His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 71 – The Reflection Speaks
POV: AfnanThe silence did not return.It thickened.After the Gate surged, after the red light flooded the space and the ground pulsed beneath Afnan’s feet, the world did not shatter.It settled.Into something worse.Stillness.Heavy.Oppressive.Like breathing through water.Afnan stood frozen, her chest rising and falling unevenly, her pulse echoing too loudly in her ears.Across from her, The reflection stood fully formed.No flicker.No distortion.Just… there.Perfect.Exact.And wrong.The air around it seemed denser, the red light bending slightly toward it as if drawn by something unseen.Afnan swallowed.“You’re not real,” she said again, though the words felt weaker now.Less certain.The reflection tilted its head slightly.The same movement.But colder.Sharper.“You keep saying that,” it replied.Its voice, her voice,carried no hesitation.No doubt.Only clarity.Afnan’s fingers curled at her sides.“Because it’s true.”A soft sound escaped the reflection.Not quite a
His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 70 – The First Reflection
POV: AfnanThe world bent the moment Afnan stepped forward.It didn’t feel like crossing a distance.It felt like falling through something unseen.One second, the mountain was beneath her feet, the storm raging, Delph’s voice calling her name,The next,Silence.Absolute.Heavy.Afnan inhaled sharply.The air inside the Gate was colder than anything she had ever felt, not in temperature, but in presence. It pressed against her skin, her lungs, her thoughts, like something that did not belong to the same world as breath.She turned.The mountains were gone.Delph, Gone.The twins, Gone.There was only space.Endless.Dark, yet not empty.The ground beneath her feet shimmered faintly, like black glass laced with veins of silver and red that pulsed slowly, like a heartbeat.Her heartbeat.No.Something else’s.Afnan swallowed.“Delph?”Her voice echoed.But not normally.It returned to her… altered.“…Delph…”Softer.Colder.Wrong.She stiffened.The mark on her wrist burned violently
His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 69 – The Gate of Reflections
POV: DelphThe air changed the moment they crossed into the clearing.It wasn’t just colder.It was… thinner.Like stepping into a place where the world itself wasn’t fully whole.Delph felt it immediately.A pressure behind his eyes.A weight in his chest.Subtle, but wrong.Behind them, the crimson storm circled the mountains like a living thing, its red lightning clawing at the sky, its thunder now rolling low and constant.But ahead, there was silence.A deep, unnatural stillness that seemed to swallow everything else.The Mirror Gate stood at the center of it.No,waited.Delph took a slow step forward.The ground beneath his boots was smooth here, unnaturally so, as if worn down not by time, but by something passing over it again and again.The Gate itself stretched taller than any structure he had seen, a jagged tear in the air that pulsed with shifting light.But it was not like Moonfall.Not even close.Moonfall had been silver.Clear.Balanced.This,This was chaos given for
His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 68 – The Crimson Storm
POV: SharedThe storm did not arrive.It formed.Slowly.Deliberately.As if the sky itself was being rewritten.The mountains loomed ahead, vast, jagged, and ancient, but now they were no longer just stone and shadow. A crimson glow bled across their peaks, spreading like ink through water, staining the clouds above them in deep, shifting shades of red.The air grew heavier with every step.Charged.Alive.Delph felt it first in his chest.A pressure.Subtle at first.Then growing.As if the world itself was tightening around them.“We’re close,” he said, voice low.No one questioned it.They all felt it.The path narrowed as they climbed higher, the ground beneath them uneven and fractured, loose stones shifting with every step. The forest had long since fallen away behind them, replaced by bare rock and jagged cliffs that seemed to close in from every side.Above them,The sky cracked.A bolt of red lightning tore through the clouds.Blinding.Violent.And utterly silent.No thunde
His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 67 – The Broken Guardian
POV: AfnanThe mountains rose like a warning.Jagged peaks cut into the sky, their edges sharp against the pale light of morning. The forest had begun to thin, giving way to rough terrain, stone and steep inclines, narrow paths carved by time rather than design.Afnan felt it the moment they stepped onto the mountain trail.The air changed.Thinner.Colder.Heavier with something unseen.Her mark burned faintly beneath her sleeve.Not painful.But persistent.Aware.“They’re close,” she murmured.Delph, riding just ahead, glanced back.“The Gate?”Afnan shook her head slowly.“Not just the Gate.”Her gaze lifted toward the cliffs above them.“Something else.”The group tightened formation instinctively.The twins rode between Delph and Corin now, quieter than usual, their usual curiosity subdued by the tension that seemed to hum through the mountain air.Even the wind sounded different here.Not a whisper.A warning.They continued upward.Step by step.The path narrowing as it climbe
His Rejected Mate's Secret CHAPTER 66 – The Alpha’s Fear
POV: DelphNight settled slowly over the Eastern forest.Not like the wild, open skies of Bloodstone.Here, darkness gathered in layers.Between branches.Under roots.Inside the spaces where light never quite reached.Delph stood at the edge of the settlement, just beyond the last ring of watchfires, where the forest began to swallow the world again.He preferred it here.Closer to the unknown.Closer to whatever might come.Because if something was coming,he would meet it first.Behind him, the camp had quieted.The Eastern Wolves kept their distance, their movements ghostlike between trees, watchful even in stillness. Delph had learned quickly, this pack did not sleep the way others did.They listened.Always.But tonight, even that constant awareness felt… strained.As if something deeper than instinct had unsettled the land itself.Delph exhaled slowly, his breath visible in the cool night air.Then he turned.His gaze found them immediately.Afnan and the twins slept beneath a
His Rejected Mate's Secret Chapter 14 : Shadows of the moon
Afnan's POVDawn crept softly over the forest, pale and cold, like it was afraid to wake the dead.Mist clung to my hair, heavy and damp, as I trudged through the undergrowth. The twins slept against my chest, wrapped in a rough sling I’d made

(Afnan’s POV)The valley sang in whispers.Not of wind or water, but something softer, like the breath of the Moon herself, woven through the mist. Every step I took felt like trespass and blessing all at once.Lyra walked ahead

(Afnan’s POV)The horizon burned before us. Smoke curled into the twilight sky, carrying with it the acrid stench of iron and ash. My heart tightened, a rope coiling in my chest, as the first glimpse of Bloodstone’s towers came into view, blackened, scorched, the signs of the Council’s cruelty evid
