On the third morning, the fever broke.
I did not know where I was when I woke. The dream had been so vivid that, for several seconds, I could not separate it from reality.
I had been standing in Bloodmoon’s Great Hall, sunlight pouring through the high windows. A crown rested on my head. Kael stood beside me, smiling as he rubbed his mother’s emerald ring affectionately on my finger. The crowd chanted congratulations, and his hand felt warm around mine.

Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The King On Trial 1B
JACESomething was wrong with Kael.I had watched him enter the chamber that morning, watched him sit on the throne and endure the accusations without lashing out. Even when Rorik presented the forged letters, Kael had managed to defend himself without giving Liam the outburst he wanted.But now he was fighting something I could not see.His hands were clenched around the throne’s armrests. His claws had begun to emerge, and the muscles in his jaw stood out sharply beneath his skin.He was trembling.I had made certain he drank no wine that morning. I had checked his chambers myself and removed every bottle I found. I had insisted he eat meats and broth before dressing, and I had made him rest early the previous night.I had done everything I could to keep him steady for this hearing.Then I remembered the tonic.An hour before the trial, I had ordered a servant to bring a calming mixture for him. Kael’s hand
Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The King On Trial 1A
KAELThe day of the trial finally arrived.Liam had come prepared for war.Ten warriors disguised as ordinary guards and escorts waited outside the Great Hall, while six elders from High Hill occupied the low stone bench against the far wall. They were the men with the final authority over an Alpha’s crown, the same men my father had treated with caution despite his power.Liam intended to take my throne, whether I surrendered it willingly or he had to force it from me.He had prepared for both possibilities.I entered the chamber wearing my full regalia. My black tunic was fastened beneath a mantle of silver fur, and the heavy crown rested on my head for the first time in weeks.It felt too tight.Every step made the pressure against my skull worse, but I kept my chin raised. I would not give Liam the satisfaction of seeing me falter before the hearing even began.Jace walked beside me in his Beta blacks.H
Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The Child She Called Hindrance
LILYThe work became so much that I could barely breathe.It was never one task. It was everything, from the moment I opened my eyes until my body could no longer carry me.Pound the grain. Carry water. Sweep the floor Eleanor had already ordered me to sweep an hour earlier. Wash the villagers’ clothes. Cook. Scrub the pots. Start again.My arms ached down to the bone. My lower back felt ready to snap, and the pup sat so low in my belly that I had to waddle to keep my balance. Every step sent pain through my hips.That afternoon, I was pounding grain to separate the chaff, the way Eleanor had taught me.I lifted the heavy pestle and brought it down. Turned the grain with my bleeding hands. Lifted it again.Sweat ran down my back and into my eyes. My arms trembled so badly that the pestle wobbled each time I raised it.I should have stopped.I knew that.But Eleanor had already complained twice about how slow
Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The Beta Who Would Not Bow
KAELI reached my chamber still burning with anger.I did not sit. I stood in the middle of the room, staring at the door as though Jace might appear simply because I expected him to.“Bring Jace to me. Now.”The guard stationed outside bowed and hurried away. He knew better than to ask questions when my voice sounded like that.I paced while I waited, my boots striking the stone floor.I was King.He was my Beta.He could not keep treating me as though I were nothing.The guard found Jace outside the palace gate.“My lord, the King commands your presence.”He looked at the chief guard and said, “Tell him I am tired and hungry from the many scrolls he made me read today. Tell him exactly that.”The guard stared at him.“My lord, please. He will be angry if I say exactly that or return without you.”“He is already angry,” Jace s
Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The Hands That Washed For Her
LILYI fainted beside the hearth.One moment, I was stirring the soup, the wooden ladle heavy in my hand, steam dampening my face. The next, the heat became unbearable. The smoke stung my eyes, the smell of boiling herbs turned my stomach, and the weight of the pup low in my belly seemed to drag the rest of me down with it.The room tilted.The ladle struck the pot with a sharp clang.I reached for the hearth to steady myself, but my fingers caught nothing. My hip hit the floor first, then my side. Pain flashed through my lower belly.Everything went black.When I woke, Eleanor stood over me with a wooden bucket.Before I could speak, she tipped the water over my face.Cold water struck my eyes and entered my mouth. I jerked upright, coughing and choking.“Eleanor!”Water streamed down my neck and soaked the front of my dress. My heart hammered against my ribs. The place where I had struck the h
Alpha King’s Regret: Reborn To Reject Him The King Who Begged For Praise
KAELI returned to the council chamber for the first time in weeks.The moment the great doors opened, the hall went silent.Quills stopped scratching. Chairs scraped against the stone. Elders who had been speaking in low voices fell quiet, and the guards lowered their eyes as I entered.They were afraid of me.I could see it in their stiff shoulders and the way they watched my hands. They expected me to draw my sword. Perhaps they thought I had come to finish what I had started the night I killed the water girl.I had not.I had come to take back my seat.The humiliation of the previous night still burned beneath my skin. Jace’s sword at my throat. His power throwing me across my own chambers. His voice warning me that he would take my throne if I threatened the pack again.I had heard those words every time I closed my eyes.I would not allow him to rule in my place another day.Jace sat in front of
