All Chapters of Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

~ Doris ~“How?” I whispered. “Ryder, please tell me how he will be saved?”Ryder turned in his seat and looked at me. “Baby girl, do you remember the wooden bead Julius found on the ground when we went to Blade’s grave?” he asked.“Yes,” I nodded quickly, the memory coming back clearly. “Yes, I remember it well.”“I saw the same bead on that elderly woman’s wrist just now,” Ryder said, a serious but hopeful smile appearing on his face. “She told me what it means and where it comes from and from everything she said, I believe Lucious and Clara are hiding in that place. I’m going there and I’m going to bring our Gab back home.”Beside me, Mom pressed her hands tightly to her chest, tears already forming in her eyes.“Oh my God… thank the Goddess… I’m so happy!” she cried, letting out a shaky, relieved smile.But as the shock faded, reality hit me hard. It came like a wave I couldn’t stop.The image of my innocent Gab in the hands of monsters flashed through my mind.“I can’t even begi

~ Ryder ~ We moved fast toward the location marked on the map—the place where the first werewolf died. A place most believed was a myth. For months we searched for Lucious in caves, rogue lands, abandoned buildings, and hidden packs. Nothing ever led anywhere. Not once did it cross our minds that he would hide in the open, buried right inside the one place we deemed a myth. "I hope we find Gab and bring him back home," Julius muttered. "I hope so too," I replied. Julius slowed down and scanned our surroundings. “But how are we supposed to find our way? We don’t know the layout of this place. We’re walking blind into unknown territory.” “You forgot we have the map. It shows exactly where the border leads into that territory. Don’t worry.” I placed my hand on his shoulder. “Just stay focused.” The moment I gave the order, we shifted instantly into wolf form and we broke into a full sprint in wolf form. We pushed harder, moving fast through the forest as we followed the exact ro

13 years Later ~ Ryder ~I stood on the balcony, looking out over the pack grounds.For the past thirteen years, Moon Pack had become the biggest and strongest pack in the world. We had expanded our territory, strengthened our warriors, and united several packs under one name.Today, we had achieved another victory.Earlier, we defeated our enemies and claimed their territory, making it part of Moon Pack. Just like Star Pack, which became part of Moon Pack thirteen years ago after we united the two packs.Looking at everything we had built, I should have felt completely satisfied.But I wasn’t because something was still missing.Gab wasn’t home.For thirteen years, Lucious and Clara had remained hidden.The last time we tracked them down, we came dangerously close to catching them. After that, they disappeared without a trace and had not shown themselves again.I knew they were still out there.They were probably waiting for the right moment to make a move. They knew that one mistak

I quickly wiped my tears and walked to the door.My heart was still pounding as I grabbed the handle and pulled the door open.Jason stood there with his arms crossed.“What took you so long to open the door?” he asked suspiciously.“I was crying, idiot,” I muttered.His expression softened for half a second before he stepped past me and looked around my room.“Jason, what are you doing?” I asked.He ignored me and continued scanning the room.“I heard you talking to someone.”My heart nearly stopped.“What?”“I heard voices,” he said. “I was standing outside your door.”“You must be hearing things.” I said as I forced out a laugh.Jason wasn’t convinced.“I know what I heard.”“Well, I wasn’t talking to anyone.”His gaze locked onto mine and for a moment, neither of us spoke.The problem with being a twin was that we knew when one is lying.And Jason knew me better than anyone.“You are a terrible liar,” he said flatly.I rolled my eyes.“And you’re annoying.”“Jasmine,” he said quie

Marcus slowly let go of Ivy and sat back down on the couch. His smile was gone now, and I could see it clearly—he felt hurt.The room felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.Jasmine crossed her arms tightly, her face serious.“I’m not mean,” she said. “You and Sebastine already abandoned me because of Marcus and now Ivy is here, he wants to take her away from me!” Jasmine said again, placing both hands on her waist like she was making a final judgment.For a moment, I just looked at her, confused, because I honestly didn’t understand how Marcus had suddenly become the reason for everything.“That’s not true,” I said quickly. “For days now, you stopped coming out to play with us. So how is that Marcus’s fault?”Jasmine’s eyes widened immediately like she had been waiting for that question.“Yes, I stopped!” she fired back. “Because anytime I wanted to play with you and Sebastine, you both said no and went to play video games with Marcus instead!”I blinked.That actually made sense.“So th
