Semua Bab Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King: Bab 21 - Bab 29

Chapter 21Nora had never seen Deluca look so unhinged. He was usually cold. Furious. Even punishing. But never to this point. He looked insane, like the only thing keeping him from burning the northern palace down was Nora. Nora who was currently holding his arm, pleading with him to calm down. “Deluca!” She tried to get past his fury. “Stop. Please. It’s over. You have me now.”“He put his hands on you,” he ground his jaw, eyes blazing. “I should kill him.”Behind Nora, she saw Kashton scrambling up to his feet. Maeve shrieked, going over to help him. She noticed the slightest way in which he stiffened, as if her touch repulsed him. But surely, that was impossible. There was no way Maeve could ever repulse him. He had cast Nora aside, all for Maeve’s sake.Nora stared at the pair of them now, feeling nothing but contempt. “You should leave. Both of you. You’re not welcome here.”She have no idea why Kashton would risk it and come here. Was it to flaunt his Luna in her face? Or did

Chapter 23Deluca led Nora back into the ball. But not before making sure that she wasn’t going to lose it. “I’m fine,” she told him. “Thanks for staying with me. Now, let’s go mingle with your guests.”But he didn’t lead her into the hall just yet. He called Gebros, made sure that Kashton and Maeve had already left the property. Only then did he help her up to my feet. He tucked her hand around his elbow and returned them to the party.The moment they were back, guests surrounded them. They all wanted an audience with the alpha. A contract that needed his approval. A meeting that needed to be held at the latest. Deluca handled them all efficiently, saying all the right things, while keeping a firm eye on Nora. Seeing Kashton hold her earlier was making Deluca more paranoid than Nora was used to.He refused to let go of her, holding her protectively. Everyone that stepped forward to speak to Nora was vetted by the alpha first. It was mostly the she-wolves who approached. Rich, overpri

Chapter 25Deluca was not joking when he said that we would be taking fifteen guards with us. I thought that he had exaggerated the number but I was so damn wrong. When I stepped out of the pack house with him, a total of fifteen bodyguards were already waiting for us outside. As soon as Deluca and I appeared in front of them, they bowed their heads in a subservient manner And then, they all got into the cars that were already prepared. They were more than ten cars, and the one we were about to enter was in the middle. I looked at Deluca, biting my lips with some reluctance, was there really a need for us to be so careful? Deluca took my hand as he led me towards the car. One of the guards opened the door for us, and when I entered, I saw that there were two more bodyguards inside the car. One of them was acting as the driver, and the other one was seated firmly in the front seat. They both had stoic looks on their faces and when Deluca and I climbed into the car, they greeted

Chapter 27"Nora? Answer me."Deluca gripped the phone so tightly that the screen began to spiderweb under the pressure of his thumb. The silence on the other end was echoing, save for that one sharp, metallic slide of a bolt. It was a sound he knew well. It was the sound of a cell door."Nora!" he barked, his voice causing the Beta standing near the door to jump. "If this is a joke, it is not funny. Talk to me.""Deluca..." Her voice was a fragile thread, barely audible. "They're here. They said you... they said the Council has the right.""Who is here? Where is Fabian?" Deluca’s heart hammered a frantic rhythm against his ribs."He’s not answering. They said there was an incident at the south gate. Deluca, they're taking me to the low levels. Please, don't let them—"A loud thud followed. The sound of the phone hitting a stone floor. Then, a voice that definitely didn't belong to Nora. It was cold, deep, and devoid of any emotion."Alpha. The Luna is in the custody of the High Counci

Chapter 29Nora was curled up in a corner of the bed, as she whimpered softly. Her dress was already back on, but for some reason, she still felt empty and exposed. She hated herself more than anything, what the heck was wrong with her? She loved Deluca....she knew that she loved him with all of her heart...so why was her wolf still rejecting him? Were they going to be like this forever?Deluca, who had been a bit disappointed when Nora pushed him away and called for him to stop, paused when he saw the way Nora was whimpering. He knew that she was sadder than him about this,and so his heart could not help but go out to her ."Please don't feel sad about this, Nora, it's not your fault," Deluca said in a bid to comfort her. Nora looked up at the man who was now properly dressed , she could not believe that this was the man who had come so close to having his way with her. Even though he was disappointed, he did not show it at all. Nora's heart felt heavy, and she was choking up wi
