REBIRTH: THIS TIME ILL MAKE YOU BEG, ALPHA
"You begged me to believe you, Elara. I should have. I'll spend the rest of my life paying for not believing you."
Elara Voss died alone in a dungeon. Chained, starved, rejected by her own mate, the Alpha King Kaelen Draven. Convicted of a crime she never committed. The crime her sweet step-sister Lyra cried about while wearing Elara's stolen mate mark.
In her last breath Elara cursed the Moon Goddess and swore revenge.
When she opened her eyes she was eighteen again. The night before her mating ceremony. The night before everything would go wrong.
This time she's not the trembling girl who begged Kaelen to love her. This time she walks into the ceremony, looks the Alpha King in the eyes and rejects him first.
But the Moon Goddess has a cruel sense of humor. The mate bond didn't break. It snapped back stronger. Now the Alpha who once rejected her can't sleep, can't eat, can't breathe without her. Her step-sister Lyra is terrified she's somehow remembered. And Elara is the one holding every card.
She doesn't want his love anymore.
She wants him to beg.

Chapter: Chapter 31Elara’s POVPlop.Another hard cherry pit sailed cleanly through the leaves, landing right into the center of Lyra’s perfect golden curls."Ugh! What is wrong with this disgusting garden?" Lyra hissed, violently swatting at the top of her head as she took a frantic step backward. She was practically vibrating with anxiety under the pale moonlight, her face turning a sour shade of pale. "Cassian, I am serious! Something keeps hitting me! These oversized palace bugs are completely out of control. We need to leave right now before one of them ruins my silk.""It's just the old dropping acorns, Lyra, shut up and listen," Cassian muttered, not even looking up as his fingers traced the heavy wax seal on his leather scroll case.I leaned my back against the rough tree trunk, casually swinging one boot over the empty air as I popped another dark fruit into my mouth. This was honestly better than any theater performance in the capital. The two vipers were standing thirty feet directly beneath

Chapter: Chapter 30Kaelen’s POVMy eyes snapped open, my body bolting upright in bed as a sudden, shockwave of adrenaline crashed straight through the locked mate bond.I was gasping for air, my chest heaving up and down under the sheets as a cold sweat broke out across my forehead. I threw my head back, my hand instantly flying to the crescent birthmark behind my left ear. It wasn't humming anymore; it was violently vibrating with an electric current that felt like a literal live wire pressing against my pulse. It was 11:45 PM.The adrenaline hitting my system wasn't mine. It was hers.But it wasn't the frantic panic of a girl running for her life; it was this icy, calculated thrill mixed with an intense, suffocating level of stealth. Through our locked wire, Elara’s mind was broadcasting a heavy, dead silence—a quiet, dangerous focus that told me she was actively hunting in the dark. My inner wolf instantly stood up in the back of my mind, his ears pinned back as he let out a low, menacing growl. He k

Chapter: Chapter 29Elara’s POV"Pick up the pace, you sloths!" I shouted from my comfortable spot on the stone balcony, taking a slow sip of my morning tea. "A three-legged mule could complete this perimeter track faster than a royal vanguard squad! Move it!"Down in the main courtyard, fifty low-ranking enforcers were currently questioning every single choice that had led them to a career in the royal military. Kaelen’s traditional leadership had left these guards looking too stiff, comfortable, and lazy. They spent their days standing like stone statues outside empty ballrooms, completely soft from years of predictable palace schedules.Not under my watch. I had commanded Wren to gather them at dawn, and now the central training yard had been completely transformed into a ridiculous, high-intensity obstacle course."Keep your footing on the grease, boys!" Wren yelled, standing near the center ring with his arms crossed, a wicked grin plastered across his face.A row of six heavy wooden logs had been

Chapter: Chapter 28Kaelen’s POVThe midnight-blue roses hissed as the fire swallowed the rare, velvety petals, turning the expensive stems to black ash in a matter of seconds. I slammed my hand against the stone mantelpiece, my chest heaving up and down as a rough, monstrous growl tore out of my throat."I am going to rip his throat out," I muttered, my eyes flashing a dangerous, blinding gold in the dim light of the study."You look like a complete lunatic, Kaelen," Idris said flat out from the doorway. He walked into the room, carrying a fresh stack of diplomatic letters and pack treaties, completely ignoring the smoke rising from the hearth. He stopped a few feet away from the desk, looking at the empty vase I’d violently cleaned out ten minutes ago after sneaking into Elara's outer lounge to snatch Cassian's stupid gift. "Are you seriously breaking royal protocol over a bouquet of flowers? You're the Alpha King, not a jealous teenager tracking his crush in the corridors.""He was standing in her spa

Chapter: Chapter 27Elara’s POVI pushed right past a completely stunned Kaelen, the stiff fabric of my silver-trimmed jacket brushing against his chest as I left him standing frozen between the high shelves. I didn't turn back to watch him try to process my words. I had actual work to do, and the Alpha King’s lingering shock was just white noise buzzing behind my left ear.I headed deeper into the archive vaults, my boots clicking softly against the old stone floor as the overhead torches grew sparse. The air back here smelled like decaying parchment and centuries of dust, a dead zone where the palace staff rarely ventured. I reached the very end of the historic aisle, slid my fingers along the hidden groove of a rotting wooden panel, and pushed.The wall gave way with a low, scraping groan, revealing a small, secret back room illuminated by a single candle.Queen Mother Alaria was already waiting for me, sitting at a small iron table. She looked pale, her features drawn tight under her regal headpiece,

Chapter: Chapter 26Kaelen’s POVThe high dining hall was way too loud for the middle of the morning. Lyra was currently having a full-blown, hysterical meltdown right in front of the entire royal court, her breathless shrieks echoing against the ceiling like a wounded animal."It's a mistake! There is no way my father would just abandon me!" Lyra sobbed, her hands clawing desperately at the fabric of her wet gown as tears ran down her pale cheeks. She looked completely undone, her perfect blonde curls sticking to her face as her chest heaved with wild breaths. "Kaelen, please! You have to do something! He was perfectly fine yesterday! Someone forced him to do this! Someone threatened him!"I didn't move a single inch to help her. I didn't offer her a tissue, I didn't reach out to pat her shoulder, and I didn't give her a single shred of royal comfort.My eyes were completely locked on the archway across the room, unbothered by the screaming theater production happening in the center of the floor.She ca
