REJECTED BY FATE, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA KING Chapter 10 – Stolen Fate
The night stretched heavy and restless over the Crescent Moon fortress. Clouds veiled the moon’s light, dimming the glow of the pack’s sacred symbol. To Selene, it felt like a sign—an omen that what she planned tonight would change everything.Her envy had sharpened into something jagged, something dangerous. For weeks, she had lived in Aria’s shadow, smiling as her best friend confided in her, masking her jealousy behind gentle reassurances. But the feast had made it undeniable.Kaelen’s eyes had not wandered once. Not toward her, not toward any noble lady vying for his notice. Only toward Aria.An omega. An unwanted, fragile mistake.Selene’s lips tightened as she opened the wooden box she had hidden beneath her bed. Inside, bundles of dried herbs, small vials of blood, and a fragment of crystal pulsed faintly in the candlelight. Gifts from a wandering witch she had once aided—gifts she had been too afraid to touch until tonight.Her fingers hovered over the crystal. Its dark surfac
REJECTED BY FATE, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA KING Chapter 9 – The Weight of Whispers
The moon hung pale and watchful above the Crescent Moon Pack as the last embers of the feast died out. The great hall stood quiet now, stripped of its earlier grandeur, only the faint scent of roasted meat and spilled wine lingering in the air. Aria moved silently through the corridors, a tray of goblets balanced in her arms.Her body was tired, but it wasn’t the ache of labor that weighed her down—it was the memory of silver eyes. The Alpha King’s gaze still burned against her skin, a pull she didn’t understand and didn’t want to name.She had tried to ignore it, to remind herself she was invisible, that she had always been invisible. But his eyes had undone years of practiced smallness in a single evening.And she hated herself for the way her heart betrayed her, fluttering like a caged bird every time she thought of him.Aria slipped into the servants’ chamber to return the goblets when voices drifted through the half-open door of the corridor beyond. At first, she paid no mind—idl

The grand hall blazed with light. Golden chandeliers hung from vaulted ceilings, and the walls shimmered with banners stitched in silver thread, each one bearing the sigil of the Crescent Moon Pack. Musicians played soft, lilting melodies while servants scurried between long banquet tables, filling goblets and replenishing platters piled high with roasted meats, fruits, and steaming bread.It was supposed to be a night of celebration, a feast in honor of the warriors’ victories along the border. Laughter filled the air, but beneath it, tension hummed like a taut string. For at the head of the hall sat Kaelen—the Alpha King—and his gaze was fixed where it should not be.On her.Aria stood with the other omegas along the edge of the room, dressed in a simple gown that marked her as a servant, not a guest. She had lowered her eyes, trying to melt into the shadows as she always did. Yet despite her efforts, she felt it: the weight of his stare, heavy, unyielding, drawing her like a flame

The whispers spread like wildfire.Servants snickered in corridors, warriors exchanged knowing looks, and elders shook their heads with disdain. The story twisted and grew each time it was told: the Omega who touched the Alpha King, the Omega who dared flirt with him, the Omega who thought herself worthy.Aria felt the weight of every whisper pressing down on her shoulders. She had spent years becoming invisible, molding herself into the shadow that no one noticed. Now, suddenly, she was exposed, and the cruel laughter that followed her every step cut deeper than any blade.It didn’t matter that she had done nothing but her duty. The pack had never needed much of an excuse to remind her of her place.Selene, at first, seemed to be her shield.“Don’t listen to them,” she whispered fiercely one evening as they scrubbed the floors of the dining hall, the bitter stench of spilled wine clinging to their hands. “You saved his life. They should be grateful. Instead, they’re showing their ugl

The days following the sparring session rippled with whispers.Every corner of the pack house buzzed with speculation: the Alpha King had been injured, the rejected Omega had touched him, and—most scandalous of all—he had allowed it.Aria tried to keep her head down, returning to the infirmary and drowning herself in work. She scrubbed linens, ground herbs, checked poultices twice over, anything to keep her hands busy so her mind wouldn’t drift back to him.But it was useless.Every time she closed her eyes, she felt again the rough warmth of his skin beneath her fingers, saw the intensity of his silver gaze. Worse than the memory was the truth: she could still sense him, lingering, as if the spark between them had branded itself into her very soul.And yet she told herself it meant nothing. It had to mean nothing.Selene noticed her distraction.“You’ve been walking around like a ghost,” Selene teased one afternoon as they folded linens together. “Don’t tell me the King’s little scra
REJECTED BY FATE, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA KING Chapter 5 – The King’s Wound
The morning after the feast, the pack’s training grounds buzzed with restless energy.Word had spread: the Alpha King himself would be observing, perhaps even sparring with the warriors. It was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Every wolf, young and old, crowded the edges of the grounds, straining to catch a glimpse.Aria, summoned to tend to possible injuries, stood quietly at the fringe with her healer’s satchel. Her heart beat too quickly, though she told herself it was only because of the crowd. Only because the day promised chaos.But when Kaelen entered the clearing, his presence slammed into her chest like a blow.Clad in black training leathers, stripped of his heavy cloak, he looked even more formidable than he had at the feast. Broad shoulders, coiled muscles, movements sharp and predatory—he radiated lethal grace. His silver eyes swept across the field, and again, Aria felt that impossible pull, as if his gaze brushed over her even in the crowd.Damian strutted forward, eager
