone could hear, not slowing down as we headed toward the forest.“Okay… are you alright?” I asked her quickly. “We’re already coming. Just hold on.”“No!” Cindy’s voice cut through sharply. “She said you have to come alone. She has a knife.”My steps stopped. Everything inside me went still.“What?” Kade asked immediately, his voice filled with urgency as he stepped closer. “What did she say?”Before I could answer him, Cindy’s voice came again, rushed and shaking. “Adele, please hurry. That girl is insane.”“What happened?” I asked, forcing myself to stay focused. “How did she even catch you?”“I went back to where I thought I dropped the bracelet,” Cindy explained, her words coming fast. “It wasn’

*Adele's point of view*I kept my eyes on Demarion. I didn’t dare look away.It felt like if I blinked, even for a second, he would vanish. And if he did, I would fall. I would follow Claire down to the rocks below.But he didn’t let go either. He held on. And with one strong pull, he dragged me up. My body scraped against the rough edge of the cliff, stones cutting into my skin and dirt pressing into every bruise. It hurt, but I didn’t care.I was alive. That was all that mattered.The moment I was fully on solid ground, he pulled me into his arms and I surrendered against him. A sob tore out of me before I could stop it. Then another. My body shook as everything I had been holding in rushed out at once.For a moment back there… I truly believed I was dead. I clung to him, my fingers gripping his shirt tightly as if letting go would send me back over the edge. Then slowly, my breathing steadied and the sobs eased.When I finally managed to calm down, I pulled back and turned toward C

*James' point of view*I lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling, my eyes fixed on nothing in particular. There was peace and quiet in the room, but there was none in my mind. My mind was a chaotic mess.Adele was back. She was alive and she was safe. That should have been enough. It should have filled me with relief and with peace. And part of me did feel that. A weight had lifted knowing she was no longer in danger. But beneath that, buried deep in my chest, there was something else. Something hollow that I could not ignore.There was an emptiness.I let out a slow breath, my chest rising and falling as I tried to make sense of it. My thoughts drifted, pulling me back to the cliff. Back to that moment when Maddie’s voice still echoed in my head, sounding sharp and cold as she told us off. The memory hit me hard, like something twisting inside my chest. I swallowed, but it did nothing to ease the tightness.Then, just as quickly, another memory followed. Adele and Cindy. The way th

*James' point of view*“What are you doing here? How did you find me? And how long have you been standing there?” I asked.I pushed myself up from the ground and turned to face Maddie as she walked toward me, her hands tucked behind her back.“What are you hiding back there?” I added.A small feeling of suspicion crept in, but it was hard to focus on that. My heart beat faster with every step she took. It pounded hard against my chest, and the pull of the mate bond stretched through me, brushing against every nerve like a quiet electric current.She tilted her head slightly, a small smile touching her lips. “Okay, slow down. One question at a time,” she said. Her voice was soft, almost playful. “I came to talk to you. I saw you running in the forest, so I followed you. And I stood there long enough to hear you talking to yourself.” She let out a light laugh at the end.I narrowed my eyes a little, still focused on her hidden hands. “Alright… so what are you hiding?”Her expression sof
