“And now…” Gerard’s voice rasped like rusted iron scraping over bone. Beneath the dim, swirling haze of silver and shadow magic, the ancient obsidian dagger in his grip glinted with a sickening, lethal promise. “…we can begin.”

He lunged.

“BUCK!”

My body moved before my conscious mind could register the threat. The burning mark over my heart flared into a blinding burst of heat, pushing me forward like a cannon shot. I slammed into Buck’s side with every ounce of momentum I had, taking us both

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Mother Behind the Crown

    “I'm the woman who ruled this realm before your first life.”Her voice didn't just drift through the silver forest; it thrummed through the very soil beneath our boots, vibrating with a heavy, ancient power that made the hair on my arms stand on end.The woman stepped into the pale moonlight, her silver eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that pulled the oxygen straight from my lungs. She smiled—a tragic, beautiful expression that looked painfully familiar.“…Because, Athena… I am your real mother.”My heart slammed against my ribs before stopping completely. The silver trees around us seemed to tilt, the sky spinning in a dizzying blur of indigo and starlight.“No,” I choked out, taking an instinctive step back into the dust. “No, that’s… that’s impossible. My mother is back in the cavern—”Before the words could fully leave my lips, Buck moved. With a low, territorial snarl, he stepped directly in front of me, his massive broadsword unsheathed in a single, fluid motion. The ste

    “And now…” Gerard’s voice rasped like rusted iron scraping over bone. Beneath the dim, swirling haze of silver and shadow magic, the ancient obsidian dagger in his grip glinted with a sickening, lethal promise. “…we can begin.”He lunged.“BUCK!”My body moved before my conscious mind could register the threat. The burning mark over my heart flared into a blinding burst of heat, pushing me forward like a cannon shot. I slammed into Buck’s side with every ounce of momentum I had, taking us both airborne just as Gerard’s poisoned blade whistled through the space where his neck had been a millisecond prior.CLANG!The tip of the dark dagger struck the ancient marble floor right beside Buck’s ear, showering his face with razor-sharp stone splinters. Before Gerard could reset his stance, Buck’s massive arms locked securely around my waist, rolling us across the dusty stone until we slammed against the base of a fallen pillar.“Athena!” Buck gasped, his breath coming in ragged, terrified bu

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Doorway of Blood

    The towering, monstrous hand forged of pure shadow lunged straight out of the open throne, its clawed fingers extending toward Buck’s chest like a cluster of iron spears.“NO!”The scream tore from my throat before my brain could even process the movement. I threw myself directly into the trajectory of the monster, thrusting both of my hands outward. Blinding, celestial silver flame exploded from my palms, expanding into a thick, shimmering barrier of raw wolf-magic right in front of Buck.The shadow hand slammed into my barrier with the force of a collapsing mountain.BOOM!The impact detonated through the subterranean vault, sending a shockwave that rattled the ancient pillars and blew stone dust across the floor. Buck fell backward onto his spine, clutching his burning chest as he gasped for air.“Athena!” he yelled over the roaring wind.“I’ve got you!” I screamed, my feet sliding backward across the stone as I poured every drop of my soul into the silver shield.CRACK.A thin, ja

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Father Behind the Throne

    “He was your father.”The four words struck harder than any physical blow I had ever taken. They sliced through the chaotic noise of the subterranean vault, shattering the fragile reality I had spent twenty-two years building.I stared blindly at the First Alpha’s shadowy presence swirling around my brother's possessed frame.“My... my father?” I whispered, my voice sounding hollow and distant, like a echo in a void.Damon’s lips—curled into that dark, ancient smirk—parted as the creature’s multi-layered voice resonated from his throat. “Yes, little Luna.”“No...” I shook my head frantically, taking a step back into the dust. “No, that’s impossible! My father was a high-ranking Beta of the Moonborne! He died in the fire!”Across the chamber, my mother covered her mouth with both hands, her entire body wracked with silent, hysterical sobs. Beside her, the First Wolf bowed its massive, scarred head in mournful silence.Buck immediately stepped in front of me, his shadow casting a protec

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Vessel

    He was the real vessel all along.”The words dropped into the subterranean vault like a heavy lead weight, echoing off the fracturing obsidian walls until the very dust seemed to vibrate with their horror.I stared at Damon.My brother stood completely still in the center of the smoking debris. He didn't drop his sword. He didn't breathe. The black mark across his bare chest pulsed beneath his torn, blood-stained shirt with a rhythmic, sickly rhythm.Once.Twice.Then a third time, bursting outward with thick, ink-black veins that burned beneath his flesh like liquid fire.“Damon...?” I choked out, my voice trembling in the suffocating silence.He slowly turned his head to look at me. For the first time in my life—past the arrogance, past the bitterness, past every cruel lie he had ever spat to protect himself—I saw pure, unadulterated terror in my brother’s eyes.“Athena...” His voice was barely a whisper, thin and ragged. “Stay... stay away from me.”I shook my head, my chest heavin

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Alpha I Refused to Kill

    “ATHENA, IF YOU LOVE HIM—KILL ME BEFORE I KILL HIM.”Nyx’s desperate, soul-shattering plea echoed through the dark caverns of my mind, drowning out the roaring collapse of the stone walls around us.I stood frozen in the center of the subterranean vault. My right hand was raised toward Buck, my palm glowing with a terrifying sphere of pitch-black, crackling energy.One command. One single, fluid flick of my wrist, and I could tear the man I loved into ash.The realization sent a wave of icy horror through my blood, temporarily piercing the suffocating fog of ancient, ancient power that claimed my body.“Run, Buck...” I whispered again, my own voice fighting desperately against the demonic vibration echoing in my throat. “Please... run!”Buck didn't move. He stood ten paces away, his heavy broadsword hanging loosely at his side, his dark blue eyes locked onto mine with a fierce, unwavering devotion that defied the divine terror radiating from my skin.“I won't,” he said, his voice quie
