All Chapters of The Alpha's Rejection : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Karen's POV After the dance, I got a call, I stood up from the table. "Excuse me," I said before walking away from the celebration. The music slowly faded as I moved farther into a quieter part of the pack grounds. I glanced at the screen it was an unknown number. I frowned, but still answered. "Hello?" At first, there was only silence. Then a faint, broken voice came through. It was unclear. “What?” I frowned immediately. “I can’t hear you.” The line kept cutting. My body went still. This didn’t feel right. “Hello? Who is this?” I asked again, more alert now. A cold feeling crept up my spine. I took a careful step back, ready to return to the main hall. But before I could, I could see a shadow of someone move behind me. I barely had time to turn. A sharp iron arrow was stuck in the left side of my chest. Pain exploded instantly. “Ah—!” My vision blurred immediately, the phone slipping from my hand and crashing to the ground. I stumbled, try

Zaiden's POV I opened the door and noticed he didn't lock it, which I was happy about. I then pulled off the robe and went to where he lay. He lay uncomfortably. I knew what had happened. I had given him an aphrodisiac, and I guess he was already reacting to it. Now, he would have no choice but to give in. I walked seductively toward him, trailing my fingers lightly down his chest. His breathing was uneven, and his jaw was clenched as though he was fighting an internal battle. "Zaiden," I whispered softly. His eyes opened and locked onto mine. I sat beside him on the bed and slowly cupped his cheek, my thumb brushing against his skin. His gaze dropped briefly to my lips before returning to my eyes. "Karen..." he said, my name sounding more like a warning than anything else. He thought I was Karen? Nice. I totally forgot I was wearing her lingerie. Instead of answering, I leaned closer until there was barely any space left between us. I pressed a gentle kiss to hi

**Two months later** Karen's POVI woke up to a strange ceiling.For a few seconds, I simply stared at it.Everything felt foggy.My chest hurt.Even breathing felt uncomfortable.I blinked slowly, trying to gather my thoughts.The memory made me gasp.Immediately, pain shot through my chest and stomach.I winced and instinctively placed a hand over the bandages wrapped around my body.I was alive, the room was quiet.I slowly turned my head, taking in my surroundings.Medicine bottles sat on a nearby table.Fresh bandages.Flowers.A chair positioned beside the bed.As if someone had been sitting there.A sudden commotion sounded outside the room.Then the door burst open.My eyes widened.Zaiden stood in the doorway.For a moment, neither of us moved.I almost didn't recognize him.His hair was longer than usual.Messy.His clothes were wrinkled.There were dark circles beneath his eyes.His eyes themselves were red and puffy as though he hadn't slept properly in a very long time.

Zaiden POV I was so afraid to tell her I didn't know what her reaction would be but I needed to she was my mate and she is supposed to be aware it could be a mistake but not telling her was the height of it all. "I want to take you somewhere," I said. "Where?" she asked, her brows furrowing in confusion. "You'll know when we get there." "Zaiden," she called softly. "Yes, baby?" I replied without taking my eyes off the road. "What's happening? You're scaring me." "You shouldn't be," I said briefly. Reaching for her hand, I intertwined our fingers and gave them a reassuring squeeze. "Just trust me." She fell silent, though I could still feel her curiosity growing with every passing minute. The journey continued until the familiar path leading to the Priestess's sanctuary came into view. Karen noticed the change in scenery immediately. Her eyes widened. "Zaiden..." she whispered. I finally turned to look at her. "This is the road to the priestess place if I

Zaiden's POV The next morning, I left for work without seeing Karen. Part of me wanted to find her before I left. But another part of me knew she needed space. Even if that space was killing me. The drive to the company felt longer than usual. My mind was filled with her. The tears in her eyes. The way she stepped away from me. The way she said she didn't want my help. By the time I arrived, I already felt exhausted. And the day had barely started. "Good morning, sir." I barely acknowledged my secretary as I walked into my office. A pile of documents sat on my desk. Normally, I would have gone through them immediately. Today, I couldn't even focus on the first page. The words blurred together. After staring at the same paragraph for ten minutes, I realized I hadn't absorbed a single thing. "Damn it." I tossed the file onto the desk. A knock sounded. "Sir, the board members are waiting." I closed my eyes. I had completely forgotten. Five minutes later, I was s
