All Chapters of The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

SeraThe moment his words leave his mouth, I tip over as a hollow laugh tears out my throat. My hand covers my face as I step back on instinct, putting space between us again. “Of course," I mutter, bitterness creeping into my dry chuckles. “There it is. There is the truth you find so hard to blurt out." Aeron's tightened brows loosened. “Sera–”"No,” I cut in sharply, my voice rising just a little as I shake my head. "No need to try to explain. You can just say it as it is. Go on. Finish your words.”His expression hardened a little, resolve settling into his features. He hesitates for a moment, before finally saying, “without you, my position as Alpha is… going to be compromised.”He says the words exactly how I expected him to. They land cold, precise and calculated. Like he had been rehearsing them before coming here. "Right,” I mutter, nodding slowly as a bitter smile tugged at my lips. “So… that's basically what I am to you now. Some pawn in your stupid little game?”"Sera,”

But as I get close, something about it feels… off. Murmurs come from within, incomprehensible like a quiet chaos. That didn't seem like the elders. Had they started meeting already?Brows furrowing, I push the doors open and walk in. E

We all stare at the entrance, as if expecting her to walk back in at any moment. Knowing Helena, I knew it would only be a matter of time. Refusing to dwell on it, I straightened slightly in my seat and turned to the elders. “Let's all focus please," I say, my voice calm yet edged with command. “We have more pressing matters than her anger." I let the silence linger for a second as I knew my next words would only stir the elders up. “Kellan," I say after the pause, my gaze moving across the council. “How is he?" A few elders stiffen at the mere mention of his name and others exchange brief looks. I can tell they aren't expecting me to mention him since his judgement is to be decided tomorrow. “Kellan is still being held in the dungeon," one of them says carefully as he leans forward. “As the bas
