บททั้งหมดของ His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

The tires of the midnight-blue sports car screeched violently as it tore through the winding, fog-heavy mountain roads leading into Norwood Green. Inside the vehicle, Katherine Brown gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white, her long, manicured nails digging deep into the expensive leather wrap.She was completely manic. Her breathing was fast and shallow, and the suffocating, artificial scent of her rose perfume filled the locked cabin of the car.For the past twenty-four hours, her perfect world had been unraveling. First, her secret contacts inside the Alonso Global headquarters had warned her that Marcus, the Supreme Alpha’s personal financial executioner, had launched a total forensic audit on her foundation accounts. Then, Duncan had completely vanished from the city, leaving his security detail behind and ignoring every single one of her frantic phone calls.She knew exactly where he had gone. He had gone back to her. He had gone back to that wretched, lo

The silence that followed Henry Alonso’s whisper was suffocating. The former Supreme Alpha stood completely frozen, his old, battle-hardened hands shaking as he stared at four-year-old Zach.Elder Logan broke the spell, letting out a loud, mocking scoff. "The Mark of the First Alpha? Henry, have you lost your mind in your old age? That is nothing but an old bedtime story told to pups in the nursery. It’s a myth!""It is not a myth," Henry rasped, his voice dead serious as he finally tore his eyes away from the boy to look at the council members. "Look at the pattern under his skin. Look at the triple-crown symbol. My grandfather saw it once in the ancient scrolls. It only appears when the bloodline reaches a level of pure, absolute dominance that hasn't been seen in five hundred years.""A birthmark can be faked, Henry," Elder Logan argued, stepping forward, his eyes narrowing greedily as he looked at Zach and Heidi. "A rogue pack can use dark magic or chemical stains to mutate a pup'

Inside, the room was completely dark. Duncan did not turn on the lamps. He stood by the cold fireplace, his large frame perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the wooden door.The sound of footsteps on the gravel outside broke the heavy silence.The door unlocked with a soft click. Remus stepped into the room, his black tactical jacket dark and dripping with moisture from the thick mist. He closed the door quickly behind him, locking it before turning to face his Alpha. Under his arm, Remus clutched a thick, yellow manila folder. It was sealed across the center with bright red tamper-evident tape, stamped with the official seal of the Alonso Private Medical Center.Remus did not stand at his usual relaxed stance. His shoulders were stiff, and his face was completely drained of color. For a loyal Beta, carrying this specific folder felt like carrying a live bomb."Alpha," Remus said, his voice barely louder than a whisper."Is it done?" Duncan asked. His voice did not carry its usual deep,

Duncan’s question hung heavily in the room, freezing the very breath in the space. “Xavier, how does it feel to sleep in your Alpha’s bed?” The silence that followed was thick and suffocating. Katherine sat completely paralyzed, her hands gripping the edge of the table so hard her nails threatened to snap. Xavier’s face went through a rapid series of expressions, shock, terror, and then, a dark, twisted realization. The Veritas Reserve wine was burning like liquid fire in his veins, melting away his ability to lie, stripping him of his filters, and forcing his inner wolf to face the ultimate truth.Duncan did not move. He remained leaned over the table, his dead, hollow silver-grey eyes locked onto his cousin brother, waiting for the confession.Xavier gripped his throat as if he could choke back the words, but the ancient compulsion of the truth wine was too strong. His jaw trembled, and when he finally spoke, his voice did not carry a single shred of apology. Instead, it came out a

The sound of Katherine’s mad, screeching laughter had barely faded from the ruined dining hall before Amora was already moving.Her heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird. The blood in her veins turned to absolute ice. She didn't look at the shattered table, the pools of spilled wine, or the broken body of Xavier lying in the fireplace. Her mind completely locked onto one terrifying image: her four-year-old twins, Zach and Heidi, trapped in the path of a ruthless assassin."Zach... Heidi..." Amora whispered, her voice cracking with a pure, breathless terror.Duncan didn't hesitate. Despite the deep, bleeding claw gashes tearing across his bare chest, the Supreme Alpha moved with explosive speed. He grabbed his black suit jacket from the floor and threw it on, his silver-grey eyes burning with a wild, lethal light."Oscar! Remus! Move!" Duncan roared, his voice laced with an undeniable Alpha command that shook the dust from the ceiling. "We are going to Main Street right
