Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 133 — THE WAR DOES NOT KNOCK
The horn sounded again.Closer this time.Low and brutal, vibrating through the marrow of my bones. My wolf snapped fully awake, hackles raised, instincts screaming the same truth my mind was already forming.They weren’t announcing themselves.They were advancing.Aria’s fingers tightened in my sleeve. I felt it immediately—fear restrained by steel, panic held back by sheer will. She followed my gaze toward the treeline where the darkness had begun to move.Not wolves.Not shadows.Something… organized.“Tell me we have more time,” she said quietly.I didn’t lie. “We don’t.”The ground beneath our feet thrummed, the echo of many steps syncing into a single, dreadful rhythm. Torches flickered to life beyond the trees—dozens, then hundreds—casting warped shadows that stretched toward us like grasping hands.“They’re already inside the borders,” Aria breathed.I scanned the horizon, senses flaring unnaturally sharp. The change inside me—the inheritance, the seal—rose instinctively, resp
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 132 — WHEN THE BOND BLEEDS BACK
Pain became light.Light became sound.And sound became Aria.I was aware of her before I was aware of myself—her voice cutting through the roar inside my head, her hands gripping my shoulders as if she could anchor me to the world by force alone.“Killian—stay with me. Please. Don’t you dare leave me.”I tried to answer her. I tried to breathe.The binding tore through me in waves, not like a blade, but like fire poured directly into my veins. The light from the basin had wrapped around my chest, threading into my ribs, my spine, my heart—claiming space that had never belonged to it before.My wolf howled inside me, furious and terrified.This wasn’t dominance.This wasn’t magic as we knew it.This was inheritance.I collapsed fully to the stone floor, palms scraping against symbols that burned at my touch. The hall shook again, a violent tremor that sent cracks racing up the pillars. Dust rained down from the ceiling.Aria dropped to her knees beside me, uncaring of the chaos around
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 131 — THE PATH THAT DOES NOT CLOSE
The passage breathed.That was the first thing I noticed as we stepped forward—stone walls rising and falling almost imperceptibly, like a living thing drawing slow, ancient breaths. The air inside was warmer, heavier, threaded with a low hum that vibrated through bone and blood alike.Aria leaned heavily against me. Her steps were steady but slow, her magic spent enough that the glow beneath her skin had faded to nothing more than a ghost of light. I kept my arm locked around her waist, anchoring her with every step.“Easy,” I murmured. “I’ve got you.”She nodded but didn’t answer right away. Her gaze kept drifting to the markings etched along the walls—symbols older than pack history, older than the language we spoke now. Some pulsed faintly as we passed, others remained dark, dormant.“They’re responding to me,” she said finally, voice hoarse. “Not activating. Just… acknowledging.”That unsettled me more than another collapse would have.“Like they’ve been waiting,” I muttered.“Ye
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 130 — WHEN THE EARTH SWALLOWS LIGHT
The world broke.Not slowly.Not gently.It tore open like a wound that had been waiting to split.“ARIA—!”I lunged forward as the circle shattered, stone erupting upward in a violent spiral. My hand closed on nothing but air as the floor collapsed beneath her feet. Her scream ripped through the bond—sharp, startled, furious—and then she was gone, swallowed by darkness and roaring wind.The bond snapped taut.Not broken.But stretched so violently it felt like my chest was being ripped open from the inside.“No—no—no—” I snarled, shifting mid-fall as the ground gave way beneath me too.I hit hard.Stone slammed into my shoulder. My vision exploded white. Pain detonated through my ribs, but my wolf forced me upright before I could even register it. Dust filled my lungs, thick and choking. The air tasted wrong—ancient, metallic, alive.I forced myself to focus.Aria.The bond still burned.That meant she was alive.That was the only thing that mattered.I staggered to my feet, ignoring
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 129 — THE FIRST BLOOD
The horn’s echo hadn’t finished dying when the wards screamed.Not an alarm.A warning.I felt it rip through the bond first—sharp, violent, deliberate. Aria gasped beside me, fingers digging into my arm as if the sound had struck her physically.“They crossed,” she whispered.I was already moving.“Riven,” I barked, shifting my stance, power rolling outward. “Positions. Inner ring—now.”Steel rang through the tunnels as warriors snapped into motion. The pack didn’t panic. They didn’t hesitate. They hunted.Good.Aria rose with me, her spine straight despite the tremor I felt humming beneath her skin. Magic flickered faintly around her hands—silver threaded with something darker, older.Untrained.But awake.I cupped her face briefly, grounding us both. “You stay with Maerith. Do not chase. Do not engage unless I say so.”Her jaw tightened. “You’re not ordering me.”“No,” I said quietly. “I’m protecting you.”For a heartbeat, we stared at each other—Alpha and equal, instinct and will
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 128 — WHEN THE HUNT BEGINS
The bond didn’t sleep.Neither did I.Long after Aria finally drifted into an uneasy rest, I remained awake beside her, propped against the stone wall of the lower chamber. Her breathing was shallow but even, her fingers still curled loosely into my shirt as if letting go might unravel her entirely.Every breath she took brushed against my chest from the inside.Not metaphorically.Literally.The bond hummed—low, constant, aware. I could feel her dreams stirring, flashes of emotion bleeding through: confusion, fear, fragments of memory that weren’t fully formed yet. Shadow and light tangled together inside her like opposing tides.And gods help me—I felt all of it.I shifted carefully, easing my weight so I wouldn’t wake her. The moment my movement changed, a ripple of unease flared through the bond.She stirred instantly.“Killian…?” Her voice was rough with sleep.“I’m here,” I murmured. “Go back to sleep.”Her grip tightened instead. “Don’t go.”I exhaled slowly and leaned down, br
