“My daughter.”

The two words echoed across the ruined courtyard, heavy with a weight that seemed to bend the very air around us.

I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even blink.

My mother stood only a few meters away. Alive.

After twenty-two agonizing years of believing she was nothing more than ash and memory, she was standing in front of me as if time had simply paused, waiting for the exact right moment to return. Her silver eyes were fixed on mine—the identical silver eyes I star

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Blade Between Us

    Damon’s blade slid back out through my ribs with a sickening, wet rasp, leaving behind a white-hot trail of agony that stole the breath straight from my lungs.My knees buckled. Before I hit the slick marble, Buck caught me, his powerful arms wrapping around my waist as he hauled me close against his chest. Blood—warm, sticky, and bright crimson—soaked immediately through my leather armor and onto his hands.“Athena!” Buck’s voice was unraveled, a frantic edge cutting through his usual low Alpha rumble. He pressed his palm against the gaping wound, his jaw clenched so hard the muscles jumped under his skin. “Eddie! Get over here now!”“Hold still,” Eddie barked, dropping to his knees on my other side and pressing his own hands over Buck's to help staunch the bleeding. “Don't talk, Athena. Keep your breathing steady.”Damon backed away, the bloodied sword slipping from his trembling fingers and clattering onto the stone floor. Tears cut clean tracks through the dust on his face. “I had

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Choice That Could Destroy Us

    Darkness swallowed everything whole.I couldn't see. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move.But through the smothering, static hum of the void, I could still hear."Athena!"Buck. His voice sounded miles away, distorted as if calling through deep water.Then my mother's terrified shriek echoed: "Don't let the shadow take her!"A bone-rattling roar shook the foundations of the darkness—my father's voice, raw and frantic: "RUN! GET HER OUT OF HERE!"I fought to flex my fingers. Nothing. I tried to reach inward, to call for Nyx.Silence.For the first time since my wolf had awakened, the inner space of my chest was dead, hollow, and cold.Then, a voice breathed directly into my ear, warm and sickening: "You finally belong to me, Little Star."I knew that voice. The shadow entity."No..." My voice came out as a weak, breathless rasps. "You're... wrong."A low, echoing laugh vibrated through the blackness around me. "Am I?"FLASH!The oppressive dark shattered into blinding light.I stumbled

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Man Behind My Father's Eyes

    "Finally..."The raspy, discordant hum vibrating through my father's throat did not belong to him.I stood rooted to the stone, my whole body locking up in absolute terror.The man I had spent twenty-two agonizing years mourning as ash and bone was kneeling right in front of me. But the eyes staring back into mine were horrifically, fundamentally wrong.Solid, void-like blackness.My mother shrieked in sheer panic, grabbing my shoulder. "Athena, get away from him!"I couldn't move. My boots felt like they were forged into the ancient stone. "Dad...?"His graying head tilted slowly, joint by joint. For one split second, the pitch-black void in his irises flickered, receded, and a familiar, warm hazel returned to his eyes."Athena..."My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. "Dad!"I took a desperate step forward.His face suddenly contorted into a mask of pure agony. "RUN!" he roared, the command exploding from his chest.His skeletal frame jerked violently against the black-iron cha

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Throne Beneath The Moon

    The crimson moon above us bled into pitch blackness.A collective shriek of horror ripped from the throats of every wolf in the courtyard. I stood rooted to the shattered stone, staring up at the eclipsed sky in utter bewilderment as dark, unnatural static hummed through the air.Then, the voice rumbled again, vibrating up through the soles of my boots:"Daughter..."It didn't echo from the forest. It didn't descend from the heavens. It rose from the tectonic split in the earth beneath my feet.My mother's hand clamped onto my wrist like a iron vice. "Athena! Do not speak back to it!"I turned my head toward her, my silver eyes wide. "Why? Who is that?!""Because whatever slumbers beneath these ruins has spent twenty-two years starving for your royal blood!" she cried out over the rising wind.Gerard Kane stood ten paces away, completely still. For the first time since I had been dragged into his shadow world, the arrogant smirk on his face was gone. He looked genuinely, utterly terri

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Voice Beneath the Earth

    The earth fractured violently open.I stumbled two steps backward as a brutal tremor ripped through the stone courtyard floor. Deep fissures spider-webbed through the granite beneath my boots, releasing thick plumes of sulfurous subterranean mist.The silver double-crescent mark etched into the earth burned with blinding intensity, its radiant light spreading across the dirt like glowing, divine veins."Athena!" Buck shouted, his voice desperate over the groaning earth.I barely heard him.Something immense was shifting in the dark depths beneath our feet. Something ancient. Something terrifyingly alive.A hand emerged from the yawning abyss.It was neither human nor wolf. Its fingers were long, regal, and covered in shimmering silver runes that pulsed with a rhythm that matched my own pounding heart.I froze in place.Within my soul, Nyx was dead silent. For the first time since my wolf had shattered her dark bindings, she wasn't growling. She wasn't preparing to kill.She was bowing

  • Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha   The Man With Two Faces

    Elder Bobby Nash’s eyes snapped wide open.For one terrifying, agonizing second, no one drew a single breath. The entire ruined courtyard stood completely frozen under the pale moonlight.I stared down at the legendary Elder lying on the cold, blood-stained stone floor. His broad chest rose slowly, unevenly. His eyes were open—unblinking, dark, and fixed directly on me with an unnatural intensity."Athena..."His raspy voice was barely a whisper against the wind, yet it sliced through the silence like a razor.I stumbled two full steps backward, my boots scraping against the gravel. "No... it can't be..."Buck instantly shifted his broad frame between us, drawing his sword in a fluid, lethal motion.Bobby struggled to lift his head off the stone, a bloody hand reaching outward. "Wait... hear me...""Do not move a single inch, Elder," Buck growled, his Alpha energy flaring so violently the surrounding mist dispersed. "Stay away from her."Bobby’s dark eyes locked onto Buck's tense face
