Maelis

I walked into Father's office, holding the heavy oak door and closing it softly behind me.

Father was standing close to the floor-to-ceiling window, his back turned to me. He was watching the snow fall over the estate grounds. The moment the door clicked shut, he slowly turned. His steely gray eyes dissected me instantly, looking for cracks in the armor he had built.

“Maelis,” he called.

A shiver ran down my spine, though I remained calm on the surface.

“Father,” I called back, not breaking eye contact. “You called for me.”

He didn't answer right away. Instead, he just threw me a look that made me feel five years old again, before heading to his massive mahogany table. He plopped himself down in his leather chair.

“I see you met your mother,” he said, ignoring my question entirely.

I stiffened. “She came to check on me.”

“Your mother doesn't care, Maelis,” he said dismissively. “Katerina... is unstable. And I have been trying to keep you away from that path. Away from all that

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 109: Five minutes

    Maelis Two Hours LaterI paced around my room, my heart racing.Everything was falling apart.If I had known he was going to release his aura on me, I would've come up with a back up plan, but I wasn't even given a minute to myself. I just woke up for goodness sake! But now he knows Rosa is gone. And what's a Rolkov without their wolves? What's me without Rosa?He hadn't said it outright, but the way he had dismissed me without a word about our past agreement, locking me in here right after tells a lot... he knew I was broken.And he has no use for broken things.Therefore it was only a matter of time before he came for me. And when that time came, I wouldn't be able to get myself out of here, let alone my mother. So I had to act fast.I opened the door.Ronan was standing guard there, his face hard like stone. “Can you step out of the way, I need to take care of something.” “I’m sorry but you have to stay in your room, Lady Maelis, Alpha Alaric orders you not to go out.” he said

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 107: The promise/ built to protect a secret

    Lucian’s POV“Does that change the fact that we were let in on less information and had us going about looking for some lady who supposedly stole from you? While in fact, you’ve been shielding her all along!”Tyler’s voice was the loudest of the Council members. As their leader, it was understandable that he was the voice of their collective indignation.I leaned back in my chair, unbothered.“She went back,” I replied without much emotion. I’d rather be anywhere but here, facing this legislative circus that was established to keep “checks and balances” on Alphas.“You let her go back?” Tyler’s jaw almost fell to the ground.“If you are asking if I was there when she went back, and I allowed her... yes, you’re right. I did.”“Though you’re free to go bring her back here to justice,” I continued, my voice smooth. “Just one thing—she didn't take anything of mine, so you can't charge her with theft. And lest I forget... just hope you know that before you get to her, you must know you don

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 106: Fought like a badger

    Maelis’s POV I woke up disoriented. The afternoon light pierced through the heavy curtains, stinging my eyes. My head felt heavy, and breathing was a chore. I pulled myself up, sitting against the headboard. The room was unfamiliar at first glance but then the familiarity settled in. I reached up instinctively to touch my face. And just as I suspected, my fingers brushed against cold, hard metal. The silver mask was back in place, perfectly secured. Exhaustion, anxiety, and fear crashed down on me all at once. I threw the covers off and swung my legs to the floor. My knees wobbled as I stood up, making for the door. A small part of me hoped this was a dream, that I would open the door and find Melanie. But upon opening the door— “Boss!” Luka’s scream almost made me deaf. He jumped on me immediately, his momentum causing both of us to stumble backward, knocking us hard against the wall. “Ouch! What's gotten into you?” I groaned, grimacing at the pain radiating through my

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 105: Imposter

    Maelis POV I swung the metal pipe with every ounce of strength I had, aiming right for the center of the glass. CLANG! The impact vibrated right up to my shoulder socket. The glass didn’t even crack. Instead, the force rebounded, sending a shockwave that felt like it was going to rip my muscles apart through my arm. I dropped the pipe, gasping in pain, clutching my numbing wrist. Inside the box, Lucian had slumped to the floor. His eyes were half-closed, his chest heaving as he fought the gas. Kellan was already unconscious beside him. “Selene, stop!” Melanie rushed toward me and grabbed my shoulder, “It’s reinforced! You can’t break it!” She yelled, trying to pull me away, toward the exit. “We have to go. We can get people to help them out of here, but we’re going to die if we don’t leave right now. That gas is going to leak!” I knew that. Of course I knew that. But I looked at Lucian. I saw the way his hand was reaching out toward the glass, toward me, even as he was fading.

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 104: Containment

    Maelis’s POV“You must be kidding me,” Melanie muttered as we entered.I stopped beside her, staring at them.Lucian was pacing the small enclosed space, his jacket discarded on the floor. Kellan was inspecting the electronic lock mechanism from the inside, looking thoroughly defeated.“How did you guys get yourself into this kind of situation?” I asked with a deep frown, staring up at the reason I’d ditched the safety of the room and come running out here, thinking he was caught in a life-or-death battle.Instead, he was just... stuck.Still, for some unknown reason, a heavy weight lifted off my chest. I was a little relieved that he wasn't in any immediate danger. He wasn't bleeding. He wasn't fighting off a hundred rogues. He was just locked in a box.Lucian stopped pacing when he saw me. His eyes softened instantly, and he walked up to the glass. “What are you two doing here?” I rolled my eyes, “Well, I'm not the one trapped in some glass.” I muttered, expecting him to bite back,
