Chapter Thirty Eight : Word From Mooncrest

last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-09-12 13:01:14

Ten days after the battle, a rider arrived from the west.

He came alone, which was itself notable, and he carried the markings of Mooncrest on his travel cloak, which was more notable still. The kingdom had gate guards trained now to be cautious with any unexpected arrival, and the rider was held at the outer wall and questioned thoroughly before word reached me that he had come specifically asking for the Lycan heir by name.

I met him in the small receiving room off the great hall with Rowan b

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Seven : The Wedding

    The morning of the wedding arrived clear and bright, the kind of autumn day that felt deliberately generous, as though the season itself had decided to cooperate with everything the kingdom had been building toward.Sable came to help me dress, along with two of the kitchen staff who had become friends over the months, and the small room filled with the particular warmth of women preparing another woman for something significant. My gown had been made by the kingdom's finest seamstress, dark and rich in colour rather than the traditional white I had worn to my rejection ceremony, embroidered along the collar and sleeves with the same bloodline pattern that marked my mother's ceremonial garment, still folded carefully in her old chest.I had asked for that specifically. Not white, not the innocent hopeful colour of a girl who did not yet understand what waited for her. Something deeper. Something that honoured the woman I had become through everything that followed that terrible night.

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Six : The Night Before The Wedding

    The night before my wedding, I could not sleep.This surprised no one who knew me well by now, least of all myself, though the quality of this sleeplessness felt different from the fear that had kept me awake the night before the battle. This was something closer to anticipation, a fullness in my chest that made stillness feel impossible even as my body craved rest.I gave up trying eventually and went to find Cora, who I suspected would still be awake given her tendency toward late hours during periods of significant preparation.I found her instead in the corridor outside my rooms, as though she had anticipated I might come looking."Could not sleep," I said, unnecessary given the late hour and my clearly wakeful state."I remember this feeling," Cora said, falling into step beside me as I began walking without any particular destination. "The night before something large arrives, when the mind refuses to quiet no matter how exhausted the body might be.""Did you experience this you

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Five : Wedding Preparations

    The kingdom threw itself into wedding preparations with an enthusiasm that surprised me.I had expected, given the recent battle and the ongoing tension with the north, that a wedding might feel like an indulgence the kingdom could not fully afford. Instead I learned quickly that the people needed exactly this. After years of holding on through difficulty, after a battle that had asked everything of them, a wedding felt less like extravagance and more like proof that the future they had fought for was actually arriving.Cora took charge of much of the planning, which surprised no one, and I found myself grateful for her steady guidance through decisions that felt, at times, overwhelming in their sheer number. What colours would mark the ceremony. Which traditions from the old dynasty should be honoured and which had faded enough that reviving them felt more performative than meaningful. How large the celebration should be, given both the kingdom's continued vigilance toward the north

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Four: Telling The Kingdom

    We told Cora first.She was in the small sitting room off the kitchen where she often spent her evenings, mending something with the same careful attention she brought to everything, and when I held up my hand to show her the ring her needle stopped mid stitch and she looked at it for a long silent moment before her eyes filled."Finally," she said, which was not quite the reaction I expected but which made both Rowan and me laugh."Finally?" I said."I have watched that man carry himself like a mountain for six years," she said, setting aside her mending entirely now. "Steady and immovable and completely closed off from anything that might actually reach him. And then you arrived, half broken from a border town with nothing but a bag and a wounded heart, and within weeks he was different. I told myself I was imagining it. I was not imagining it."Rowan looked faintly embarrassed by this account, which I found endearing given how rarely I saw him anything close to flustered.Cora stoo

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Three: Six Months

    Six months passed with the particular quality of time that moves both quickly and slowly at once, depending on which day you asked me to measure it.The kingdom rebuilt steadily. The wounded from the battle healed, mostly, though two of Sable's grave cases left lasting injuries that would shape how those warriors served going forward, a reality the kingdom absorbed with the same practical care it brought to everything. The eastern gate was reinforced further, lessons from the battle folded carefully into its defenses. The southern approach, which had nearly broken, received new attention and new fortification under Dara's careful direction.I trained still, every day, though the desperate urgency of the pre-battle weeks had settled into something steadier and more sustainable. Gareth adjusted the schedule to reflect a kingdom no longer racing against an immediate deadline, though he made clear, in his characteristically understated way, that readiness was never something you achieved

  • Rejected By My Alpha, Chosen By The Lycan King   Chapter Forty Two : Her Words

    I went to my mother's rooms again on a quiet afternoon two weeks after the council's judgment.Cora walked with me this time rather than waiting outside. She said she thought I might want company for the harder parts, and she was right in a way I had not fully anticipated until I was sitting again at that writing table with the rain long gone and clear afternoon light replacing it.I took down the journals from the shelf, three of them, and began where the first one started, working through her handwriting slowly, my mother's voice becoming clearer to me with every page.She had been ordinary in the ways that mattered most. She worried about small things alongside the large ones. She wrote about a dress she liked and a friend she had disagreed with and, later, about my father, in language that made me understand exactly what she had written in that unfinished letter about the particular quality of being happy without yet knowing to treasure it.Cora sat quietly nearby, occasionally of
