All Chapters of The Alpha King's Rejected Mate : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

KAELMate.The word burned as soon as it formed. Fate had a twisted sense of humor, and this felt like its cruelest work yet.A man like me being bound to a woman like her did not feel earned. It felt wrong. Like something fragile had been handed to a monster and called balance. The pull had been instant, violent in its certainty. The second my eyes found her, the world narrowed. That night, the Solar Peak Pack had meant nothing to me. Too quiet. Too ordinary. I crossed into their land without pause, chasing the pull like it owned me.And there she was.Too small for a man my size. Red curls falling everywhere, a mess that refused order. At first, it looked like careless fingers had ruined her hair. Watching longer told the truth. Her hair did not submit to anyone. It lived by its own rules.She drank fast. Faster than expected. Glass after glass disappeared, and I stayed hidden, watching her from the dark, studying every movement. This was the woman fate chose?The question pressed

LIORAKael was innocent. That truth sat heavy in my chest, steady and unmovable. He had not killed anyone. Not last night. Not this morning. Not in the hours before I walked out of his home and into the cold air.There had been no room for murder. No gap in time. I had been there the whole night, caught in my own body while he played with every nerve like he owned them. Heat. Tension. Loss of control. Hours slipping past without shape. Whatever else Kael was, he hadn’t been a killer during that stretch of time.Still, the pack believed otherwise.Everyone was certain the Night Alpha had murdered the Solar Peak Pack Alpha. They spoke the words like they had watched it happen. Like the truth had already settled and hardened. I knew better, yet I couldn’t say it. Couldn’t open my mouth and tear myself apart in front of them.“We can’t let him live. He’s the devil himself,” someone shouted.The words burned. Kael was pushed back in my thoughts, locked behind a door I couldn’t afford to op

LIORAWhat Kael had suggested did not belong in any love story. Love was not something I was ready to touch, let alone believe in. That detail did not matter. Walking this path would end in damage. I could see that much clearly. Still, the pull toward him felt new and sharp, and I could not ignore it. No one had ever drawn me in like this. Curiosity outweighed caution.The answer settled quietly in my chest.“I have to go, Elira,” I said, stopping her mid-thought. She would survive without my attention. A quick wave followed, then I turned and hurried home.My apartment felt even smaller than usual. Tight walls. Too much stuff. A cramped space that reminded me of everything it was not. Kael’s place came to mind without permission. Clean lines. Space to breathe.Clothes were pulled from the closet and dropped on the floor. Nothing felt right. Nothing even came close to what Vireya had worn earlier. That was not the goal anyway. I did not want to be her. Just different from myself. Jus

LIORAHe caught me and eased me back onto the bed. A shiver slid down my spine as the thought of what was coming settled in. His body was hard against mine, so hard there was a dark mark on his sweatpants. This was it. That had to be it.The expectation sat heavy in my chest. He would strip, press me down, and take what we both wanted. Instead, he dropped to his knees, and the change stole my breath. Both hands slipped under my thighs, drawing me closer until my hips rested at the edge of the mattress. Warm palms moved slowly up my legs, then pushed them apart as he stepped between them.Heat rushed to my face at how open I was. When my knees tried to close, he stopped me, lifting my legs and settling them over his shoulders. There was no hiding anymore.“What are you doing?” The words barely made it out.No answer came. His mouth brushed the side of my thigh, soft and slow. Kisses followed, climbing higher, broken by gentle bites that sent sparks racing through me. My body fell back

LIORAThis was my sign to leave. Coming here had been a mistake from the start. Turning around felt like the only smart choice.Steps barely carried me toward the exit before a hand closed around my arm from behind. The body stiffened as I spun, ready to see Kael standing there. Instead, one of the men in suits filled my view. He was huge. Broad shoulders. Thick arms. Built like a wall. It seemed size was a requirement for joining the Obsidian Night Pack.“Come with me,” he said, already guiding me away from the doors.Panic rose fast when the elevator came into sight. “No, wait,” the words rushed out as I pulled free of his grip. He had not been holding tight. “This is a mistake. I think I’m in the wrong place. I’ll just leave.”“Miss Donne, this way, please.”The world froze.He knew my name.“Mr. Bancroft will be with you shortly.”Eyes cut toward Kael. His focus was back on his pack, like I was not standing there at all. A sharp ache followed.Another attempt slipped out. “I coul
