My eyes widened in alarm. I snatched the towel, clutching it tightly against my chest before it could fall.

"Leave, Kaelan," I muttered, but my voice was a shaky whisper.

"You want me to leave?" he asked, a knowing smirk twisting his lips. "Then why haven't you pushed me away yet?"

My gaze dropped to his hand, still searing a brand through the towel and into my waist.

"Leave!" I said, more firmly this time, and finally shoved against the solid wall of his chest.

He released me with a dark chuc

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE

    ISOLDE'S POVMy leg tapped against the floor in rhythm. I was trying to control how nervous and scared I felt, but it was not working.I gulped down the little alcohol left in the jar beside me and closed my eyes as it burned my throat.Alpha Kael would come for me. I was sure of that. Someone had reported that my family's crest was found at the scene where Asher attacked. So he must have known that I was at the palace and that I had a hand in the abduction of that wretched Luna and her son.How could I have been so careless?This was the height of carelessness. If care was not taken, it might cost me my life.My own foolishness.I picked up the jar again. When I realized I had emptied the bottle, a wave of rage surged through me. I threw the jar away angrily, shattering it into pieces. The maids beside me jolted and hurried to clean up the mess.I stretched out my hand, and another jar full of alcohol was placed in my palm. I might as well drink myself to death before I was actually

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER EIGHTY

    SERAPHINA'S POVThe soldiers had arranged for movement back to the palace. SUVs lined the edge of the forest, their headlights cutting through the darkness. Guards stood at attention, waiting for orders. Nathan was already settled in one of the vehicles, asleep in a makeshift bassinet one of the soldiers had fashioned from a crate and blankets.But before Kaelan and I got into the vehicle that would take us back, I pulled his hand.He stopped. Turned. Looked at me with a bit of curiosity and something else. Uncertainty."Hey... can I talk to you for a while?" I asked, pulling him aside.He followed me without saying a word. We walked a few paces away from the vehicles, away from the soldiers, away from the lights. The forest was dark here, the moonlight filtering through the trees in pale silver streaks.I stopped. Turned to face him."Kaelan...""I'm sorry." He stared deeply into my eyes. His voice was raw. Broken in a way I had never heard before. "I failed you, Seraphina. I did. I

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    SEVENTY NINE

    KAELAN'S POVThe word hung in the air like a death sentence.Found you.Asher's smile was cold, triumphant. His sword pressed deeper against Seraphina's back. Just a fraction. Just enough to draw a thin line of blood.I saw it drip down her spine.My vision went red, and my fists folded. Tempest surged inside me, clawing at my chest, begging to be released. I wanted to shift. I wanted to tear Asher's throat out with my bare hands. I wanted to make him suffer for every second he had touched her, every moment he had made her afraid.But the sword was still at her back, so I couldn't make any move yet.One wrong move and it would go through her. Through Nathan.I forced myself to breathe. Forced myself to think."Let her go." My voice was low. Deadly. "This is between you and me."Asher tilted his head, amused. "Is it? Because from where I'm standing, she seems very much involved. And too bad there's nothing you can do about it. You're not so stupid.""She has nothing to do with Alyssa.

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT

    KAELAN'S POVThe forest had been lying to me for hours.Every trail I followed, every scent I caught, every broken branch I found. It all led nowhere. Circles within circles. A maze of false hope designed to keep me running while Seraphina waited somewhere in the dark, alone, scared, probably wondering if I was even coming for her.At this point, I was damn frustrated.I stopped in the middle of a small clearing. The moon hung overhead, pale and indifferent. My chest heaved. My hands were bloody from punching trees, from tearing through branches, from gripping my sword so tight my knuckles had gone white.Think.I closed my eyes. Forced myself to breathe. Forced myself to focus past the rage clouding my mind.The scent was wrong. Too strong in some places. Too faint in others. Deliberately laid. Like someone had walked one direction, then doubled back, then sent another wolf in a completely different direction just to confuse me.The person who did this had to be someone who was reall

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN

    SERAPHINA'S POVThe rope had been cutting into my wrists for what felt like hours. It was thick, knotted tight. It would take me quite a while to wriggle and break free. But I had to try. I had to escape. I had to save Nathan and be with my Alpha again.I didn't know what Asher was capable of. I doubted he wouldn't kill me when he got mad or felt like it. And since Isolde said Kaelan had been misled, he most likely wasn't going to find us. Even if he did, it might be too late. I couldn't just sit here and wait for him.I continued wriggling, trying to find my way around the knotted rope. But it was tied too tight. Still, I didn't stop. Couldn't stop. Every twist, every pull, every scream of pain from my raw skin was worth it if it meant getting free.Nathan was crying now. Not the soft whimper from before. A real cry. Hungry. Scared.Asher's words echoed in my head."Listen to your son cry for milk you can't give him."Rage burned through me. Hotter than the cold of this stone tomb. I

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX

    SERAPHINA'S POVThe first thing I felt was cold.Not the gentle chill of a winter night. This was deep. Bone-deep. The kind of cold that seeped into your veins and made you forget what warmth felt like.The second thing I heard was silence.No guards. No healers. No Kaelan's voice booming through the corridor.Just... nothing.I tried to open my eyes. My eyelids felt heavy, like someone had pressed weights against them. I tried again. Slowly, the darkness blurred into shapes.Stone ceiling. Flickering torchlight. Shadows dancing on the walls.Where am I? I was in the private hospital just now. What happened? Is Kaelan safe?I tried to move. My wrists were tied. Rough rope bit into my skin. My ankles too.Panic clawed at my chest.Nathan.I turned my head, ignoring the pain that shot through my neck.He was there. In a small bassinet a few feet away. Sleeping. Unharmed.Relief flooded through me. Then rage.Who took us?The answer came as footsteps echoed from the shadows.---A figure

  • Bound To The Alpha I Rejected    CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

    SERAPHINA'S POVI took steady, measured breaths as I followed Kaelan through the castle’s silent corridors. When I turned toward the wing that housed my rooms, his voice stopped me.“Where are you going?”“To my room.”“To do what?” Irritation edged his tone. “Follow me.”He led me down a differen

    SERAPHINA'S POVI stood rooted to the spot, blinking as if to clear a haze. My composure was a fragile shell, and I felt it crack with the slight tremor in my voice. "Why am I here?" I asked; trying to sound as composed as I could. But I think my voice gave me off, as I saw Kaelan smirk. He turn

    “Ivanna?” I called as she arranged the latest batch of dresses delivered to my chambers.That was the routine. Every week, a silent procession of servants brought silks, velvets, and jewels. My closet was a bursting museum of finery I hadn’t chosen. Not that I complained about the clothes themselve

    KAELAN'S POVMy phone chimed with a report from the guard tasked with monitoring Seraphina's movements."The Grand Empress visited the Luna's chambers this afternoon."I arched a brow. The old viper had been coiled in silent resentment since I’d put her in her place. What poison was she trying to d
