All Chapters of His Rejected Mate: Her Cold Hearted Alpha: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

*Adele's point of view*"Demarion..." I called out again, but the sound fell on deaf ears. I could tell just by looking at him that he was already far too deep into his dark hunger to hear me.I had to admit, a sudden wave of nerves hit my stomach."Um, Ellie?" I quickly called out to my wolf inside my mind."Yeah?" she replied almost instantly, her tone full of amusement."Help me," I pleaded as Demarion's dark eyes locked onto mine. He was taking his time, savoring every single second."What? I was not the one who decided to tease him past the point of no return. Just play along, be bold, and have fun. He is not going to hurt you," Ellie coached me gently. With that, she retreated back into the quiet corners of my mind, leaving me alone in my human skin to face the thoroughly aroused Alpha."Fine," I breathed out softly. I gathered up whatever bits of courage I had left and forced myself to look right back into the eyes of the man I called my husband.He noticed the change in my ga

*Adele's point of view*Rio stood up first, his expression grim. "For the past few days, Viraj has been holding back, being careful about how many warriors he's sent after us. Tonight will be entirely different. He plans to end this once and for all. He's committing everything he has because he doesn't expect us to survive the night."The silence that settled over the table was quite heavy. Before sitting down, Rio's gaze turned toward Maya, who was watching him with unblinking intensity.Demarion leaned forward, his voice having the calm authority the pack relied on. "That means tonight demands everything we have. We need another medical ward set up immediately. Kade, I want every apprentice between twenty and twenty-two deployed to reinforce injured frontline fighters. The younger ones, eighteen and nineteen, will handle field extraction."No one interrupted."Rio, train three hundred archers before sunset. Kade and James, take the new recruits to the training grounds. I'll take com

*Demarion's point of view*Rio and I crashed through the clinic door only a heartbeat after Adele lay limp in Maya's arms.I didn't think. I was beside Adele in an instant, lifting her into my arms.The second my hands touched her, her entire body jerked violently. Every muscle locked at once until she became as stiff as a piece of wood."We have to get her into the sun!" Maya shouted.I didn't waste another second.Holding Adele tightly, I sprinted through the clinic, burst out the front door, and raced into the yard."Clear the grounds!" I thundered across the pack grounds.Everyone scattered without hesitation. Only the council remained where they stood. Then I carefully lowered Adele onto the grass. The moment her head settled, her neck tilted to one side.Every single person around froze and stayed silent.The small puncture wound on her neck, where one of the traitors had tried to poison our Luna, had appeared again. Thick, dark veins spread out from it like the legs of a spider

*Adele's point of view*I raced through the forest with Demarion in my grasp. I wove between the towering trees like I'd run these paths a thousand times before. Low branches whipped at my face and I ducked them effortlessly.Fallen logs littered the earth, but I jumped over them without breaking my stride. The wind roared violently in my ears, heavy with the scent of pine, damp dirt, and the wild, intoxicating pulse of the heart beating right against me.I didn't slow down until we broke into the high clearing above the cliff.With one hard shove, I slammed Demarion onto the solid ground.The air exploded from his lungs with a rough grunt as his back cracked against the dirt. For a second he lay there dazed, blinking up at the sky, trying to shake off the impact and clear his head.I didn't give him the chance.I lunged, dropping onto him and pinning him flat.That snapped him out of it. He dragged in a sharp breath and twisted his weight, rolling us over in one fluid motion so he wa

*Adele's point of view*"Demarion..." I chuckled as his lips pressed a soft trail of kisses down the sensitive skin of my neck.He lifted me without effort, sitting me onto the cool surface of the wooden dresser before stepping tightly between my open knees."What is it?" he murmured, his breath warming my skin a second before his mouth returned to my flesh."You promised you wouldn't do this," I managed to say, catching my lower lip between my teeth as his mouth nipped a little harder, leaving a hot mark behind.I tried to keep my thoughts clear, but the total pull he had over me made it impossible to reason. My mind was telling me to stop, but my racing heart and heavy pulse were telling a completely different story.The moment his broad palms rested against my bare thighs, I knew my body had surrendered the fight.Demarion laughed quietly, finally lifting his head to look at me. "No, I said I wouldn't drag you to the bed. I never said a word about leaving my wife alone."I released
