Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 71: The Mirror War
The Vault burned with a light not of this world—silver flame clashing with red mist as lunar magic tore through shadows born of memory and pain. Rachel stood at the center of the chaos, her arms raised high, every nerve in her body screaming as if set ablaze. She didn’t remember casting the spell; her body had moved purely on instinct, driven by fear—and by something older, deeper, and far more ancient than conscious thought.All around her, the echoes screamed as they scattered across the chamber. Each wore her face—or Elira’s, or Seris’s—but none of them looked truly alive. They moved like twisted puppets, bent under the weight of some unseen will, and their voices whispered her darkest fears back at her in tones that sounded far too familiar.“You’ll become her.”“You already are her.”“No one will stop you when it happens—not even him.”Rachel’s breath caught in her throat, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. Not now. Not again. Not this nightmare echoing back.“Shut up,” she h
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 70: Into the Vault
“Look at that—” Stacy gasped, pointing at the map. “It’s moving.”The crimson mist wasn't just a pulse anymore. On the projection, it was crawling outward from the trench, branching like veins and stretching toward the continental ley lines with an unnatural and alarming speed.Nyra cursed under her breath. “It’s feeding off residual energy. Every seal Rachel broke, every site the Flame touched—it’s using those fragments to wake itself up.”Rachel leaned over the table, her eyes locked on the spreading pattern with growing dread. “This isn't just a gate opening. It's a full rewrite of the magical structure.”Dylan’s jaw tensed as the implications settled in. “Then we go in and shut it down before it completes whatever it’s trying to do.”“No,” Nyra snapped, her tone sharp and warning. “That’s the origin point of lunar magic. It’s older than all of us combined. You don’t just ‘go in’ to the Vault—you step directly into the source of what shaped your entire bloodline.”Rachel turned tow
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 69: Blood That Binds
Dylan stood at the far end of the infirmary, watching Rachel sleep.Not with tenderness.With fear.Not for her—but for what she’d done. For what she now carried.She had survived absorbing the First Flame.She had done what no one else in the magical world dared attempt—she didn’t defeat power. She claimed it. She swallowed it whole.And now she lay there, peaceful… but different.Something about her energy had shifted. Quieter, more compressed. Not gone. Not dormant. Just… waiting.Dylan’s arms were crossed, muscles tense beneath the sleeves of his shirt. He hadn’t shifted in two days. Hadn’t slept more than an hour at a time.Grayson stepped in behind him, his boots soft on the infirmary tile. “Still watching her breathe?”Dylan didn’t glance back. “I’m waiting to see who wakes up.”Grayson leaned against the wall, arms folded, voice gentler than usual. “You’re afraid she’s not Rachel anymore.”“I know she’s Rachel.” Dylan’s voice was steady, but thin. “But I don’t know how much of
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 68: The War to Come
The penthouse war room glowed with a pale blue light, cast by the rune-mapped floor, as if the building itself sensed the approaching storm. Silence filled the space—not peaceful, but dense with anticipation.Rachel stood at the center, arms folded, eyes locked on the central projection. It displayed three magical convergence points: Ashvale, Edran, and a third, unstable location that flickered with unreadable energy.“She’s building a triangle,” Nyra said as she paced the room, arms crossed tightly. “Each site is anchored to an echo of your bloodline—Elira, Seris, and now…”Rachel didn’t flinch. “Me,” she said quietly.Nyra gave a solemn nod. “Most likely.”“She’s using your connection,” Dylan added, stepping closer to the map. “That’s why the third point won’t stabilize unless you’re near it.”“Or unless she forces it,” Stacy muttered. “What exactly does the spell do?”Nyra hesitated, her voice low. “It resets the leyline distribution across the entire continent.”Stacy’s brow furro
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 67: The First Vessel
