All Chapters of The Alpha Who Rejected Me: Chapter 41 - Chapter 46

Chapter 41 Ethan's POV I barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Eleanor's voice. I can't wait to see you. The words followed me through the darkness, repeating until sleep became impossible. By morning, I had already made my decision. I stood outside my father's study, staring at the closed door. For the first time in my life, I wasn't nervous about facing my father. I was afraid of what came after. I knocked. "Come in." I opened the door. Alexander was standing beside his desk, reading through several old documents. He looked up when he saw me. For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then his eyes narrowed slightly. "You've decided." It wasn't a question. I nodded. "I have." He studied my face. "And?" I took a deep breath. "I choose the Alpha position." The room became completely silent. My father slowly put the papers down. "Are you certain?" No. I wasn't. But I couldn't say that. "Yes." He nodded once. "I knew you would make the right decision." The words f

Chapter 43 Eleanor's POV The doors opened, and Dad walked in first. I followed closely behind him, trying my best not to look as nervous as I felt. The meeting was being held deep beneath the building, in a secluded basement that looked nothing like a basement. It was enormous. Elegant. The walls were made of dark stone, decorated with old paintings and symbols I didn't recognize. Soft golden lights hung from the ceiling, reflecting against the polished floor. At the center of the room was a massive round table surrounded by chairs. And people were already sitting there. Elders. Young people. Werewolves, vampires, witches, and other supernaturals whose presence I couldn't quite identify. My senses immediately became overwhelmed. There were so many different scents, heartbeats, voices, and emotions filling the room. Nyla stirred inside my head. Stay calm. I'm trying. Dad walked forward. "Christian Bale." His voice echoed through the room. Several people looked toward us. Dad pl

Chapter 45 Eleanor's POV``` I woke up the next morning with swollen eyes and a headache. For a few seconds, I didn't remember why I felt so terrible. Then everything came rushing back. The meeting. Ethan. The announcement. The mate bond. I stared at the ceiling. I didn't want to get out of bed. I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want to hear his name. Then there was a knock on my door. "Eleanor?" Dad. I didn't answer. He knocked again. "You've been summoned." My heart sank. "Summoned for what?" There was a pause. "The bond." I sat up slowly. My stomach twisted. "No." "Eleanor…" "No." I shook my head. "They can't make me do this." Dad opened the door slightly. "They're not going to force you. But both families have agreed to proceed with the severing." I stared at him. "Today?" He nodded. My chest tightened. "Where?" "The same place as yesterday." I looked away. I couldn't believe this was happening. Yesterday, I had watched everyone announce the decision. Today, I had to exper
