Fael’s POV

“Oh how convenient” Mylor whispered as I watched Darius and Seraphine.

You see..

Anger was a familiar companion of mine.

But today for some weird reason it quietly sat in my chest like a living thing as I watched Darius’s arm curve around Seraphine’s waist.. too natural, too possessive, too practiced.

The way she leaned into him, even slightly, felt like a blade that was twisting into where an old wound had never fully healed.

‘She was ours first.. Mine.’ Mylor groaned out again but

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 115 - The beast unleashed

    Darius povFor a few seconds I simply sat there on the cold stone floor of the council chamber, holding her body against my chest while the room watched in silence.No one moved.No one spoke.Even the elders who had spent the last hours shouting accusations stood frozen as though time itself had stalled.Her weight in my arms felt impossibly light.. Too light.The little warmth she had was already leaving her skin.I stared down at her face, trying to convince myself that she would breathe again.That this was not the end.. I had mourned her all these years while she was still alive and now that I had finally embraced her she..“Darius…” Seraphine’s voice came softly beside me but I barely heard it.My fingers tightened around my mother’s shoulder as though I could anchor her to the world if I held her firmly enough.She had waited years to see me again.. Years in chains, years in darkness.. And when she finally saw me…She died.The silence in the chamber stretched.Then Chiron’s v

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 114 - Mother

    Darius povThe dungeon smelled like rust, damp stone, and something far worse.Rot.Decay.I had walked through battlefields that carried the scent of death, but the air down here was different. This place was not made for war.. It was made for silence.For burying things that were never meant to be found.My boots had echoed against the stone floor as Seraphine led me deeper through the corridor. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the weight of ten years was pressing down on my shoulders.My mother had died years ago.I had mourned her.I had carried the emptiness she left behind through every war, every victory, every sleepless night.And yet here I was.Walking toward a cell where she supposedly waited.It didn’t make sense.None of it did.I stopped when Seraphine slowed near the final iron door.The torchlight flickered against the wall, throwing long shadows across the corridor.“This is the one,” she said quietly.My chest tightened.For a moment I couldn’t move.My h

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 113 - Impossible return

    Seraphine POVI could have sworn that the council chamber had been moments away from passing judgment.I had felt it in the air like the stillness before a storm. The elders had been leaning forward, the council table heavy with old authority and older grudges, their voices tightening around the words that would determine Darius’s fate.And then the doors had burst open.Now the entire chamber stood frozen in a stunned silence so complete it almost rang in my ears.Darius stood at the threshold like something carved out of shadow and steel. Like I said dust clung to the hem of his dark cloak, his boots still carrying the grit of a long ride, but none of that diminished the weight of his presence. If anything, it sharpened it.Every eye in the room turned towards him.For a heartbeat, no one moved.Then the murmurs began.“He has returned?”“When did he..”The sound rolled through the chamber like rising wind, growing louder, more frantic, the disbelief spreading from one council sea

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 113 - Althea

    Seraphine’s POVThe smell of damp stone and rust clung to the back of my throat as I stood before the iron bars.For a moment I could not move.The lantern I had picked up was trembling in my hand and it casted a weak glow across the cell, and what the light revealed made something deep in my chest twist painfully.The woman inside barely looked human.Her body was thin in the way only long hunger could create, bones pressing sharply against pale skin that had long forgotten sunlight. Bruises darkened her arms and collarbone, some old and yellowed, others fresh and angry. Her hair, that was probably once silver-blonde, hung in tangled strands around a face that had been reduced to nothing but hollow cheeks and cracked lips.She looked starved and maybe beaten for refusing to eat.“The moon goddess what is this..” I whispered under my breath.The woman flinched violently at the sound of my voice.She was not startled… Terrified I believe is the word to use.She shrank back toward the

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 111 - The descent

    Seraphine POVNight had always changed the palace.During the day the halls were loud with footsteps, commands, servants rushing between duties, guards announcing arrivals, courtiers whispering about alliances and rivalries. But at night the same corridors seemed to remember everything they had witnessed over the years.The arguments.The betrayals.The quiet grief hidden behind closed doors.I walked through those corridors slowly, my steps soft against the stone floor, my cloak pulled around me to guard against the cold that seemed to seep from the walls after sunset.Every turn of the hallway carried a memory.Here was the archway where Fael had once caught my wrist and dragged me into a corner because he could not wait until we reached our chamber.I almost smiled at the memory.Almost.The foolish girl who had laughed that night felt like someone else entirely.Further ahead the long gallery stretched before me, its tall windows dark against the night sky. I remembered walking

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle   Chapter 110 - The quiet rumor

    Seraphine POVThe council chamber did not erupt when the elders called for the end of todays meeting.It simmered.The murmurs were quieter now, more controlled, yet the tension in the room had thickened so heavily that even breathing felt deliberate.I stood where I had finished questioning the witness, aware of the hundreds of eyes watching me, weighing me, judging every word that had left my mouth.Fael remained near the center of the chamber, his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that felt almost unfamiliar.For a moment our eyes met.Then I turned away.I did not have the strength for that conversation. Not now.. Not while the council’s knives were still unsheathed.The elder at the center of the council table raised his staff.“This tribunal will be dismissed while the council reviews the testimony.”His voice echoed across the chamber.No one objected because everyone understood what that meant.They were arguing.They were dividing.And they were deciding how far this little
