《Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Rival 》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 49 章

Ethan’s POVI was more than a little irritated about the Pasquale Pack interruption, and the moment I was done dealing with the fallout alongside Max, I took the bouquet of flowers from the maid who had been waiting with them, straightened the suit I had taken care to pick out for today, and headed out the door with the flowers in hand. “I’ll go and find Sophia myself. No need to follow.”Even though Sophia had told me she would be pretty tied up over the next few days with the jewelry exhibition and wouldn’t have much room for dates, I couldn’t stand the idea of going that many days without seeing her.Not wanting to cause any trouble for her by showing up unannounced through the front, I used Jax’s ability to move quietly through the woods behind the pack and slip past the guards without anyone noticing.If I remembered right, Sophia had mentioned her room was on the second floor. I tilted my head up toward the balconies above, trying to figure out which window was hers.You look li

SophiaEthan walked over to me holding a glass of red wine and thoughtfully handed me one he had already picked up for me.“Alpha Ethan…” Marcus greeted him through clenched teeth and gave a stiff, reluctant salute.I slipped my arm through Ethan’s, having no desire to spend another second engaged with either of those two. “Ethan, I have the dessert menu — come and take a look.”I steered him toward the dining area, and his mood lifted just slightly once we were away from them. “So is everything sorted? No more problems?” he asked, his voice carrying a trace of confusion.“Everything’s fine, but what I ended up doing to fix things might catch you off guard a little.” I sighed, thinking back to what I had used to replace the centerpiece.“Catch me off guard?”“You’ll see soon enough.” I gave him a small wink and Ethan smiled, letting it go without pushing further.By now nearly all the guests had arrived and the exhibition was about to get underway, so I excused myself from Ethan for a

Marcus’s POV“Please, Marcus! You have to listen to me!”“There is absolutely nothing to explain!”I stood on the outside of the cell, the iron bars the only thing between me and the red-haired woman huddled inside. Even with tear stains streaking down her face, she was still as beautiful as she had always been. There was a time when seeing her like this would have made me pull her straight into my arms without hesitation — but that time was gone. It would never come back. Never once in my life had I entertained the thought that the woman I had shared everything with, my fated mate, was actually a witch living right under my nose.“Marcus! Marcus, listen to me — I’m half werewolf! I’m not just a witch!”“How is it possible for the Luna of Nightfall Pack to be an impure werewolf?! You’ve humiliated me in front of everyone! Do you have any idea what you’ve cost me?!”Lila’s wailing kept tearing through my head, and my thoughts kept pulling me back to the room full of Alphas and the look

His soft tongue swirled slowly across the tip of my nipple and I bit down hard on the moan that tried to escape. I could already feel how wet he was making me with barely any effort at all, and instinctively my legs pressed together — an action that did absolutely nothing to ease the desperate, aching throb between them.Ethan noticed immediately. His hand shot down to my thigh and he forced my legs back apart without any hesitation, leaving my most intimate place completely exposed to the cool air, my pussy dripping and throbbing and aching for him to fill it.He sucked my nipple deeper into his mouth and grazed it gently with his teeth while the hand still resting on my thigh began its slow, torturous journey upward — and then, very slowly and very deliberately, he dragged two fingers along the full length of my slit before settling directly on top of my clit. I felt him smirk against my chest as he pressed down with firm, insistent pressure, and the jolt of pleasure that tore throu

SophiaAfter letting him mark me the night before, I had fallen asleep fully expecting to wake up still wrapped in Ethan’s arms — to open my eyes and find those steady, warm eyes already looking back at me.But when I woke up, the sheets beside me were cold. He had been gone for a while. I got up and went looking for him through the pack house and came up empty. It was only after I stopped one of the maids that I found out Ethan had left early that morning in a hurry with Max.It was a little puzzling, but I told myself it was probably something urgent and left it at that. Ethan’s mother was in the studio as usual, working on a painting, so I spent the morning with her without pushing the matter further.Before I knew it, noon had come and gone and Ethan still hadn’t come back. I had lunch with his mother, then got myself ready to head to the jewelry store with a new design I had been working on.One of the pack’s familiar servants drove me over, and on the way I couldn’t shake the fe
