All Chapters of Rejected and Reclaimed (The Alpha’s regret) : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Angela’s heart ached painfully. She couldn't understand why outrage, guilt, and frustration were battering her senses until she realized those emotions weren't hers alone, they were her mate's. He simply didn't know how to express them like a normal human being.At that moment, she wanted no answers except one. She could feel the unbearable agony crushing his heart, yet there was something she knew she shouldn't ask. Trembling, she rested her fingers against his chest. “What happened to your mother?” she asked softly, bracing herself for the explosion. She knew this wound was the deepest one He carried.To her surprise, Gideon didn't lash out. He merely removed her hand and said, “Go from here.”His voice was eerily calm, like the silence before a storm, matching his silver stone-cold eyes.He gestured toward the door, but she refused to move. “You're still trapped in your past, Gideon,” she murmured. “So are you,” He ground out. “Then talk to me. Confide in me. I'm your mate.

Angela breathed slowly in satisfaction as her fingers lazily caressed Gideon’s bare chest. They lay naked beneath the sheets, basking in each other’s warmth after a long session under the shower.Her head rested against his chest while Gideon slowly combed his fingers through her damp hair. They had already skipped dinner, unwilling to leave each other’s side even for a minute. Angela’s heart had finally found peace in his embrace. She shifted closer, hugging him tighter until half her body rested over his.“Gideon…”“Hmm?” He hummed, eyes closed as He leaned against the headboard.“Did your father never like me?”Gideon opened his eyes and looked down at her before drawing a slow breath, pulling her closer with his free arm.“He didn't like that I liked you. He hated how unknowingly captivated I was by you, so he made sure I could never interact with you. You were too young to remember anything, Angela. Only after awakening your powers could you recall those moments through your visi

Angela felt an unsettling sense of déjà vu as she listened to his parents’ story. Gideon hadn’t simply inherited his father’s features, He had inherited the scars of growing up in a loveless home. George Woodbead never loved his own fated mate, and that hollow marriage had poisoned his son’s understanding of love itself. “My father only married her because of the mate bond and my family’s pressure. Rejecting a fated mate could kill an Alpha, and my father was too selfish to let her go.” Gideon’s body stiffened with bitterness. Fragments of the past flashed through his mind, his father’s cold indifference toward his mother, all to please another woman.Angela hesitantly rested her hand on his chest, gently caressing him as if trying to soothe the ache buried beneath his ribs. He caught her hand, laced their fingers together, and pressed them against his pounding heart. His vacant gaze remained fixed on the ceiling while hers never left him. She wanted him to empty every wound into her

Angela was numb, breathing slowly through her nose, not daring to ask another question. He had killed the woman who had brought the greatest misery into his life, stolen his childhood, and shattered his world.His mother's murderer.It brought him well-known notoriety among the royal families and elders. He had killed the Alpha's daughter of one of the most powerful northern packs, forever branding himself as the notorious and dangerous Alpha King.Did it make her fear him? Hate him? Feel uneasy?No. If anything, she felt proud."You did good." She lay back beside him, staring at the ceiling with a heavy heart. Gideon turned toward her, surprise flickering across his face."Did I? You seem unbothered.""Because I am." She met his gaze. "You did the right thing, Gideon. Sometimes it takes a monster to destroy one. You avenged your mother when no one else could. Honestly, your father was a coward." A faint smile curved her lips. "Tell me, you killed her family too. Her pack."She doubte

Angela spotted two guards standing outside the particular prison cell. The muffled whimpers coming from inside told her exactly who was imprisoned there. Nora grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "Angela, don't go in there. Alpha will be furious if he finds out. Damn it, he'll skin me alive for telling you this." Angela gently removed her hand. "I'll handle him. Stay here." She jogged toward the cell, only for the guards to block her path. "Our apologies, Luna, but you cannot enter. Alpha’s orders." Angela rolled her eyes. "Have either of you ever been punched by something you couldn't see?" she asked with a sweet smile. The guards exchanged puzzled glances. Before either could react, Angela snapped both hands. They doubled over with pained groans, clutching their stomachs as she walked past them with regal grace. "Don't try stopping me again." She halted a few steps inside. Her husband's broad back stood before her, casting a dark shadow over the broken figure on the floor. "Ange
