SIERRA'S POV

The morning light spilled over the valley like gold poured from the heavens. From the balcony of my hall, I watched the mist curl over the roofs of Ithaca, the settlement the world called a haven for rogues, but I called home.

Seven years ago, this land was a ruin between territories, nothing but a rural land with sparse settlement. Now, smoke rose from chimneys, laughter echoed from the training grounds, and the scent of baking bread drifted through the air. Children ran barefoot

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 107 — The False Betrayal

    SIERRA'S POV Isaak's wolf form froze, golden eyes widening in shock. Rhaedon skidded to a halt beside him, a low growl rumbling from his chest, confusion and betrayal etching his features.The air thickened with tension, the clash of bodies around us fading into a distant roar. My heart pounded as I met Isaak's gaze, those golden eyes burning with a mix of fury and hurt that sliced deeper than any blade. He shifted then, fur rippling away to reveal his human form, muscles coiled like a spring ready to unleash. Naked and scarred from the fight, he stood tall, fists clenched, his chest heaving with ragged breaths."Sierra," he snarled, voice raw over the din. "What the hell are you doing?"I held my ground, blade still gripped tight, blood trickling down the hilt to stain my fingers. Draven shifted beside me, his massive black wolf form pressing close, a possessive rumble vibrating through the ground. Rebels flanked us, their snarls a wall of sound, eyes locked on the intruders.Rhaedo

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 106 — Rage Unleashed

    SIERRA'S POV The howl grew louder, branches snapping in the distance. Time ticked down, my choice hanging in the balance.My mind raced, torn between the void Draven promised to fill and the life I had known with Isaak and Rhaedon. His words echoed, tempting me with power I had never imagined. Ruler over all packs. A bond that would make me whole again, stronger than before. But at what cost? The emptiness clawed at me, a constant reminder of what had been ripped away.Draven's eyes bored into mine, patient yet insistent. The sounds of pursuit grew frantic, wolves crashing through the underbrush like an unstoppable storm."Decide now, Sierra," he said, his voice a low rumble that sent an unwelcome shiver down my spine. "They come for you, but with me, you command them."I glanced toward the trees, heart hammering. I could not shift, could not run as a wolf. My blade lay nearby, glinting in the firelight, a poor substitute for the claws I once wielded. But it was mine. If I refused hi

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 105 — Alone

    SIERRA'S POV The world narrowed to the rough bark digging into my back and Draven's unyielding grip. My chest heaved, lungs burning from the scream that still echoed in my ears. But inside, nothing. No warm thread pulling me toward Isaak's steady resolve. No flicker of Rhaedon's wild energy. The sigil over my sternum pulsed once, cold and empty, then went dark.Draven released me, stepping back with satisfaction curling his lips. His violet eyes bored into mine, searching for something I refused to give."There," he said. "Clean slate. No more distractions."Guards dragged me away from the tree, their hands rough on my arms. I stumbled, legs weak from the severing, but fought the urge to collapse. The distant howls from the glade sharpened, Rhaedon's voice cutting through the night. He was free, fighting his way out. But it didn't matter. The connection was gone. I couldn't feel his triumph or pain.They hauled me through the trees to a cluster of tents, shoving me into one that reek

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 104 — The Fourth Wolf

    SIERRA'S POV My blade clattered free, and darkness closed in as a cloth pressed over my mouth, the world spinning into darkness.Consciousness returned in fragments, the metallic tang of blood on my tongue, ropes biting into my wrists, the sway of movement like being carried over rough terrain. My head throbbed, vision blurring as I forced my eyes open. The air was cooler here, laced with pine and damp earth, not the dry desert heat. A forest camp, hidden under canopy.I tested the bonds, twisting my hands behind my back. Tight, but not unbreakable. Rhaedon. Where was he? The bond hummed faintly, a distant echo of pain and presence. Isaak's worry pulsed like a heartbeat, far but steady. Relief flooded me, brief and sharp.Voices murmured nearby, low and urgent. Rebels, no doubt. Kael's smug face flashed in my mind, his welcome a taunt. I needed to move, to find Rhaedon and get out before they tightened the noose.A boot nudged my side, rough. "She's awake. Boss wants her in the clear

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 103 — The Breaking Point

    SIERRA'S POV The pain intensified, a scream echoing in my mind. Rhaedon's defiance, cracking under the assault. Then, silence.I clutched at my chest, the sigil throbbing like a fresh bruise. The cave walls closed in, the air thick with the scent of blood and sweat from our earlier wounds. Isaak's arms tightened around me, his body a solid anchor in the storm of agony."Sierra, breathe. Tell me what's happening."His voice cut through the haze, urgent and low. I forced my eyes open, meeting his gaze. Worry etched deep lines on his face, his hand stroking my back in slow circles."It's Rhaedon. The bond... it broke through for a second. They're beating him. Badly. I felt the whips, the punches. He's fighting them, but..."The words stuck in my throat. Tears blurred my vision, hot and unrelenting. Isaak's eyes flashed with that feral silver of his wolf side."Bastards. We'll rip them apart. All of them."He stood, pulling me up with him. Garrick hovered at the cave entrance, his bandag

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 102 — Silence in the Bond

    SIERRA'S POV The camp stirred, but the void terrified me. What was breaking us?Isaak's hand gripped my shoulder, his voice rough in the night air."Sierra? Talk to me."I shook my head, heart pounding as I reached through the bond again. Still nothing from him, just that echoing emptiness where his steady heat should be. Rhaedon's presence hummed nearby, sharp with worry."I can't feel you," I whispered, turning to where Isaak stood. His face was pale in the firelight, eyes wide."What do you mean? I'm right here."But he wasn't, not in the way that mattered. The sigil on my chest burned cold, like ice under my skin. I pressed a hand to it, willing the connection to steady.Then, a spark. Faint at first, then stronger. Isaak's fury and confusion flooded back, slamming into me."There," I breathed, slumping against him. "You're back."He pulled me close, his breath ragged. "What the hell was that? Felt like a knife in my gut."Rhaedon stepped up, scanning the shadows. "Twice now. Fir
