His Rejected Plus-Sized Secret Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Eight
ElmaThe bed in Xander’s chamber was large enough to hold six people, yet I lay at the very edge of it with my spine rigid and my fingers clenched around the blanket, as if the mattress might swallow me whole.He had given me a long linen nightgown from some servant’s chest, plain and shapeless and wonderfully modest, and I had never been so grateful for a piece of cloth in my life. Then he had stretched out on the opposite side of the bed, in the dark, with a full arm’s length of cold sheets between us.He did not touch me even once.That unsettled me far more than any threat could have done. I had braced myself for hands and demands and cruelty, but instead I lay awake listening to the slow rhythm of his breathing, and I felt the strangeness of it pressing against my ribs like a stone.“Stop wondering whether I will change my mind,” his voice murmured through the darkness, rough with exhaustion. “I told you that I do not take what is not freely given, and I never speak a vow I do no

ElmaThe council chamber sat deep within the fortress, a vast circular room of black stone where torches burned in iron sconces and twelve high-backed chairs formed a half-ring around the dais. Every pair of eyes in that room followed me as Xander marched me through the doors with his hand clamped around my elbow.Sera knelt in the center of the floor with her wrists bound in silver chains. Her grey-streaked hair had come loose from its pins, and a bruise was blooming along her cheekbone, but she lifted her head when I entered and gave me a look so fierce that it nearly broke me."The healer Sera stands accused of conspiring with a Silver Moon assassin," Zeb announced, stepping forward with obvious satisfaction. "Her satchel contained forbidden herbs, and witnesses heard her whispering of Damien's death with the prisoner.""Forbidden herbs that she carried for decades without a single complaint," I said, before I could stop myself.The chamber hissed with outrage. Xander's grip tighte

ElmaThe door locked behind Xander and Zeb with a sound like a coffin lid closing, and I slid down the wall until I sat on the cold floor with my knees pulled against my chest.Hours passed, though I could not have said how many. The fire burned lower in the hearth, the guard outside shifted his weight against the door, and the severed mate bond kept pulsing inside my chest like a rotten tooth that refused to stop aching. My wolf had gone silent since the rejection. She lay curled somewhere in the dark corners of my mind, whimpering softly whenever I let myself think of Liam.I thought of Nadia instead, because hatred hurt in a cleaner way.Nadia had held my hand during my first shift. Nadia had sneaked honey cakes into my room whenever Mirabella's cruelty left me too sick to eat dinner. Every one of those memories now looked different, warped like a painting seen through broken glass, and I kept searching for them for the moment when kindness had turned into calculation.Just before

ElmaMy fingers twisted into the sheer black silk until the fabric bit into my palms. I would rather have died against that cold stone wall than let the man who had just sentenced me to breed his heirs strip away the last flimsy barrier between his gaze and my shame."I will not do it," I said, although my voice shook so badly that the words broke apart in my mouth. "You may call me a murderer, you may chain me in your dungeon, and you may order your guards to drag me back to that bathing room, but I refuse to undress for the man who believes I killed his brother."Xander stopped halfway across the chamber. The firelight carved harsh shadows into the hard lines of his face, and for one terrible moment I expected him to laugh at me. Instead his dark brows drew together, and something close to confusion flickered behind his silver-flecked eyes."Is that truly what you believe I meant?" he asked, his voice dropping into a low rasp that seemed to vibrate through the stone beneath my bare

I had always known my own heritage carried something my parents described carefully, patiently, across my entire childhood, but standing now before my first genuine medical crisis, watching villages fall beneath an illness even Jax's considerable expertise struggled to fully comprehend, I understood, with sudden clarity, exactly how much responsibility my own inheritance now demanded."Elowen," my father called, finding me at the edge of our temporary camp where I'd been practicing the healing exercises Ondine had personally overseen across these past years. "Are you ready? Jax believes your particular gift might offer something the rest of us haven't yet managed."I nodded, though considerable nervousness accompanied my confidence, understanding that whatever expectation my parents' considerable legacy had established, this genuine crisis demanded proof considerably beyond simple training exercises."What makes you think I can help where others haven't?" I asked, following him toward

I had ruled Silver Moon for considerably longer than my own father ever managed, and standing now before my council chamber's familiar walls, feeling the particular ache age had gradually settled into my once-formidable frame, I understood, with genuine clarity, that whatever pride I still carried regarding this pack's remarkable transformation required careful, deliberate consideration toward exactly who should eventually inherit the responsibility I'd spent decades learning to properly honor."You're troubled," Wren observed, finding me alone in the chamber long after the day's official business had concluded."I am," I admitted. "Wren, I've ruled this pack for considerably longer than I ever anticipated during those difficult, early years following my own disgraceful treatment of Elma. I find myself, now, confronting exactly the question every Alpha eventually must face, who inherits this responsibility once I'm no longer capable of properly carrying it?""Our son," Wren said gentl

Elma"Treason!""Stone her!""Tear her apart!"My head throbbed with a blinding pain. I blinked, my vision swimming as the blurry shapes around me sharpened into terrifying focus. I was lying on the floor of a steel cage."What... what am I doing here?" "Please.""She's finally awake," a deep, c

ElmaThe rough bark of the boundary tree scraped against my bare back as the two guards violently hurled me onto the wet, muddy ground."Stay on that side of the line, Elma," the taller one spat, tossing my torn shoes into the dirt beside my head. "If you cross back onto Silver Moon territory, we w

Elma“Wait, Liam, what are you”The door slammed shut, cutting off my words.A mistake.Panic and a sickening wave of betrayal forced me into motion. I scrambled off the bed, my hands shaking so violently I could barely pull the torn fabric of my dress over my curves. I didn't bother with my shoes.