The storm rolled in without warning.By morning, the Bunga skyline was hidden behind sheets of rain and fog. Clouds hung low and thick, choking the sun into a dull gray smear. Rachel stood at the center of Nyra’s ritual chamber, dressed in black training gear, bare feet planted on cool stone. Her eyes remained closed, her breathing calm, but the storm outside mirrored the chaos pressing against the edges of her mind.The First Flame’s final words echoed louder each day.*“Elira was the second.”*There had been another.A predecessor. A first.And Rachel knew one thing: if that woman’s existence had been buried, it wasn’t by accident.Nyra lit the final rune candle, her lips moving in a low chant. Stacy stood at the door, arms folded, not interrupting but not relaxing either. Dylan leaned against the wall, bruised and silent. Since Ashvale, his mood had shifted—protective, but distant, as if he was bracing for something they couldn’t name yet.Rachel opened her eyes.“I’m ready.”Nyra
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 66: Shadows Over Ashvale
The journey back to Bunga was quiet.Too quiet.Rachel sat in the back of the armored vehicle, her hand pressed to Dylan’s chest, steadying the healing pulse Nyra had cast over his heart. He hadn’t woken. His skin had warmed slightly, but his breathing remained shallow. She counted every breath like it was a countdown—one she couldn’t afford to lose.Stacy sat across from them, bruised and scraped but alert, her gaze locked on Dylan’s unconscious face. She hadn’t spoken since they left the ruins. Rachel knew why.They’d seen something ancient.Something wrong.And it was awake now.Nyra sat by the rear door, muttering incantations under her breath, casting protective wards over the vehicle as it rolled down the cracked mountain road. Each spell flickered like a shield, a desperate buffer against whatever might still be watching them from the trees.“She took the name ‘The First Flame,’” Rachel said softly, breaking the silence.Stacy looked up. “Do you know who she is?”“Not exactly.
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 65: Beneath the Stone
Rachel didn’t sleep that night. Again.The Council’s eyes had followed her out of the stone chamber with suspicion half-tamed and fear barely concealed. Though they hadn’t imprisoned her—or worse—they hadn’t accepted her, either. She wasn’t a threat, not yet, but she wasn’t an ally, and she could feel it in the silence they left behind. A silence that made the back of her neck itch.Now, hours later, she sat by the window of Dylan’s bedroom, curled up in a chair with her legs pulled to her chest, watching the first blush of morning bleed across the skyline. Another sleepless night. Another weight she couldn’t name pressing into her chest.“You ever going to tell me what they really said in there?”Dylan’s voice came from the bed. He hadn’t turned the light on. He didn’t need to.Rachel didn’t turn around. “You already know.”“They think you’re a coin toss.”She nodded. “And they want to know which side I’ll land on when things break.”Dylan stood and crossed the room. He knelt in fron
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 64: The Calm Before the Storm
Rachel stood before the floor-length mirror in her bedroom, staring at her reflection—not for vanity, but to make sure she still recognized the face staring back. Her eyes no longer flashed silver. Her aura no longer surged uncontrollably. The storm within had stilled, but that quiet carried its own kind of warning.She pressed a palm to her chest. The bond that once strained her soul felt like a scar now—healed but never forgotten. She wasn’t Elira. But Elira was now, undeniably, a part of her.A soft knock on the door broke the silence.“It’s open,” she called.Stacy entered, holding a tray with toast and Nyra’s herbal tea. “If you skip another meal, Dylan’s gonna drag you to the kitchen himself.”Rachel gave a soft smile. “Thanks.”Stacy set the tray down and sat on the edge of the bed. “So… you really feel normal again?”Rachel paused. “I feel different. But not unstable.”Stacy studied her carefully. “What does that mean?”“It means I feel like me. Just... upgraded.” She gave a s
Rejected Billionaire Alpha Chapter 63: After the Eclipse
The air was still. Heavy. The kind of silence that pressed against your eardrums, stretching time itself. Rachel sat at the edge of the ritual circle, the same one that had nearly torn her apart hours earlier. Her legs were folded, spine straight, palms resting against her knees. Her breathing was steady now. No silver light. No flickers of power. No whispers from Elira. Just silence. For the first time in weeks, she felt... alone in her own mind. And yet, not. ere You’re different,” Stacy said, standing in the doorway. “Even your posture. It’s like you’re still you, but... more.” Rachel opened her eyes slowly. “Because I am.” Stacy walked in, barefoot, cautious. “You said you chose both. What does that mean?” Rachel looked up, meeting her gaze. “It means I didn’t destroy Elira. I accepted her.” “You *what*?” “She’s not whispering in my head anymore. She’s part of me. Not separate.” Stacy sat down across from her. “That sounds... dangerous.” “It is,” Rachel admitted. “But d
