Semua Bab Rejected and Reclaimed (The Alpha’s regret) : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Gideon nodded stiffly. His eyes met the Alpha Jacob’s whom He met occasionally at Royal council meetings. “And I suppose you knew everything from the beginning.” His sharp gaze pinned Alpha Jacob, who sighed and looked away toward Orion, who now seated Axel beside Zamini who caressed his pale face. “Yes, I did. But it wasn’t my place to reveal anything. The time wasn’t right. We planned to tell you the truth about her identity after Angela turned eighteen, but before that… everything collapsed. We had to wait until she reached the stage we needed her to be in.” “You could have told me after Angela escaped,” Gideon growled, barely containing his rage because of Axel’s presence. He wanted to slaughter them all for hiding his family from him. But now that He had them back, no one would dare restrain him again. “And risk Angela’s life again?” Orion shot back, stepping forward. “First of all, nobody knew she was your fated mate because you never told anyone. And secondly, you wo

“what…are you?” Daniela asked in disbelief and shock as she rose to her feet. Her sister had the powers? Her aura, blazing eyes, her powerful scent and the way fury radiating her body was not something a human could emit. They have reckoned her human for years. Or was it an illusion? Angela stood over her like a storm incarnate, blood slowly trickling from the claw marks on her neck, but she cared less. “I will pluck your filthy eyes out if you ever dare to look at my child with your ugly gaze.”Daniela clenched her jaws. She was not a fool not to guess. But she was still not getting the fact that her stupid naive sister got her crux at this age, at the wrong time and something more powerful than her which endangered her possible marriage now. No, Daniela Clampitt wouldn't let her win this time. The maid behind her gasped in fear and receded seeing Angela’s look. Angela shot her a sharp glare before turning away and marching

Angela searched his silver stone eyes, trying to read the intention buried behind his words. He wanted her back as his wife? Didn’t He already have a fiancée?Yet she found nothing in that rigid gaze except a hollow, practiced void. How foolish of her to forget. Gideon Woodbead had perfected the art of concealing his emotions long ago. So this was it. Her fate, once again sealed with him by the Moon Goddess.“Is that truly what you want?” she asked, her voice slow and careful.He nodded without hesitation. Angela knew his mind never moved in straight lines. It twisted through shadows. Twisted and dark.“What other orders must I obey in this role?” she asked, her tone turning professional, guarded. If she was to remain in this pack with her child, she needed clarity. This place would not be merciful to her. She had to be prepared for every ugly challenge waiting ahead.Gideon hummed softly, his fingers grazing her neck where the wounds were still raw. She hissed faintly, and He paused

“Speak,” Gideon growled squeezing her throat to the extent of strangling her. “She..she hurt me too, Gideon..” Daniela was thinking of fabricating some story when Gideon interrupted her. “Did you…” He clutched her neck, painfully to the extent of knocking her down as He asked again, “…hurt her, you filthy mutt?” Wrath asked in a thundering voice, suppressing Gideon and growled with a slaying gaze at her, making her terrified to the core. Daniela’s eyes widened in horror as tears welled up in them. “I..am sorry, King. Please forgive me, I won’t do it again. I was just trying to defend myself….” She was hardly talking when He leaned down until his breath fanned her face, his grip tightening just enough to make her vision blur. “The next time I see you touching my mate with a malicious intention, let alone hurting her, I will strangle you to death, do you understand?” He barked and she nodded hurriedly, squeezing her eyes as pain shot through her nerves from her neck to her back. F

Nora lowered the flame and wiped her hands on her apron, speaking as though even the walls might overhear.“Alpha had totally changed after you escaped, Angela. We expected the wrath out of him like killing his victims as He usually does but that morning after you escaped, He just left the packdom and returned after two days.” Angela blinked at her in shock and confusion. Gideon left his pack! Why? Was He gone to look after me? “He stopped talking. Stopped attending gatherings. Stopped sleeping in his room. Most nights, he wandered into the forest and didn’t return until dawn. Everyone thought he was furious. That he hated you for what happened. He kept his silence patiently even when the royal elders pointed a finger at your disloyalty and demanded for your extinction.” Angela’s fingers curled tightly against her knees. She didn't know the people hate her that much here when she didn't even do anything. “He sent warriors out to search for you
