The night did not settle after the delegations left.

It stretched.

Aria felt it in the halls of the mansion, in the way the stone seemed to hum beneath her feet as she walked beside Damien. The world had exhaled her name, and now it waited to see what shape she would take.

Being seen, she was learning, was heavier than being hunted.

They moved in silence through the upper corridors. Guards bowed as they passed, not deeply, not fully, but enough to mark the shift. Respect tinged with uncertainty

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 90: The Line That Moves

    No one spoke as the fog spread.Not because they didn’t have words.Because none of them were strong enough to hold what they were seeing.The gray line crawling across the basin wasn’t fast.It didn’t rush.Didn’t surge.It simply advanced.Steady.Patient.Certain.Like time itself had chosen a direction.Arin couldn’t look away.Every instinct screamed that he should step back.Run.Turn around and drag them all away from this place.But his feet stayed planted at the ridge.Because something inside him was locked onto the fog the way iron locks to a magnet.“It’s not supposed to do that,” Lena whispered.Her voice sounded small.Fragile in a way Arin had never heard before.“The stories never said it moved.”“They never said a lot of things,” Soren replied quietly.His eyes never left the basin.Kael stepped forward.One step too close to the edge.His blade still hung at his side, tight in his grip.“Then the stories were wrong.”“No,” Arin said.The word slipped out before he co

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 89: The First Crack

    Dawn arrived like a lie.Soft gold spilled through the trees, birds dared their morning songs, and mist clung low to the earth like nothing in the world had changed.But everything had.Arin felt it the moment he stood.A quiet wrongness.Not pain.Not weakness.Something subtler.Like a note just slightly off-key in a song only he could hear.---They broke camp in silence.No one said it, but they all moved faster than usual.Efficient.Tight.As if staying still too long might let the night catch up with them.Kael packed the last of the supplies with sharp, clipped movements.Lena rolled blankets without humming like she normally did.Even Soren seemed heavier somehow.Older.More watchful.---Arin said nothing.Because he didn’t trust what might come out if he tried.---They started walking as the sun climbed.The path wound downward now, deeper into the valley that led toward the Hollow’s outer reach.The forest had changed.Not dramatically.But enough.Leaves were darker.Th

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 88: The Shape of Fear

    No one went back to sleep.The fire burned lower, embers glowing like watchful eyes in the dark, but none of them moved to feed it. The night had shifted. Something invisible had stepped into the clearing and refused to leave.Arin sat with his elbows on his knees, fingers laced so tightly they hurt.He welcomed the pain.It reminded him he was still here.Still himself.At least… he hoped.---Lena hadn’t moved from his side.Her shoulder pressed against his, solid and warm, a quiet defiance against the cold creeping into the world. She didn’t ask more questions. Didn’t push.But he could feel her attention like a steady flame.Waiting.Not demanding truth.Just offering space for it.---Kael paced near the edge of the clearing.Back and forth.Back and forth.Like a caged predator trying not to become one.Soren stood farther out, half swallowed by shadow, eyes scanning the trees as if expecting the dark itself to move.Maybe it would.Maybe it already had.---“It wasn’t just a vi

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 87: The Hollow Breathes

    Arin didn’t remember falling asleep.One moment he was staring into the fire, watching the embers pulse like slow heartbeats.The next, he was somewhere else.And he knew instantly this wasn’t a dream.---There was no forest.No fire.No night sky stitched with distant stars.Only fog.Thick, colorless, endless.It pressed against him from every direction, cold and damp, clinging to his skin like something alive.He turned slowly.Nothing.No Lena. No Kael. No Soren.Just silence.But not empty silence.Breathing silence.---Arin’s pulse spiked.He didn’t know how he knew.But he knew.The Hollow.---“Not yet,” he whispered, voice thin against the vastness.The fog didn’t respond.But it shifted.Subtly.Like it had heard him.---He took a step back.The ground felt wrong beneath his feet.Too smooth.Too still.Not earth.Not stone.Something older.Something that had forgotten what it meant to be touched by sunlight.---Then he heard it.A sound that wasn’t quite sound.A low,

    They didn’t speak for a long time after that.Not because there was nothing to say.But because every possible word felt wrong.Too small. Too sharp. Too dangerous.The forest moved around them again, cautiously alive now, as if it had been holding its breath and was only just remembering how to exist. Leaves whispered. Branches creaked. Somewhere far off, a bird called once and then fell quiet again, as if it regretted the sound.Arin stood at the center of it all, unmoving.The world hadn’t ended.But something inside him had.And the silence knew it.---“Arin.”Lena’s voice was soft, but it cut through everything.He didn’t look at her.Not yet.Because if he did, he might see fear there.And he wasn’t sure he could survive that.“I’m fine,” he said automatically.The lie came easily.Too easily.That scared him more than anything.---“You’re not,” Soren said flatly.There was no cruelty in his voice.No pity either.Just truth.And somehow that was worse.Arin finally looked up.

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 85: The Truth Between Heartbeats

    Arin couldn’t feel his hands.They were there. He could see them. Fingers slightly curled, trembling just enough to betray the storm inside him. But sensation had vanished, like his body had decided this moment was too sharp to touch.The forest pressed in, silent and listening.Kael’s words hung in the air between them, fragile and irreversible.Like it would recognize you back.Arin stared at him, searching for the punchline. The correction. The moment where Kael would shake his head and say he’d misspoken.It didn’t come.Instead, Kael just stood there, guilt heavy in his posture, like armor he couldn’t remove.And that hurt more than anything.---“You knew,” Arin said.The words didn’t come out loud.They came out hollow.Kael flinched like he’d been struck.“I knew pieces,” he said quietly. “Not everything.”“That’s not what I asked.”The forest felt smaller now. Like the trees were closing ranks, hemming them into a place where lies couldn’t breathe.Arin swallowed hard.“You k
