บททั้งหมดของ The Silver Alpha's Rejected Mate : บทที่ 141 - บทที่ 150

SELENE I pushed Orion out of the bed when I woke up, but I felt lighter than usual, almost happy. He seemed to feel it too. Earlier that morning, when he had landed on the floor with a groan, I couldn’t help smirking.He stood up, his gaze scanning me, but I didn’t flinch or let my sleeping face betray anything. I stayed still, emotionless, though inside, my heart was racing. Slowly, I spread my legs on the bed, remembering that today was a free day, and a small thrill ran through me.Then a soft hand brushed through my curls, shaking them gently. Sparks ran through my skin, and I froze. A warm, shallow breath tickled my ear.“We’re wolves. I can hear your heart. Today, we’re the ones going to the supermarket,” he whispered.He pulled back and walked out, closing the door softly behind him. My heart thumped hard. This bond feeling was strange, new, and I didn’t know how to handle it. I turned on my bed and bit my lip, smiling quietly to myself.Looking at the ceiling, I felt braver,

SELENESilence stayed with me on the drive home, thick and unmoving. The quiet followed inside as the bags were dropped on the counter, one by one. No words came when Elara and Silas were pressed together in the kitchen. They pulled apart fast, faces flushed, apologizing at once, asking what was wrong. My head shook without thought. Stairs carried me away before they could say more.Upstairs felt colder. Clothes slipped off slowly, like my body was unsure. Steam filled the bathroom as hot water touched my skin. Muscles loosened, but my mind did not. It drifted back to Alpha Orion and his confusing story, every tangled detail replaying itself. A short laugh escaped before I could stop it. Jealousy. The word sat ugly and sharp in my chest.Time passed without notice. When I stepped out, towel wrapped tight, breaths came softer. Hair was cleaned, fingers running through it as I stood there. The thought returned again, uninvited. Would he leave tonight too, the way he did last time. The i

SELENE It was done.Eyes opened slowly. A small tremor ran through my body as the bed dipped beneath me. Breath stalled when I realized my face was pressed into a head of tight curls. Warm. Solid. Real.“Welcome back, seductress and Luna.”A quiet sound escaped before I could stop it. Shhh.“I’m going to do this mission and go,” she said, copying my voice from earlier. The memory came back too clearly. An eye roll followed, slow and tired.Shut it.Arms tightened around me, strong and sure. The hold made it harder to think, easier to stay right there.“I want time with my twin.” A nod came without thought, like she could feel it. My mind wandered anyway, circling last night. Broken images. Heat. Softness. Too many gaps.“Hey, baby.”Everything stopped.That voice again. Deep. Husky. It slid under my skin too easily. My throat tightened as the word settled. Baby. Was that allowed now?The memory of yesterday answered for him. The way he stayed close. The way he washed me with care, li

SELENEWhen we returned to the house, it felt wrong to relax. The air had shifted, heavy in a way I could not name. A sense of waiting pressed against my skin.The seer we had spoken to earlier was there again.He sat cross-legged on the stairs, hands resting loosely on his knees, as if he had always been part of the house. His presence silenced us without effort. Whatever laughter followed us inside died out fast. One by one, heads turned toward him. The guards noticed too, but only briefly. They glanced over, then returned to their posts like this was expected.“Ah,” he said, smiling in that strange way of his. “You are connected.”Alpha Orion’s hand tightened around mine. It was instinctive. Protective. The reflex almost made me pull away before I stopped myself.“And how would you know that?” Ash asked, his voice sharp with doubt.The seer laughed, light and unbothered.“Everyone knows. Your strength has risen too quickly to stay hidden. You are no longer subtle.”His gaze linger

SELENEAsh and Jett did not return early the day before, and by nightfall everyone assumed they had found something important. That belief should have calmed me, but it did not. I went to bed beside Orion with a tight feeling deep inside my chest. Something felt wrong. No one said anything, yet the silence felt heavy.Orion held me close, firm and warm, pressing soft kisses to my forehead now and then. Each time I noticed, I forced my eyes shut, trying to fall asleep faster. He was trying hard to calm me, to pull me under. We had trained hard in Blackroot Forest at noon, and I knew I had done well. My body felt tired in the right way. Still, the unease stayed.Sleep never held. I kept waking, reaching for Orion in the dark just to feel him there. His arm, his chest, the steady proof that he was alive and beside me. I did not understand why I needed to check so often, only that I did.I tried to sink inward, to reach my wolf, but she felt distant. Quiet. Too quiet. My breathing turned
