Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By His Alpha Uncle novel Chapter 35

“Ryker?” Jenna whispered.

The healer nodded. “Your spirit is rejecting his influence. Not the children. Him, the bond, the power he used to claim you.’

“He didn’t mark me,” Jenna said quickly. “There’s no mate mark.”

“But he did something,” the healer replied. “Something that pulled your wolf into his control. Something that’s unraveling now.”

Jenna felt the weight of her exhaustion deepen. “Can you fix it?”

The healer didn’t answer. Instead, she lit a thin piece of incense and traced a circle around the bowl with white ink. She muttered a word, something old and unreadable.

When she turned back, her expression was pale.

“You will lose the babies!” The healer dropped the words that left Jenna confused.

“What!?” She shot in confusion.

Someone else will make sure you lose the babies, she snapped.

Jenna closed her eyes. Her chest rose and fell in shallow, terrified breaths.

There was a long pause. Then the healer stepped back, went to a sealed scroll on the shelf, and pulled it down with shaking hands.

“What are you doing?” Jenna asked.

“I need to notify someone who can protect you. The Alpha.”

“No,” Jenna said, sitting up sharply. Her head spun, but she didn’t stop. “Please, Not Ryker. He won’t believe you.

He thinks I’m the enemy.”

“He must know what’s at stake.”

Jenna’s chest tightened. “He’s made up his mind. If you tell him now, it’ll only make things worse.”

The healer hesitated. “You’d rather stay in the dark?”

“No,” Jenna whispered. “I’d rather stay alive.”

The woman hesitated. Then she turned, slow and heavy with dread, and lit the wax seal on the edge of a golden scroll.

“The Alpha needs to know,” she said.
