Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast Novel by Paige T

Rygan’s POV

I never knew that after Alana’s death, someone would make me feel so anxious and yet so obsessed that I had with Alana an innocent love, but I’ve never felt so intense and never wanted someone so much like how I craved Elise, and she was all I could think about.

Since that very day that I took Alvira in my bed, my wolf had fought against me, thrashed my mind, and filled it all with Elise, she was who I wanted.

But it all came crashing down when Alvira announced her pregnancy. I could see the look of betrayal in Elise’s eyes. I knew I was going to lose her, but nothing prepared me for the moment Kaide told me that she was gone that night.

A clouding fear surrounded me and left me wondering if she had left me and left the pack, finally freeing herself from a messed-up old me, but the moment I found out she was taken, I became feral with a killing drive

My wolf had become mad with searching for her: I could barely sleep or eat after she was abducted, not until I found her and she was in my arms again.

She was all I could think about and all I wanted, but even after our time together in that cave, she wanted to have nothing to do with me. I thought if I could just give her time, she’d come to me.

And hell was I wrong. I couldn’t explain the gut-wrenching feeling my body withstood when Elise planted a short kiss on Kaide’s lips right in front of me.

All those months of suppressing my inert beastly desires to dominate her wholly, to mark her and paint her inside and out with my fluids till she was covered in me. I’ve tried to push that dark feral side that will consume her back into my dark thoughts.

But right now I wanted to kill Kaide right there, and then after Elise kissed him, I wanted to roar to the whole world that Elise was mine and only mine! And a part of me still didn’t want to believe what I just witnessed, but until I talked to her.

The minute I left that meeting room, I headed to Elise’s chambers to talk and confront her, but then I came face-to-face with one of her attackers.

For a reason unbeknownst to me, my wolf snarled in his presence. It was a young Delta who I passed and hit across the arm in my rage. Little did I know it was him-not till I sighted that deep clawed scratch on the space between his shoulder and his neck.

With one look in his eyes, he’d known he was caught; he was no match for me as I poured my wrath on him, but Taz had been the one to calm me before I killed him.

They had taken him to the dungeons for Kaide to interrogate him so we would find out who sent him to take Elise from my pack.

I could still feel that untapped rage in my blood, begging to kill the brute that hurt my woman. I needed to see her now. I raced to her chambers, hoping she hadn’t heard anything about the Delta in custody, as I had warned Taz and Kaide to keep it a secret so the person who planned it wouldn’t be able to escape.

But as I reached her room, she wasn’t there, she wasn’t in the moon house at all. She had been doing a darn good job at hiding and avoiding me for the past few days, but my wolf yearned and craved to see her.

I shifted into my wolf. I tracked her scent to Vienna Cottage; it was faint as I sniffed harder, taking in a freshener scent and trailing back to the clinic.

I watched her from the window as she attended to the wolves with Vienna right by her side, teaching and leading her through it. The way her head tilted and her lips poured in a cute way when she was focused.

I need to talk to her. I sent a message to Vienna, who stiffened; she looked out the windows to catch sight of my wolf. Even though I was half buried in the dark grass. I still wanted her to see me.

With a quiet nod, she takes Elise out the doors and down the backyard, a perfect spot. “What is going on, Vienna?” She asks the healer, confused, but I know Viema was following orders frome.

“Here, you might need this, Good luck,” she whispered to Elise before she made her way into the clinic. A sense of calm takes over me when I see her beautiful face searching out in confusion.

*** 1 channel to her mind, and Elise immediately stiffens. That’s when I make my way out of the woods and finally show myself to her. My wolf growled on sight.

My mighty stature towers over her still human form. “What the hell, Rygan?” she mutters. I could tell she was a bit nervous. I scolded my wolf for sneaking as it rounded her. Sniffing and studying to make sure none of Kaide’s scent was on her.

I shifted to my normal form; there was a tense silence the minute I met her gaze, my body bare and naked as I came close to her and pushed myself to look up at my torso rather than looking down at my hung member between my legs. Even though my pack sees no judgment in nudity from shifting, I could tell it was still startling to her.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Tazmin told me about the incident with one of the newly turned pups are you sure you aren’t hurt?” I ask. But I could see the frown etched on her face.

