SIERRA'S POV

Isaak didn’t hesitate. The moment the words left my mouth, he moved like the world had already caught fire.

“How long?” he asked, already turning toward the door, command snapping into place.

“I don’t know,” I said, forcing air into my lungs. My hands were shaking now that the vision had released me. “Soon. Very soon.”

Isaak turned back to me, hands on my shoulders now, solid, grounding. “Pack essentials only. We move in minutes.”

“You believe me,” I said, breathless.

His eyes softened despite himself. “I always believe you.”

I felt my heart squeeze at the words and for a second my chest tightened so badly I thought I might cry, or break, or do something humiliating and human. Instead I nodded, because that was all I trusted myself with.

Isaak opened the door and sent the command through the bond in a sharp, controlled pulse. Moonbane stirred in response. Wolves waking. Guards moving. No panic, just motion.

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 67 — A Dangerous Game

    SIERRA’S POVI caught the blade before it reached Zephyr’s throat.Steel flashed. My hand snapped up on instinct, fingers closing around the flat of the knife hard enough that pain shot up my arm. The trainee froze, eyes wide, breath hitching as the weapon stopped a breath from the child’s skin.The training yard went silent.Zephyr stared at me, confused, wooden practice sword still clutched in his small hands. Nyx gasped behind him.“Sierra—” someone started.“Back away,” I said, voice sharp. Too sharp.The trainee obeyed immediately, hands raised, face pale. Blood slid down my palm in slow, sticky lines. I didn’t feel it. I barely registered the sting.I dropped the knife and pulled Zephyr to me so fast he stumbled, wrapping my body around his without thinking. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt.“Why was he that close?” I demanded.“It’s controlled practice,” the trainer said carefully. “The blade was blunted. He wasn’t in danger.”I laughed once, short and humorless. “He was a

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 66 — Sensations

    SIERRA’S POVI stayed busy and occupied, close to Isaak and the twins and the guards and the noise of the pack house. I told myself the tension in my chest was only exhaustion. That the pulse beneath my skin was just adrenaline refusing to fade but as the days passed, the sensations grew teeth.They came in fragments when I least expected them. When I brushed the twins’ hair. When I stood at the balcony watching patrols shift beneath the moon. When Isaak slept beside me, one arm heavy around my waist like he was anchoring me to the world.Hold.Anchor.Balance.I would flinch, breath catching, my fingers curling against my palm until my nails bit skin. No one noticed. Or if they did, they said nothing. Everyone seemed to have something on their shoulders. Isaak was stretched thin. The entire pack was.News came daily now. Sometimes hourly. Aurelian hadn’t slowed after his message. He had accelerated.One pack burned near the eastern ridge. Another fractured from the inside after their

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 65 – The First Choice

    SIERRA’S POVI decided what I was going to do before noon.Protect the twins.No matter the cost.The pack house hadn’t relaxed after the attack. If anything, it felt tighter, coiled like a muscle that refused to unclench. Guards lined the halls in pairs now, sometimes threes, every entrance watched and examined. Isaak had not left my side all morning.He moved through the pack house with quiet authority, issuing orders without raising his voice, his presence alone enough to keep everyone sharp. His hand brushed my back whenever we walked, subtle but constant, like he needed the reassurance as much as I did.I watched him from the corner of my eye as he spoke with the head guard near the stairwell, his jaw tight, shoulders set. He hadn’t slept much. I could see it in the way his eyes lingered too long on exits, the way his wolf pressed close beneath his skin.He was holding everything together by force of will.The twins were in their rooms with Maera, laughing over something small a

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 64 — Blood Calls Blood

    SIERRA’S POVIsaak stood slowly, like every motion cost him something, then turned toward me. The blood on him was still steaming in the torchlight, dark and thick against his skin. His eyes found mine and everything else seemed to fall away.“Sierra,” he said, voice rough. “Come here.”I realized then that I was shaking, a tremor that started in my chest and worked its way outward, like my body was trying to outrun what had just happened.My feet felt numb as I stepped toward him. He wrapped his arms around me carefully, like I might shatter if he held me too tightly. The moment his chest pressed against my cheek, the strength drained out of me. I clutched his shirt and pressed my face into him, breathing him in like air.He smelled like blood and wolf and smoke.“I’ve got you,” he murmured, over and over, like a promise he needed me to hear. “I’ve got you.”Behind us, the guards finally seemed to remember how to breathe.Isaak lifted his head, his presence rolling out sharp and comm

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned The Rogue Queen    Chapter 63 – The Night of Knives

    SIERRA’S POVMy lungs locked as the hand over my mouth tightened, the pressure calculated and practiced.“Quiet,” a voice breathed near my ear, making my stomach turn.For a split second, panic threatened to take over. The corridor was narrow, the air stale, my back pressed to cold stone. Whoever this was knew exactly how to hold someone, knew where to place their weight, how to silence without killing.That knowledge scared me more than the blade I felt shift against my throat.I twisted, my weight going slack all at once, as I threw my elbow back hard and caught ribs. I ducked and drove my heel down on a foot, felt something crack as the man hissed in pain.The knife nicked my skin as I moved, a hot sting across my throat, but not deep. I grabbed his wrist and shoved it into the wall, stone biting into bone. He growled and swung his free hand, fist catching my shoulder and knocking me sideways. A sharp pain flared through me, but I stayed upright.We crashed into the narrow hallway,
