(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 arou

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 52 – The Weight of Crowns

    POV: DelphThe council hall buzzed with voices, the sound thick as smoke. The stone walls, freshly rebuilt, still smelled of dust and oil, but already the chamber brimmed with arguments. Wolves debated border routes, trade rights, reconstruction plans. Scrolls littered the great table like fallen leaves.Delph sat at the head, shoulders squared, hands clasped. His eyes tracked the lips moving, the gesturing claws, the words spilling like rain. But his mind… his mind was far away.He had dreamed of this peace once. Dreamed of an end to the blood and moonfire.Yet now that it was here, peace felt heavier than war.He glanced around the table. The council he rebuilt, wolves who had fought, bled, and survived, were now turning into bureaucrats. They meant well, but the energy had changed. It was no longer about survival. It was about rules, borders, and endless talking.Corin leaned toward him, whispering with a half-grin, “You look like you’d rather be wrestling rogues in the forest than

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 51 – Shadows in the Stone

    POV: CorinThe catacombs were colder than he remembered.Corin’s boots echoed against damp stone, each step a soft thud swallowed by the tunnels. The torches lining the walls flickered uncertainly, their light bending as though reluctant to reach too far ahead. The deeper he walked, the more the silence pressed against him, heavy, thick, alive.Bloodstone was healing aboveground, laughter returning to halls that once dripped with screams, but beneath, something still whispered.He’d been hearing the reports for days now. Strange vibrations. Faint hums in the walls. The scent of burned silver drifting up from the lowest tunnels whenever the moon was full.Most dismissed it as lingering magic. Corin wasn’t so sure.He reached the final stairwell and paused. The air smelled faintly of metal and rain. His hand tightened around the lantern.The Moon’s Gate chamber lay just ahead, sealed, supposedly dormant since the battle.But as he drew closer, the silver symbols etched into the walls b

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 50 – The Moon’s Children

    POV: AfnanThe gardens of Bloodstone had never been this alive.Dew clung to every blade of grass, glittering silver in the early light. The air smelled of damp earth and growing things, a smell Afnan had almost forgotten. The fortress had known blood and smoke for so long that the scent of flowers felt like another kind of miracle.Two small figures darted through the mist.The twins.Their laughter rang clear as bells as they chased each other between the stone arches, bare feet kicking up petals. Wherever they ran, the world changed, buds unfurling in their wake, vines stretching toward them as if yearning to touch the light that trailed from their fingers.Thin threads of silver shimmered behind them, vanishing slowly into the air.Afnan watched from a distance, sitting on the low stone wall that bordered the old training yard. Her hair, still unbraided from the morning, caught faint flecks of sunlight. She smiled despite the faint ache of unease that had followed her all week.Pe

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 49 – The Silent Fortress

    POV: DelphFor the first time in years, Bloodstone breathed.The fortress that had once howled with fire and steel now glowed with soft gold. Torches burned warm instead of crimson. The courtyard below shimmered with the echo of laughter, children chasing each other between new stone pillars, their bare feet smacking against wet earth.Peace had come.But peace, Delph had learned, was not quiet. It was a thousand tiny sounds that filled the silence war left behind: the creak of new gates, the murmur of workers rebuilding roofs, the distant bark of wolves practicing formation drills even though no one had ordered them to.He stood at the edge of the ramparts, cloak stirring in the wind, and felt every sound like a weight.Sleep had become a stranger.Each night he walked the same path, up the battlements, along the high wall that overlooked the mountain’s shadow. Beneath his boots, the ancient stones still pulsed faintly, warm in places where the Moon’s Gate buried under the fortress w

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 48 – The Weight of Peace

    POV: AfnanThe first light of dawn filtered through the open arches of the Alpha’s chambers, pale and tender like silk brushed over stone. For the first time in moons, there was no sound of battle,only the steady rhythm of breathing.Afnan lay awake, eyes tracing the silver vines etched across her arm where the curse had burned its mark. It no longer hurt. The veins shimmered softly in the light, living proof that the Moon’s power had changed her, but not broken her.Between her and Delph, the twins slept, tangled in a heap of blankets and soft curls. One stirred, mumbling something about wolves chasing stars. She smiled faintly and brushed a strand of hair from his face.Peace had come at last.And yet… peace was heavier than war.She turned her head toward Delph. He was still asleep, one arm slung protectively over the children, the faintest frown between his brows, as if even in dreams, he didn’t quite trust that the world had stilled. His chest rose and fell in slow, deep rhythm,

  • His Rejected Mate's Secret    CHAPTER 47 – Dawn Over Bloodstone

    POV: DelphThe smoke still rose over Bloodstone Fortress, thin, tired ribbons curling toward the soft light of morning. Rain had fallen through the night, washing away the blood and ash, leaving the courtyard slick with silver puddles that reflected the rising sun.Delph walked slowly through the ruins, his boots crunching on broken stone. The once-mighty gates of Bloodstone lay scattered in pieces before him, twisted by flame and light. His fingers brushed against the charred wood. It was the same gate he had sworn to protect when he first became Alpha. Now it stood open, humbled, like everything else that had survived this war.All around him, wolves stirred among the wreckage, exhausted but alive. Some limped. Some carried others. None spoke. They were waiting, not for victory, but for what came after.He stopped at the center of the courtyard, lifting his face to the pale dawn. We won, he told himself. But the words rang hollow, like an echo in an empty hall.A soft voice cut thro
