Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX: THE FIRST STRIKE
The forest was still, but the tension thrummed beneath the snow like a living thing. I moved along the ridge above the camp, my boots crunching softly in the frozen undergrowth, eyes scanning the darkened treeline. The snow had grown heavier since nightfall, clinging to every branch, every ridge, masking sound and movement. The rogue camp below was alive with disciplined activity, wolves moving in quiet patterns, signals flashing through subtle gestures, every shift a message. I felt the weight of responsibility settle deeper into my shoulders. Tonight, patience had ended; observation had given us enough insight.Tarek walked silently beside me, eyes sharp, hands lightly resting on the hilt of his dagger. Mira followed behind, her ears twitching, her senses straining. We had watched Red Hollow and Nightfang scouts for days, mapping their routines, predicting their behavior, and calculating the exact moment to act. Every wolf in the camp had been briefed without revealing the full scop
Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE: WINTERS GAMBIT
The wind carried a bitter chill as I moved along the ridge above our camp, the snow crunching sharply beneath my boots. The moon, a pale crescent, hung low in the sky, casting long, uncertain shadows between the frost covered trees. My breath misted in the cold air, mingling with the faint scent of pine and smoke drifting from the campfires below. Every sense remained alert, every instinct coiled tight like steel. The rogue camp was awake with quiet activity, wolves moving in disciplined lines, scanning the forest, patrolling the perimeter, eyes bright with anticipation.Tarek walked beside me, his dark silhouette blending with the trees. His expression was unreadable in the dim light, but I could feel the tension radiating off him. Mira followed a few paces behind, silent as always, her sharp eyes sweeping over the forest, ears flicking at even the faintest sound. The patrol reports from earlier had been troubling: Red Hollow scouts had become increasingly bold, encroaching closer to
Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR: THE UNSEEN TIDE
The forest was eerily silent that night, as though the snow itself had swallowed every sound. Even the wind seemed to hesitate before brushing through the pine branches. I moved slowly along the northern ridge, my boots leaving faint impressions in the frost hardened earth, each step deliberate, measured, and mindful of the wolves patrolling behind me. Tarek followed closely, his eyes scanning the treeline, muscles coiled in readiness, while Mira brought up the rear, her senses sharp, ears twitching at the subtlest disturbances in the snow covered silence.The reports from scouts had grown more urgent over the past two days. Red Hollow had moved with calculated audacity, probing further into neutral territory, seeking weaknesses. Nightfang’s scouts were more aggressive now, their presence deliberate, measuring, and almost mocking in their patience. The tension rippled through the rogue camp, but under my command, the wolves moved with quiet discipline, each aware of their role, their
Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE: THE WOLVES IN WAITING
The morning arrived bitter and pale, filtered through the thick blanket of snow that still clung stubbornly to the forest. Frost glazed every branch, and the ground underfoot crunched sharply with each step, carrying the scent of pine and ice. The rogue camp stirred slowly. Wolves emerged from their dens, stretching, yawning, and moving with the precision of a unit that had learned discipline under my watchful guidance.I moved through the camp, boots sinking slightly in the snow, fingers brushing the hilt of my dagger. Tarek walked beside me, silent but ever watchful. Mira followed a few paces behind, her sharp eyes scanning the horizon and the trees, picking up every subtle movement, every sound that might hint at approaching danger. The air was tense, heavy, as if the forest itself anticipated the storm building beyond our borders.“Reports from scouts?” I asked, my voice low, letting the question hang like frost in the air.Tarek nodded. “Two groups crossed the northern ridge over
Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO: FROZEN SIGNALS
The wind sliced through the treetops, carrying the bitter scent of ice and smoke. I stood on the northern ridge, overlooking the rogue camp from a distance. Snow fell steadily, covering the ground in a thick blanket that muffled almost every sound, yet somehow made the faint movements in the forest easier to detect.Tarek was beside me, his dark eyes scanning the treeline, alert but calm. Mira crouched slightly, her senses stretched like a taut wire, ears twitching at the slightest rustle. I could feel the tension coiling in the wolves around us. Their bodies pressed close, muscles ready to spring at the first sign of danger. My own wolf beneath my skin thrummed with anticipation, mirroring the restlessness that had been growing inside me all week.“North ridge patrols report movement again,” Tarek murmured, his voice nearly lost to the wind. “Not rogues. Not Red Hollow either.”I narrowed my eyes. “Then who?”The answer didn’t come immediately. The forest seemed almost frozen, every
Rejected By The Alpha Who Claimed Me CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE : WHISPERS FROM THE NORTH
The injured rogue’s breathing was shallow as the healers carried him into the large canvas shelter we had built near the edge of the clearing. I followed closely behind Mira, the cold wind brushing past my face as we stepped inside. The scent of herbs, blood, and damp fur filled the air.The wolf on the makeshift cot looked young. Younger than most rogues I had seen survive the wilderness this long. His skin was pale beneath the grime, and the claw wounds along his ribs were deep enough to make my wolf bristle uneasily.Mira knelt beside him, already pressing clean cloths against the worst of the bleeding.“Hold him still,” she said calmly.One of the rogues who had carried him here stepped forward immediately, gripping the young wolf’s shoulders while Mira worked.I crossed my arms and watched quietly.The claw marks were large.Too large to belong to ordinary wolves.My eyes narrowed slightly.“These wounds weren’t made by rogues,” I said.Mira didn’t look up.“No.”Tarek stood near
