《Rejected by the Alpha》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

There were few things in this world that irritated me. There were also a few things that unsettled me but nothing ever made me lose control.But Roslyn, she was slowly becoming one of those things making me lose control.I stood by the tall window in my study, staring out into the field. Flashback of when I rejected Roslyn as my mate in front of everyone. She was never up to where I stood and I derived joy from watching her beg.On the field, wolves moved in formation.The sound of steel clashing against steel echoed through the air.That should have held my attention, but it didn’t.My mind had been elsewhere for days now. On her. I hated that she was one of those things occupying my mind.I sold her because she was worthless. Now, she seemed to have some kind of value.Roslyn.My jaw tightened at the thought.I didn’t like it. I didn't like how often her name crossed my mind.I didn’t like how easily I could recall the look in her eyes the last time I saw her.She was broken, but

The days after the training felt… strange.I could still feel it, the way my body had moved during the fight, the way my instincts had taken over, the way I could sense his every attack, the way I had won.It didn’t feel real. I wasn’t the strongest.I knew that. I had never been.And yet, amidst all these, I was able to take down someone stronger than me.The thought replayed in my mind more times than I can count.It wasn't that I felt proud about what I had accomplished. I was confused and there was a bit of fear.For once, Luciano hadn’t called for me. There was no training. I wasn't sent any instructions.That was normally how I was summoned for training.I sat near the window in my room, knees pulled slightly to my chest as I stared out into the forest again.That had become a habit. I enjoyed watching, listening and thinking.My wolf was calm today. Nothing about her seemed restless today or extremely aware.She was just… present.That alone felt like a relief. At least I didn

Kael stood across from me.He was silent, probably waiting for what I was about to say.He had returned not long ago.Everything was beginning to make sense.“You should read it again,” Kael said.I didn’t look up.“I’ve memorized it.”“That’s not the point.”Slowly, I lifted my gaze to meet his.“Then what is?”Kael stepped closer, his expression sharper than usual.“The wording,” he said. “It’s not just a challenge.”I picked the parchment again, my grip tightening slightly.To Alpha Luciano,Word of your growing territory has reached even the far edges of the south. Strength attracts attention and so do unusual acquisitions.It is said that you have taken in something rare. Something valuable. A possession.Such things do not belong hidden behind walls.I propose a challenge. A rightful contest between Alphas.Victory determines claim. Including the girl.My jaw tightened.“She’s not even being referred to as a person,” Kael muttered.“No,” I said coldly. “She isn’t.”Silence fille

One second, there was a duel.There was control and order.Everyone standing in a perfect circle, watching two Alphas fight for dominance.Including me.The next, everything shattered.My wolf froze.Figures burst through the tree line.They were fast. Not one. Not five.Dozens.My breath caught sharply.“Luciano!”But I didn’t even finish his name before the clearing exploded into chaos.“DEFEND THE ALPHA!”The shout rang out in a commanding tone.Luciano’s wolves moved instantly.They shifted.I heard bones cracking. Flesh stretching. Fur tearing through skin as massive wolves replaced human forms.The sound alone was enough to send a shiver down my spine. Then the attackers hit.Claws were meeting claws. Teeth tearing into fleshes.Bodies slammed into each other with brutal force.The duel was forgotten. It was no longer a duel. At that point, the rules didn’t matter anymore.It didn't apply to this.This was war.I stood there frozen, I couldn't move.I stood there, looking to the

The silence after the war felt loud. It settled over everything, the ground the air even me. I stood at the edge of the clearing, watching as the last of the bodies were taken away, the sent of blood still lingering faintly.We had won. But it didn’t feel like victory.“You should be resting,” his voice called out from behind, low and steady.“I could say the same for you,” I replied.There as a pause before he stopped beside me, closed enough to be felt. “Things are not normally like this, this chaos, silence, death. Things are not normally like this.” He replied, I tell could how he was replaying everything that happened in his head.He was willing to kill for me. For me. It still felt like I was the cause of all this, I felt like I needed to apologize, needed to sooth things out. I turned slightly “I’m sorry for all these, none of it was my intension.”He looked at me, really looked this time. Not past me, not through me, at me.There was no anger to his expression, if anythin
