All Chapters of Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

KaelThe ride back to the pack house was silent.I sat rigidly in the backseat, my jaw locked tight. The anger that had been simmering inside me ever since I stepped into that club refused to fade.Beside me, Lyra sat unusually still.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught her staring at me. The moment she realized I had noticed, she immediately turned her head toward the window as if the passing darkness outside had suddenly become the most fascinating thing in the world.Her fingers drummed nervously against her thigh like someone waiting to be sentenced, and frankly… she should be because she was in trouble.I stared ahead, my expression cold.To think she had actually gone to a club with Ronan.A club.The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. And then, when I called her, she had actually hung up on me.If I hadn't started making calls...If I hadn't arrived exactly when I did...I didn't even want to think about what could have happened.The image of those men surrounding

LyraThe warmth of the morning sun brushed against my face, making me squint before I was fully awake.I frowned slightly and shifted beneath the covers, trying to escape the annoying ray of light that had somehow found its way directly into my eyes.When that didn't work, I slowly opened my eyes. For several seconds, I simply stared at the ceiling.My brows furrowed.Wait... This wasn't my room.The realization immediately chased away the remnants of sleep from my eyes. I blinked and slowly sat up, my gaze sweeping across the spacious bedroom.Before I could think further, the intense memories from last night came rushing back. Every single one of them."Oh..."I squeezed my eyes shut for a second. Right. I remembered now… Kael and I…My cheeks suddenly felt warm and my face hot. I quickly turned to the other side of the bed and found it empty.The sheets were rumpled, evidence that Kael had slept right beside me.My blush deepened. I couldn't help it. The memories kept replaying in m

KaelI didn’t slow my steps as I angrily made my way straight toward the pack’s holding cells. The only thing I registered was Craig already standing by the entrance of the cell block, waiting for me.“Where is Ronan?” I asked immediately.Craig didn’t hesitate and began leading the way without a word.I followed him. As we passed through the corridors, Lyra’s voice drifted through my mind.Everything she said earlier just kept replaying over and over again. To think she forgot about her own safety for one single, damn second and stood in front of me, trying to defend Ronan.Unbelievable.The worst part was that I had actually woken up in a good mood.For a brief, stupid moment this morning, I had been… happy. Satisfied. Almost at peace, and I just wanted to spend the morning with her, but because of one careless, foolish person, everything went fucking south.Craig finally stopped in front of

LyraI sighed for what felt like the hundredth time today. Maybe even the thousandth.I really missed training.The thought kept circling back no matter how hard I tried to push it away, like a thorn stuck under the skin. Ever since Kael stopped my training, my days had started to feel strangely incomplete. At first, I thought it would pass—that maybe I’d get used to it. But I hadn’t. If anything, the longer it went on, the worse it became.I missed the movement. The discipline. The burn in my muscles after pushing myself too far. I even missed the way Ronan used to correct my stance with that quiet, unreadable expression of his, like he was trying not to show too much emotion even when he clearly cared about the outcome.Even Ronan… I hadn’t seen him since that incident. I tried calling and texting him, but got no answer. Not even a single delivered response.I had even secretly gone back to the spot where we used to train, thinking I’d probably find him there to be sure he was okay

LyraThe scenery changed again.My breath caught when I saw dark, thick, terrifying mist surrounding the couple, wrapping around them and coiling around their throats.They both struggled, their faces twisted in agony, but the mist tightened and continued to strangle them, trapping and pulling them down.My heart jolted violently.“No! Stop!” I tried to shout, but no sound came out. “Help them! They’re going to die!”The couple fought desperately for breath, but the dark, cruel mist continued tightening around them mercilessly.Raw, overwhelming fear consumed me.Why wasn't anyone helping them?Why wasn't anyone stopping this?“No… no, please…” My voice cracked inside my own mind. “Someone help!”The sight was unbearable.The woman had just given away her child. The man had sacrificed everything to protect his family. And now they were dying.No! No! No!Someone had to save them.The voice.The voice!"Help them!" I cried out. "Please help them!"I didn't even know these people. Yet w
