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
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 144 — THE WEIGHT OF CHOICE
The storm did not touch the stronghold, but everyone felt it.Thunder rolled again in the distance, slow and deliberate, like the sky itself was thinking before it spoke. The air remained heavy long after the Herald vanished, the glow of the runes fading until only faint scars remained on the stone wall.No one moved.Wolves stood frozen where they were, breaths shallow, instincts screaming. Even the elders—men and women who had seen wars, betrayals, and blood moons—looked shaken.Killian was the first to move.“Clear the chamber,” he ordered, his Alpha voice cutting through the haze. “Now.”The command snapped everyone back into motion. Guards ushered the scouts out. Elders exchanged uneasy glances before retreating slowly, murmuring under their breath. Rowan lingered, watching Aria with sharp concern, but even he obeyed when Killian met his eyes.Soon, only three of them remained.The silence that followed was heavier than the noise before it.Aria leaned back against the stone wall
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 143 — WHEN THE WORLD ANSWERS BACK
Darkness swallowed the corridor.For a heartbeat, Aria couldn’t see anything—only feel. The hum deepened, vibrating through the soles of her feet and straight into her bones, like the stronghold itself had become a living thing with a pulse of its own.Killian’s hand tightened around hers instantly.“Stay with me,” he said, his voice low and commanding, cutting through the dark like steel.“I’m not going anywhere,” she replied, though her heart was racing.The torches flickered back to life one by one, flames flaring higher than normal, burning with an unnatural blue edge before settling into amber again. The air smelled sharp—ozone and old magic, layered over stone and wolf.The scout took an uneasy step back. “Alpha… the marks are spreading.”Killian’s expression hardened. “Show us.”They moved quickly through the halls, boots echoing against stone as unease rippled through the stronghold. Wolves emerged from side corridors, drawn by instinct more than sound. Whispers followed them
