ONCE REJECTED, NOW MATED TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 11
ARIA “ Knox, no! ” I screamed in panic, rushing toward him. I grabbed his bicep with both hands and shook him violently with every ounce of strength I had, trying to force him to let go of her. But he didn’t budge. It was as if I were trying to shake a mountain. My gaze darted to Lena. Her face had turned a dangerous shade of purple, the veins in her temples bulging as the air was choked off. Her fingernails clawed desperately at the thick muscles of Knox’s hand, her lips parting in a silent struggle for air. My stomach twisted. “ Please, let her go. ” I looked back at Knox. His attention remained fixed entirely on Lena. His lips were pulled back from his teeth in a vicious snarl, his entire body radiating a fury so intense that even I could feel the heat of it. I tightened my grip on him, “ Knox, please let her go, ” I begged, my voice breaking. At the sound of my broken plea, he turned his head to me and my breath caught in my throat. His familiar piercing blue eyes we

ARIA Cursed. The word hung in the room like a sharp knife. My whole body went completely numb, and all the warmth drained from my face. I tried to keep breathing normally, tried not to react, but my chest felt painfully tight, every breath suddenly requiring more effort than it should. So this was why. The warding off gestures. The strange behaviors. ‘ How did someone here know something about your past? ’ Laila’s voice came quietly in my mind. ‘ I don’t understand. ’ I replied to her. My eyes shifted toward Knox. There was still no physical reaction from him but I could feel the raw, terrifying rage boiling so hot inside him through the bond. The pressure of it prickled against my skin. “ Say that again. ” he let out dangerously, his eyes never leaving Ethan’s. Ethan swallowed hard, clearing his throat nervously and forced the rest of the words out all at once. “ They are saying the Queen is cursed. That her mother died giving birth to her and everyone in her old pack b

ARIA Maya’s thumb gently brushed across the back of my hand as if trying to pull me back from the darkness. I slowly turned my head and looked at her properly. Worry filled her face so openly that it made something ache inside my chest. I had never told her what I had gone through. She probably thought this was just a moment of rude servants needing discipline. She didn't know it was a ghost coming back to haunt me, dragging me right back into the lonely girl I used to be. I swallowed hard against the suffocating knot rising in my throat. “ Let’s go, ” I whispered softly. For a moment, Maya didn’t move She just kept staring at me with that same worried expression. Her lips parted slightly like she wanted to say something but she closed her mouth and simply nodded instead. “ Of course, Your Majesty, ” she murmured gently. She rose from her kneeling position and helped me to my feet before smoothing her hands lightly over my gown to straighten the fabric. She walked ahead of me

ARIA The soft golden light of morning spilled through the tall windows of my bedchamber, bathing the room in warmth. I sat silently in front of the vanity mirror, watching Maya through the reflection as she skillfully styled my hair with practiced ease. Every few moments, she reached for another pearl pin or silver clip resting neatly across the vanity table. Behind Maya, two of the four handmaidens Knox had appointed to me, Lena and Celine, stood quietly with their heads slightly bowed. While the other two, Nora and Martha, stood near the chamber doors. It all still felt strange sometimes. Being attended to. Being cared for. My fingers slowly lifted toward the side of my neck where my mating mark was. The moment my fingertips touched it, warmth spread beneath my skin. The mark was no longer an ordinary puncture from a bite. Instead, it had transformed into something small, delicate, and strikingly beautiful. Thin lines curved together in intricate patterns, weaving into eac

KNOX “ My mother died when I was just six years old, ” I began, “ and it destroyed my father. Not just as a man but as a father and leader. I saw the pain and emptiness in his eyes everyday. It was like a part of him had been ripped out. ” I paused, swallowing hard against the memories that still haunted me. Aria slipped her fingers through mine. “ So he became obsessed with making me unbreakable, “ I continued, “ He started training me before I could even shift, trying to forge me into a King who couldn't be touched by pain. He was hard on me, yes, but I saw the way he would watch me from the sidelines. There was love there, buried under layers of fear and duty. He didn't want me to suffer like he did. ” I looked down at our joined hands, my thumb tracing the pulse in her wrist. “ He told me that losing your fated mate is like losing a part of your soul. ‘You become a shadow of what you used to be’ he said. I swore then I would never let that happen to me. I would never let a wo

KNOX The days after Aria’s fight with Victoria, everything changed. At first the palace felt tense. But slowly, that tension turned into something else. Respect. Everyone now spoke Aria’s with admiration and pride. For me, however, she had already been my Queen who would rule beside me. So, I began making changes. The first thing I did was order the opening of the Queen’s chamber. It had been sealed since my mother’s death, a place filled with dust and memories. I had refused to open it even when the idea of marrying Victoria had been finalized. It had never felt right. Even then, Fenris had rejected the idea of marking Victoria. ‘ Not our mate. ’ he would always growl whenever her name was mentioned. But with Aria, it felt right. ‘ She is our mate. ’ he had said. The servants worked for two days cleaning and preparing the chamber. Fresh curtains were hung, floors polished until they gleamed, and the bed was dressed in new silk. For the first time in years, the space f

ARIA The cheering stopped instantly. All eyes turned to where the voice had come from. I knew it was her even before I saw her. Victoria—Gamma of Dark Moon pack and Knox’s betrothed. When I had first arrived at the palace, I had heard whispers of Knox’s betrothal to her. Maya later told me the

ARIA He let out a growl and strode towards me. Laila paced frantically. ‘ Mate is here. Touch him. Without a word, he reached down and scooped me into his arms. I moaned softly at the contact, my head falling back against his shoulder as he carried me from my room to his grand chamber. He plac

ARIA Four days. I had spent four days stuck in this cold and dark dungeon, feeling unsure and scared. I know it’s been four days because I counted the meals the guards bring in. One in the morning and another at night. And if I’m not wrong, I just had the eighth meal, which means it was night and

ARIA Without thinking, Laila surged forward and took full control. My body shifted into my wolf form again, my clothes tearing apart. Before the rogues could attack, Laila spun around and raced into the trees. The rogues let out chilling howls that echoed through the woods as they chased after he
