Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Dark King
Aria Hale spent her entire life believing the Moon Goddess created someone just for her.
Someone who would see her. Choose her. Love her.
She didn’t expect her fated mate to be Alpha Blake Thorn—the golden boy of the pack… or that he would reject her in front of everyone on her eighteenth birthday.
Humiliated, heartbroken, and stripped of her place in the pack, Aria runs into the Forbidden Woods, praying for the pain to stop.
But instead of death, she finds something far more dangerous:
The Dark King.
Erevan is ancient, feared, and impossibly powerful. To the world he is a myth.
To Aria, he is the first person who looks at her like she is worth the world.
And when she collapses in his arms, he does the unthinkable—
He claims her as his mate.
In the Dark Realm, Aria begins to unlock abilities she never knew she had. Abilities that were never meant to exist in the mortal world. Abilities that could destroy everything she once called home.
When she returns to her old pack, Alpha Blake realizes the awful truth:
Rejecting her was the biggest mistake of his life.
But it’s too late.
Aria is no longer the girl who begged for love.
She is the mate of a king.
Chosen. Claimed. Unstoppable.
And she will never kneel again.
A rejected-mate romance filled with betrayal, power, jealousy, possessive love, and a heroine who rises from broken to legendary.

Chapter: EpilogueThe newborn realm breathed.It didn’t speak with words or roar with magic or tremble beneath the weight of old wounds. It simply existed—growing, settling, finding its rhythm the way a newborn chest finds its first steady breaths after the world welcomes it in.Aria walked along a river that had not been there a day before, though time didn’t behave the same here. The water shimmered in threads of gold and silver, flowing in soft spirals that reflected the sky above—a sky that still hadn’t chosen a color, instead wearing every shade of morning and night at once.Beside her, the child ran ahead—bare feet touching the ground without sound. Each step left behind a brief glow, like the realm smiled at every place the child touched.Its laughter carried across the water in bright, echoing tones. Not loud. Not overwhelming. Just… pure. A sound that made Aria’s heart expand in ways that frightened her with their depth.“Slow down,” she called gently.The child spun, both light and shadow swi

Chapter: Chapter 116The envoys moved first.Light surged forward in a spear of gold, crashing against the newborn realm with the force of a star. Shadow followed in a collapsing wave, a tidal crush of darkness meant to smother everything in its path. The ground beneath Aria’s feet cracked outward in luminous fractures as the twin assaults converged.Erevan was faster.Shadows erupted from him in a violent arc, sweeping around Aria and the child like a fortress pulled from the night itself. He threw out a hand, and the darkness condensed into a wall—thick, trembling, groaning under the pressure of both realms pressing against it.“ARIA—GO!” he shouted, voice hoarse from strain.She didn’t move.The child clung to her waist, trembling, its bright-dark eyes wide with terror. Aria’s force roared to life, filling her veins with heat—light rising from deep inside her, brighter than it had ever burned. She stepped up beside Erevan, placed her hand over his on the barrier, and pushed.The realm answered.A shock

Chapter: Chapter 115The crack in the horizon deepened with a low, resonant groan—like the sound of the world taking a breath it didn’t know how to release. The newborn realm trembled beneath Aria’s feet, not violently, but with a warning, a shiver of tension through the very fabric of what she and Erevan had created.Erevan reacted instantly.He pulled Aria behind him, one arm sweeping in front of her, the other curling back to keep the child close. His shadows unfurled in a sweeping arc, forming a wide protective barrier around the three of them.The child clung to Aria’s hand, its luminous eyes widening with instinctive fear. “They come,” it whispered—its voice trembling for the first time.Aria lowered herself to meet the child’s gaze. “Who’s coming? What do you feel?”The child lifted its free hand toward the horizon. “Light. Shadow. Both. They… want.”Erevan stiffened. “They want you.”A sharp pulse hit the realm. The sky—if it could be called a sky—split wider, revealing a blazing tear of gold on o

Chapter: Chapter 114Aria couldn’t breathe.The small being—woven from light like dawn and shadow like midnight—stood at the base of the hill looking up at her with eyes too ancient and too newborn at the same time. Its voice still echoed through her ribs, soft but resonant, as if the realm itself had spoken through a child-shaped vessel.“Mother?”The word hollowed her.Erevan went utterly still beside her. Not stunned—struck. His shadows recoiled inward then flared outward in a protective ring around them, instinctively forming a barrier he wasn’t even aware of. She felt the panic ripple through him, not because he feared the being, but because he feared what it meant for her.“Aria,” he whispered hoarsely, gripping her wrist. “Stay behind me.”“No.” Her voice cracked—but not from fear. “Erevan… it’s not a threat.”He didn’t move. “It exists. That’s threat enough.”The being stepped closer—slowly, with the tentative steps of someone learning how feet work. As it moved, the surface of the realm rippled b

Chapter: Chapter 113The moment Aria and Erevan crossed the threshold, the world folded inward like a closing petal—soft, silent, absolute. Warmth brushed over Aria’s skin, a gentle whisper of magic that felt like breath against her cheek, like hands smoothing the tension from her shoulders. Erevan’s grip never loosened; if anything, it tightened, his shadows curling protectively around her waist even as the light of the bridge swirled around them.Then—the fold released.And the new realm opened.Aria gasped.Erevan went still beside her.They stood on a vast expanse that wasn’t sky or land or void—but something between all three. The ground shimmered like glass, reflecting the colors of both realms: soft golds and deep silvers, pale blues and dark violets. Above them stretched a sky with no sun and no moon—only swirling ribbons of light and shadow that looped and braided through each other like living constellations.It felt alive.Breathing.Listening.Erevan let out a slow, shaky exhale. “It’s… beaut

Chapter: Chapter 112The light of the newborn bridge slowly dimmed from blinding to radiant, settling into a steady thrum like the heartbeat of something newly alive. Aria’s breaths shuddered as the last of the magic drained from her fingertips, leaving them tingling. Erevan kept an arm around her waist, steadying her as though she might slip away if he let go even for a second.He wasn’t wrong to worry.Her legs trembled.Her vision flickered.Her chest felt both too full and too hollow.She had just shaped a new truth into existence.And creation was still settling around them.The ancestors remained bowed, their heads low, their auras dimmed in quiet acknowledgment. The Fractured watched from a cautious distance, as if afraid to disturb the new equilibrium forming across the plane.Erevan brushed a thumb under Aria’s eye, searching her expression. “How much did it take from you?”She swallowed. “Not take. Reshape.”“Aria—” His jaw tightened, shadows trembling at the edges. “That’s worse.”She summoned
