Lila’s POV

I slammed my bedroom door harder than necessary.

The sound echoed through the room.

If he didn’t already know I harbored the intent to strangle him until ever prescious drop of life drains from his body then I'm sure the bang of door should have given him a fair idea.

I paced toward the bed, still fuming.

The nerve of him.

The absolute, unbelievable nerve.

Kael had spent years making it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with me. He had rejected me in front of everyone. He had

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 33 — Beneath the Moon

    Kael's POVI could not sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind drifted to her.Lila standing against that shelf.Her eyes full of anger.Her hand against my chest.The words she had left me with still lodged beneath my ribs."I'd rather feel the pain of a rejection bond ten times over than trust you."I had heard worse things in my life.I had been threatened by wolves twice my size, challenged by Alphas who wanted my territory, and watched men die because they had underestimated the consequences of crossing Nightbane.None of it had followed me into the dark the way her voice did.So I remained awake.Sitting beside the window of my chambers, staring into the night while the pack slept around me.The bond was quiet.Too quiet.For the first time since Lila woke up several weeks ago, there was no sharp pull beneath my chest. No restless awareness of where she was. No phantom sense of her breathing somewhere beyond the walls.Just silence.Then something shifted.I strai

He had rejected me in front of everyone. He had made me believe that whatever had existed between us had been nothing but a mistake.Now suddenly he couldn't stand being near me without looking like he was fighting some internal war.And somehow that had become my problem.I stopped beside the bed and folded my arms."You have no idea what you're doing to me."I could still hear his voice reverberating through my mind.A violent shudder raked through my body, my skin crawling from his stupid unnecessary confession.The sheer audacity of him t

  • 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 barel

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

    Kael's POV I 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 corrid

  • 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 5 — The Stranger Called Ardan

    Lila’s POV When I wake up, I’m not in the forest anymore. My nose fills with the scent of smoke, crushed herbs, and wet stone. A rough wool blanket lies over me, heavy and scratchy. There’s a faint hum in the air — like magic around me.Every inch of my body aches. My bones feel like they've overg

  • Rejected By The Alpha    Chapter 4 - The Castle That Dreamed of Wolves

    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
