Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Arabella Fights Back

Arabella’s POV

Fourteen Years Earlier

It wasn’t easy getting away from Odette. The powerful she-wolf was determined to keep me in the shelter with the other women and children, but I’ve always been good at slipping through the cracks when adults aren’t looking.

I’m still furious at Flynn and Bastien, they always treat me like I’m a baby. It isn’t fair that they get to go fight while I’m expected to cower in the darkness and wait for the danger to pass. Boys get to be warriors, why is it any different for girls? I may not be as old as they are, but I’m every bit as brave I know I am.

Darting through the forest, I head towards the sounds of the battle, determinedly keeping my eyes straight ahead. I can hear snarls and screams in the distance, and every now and then crimson pools flash in my periphery, blood spraying from fallen shifters as their lives wink out.

I followed my brother’s scent all across the mountain, but they traveled so far throughout the conflict that all the action had died down by the time I finally caught up with them. They were at the edge of a cliff, rolling over the bodies littering the ground to check for signs of life. I’ d never seen such carnage, and my stomach churned at the terrible images.

However the faces of these dead strangers were not the ones which would go on to haunt my nightmares for years to come. No, it was what happened next that brought my world crashing down and forever ruined my chances of achieving a good night’s sleep.

One of the supposedly deceased wolves at the edge of the trees got to his feet when Flynn and the others had their backs turned.

I didn’t see him myself until it was too late otherwise I would have screamed a warning. Until this moment my foolish young mind had imagined itself in love with Bastien Durand. He was everything I could dream of in a mate, and one day he would be Alpha. No one in my family’s history had ever risen to a position of such power. Flynn would come the closest by becoming Beta, but if I married.
