Semua Bab Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Ainsley stood in front of the couch, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular, yet his mind was consumed by thoughts of Eloise. Why does she always make me feel this way? His heart twisted with frustration. The very idea of her, trembling, submissive, and fearful, made his blood boil.Suddenly, the soft, almost imperceptible sound of footsteps reached his ears. Ainsley’s senses sharpened, instinctively recognizing her presence. His sharp wolf senses could pick up her scent; hear the quiet shift of her movements, even the slight hesitation in her steps.Eloise.He turned to face her, his heart thudding in his chest as he saw the hesitant look in her eyes. His anger flared, and he couldn't hide it. Why is she always so uncertain? He thought bitterly. Why does she never stand tall?"Stop right there. Where are you going?" Ainsley’s voice was harsh, filled with a command that left no room for disobedience.Eloise stood frozen, her eyes wide with caution. "I’m going to work, Alpha Williams,

Rachael walked briskly, her footsteps echoing as she moved quickly through the hallways of the Scarlet Heart Club. Her heels clicked against the marble tiles, a sound that resonated with authority and purpose. Her face was set in an expression of anger, her jaw clenched tightly as she navigated the club with determination. Each step was filled with purpose as her body language radiated a sense of urgency.Flora, you’ve really done it this time, Rachael thought to herself, her mind already racing ahead to the confrontation she was about to have. What were you thinking, sending Eloise to Oliver’s room?As she neared the Public Relations Department, Rachael's fury only grew. The staff, who were working quietly at their desks, immediately sensed her presence and grew still, their nervous glances following her every move. They had seen Rachael in many moods, but this one was different. The fear was palpable in the air, and the staff instinctively stepped aside as Rachael walked past them,

Elijah's brow furrowed as he absorbed Rachael's words. His heart pounded in his chest, not from surprise, but from frustration. He didn’t agree with her, not one bit. Rachael had only recently joined the Litha Night Walker Pack, while Elijah had been steadfastly by Ainsley’s side for years, serving as his protector and confidant. There was a bond between them that ran deep, one Rachael could never understand.In Elijah’s mind, Alex’s sister, Aura, was the love of Ainsley’s life.“There are things you don’t know,” Elijah snapped, his voice edged with irritation. “Don’t speak of what you don’t understand.”Rachael’s lips curved into a subtle, knowing smile. She found Elijah’s conviction almost laughable. He thinks he knows it all. That he has everything figured out. How wrong is he?“Call her,” Elijah commanded abruptly, his finger pointing at the photo of Mavis on the desk, his voice stern.Rachael’s expression hardened as she stared at the photo, her distaste for Mavis seeping through

Ainsley’s eyes narrowed, and in his mind, a sharp thought cut through the tense silence: Do as I say? Is this truly you, Eloise Anthony? I don’t think so.He didn’t say it out loud, but his gaze alone was enough to pierce through her, a forceful reminder that Ainsley Williams never let anything go unnoticed. His arm rested on the armrest of the couch, his fingers gently caressing his chin as he watched her. The dim light cast shadows over his face, hiding the emotions he was battling to suppress.Eloise sat across from him, her heart pounding in her chest. The silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating. Time seemed to crawl, and with every second, she felt more exposed under his unyielding gaze. She glanced up at him, only to meet the coldness in his eyes, and each time, her heart trembled. Why am I here? Is this really worth it? Her thoughts raced, but she couldn't find the strength to look away.Minutes passed, and the unease began to gnaw at her. Ainsley never blinked, n

Ainsley stood over Eloise’s unconscious form, his eyes scanning her prone body. His mind was in turmoil, but his focus was sharp. He didn’t break the mental link. His gaze was locked on Eloise as she lay motionless on the bed.He moved closer, his hands trembling with a mixture of frustration and confusion. He pushed her aside gently and, with a steady breath, lifted her shirt.As her shirt slowly moved upward, his eyes fell on her waist.What he saw stopped him cold.A gruesome, jagged scar marred the skin on her left side. Ainsley’s pupils constricted, his heart thundering painfully in his chest. The breath caught in his throat.Our mate... Adrian’s voice was pained, distant. I can’t feel her... not properly. The words cut through Ainsley’s mind like ice. There was only the faintest breath, the shallow pulse beneath her skin, and that was all that marked her as his mate.“Who did this?” Ainsley’s voice was icy, his tone as cold as a blizzard, his words sharp with the promise of wrat
