Lahat ng Kabanata ng Broken By My Alpha Mate: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Rachel's POV At Crestwood Pack Hospital, I lay in the VIP ward, caught in the suffocating paralysis of a nightmare.I was dreaming of my childhood, a time before I knew what it truly meant to be a rogue wolf.The heavy door to the hospital ward creaked open, disrupting the air currents, but my mind was too heavy to wake. I hadn't slept a single wink all night, my senses entirely overwhelmed by the lingering stench of Elena's cells, and I had only drifted off when morning broke.In the depths of the dream, I saw myself as a pup. A Beta couple from a local pack had come to adopt me. But not long after taking me into their territory, the female fell pregnant with a natural-born heir. The moment they had a pup of their own blood, my presence became an insult to their lineage. They rejected me, stripped me of their scent, and threw me back to the orphanage like a piece of stray meat.I hadn't been abandoned just once.I had been discarded so many times I had lost count.My biological pare

Rachel's POVElena looked remarkably pale, her perfectly manicured claws twitching. She clearly didn't want to lower her head to a rogue, but she forced herself to speak, her voice trembling in a flawlessly rehearsed performance. "Rachel... I'm really sorry. Hurting you wasn't what I meant to do. I never imagined Aaron would succumb to his feral instincts and take it that far."Her eyes turned a glassy, vulnerable red as she bared her throat in a faux show of submission. "I was just overwhelmed with jealousy. I couldn't handle the agonizing thought that in the four years I was gone across the sea, you and Daniel..."She deliberately chose that exact moment to drag our private past into the light, exposing our four-year relationship right in front of the hospital monitors.Daniel visibly panicked, his scent spiking with alarm. "Elena,"Elena looked up at him through a veil of tears, her manipulation masterfully executed. "I'm sorry, Daniel. I knew about your history with Rachel, but I

Rachel's POV "If you're not comfortable with sharing a bed, or if your wolf rejects my scent, I'll agree to clinical conception. Either way, before my grandfather passes to the great beyond, I want him to see the next generation of the Blackwood bloodline," Silas said as a matter-of-fact.There was no warmth, no passion, no mating-bond pull in his tone. He wasn't talking about a fated love; he was just laying out the terms of a treaty.Silas valued my talent and my resilient spirit. That was why he was negotiating marriage with me as if it were a pack merger. In Silas's world, everything had a price tag, even the continuation of his bloodline.But as I looked at him, I realized I preferred this. Silas wasn't like Daniel. What he wanted was straightforward, a deal with clear, unyielding boundaries. That kind of honesty didn't leave room for false expectations. And without expectations, there'd be no emotional fallout. No heartbreak.But Daniel, when he first brought me into his pack,

Rachel's POV I coughed lightly, my throat still a bit raspy from the silver fumes, and looked at Kenneth. "Mr. David, does Alpha Blackwood just have so much pack wealth that he doesn't know what to do with it?""Ms. Brown, this agreement is simply to outline the strategic obligations between the two of you. Everything else will follow the customs of a high-ranking pack marriage. If the Alpha were to take a Luna without a treaty, his mate would be entitled to just as much, maybe even more, under Lycan law in a separation," David replied with a polite, reassuring smile. He was clearly trying to ease the tension in my posture. "There is no need to feel burdened."I took a deep, steadying breath. Honestly, my wolf was scratching at my palms, itching to shift enough to claw my signature onto the paper. I was terrified that if I hesitated too long, the illusion would shatter and I’d wake up back in the Vance pack cells."This territory, this house. They are all mine?" I asked again, my voi

Rachel's POV Layla’s hands froze over the silver tray. She looked nervous, her eyes darting toward the hallway before she quickly tried to smooth over her expression."No, Luna, she's not blood-related. Ms. Pedro's mother used to be Mr. Blackwood's private tutor and mentor when he was navigating his early Alpha awakenings. She passed away a while back and left Ms. Pedro behind. Poor girl, she's basically grown up under Mr. Blackwood's direct protection."I nodded slowly. Layla's words sounded perfectly reasonable, but my instincts, the sharp, perceptive traits of a wolf who had survived by reading between the lines, told me there was more to the story.After all, what high-ranking Alpha takes in rogue tutor’s child and treats her like royalty for no reason?Could it be that Ms. Pedro's late mother was Silas's first love? The wolf he wanted to mark before pack politics got in the way?"Layla," I leaned in slightly, keeping my voice soft and non-threatening. "Do you know why Mr. Black
