“I thought rejection would sever the bond. But now it lives inside me like a ghost — and he’s the one being haunted.”

The eastern wing was nothing like the healer's quarters I was used to.

This place spoke of history and reverence. The walls here weren't the simple stone of the main pack house but something older, etched with patterns that seemed to shift when viewed from different angles. There was a weight to the air, a sense of time suspended, as if these rooms had witnessed centuries pass while remaining unchanged.

The ceilings were vaulted, carved with silver filigree. Intricate patterns of moons and stars and wolves in various phases of transformation spread across the arched surface, catching what little light filtered through the tall windows and reflecting it back in mesmerizing patterns. I found myself staring up at them, tracing the constellations with my eyes, wondering how many others had lain awake doing the same throughout the centuries.

    The storm didn't stay confined to the estate walls. Gossip was a living thing, and it needed room to breathe, to grow, to spread its wings.By the second evening, I realized the whispers had spread like wildfire, slipping past guards who were supposed to keep secrets, past gates that were meant to contain information, past borders.In the dining hall, I caught the wary looks of visiting envoys. Men with silvered hair and heavy cloaks that spoke of long journeys and important business. They paused mid-conversation when I walked past, their weathered faces turning toward me like sunflowers following the sun.But there was nothing warm in their attention.Their eyes narrowed as they took in my appearance, cataloging every detail for later discussion. Their lips curled around my name as though it were something foul on their tongues, something distasteful they'd rather spit out than swallow.I didn't need to hear every word to understand the gist of their conversations. The tone was unive

  • Alpha’s Rejected Healer   Chapter 21 - Whispers in the Dark

    EVELYN'S POV:Three days had passed since that night, yet every whisper in these halls still carried my name like a curse that wouldn't break.The walls of Kael's estate were not quiet. They had ears, and worse—they had tongues. Sharp, cutting tongues that dissected every moment, every glance, every breath I took within these stone corridors.For three days—its been three days since that night, and I had tried to bury myself in silence, to force my mind into stillness like a monk seeking enlightenment in meditation. But silence, I learned, doesn't mean peace. It only sharpens the sound of whispers that crawl under doors like poisonous smoke, weave through corridors like invisible serpents, and coil themselves into your veins until you almost start believing the venom they carry.I sat cross-legged near the wide windowsill of my room, morning light spilling over the polished stone floor. The stone was cold against my skin, but I welcomed the discomfort—it kept me grounded, kept me pres

    The silence after Dax's departure pressed down heavier than the night itself, suffocating and complete.His words still echoed in the empty room, each one burrowing into me like poisoned arrows that I couldn't pull free. Dependent. Weak. Mark her. Keep her forever. The suggestions circled in my mind like vultures, picking at what remained of my pride.I ground my teeth, fists tightening against the arms of the chair until the expensive leather creaked under the pressure. My knuckles were white, every muscle in my body coiled tight as a spring ready to snap. My wolf paced restlessly inside me, snarling and clawing at the edges of my control like a caged animal desperate for freedom.He didn't care about pride. Didn't care about appearances or what it meant to be Alpha. All he wanted—all he needed—was her. Her touch. Her scent. Her presence to make him whole again.Go to her.The command wasn't mine. It was his, raw and insistent and almost feral in its intensity. The urge hit me like a

    "Dax," I muttered, letting my head fall back against the chair. The leather was cool against my heated skin. My eyes closed again, more out of irritation than exhaustion, though both were true. "You'd better not get on my nerves right now."My tolerance for conversation—for anything that required me to pretend I was functioning like a normal person—was hanging by a thread."Trust me," he said flatly, his voice carrying an edge I didn't often hear from him. He moved deeper into the room, sinking into the chair opposite mine with practiced ease. "I don't want to be here either. But someone has to ask the question."I didn't move. Didn't even twitch. I could feel his stare boring into me, could sense the weight of whatever he was about to say pressing down on the space between us. Silence stretched like a rubber band pulled to its breaking point, tension building with each passing second until he finally leaned forward."So," Dax said, his voice sharp enough to cut glass, "you finally ma

  • Alpha’s Rejected Healer   20- Fractured Dawn

    Kael's POV:The night had ended hours ago, but sleep had not come. It never did—not when she haunted every thought, every breath, every heartbeat that felt too slow without her presence to quicken it.It was five in the morning, the hour when the world felt neither alive nor dead, just caught in between like a held breath. My study was silent except for the slow, methodical tick of the clock mounted on the wall—each second marking time I'd lost to this obsession, this weakness that clawed at me from the inside out.I sat slouched in the leather chair behind my desk, the expensive material creaking under my weight. My eyes were closed, but I wasn't resting—couldn't rest, wouldn't rest. I was trying to wrestle the storm inside me into submission, trying to cage the beast that roared her name with every breath.But my wolf wouldn't quiet.He paced beneath my skin like a caged animal, restless and desperate and half-mad with need. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. Evelyn. The memory