“You know I can’t be,” she answers coldly. found out either way.

Of course, I knew she couldn’t. I tried to keep oblivious to it, but it seems she

“Why didn’t you tell me you knew?”

“It was to protect you,” I explained, but I only got a bitter laugh. Her hand was raised to push her beautiful, wavy red locks from her face, and those eyes that drew me in every time had me locked in. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“It’s what’s to protect me, but you always do things behind my back; do you ever want to tell me the truth?” I felt guilty yet pissed when she said that, but only if she knew what I just found out about her kidnapper.

But a dark part wanted to hurt her, just like she had done to me. I still recall the moment she kissed Kaide and trusted him with her secret before me.

“Just like how you’ve been doing with Kaide? What the f**g hell was that back there?” I snarled, my hands moving to the curved, silky expanse of her enticing nape, tracing a line that I knew made him shudder. It wasn’t long until she pushed my hands away.

“Tell me one good f**g reason why I shouldn’t go back and snap his neck,” I ask her.

“You wouldn’t do that, he is your friend.”

“And you are mine!” I countered, my hands instinctively grabbing at her waist and my other hand planting her cheeks both, bringing our bodies and faces so close together that we were almost breathing the same air. My wing had never been so desperate before Elise.

“Maybe I am yours, but you can never be just mine, Rygan, and I want to choose someone who I can have to myself. I know it’s selfish of me, but for the first time, I’m given the right to choose,” she argues.

“You don’t mean that.”

“You can’t stop me from being courted; I’m not mated to you; the bond isn’t fully formed; it’s…”

“But it’s there, and moons, I know you feel it just like I do, Elise. How much do our hearts beat each other?” I mutter, breathing those words into her skin, making sure she could feel them.

I bent forward, leaning toward her lips, but she turned away. A staring pain clenched my heart.

“That mark was a matter of convenience, just like you said. Just lust between two bodies she says coldly, and I recall saying that to her when we ate that shed, and my hands fell from her face.

“Elise-

“You have your crown, your child, and a future mate; your people are all counting on you; don’t focus on me; I don’t want this relationship with no future to keep confusing us. Please.” she begged. I could see the pain in her gaze with each word and how hard she was trying to keep it all in. “It is the best for us

“I won’t give up on us.

“I feel nothing for you,” she says plainly. It felt like a knife gutted into my heart. From those words, “I chose Kaide, or don’t I have that choice, or am I just a prisoner in your world here?” She asks me.

‘She chose Kaide; she chose Kaide; our woman chose Kaide and hot us! My wolf snarls, thrashing around for me to do something, for me to hold on to her, but I promised Elise that she was never a prisoner and free to do what she wanted.

And how would that make me any different from that b**d Kyren if I broke my words?

“And what about what I feel for you?” I ask.

“And what is it that you feel?” She asks, her icy blue gaze searching mine for an answer through the tense know why I was hesitating.

silence. I don’t

There was a loud crash from inside the clinic that broke the tension and silence between us. “And if you’d excuse me, Alpha Rygan, I have to go help the sick patients from your pack,” she said coldly to me.

*Please let me go, Rygan” She sends down the link.

I thought about it: being in her shoes and everything that happened to her-a life that wasn’t involved with me-maybe she could have the happy life that she always wanted; she was what she wanted, and if 1 gave it to her..

“You’re right, this should have never gone this far,” I say. Her gaze lifted quickly to meet mine, a quick note of shock and something heartbreaking before she relaxed her face into indifference and searched mine.

“Yeah, it shouldn’t have, she croaked out. “So this is it then; goodbye, Alpha Rygan” she says before turning away.

My hands twitched as my woll pushed to hold her, not to let her go. Only a mad rush of questions and agony haunted my mind as I took a few steps away from bed, shifted back to my wolf, and raced through the woods

I howled from the separation as I raced through the woods to clear my mind. Was this the end of us? Was I going to let Elise choose Kaide even after my feelings were clear as day and I finally knew how I felt? The love I had for her?

But it’s all too late.
