All Chapters of Rejected As a Failure, Claimed By Two Rival Alphas : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“He doesn't,” Devon chipped in. He looked at Kyle in concern as he weighed the worn-out backpack in his hand. “Is this the only thing you brought? Are these the only things you have?”Kyle nodded his head quickly, keeping his eyes on the floor.“We'll fix that. It is not a problem at all,” Hugo said, his voice full of warmth. “We’ve stuffed the house with everything you can think of. Come on, let's get you inside.” He gently took hold of his left hand, and Devon carefully held the other hand. They walked into the building together. Hugo placed his finger in the electronic scanner and the gate opened with a click, then they entered inside.When they reached the main front door of the apartment, Hugo stopped and looked down at the boy. “We have to register your print now, Kyle, since this is your house.”“M… mine?” Kyle asked, his large eyes widening in confusion.“Yes, it's yours,” Hugo murmured with a soft smile. He lifted Kyle’s thin hand and gently pressed his finger onto the d

Kyle was standing right at the top of the stairs, in front of his bedroom door completely frozen.He did not know whether to retreat into his room or move forward, especially after hearing Logan's exclamation. Seeing him hesitate, Devon quickly climbed up the staircase and went to get him. Kyle was dressed in the soft blue silk nightwear they had given him, because he was so thin, the trousers were a little too long and the loose sleeves completely covered his palms. He looked incredibly delicate, like a beautiful piece of porcelain that may break at any moment. Devon held his arms, and gently led him down the staircase.“What do you mean, what did we do? Do we look like monsters to you?” Hugo said in a very annoyed voice, glaring at the doctor.“Then what on earth happened to him?” Logan snapped back, pointing his finger at the boy. “He has not even stayed for a full day with the both of you, and he is already this hurt! What would happen to him if he stays with you longer?”Hugo

Kyle stared at Hugo for a long time, his large, dark eyes blinking slowly before he finally gave a small nod. “O… okay.”Devon offered a warm smile, his tense posture finally relaxing. “Now, it's time to prepare for school. You can pick any outfit from the closet, they are all yours.”“Let me show you how to use the shower faucet first,” Hugo said gently, taking Kyle by his hand and leading him toward the bathroom.Devon stayed behind in the bedroom. Knowing Kyle’s timid nature, Devon knew very well that the boy would not dare to touch or wear any of the new clothes unless they were given to him personally.So, he went over to the closet and searched through the hangers. He brought out a long-sleeved, pastel-blue sweater made of the softest material, along with a pair of loose, thick beige trousers. He chose these because he knew that Kyle would be uncomfortable wearing any short-sleeved clothes that would reveal the scars on his body. Devon neatly placed the fresh clothes on the ed

The bright, shiny floor of the luxury mall suddenly felt like a trap, and Kyle stood completely frozen as his breath caught painfully in his throat. A few yards away, a group of university students were laughing and walking, and right in the middle of them stood Noah. Seeing Noah hit Kyle like a physical blow, causing the air to leave his lungs while his chest tightened so much that he could not take a single breath. His eyes grew wide with fear and his body became as stiff as stone, because all the terrible memories came rushing back at once. He remembered the dark, dusty attic, the heavy locks, and the cruel words, knowing that if Noah saw him here with all these expensive things, the punishment would be terrible.But before the panic could completely take over, a big, warm body moved next to him. Hugo moved very fast, wrapping his big arm around Kyle’s shaking shoulders without a word and pulling the small, weak boy behind a large marble pillar. He covered Kyle’s pale face with

Back in Kyle’s apartment, the quiet room was swallowed by the deep, motionless dark of late night. Beside the wide bed, Devon sat in absolute silence beside Kyle’s bed, his shadow stretching across the polished floor. His dark eyes were fixed entirely on the small, buried figure beneath the heavy duvet. He wanted to reach out and pull him close, but he resisted. Kyle was so fragile, so thoroughly shattered by years of cruelty, that even the gentlest touch felt like an intrusion Devon wasn't sure he had the right to make. He resolved to watch him all night if he had to.Step by quiet step, Devon moved around the mattress, leaning down to tuck the corner of the heavy blanket securely over Kyle’s narrow shoulders. But as he drew back, a sharp, ragged breath broke the stillness.Kyle’s head shifted uncomfortably against the pillow. A cold sweat glistened along his pale forehead, his small hand clutching the sheet in a tight, white-knuckled grip. His jaw worked soundlessly, faint, broken w
