JULIAN.

"Look at the noble Silvercrest heir now," a Vanguard warrior sneered, leaning heavily against the wooden post of the armory as I dragged myself past the secondary courtyard.

He spat a thick, brown glob of tobacco directly into the mud, landing mere inches from the toe of my frayed, oversized burlap shoe.

"Hey, untouchable trash! You missed a spot on the western kennels! The Supreme Alpha doesn't like his hunting hounds sleeping in your filth!"

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   Packing Poison And Silk

    VALERIA.The dawn of the Pan-Continental Alpha Summit finally broke, bleeding a freezing, winter-gold light across the jagged eastern horizon.The heavy morning air carried the sharp, biting scent of impending snow and frostbitten pine.I had already been awake for hours, sitting in the dark. The brutal, calculated blueprint of my retaliation was entirely laid out in my mind, meticulously memorized down to the absolute last millisecond.There was absolutely zero room for error today. I was willingly walking straight into the open, bloody mouth of a geopolitical slaughterhouse. And I fully intended to be the only one who walked out covered in my enemy’s blood.Early in the morning, while the sprawling Vanguard fortress was still deeply buried in the dark slumber of the third watch, I slipped silently into my ruined, reinforced greenhouse.The humid, heavy air of the glass pavilion wrapped around my skin, thick with the intoxicatin

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Usurper's Shadow

    VALERIA.A soft, terrified rattle broke the suffocating morning silence of my chambers.A young, trembling Omega maid was carefully setting a heavy porcelain tray onto the mahogany bedside table. The rich scent of roasted pheasant, fresh mountain winter berries, and steeped chamomile tea drifted up into the freezing air, but my appetite was completely, entirely nonexistent."Your breakfast is served, Luna Valeria," the maid murmured. She dropped into a quick, violently trembling bow, her terrified eyes carefully locked onto the floorboards.I remained standing by the high, arched glass windows, my hands clasped tightly behind my back."Where is the Alpha?" I asked, my voice flat, icy, and completely devoid of any warmth."The... the Supreme Alpha is currently taking his breakfast in the grand dining hall with the primary command staff, Luna," she replied quickly, her small fingers fluttering nervously against her starched white a

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Black Market Alibi

    VALERIA.The suffocating silence of my private study had become my only reliable ally, but tonight, the quiet felt dangerously fragile.I sat hunched over my heavy mahogany desk, the flickering, golden glow of a single tallow candle illuminating the complex, encrypted transmission codes I was meticulously preparing for the Vanguard border spies I had bought earlier that day.My heavy iron pen scratched rhythmically against the thick parchment, each sharp stroke locking down a new, lethal node in my growing Shadow Court.BANG.The heavy oak doors exploded inward, the iron hinges groaning violently in protest as they slammed against the stone walls.I didn't flinch.I didn't gasp.My hand simply, fluidly slid over the parchment, seamlessly shifting a thick, leather-bound ledger over my encrypted treason to completely hide my work.I raised my chin slowly, my facial features instantly freezing into a familiar, unbothered scowl as Kaelen stormed into the room like a localized, bloodthirst

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Summit Summons

    UNCLE MALACHI.The freezing mountain wind howled across the high terrace of my obsidian quarters, but it did absolutely nothing to cool the ambitious fire burning in my veins.I took a slow, deliberate sip from my porcelain cup, the bitter, scalding black coffee grounding me as my dark eyes swept over the sprawling Blood Moon training grounds thousands of feet below.Everything was finally, flawlessly clicking into place.The board was set.The old Supreme Alpha of the Shadow Vanguard had been successfully assassinated, his heavy bones currently rotting beneath the mountain soil.And my pathetic, weak-willed brother—the current Blood Moon King—was currently hacking up his failing lungs in the royal wing, his blood souring with a mysterious illness. He would soon be declared medically unfit to rule.The throne was practically empty.It was just waiting for its true, visionary architect to finally claim it.Click.The heavy, soundproof glass doors behind me glided open.Marcus, one of m

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Bloody Thread

    KAELEN.The pale, watery morning light filtered through the heavy velvet curtains of my bedchambers, doing absolutely nothing to soothe the agonizing, rhythmic pressure behind my eyes.I woke up with the bitter, burning taste of stale rye liquor on my tongue and a dark, violent irritation coiling tightly in my gut.Everything from the previous day—the massive, catastrophic failure of the mandatory screening, the hollow green lights of the diagnostic machine mocking me, and the explosive, borderline feral confrontation with Valeria—entirely clogged my thoughts like thick mud.I kicked the heavy silk sheets aside, my bare feet hitting the cold floorboards with a heavy thud as I immediately began to pace the massive room.My knuckles, still raw, split, and bruised from when I had violently smashed them into the stone masonry the night before, throbbed with a dull, persistent, agonizing ache.I felt completely, dangerously wound up—tight as a drawn crossbow string—my inner wolf violently

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Edge Of Sanity

    KAELEN.The dying embers in the massive stone hearth cast long, jagged shadows across the dark mahogany panels of my study.I stood completely frozen in the center of the room, my chest heaving, the heavy air suffocatingly thick with the volatile, suffocating weight of my own restless pheromones.My Beta, Gary, stood near the heavy oak doorway. His head was bowed, his scarred hands clasped tightly behind his back. The dead silence between us was absolutely pregnant with the catastrophic failure he had just delivered."Say it again," I rasped, my voice a lethal, vibrating baritone that physically made the crystal decanters on the side table violently rattle. "Say it one more fucking time, Gary."Gary swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. His jaw tightened as he forced himself to look up and meet my murderous, burning gaze."We made sure all the women within our territory were tested, Alpha. Every single one. From the high-born noble houses down to the laundry girls and the lower se

    VALERIA."What?"The word tore from my throat, breathless and sharp.A freezing current of pure panic sliced straight through my carefully constructed, icy exterior.I stared down at Silas, my fingers tightening aggressively against the blood-soaked linen towel I was pressing into his torn shoulder

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Heiress's Return

    VALERIA."Synthesize this. Now."I slapped the crumpled, handwritten botanical formula onto the cold steel of the laboratory desk.The subterranean medical wing of the Blood Moon estate smelled of sterile alcohol, dried blood, and centuries of ancient Lycan magic. It was a world away from the mud a

    KAELEN."Tell me you found her."My voice was a low, vibrating growl that barely sounded human. I stood in the center of the temporary, suffocatingly tense command post erected on the very edge of the Silvercrest borders.The tactical monitors cast a sharp, high-contrast chiaroscuro glow across the

  • HE REJECTED ME, SO I TOOK HIS CROWN   The Coward's Compromise

    VALERIA.The laughter died.It didn't happen all at once. It was a slow, suffocating wave of unease that rippled through the courtyard, starting at the front of the crowd and bleeding toward the back.The jeers and cruel insults faded into nervous murmurs, the pack members shifting uncomfortably un
