Sitting on my terrace, a delightful breeze caressing my skin, I waited impatiently for the video call to connect.

It was already six o'clock, the time we had agreed on.

My fingers drummed a frantic, excited rhythm against the glass tabletop, and a genuine, unburdened smile spread across my face.

My enthusiasm knew no bounds.

After nearly ten weeks, I was finally going to see them again. It felt like an eternity without them, but now that they were each building their own lives, it was a distance I would have to get used to.

My laptop screen buzzed, and then, all at once, their faces appeared.

It was as if they, too, had been waiting with bated breath for the exact moment. Three faces I held so dear stared back at me, their eyes sparkling with pure happiness. A wave of emotion washed over me, and my eyes welled up with tears at the sight of their radiant appearances. They loo

  • Four Times Rejected, Destined for The Throne   Chapter 96 – The Royal Prisoner

    In the Kingdom, the stronghold of the Royal werewolf family, the heavy iron doors of the prison groaned open, pushed by two guards whose faces betrayed no emotion. The air inside was damp and metallic, thick with the scent of confinement, rust, and old blood, as if the walls themselves remembered every howl and plea that had ever echoed through them. Chief Warrior Walther stepped into the corridor, his boots landing heavily on the stone beneath him. His expression was carved in granite, unapproachable, unreadable, and cold, a man who had long since learned to bury sentiment beneath duty. From the shadows of his cell, Alpha Atticus stirred, his voice emerging like a low snarl from the dark. "What is it this time, Chief? Has the King finally roused himself from his endless slumber? Is he ready to explain why I rot in this hole without trial, without cause? Or is he still too much of a coward to face me himse

  • Four Times Rejected, Destined for The Throne   Chapter 95 – A Forced Union

    The engagement party was grandiose. Businessmen, top families, and even a few ministers arrived to wish us well. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the low murmur of conversation, but above it all, the grandiosity of the event was the main feature. The ballroom was an opulent display of wealth and influence, with chandeliers dripping from the ceiling and floral arrangements so large they felt like small gardens. Alpha Vincent had spared no expense in showcasing his power on this island. A lavish bouquet from the prime minister himself sat on a prominent table, a single gesture that spoke volumes about the union’s political significance. The day had started with the delivery of a breathtakingly beautiful white mermaid-style gown, complete with a long, flowing veil, to my villa, a gift from the Alpha. It was the dress of a bride, not a fiancée. A team

  • Four Times Rejected, Destined for The Throne   Chapter 94 – The Ultimatum

    “Anna, what are your plans for the future? You can’t just keep working like this forever. Lunar Crest is doing well without you. You need a solid private life, and honestly, I'm so worried about you.” It was Margie who, with a single, serious question, completely changed the tone of our video call. The playful teasing vanished, replaced by a deep-seated concern. The smiles on Amy and Jor’s faces faded, and they leaned closer to the screen, their expressions mirroring her solemnity. My heart sank. I should have seen this coming, this was inevitable. Now that they were all settled in their own lives, their full attention had turned to me. I was their problem child now, the one who was still single and unattached. They wouldn't give up. They would keep asking questions, pushing me to find a mate and start a family, just like them. And with the pups on the way, I had to come up with a better e

  • Four Times Rejected, Destined for The Throne   Chapter 92 – The Fall of the Secretary

    The Alpha's proposal replayed in my mind for days, an idea as absurd as it was unexpected. It haunted my thoughts, a constant, nagging question that overshadowed everything else. I spent restless nights and distracted days trying to decipher his true motives, to uncover what possible advantage he could gain from an engagement, and even more so, from a marriage to me. My mind replayed every interaction, every shared look, every moment of his suspicious behavior. The fact that he seemed to have investigated my background even before I met him was a glaring red flag, but beyond that, there was nothing concrete to explain this extraordinary proposition. There was no logical reason, and the lack of a clear motive made me even more suspicious. At this moment, I was hunched over my desk in the Alpha’s sprawling, sun-drenched office. The room was always impeccably clean, and the air smelled faintly of fresh paper and expensive co

  • Four Times Rejected, Destined for The Throne   Chapter 91 – An Unexpected Alliance

    Island life was made for me! Telling you! It was as if the Gods knew I would one day land on this speck of land in the sea and made it as breathtaking as possible. I quickly settled in, easily blending with the small population that welcomed me warmly. Yes! This is life! During my first week on Barbados, I had no other choice then to live in a luxurious penthouse in a prestigious hotel. However, I couldn't get used to it. Towering above a bustling city no longer appealed to me. I longed for the lush green of a garden, to be woken every morning by the sound of gushing water and chirping birds. Eventually, the Alpha found a lush villa for me, right next to the sea. The beach was within walking distance, while the surrounding plants guaranteed the house's privacy. I was not surprised when he bought the house right next to me. We are neighbors, but he is more often on my terrace than his own. G
