Semua Bab Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder: Bab 131 - Bab 140

The room instantly turned tense again after the warrior’s words.Ryder’s expression darkened dangerously.“What do you mean his body is missing?” he asked slowly, his voice calm in the most terrifying way possible.The warrior trembled violently under his gaze.“We noticed it some hours ago, Alpha,” he stammered nervously. “At first we thought wild animals might’ve dragged the body away or maybe the guards misplaced the location, but after searching the entire forest repeatedly… we couldn’t find anything.”“And you’re only reporting this now?” Ryder asked coldly.The warrior immediately fell to his knees.“We thought we could find him before informing you—”“You thought?” Ryder snapped sharply.The warrior flinched hard.Alpha Stone stepped forward immediately, his own expression darkening.“Explain yourself properly,” he ordered.The warrior swallowed hard before continuing shakily.“There were signs around the area that suggest s

Blade threw another stone into the water, but this time it didn’t feel playful. His arm around me was tighter than before, like he was holding something fragile he was afraid to lose.“You remember when I told you I loved someone” Blade said slowly. “But she got claimed by someone more powerful than me?”I blinked.“Yes I remember.”My voice came out softer than I expected.Blade didn’t look at me immediately. He picked up a small stone, rolled it between his fingers, then threw it far into the lake. “The girl I loved…” Blade finally said, his voice low, almost shaking.He stopped.Swallowed.Then continued.“Is you, Doris.”For a moment, the word didn’t make sense.I just stared at him.Like my brain refused to connect the words to reality.“What” I whispered. “What did you just say?”Blade turned his head slightly toward me, eyes already wet.“You heard me correctly.”I tried to breathe normally, but it didn’t fe

~ Dorathy ~ I smoothed my dress, my hands trembling slightly, though I fought to keep my expression cold and unreadable.“What do you want to say to me, Charles?” I asked, my voice colder than I intended. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, the ticking sound reminding me there was no more time left to waste on someone who had once broken me into pieces. “Please, be quick about it. Doris is waiting for me, and I don’t like keeping her waiting.”Charles didn't move at first, he just stood there, looking at me with eyes that seemed to have aged a lifetime in the last few hours. Then, slowly, he sank to his knees on the cold floor. The sight of him, the man who had once been my entire world, my safe place, my ride or die… standing there so broken should have moved me. But all I felt was a dull ache where my heart used to be."I know I have hurt you in so many ways, Dora," he whispered, his voice cracking so bad.He wouldn't look away, his gaze locked onto mine

~ Ryder ~The forest floor looked like a map of violence, but the main thing we came for was gone. I stood over the shallow mark where Lucious’s body should have been, cold and lifeless.Instead, there was only a dark, sticky stain of dried blood soaking into the ground and the flattened grass where something heavy had once been lying.“He didn’t crawl out of here on his own,” I said quietly, my voice rough.I looked at my father. He stood a few steps away, arms crossed, his eyes moving over the thick line of trees with sharp focus. He looked like an Alpha who knew the hunt wasn’t over.My father nodded slowly.“A dead man doesn’t walk, and a dying man leaves a trail,” he said. “But there’s no trail of blood leaving this place, Ryder. Only boot prints.”He looked at me.“Someone took him.”His words settled in my chest like heavy stones."That means he has allies we haven't flushed out yet. But the real question is whether they took his c

"What just happened there, Alpha?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. "Clara… she’s different. What if she’s actually lost it? What if she’s truly mentally unstable?"I didn't stop moving as I headed toward the main pack house, my heart already hammering against my ribs for a different reason. The image of Clara laughing and crying at the same time flashed through my mind again."The cell changed her," I replied. "Isolation turned her obsession into something toxic, something wild. But I don't have the luxury of worrying about her psyche right now. She can suit herself. My only priority is Doris."Without wasting another second, I headed toward the pack house with Julius beside me.I need to check on Doris first.I shoved the heavy doors of the pack house open, expecting to see Doris. Instead, in the living room, Gab’s grandma sat on the sofa with Gab who was hugging a pillow tightly.The moment the boy saw me, he scrambled off his seat and ran towar
