BROOKS

I was still trapped in that split second between shock and disbelief. My arms were locked tight around my son, too tight, like loosening my hold for even a second would make everything fall apart.

My chest felt hollow, each breath shallow and uneven, like my lungs couldn’t quite remember how to work properly.

Another whistle cut through the air.

My body reacted instantly. I dropped low and twisted, pulling Rowan fully into my chest as I turned my back to the open clearing. My arm came u

  • RECLAIMING HIS REJECTED MATE    95: Most Reckless Woman I Know

    95LEVI'S POV I let out a surprised laugh at her question, leaning in to brush a loose strand of hair from her forehead. "Don't get me wrong. I was the happiest man alive because of that" I said, watching her face soften as I pulled her closer.I paused, my gaze dropping to her hands, before I couldn't help but let a playful smirk slide onto my lips. "Though, there is one thing I still can’t believe. Throwing yourself between me and those rogues? You’ve got to be the bravest, most reckless woman I’ve ever met.”She tried to wave it off, pulling her hands back as a flush crept up her neck. "I don't know what you're talking about," she mumbled, looking everywhere but at me. "I just did what I had to do.”“You stepped between me and a group of dangerous rogues.”She shrugged, and I raised a brow.“It was nothing. No need to make a big deal out of it.”I couldn’t stop the smile that came to my face, and I reached out to catch her chin and turn her face back to mine.“It's definitely a

    LEVI'S POVDrahzar was finally gone, and for the first time in what felt like forever, there was no threat hanging over us. No one waiting for the right moment to strike. No one pretending to be an ally while planning our downfall.Everything was finally over.My mind kept going back to the moment when Theo had mindlinked me and told me the whole plan. From the ritual, down to this, and to how I would get my wolf unbound.After the sex with Brooks, that was when I finally felt my wolf again.Now, sitting in my study with Theo across from me, it almost felt strange to think about how close everything had come to falling apart.Theo leaned back in his chair, a familiar amusement crossing his face.You know, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it," he teased. "I honestly didn't think you had it in you to wait that long before sleeping with her after you woke up.”I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped me.“I can't believe it too. But I think it wasn't just about that. Those days of v

    ROOK'S POVThe room felt like it was still spinning, the air thick with the metallic smell of blood and the violence that had just unfolded. I had to sit to steady myself.My hands were shaking so hard I had to tuck them under my arms to keep them still, as my mind struggled to process the sight of the carnage spread out across the floor.I kept replaying the same moments over and over again. The way Levi had moved with a power none of us had expected, tearing those men apart like nothing.It was almost impossible to believe that only moments ago, everyone in that room had been certain he was powerless.Through the haze of my shock, I watched him walk back to the table. He pulled his chair out and sat down, before he reached for my trembling hand and covered it with his own.I stared at him, still trying to understand how he could look so unaffected, and he gave my fingers a soft squeeze, as his eyes met mine with a calm warmth."It's alright, Brooks," he said, his voice gentle, and d

    BROOK'S POVA hollow, aching dread filled me instantly. I didn't care about my pride anymore or the way Drahzar and Theo looked down at us with such hateful satisfaction. My only thought was the man seated beside me, and our son.The mere possibility of losing Levi a second time, this time permanently, clawed at my chest with a ferocity that made it hard to even breathe. I didn't know what I would do to myself if anything happened to him.I could not begin to imagine the crushing weight of having to tell Rowan that he would never see his father again. I couldn't even imagine what our fate would become if they killed Levi.And I didn't even want to think about it, so I got up and threw myself on the ground, my voice cracking as I looked at them with desperate, pleading eyes."Please," I sobbed, the words tumbling out in a frantic rush."Just let us go. You have what you want. You have the throne and the power, and we have nothing left to fight with. I swear to you that we will leave an

    BROOK'S POVLevi was beside me within seconds. I barely had time to process the uneasy feeling still crawling through me before his hand found mine and his concerned gaze settled on my face.“Brooks, are you okay?”I looked at him, and for a moment, I tried to convince myself that I was overreacting. But the image of that man’s face was still clear in my mind.“I saw someone,” I said quietly.Levi’s expression immediately sharpened.“Who?”I glanced back toward the door, searching through the hall again, but there was no sign of him.“I can't remember who he is, but I know I’ve seen him before, Levi. I know I have, but I can’t remember where, and he scared me.”The concern on his face deepened as he followed my gaze.“What did he look like?”“He had a face cap on, and he had this scar across his face.”Levi’s eyes moved through the hall immediately, scanning everyone around us, his attention moving carefully from one person to another as he searched for the man I had described.But he

    BROOK'S POVThe hall in the palace had been transformed completely.The entrance was lined with towering arrangements of flowers, and warm lights reflected off the polished stone pathways leading toward the main hall.Inside was filled with elegant decorations, from the elaborate centerpieces placed across the long dining tables to the carefully arranged gold and white accents that covered the walls.Everything looked expensive, carefully chosen, and designed so well.The guests were already gathered, dressed in their finest clothing. Their voices blended together beneath the soft music playing in the background, creating an atmosphere that felt welcoming on the surface but carried a tension I couldn’t ignore.Levi and I had made the decision at the last minute to leave Rowan behind with a maid. I had wanted him with us at first, but the more I thought about the evening, the more I realized it was better for him not to be surrounded by everything that came with this gathering.There w
