Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Lycan king
"Oh my God, you look so perfect. You are just the right choice for Alpha Garrick, Zaria."
Those were the sweet, supportive words my elder sister, Cynthia, whispered as she lovingly braided my hair and laced me into my white maiden silks. I trusted her completely, believing today would be the happiest day of my life.
I walked into the Selection Ceremony with my head held high, ready to be claimed by my childhood sweetheart, Alpha Garrick.
Instead, I walked straight into a trap.
In front of the entire pack, My fated mate chose my sister to be his Luna over me.
I begged Garrick. I reminded him of our years together, our promises, and everything I had sacrificed for him. But my desperate pleas only fed their cruelty. Garrick sneered, calling me a pathetic, weak disgrace, while Cynthia watched with cold amusement as the pack laughed at my humiliation.
I was banished to be killed.
Bleeding, humiliated, and left to die, I fully expected the wild rogues to tear me apart.
Instead, I ran straight into the chest of a myth.
Alpha Cassian. The Midnight King. The most feared, ruthless Lycan on the continent.
I expected death from the monster in the shadows. Instead,He offered me a choice: safety, power, and the ultimate revenge against the pack that discarded me.
He is giving me an empire to crush my enemies, but he refuses to tell me why. I don't know what the Midnight King wants from a broken wolf like me, or what price he will demand when the blood settles.
But as I look back at the borders of the pack that destroyed me, I realize I don't care about his secrets. I only care about their ruin.

Chapter: Happily ever afterCHAPTER 131: Epilogue – The Eternal Silver HowlFive years had passed since the night the Citadel bells chimed for the birth of the royal twins, and the Shadowpelt Kingdom had blossomed into an era of unprecedented prosperity. The ancient caste system that had once divided the pack was now nothing more than a bitter memory written in history ledgers. Where outcasts once hid in freezing mountain caves, bustling trade routes now connected the Northern Wilds to the capital. The high granite walls of the Citadel, once cold and imposing, were draped in blooming jasmine and lit by warm amber lanterns that burned safely through every night.In the sunlit palace gardens, the morning air was filled with warm laughter, fresh jasmine, and the energetic clatter of small wooden swords."Keep your guard up, Prince Caelan! A mountain wolf doesn't drop his chin when he strikes!" High Commander Maya called out, crouching on the manicured grass.Five-year-old Caelan—possessing a thick tuft of dark hair

Chapter: A breathing boxAUTHOR'S POV Down in the courtyard below, the sound of wooden swords clattering grew suddenly louder, accompanied by an angry burst of magical energy."Yield, Lyra!" Caelan growled. He had stepped inside her guard, unleashing a dense, heavy wave of golden Alpha pressure that slammed against the stone floor, trying to force his sister onto her back foot by sheer weight of will."Never!" Lyra shouted back, her starlight eyes igniting with a brilliant, blinding flare of pure silver Sovereign light. The divine aura burst outward in a sharp shockwave, knocking Caelan's wooden sword straight out of his hand and sending it spinning across the cobblestones."Hey!" Caelan barked, his golden eyes flashing as he stepped forward, his fists clenching. "I said no magic!""You used your Alpha pressure first!" Lyra countered, stepping up face-to-face with him, her silver aura humming angrily around her shoulders."That's enough!" Maya interjected, stepping between the two teenagers with her hands ra

Chapter: A real homeAUTHOR'S POV The morning sun broke high over the spires of the Shadowpelt Citadel, casting a warm golden light across the grand stone keep. Fifteen years had passed since the day the twin Sovereign heirs were presented to the continent beneath a sky of swirling, divine aurora. In those fifteen years, the shadow of Cynthia’s coup, Elder Thomas’s greed, and the cruel caste system had faded completely into history books.The Citadel was no longer a grim, closed fortress of rigid hierarchy. It had expanded into a thriving, bustling metropolis where outcasts, unranked omegas, and high-born wolves lived and worked side by side in seamless harmony. The cold stone walls that once bristled with defensive iron spikes were now draped in creeping green ivy and blooming jasmine vines. Banners of pure silver, deep gold, and mountain blue hung proudly from every archway, representing every unified territory across the entire continent.Dawn was just beginning to paint the eastern sky in soft hues o

