Chapter Six

Nora woke to the smell of rain, sandalwood, and freshly brewed coffee.

She blinked against the morning light filtering through the heavy drapes. The bed felt empty, but the sheets were still warm. She brought a hand to her neck. The skin there was tender, throbbing with a dull, heavy ache, but it wasn’t the cold, hollow pain of rejection. It was a brand. Deluca’s mark.

Her wolf purred in her chest, a sound she hadn't felt in five years.

  • Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King   A Dangerous Game

    Chapter 87Isabelle watched as a frantic River was dragged away, and she gulped.She had seen how cruel Deluca could be to the people who dared to cross him, and she couldn't help but wonder if he would do the same to her once he found out what she had done.Deluca, whose head was filled with Nora, who was still unconscious, turned and started to head back to his chambers without looking at Isabelle."Deluca!" Isabelle, feeling slighted and ignored, called out to him.Deluca paused and turned to look at her. "Is there something you want?" he asked, as he went straight to the point.He and Nora had argued because of Isabelle, and even though he didn't believe that she was a bad person, he still couldn't help but be pissed."Well, I....about that woman..." Isabelle had no idea how she was supposed to ask about the mob that attacked Nora without giving herself away, and so she asked about River."You don't need to mind the words that she said. She is a troublemaker, and I will make sure

  • Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King   The Deception Exposed

    Chapter 86"The Alpha has ordered that she be thrown into the dungeon for starting rumors about the Alpha's kids not being his," one of the guards glanced at Isabelle and responded to her."Is that so?" Isabelle responded slowly as her mind started to work.If Deluca was arresting River for starting the rumors, it meant that he didn't know that she had anything to do with it, right?However, that didn't solve all of her problems. What if he was still able to figure out that the mob attack was somehow connected to her?What would she do then?River's eyes had widened when she heard that Deluca wanted to arrest her for spreading rumors."What rumors did I spread?! I didn't have anything to do with this!" River cried out, feeling wronged.She really wasn't the one who started the rumors!She was not stupid; Deluca's threats had really scared her. Why would she expose it when she knew that he would come after her?For the past few days, as she wandered the pack, she had heard people talkin

  • Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King   Unexpected Power

    Chapter 85Nora's heart skipped a beat when she saw the man with a knife approaching her.However, instead of fear, she felt a rush of adrenaline.Deluca lurched at the man, wanting to stop him, but Nora raised her hand instinctively just then, and the man was flung meters away, his body hitting the tarred ground with a loud thud.All eyes turned to Nora as soon as this happened! It was obvious that she was the one who did this!"Nora!" Deluca called out, with his eyes wide.He had seen her raise her hand, and the man was flung away.His heart skipped a beat, as Katherine's words came back to him.Katherine had said that Nora was more than just a weak werewolf.Just who exactly was Nora?Nora looked at her hands, shocked at what she had just done.For some reason, what just happened didn't feel strange to her, as if she had been doing this her entire life.She turned to Deluca, with confusion written all over her face."I ..."As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a sharp pain in h

  • Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King   Alpha's Protection

    Chapter 84The driver was standing in front of Nora, trying to protect her from the mob that was closing in on her and the kids.The car was already surrounded by some other people, and they could not get in."Get that woman and her kids out here! Ever since she came here, there hasn't been any peace in the pack! She dared to pass off someone else's kids as our alpha's kids! The alpha even made her son his heir! She is a sinner, and she and her kids need to die!"Nora's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.They had just wanted to chase her from the pack when they first surrounded her, but now they wanted her and the kids dead!Nora was very scared; she wondered if these people had come here on their own or if someone had put them up to this because they wanted to get rid of her!"Please step back; she is the alpha's woman! If anything happens to her, you are all going to pay the price!" the driver warned the crowd."We don't care! We just want this woman out of here right now!""Y

    Chapter 83It was so obvious what she was trying to do, but it was as if Deluca could not see it.He was supposed to be smarter than that; why couldn't he see that Isabelle was no longer the person he was friends with in the past?"There she is! Get her!" Nora was still lost in her thoughts when she heard that booming voice.Raising her head, she saw an angry crowd of people approaching them.Her heart sank into her stomach, as she had a bad feeling about this."Those are the kids... she dared to deceive our Alpha and pass off someone else's kids as his! Let's get her and chase her and her bastards out of our pack!" someone from the crowd spoke up.Nora dragged her kids to herself immediately as she looked around, trying to see if she could escape from the angry crowd.The driver who had brought her to the school got down from the car and hurried over to her side, ready to protect her.But it was just one person. There was no way he could fight them all off.Nora's heart sank as she st

  • Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King   Defending the Truth

    Chapter 82The maid’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.This was what she was most afraid of. If Carl was going to get punished, then she was the one who would bear the consequences; the alpha and Luna of her pack would blame her for this, and it would be a miracle if she were able to keep her life."Well, Luna, there's no need for us to make a big deal out of this. They are kids, anyway, and I am sure that they were just playing around. Let's not cause a scene... I will talk to Carl from now on and make sure that he doesn't say things like this again," the maid was sweating from fear now.She wanted to slap herself so much. It wasn't her business if Nora's kids were the alpha's or not!Why did she have to get involved in this?The teacher, seeing the situation, tried to step in."Luna, this was a mistake; we will make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. We...""How exactly are you going to make sure that this doesn't happen? My kids are the children of the alph
