I had to do something. But what? I was trapped in a silver-lined room, cut off from my wolf, with no weapons and no allies. I was completely powerless.

Or was I?

Xavier had told me I was an Alpha heir, that I had abilities I didn't even know about. Maybe the silver was suppressing my wolf, but what about my human mind? What about the bond we'd formed?

I closed my eyes and tried to remember everything I'd felt when Xavier and I had kissed, when we'd first recognized each other as mates. There had been something there, some connection that went deeper than physical attraction.

Xavier, I thought, concentrating as hard as I could. Xavier, can you hear me?

For a long moment, nothing happened. Then, faintly, like a whisper from very far away, I heard his voice in my mind.

Thelma? How are you...

I don't know, I thought back. But listen to me. Tonight, during the ceremony, they're going to try to steal my Alpha blood with some kind of ritual. You have to get word to your pack somehow.

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 39: Memories in the Dark

    POV: Xavier I watched her walk into that darkness, and every instinct in my body screamed at me to follow. My wolf clawed at my chest, demanding I protect our mate. But Thelma had simply looked at me with those empty eyes and said, "I have to go. You know I do." Then she disappeared into the cave, swallowed by shadows so thick they seemed solid. The shadow creature remained at the entrance, a silent guardian that promised death to anyone who tried to pass. I stood there, fists clenched, breathing hard, feeling like someone had carved out my insides with a dull knife. "Xavier." Luna's hand touched my shoulder. "We should make camp. There's nothing we can do but wait." "Wait?" The word tasted like poison. "She's in there alone. Anything could be happening to her." "The Oracle won't harm her," Luna said, but she didn't sound entirely certain. "This is her only chance." I wanted to argue, to rage, to tear down the mountain with my bare hands. Instead, I turned away from the cave a

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 38: Only The Dead May Enter

    Thelma's POV Xavier's hands dropped, and the devastation in his eyes was terrible to observe. But I turned away and kept walking. The sun was setting when we encountered the ice wraiths. They materialized from the snow itself, creatures of frozen mist and malice. I counted seven of them, their forms shifting and reforming as they circled our group. "They feed on emotion," Luna said, her voice tight with fear. "Don't let them touch you." The wraiths converged, and chaos erupted. Elena screamed as one wrapped around her, its touch pulling something vital from her body. Theo blasted two with his Alpha power, but they reformed instantly. Xavier fought like a demon, but every time a wraith touched him, he staggered, his face going gray. I watched it all with clinical interest. The wraiths ignored me completely. When one drifted close, it recoiled as if burned, sensing the emptiness where my emotions should be. "They can't hurt me," I announced. "I'll draw them away." "No!" Xavier

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 37: The Oracle's Price

    POV: Thelma The morning air should have felt cold against my skin. Luna said it was freezing, the kind of cold that bit through layers of clothing and settled into bones. I watched her wrap her cloak tighter, saw the visible shiver that ran through her body, but I felt nothing. "There's one person who might break your curse," Luna had said the night before, her eyes tired and worried. "An ancient Oracle who lives in the Forbidden Peaks. But the journey is treacherous, Thelma. Many who seek her never return." I had simply nodded. Fear of death meant nothing to someone who couldn't feel fear at all. Now, as our group trudged through the snow covered mountain path, I observed them with the detached interest of a scientist studying specimens. Xavier walked closest to me, his eyes constantly flickering in my direction. Through our mate bond, I sensed his anguish, a deep churning pain that should have made me want to comfort him. Instead, I noted it clinically, filed it away as informa

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 36:“The Possession”

    POV: Thelma We ran, following the trail of dark energy through the corridors of the lair. It moved fast, desperate, searching for something. "What is she looking for?" Xavier asked as we ran. "A host," Elena panted. "She can't exist without a body. Her physical form is destroyed, turned into that crystal. But her consciousness, her magic, it needs a vessel. She's searching for someone weak enough to possess." We burst out of the lair into the forest. The dark magic was ahead of us, moving through the trees like smoke. Then I heard it. A scream. Female. Terrified. "Someone's out there!" Theo said. We ran faster, breaking through the treeline into a clearing. And there, cowering on the ground, was the last person I expected to see. Yvonne. My adoptive sister looked terrible. Her clothes were torn, her face bruised. She'd been running through the forest, probably fleeing from something, maybe the packs that had attacked Luna's territory, maybe something else. "Please!

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 35: "Stone Heart"

    POV: Thelma I was alive. I could move my fingers, blink my eyes, breathe air into my lungs. But something was terribly, horribly wrong. Xavier pulled back from our embrace, his face filled with relief and love. I could see the emotion in his eyes, read it in his expression. But I couldn't feel it. Not through the mate bond. Not in my chest where my heart should have been racing with joy. Nothing. "Thelma?" Xavier's smile faltered. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?" I pressed my hand to my chest, searching for that familiar warmth I'd always felt when he was near. The flutter of excitement. The pull of the mate bond. But there was nothing there except a cold, empty space. "I can't feel anything," I whispered. "What do you mean?" Theo moved closer, concern replacing his earlier relief. "My heart." I looked down at my chest, half expecting to see gray stone still visible beneath my skin. But it looked normal. Flesh-colored. Human. "It's beating. I know it's beating. But I

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 34: “When Love Defied Death”

    POV: Thelma The door burst open again, and Luna rushed in, followed by a group of warriors. She took one look at the scene, Marcus's body, the trapped witch crystal, and me slowly turning to stone and her face went pale. "What happened?" she demanded. "No time to explain," Theo said. "Where's Xavier? We need Xavier now!" "He's coming," Luna said. "He felt something through the mate bond. He and his warriors are maybe five minutes behind us." "She doesn't have five minutes!" Theo gestured at me frantically. "Look at her!" Luna moved closer, her eyes widening as she saw the stone spreading across my body. "Oh no. Oh, Thelma, no." I tried to speak, but my jaw was stiffening. The words came out slurred. "Not... your fault..." "Save your strength," Luna ordered, kneeling beside me. "Don't try to talk. Just hold on a little longer." But I could feel it. The stone was at the base of my throat now. Soon it would reach my heart. And when it did, I would be frozen forever. A s
