POV: Xavier

I was watching from the shadows at the back of the grand hall when it happened. Thelma had been magnificent, standing there defying everyone with a courage I'd never seen from her before. Her rejection of Neon, her challenge to her adoptive father, it was everything I'd hoped she would do someday. But then I saw her stumble, saw the way her face went pale, and I knew something was terribly wrong. The poison. They'd done it again.

Without thinking, I pushed through the crowd of shocked pack members. People were too stunned by what had just happened to pay much attention to me at first. They were all focused on the drama unfolding on the platform, whispering among themselves about Thelma's shocking behavior.

"Move!" I growled, shouldering past a group of elderly women who were clutching their pearls and muttering about "young people these days."

By the time I reached the front of the crowd, Thelma was on her knees, swaying dangerously. Her adoptive father was reach

  • REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA    Chapter 40: The Sound Of Her Fear

    POV: Xavier "She's my mate!" I'd shouted, knowing it would make things worse. "And I won't let you touch her." Damien had raised his clawed hand for the killing blow. I remembered accepting it, knowing I'd die protecting her. Then golden light had exploded through the room. Thelma's power, raw and untrained but massive, had erupted. She'd stood between me and death, her eyes blazing with fury and love. "You will not touch him," she'd said, and her voice carried the weight of Alpha command. "He's mine." She'd saved me. Even knowing I'd been sent to kill her, even knowing I'd lied, she'd saved me. That was who Thelma was. Someone who loved so fiercely, so completely, that she'd burn down the world to protect those she cared about. "Xavier." Theo's voice brought me back. "You're crying again." I touched my face and found it wet. "The memories won't stop. Every moment we shared, every time she smiled at me, laughed with me, saved me. It's all playing through the bond like some ki

  • 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!

    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
