Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast Novel by Paige T

“No way in absolute hell are you going alone with that bastard.”

Hayden’s voice echoes through the tent as Elise tells him of her agreement with Rygan. He was more than livid that she had agreed to go along with him to the human lands.

“Hayden, after all I’ve been through, do you think I’d even want to be in that situation? But with the circumstances right now, I have to get Ethan back!” She argues with a soft caress to his face.

“You have taught me all there is to know about human attacks and their weapons; I can handle it, Hayden,” she assures,

“Then I will be going with you,” he argues as he lifts his hands to hold onto her wrist and presses a deep kiss to her palm. “I have to go with you,” he calls with a desperate tone.

“You are wounded, Hayden, as pale as a ghost, and I know bits of the poison are still inside your blood. I also have to find a viable antidote to help cure you

“Angel, look at me. I am fine. I will heal, but I need to follow you. There is no discussion about it. When I said my vows to protect you for all of my life, I meant it, and where you go, I go. He tells Elise. “We will get Ethan back, and those monsters

pay with their lives,” he says with a promise.

Only if she could see the intense and burning jealousy and insecurity Hayden was feeling. He didn’t know why he felt that way when he saw Rygan and her together, like they were a perfect pair, and it irked him, and he couldn’t let them be alone.

Elise watched his gaze with a quiet sigh. She couldn’t argue with that, not when Hayden wanted to go with her. No matter the mistakes she had made, Hayden was always with her; she just hoped she wouldn’t mess this up.

She joins their foreheads together, both breathing and sharing the same air. Till their minds calm, she reaches forward, placing a soft kiss on his lips. “All right then, you and me,” she said to him.

She lays down with him on the bed as they both close their eyes to at least have rest, but Elise still can’t sleep fully, not wher she is anxious about tomorrow, as they were to leave by the first light.

But her night was filled with nightmares of her son being tortured by Chief Dexton, who hated her. If that monster is capable of cruelly killing her mother, what about her child?

The dream wakes Elise up in a cold sweat with only Hayden’s steady beating heart that calms her pounding ones, her eyes clear with focus on what’s to come by dawn. By morning, other packs had already begun to make the journey back to their homes after an agreement not to attack the humans first, and now the Blackmoon and the Calhan pack were all left behind.

A sense of tension rose in the tents as they prepared final plans for their journey. They didn’t trust the assassin enough to be in the meeting, so only the leaders and their trusted betas were there.

Jax and Taz were in attendance, along with Elise, Hayden, and Rygan. It didn’t start without an incidental stare between both alpha males before they drew up the plans for their journey. After they were done, they walked out of the tent to meet dozens of Blackmoon pack members waiting

A look of surprise drew on Elise’s face when they bowed to her. “We are thankful, Luna Elise; you a lot of would have been dead; we owe you a debt. And pray for your safe journey and your son’s return,” one of the deltas spoke.

“And we are sorry we misjudged you all this time; the blame cannot be on the Beddors alone, as we were also wrong to you; we will pray for your success,” another mutters.

She feels a heavy, painful tug in her chest as she clears her throat, stopping that tearful tone as she smiles with a thankful

nod.

Taz then came forward and said, “I know you want your team to be as small as possible, and it pains me not to come along,

but We

will be here waiting, and I assure you, Luna, I will always be by your side; Vienna will want to see you; I know it not.”

Elise shuts him off with a hug. “Thank you so much, Taz, and I will live to see her when I’m back. Tell her I miss her so much. Thank you,” she mutters before she lets go.

“Take care, Red,” Taz says before she joins Hayden and Rygan, who are covered in their dark cloaks. One last wave to her people before they start their journey.

“We need to make it to the waiting point at noon,” Rygan says, breaking the silence of their hike. There was no room. Mistakes and their shifting powers were one of them; it would draw too much attention, so they decided to make the journey on foot.

Elise watched Hayden like a hawk; every groan or sweat made her very anxious if he was alright for the journey, seeing that he was quiet and his skin was paler than before.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m fine.” he grunts, this time daily with irritation, and pulls her hand away. Rygan, who was behind them, watched their interaction and stopped a snarl of jealousy from leaving his lips, knowing he would have held her tighter instead. He then walked forward, passing them by at a fast pace.

They finally made it across the hill, with one last cross to the boulder. “Here,” both men chorused as they both reached their hands out for Elise to grab so she could pass the rocky edge. She stared at them with adoration raised before jumping over them without any assistance..

I don’t need help; I’m not a frail old wolf.”

Hayden leaves a smirk of pride as he eyes Trial behind her, with both alphas watching as she trails in front of them, while Rygan leaves a grunt in annoyance. The hilly journey finally turns into a sloped one as they make their way down to the spot the map leads to..

They were far from wolf territory at this point because, instead of rocks and grass, they were met with a tarred road before the bypa**

“We’re here,” Hayden finally says, his voice more quiet than usual. The trio marches towards a large, covered black tarp, with Hayden pulling it over and under a brand new black truck, with its tires almost at Elise’s height.

“What in the moon’s monstrosity is this contraption?” Rygan mutters. “I smell humans have been around it too, so we have to be careful,” he says darkly.

“It’s a car; we have to keep low, and this will help us do that and help us move faster since we can’t depend on shifting in our wolf form here,” Hayden says. “My sources have dropped off clothes for us to change into in the back seat.” He says.

ean to trust them?”

“Sources, do you mean humans?” You mean

“A lot of them might be evil, but some of them are good they’ve helped us for years in secret, Elise mutters as she wastes no time opening the back door of the truck, raising a leg to the ramp of the truck, and pushing herself onto the leather backseat of the truck.

“That’s why you both wanted to spare them during the summit, Rygan muttered, watching her with a brow raised. She tilts her head with one turn to Rygan, her crowds raised as she says.

“What are you doing? Get in”
