Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By The Lycan King Chapter 12
I woke up to the smell of burning cedar and the feeling of heavy silk against my skin.For a terrifying second, my brain didn’t understand where I was. I waited for the cold draft of the servant’s quarters. I waited for Lysandra’s shrill voice screaming at me to fetch the morning water.Nothing came.I opened my eyes. Sunlight poured through massive arched windows, catching the gold-painted frescoes on the ceiling. A fire crackled warmly in the massive hearth across the room. I was lying in the center of a mattress large enough to fit five people, tangled in crimson velvet blankets.I sat up, pushing the heavy blankets off my chest.Ronan was sitting in a high-backed leather chair near the heavy oak door. He was fully dressed in dark leather armor, his broken iron chains still hanging from his wrists. His elbows rested on his knees, and his golden eyes were fixed entirely on me."Did you sleep at all?" I asked, my voice thick with sleep."I guarded," Ronan replied. His deep voice fill

Maeve’s words hung in the air.Did you truly believe I didn't know you survived the chasm?My heart skipped a violent beat. A cold drop of sweat slid down the back of my neck. I tightened my grip on my shortsword, the leather wrapping digging sharply into my palm. I thought I had cornered her, but Maeve was looking at me like I was a piece on her chessboard.Ronan shifted closer. His massive shoulder brushed against mine. The furnace heat rolling off his body grounded me, chasing away the sudden chill in my blood. I took a slow, deep breath."You knew," I said, keeping my voice steady. "But you didn't stop me."Maeve stopped on the bottom step of the dais. She didn't look at Dracon, who was bleeding on the floor from his broken nose. She didn't look at Alaric, who was weeping quietly over his pinned hand. She looked only at the glowing gold mark on my chest."Why would I?" Maeve asked smoothly. "Alpha Dracon grew greedy. He tried to spill sacred blood to elevate his spoiled daughter."

The parchment scrolls slapped against the polished marble floor with a sound like a crack of thunder. They tumbled across the dais, unrolling until the dark red wax seals and Alaric’s jagged, arrogant handwriting lay exposed under the blinding light of the crystal chandeliers.The silence in the Grand Throne Room was absolute. No one dared to move; no one even seemed to breathe. Ronan’s crushing King’s Aura kept every guard, lord, and noble pinned to the stone floor, their chests heaving against the suffocating pressure.Alaric stared at the scrolls lying inches from his trembling knees. His face had gone from pale to a sickly, ash gray."Vesper... wait... listen to me—""Read them," I commanded, my voice slicing through the heavy air like a razor. "Or should I read them for you, Alpha? Should I recite the poetry you sent to my sister while I scrubbed the dirt from your boots? Or perhaps the blood-pact ritual where you planned to drain my life force on the winter solstice?"Whispers e

I gripped the hilt of my shortsword so tightly my knuckles turned white.Through the narrow brass spy-grate embedded in the stone landing, the Grand Throne Room opened up like a gilded cage. Floating crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow over a sea of velvet tunics, silk gowns, and silver platters heaped with roasted meats. Over a hundred noble lords, Alpha leaders, and military commanders filled the hall, laughing and sipping wine, completely oblivious to the darkness waiting behind the walls.My eyes swept the floor, cutting straight through the crowd until I locked onto my targets.Alpha Dracon stood near the foot of the raised dais, puffing his chest out in a formal dark-red tunic, holding his goblet high. Beside him, Lysandra preened, her face painted with white powder and ruby lipstick as she gossiped with a circle of southern Duchesses.And right beside them stood Alaric and Cressida.Cressida wore a dazzling silk gown dyed in royal turquoise, a pearl tiara sitting crookedly o

The outer slums of the Royal Capital smelled of damp river mud, coal smoke, and cheap ale. Tall, ramshackle wooden tenements leaned inward over the narrow cobblestone alleys, blocking out the pale blue light of dawn.I kept my hood pulled low over my face, the dark leather cloak wrapped tightly around my body to hide my blood-stained armor. Beside me, Ronan’s massive frame drew wary glances from the few stray workers stumbling home from late shifts, but his dark shadow magic bent the dim morning light around him, blurring his features into an intimidating, nameless silhouette."Down this alley," I whispered, turning off the main thoroughfare into a tight, filthy lane lined with stacked timber crates.At the end of the alley stood a crooked, two-story stone house with boarded-up windows and an overgrown iron gate. A copper sign hung lopsided above the door, its faint lettering reading: Lower City Archival Records.I walked up to the heavy oak door and knocked three times—two quick taps

The high cobblestone highway to the Royal Capital stretched through the pass like an endless black ribbon under the pale winter moon. Behind us, the burning ruins of the Ironfang border post painted the night sky in ugly, angry streaks of orange and crimson.We walked in silence, our paces matched. The cold mountain air bit at my face, but the royal mark burning beneath my cloak radiated a steady, unyielding heat. Inside my chest, the shadow core hummed, entirely awake and hungering for the reckoning ahead.Ronan matched my stride, his dark cloak billowing in the wind like a set of heavy wings. His broken iron shackles clanked softly against his boots with every step."You are quiet, Vesper," he said, his deep voice carrying easily over the whistling gale."I am calculating," I replied without looking at him, my eyes fixed on the horizon. "The border guard is dead, but news of their silence will reach Alpha Dracon by tomorrow afternoon. When his patrol scouts do not return, he will as
