All Chapters of Rejected, Then Claimed. The Alpha's Echo Luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kate’s P.O.V. My heart stuttered like it forgot how to breathe properly. Luna Kate Kessler! That name kicked out everything else from my mind, wrapping something soft and dangerous around me. Warmth spread through my chest before I could stop it. And I hated that! No matter how angry I was a few minutes ago, that one line… It weakened me. Osiris didn’t look away. His hand was still firm in my waist, his presence overwhelming. “I had spent two months alone after marking you,” he continued, his voice low but steady. “This whole pack is mine. I was surrounded by temptations. But…” His eyes locked onto mine. “But I didn’t touch anyone, Kate.” My breath hitched. “Why would I do it now,” he added, his thumb brushing against my waist, “when I have you?” My grip on his collar loosened a little, the anger, and fear edged inside me softening. There was no hesitation in his voice, only certainty. And for the first time since morning, I felt a strange, undeniable attract

Kate’s P.O.V. Well, a lot of things were still waiting for me after dinner! The moment Lauren gave me a list of responsibilities long enough to ruin my sanity, a realization hit me hard. “I will not get a chance to sleep tonight.” So, I stayed up, planning breakfast, arranging schedules, and most importantly, searching for the new staff as the old one had their loyalty pledged to Kayla. The challenge behind these difficulties motivated me to push harder, just like my mean attending was the reason I learned quickly to deal with the patients. To handle this servants’ crisis, I contacted the elders of the omega community. Lauren said dubiously as she stood beside me. “Luna, are you sure about this?” I gazed at the elders’ experienced faces and replied calmly. “Yeah, I am sure, Lauren. I need reliable people who can stay by my side.” One of the elders leaned closer to the screen. “You want young omegas?” “But they won’t be as efficient as wolves.” Another added bluntly. “T

Kate’s P.O.V. Gina’s words stayed with me long after she left. It was so strange! How could a single conversation tilt your whole perspective? According to Gina, every relationship had rules, patterns, and rhythm. And if you learned that rhythm, things would flow smoothly. However, I wasn’t completely convinced! Some of her ‘methods’ sounded a little too strategic for my liking. But still, I couldn’t deny one thing: I was in an unfamiliar territory. And desperate times required some... flexibility. A soft sigh left my lips as I pushed myself off the bed. “Focus, Kate. Dinner first. Tricks later.” Tying my hair in a loose knot, I headed toward the kitchen to check the preparations. But the moment I stepped inside, only silence greeted me. That place was empty! My brows knotted together. “That’s odd.” I had clearly instructed the staff, so where was everyone? Utterly perplexed, I turned on my heels and stepped back into the corridor. Two maids were sweeping the fl

Kate’s P.O.V.My heart hammered violently as I stared into the darkness beyond the pond.That howl…It didn’t sound friendly.Before I could even react, movements flickered between the trees all of a sudden. Several wolves burst out from the forest alongside a few men dressed in black. I sucked in a breath as my body stiffened immediately, sensing danger.But to my surprise, no one attacked.No one even approached us.The men moved swiftly and efficiently, as if performing a rehearsed mission. Within minutes, a long table was arranged near the pond, lantern-like fairy lights glowing warmly around the clearing while fresh flowers decorated the setup beautifully.Everyone disappeared back into the darkness just as quickly as they had appeared.I blinked with incredulity.What?Had I imagined that entire thing?Utterly flabbergasted, I turned to my side.“Osiris, did you see th…”The rest of the words died down in my head as my side was empty; that magnificent wolf was gone too.My pul

Kate’s P.O.V.My question made him pause for a second.Then…“No,” Osiris said simply, trailing kisses down my jaw. “I can’t hold back that long.”A shiver went down my spine as he lifted me up and got us against the tree trunk. My entire being was so hot and completely enveloped in his warmth that I didn’t even give it a second thought.His warm hand left a slow trail of fire up my leg as he wrapped it around his waist for support. The clothes felt really unnecessary at that moment, making me burn for more as he ran his fingers up my side, lightly trailing the side of my breast before resting his hand around my throat. Osiris’s lips crashed on mine, engulfing me in a deep kiss as he slightly tightened his grip, not enough for me to feel dominated, but just enough for me to really feel him, feel his presence and control.The kiss, the burning touches, the grip. It was overwhelming for me; I couldn’t help the small moans that escaped me through the kisses.“I want to see you, Kate.” O
