By the time my third and final class of the day ended, my head should’ve been aching from all the information crammed into it. Instead, I felt… alive. Every word, every sentence the lecturers had spoken was as though it had carved itself into my brain, permanent and unshakable. When the others shuffled their papers and groaned about assignments, I sat there almost glowing with the strange certainty that I could recall every detail, down to the tone of the lecturer’s voice.

As I packed my bag, Eryndra’s voice slid softly through my mind, steady and measured as always.

“Do you know why you’ve remembered every single event that has happened in your life since the day Elena found you?”

The question startled me so much that I nearly dropped my bag. I swallowed, lowering my gaze so no one could see how rattled I was. “No,” I murmured under my breath as I slipped out of the classroom. “I don’t know.”

The campus corridors were full of chattering students, but for me, their voices blurred into

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 35 - The Alpha King

    Lila’s POVThe world snapped back into focus so violently I gasped, my body jerking forward. Joan’s hands were still gripping mine, her eyes wide with alarm. The candle had gone out, and the water in the bowl had turned black.And Jeile stood in the doorway.Her eyes were no longer the casual brown I’d grown used to, but they glowed faintly with an amber light that made my skin crawl. The air around her was filled with heat, and I could smell it now the sharp, acrid scent of old magic.“What the hell is going on here?” she repeated, although I knew she knew. Joan moved first, stepping in front of me, but her hands were shaking. “Jeile, this isn’t….”“Save it.” Jeile’s gaze went over the chalk marks, the candles, and the blackened water. She looked disgusted. “A revealing ritual? Really? How pedestrian.” She stepped fully into the room and slammed the door behind her with the lock clicking without her touching it.My heart hammered against my ribs. I wanted to run, but there was nowhe

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 34 - The Ritual’s Truth

    Lila’s POV Joan’s room felt smaller than it should have and when she finally got up, her chair scraped against the floor, which made my teeth ache. And as if she had seen something that I had not, she spoke. “We need to go back to your room,” she said. Her voice came out low but it was steady. “Now.” The lower part of my stomach twisted. “Back to my room? With Jeile possibly there?” “That’s exactly why we need to go there.” Joan was already gathering things from her desk drawer, I did not know what they were but they looked like what she'd use for the ritual. “If she’s an amber witch, there will be traces in the room, residues. The ritual needs to be performed where she lives, where her energy saturates the space.” I placed my palm against my chest, trying to calm my heart hammering on my ribs. “What kind of ritual? I thought you said we needed to test her first.” “Yes I said that, but something came up and we need to move fast. And as for the kind of ritual it is called a

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 33 - The amber witch guess

    I walked into class that morning with my decision fixed like a stone in my chest, the goal was to find Joan, and get answers. If it means I had to search every hallway and knock on every hostel door, I would. The question about Jeile’s sudden change had been buzzing under my skin all night; it wouldn’t leave me alone.I didn’t need to look far. Joan sat where she always did, the corner of the lecture hall that felt like a small island to her. She had her notebook open, dark curls tucked neatly behind one ear. Seeing her there felt like finding a familiar landmark in a strange town; relief warmed through me so quickly my knees felt a little unsteady.I dropped into the seat beside her before anyone could, leaning in close. “Joan,” I whispered. My voice felt too loud in the quiet row. She looked up, and the easy smile I’d come to recognize softened into something like concern the moment she saw me.“You look like you didn’t sleep,” she said, but she didn’t sound amused.I leaned closer

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 32 - the scent of trouble

    I woke up that morning with one thing on my mind, Joan. The question about Jeile had been burning in my chest since last night, nagging at me with every breath. If anyone could give me answers, it was definitely going to be Joan.The moment I stepped into the classroom, my eyes scanned every corner, searching for her familiar face. I had pictured her sitting there with her books neatly stacked, maybe giving me that easy smile she always wore whenever she caught me staring too hard at the board. But her seat was empty.I told myself she was just running late. People got delayed all the time. So I waited. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Still no sign of her. By the time the teacher walked in and started the lesson, chalk scratching loudly against the board, I knew she wasn’t coming.My heart sank with disappointment, heavy and cold, but there was nothing I could do. So I forced myself to focus on the class, though every word the lecturer said drifted past me cause I was very distracted. My p

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 31 - the witches secret

    “I am a witch,” Joan said, her was voice calm, but her eyes were fixed on me with an intensity that made me freeze on the sit.For a second, I honestly thought I had misheard her. Maybe she’d said something else, and my mind had twisted the words. But no, her face, and the way she sat there so confidently, told me she had said exactly what I thought she did.I blinked at her. “You’re… what?”“A witch,” she repeated, slower this time. “That’s how I knew what you were the first day your uncle Marcus brought you here.”My throat tightened. What I was? I wanted to ask, but the words caught somewhere between disbelief and fear.Joan leaned forward a little, her elbows still resting on the table. Her expression softened now, like she could already see the panic rising in my eyes. “You carry your wolf scent strongly, Lila. To the average person, it would probably go unnoticed. But to me? It was impossible to miss.”I stared at her, heartbeat thundering in my ears. “But… if you knew… why didn

  • My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy    Chapter 30 - I know what you are

    I woke earlier than I had in weeks. My eyes opened before the sun had fully risen, and for the first time since coming into this world, my sleep had been dreamless, deep, and steady. No memories chasing me, no shadows clawing at my mind. Just peace.I didn’t even bother to bathe or brush my hair. My body moved before my mind could second-guess, tugging on yesterday’s clothes as if the urgency inside me had been waiting all along. Today was different. Today, I wasn’t just pretending to be human or fumbling through a wolf’s destiny. Today, I was going to learn.“Eryndra,” I whispered, sitting cross-legged on the bed, my bare toes curling against the cool floor. “Teach me. Please. I don’t want to wait anymore.”Her presence stirred. So eager, little one? she teased, though her voice carried no mockery.“Yes,” I breathed. “I don’t want to keep waiting. I want to learn how to use what you’ve told me I have. I want to control it.”There was a pause, long enough for me to wonder if she would
