(Delph's POV)

The world held its breath.

Mist crawled across the broken hills like a living thing, swallowing every sound except the soft creak of leather and the slow rhythm of wolves breathing beside their Alpha. The ground was wet from a night of silent rain, the scent of ash clinging stubbornly to the soil.

Delph stood at the ridge, staring down at the faint, jagged outline of Bloodstone Fortress through the haze. Those dark walls, once his pride, once the heart of his father’s line, rose l

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 45 – The Breaking of the Council

    (Corin’s POV)The first crack split the marble like a scream.Silver light bled up through the floor of the throne hall, turning polished stone into molten glass. Wolves stumbled back, shielding their eyes as tremors rippled through the fortress. Above us, the ceiling groaned, the carved moons fracturing, dust raining down like ash.For one silent heartbeat, it felt as if the world itself held its breath.Then the fortress roared.The light surged again, brighter this time, alive, pulsing from the catacombs below. The Moon’s Gate was awake.I pushed myself off the cold floor, blood slicking my arm. Pain knifed through my ribs, but I was still breathing. Still standing.All around me, chaos reigned, soldiers clashing, banners torn, the Council’s enforcers shouting orders no one obeyed anymore. “Fall back!” one barked.“The Moon rejects us!” another screamed.They were right. The Moon had chosen. And it wasn’t them.I gritted my teeth and lifted my head. The throne stood ahead, massive

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 44 – The Moon’s Gate

    (Delph’s POV)The air grew colder the deeper we went.Our torches hissed in the dark, light trembling against ancient stone. Each step echoed like the ghost of an oath long forgotten. Somewhere above, the fortress screamed with war, the howl of blades, the crack of crumbling towers, but down here, there was only the slow, rhythmic heartbeat of the earth.And Afnan’s mark.It glowed faintly ahead of me, painting her skin with moonlight. Every time the flame-shaped crescent pulsed, the walls around us seemed to breathe, stones shifting slightly, whispering fragments of old tongue. “We are close,” Maelis murmured, her eyes flicking between runes etched into the stairwell. “The catacombs predate the packs. This is where your ancestors sealed the Moon’s first gift.”I tightened my grip on my blade, more comfort than weapon.“I thought the Moon’s gift was power,” I said quietly.Afnan glanced back at me. In the half-light, her gaze was sharp, soft, knowing. “No,” she whispered. “It was cho

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 43 — The Burning Mark

    (Afnan’s POV)Darkness hums like a heartbeat.I drift in and out of it, sometimes weightless, sometimes burning. Voices rise and fall around me, blurred and distant, like waves pulling against the shore.Maelis chants. I know that sound anywhere. The rhythm of ancient words, older than Bloodstone itself.Somewhere close, Delph’s breath trembles. The scrape of his claws on stone. The desperate, silent prayers that never leave his lips.“Please,” he murmurs once. “Take me instead.”The Moon doesn’t answer.When I open my eyes, everything is red.Not blood, light. Flickering, molten light that dances across the walls. I’m lying on a cold stone table, the air thick with incense and smoke. The scent of burnt silver clings to my skin.Delph kneels beside me, his face caught between fury and fear. “You’re here,” he whispers, voice cracking like old glass. “You’re still here.”I want to speak, but pain blooms along my arm, where Serena’s arrow struck. It isn’t a wound anymore. It’s alive.The

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 42 — Fire and Silver

    (Delph & Afnan’s POV)The fog breaks with a roar.Delph bursts through the shattered gates of Bloodstone, his wolves flooding behind him like a living storm. The ground trembles beneath the rhythm of paws and steel. Smoke claws at the dawn sky, thick with ash and the taste of iron.His pulse is steady now, measured. Every command he gives ripples through the pack, flank left, hold formation, guard the fallen. He has learned the strength of restraint.A true Alpha doesn’t howl first; he listens for the echo.Draven growls in his mind, all teeth and fury, desperate to be loosed. But Delph holds the beast tight, focusing on the rhythm of the battle.From the ridge above, a horn blares, enemy reinforcements charging down the hill. He turns to face them, silver light catching on his claws. “With me!” he calls, voice a thunderclap over the chaos.And thenA flicker of white beyond the smoke.Afnan.For one suspended heartbeat, time falters. She’s there among the healers, her hands glowing p

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 41 — The Huntress of Shadows

    (Serena’s POV)The night burns.From the upper battlements of Bloodstone, Serena watches the world she once ruled drown in crimson light. The courtyard below seethes with wolves and steel, moonlight gleaming on blades slick with mud. Smoke rises in lazy coils, catching the wind that whips her golden hair into a tangled halo of war.Her bow rests against her shoulder, silver, elegant, lethal. A gift once forged for an Alpha’s mate.Now it hums for vengeance.She leans against the parapet, eyes tracing the battlefield with detached calm. Every scream, every clash of metal feels distant, muffled, as if the world itself has become a dull echo of her rage.Once, she had stood here beside him. Delph’s hand on her back, his voice promising she was his dawn, his constant. Until Afnan’s name rose like a prayer from his lips, and the dawn turned to ash.A memory cuts through her like a bladeDelph’s smile in the training yard, sunlight gilding his hair, the softness in his eyes that had never b

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 40 — Betrayal in the Citadel

    (Corin’s POV)The corridors of Bloodstone whispered like old bones.Candlelight trembled against damp stone, spilling over claw marks carved into the walls, ghosts of battles long past. Every step echoed too loudly, every shadow felt like a watchful eye.I had walked these halls all my life, but tonight, they felt like a stranger’s ribs, hollow, fragile, ready to collapse.Two of my most loyal guards trailed behind me, cloaked and silent. Their breath came in white clouds as we descended the servants’ stairwell, where moss crept between the cracks. In my hand, I clutched the forged orders that would open the inner gates to Delph’s army.The ink hadn’t even dried when I felt it, the pulse of the Alpha bond in the distance. Delph was close. The Moon had answered.“Keep your pace steady,” I whispered, though my voice trembled slightly. “Once the gate rises, everything changes.”The younger guard, Talen nodded. The older one, Rusk, kept his hand near his dagger, his eyes darting to every

    (Delph’s POV)The forest bled rain and memory in equal measure.Each drop that fell tasted like smoke and iron, as if the heavens themselves remembered the fire that gutted Bloodstone. I moved through the northern woods with the storm whispering in my ears, my cloak heavy, my wounds burning beneath
