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
Alpha's Rejected Secret CHAPTER 142 — THE WEIGHT OF BEING CHOSEN
The silence after the shimmer faded was heavier than the pressure that had come before it.It wasn’t empty.It was expectant.Aria stood at the edge of the ridge long after the others had stepped back, her gaze fixed on the place where the sky still looked… wrong. Not cracked. Not broken. Just aware. As if the world itself had inhaled and was waiting to see what she would do next.Killian didn’t rush her. He stayed close, his presence a steady heat at her side, close enough that their arms brushed whenever the wind shifted. He could feel it too—whatever had changed. The air carried a new tension, one that settled into his bones like a coming storm.Rowan cleared his throat behind them. “We should head back. Nightfall’s coming fast.”Aria nodded absently, but she didn’t turn right away. “It’s not over,” she said quietly.Rowan sighed. “Nothing ever is.”They moved back toward the stronghold as dusk bled across the horizon, the sky bruised purple and gold. The pack kept their distance—n
Alpha's Rejected Secret Chapter 141: What the World Demands
Morning came without warmth.The sky lightened, but the weight in the air remained—thick, unmoving, like the world itself hadn’t decided whether to let the sun rise properly. Aria woke before the camp stirred, her body tense, her mind already racing with echoes of the night before.The hum was gone.That frightened her more than if it had remained.She lay still for a long moment, staring at the canvas ceiling of the tent, listening to the slow, even breathing beside her. Killian slept on his back, one arm thrown over his eyes, his other hand resting near hers as if even in sleep he needed to know she was still there.She turned her head slightly, studying him.He looked different when he slept. Younger. Less burdened. The sharp lines of command softened, replaced by something achingly human. This was the man the world never saw—the man who carried everyone else and never asked to be carried in return.And yet… last night, he had chosen to stand beside her anyway.Aria closed her eyes
