Reborn As The Alpha King’s Rejected Mate Twenty-Two
Lila’s POVThe market was crowded that morning.It was the best place to hear news, especially when the palace had become so secretive. Merchants spoke to suppliers, servants occasionally visited to purchase household goods, and gossip traveled faster than any royal messenger could carry an official announcement.If something had happened to the Crown Prince, surely someone would know. Even a rumor would have been better than nothing.I stopped at a bread stall and pretended to examine the freshly baked loaves. The warm smell of bread drifted through the air, but I had no appetite. I picked up one loaf, turned it over in my hands, then set it down again.“So,” I asked casually, “Have you heard anything from the palace lately?”The seller glanced at me.“About what?”I forced a small smile. “Anything interesting. I heard the royal household has been unusually quiet.”“That isn't my concern.”“Of course. I was only asking.”He returned to arranging his bread. I waited a moment before tr

Lila’s POVHe drank it.Even after seeing the way I looked at him, even after hearing the panic in my voice, Elias had lifted that glass to his lips and swallowed the champagne as though it were nothing more than an ordinary drink.As though his life meant so little that he could risk it without a second thought.Or perhaps he had understood something I hadn't said. Perhaps he had seen the fear in my eyes and realized that I wasn't afraid of the champagne itself, but of what it might do to him.He…saved me.This time, I hadn't been the one to throw myself between him and death. I hadn't even been given the chance to explain what was happening. He had simply taken the danger from my hands and made it his own.For me.The thought hurt more than I wanted to admit.Because I remembered the last time I had tried to save him. I remembered believing that if I could just keep him alive, everything else would somehow work out. That the man I loved would hold me close, keep his promises, and ne

Lila’s POVI was alone.Elias was summoned by the Alpha King, his father, to speak with several guests near the center of the ballroom. From the way the men waited for him, their expressions serious beneath their polite smiles, I assumed it was something related to royal affairs.“Try not to miss me too much.”Was his parting words to me.“Try not to flatter yourself too much.”His quiet laugh followed him as he walked away.I watched him join his father and the others, then quickly looked elsewhere when I realized I was still watching.This was becoming a problem.Not Elias himself, exactly, but the way he had begun slipping past the walls I'd spent so much time building. A few months ago, the thought of dancing with him would have been enough to make me happy for the rest of the evening. Now, even after everything that had happened between us, I was still thinking about the warmth of his hand against mine and the sincerity in his eyes when he said he wanted to be with me.It was rid

Lila’s POVFor a few seconds, neither of us said anything.I didn't know what to do with his words. It was doing and unraveling parts of myself I thought no longer existed.I don't want someone else.Those words should have made me happy.The old me would have probably cried from happiness just hearing something like that from Elias. But I wasn't the old me anymore.I had learned that words could be beautiful and still be wrong. Promises could sound sincere and still be broken. So, I didn't let myself hold on to his words too tightly. Instead, I nodded."Let's go back."His eyes searched mine."Are you sure?""Yes." I took a breath. "I don't want to spend the entire night hiding in a corridor."A small smile appeared on his lips."That's the most reasonable thing you've said all evening."I rolled my eyes, making him chuckle.For some reason, hearing him laugh made the heaviness in my chest loosen.We walked back into the ballroom together, and immediately, I regretted it.People look
Reborn As The Alpha King’s Rejected Mate Eighteen
Lila's POV A week passed.A week of reading old records, asking careful questions, and trying to understand how Victor could have been connected to things no one seemed willing to talk about.I didn't find anything definite, but I found enough to make me uneasy.Victor had owned several properties outside Silvermoon. Some were businesses. Some were pieces of land. There were also records of payments made through organizations that no longer existed.Nothing was illegal on paper.That was the problem.Everything looked clean. Too clean. Whenever I found something interesting, the trail seemed to disappear, and every time it disappeared, I found myself wondering the same thing.How many things had Victor hidden? How many people had helped him? And how much of my first life had been built on lies I had never thought to question?I was still trying to find answers when Mother reminded me that we had somewhere to go that evening.A royal gathering.I almost refused, remembering what happe

Lila's POVFor the next few days, I tried to convince myself that nothing had changed.I still had questions. I still had a mother to protect. I still had my own murder to uncover, and somewhere between all of that, there was Elias.The last part was the one I found most inconvenient.After what happened in the garden, I had spent the entire evening thinking about his words.I don't plan on leaving.I had heard promises before.In my first life, I had believed them. That was why I knew better than to let a few kind words make me forget everything that came before. Still, I couldn't deny that something had shifted. It was not enough to trust him. Not enough to love him again.But enough for me to stop pretending that I felt nothing, and perhaps that was why I decided I needed to focus on something that had nothing to do with Elias.My mother's accusation. My death. The things that had happened before the coronation. The things I had never questioned because I had been too busy trying t
