Chapter 18 — Unwanted Attention

last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-05-09 19:04:06

Lila’s POV

Avoiding Kael should not have been this difficult.

And yet somehow, over the past week, he had become increasingly difficult to escape.

At first, I thought it was just coincidence.

A passing encounter in the corridors. A patrol inspection that happened to overlap with mine. His presence appearing near training rotations he normally never attended.

But then it kept happening.

Too often.

Too deliberately.

And the worst part was that he never acted like he was doing anything unusual.

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 21 — The Revelation

    Lila’s POVThe glamour shattered, like cracking of glass. Silver light splintered violently across the ruined courtyard as the containment spell destabilized around me, fragments of Moonblood magic breaking apart faster than I could force them back under control.And Kael saw all of it.The markings beneath my skin.The silver in my hair and eyes.The power.Me.“...Lila?”The mate bond reacted instantly.Pain pierced through my chest so sharply my breath caught. The magic binding us surged awake in full force after weeks of suppression, unstable, furious and impossible to contain now that recognition had finally happened.No.No, this couldn't be happening.Not him.Not here.Not now.Panic hit harder beneath the anger. Kael knowing meant danger, not just to me, but to every secret that had survived this long buried beneath blood and silence and lies.And the worst part—he looked at me like he finally understood.I hated that look more than I hated the rejection.My fingers tightene

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 20 — Recognition (Dual POV)

    Kael’s POVI did not sleep.The realization sat inside my head, impossible to ignore no matter how many times I tried redirecting my thoughts elsewhere.Selene did not exist.Even then the words felt unreal.By sunrise I was still inside the archives, surrounded by scattered reports and half-burned lanterns, staring at records that led nowhere.No lineage. No history. No past.A fabricated identity placed carefully enough to survive basic scrutiny but hollow once examined closely.And somehow, despite all of that, the thing disturbing me most was not the deception itself.It was familiarity.I leaned back slowly in the chair, closing my eyes briefly as exhaustion dragged heavily at the edges of my thoughts.It shouldn't have been there—the persistent sense of familiarity i felt around her. Every small detail I had dismissed returned with unsettling clarity.The way she moved through unfamiliar spaces like she already understood their structure. The way she never hesitated when choosin

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 19 — Unravelling

    Kael’s POVThe council chamber felt colder than usual.Not physically. Nightbane territory remained warm despite the late hour, the protective magic woven beneath the mountain regulating temperature through the stone itself. But tonight the room carried a different kind of chill—sharp and deliberate, sitting heavy beneath the low glow of blue fire lanterns fixed along the walls.No one spoke as I entered.The circular chamber stretched wide beneath the carved ceiling, ancient symbols etched into black stone glowing faintly where magic pulsed through them. At the center of the room stood the war table—an enormous slab of obsidian layered with shifting territorial markings and ward lines that moved like silver veins beneath the surface. Every seat was occupied, which already told me this was not a routine meeting.Vidar stood near the northern side of the chamber, his expression unreadable as always. Beside him sat Elder Cyrene, fingers folded neatly over the silver wolf-headed cane she

A patrol inspection that happened to overlap with mine. His presence appearing near training rotations he normally never attended.But then it kept happening.Too often.Too deliberately.And the worst part was that he never acted like he was doing anything unusual.That was what made it dangerous.Nightbane moved around him instinctively. Wolves shifted when he entered rooms, conversations lowered, space opened naturally around him like the entire pack breathed in rhythm with his presence.Kael never needed to demand attention.He simply had it.Which meant people noticed when that attention shifted toward someone else.Toward me.I changed my route through the lower corridors sticking to the quieter parts of the park estate where patrol traffic was thin.

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 17 — The Edge of Control

    Kael’s POVThe forest is never quiet at night.Anyone who thinks it is just does not know how to listen.Every movement means something. When leaves move under something you cannot see or when the wind blows through the trees or when something alive makes a noise in the distance.Even the air felt heavier here, thick with scent and memories like everything that had passed through here left behind a trace.I stood just beyond the boundary line where Nightbane territory thinned into something less controlled. The wards hummed softly beneath the forest ground their protective magic pulsing in a rhythm I knew by heart. The magic was still stable and intact, but something about it felt... altered. Not broken or weakened but disturbed in a way that didn’tl eave a visible trail.My gaze scanned slowly across the tree-line searching for the source of what could've possibly been able to do that. Then a shift of air brushed past me, not wind but presence.I didn't turn immediately I already kn

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 16 — Sabotage begins

    Lila’s POVA month.That was how long it took for Nightbane to begin trusting me.Not completely or blindly, but enough.Enough to stop watching every movement I made. Enough to let me work within their systems without question. Enough… to make a mistake.I stood in the operations hall watching as information moved through the pack with efficiency. Adjusted patrol rotations, reports exchanged, decisions were made without hesitation. It was all ver structured, controlled, intentional. And beneath all of that—Predictable.That was its weakness.Nightbane relied on precision and coordination. On the assumption that every piece would fall exactly where it was meant to. Every patrol had a partner. Every route overlapped with another. No part of the territory was left unguarded, not even for a moment. It was how they survived. It was how they remained unbreakable. Which meant—To break it I did not need to destroy anything. I just needed to create a gap.My gaze settled on the dispatch tab