Chapter: Joy againAUTHOR'S POV Thunder shattered the black sky over the Citadel, throwing jagged flashes of lightning across the high stained-glass windows of the royal medical suite. Outside in the freezing rain, the courtyard was dead silent; hundreds of guards, servants, and townspeople stood huddled beneath the stone archways, waiting in anxious, breathless stillness for news from the high tower.Inside the chamber, the air was thick with the scent of crushed lavender, burning cedar, and hot herbal steam."Breathe, Zaria! Keep your chin down and push!" Helen commanded, her voice steady and sharp as she worked at the foot of the delivery bed, flanked by Luna Selene and Maeve, who were frantically washing warm linen towels in brass basins.Zaria's knuckles were ghostly white, her fingers dug so deeply into Cassian’s right hand that the leather straps of his bracer groaned under the pressure. Her silver hair was soaked with sweat, clinging to her pale forehead as another violent contraction tore thro

Chapter: The Alpha and LunaAUTHOR'S POV Four months had transformed the Shadowpelt Citadel from a tense fortress into a bustling, sunlit haven, but no transformation was more dramatic than that of the Lycan King himself.By Zaria’s fifth month of pregnancy, Cassian’s protective Alpha instincts had bypassed simple vigilance and descended into full-blown, unhinged hovering. The formidable ruler who had once faced dark obsidian magic without flinching now spent his days pacing behind his wife, eyeing marble steps like fatal traps and treating mild autumn breezes like catastrophic blizzards."Cassian, it is a leather-bound history ledger, not a broadsword," Zaria sighed, sitting at the mahogany table in the private library, her hands resting over her noticeably rounded belly beneath a soft blue wool gown."It is three hundred pages of dense parchment, Zaria," Cassian replied with complete gravity, taking the book from her hands and placing it neatly onto the desk for her. "The spine is heavy. You shouldn't be lift

Chapter: A whole family againThe quiet of the royal master suite felt vast and holy after the soft rustle of the greenhouse. Warm moonlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling balcony archways, painting long ribbons of silver across the polished dark wood floors and the thick furs of the grand canopy bed.Cassian set me down on the edge of the plush mattress with a gentleness so extreme it made my chest ache. He didn't step back. He didn't pull away to unbuckle his heavy leather bracers or light the fireplace candles.Instead, the formidable Lycan King—the man who had stared down ancient blood-curses, stood unyielding against invading sieges, and ripped rogue warlords from their saddles—sank slowly to his knees right on the cold floorboards before me.He rested his broad forearms on my knees, pressing his forehead directly against my lower belly through the soft fabric of my dress.A ragged, shuddering breath escaped his chest, shaking his massive frame. I felt the hot, wet trace of his tears soaking straight thr

The witch caught between two rivals
When Aria Ashwood wins a rare scholarship to Blackthorn Academy, she believes it's her only chance to escape poverty and build a better future. But Blackthorn isn't just like any other ordinary schools. It is a prestigious academy where witches, werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural heirs are trained.
Aria arrives with a dangerous secret: she is a witch with absolutely no magic. In a world where the weak are preyed upon, her only survival strategy is to stay completely invisible.
She tries everything possible to stay invisible but she soon finds herself caught between two powerful rivals. Kael Nightbane, the arrogant werewolf prince destined to lead the strongest pack in the realm, sees her as a threat he can't ignore. Lucien Vale, the charming vampire heir with a reputation for breaking hearts, seems determined to uncover every secret she hides.
When students begin vanishing from the campus, a dark conspiracy surfaces—one that directly connects Aria's missing magic to a threat capable of destroying the supernatural world.
With danger closing in, loyalty becoming impossible, and her heart torn between two enemies who would do anything to claim it, Aria must decide who she can trust before the academy's darkest secret consumes them all.
But is falling in love really necessary? Because at Blackthorn Academy, falling in love could actually be the most dangerous mistake of all.

Chapter: CHAPTER 14ARIA The next morning, I woke up with one thought firmly planted in my head: I was not looking forward to going to class.It wasn't that I disliked learning. I actually enjoyed it, especially when I understood what I was reading. But after what had happened during the assembly, I wasn't exactly excited about spending another day surrounded by students who seemed convinced I was some kind of walking disaster.Lucy was already awake when I climbed out of bed. She was standing in front of the mirror, fixing her hair."Morning," she said, catching my reflection."Morning."She glanced at me. "You look thrilled.""That's because I can't wait to spend the day with people who think I'm going to destroy the school just by breathing."Lucy laughed. "Ignore them. They'll find something else to talk about eventually.""I hope so."We finished getting ready and headed out for our first class. History.I followed Lucy into the classroom, immediately noticing the way conversations seemed to quiet

