The throne loomed before Aria like a living thing. Its jagged edges caught the blue firelight, reflecting cold glints that looked like stars trapped in stone. The air here was different—thicker, humming with power that made the hair on her arms rise.

She took an involuntary step back.

“What is this place?” she asked, though part of her already knew.

The man—tall, dark, and unnervingly calm—walked past her, running his hand along the armrest of the throne. “This is the Hall of the Shadow Crown. The seat of the first rulers. And you…” He turned, his eyes gleaming. “…are their last descendant.”

Aria shook her head. “That’s impossible. I was born in the pack. My parents—”

“Were not your parents,” he cut in smoothly. “At least, not by blood. The Alpha who raised you was sworn to protect you, but he could not hide you forever. Not from me. Not from destiny.”

His words made her stomach twist. She wanted to call him a liar, but the bond thrummed inside her chest, vibrating like a string pulle

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret   CHAPTER 101 — When the Ceiling Split and the World Fell

    The sound was not a crack.It was a tear—like the world itself being ripped open.The stone overhead split in a blinding flash, the golden seal shattering into spirals of light and jagged rubble. A violent shockwave surged through the hall, throwing Aria backward. Killian lunged for her, arms outstretched—But the floor buckled first.“ARIA—!” Killian’s roar was devoured in the explosion of dust.The ceiling collapsed.Massive slabs of granite thundered down. The runic pillars flickered, then snapped apart. The walls groaned like dying beasts. The air turned thick, choking, filled with shards of stone, burning magic, and the metallic scent of blood.Aria scrambled to her feet, coughing, eyes burning from smoke. She barely had a heartbeat to register the disaster before a boulder the size of a wolf slammed into the floor beside her, showering her with debris.The creature—still half-shrouded in shadow—shrieked, its voice slicing the air like a blade.Killian’s wolf form burst forward,

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret   Chapter 100 — The Line That Cannot Break

    The world stayed unnervingly still after the blast swallowed the corridor—too still, like the air itself was holding its breath. Dust floated in slow, drifting clouds. Shattered stone lay in jagged heaps. The only sound was the faint crackling of energy still fading from Killian’s shield.Aria pushed herself upright, her palms trembling, her ears ringing. She felt like she had been thrown through time. Her vision steadied just enough to locate Killian where he knelt a few feet away, one knee on the ground, shoulders shaking from the force of the explosion he had taken head-on.“Killian.” Her voice was barely air.He lifted his head. His silver eyes—always bright, always sharp—were dimmed, like a lantern guttering at the end of its wick.“I’m fine,” he murmured, even though he coughed blood into his hand. “Are you hurt?”She crawled to him—her legs weren’t ready to take her weight yet—and cupped his face with shaking fingers. He leaned into her palm with a small sigh, like the contact

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret    chapter 99 - The Veil Before the Storm Breaks

    AriaThe world felt like it had paused for a single, fragile heartbeat.Killian’s fingers were still wrapped around mine from where he had pulled me out of the collapsing hallway, dust swirling around us like a storm of powdered ruin. His breath was harsh, uneven, his eyes burning with that mixture of fear and fury he tried so hard to hide from me.And yet… everything else around us kept moving—guards shouting instructions, healers rushing past, the crackle of fading magic in the air. But Killian’s gaze never left mine.“You’re hurt,” he murmured, voice low, but the edge of panic gave him away.“I’m fine,” I lied, forcing myself upright even though my legs trembled.Killian didn’t buy it for a second. His jaw tightened. “Aria.”The way he said my name made warmth pull at my chest. But I couldn’t collapse now. Not yet. Not when everything was spiraling faster than we could grasp.“We need to know who set this explosion,” I whispered, looking back at the ruined section of the east wing.

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret   Chapter 98 – “The Form Chosen by Love”

    ARIAThe world dissolved into white fire.Pain lanced through me—sharp, consuming, ancient. It wasn’t just physical; it tore through every memory, every bone, every corner of my soul. I felt Killian’s scream ripping through our bond, vibrating inside my ribcage like thunder trapped beneath skin.The Veil reacted instantly.It didn’t accept us.It didn’t reject us.It studied us.The light pressed inward, peeling us apart, examining every thread of who we were. My form started dissolving, becoming particles of silver dust swirling around the man I had just bound to myself.Killian collapsed to his knees, clutching his chest, gasping as if his lungs were filling with lightning.“Aria—!”He reached for me, but his hand passed through my dissolving shape.I wasn’t solid anymore.I wasn’t fading.I was changing.The Veil whispered through the storm:“She offers you her form.Do you accept the shape of the Forsaken Queen?”Killian didn’t hesitate. He lifted his face to the blinding light an

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret   Chapter 97 – “When the Veil Trembles”

    KILLIANPain didn’t just burn — it cored me out, hollowing me like a blade carving through bone.The ritual pulled my soul from my body in long, tearing strands. Every second felt like death, rebirth, and annihilation stitched together. This wasn’t meant for the living, and every part of the Veil made that perfectly clear.The sky above me exploded into light.Wind slammed into me so hard it threw me to my knees.The runes around the circle lifted from the dirt, spinning wildly like a whirlwind of glowing symbols.My tether stood outside the ring, hands pressed into the sigils, screaming through clenched teeth as the ritual drained them.“Hold on!” I shouted, though my voice was barely a breath.They looked at me through streaming tears.“I— I’m trying!”A shockwave blasted outward. Trees snapped in half. The ground cracked like an earthquake.Then—Something grabbed my chest.Not physically.Not magically.It was Aria.A gravitational pull, soft but unbearably strong.Like she was re

  • Alpha's Rejected Secret   Chapter 96 – “The King Who Defied Heaven”

    Killian’s POVThe world was too quiet.Too normal.Too alive.And I hated it.The forest around me breathed as if nothing had happened, as if the woman I loved hadn’t just been taken into a realm that wasn’t meant for the living.Her warmth lingered on my skin, on the wind, in the faint echo of the bond still thudding weakly inside my chest. But it wasn’t enough.She wasn’t here.Not in my arms.Not in my world.And that was something I refused to live with.I pushed myself to my feet, hands shaking. The earth beneath me still smelled of burnt sigils and shattered fate. The ancient creature’s laughter lingered in the air, mocking me.I’d get her back.Even if it meant destroying every realm that stood between us.The Sigil burned under my skin, pulsing with a rage that didn’t feel like mine. No — it felt deeper. Older. Like the ancient shadow had awakened something sleeping inside my blood.I didn’t know what it was yet.But I knew it would help me tear reality open if I needed to.“
