All Chapters of Rejected My Alpha Mate For His Rogue Uncle: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Allene It was finally the day of the preliminaries. The air was thick with tension, the scent of burning rubber, oil, and nerves mixing in the bright sunlight. Wolves from every corner of the territory were here, their eyes alert, ready to watch the show. Leonard’s men were immediately at the forefront, circling my rogues like predators. Their smirks were cruel, their jabs calculated. “Look at these ragged little wannabes,” one of them sneered, crossing his arms. “Do they even know how to ride? Or are they just here to make a fool of themselves?” Another chimed in, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Seriously… do you even belong on this track? How Pathetic.” I could see the heat rising in my team. Their hands curled into fists, teeth grinding, their tails flicking with barely contained anger. “Don’t… don’t give them the satisfaction!” I called out, stepping closer to them, my voice firm and sharp. “Control yourselves! They want you to lose your temper! He wants you to fight and

Allene “You piece of shit,” I snapped. “Don’t you dare look down on the rogues. You think way too much of yourself.” He scoffed, lips curling. “But I’m right, aren’t I?” That was when an idea slid neatly into my head. So he wanted to play savior, and mock us.. Fine then. Then he would pay like one. I let my anger drain from my face, replaced it with something calm. Agreeable. I nodded slowly, like I was conceding. “You all heard that, right?” I said aloud, turning slightly so everyone around could hear. “Leonard said he would take care of all the expenses.” His eyes widened. “Well, I—” “You wouldn’t go back on your words, right?” I cut in sweetly. There was a pause. There were way too many eyes on him now. Too many witnesses. If he went back on his words, he would become a complete joke. And I knew just how much he valued his reputation, I scoffed inwardly. I’ll make you eat your own words. “Of course not,” he said stiffly. “Good.” I smiled. “Then let’s go.” I started

Allene He didn’t say anything. He didn’t look back. He just turned and left, his footsteps fading as if nothing had happened. As if I hadn’t felt my heart crack open at that moment. I stood there long after he was gone. The ache settled deep in my chest, heavy and unrelenting. It followed me for the rest of the day. Everything was dull. The food had no taste, voices sounded distant. I moved through my duties like a shadow, present but not really there. By the time evening came, I couldn’t stay in my room anymore. I walked through the pack grounds aimlessly, hoping the fresh air would help. Hoping the movement would quiet the storm inside me. The trees swayed gently. The paths were familiar but none of it eased the hurt. My thoughts kept circling back to him. To the way he left. I was so deep in thought that I didn’t notice the footsteps behind me. Suddenly, arms wrapped around me from behind. I smiled to myself, already guessing who it had to be. “Draven,” I said softly, turni

Draven She wasn’t just beautiful. She was so ethereal that I could spend the rest of my life staring at just her and her alone and not get tired. Her laughter still lingered from the stupid game, her eyes bright, her cheeks warm from smiling too much. I watched her more than the lanterns. The lights reflected in her eyes, softening her features, making her look unreal, like she didn’t quite belong to this world. And for a moment, I forgot everything. The pressure. The anger. The doubts clawing at my chest. She turned suddenly and caught me staring. “What?” she asked, amused. “Nothing,” I said quickly. She didn’t believe me. I knew that look. She stepped closer, tilting her head slightly. “You’re lying.” I sighed and reached out, brushing my thumb along her cheek before I could stop myself. “You’re distracting.” She smiled. Slow. Knowing. “If you say so.” I felt something twist painfully in my chest. I didn’t deserve how easily she smiled at me. How easily she stood beside m

Draven She didn’t answer me. Instead, her eyes fluttered, her body swayed, and suddenly she went limp. “Allene!” I caught her just in time, her weight collapsing into my arms like she had no strength left at all. Her skin felt cold. Too cold. Her scent was off, faint and wrong, and panic exploded in my chest. “No—no, no, no,” I muttered, gripping her tighter. “Don’t you dare.” I didn’t think. I shifted immediately, cradling her against me as best as I could as fur tore through skin again. The pain meant nothing. Nothing mattered except getting her help. I ran faster than I ever had. Branches snapped beneath my paws, the ground shaking as I tore through the forest toward the pack. Her heartbeat was there, faint but steady, and I locked onto it like it was the only sound in the world. Please. Just stay with me. By the time the pack came into view, I was shaking. I shifted back at the healer’s tent, barely steady on my feet as I burst inside. “Help her!” I shouted, my voice c
