Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 27 — The Weight of Truth
Lila’s POV The room smelled like him, cedarwood and smoke. The scent clung to the air no matter how far I stood from him threading through my lungs making it hard to breathe.Kael still stood near the window, where I met him when I entered. His broad shoulders tense and dark eyes fixed on me with visible restraint that somehowfelt heavier than if he was angry.Neither of us said anything for a while.The bond pulsed sharply between us restless and annoyinging aware of how close we were after being apart the past week.The longer we stood there the worse it got pressing on my chest reacting to every breath every emotion every thing shared between us.I hated it. I hated how how aware i still was of him even after everything that happened."You moved my things." I said finally.Kael's expression remained the same. "It's not safe for you there.""That is not your decision to make."His jaw tightened. "Actually it is."I stared at him refusing to believe the wordsjust came out of his mo
Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 26 — Displacement
Lila’s POV Silver light spilled across the forest. The trees stretched impossibly high around me, their pale trunks glowing beneath a sky drowned in stars. White flowers bloomed across the forest floor in endless clusters, opening and closing like breathing lungs beneath my feet.This gnawing feeling of familiarity kept brushing through my awareness. It was like I knew this place. And that terrified me because in the real sense I'd never been there. But somewhere deeper inside me, something recognized it.The air smelled like rain and ancient magic.Ahead, wolves knelt in silence beneath towering stone ruins wrapped in silver vines. Men. Women. Children. All bowing their heads toward the figure standing at the center of the temple steps.A woman dressed entirely in white, her face out of sight. Only silver hair moving softly in the wind and a crescent-shaped mark glowing faintly against her throat.The moment she lifted her hand—Pain exploded through the dream. Blood flooded the tem
Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 25 — The Infirmary (Dual POV)
Lila’s POVThe medicine Titi forced down my throat tasted terrible. It was so bitter that the aftertaste lingered long after I swallowed it, warming slowly through my chest while the pain in my ribs dulled into something more manageable.“Stop glaring at me like I poisoned you,” Titi muttered while rearranging the bandages beside my cot.“I’m beginning to think you did.” I replied trying not to gag.“You’re dramatic.”“I almost died.”“You almost exploded,” she corrected dryly. “Different issue entirely.”I sighed softly, letting my head fall back against the pillow.The infirmary was quiet this early. Sunlight filtered faintly through the tall windows, illuminating shelves lined with herbs, salves, and dried roots hanging from cords overhead. The scent of crushed silverroot and medicinal smoke lingered heavily in the air.Titi adjusted the blanket covering my legs before finally looking at me again.“How’s the pain?”“Manageable.”“That usually means terrible.”I didn’t deny it.Her
Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 24 — The fractures
Lila’s POV Leaving Kael’s chambers felt harder than it should have. Not emotionally, physically. My entire body hurt, weakness weighed down my limbs in ways I hated to admit.The bond only made it worse reacting to the distance with a faint ache in my chest. I could feel it beneath my ribs—an irritating, steady awareness of him somewhere deeper inside the territory—but after everything he told me the night before, neither of us had tried reaching through it again.I preferred it that way.Even if the absence still hurt.The infirmary was the only place I could think of clearly enough to reach.Pain relief. I needed something to dull the ache in my body. Something to quiet what remained of last night inside me.I tightened my grip around the shawl draped over my shoulders as I walked slowly through the corridor, ignoring the lingering weakness in my legs.Seven days unconscious had left my body feeling unfamiliar, like my bones no longer fit together properly. Every few steps, exhaust
Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 23 — The Truth
Kael’s POV“My father has been hunting Moonblooded for years.”The words left my mouth before I could decide how to soften them, or whether they deserved softness at all.Lila went completely still, but not the kind that meant she was listening. The kind that meant she was bracing herself for impact. Her fingers slowly curled at her sides, like she was holding herself together by force alone.“I know,” she said flatly.That wasn’t what I expected, because she didn’t know. Not everything especially not what mattered.I took a slow breath in, forcing my voice to stay steady even though my chest felt too tight.“No,” I said. “You don’t.”Her eyes sharpened instantly.That reaction — the immediate rejection of anything I said — hurt more than it should have.Good. I deserved that.I stayed where I was, not moving closer. Not forcing space. Just… staying.“I know enough,” she said.I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay steady even though something inside my chest was tightening.“No,” I
Rejected By The Alpha Chapter 22 — Aftermath (Dual POV)
Kael’s POVThe bond was gone again.That was the first thing I noticed after she collapsed in my arms.One second it had been there—violent, overwhelming, impossible to ignore. The next, nothing.Not weakened.Not distant.Gone.The absence of it hollowed something out inside me so suddenly it felt wrong to even breathe through it.For two years, I had lived with silence.Two years convincing myself the numb emptiness where the mate bond used to be was grief instead of instinct screaming that something had been ripped away from me.Then I felt her again.For one impossible moment beneath that ruined courtyard, the bond returned so violently it nearly brought me to my knees.Lila.Alive.And less than a minute later—nothing.Again.The memory replayed in my head endlessly over the following days.Lila collapsing against me.Silver light erupting through the courtyard.Her body shaking from unstable Moonblood magic.The desperation in her voice when she handed me the glamour vial.Plea
