All Chapters of RECLAIMING HIS REJECTED MATE : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

BROOK'S POVBefore I could fully catch my breath, he spun us and moved."Levi," I gasped, the word catching in my throat as he shoved me forward.I hit the windowsill with a dull thud, the wood biting into my lower abdomen. He bent me over it, forcing my chest down until my breath fogged the glass.My hands scrambled to find the edges of the frame, fingers clenching until my knuckles turned white.His hand came down on my ass with a sharp crack, the sound echoing through the room and sending a jolt of electricity straight to my clit. I cried out, my hips bucking instinctively, but his other hand held me pinned to the sill."This pussy is mine," he growled, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my chest."God, yes," I moaned, pressing my forehead against the cool glass.Levi slammed back into me in one long, savage stroke that buried him to the hilt, and the force of it knocked the air from my lungs.“Fuck!”He set a punishing rhythm immediately, his hips snapping forward with a

LEVI'S POVThe door had barely shut behind us before Theo started speaking; the urgency in his voice immediately put me on edge.“It’s a plague outbreak.”I stopped so abruptly that Theo nearly walked into me.“What the fuck did you just say?”“A plague outbreak. And it’s the first outbreak of its kind in centuries. It started in Gravel End and Black Pike, but it’s spreading fast. They’ve already reported ten casualties already.”“Fuck.”The word left me under my breath, as we started moving again, both of us striding quickly through the corridor now.A plague?By the time we entered my room, irritation and dread were already pounding through my skull. I put my clothes on quickly while Theo continued briefing me from behind.“The council is already gathered for an emergency meeting.”I shoved my arms into a shirt harder than necessary, my mind already racing ahead. Gravel End and Black Pike were poor neighborhoods, already crowded enough on normal days. If something were spreading the

LEVI'S POVThe next few days became an absolute hell.Every single hour brought another report. Another death count. Another healer admitting they still had no idea what they were dealing with.And no matter how many resources I threw at the plague, nothing changed.The royal healers worked around the clock with barely any sleep, but the sickness kept spreading through Gravel End and Black Pike faster than anyone could contain it.Entire streets were being quarantined now. Businesses were shutting down. Families were fleeing infected areas in panic, only to spread the plague further into neighboring districts.Every morning, I woke up to worse numbers, and every night, I went to sleep hearing people scream outside palace gates demanding answers.The public scrutiny only worsened with each passing day. At first, the criticism had been directed at the palace generally. Now it was directed entirely at me.I spent most of my time moving between emergency meetings, plague sites, and clinic

LEVI'S POVThe impact of the trailer slamming into us was violent enough to rattle my bones.One second Brooks was beside me, and the next, the trailer came crashing into the left side of the car with enough force to send us spinning across the road.Theo had partially transformed behind the wheel, forcing his wolf through just enough to reduce the full impact.The entire world tilted violently after the impact, metal screaming around us as the car was thrown off balance and the sound of the crash swallowed everything else.Smoke filled the air almost immediately, burning at my lungs, while a sharp ringing took over my ears and drowned out every other sound.For a second, I couldn’t process anything beyond the chaos.Then my gaze snapped to Brooks.“Brooks.”Her head had slumped against the seat, completely still, and the sight of blood running down her side hit me harder than the crash itself ever could. A sharp, immediate dread tightened in my chest and refused to loosen.I reached

It got worse unbelievably fast.I had only been unconscious for two days, but Levi had barely done anything about the plague during that time. But because he had spent almost every second watching over me instead.The most that happened was the investigation Theo carried out.“We traced the origin of the plague to a poor healer that cured one of black pike’s children that developed severe rashes. A few days later, the child started showing symptoms of the plague.”I frowned immediately. “So the healer caused it?”“We don’t know yet,” Theo answered. “But we tracked her down, and she was already dead when we got there.”Levi rubbed a tired hand over his face, the exhaustion on him looking heavier now that there was no good news left to hold onto. Before either of us could say anything else, faint shouting suddenly drifted in from outside.At first it sounded distant, then it got louder and more voices joined in rapidly until the noise became impossible to ignore.Angry chants echoed be
