The monotonous beeping of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic greeted Seth as his eyes flickered open. For a moment, the world blurred into hazy white. The ceiling above him was unfamiliar, and the dull ache in his ribs reminded him that he wasn’t waking from just another dream but from a brutal brush with death.

It took a moment before he saw her. Viola.

Her head was resting on the side of the hospital bed, her auburn hair spilling across the sheets like a comforting flame. She was asleep, one hand loosely holding his. Despite the sting in his side and the fog still thick in his mind, Seth felt his warmth spread through him. The sight of her curled beside him—so devoted, so present—reminded him that he made the right choice.

Not Rashel. Not her constant weak sobbing that mostly left him restless. Viola was loyal yet strong, warm yet solid. She was exactly what he needed.

His fingers twitched, gently brushing her knuckles. Viola stirred, blinking away sleep from her eyes. The m

  • Rejected But Wanted By The Alpha King   Chapter 95

    When Seth returned home, Viola was still awake. She was lying in bed but awake. She wanted to take the potion before he returned, but for some reason, she changed her mind, and for good reason.When Seth got in, she noticed he was pissed because he didn’t take his time to carefully shut the door since she was supposedly asleep already. Instead, he banged the door behind him and huffed and puffed as he took off his boots and threw them to the far side of his room, as opposed to carefully setting them on the shoe rack like he usually did.She had no idea what could have pissed him off so much, but she had no plans to be part of it. So, Viola shut her eyes and willed herself to sleep. She would commence her operations in the morning.***

  • Rejected But Wanted By The Alpha King   Chapter 94

    The city of Denver never truly slept. Even past midnight, the skyline still shimmered as the tall glass buildings blinked with lights, creating an illusion of tiny stars. Cars still sped past the café where she sat. She guessed the occupants were young people, probably on their way to a party, or even coming back from one. To be young and free—some part of her missed that life.But in this corner café where she sat, it was the opposite. It was warm and slow and felt old and worn. Like the people in here had all gone through fire and come out with scars.Slow jazz music sifted through the air, creating ambience with the fairy lights overhead and on some parts of the wall.Her fingers curled around the cup of hot chocolate in her hand, her m

    The highway stretched for hours as Viola drove through the night, hurrying in a bid to make it to her destination while the full moon still shone and then back home by morning. No one knew where she was going. Seth wasn’t around when she left, and she hadn’t left a message in case he returned. She was going into the far South to find the moon goddess.She hadn’t even told Merikh where she was going, and she didn’t plan for him to find out at all.She wanted to do this without his interference or even his knowledge, because this was her game plan. Merikh was expecting her to start going for the kill now that Seth had developed an infatuation for Rashel, but she wasn’t going to do that. If she helped Merikh to become Alpha, then his wife, Kira, would be his Luna and not her. And she knew that after he got what he wanted, Merikh would discard her like used goods. So, she was going to do all it took to help Seth remain Alpha for as long as she

    The late morning breeze was clean and fresh. Summer was just passing by, and the heat with it, so it was the type of air that always felt light in your lungs and lifted your spirits.Rashel sat on her favorite park bench. It was the same one she had sat on the first day she brought Kael to the park, and the same one she has continued to sit on since then.She remembered the first day she brought him here, how excited he was, and how his little legs wobbled as he learned to walk and stand for long periods. But today, he ran ahead on the winding park path, his tiny boots crunching through fallen leaves, squealing as pigeons exploded into the air around him. He giggled with every flutter and turned to look at Charlene before running to meet the other kids up ahead.Rashel smiled as she sipped from the Styrofoam cup containing coffee. This park had become a part of their routine now. Just Charlene and the two of them bonding, and she watching Kael grow without the i

    Seth stayed up until three in the morning; he hadn’t slept for days and had himself locked in his home office for several hours every day, surrounded by files and payment receipts and addresses. Anything that was instrumental in his investigation, Seth took it and tried to piece together all these bits.He traced patterns that ordinarily shouldn’t have aligned under normal circumstances, but they did. It made him realize that most of it was intentional. Most probably to throw off anyone who decided to dig. But Seth was too determined to quit. There was no way on earth that he would stop now that he was close to finding out the truth.Viola’s travel records. Her sudden, undocumented trips out of the city. Private shuttle transfers. Viola had access to specific airfields reserved only for Alphas, things that no Luna should have access to.Every single one of Viola’s supposed business trips aligned too closely with Merikh’s last known

    Rashel planned her next steps with precision. The following weeks were well played.Rashel played her role perfectly. Soft enough for Seth to feel comfortable with her, but never letting him get closer. She knew when to draw the line, and so far, Seth had been sensible enough not to bring up talk about getting back together. Maybe he thought their little meetings would naturally blossom into something else, which was impossible.Rashel had let him stay longer than usual that evening when he came to meet them at the park. She even let him see Kael this time. And he brought along a stuffed toy for Kael.“You got this on your way here?” Rashel asked, surprised at the gesture.“Yeah. I d
