Food

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-12 15:29:23

Veyra POV

Dagon storms away, but he didn’t take the plate of food. I guess that’s a win for me.

Walking back to the mats, Riven and Sera are staring at me. “Do you want to die?” Sera asks quietly.

“No, but I also won’t be told what to do.” I pick up the plate and hand them food again. Sitting, we eat quietly, but we don’t speak. I can see them, they are trying to hide that they are eating.

If Dagen didn’t want me to feed them, he should have taken the food with him.

When we finished eating, we lay down.

I watch Riven and Sera fall asleep, but I can’t sleep now. I shouldn’t have slept today. Instead, I begin to pace the small cell and when that doesn’t help. I begin to exercise.

What else do I have to do? Exercising is a bonus right now because I need to keep my strength up. I do anything I can within my limited space—press-ups, sit-ups, and every type of exercise there is. When my arms are dead, I begin with squats.

Eventually, I become too tired to stand, fall onto the mat, and pass

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Entrance

    Dagen’s POVI hate this. I hate every second of it. The way he smiles like the war is over. Like we handed him a victory he didn’t earn. He leans back in his chair, completely at ease now, as if everything that ever haunted him is finally gone.“I knew she’d refuse to hand the Alpha title to Kieran,” he says lazily. “And the thing is, if she’d agreed to it, maybe Kieran would’ve kept her as his mate. But no, she had to fight. Stubborn, just like her mother. He’s better with Lyra, anyway. At least she’s full wolf. Not tainted with dirty rogue blood.”He glances toward Rael like he’s tossing a joke into the middle of casual conversation.“No offense.”Rael’s voice is flat. “None taken. I’m not exactly fond of rogues either, even being one myself.”Sethen laughs at that, like it’s a shared joke between them. Like Rael didn’t spend half his life running from what Sethen just called him.I glance at Rael, but he won’t meet my eyes. His hands are tight in his lap, his knuckles pale. He’s ho

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   His Happiness

    Veyra’s POVI don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here, pressed back against the cold leather of the seat, but I haven’t moved once. My hands are clenched too tightly in my lap, my nails biting into my skin, but I can’t feel the pain. It’s like my body’s gone numb, except for my chest, where every breath burns and every heartbeat feels sharp enough to cut me open.Their voices drift to me through the stillness.Maybe I shouldn’t be able to hear them. The walls should block their words, but I hear them as clearly as if I’m standing inside that house, right there with them. I tell myself it’s just the bond, stretched thin now that the worst of my heat is behind me. Or maybe it’s something else. Something I’ve always ignored. Something in my blood that never fully belonged to this pack or any other.Sethen’s voice cuts through the silence first, it's calm, steady and cold.“She’s her father’s daughter.”The words shouldn’t surprise me. I already know. But hearing them spoken like that,

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   His Truth

    Rael’s POVI don’t know what I expected when Sethen started speaking, but it wasn’t this. Of all the horrors I imagined tied to Veyra’s past, this… this wasn’t even a possibility. Varric has haunted my nightmares since I was a boy. His name is something that still makes my skin crawl, even now, after all the blood I’ve spilled and all the years that have passed. He’s the shadow I never outran. The fear I never outgrew.And yet, none of this feels real.Varric never wanted women. That was the one constant. The one thing we all knew. He said they disgusted him. He’d sneer at the very idea of touching one. But it is real. It has to be. Because when I think about it now, think about her strength, her power… it’s more than rogue blood. More than the Velhara. She’s something else entirely. She’s something we’ve never seen before.And I never noticed.Not until Sethen said the name.Not until he said it and I thought of her eyes.I see them now, so clearly it hurts. Veyra’s eyes. Sharp and c

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Father

    Vane’s POVThe moment we step inside, the scent of smoke and old stone hits me like a wall. The air feels too still, too heavy, as if this house has been holding its breath since the last time someone bled here. Sethen walks ahead without looking back at us, his posture too casual for a man who just admitted to enjoying the thought of his daughter dead. He gestures lazily toward the two waiting maids, who appear as if summoned from the shadows, their heads bowed, their movements stiff. Neither looks at us directly as they move to pour drinks, setting glasses on the heavy table between the chairs.Dagen moves first. He strides across the room without hesitation and lowers himself into the chair nearest the fire. His calm is deliberate, calculated. A message, even if Sethen’s too arrogant to read it. Rael takes the seat beside him, his expression as closed as I’ve ever seen it. Maddox stands for a moment longer, jaw clenched, before he drops into the chair opposite Dagen. His knuckles a

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   The Lie

    Vane POVThe doors open almost in unison. None of us speak as we step out of the car, the weight of what we’re about to do pressing down harder with every step we take. Maddox leads us, his shoulders squared, though I can tell from the stiffness in his movements that he’s barely holding himself together.Dagen walks beside him, calm and collected as always, his expression unreadable. Rael moves just ahead of me, his silence more dangerous than usual. I bring up the rear, every part of me tense as we cross the short stretch of ground toward the house.Sethen is already waiting. He stands near the front steps, not because he expects us, because he’s too arrogant to think he needs to prepare for anything more than whatever small news we might offer him. His stance is casual, his expression smug. He watches us approach like a man waiting for news he already knows will please him.And when he counts us, four without Veyra, his smirk only grows sharper.“Well,” he says, breaking the silence

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Request

    Vane’s POVThe car rolls to a smooth stop within the familiar grounds of the pack, and beside me, Veyra releases a quiet sigh as she stares out the tinted window.We all stay seated, not moving instantly. Each of us is waiting to see what she intends to do next, giving her space to take control. There's a chance she will act, not speak or ask questions. People outside begin to gather slowly, their curious gazes fixed on the car and it's clear that they are trying to see who is inside but they don't have any success in it. They whisper among themselves, undoubtedly wondering who sits behind the darkened glass.Finally, Veyra turns her head slightly toward us, though her eyes remain locked on the large doorway where Alpha Sethen stands waiting, watching us carefully, suspicion heavy in his expression."I need you to go out there and tell him I'm dead," she says suddenly, her voice calm and steady, so even and composed it shocks me.I turn sharply in my seat, unable to keep the surprise
