Alpha's Rejected Secret Chapter 150 — The Debt of Blood
The silence lingered long after the shadows disappeared.No one spoke.The forest stood unnaturally still, as though even the night itself was holding its breath. The wards hummed faintly beneath Aria’s skin, a low vibration that refused to settle, like a warning etched into her bones.Killian didn’t loosen his grip on her.If anything, his hold tightened—possessive, protective, furious. His wolf pressed hard against his restraint, pacing, snarling, demanding blood for a threat that had already vanished.“They’re gone,” one of the guards muttered, uncertainty threaded through his voice.“For now,” Riven replied grimly.Aria swallowed, her throat dry. The echo of the figure’s words still rang in her mind.Anchors can be cut.Her gaze lifted slowly to Killian’s face.He felt it.He always did.His jaw clenched, eyes darkening as they met hers. “Don’t,” he said quietly. “Don’t even think it.”“I wasn’t—”“You were,” he cut in, lowering his voice so only she could hear. “And I won’t allow
Alpha's Rejected Secret Chapter 149 — The Price That Breathes
The dream came without warning.Aria didn’t fall asleep so much as slip—like the world tilted and she lost her footing.She stood barefoot on cold stone, the sensation sharp and real beneath her feet. The air smelled ancient, dust and ash and something older than memory. Above her, the sky was wrong—no stars, no moon, just a vast expanse of slow-moving darkness, layered like ink in water.She knew immediately this wasn’t a dream.Dreams didn’t feel this aware.“Killian?” she called, her voice echoing too far, too hollow.No answer.Her magic stirred uneasily, rippling beneath her skin like a living thing testing its boundaries. With each breath, the darkness seemed to respond—shifting, listening.Then the ground beneath her pulsed.Once.Twice.A heartbeat.The stone split with a low, resonant sound, not cracking but opening, like something exhaling after a long sleep. Pale light seeped through the fissures, curling upward in thin ribbons.And from it—A figure rose.Not solid. Not en
Alpha's Rejected Secret Chapter 148 — The Weight of What Woke
The night did not return to normal.That was the first thing Aria understood as she stood on the balcony, mist still coiling far below like a living thing pretending to sleep. The stars remained in place. The moon still hung heavy and bright. The fortress walls stood solid beneath her palms.But something fundamental had shifted.The world had noticed her.Killian didn’t let go of her hand. If anything, his grip tightened, thumb brushing slow, deliberate circles against her skin—grounding her, reminding her she was not alone in this moment, even if something ancient had just spoken her name into the dark.Behind them, the fortress stirred. Guards moved faster now, their footsteps sharper, voices low and tense. Orders were being passed. Wards were being reinforced. Everyone felt it, even if they didn’t fully understand it.Riven broke the silence at last. “That wasn’t a probe,” he said grimly. “It wasn’t testing defenses.”Aria swallowed. “It was confirming.”Killian turned to her, eye
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 147 — THE WEIGHT OF WATCHING EYES
The council chamber had never felt so crowded.Aria could feel the attention before she even crossed the threshold—dozens of gazes snapping toward her like hooks sinking into skin. Alphas. Betas. Elders. Some curious. Some wary. Some openly hostile.And all of them measuring her.She kept her spine straight and her steps even, refusing to let the tension show. Killian walked beside her, close enough that their shoulders brushed. It wasn’t accidental. It was a message.She is not alone.The chamber doors closed behind them with a heavy boom that echoed through the stone hall.Silence followed.Then murmurs.“She feels different…” “That aura—” “Is it true she carries—”“Enough.”Killian’s voice cut through the whispers like steel through silk. The room quieted instantly.Aria took her place beside him at the center dais, her pulse steady despite the storm beneath her skin. The pull she’d felt earlier was stronger here—thick, buzzing, as if the very stones beneath her feet were listening
Alpha's Rejected Secret Chapter 146 — Fault Lines
The war room smelled of ink, stone, and restrained fury.Maps were spread across the central table, weighted at the corners by blades and rune-stones. Candles burned low, their flames bending slightly as if the air itself hadn’t fully settled since the stranger’s visit.Aria stood at the table’s edge, her palms pressed flat against the ancient wood.The ground beneath the pack hadn’t shaken—but something deeper had shifted. She could still feel it, a low vibration in her chest, like a distant drumbeat echoing through her blood.“They didn’t breach our borders,” one of the elders said carefully. “They announced themselves.”“That’s worse,” another muttered.Killian stood opposite Aria, arms folded, jaw tight. His Alpha presence was coiled tight beneath his skin—controlled, contained, but ready to snap.“They wanted us to know we’ve been seen,” he said. “And that hiding is no longer an option.”Riven leaned against a pillar, arms crossed. “Whoever that was… they weren’t bluffing. I’ve s
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 145 — FAULT LINES
Morning did not bring peace.It brought whispers.The rain had washed the stone courtyards clean, but it could not rinse away fear. Aria felt it the moment she stepped out of Killian’s chambers—an invisible tension stretched across the stronghold like a fault line waiting to split.Wolves bowed as they passed her, but it was different now.Not reverence.Not loyalty.Awareness.Killian noticed it too. His hand remained firmly at the small of her back, a silent claim and a shield all at once. His presence radiated Alpha authority, daring anyone to look too long, think too hard.But fear did not need permission.They reached the council hall to find the elders already gathered.Too early.Too quiet.“That was fast,” Killian muttered.“Fear moves faster than orders,” Aria replied softly.The doors shut behind them with a heavy thud.Elder Morven was the first to speak. “We felt the disturbance last night.”Killian didn’t bother with pleasantries. “You felt part of it.”A murmur rippled t
