All Chapters of Rejected As a Failure, Claimed By Two Rival Alphas : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kyle’s eyes widened. This was the first time he had ever met someone from that place; the lab. Whenever that word crossed his mind, a wave of instinctual fear would wash over him. At this moment, a flurry of doubts filled his heart. How was she here, and why was she here? Suddenly, a stern voice interrupted his thoughts that were becoming too chaotic. "Mara, I know you have just returned from your break and have many things to share with your friends, so much so that you haven't even noticed me standing at the front of the class. However, it can wait." Dr. Evelyn, who had entered the classroom at some point, looked at them with a stern expression. "I am sorry, Ma'am," Mara apologized smoothly. Without waiting for Kyle's permission, she naturally pulled out the chair and sat down right next to him. "Mind if I sit here?" she whispered. Dr. Evelyn tapped the podium and announced to the room, "Very well, everyone. Since Mara has returned, she will be paired with Kyle for this botan

"What the hell is going on?!" Hugo’s voice vibrated with a raw, terrifying edge. He looked ready to tear the hospital apart with his bare hands if it meant getting an answer.Logan quickly stepped forward, placing a firm hand on his friend's shoulder, tryingtocalm him down. "Calm down, Hugo. Listen to me carefully," Logan said as calmly as possible. If Hugo's ailment was triggered here, or if he goes rampant here. Twenty security guards won't be able to stop him. They would drop dead in the blink of an eye. He really loved his job, and didn't want his hospital to close down. "Physically, his heart is beating again, but mentally, he is still trapped. This is the residual effect of the Traumatic Oneiric Coma. His consciousness is hovering in a liminal space. To him, the nightmare felt terrifyingly real, and right now, his brain can't differentiate between the laboratory and this hospital ward. That’s why he has a blank stare. He is looking at us, but he is seeing his torturers."Hugo’

The executive suite on the top floor of Adler Enterprise was usually a sterile sanctuary of high-stakes corporate decisions, but today, a soft, deliberate warmth permeated the air.Kyle sat near the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. His soft bangs fell forward, shielding his eyes as he carefully pieced together another jigsaw puzzle of a classical botanical garden. His shoulders were drawn inward as he poured every ounce of his focus into matching the delicate green stems on the pieces. Yet, a prickle of self-consciousness kept his hands slightly tense. He was very aware of Devon sitting just across from him. He felt the weight of his own heartbeat. Across the room, Devon sat behind his dark polished mahogany desk. Officially, he was reviewing quarterly financial dispatches, but his eyes kept wandering over the top of his tablet. Every few moments, he would steal a glance at Kyle. Watching Kyle focus so intently on his puzzle, his small lips parted in quiet concentration, gave Devon a

For a second, the living room fell into a deathly stillness. The atmosphere became warped as Devon’s aura turned ice-cold."No," he said flatly.The blatant refusal left his mother stunned. The air in the room seemed to freeze solid for a moment.Before…Whack!Suddenly, the sound of wood striking flesh shattered the tense atmosphere."You unfilial brat!" Grandma Park roared, wielding her walking cane with a surprising agility as she brought it down squarely across Devon's shoulders. "What do you mean by 'no'? How dare you use such a tone to talk back to your own mother?!"Ironically, this sudden outburst of violence actually caused the suffocating pressure in the room to dissipate."Grandma!" Devon groaned. He didn't dare to dodge the old woman's strike out of respect, but he swiftly brought his arms up to shield his face from any blows."Don't you 'Grandma' me!" she huffed.Devon immediately bolted from his seat, moving at lightning speed to take refuge behind his younger siblings. H

Kyle stopped dead in his tracks.He turned to Mara sharply, his wife eyes hollowed out with gut wrenching horror."W... what did you just say?" Kyle’s voice came out strangled in a fragile whisper. "Trackers...? How... they put trackers i.."His hands had begun to shake violently. He clutched at the straps of his backpack, his knuckles turning stark white as his chest heaved. The distant clatter of lockers, the footsteps of passing students, the dull hum of air conditioning vanished entirely. "Whoa, whoa! Hey! I'm joking, silly!" Mara burst out, letting out an airy, breathless laugh as she lightly tapped his shoulder. "I can't believe you actually took that seriously! Look at your face, you look like you've seen a ghost!"Kyle remained frozen, his body stiff, his breath hitched tightly in his throat. "I watched this crazy sci-fi conspiracy movie over the weekend about rogue human trackers," Mara explained hurriedly. "When you vanished for a whole week without answering your texts or
