Darius’ POV

I sat on the armchair in my chambers lost in thoughts. I had not been myself ever since I summoned Lily to my room, which almost resulted in me giving her a bite mark.

A memory of how I rejected her as my mate drifted back to my mind when my fangs jotted out of my gums that night. I thought my mind was playing tricks with me, but everything I saw felt so real. The tears on Lily’s face clearly showed she didn't deserve my rejection.

I couldn’t figure out what everything I saw meant. I had rejected her as my mate and chosen Selene instead of her, according to what I saw. Tears welled up in her eyes as I looked at her disappointment-etched face.

‘Why on earth would I ever have to choose an omega maid?’ I thought in confusion.

I was convinced that there was no way Lily, who is an omega, would have been my fated mate. Selene was the daughter of a powerful Beta, she was the only one worthy of being my Luna. Everything I saw contradicted the story Selene told me about Lily.

    Lily’s POVI felt a sense of peace as the hot water from the faucet rained on my body. I dropped the faucet and turned on the shower. I sat on the cold tile with my knee to my chest and my head placed on top of my knee.I reflected on the recent happenings and how my love story, which I had thought would be tragic, took a drastic turn. I never believed I would have alone time with Darius while breathing Selene-free air. My mind suddenly went to Alpha Malik who had given me time to think about his proposal. I knew there was nothing to think about but I didn’t want to reject him just like that. There was nothing to think about. I had known who I wanted right from day one. I wasn’t in doubt because I was doubting my feelings for Alpha Darius. I had loved him from the bottom of my heart. I had never once doubted my love for him. I was just scared that something or someone might try to take him away from me again.I had wanted to stall for time and the right moment to reject him in a co

  • Forbidden Love: The Alpha Rejected Luna Second Chance    Chapter 126

    Lily’s POVThe kiss changed something between us. Not dramatically – we didn’t suddenly leap into a complete relationship – but it shifted the basis we’d been carefully building. Maybe I gave myself permission to fall in love with Darius again, maybe that made everything else seems possible. The only thing different now was that it was still up to me. Not fate, not the bond, but my own choice to let him meet the person He truly was – someone who had hurt me, but someone who was genuinely trying to be better. A wave of gratefulness washed over me and for the first time, I noticed how different the bond felt when I wasn’t still fighting it. I had blanket-scrambled my knowledge of it for the last few weeks, tried to pretend that it’s a cage I needed to get out of. Now I just let myself my feelings pour – it didn’t feel like a chain anymore. It felt like a bridge. A piece of invisible, intangible connection that united two whole, full people experiences fully without losing themselves in

    DariusI woke up to sunlight in the study, and Lily was still sleeping on my shoulder. Her hair spilled across my chest, and she seemed so peaceful. I stayed frozen for a moment, afraid to move and prove the previous night to just be a dream. She had chosen me. Not as an obligation due to our connection, not because she had no other choice, but for her, this was a real decision. A real chance. Lily stirred awake; her blue eyes opened slowly. Confusion flashed over her face for a moment; then, memory hit her. “Good morning,” I greeted her quietly. “Morning,” she replied, sitting up. “I should go. People will talk if they find me here.” “Let them,” I shrugged. “Or, sorry, if you would prefer.” She looked at me, and her face softened into a slight smile. “You’ll do this all the time now, aren’t you?” “Yes,” I promised. “Until you believe that I mean it.” “That might take a while,” she warned. “I have a lot of time,” I told her. “All the time in the world.” She stood up and stretc

    Lily's POVI couldn't sleep. The next full moon, tomorrow night, and if I decided to go through with it, Darius and I would do the spell that had the potential to break our connection once and for all.Should have been a simple call. He had violated me, forced a connection I absolutely did not want. And of course it should want broken.But I had spent the evening in his study, and our conversation had knocked something loose. The way he’d claimed that to live without my forgiveness was already a death. How utterly convinced he’d been when he vowed to help me sever the bond, even if it meant killing him.This was evidence that I had been waiting to see. And he'd passed.I felt myself walking downstairs to his study with no deliberate direction. I knocked softly, half hoping that he would be asleep.But the door opened immediately. "Lily," he said, surprised. "Is everything alright?""I couldn't sleep," I admitted. "Can we talk?""Of course. Come in."We sat down by the fire again, in t

    Darius's POVLily’s words lingered between us, weighted with an absolute sense of finality. “I want to talk about the bond. About breaking it."My ‘wolf howled in my body with a sound of pure pain. Every instinct demanded that he say no, fight it out, use the bond to make her see how very wrong this was.But I’d vowed to honor her decisions, even when they killed me.Naturally," I lied, trying to sound even when I wasn’t. "What do you want to know?"She leaned back in the chair opposite my desk. “I’m gonna need to know if you really meant that. For helping me break the bond, if that’s what I choose. Or was that more of a virtue-signal honor to which you were just all talk but no action?”The question stung. "I meant it. If you want it broken, I’ll help break it. No matter what it costs."“If it means giving up your life?” she asked quietly.I stared at her. "What?"“Breaking a forced mating isn’t just easy,” lily replied. "I've been researching it. The rituals are risky, potentially l

  • Forbidden Love: The Alpha Rejected Luna Second Chance    Chapter 122

    Lily's POVThere was something between me and Darius changed by the conversation in the library. Not in any dramatic way — I didn’t suddenly forgive him or give him another chance. But my wall of protection had a few crevasses in it, through which the possibility that maybe, someday things could be different began to seep.In the coming days, I kept wanting him around. Not on purpose, at first—I’d tell myself I was just going to the library at my regular time, or looking into pack business that turned out to be him. But slowly, I had to face the truth.I wanted to talk to him.Our talks began tentatively — we were both so careful, I remember, not to say something that would shatter the fragile truce we’d brokered. We discussed pack business, the changes he was making, the difficulties and demands of leadership.But eventually, inevitably, we started discussing other things. Recollections from our childhood - the time when he was just Darius and I was just Lily, before ranks and duties
