#Chapter 54 DNA Test
Bastien’s POV
I’ve never spent much time in Asphodel.
When I was a boy my father dragged me all over the continent, visiting different territories and packs, learning the lay of the land and meeting other Alphas, but I never liked anyplace as well as Elysium. Now, watching Selene and Lila commune with the strange animals who live in the watery mangroves of the Eros Pack’s capital, I can almost appreciate the strange, floating city.
A soft, furry snout emerges from the water, kissing Lila’s tiny toddler hand and making the pup squeal with delight. Selene keeps one slender arm locked around her daughter’s middle so the child doesn’t leap from the dock, but her own beaming grin is so wide I feel tempted to step forward and impose the same protection on my mate.
As if she can feel my gaze on her, Selene glances over her shoulder, her bright, intelligent eyes n

Selene’s POVLuna is flat in her back, tongue lolling out of her mouth as she exposes her belly to Bastien, but I notch my chin up defiantly. “I don’t belong to anyone.”Bastien cuts his eyes to me with a cocky grin, as if he knows exactly how severely Luna and I are currently disagreeing. “We’re mates.” I snarl at the word and he chuckles indulgently, heat traveling from the tips of his fingers straight to my core, “I belong to you, and you belong to me.”“You had the chance to claim me as your mate Bastien, you had a thousand chances and you never took one.” I’m not even going to bother arguing his logic. “It’s too late to change your mind now.”“I’m not changing anything, little wolf.” Hunger sparks in his silver eyes as he watches me pace. “I couldn’t claim you in good
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 56 Mark
Bastien’s POV“You were about to mark me!”I stumble backward, dazed as Selene’s words pierce through the fog of lust. She was right, I was about to mark her.My instincts had completely taken over, Axel was urging me to mark her as he had a thousand times before, but my old self restraint is long gone. I thought my mate was dead for three years, kissing her again was too much too resist. If I mark her, make that searing, claiming bite that will forever tie her to me and announce to the world that she belongs to me, she’d never be able to run again.Even now, knowing how wrong it would be to mark her without her consent, I have to admit the idea is tempting. I watch my mate obsessively, taking in every facet of her expression and demeanor. She’s so beautiful with her wolf alight in her eyes, a wolf that still seeks mine despite Selene’s objections.
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 57 Alarm
Selene’s POVFrom the first moment I learned about the mating mark, I’ve always felt defective. Nevermind that the information came from a flock of bitter she-wolves, their words always rang true in my heart. If Bastien truly wanted me, he would have marked me from the beginning.When I found out that we were truly mates, the wound deepened, like a knife driving in to the hilt with the realization that the loss of Luna had also cost me my fate. If I wasn’t so broken, Bastien would have marked me whether he loved me or not; there is no other way with Alpha’s, they mark what they see as theirs on principle.There are no words to describe how worthless something would have to be for such possessive creatures to give up their stake. So that’s what I was – exactly what Garrick always said: worthless.It never mattered to me that Luna was gone. I still wanted hi
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 58 Ultimatums
Selene’s POVWe’re back in Asphodel by the time I wake. My lashes part to the sight of fierce silver eyes, affection sparkling in their depths while familiar hands stroke my hair. I mumble sleepily, stretching as Bastien coaxes me from sleep. “There she is.” He purrs, turning to look down at something by my hip. “See, I told you.”I follow his line of sight, the happiness burgeoning in my chest expanding to joy when I see Lila grinning up at me, “You slept for a long time, mommy.” She informs me, crawling into my lap for a cuddle. “Bashun said he put a spell on you.”“I did!” He says, with feigned offense, “You saw, I just lifted it.”I squeeze the beloved bundle in my arms, rocking slightly back and forth. “And why would he do that?” I ask, resting my cheek on the top of her head.
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 59 Calypso
Arabella’s POVI used to hear stories about the Calypso Pack when I was young, about their beautiful territories in the far east and the unrivaled power with which they dominate the continent. From the time I was a little girl, strength has always been synonymous with their pack, and even as Gabriel grew the Nova pack to new heights, the Durands’ have never come close to challenging Blaise Denizen’s empire.Everyone thought I loved Bastien much, but actually I never loved him. How would I love the man that caused my brother’s death? I just always pretended to love him, in order to achieve my revenge. After Bastien married the halfling, I traveled for a long time, always planning on getting to the Calypso territory and its capital, Tartarus, eventually. At the time I thought succeeding on my own would be its own revenge, like I could somehow make Bastien pay for Flynn’s death by living my best life
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 60 She’s Not Mine
Selene’s POV This can’t be happening. Two minutes ago I was being engulfed by my mother-in-law’s warmth and affirmations of love, now the rug has been pulled out from under me so abruptly I think I might actually collapse. Certainly Bastien’s words on the ferry had startled me, frightened me even. I suspected he intended to do something like this, the way he kept muttering “we’ll see.” But I never imagined it had already been done. I thought I had time to counteract him, to come up with a plan. “What do you mean?” I ask hoarsely, “I already told you, she isn’t yours.” “You did.” Bastien acknowledges with a razor sharp tongue. “But I had a DNA sample sent back to Elysium just to be sure.” Odette looks back and forth between us, doubt marring her features. “You didn’t know he took a sample from your pup?” “No.” I grow
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 61 I Told You So
Bastien’s POVThis isn’t right.The lab report in my hand is as clear as day, and its conclusions unmistakeable, but it can’t be right. I’ve read it at least ten times now, scanning the page over and over again, looking for any sign of hope, any hint that the samples got mixed up or were contaminated in the lab. Yet every time the information remains the same. Beneath columns full of DNA markers I cannot even begin to understand, read the damning words:Probability of Paternity: 0%I don’t believe it. She has to be mine.Selene, who turned pale and ashen the moment my mother revealed the envelope, squeezes the pup in her arms a little tighter. I can’t see Lila’s face, but I can hear the delicate wafts of her breath as she slumbers in her mother’s arms, completely oblivious to the disaster unfolding around her.Selene furrows her dark brows and pouts her full lips, her beautiful face sullen and wary in equal measure. My stomach is in my throat, and the room around me is spinning out of
Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate #Chapter 62 Together
Selene’s POVHowever I thought this day would go, I never could have predicted this.I’m so overwhelmed and confused I don’t even know where to begin, but the strange reality remains: I’m safe. Lila and my secret are safe from my mate, and though I cannot even begin to understand how it happened, I am eternally grateful.This doesn’t make sense. Luna whimpers.No, I agree, It doesn’t. But thank the Goddess it happened. Weren’t you listening to what he said? Luna presses. He wants you, whatever else happened before, he wants you now. He wants Lila. Well he can’t have either of us. I argue. I’ve had my fill of men pretending to be innocent, refusing to be accountable for their actions.I can’t deny how deeply
