His Choice

My father isn’t happy, even I know that.
“What have you done?” His words are growled, his nails digging into my skin.
“He wanted our pack!” I argue.
“Then you give him it.” His words are sharp and I stare.
“What? Why would I give him the pack?” I didn’t train to be Alpha just to hand it over to a man.
“A man is meant to be alpha, not a woman. You should have agreed to give him the pack.”
I don’t understand. “I’ve proven I can take care of the pack, I’ve proven I can be alpha, why now are you not agreeing?”
“You’re a disgrace. What sort of person rejects becoming Luna just to hold onto a pack? To hold onto a title that is meant for a man?”
I stare at my father, my breath coming in sharp, controlled bursts. My entire life has been spent proving to him that I can lead, that I am strong enough, ruthless enough, and capable enough to take this pack into the future. And now, when I am finally about to take what is mine, he tells me I should have just handed it over?
“You would rather I give up everything I worked for?” I ask, my voice dangerously quiet.
“Yes,” he replies, his eyes cold and unwavering. “That is what you should have done.”
Shaking my head, I’m unable to believe what I’m hearing. “You would rather let a man who betrayed me, who betrayed this pack, take it just because he’s a man?”
“This isn’t just about him being a man,” my father snarls his voice is filled with irritation. “It’s about tradition, it’s about stability. The pack will question you. They will resist you. You could have avoided all of this by making the right choice.”
The right choice? I let a sharp breath, and anger simmers beneath my skin. “I am the right choice!”
“No. You are emotional!” His words are lou,d and people watch us.
“Emotional? I’m standing right here after being humiliated in front of my entire pack. After my mate has betrayed me, and I haven’t fallen apart.” My voice rises, echoing through the hall. “If I were emotional, I would be tearing through everyone who dares to stand against me. Instead, I am here, standing tall and demanding what is mine.”
His nostrils flare, but he doesn’t speak. So, I take a step closer, lowering my voice. “You don’t want a strong leader. You want someone you can control. And you know I will never be that.”
His silence is all the confirmation that I need. I glance at the room, at the pack members who are watching us and waiting. Some of them avert their gazes, others look conflicted, but no one steps forward to challenge me.
They know the truth.
I turn back to my father. “You may be ashamed of me, but I will never be ashamed of myself. If you cannot stand by my side as I take this pack, then stand aside.”
His lips press into a thin line, he doesn’t move, he’s not going to fight me because he can’t. Who else is he going to give the pack to? He’s ill, he won’t live long enough for me to find my second mate and marry them.
“I’m giving the title to Kieran.”
His words are loud and everyone hears them. I stand frozen, my father’s words echoing in my head. Looking at him, I search for something that says he’s bluffing, that this is a test, but his expression remains cold.
He can’t do this, my hands clench into fists. “You can’t. Kieran betrayed me. He betrayed this pack.”
My father scoffs. “He secured a future for himself. He secured stability for this pack. Something you were too stubborn to do.”
I shake my head, a bitter laugh escaping me. “Stability? You think letting our enemy’s bloodline rule our pack is stability? You’re handing everything over to a man who slept with our rival and is now bound to them by marriage?”
My father’s eyes darken, but before he can respond, Kieran steps forward, his arm still wrapped possessively around Lyra.
“Veyra, your father is right,” Kieran says smoothly. “You should have given me the pack willingly. Now, it’s mine anyway.”
His words slam into me like a blow, and I can see the people in the pack hating this. They don’t want Kieran as their alpha and certainly don’t want Lyra as their Luna.
“And what does that make me?” I ask, my voice hollow.
Kieran grins. “Nothing.”
Lyra giggles at his side, her fingers trailing along his chest. “Oh, come now, Veyra. You didn’t really think you still had a place here, did you?”
Fury builds inside of me and I swallow it down, no one in the pack will say a thing, they fear Lyra’s pack too much. “So what now? You take my title, my pack, and what? You expect me to kneel for you two?”
Kieran smirks. “No, I expect you to leave.”
Leave? The words hit harder than I expected. He wants me gone, just like that.
Tilting her head, Lyra smiles, but it’s dripping with satisfaction. “There’s no room for you here anymore. Kieran is Alpha, and I am Luna. Your father has made his choice, just as Kieran did.”
I turn back to my father, my voice sharp. “Is this what you wanted? To cast me aside like I was never meant to lead?”
“You made your choice,” he says. “Now live with it.”
I suck in a breath, forcing myself to stand taller, refusing to let them see the way my heart is breaking.

Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas Losing Everything
Veyra POVMy breath catches in my throat, the last vision yanked away like a curtain torn from its rail, and I collapse inward as if the weight of what I’ve seen is too much for one soul to carry.It should be over. I want it to be over, but even I know that it isn't.The obsidian hums around me. The air begins to shift again. It presses against my skin with a foreign kind of cold, an unfamiliar bite that doesn’t belong to my memories. It sinks into my bones like a warning. My limbs go still. My breath holds without permission.I’m not falling this time like before. I’m not tumbling through my own past or slipping into memories I’ve tried to bury. I’m standing upright. But the air smells wrong. Not like fire or blood or ash, though I have no doubt all of those will come soon after, but like something older. Wounded. Abandoned.The ground beneath me is cracked and dry, the trees brittle skeletons that claw at the sky like they’ve long since given up hope of spring. The sun is low and a
Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas His Reasons
Veyra POVMaddox moves too quickly and the blade sinks into his chest with a sickening crunch. The sound is wet and final. His body jerks as Maddox climbs onto the bed and pins him down, blade driving deeper between the ribs. His brother gasps, hands scrambling for something, anything that he can use to fight back. Maddox doesn’t give him the chance.He leans close, mouth brushing his brother’s ear.“You should’ve stayed out of my bed,” he whispers.His brother chokes. Blood fills his mouth. He’s trying to speak, trying to beg, but Maddox keeps going.“She was mine. You knew she was mine.”Another twist. A sharp jerk of the blade that severs something vital. His brother’s body twitches once, then sags. Eyes wide. Staring at nothing. There's no remorse from Maddox, if anything, just fury and hurt, like his brother's betrayal warranted death, and maybe it did? After all, she is Maddox's mate, and his brother did overstep that line.Maddox doesn’t even look at him or consider watching h
Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas Betrayed
Veyra POVMy body isn't exhausted, but my mind is right now. I'm waiting, wondering what is going to come next, or will that be the end of it all? A coldness seeps into my chest, and I feel myself getting pulled back under again. I don't think I can do this much more. I'm ready to push the button if I get a chance to just end this nightmare. I can deal with my own past, my own darkness, why do I have to carry theirs as well?I can already tell this isn't my memory. The space around me is different, and it's not what I've seen before. Because of this, I already know whatever I'm about to see isn't what's buried inside me. It belongs to someone else.I try to brace myself but there's no warning, and not a second to prepare, the obsidian vanishes and the memory builds so fast I can barely catch my breath.A coldness spreads through my chest. I try to brace myself, but there’s no warning. No second to prepare. The chamber vanishes, swallowed whole, and I fall into someone else’s life.Th
Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas His Darkest Moment
Veyra POVMy eyes snap open suddenly as the vision ends.I'm still surrounded by the obsidian, I'm still in the trial, it wasn't real. I'm not dying, I'm not in heat. It feels like I’ve been dropped from a great height. My body is drenched in sweat. My chest heaves with each ragged breath, and I can’t stop shaking. Every part of me aches. My hands are clenched into fists so tightly that my nails have broken the skin. There’s blood on my palms, on my wrists, on the arms of the chair I didn’t remember gripping.I try to sit up straighter, to steady my thoughts, but my body won’t stop trembling.It’s over. That was all of it. It had to be. Those were the worst things I’d lived through, my mate’s rejection, my father's betrayal, and the heat that nearly killed me. There’s nothing worse than those. Unless the fights with the Omegas are going to be part of it? Although they weren't powerful enough to do much.I let my head fall back against the obsidian and try to exhale. My chest is tight
Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas Another Trial
Veyra POVLast night was unbearable and possibly one of my worst nights since I got here. All four of them argued like I was some prize that they had a right to claim. Maddox didn’t bother, no he was his usual self, he just sat back, amused, like it was the best entertainment he’d had in years. Honestly, for him, it probably was.Now I sit in silence, surrounded by obsidian. I know the other Omegas are already enduring their trials, their screams echo faintly through the stone walls. I try to regulate my breathing, to find some calm. My worst memories are recent, not many in number. I keep telling myself that it should make this easier to face. I'm not like the other Omegas who have faced a lot in my life, I was treated well until I came here. Well, until my mate rejected me and replaced me with Lyra. I can say easily what memories will be forced on me, and yes, I can survive them. That knowledge, though, does not help.I have no idea how long I have been sitting here. It feels endl
Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas Fun
Maddox POVThese three are pathetic.Rael sticks close to Veyra like he thinks proximity equals victory. She’s still naked, completely unbothered, walking down the corridor like she owns it, like being wrapped in nothing but Rael’s scent is enough of a shield. I almost admire the arrogance. Almost.She walks ahead, still in Dagen's grasp, chin up, back straight, like she’s forgotten she’s surrounded by Alphas who could tear her apart. Or maybe she just knows none of us will. That’s what makes her dangerous. That false sense of safety.“So where is she sleeping tonight?” Rael asks as he glances over to Dagen. “Because I don’t think it’s fair for her to be in Dagen’s r