Chapter: CHAPTER 13ARIA I struggled against the hand holding me, my heart racing as I tried to figure out who had grabbed me. When I finally turned around, I came face to face with Kael. I stumbled as he pulled me around the corner of the corridor, away from the dormitory door and into a darker stretch of hallway where the wall lights barely reached. My back hit the cold stone. He let go of my arm but stayed close, tall enough that I had to tilt my head up to see his face. Golden eyes caught what little light there was.I almost screamed.He quickly placed a finger against his lips."Keep your voice down," he whispered. "Curfew is already in effect. You want to explain why you’re wandering the halls after hours?”I stared at him, still trying to catch my breath."What is wrong with you?" I whispered angrily. "You can't just grab people like that!"He released my arm and took a step back."I needed to talk to you.""Then you could have called my name like a normal person.“ I snapped, breathing hard. "

Chapter: CHAPTER 12ARIA We found a wide fallen log behind the library, half-hidden by low bushes and far enough from the main paths that the floating lanterns didn’t reach. The three of us sat down, the wood cool and rough under our hands. Above us the sky was clear, thick with stars that looked sharper than any I had ever seen back home.The stars were unusually bright, scattered across the darkness like tiny lights. A cool breeze brushed against my face, and for the first time that day, I felt like I could breathe without worrying about what might happen next.Lucy stretched her legs out in front of her while Elena sat beside me. For a while, none of us spoke. We simply stared at the sky. Lucy was the first to break it. She leaned forward, elbows on her knees, and looked at me sideways."So," she began, turning towards me. "Can I ask you something?"I glanced at her. "Depends on the question.".“So,” she said. “Have you ever had any kind of power surge? Even a small one? Or is it just… nothing?”I s

Chapter: CHAPTER 11ARIA I was sure I'd heard a voice.It had been quiet, almost like a whisper, but there was no mistaking it. Someone had asked if I was okay. I slowly got up from the bed and looked around the room."Hello?"There was no answer.I checked behind the door. Empty. I pulled open the tiny wardrobe and pushed the few clothes aside. Nothing. I even crouched and looked under my own bed, heart hammering, half-expecting to see someone crouched in the shadows. Only dust and the edge of my worn bag.Nothing.Maybe I was imagining things. After everything that had happened in the assembly hall, it wouldn't have been surprising if my mind was playing tricks on me.Still, I wasn't convinced.The second bed—the one that was supposed to belong to a roommate—sat against the opposite wall. The sheets were still messy, pulled halfway off the mattress like whoever slept there had left in a hurry the day before and never come back. I dropped to my knees and peered underneath it, sweeping my hand through t

Chapter: CHAPTER 10ARIA Every single pair of eyes in the assembly hall turned toward me.The silence was so complete I could hear my own heartbeat in my ears. The eagle on my shoulder stayed perfectly still, its talons gripping the fabric of my blazer like it had no intention of leaving. Hundreds of students stared. Some looked confused. Some looked curious. A few already looked unsettled.Principal Seraphine’s voice cut through the quiet.“Miss Ashwood. Please come up to the podium.”My heart skipped.I glanced at the eagle, then towards the principal. There was no way I could pretend she wasn't talking to me."Me?" I asked, although I knew perfectly well that she was."Yes, Aria. Come forward."I took a careful step, afraid the bird might suddenly take off again. It remained on my shoulder as I made my way through the watching students towards the podium. I could hear whispers following me. When I finally reached the front, Seraphine gave me a small nod."Please introduce yourself to the school."I f

Chapter: CHAPTER 9ARIA Elena was still explaining something to me when the doors of the assembly hall opened.I barely paid attention at first, but then I noticed the change in her expression. She looked past my shoulder, sighed, and straightened. I followed her gaze.Kael had just entered. He walked into the hall with the kind of confidence that made people notice him without him having to say a word. His golden eyes moved across the gathering, scanning the students until they settled on me.My stomach tightened.He started walking in our direction."Oh, no," Elena muttered under her breath and stepped slightly in front of me, shoulders squared. It was a small movement, but clear enough. Kael noticed. His steps slowed. For a second I thought he would keep coming anyway. Instead he changed direction without a word and headed toward a group of guys near one of the pillars. He joined them easily, like nothing had happened."Was that really necessary?" I whispered.Elena glanced at me. "Trust me, it was.
