All Chapters of Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~Elvira~ But then, I saw the pride and the peace in her eyes and all my anger vanished instantly. She had exactly what I wanted. She was claimed. Gabriel wouldn't even admit I was his in the daylight. I forced my shoulders to drop. I gave Lisa a tight nod to show I wouldn't fight him, but my inner wolf was still pacing and snarling. I looked Kelvin in the eye. I did it without blinking, I used the mind-link to shove my thoughts directly into his mind. ‘If you ever break her heart, or make her feel like she’s just something you own, I will tear you apart myself.’ Kelvin’s eyes widened in shock at the strength of my mental voice. He offered a slow, serious nod. He pulled Lisa closer to his side, his hand rubbing her hip in a way that told me he wasn't going anywhere. Suddenly, a loud, booming horn blasted from the front driveway, echoing through the halls and making the glass windows rattle. The dining hall erupted into chaos.

~Elvira ~ She hit his arm playfully, a huge grin was on her face, It was clear they knew each other well. I felt that familiar coldness creep back into my limbs. Everyone here seemed to have a history, a place, a person. And then there was me. I watched the blonde guy. There was something different about him. He had Alpha blood running through his veins; I could feel the weight of his presence even from here. He wasn't a leader yet, but he was close. “Told you I’d beat you guys to the race,” Talia said, her voice sounding high and flirtatious. I rolled my eyes. The way she threw herself at every powerful male in sight was starting to get old, Her younger sister was already busy, too, chatting up one of the other guys. Her hand was resting on the arm of the younger brown-haired guy—Neolla’s mate. I winced. I was glad Neolla had already gone inside. Seeing another woman touching her mate, even if it was just a friendly greeting, would have probably caused

~Elvira~ I didn't stay to see the dessert. I gave a quick, fake excuse about a headache and practically sprinted out of the dining hall. Back in my room, the silence was worse than the noise of the feast. I threw myself onto the bed, but sleep was far from my eyes Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Vanessa’s voice, She’s a maid! It wasn't just the term maid that was bad, it was the way she had spat it out, like I was something she had stepped in on the sidewalk and saying it in front of the whole pack present? and the trainees? It was a bad blow to my pride. I rolled over, staring at the dark ceiling. When the first bit of real light hit the floor the next morning, I was already up. I showered and got ready, today was the first day of warrior training. It was the only thing I had left to hold onto. If I couldn't be his mate in the eyes of the pack, I would at least be a warrior and earn a decent income. I pulled on my gear, black leggings that hugged

~Elvira~ Delta Mason didn't just want us to be warriors, he wanted us to be machines and by the time the sun finally dipped below the tree line and he barked the word dismissed, I felt like my bones had been turned into stone. Every step back to the pack house was a battle. My thighs burned, my shoulders felt like they were being pulled out of their sockets, and even the simple act of breathing felt heavy. Once I finally made it inside my room I just stumbled into the bathroom and cranked the shower to the hottest setting it could go The steam filled the space, I stripped off my sweat-soaked gear, letting the black leggings and vest fall in a heap on the floor, then stepped under the spray and let out a long, shaky moan. The water was almost too hot, stinging my skin, but it was exactly what I needed. My mind kept drifting back to the field, I had felt Gabriel’s eyes on me throughout the day. He tried to act like he was just checking on the progress of all the teams

~Elvira~It has been a month since that confrontation with Gabriel in his room. A month since I cried on his pillow, and since then, I have immersed myself in training. I concentrated on my sole purpose of being in Silverblade. Everything had died down since then. When I returned to the training field, no one had asked me anything; we all just continued like nothing happened. Four people from my team have been eliminated, leaving us with only forty-six trainees remaining.Gabriel had announced that we have entered the second phase of the training, and we need to give our very best. It was no longer just about long runs, jogs, or fighting and flying at dummies. We are now to be practicing with our fellow trainees.I stood in the mirror of my shower, thinking back to my progress. I hardly saw Neolla, Aria, or Lisa anymore. It was just Selene that I met up with some evenings to practice my witch powers. Even she was always looking tired and fatigued. She mentioned that Gabriel and the
