Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast Novel by Paige T

It felt as if time had stopped for the Blackmoon Alpha. It felt like he was looking at a ghost. from the past. Rygan felt like he couldn’t breathe; none of them could the minute they watched Elise walk into the room.

Elise was alive; she had been all this time. Taz was wide–eyed with shock, while Kaide and Alvira looked terrified, as if they had seen a ghost come to haunt them.

Kyren’s face mirrored that of the Beddor cousin, with an icy terror in their gaze, while Chief Dexton looked like he was a second away from bolting out of the room in fear. No one saw this coming, and now they could barely speak a word.

“Welcome, Alpha and Luna of the Calhan Pack,” Camille called, breaking the icy tension in the room. They were all intrigued by the fact that this was the first time they had seen a Calhan wolf interact with other packs in decades.

But half of the table was more terrified and still in disbelief of the female who stood tall and. proud, her hands elegantly placed on the curve of her partner’s forearm, his tall build exuding protection as his eyes scanned the room.

His gaze brought terror to those who dared to look at him or his Luna. Alvira could swallow her nerves down as she gave a slow, panicked look to her cousin, who tried to control his features even though his mind was a wreck right now. But that was impossible when they were all staring at a ghost.

Rygan looked like he was about to throw up when he saw the soft caress that the male had given Elise and the bite that practically showed off to the world that he was her mate. “El.”

And envy boiled Rygan to the core. “Elise, you were alive all this time?” Kyren called, standing up. He was putting on a show, his face contorted into one of false care and relief, but he should have known better.

He hardly made it close to five feet from her when the Calhan Alpha’s voice boomed out. “One step closer to my wife, and I’ll take the last good eye you have,” Hayden said to Kyren. Elise turned to

the seat where Rygan and his pack members sat, Alvira’s hands pressing on his and begging him not to act on his impulse, but Rygan was at the point of losing it, especially since his lost love was here but mated with another male. “Don’t act too surprised to see me, when I’m sure you all danced happily when I was gone,” Elise called with a wicked smirk.

“All this time,” Rygan muttered.

“Not one word from you–I suppose this is a surprising turn of events, but we do have more important matters at hand,” she called to them.

“Who do you think you are to order us around? Especially to our alpha?” Alvira started; this time she flinched back when Elise’s gaze landed on her, and with just one step, Elise moved forward. Alvira took two steps back and began to tremble. “I–I,” she stuttered out in humiliation.

“Let’s begin this conversation, shall we?” She called with a cold smirk ignoring her and passing them by, taking Hayden’s hand to guide her to a seat. It took everything in Alvira’s body to stop her from falling from shock at how weak her legs had be e. Elise’s aura was intense–nothing like she had seen before.

At that moment, Rygan sprang up from his seat, but Taz’s hands were pulling at his shoulders. He looked to his beta, who gave him a silent plea not to act on anything right now.

“How is this possible?” Chief Dexton, her ex–father, said, sitting back, while Kyren’s eyes were still on Elise, admiring her beauty. She said no word to him yet; he wasn’t worth it, especially having learned the best about controlling her emotions from Hayden.

But now she faced her ex–father, his eyes filled with fury that she was a higher power than him, being the Luna of a very powerful pack.

“You have no right to ask me that, not after all the filthy sins you’ve committed, but after you abandoned me, you monster, and you killed my mother,” she snarled at him.

“You insolent brat… So you did what? Whored.yourself to a Calhan wolf just like your mother did to climb the ranks and become a Luna? Just like your whore mother-

Dexton could barely finish those words before Hayden rushed to him at lightning speed. The next moment, Dexton’s legs were left flailing helplessly in the air as he clutched Hayden’s arm, choking and clawing for the alpha to let go.

“Word came from my spies, and the men we’d captured said they had been led with plans to destroy all the packs with someone’s help. On the last day, my men checked all the packs and saw there had been major damage to all but one, the Silver Night Pack. He was the one who gave the human guild the maps to our territory,” he said to the whole room, who let out a gasp in shock at Dexton’s betrayal.

No one could take their eyes off Elise precision, each gallant step and sashay of her hips alone bringing admirers from the whole

as she rose from her seat with such elegance and room that had gone quiet. Knowing this was a family matter and sacred rules were destroyed. by Dexton’s betrayal, it would be solved through what the latter deemed fit as punishment. Even if death.

Alvira jumped in terror on her sest, her handled over her lips in horror, horrified by the bloody scene that no one dared to intervene in. Was this the Elise she knew? This person had such a powerful and wicked mura around them that it scared Alvira senseless.

The scream of Beta Dexton didn’t stop, and Kyren dared to look amused instead of

concerned that Desion was injured. He was more intrigued by Elise, his eyes darkened from his obsession with her.

“There, there, angel” Hayden called with a smirk “I say we have our fun later,” he said with a dark, sensual promise, not caring that they were surrounded by many people.

“Anyone who dares to talk about my Luna will receive death by my hands, she is the Luna of

pack, and I am her mate and her second in command,” he called.

Second: The whole room erupted in confusion, thinking that Elise wasn’t just his partner but a queen. Only a ritual descendant of the Calhan clan would have such power!

“Elise is the child of our late King Alpha Edgar; her birthright is the Calhan Pack, and she is queen and ruler, so do not dare disrespect my mate, or I will not be afraid to kill you all,” Hayden warned, his gaze piercing directly into the Blackmoon pack.

Mate, mate, mate! That word rang in Rygan’s head as he watched them close together, with fond gazes at each other. He still wanted to know how and why. He felt that prickling

ptiness inside him burn, and his wolf thrashed in defiance at Hayden’s words, “No!” This cannot be possible.

*Elise, picase, we need to talk” He sent down the bond. For a moment, he felt her stiffness to his call, but she didn’t reply to him, instead only giving him a cold glance that lasted ten seconds, as if that was all he was worth to her.

But if he truly had known how shaken she was meeting him again and how all the memories she had locked in for years came crashing in Hayden had given her that strength to get past him; even now, her wolf preened in his presence, but her thirst for revenge was far greater than anything she felt.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

No one could predict what Elise was up to, as her eyes slithered towards all of them like a cubra ready to strike at any moment. The Beddor cousins knew they were in a whole world of trouble.

“Are we going to continue this meeting, or does someone else have to lose a head before we continue?” She asked, and this time her gaze was directed at Kaide.

The beta felt his blood run cold: he’d been silent this entire time trying his best to make his presence unknown, and now he felt that crumbling anxiousness under Elise’s locked gaze that caused goosebumps on his skin. He knew this was far from over.

Alpha Camille, still shocked by how much the altercation had worsened, immediately called off the summit, as Beta Dexton was immediately imprisoned by Elise’s orders for him to stand trial.

But there was still more to come because this meeting was far from over, and the torment had just begun.
