Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Aurelia’s POV In the darkness, I could hear it; the sound of metal clanking, which reverberated in my skull. The pain was searing, and I wanted to end it already. And that was when my eyes snapped open. I found myself lying on the cold floor; the sound of metal clanking could still be heard. I sat up on found Rune seated on the floor with his hands cuffed with a chain as he watched Solana slam the iron bars with her cuffs, the familiar sound of metal clanking echoing through the room. “What happened?” I asked, my head pounding like a hammer against an anvil. Maybe it was because of Solana’s ruthlessness with the iron bars that held us captive. “They got to us,” Rune replied as Solana stopped. “They used wolfsbane on us so we couldn't use our powers to escape. It's safe to say that we are going to be here for a while.” I sighed and stared at my hands. I should have seen that coming. There was only one way to neutralize our powers, and that was wolfsbane. They had done a great de

Rune’s POV It was too late. We were about to die. Maybe I had been too stubborn when Solana had first asked for help. And now it was going to haunt us. We were going to get taken down like animals. And this was my fault. Aurelia shouldn't even be here in the first place. It should have just been me and Solana. But her stubbornness had driven her towards an end she didn't deserve. Solana and I deserved this. We were meant to pay for the crime we committed ten years ago. But Aurelia was innocent, and now she was going to die for a cause that wasn't related to her. “What do we do now?” Aurelia asked, her voice trembling in fear. I knew she was scared not for herself, but for Asher. If she didn't make it out, he was going to fall into Kael’s hands, which would be terrible. That was when I realized the burning feeling in my stomach the whole time. It was the feeling to protect what was mine. She was mine, my mate. And I was going to make sure that her life didn't end here. She was me

Aurelia’s POV I could feel the tension in the air. The blade kissed Tamara’s throat. It was just one adjustment from cutting her throat clean, but she didn't look intimidated by it. Her hazel eyes were fixed on Solana, burning with rage, and the mascara lining across her eyes gave her a venomous look on her face. This was Tamara: dangerous, relentless, and fearless. I knew that she wouldn't back down. She would rather die for her cause than go back to being with Solana, and that scared me. In as much as I hated the ruckus she had caused, I didn't want her to die. Solana wouldn't hesitate to kill her after what she had done. Solana was ruthless. It was her nature. “Go ahead. Do it,” Tamara dared through her clenched teeth. My heart pounded hard against my chest as I stared at Solana. Her eyes narrowed, and her grip on the blade grew tighter. I could see the rage in her eyes. She wasn't going to think twice about this. And Tamara was adding more fuel to the fire. It was only a m

Rune’s POV Thirteen Years ago. I saw it. It was standing there, oblivious to my moment in the bushes. But that didn't matter to me. It was my prey, and it was my ticket to finally being acknowledged. This was my opportunity, and I was going to let it escape my sight. The deer gazed towards the bushes where I hid, and I paused abruptly, my grip on the dagger in my hand obstructed by the dampness of my palms. I could feel my heart pounding as I watched the deer, tentatively wondering if he had seen me yet. My answer came when the deer turned back to the water and continued drinking. I heaved a sigh of relief and moved once more through the bushes as I searched for a perfect spot to attack it. It couldn't get away. Not this time. The morning sun stood high in the sky, and the whistling of the birds filled the air. Both my upper arms were matted in sweat, and so was my forehead, but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was get this deer. The deer drank quietly from the stream as

Aurelia’s POV “That's the story of Rune,” Solana said as she dumped Tamara into a cage. “Or at least what he told me.” That was the most traumatic story I heard. It was probably even worse than mine. I had lost both parents, but Kael had taken me in and showered me with love, making me feel like I belonged once more. I had still grieved my parents, but at least my heart was in the right place when I had done so. But Rune. He had to work for the people who had killed his mom. And I was almost certain that they had done something to his father. Doing all of that at such a young age must have been tough for him. And worse of all, he never once showed that he had been through all that trauma. He held himself high and worked diligently, protecting Asher and me because he didn't want what happened to his family to befall us. But still, there was a lot about the story that wasn't adding up. The Celestial Trinity was the strongest pack ever known to date. So how had they been afraid o
