Chapter 26 — Displacement

last update publish date: 2026-05-31 20:00:50

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 re

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 31 — The Alpha's Lie

    Kael's POVI had spent the entire walk from the council chamber trying to decide how to tell Lila. The only conclusion that came was that there was no good way.If I told her gently, she would accuse me of making the decision without her. If I explained the council's reasoning, she would tell me that their expectations were not her problem. If I admitted that I'd declared her my chosen mate because it was the only explanation that kept the council from digging deeper, she would remind me that I had once again decided what happened to her without asking whether she wanted it.She would be right and that was what frustrated me most. I knew that she would hate it but I had done it anyway. Because there had been no other answer I could give them without putting her in danger.I turned into the general library using the bond her like I usually did.The vast room was quieter than usual, most of the shelves empty at this hour. A few wolves sat scattered across the tables, absorbed in their o

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 30 — Things Buried Beneath

    Lila's POV For two days, I kept my distance from the squad. Not obvious enough to prompt questions but deliberately enough that I always seemed to find something else to do whenever one of them came near. I wasn’t ready. I had spent so long keeping Selene separate from Lila that revealing the truth hadn’t brought relief. It hadn’t cleared anything up. If anything, it just made everything so much more complicated. Titi’s silence still echoed in my thoughts. The look on kierian’s face when I spoke. Vidya’s cautious eyes. Even Fisayo, who had seemed least surprised, looked at me differently afterward. I didn’t know what any of them were thinking—and for once, I didn’t want to. So I did what I always do when emotions become too heavy to carry : I sealed them in a box at the darkest corner of my mind and found something else to focus on. The purge. The restricted area of the archives. The answers I’d come to Nightbane for in the first place. I had barely scratched

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 29 — The Alpha's Decision

    Kael's POVI could see her from the upper corridor.Lila stood alone near the far edge of the training grounds. She had been there for several minutes, just staring aimlessly.After everything that had happened, I expected to be faced with her anger, questions, or maybe even another attempt to disappear into some corner of Nightbane where I couldn't find her.Instead, she stood with her arms crossed over her chest, watching the trees that lined the edge of the grounds.She looked tired.Drained.The bond tugged at my chest, demanding my attention. It had been doing that ever since she'd returned to Nightbane, but lately it had become harder to ignore. Every instinct in me demanded that I close the distance between us. Check on her. Make sure she was safe. Make sure she had eaten. Make sure she wasn't about to do something reckless.I had spent years learning how to silence instincts but this one just refused to be silenced.Finally giving in, I started down the corridor."Alpha."I st

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 28 — The Truth Shared

    Lila’s POVSleep didn't come easily that night but when it finally did, there were no silver forests, woman in white or blood staining temple floors, just darkness that didn’t carry any answers to dreams that have been plaguing my nights.I woke not feeling at all rested. Morning light slipped through the windows of Ardan's cabin in thin golden lines, warming the wooden floor beneath my feet as I sat near the window, staring blankly outside.The forest beyond was quiet.My fingers tightened around the cup of tea resting between my hands.Ardan’s words from yesterday when i finally told him about the dreams kept replaying in my mind.At first he hadn't said anything.He had simply stared into the fire for several long moments.Then he said quietly"Some magic remembers."I frowned slightly at the memory."What does that even mean?"Ardan had looked toward me then."Blood remembers."That answer had only irritated me."You're being vague on purpose.""I'm being careful."Silence.Then—

  • 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

    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

    Lila’s POV The woods shifted as I ventured farther inside.What started out as familiar terrains of pines and darkness soon turned ancient and wild. Cold crept in, the air thickened; almost like the trees held memories of days before packs, power struggles, or broken promises.I wandered on for ho

    Lila’s POVThree daysIt's been three long days since the ceremony and laughter lingered across the halls. Every whisper in the Silverfang estate, every hushed word cut deep like a dagger pressed into my throat. Every glance felt like a reminder of the girl who was rejected turned down cast away. K

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 2 - The Morning After

    Lila’s POVIt was quiet when I woke up. Just silence.Not the calm peaceful kind, but the heavy kind that weighs on your chest until having to breathe feels like sinning.Dawn light spilled through my curtains across the cool stone of the floor, soft and gold, almost taunting. Outside, the Silverfa
