“You don’t close your eyes, Cassie! Stay with me! We’re going to get you home,” he pleaded, the desperation formed a lump in his throat.

At the palace, Daisy watched in horror as the search party trampled through the trees, carrying a figure in Mark’s arms that made her heart stop. Cassie was pale, translucent skin marked with blood across her cheeks. As anxiety blitzed her mind, it collided with a rush of excitement from what was about to happen.

“No…” she said, a mix of disbelief and dread

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 100

    Lark's POVMy hand was shaking when I woke up.Not violently. Just enough to be noticed when I reached for the water jug on the bedside table and I had to use both hands to keep it steady. I set it down carefully and sat on the edge of the bed for a moment in the grey morning light, willing it to stop.It stopped eventually.It always stopped eventually. That was the part I held onto. It always passed. The shaking, the dizziness, the pressure that gathered behind my eyes some mornings was like something pushing from the inside out. It came, and it went, and I functioned in between and nobody had to know.Cassie was still sleeping. I watched her for a moment before I stood up. She looked younger when she slept. She'd been watching me since we left Vale Pack. I knew she had. I could feel it, those small sideways glances she thought I didn't catch. .I got dressed quietly and left before she woke up.Mark found me in the courtyard before I'd even had a chance to settle back into the

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 99

    Cassie's POVWe left Vale Pack just after sunrise.Jamie stood at the gates to see us off. He looked better than he had when we arrived. Still not fully himself, but the fog was gone from his eyes. He stood straight for the first time since we'd gotten there.He looked at me for a long moment before I mounted the horse.There was so much sitting in that appearance. Years of it. Things that probably deserved to be said out loud and never would be.A lot is better left unsaid."Thank you," he said finally."Take care of yourself," I told him.That was all.I took the reins, steadying myself. A gentle squeeze of my legs set it moving.I didn't look back.The ride home was quiet.Lark set the pace. Steady and unhurried, moving through the tree line where the morning light came through in broken pieces. I rode beside him without talking. I didn't have much to say, and he seemed to feel the same way.I was too busy watching him when he wasn't looking.It started with his hand. The one hold

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 98

    Cassie's POVI didn't sit.Neither did she, after a moment. She had realized that sitting across from me like two people having tea wasn't going to work. She stood by the window instead, arms loose at her sides, looking out at the Vale Pack grounds like she owned them.Maybe she thought she did.I stayed near the door.Not blocking it. Just close enough that I knew exactly how many steps it would take to reach it if I needed to move fast. Old habit. The kind you develop when you've had to run before.The silence stretched.I wasn't going to fill it. That was her job. She called this meeting.She turned from the window eventually. Looked at me the way you look at something you've been thinking about for a long time and are finally seeing up close."You look like her," she said. "Our mother. Around the eyes."Our mother? What on heck is she trying to do? I said nothing. She smiled slightly. Like my silence was the answer she expected. "You didn't know her long enough to remember t

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 97

    Cassie's POVI literally froze to the spot. My expression must have given her pleasure. The smile on her face was evident as she strode.Nobody moved. The shock rooted our feet to the floor.The room had gone the kind of still that happens when something impossible walks through a door and everyone present has to decide at the same time whether their eyes are lying to them.Jamie saw her first.Or maybe he'd heard her voice before I turned around. Either way when I looked at him his face had gone completely white. The cup in his hands tilted without him noticing. The warm liquid spilled over his fingers and he didn't feel it."Alexa." Her name came out of him like something he'd been carrying for a long time and had no idea how to put down.She looked at him briefly. Something moved across her face. Quick and complicated and gone before I could name it."Jamie," she said simply.That was all. Just his name. Like an acknowledgment. Like checking a box.He stared at her. His newly cle

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 96

    Cassie's PovCord shifted the linen in his arms.He had the look of a man who wasn't sure if he was in trouble or not. That careful stillness people get when a Luna stops them in a corridor and looks at them the way I was looking at him."Is everything alright?" he asked."I just need to ask you something," I said. "Walk with me."He fell into step beside us without arguing. That was the thing about betas. Obedience was built into them the same way loyalty was. He didn't ask where we were going or why. He just followed me.I kept my pace easy. Unhurried. I didn't want him defensive."How long have you been Jamie's beta?" I asked."Six years," he said."So you were here when Alexa was."A slight pause. "Yes.""Were you close to her?"Another pause. Longer this time. "She was my Alpha's mate. I respected her the way you respect someone in that position." He chose his words carefully. "We weren't close."I nodded like that was all I needed. Let a few seconds pass."Jamie asked you to h

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 95

    Cassie's POVI didn't sleep well that night.Vale Pack gave us quarters in the east wing. Clean rooms, good beds, everything a visiting Luna and her Alphas were entitled to. The staff assigned to us was quiet and careful not to look at me too long.A young lowly omega. Our room was guarded by two guards, plus the ones that followed us from our pack.Their hospitality was amicable.I lay on my back in the dark staring at the ceiling.The ring was out there somewhere in this pack. I could feel it the way you feel a storm coming before the clouds arrive. Lark's voice came quietly from beside me. "You're thinking aloud.""Ohh, I'm sorry.""Don't be." He paused and then sat erect. "What is it?"I breathe out."The curse feels too alive," I said. "Too fresh. Someone is still feeding it from somewhere inside this pack,” I turned to look at him in the dark. “Which curse?” He looked utterly confused.He wasn't a healer , so he was oblivious of what I was talking about, as well as everyone

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 61

    The sword flew past Cassie’s face with a whoosh of heat and steel. It slammed into the Red Claw soldier creeping up behind her, the traitor she hadn’t sensed. The blade struck deep into his chest, throwing him backward with a sickening crunch against the blackened wall. Cassie blinked, stunned.

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 60

    Sparks lit the sky before the war had done so.A fierce howling of wind moved through the Red Claw pack, heavy with the smell of metal, magic, and smoke.Red flags snapped angrily in the wind, tied up in their own rage as though they could smell blood on the horizon.Torchlight blazed along the ram

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 59

    Cassie "You shouldn’t have come alone." The voice came from nowhere. It wasn’t loud, but it crawled through the air like smoke. I stopped. The crypt was quiet, the kind of quiet that presses on your chest. Stone walls circled me, marked with strange symbols that pulsed faintly, like they were

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 58

    CassieSmoke curled from the eastern tower, but it wasn’t fire, at least not yet. Just the scent of iron and oil, soldiers sharpening blades, war drums echoing in practice rather than in blood.Greyer was preparing.And I was expected to lead.As Luna, they looked to me for strength. As the girl wh
