The pain started late at night.

Alpha King Kaelion had woken drenched in sweat, his breaths ragged, every nerve in his body screaming like it was being scorched from within. He didn’t cry out. He didn’t yell. He simply gritted his teeth and waited until the worst passed, gripping the iron bedpost hard enough to splinter the metal.

But this time, it didn’t pass.

It only got worse.

By the time Darion burst into his chamber, Kaelion was on his knees, one arm braced against the cold floor, his body trembling with rage and helplessness.

“It’s worse today?” his Beta asked, though he already knew.

Kaelion didn’t speak. He could barely stand.

“Get the healer,” Kaelion managed to growl, jaw clenched.

“No,” Darion replied, already crouching beside him. “You’re coming with me. You collapse again, no one will be able to carry you.”

Kaelion didn’t argue.

The walk to the healer’s house was brutal. Every step sent pain ricocheting through his bones, a firestorm trapped beneath his skin. His wolf sna

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By His Alpha Uncle    Burning desire

    The air in Kaelion’s mansion had started to shift.Jenna felt it in the way her heart no longer pounded with dread when his footsteps echoed in the hall. She felt it in the way Maren smiled at her without pity now, how the servants bowed not because they had to, but because they wanted to. She even felt it in herself—how her shoulders relaxed, how she no longer slept with her fists clenched.She still didn’t trust him. Not fully. But something felt different now.And it terrified her.Late that morning, she wandered through the hallways, barefoot and half-lost in her thoughts, when she heard his voice.Kaelion.She followed the sound like a tether, down the corridor toward the study. She had intended to pass, to avoid him and preserve whatever quiet control she still had over her feelings. But the door was open, and when she peeked in…She froze.Kaelion was shirtless.Alpha Kaelion stood before the tall windows, the late morning light painting his chest in gold. He didn’t notice her

    The war room was cloaked in silence, lit only by the flickering fire in the stone hearth. Alpha Ryker stood at the center, eyes trained on a map pinned to the wall, inked with enemy territory and marked with blood-red. His blue eyes burned, but his hands were steady. Rage simmered beneath his skin, sharp and quiet.“She’s still there,” he said.Beta Chase leaned against the edge of the table, arms crossed, brow furrowed. “Yes. We’ve had no visual confirmation since she was taken. Kaelion hasn’t made a public move with her.”Ryker’s fingers twitched. “Because he’s hiding something. Or waiting for me to act.”Chase nodded once. “So we act first.”Ryker turned slowly. “We need someone inside his walls.”Chase sighed. “We’ve scouted our own. No one fits again. Anyone loyal to you would be executed the moment they set foot near Kaelion’s gates. You need someone who can lie with a straight face.”Ryker’s jaw clenched. “I’m surrounded by cowards.”Chase didn’t flinch. “So pick someone who h

    “You’re going to love this wing!” Maren chirped as she skipped ahead of Jenna, her curls bouncing and her apron dusted with flour from the kitchen. “It smells like warm sunlight. The best kind of forgotten.”Jenna trailed a few steps behind, arms folded, her steps cautious despite the cheer in her companion’s voice. Three days had passed since her last escape attempt. Three days since Kaelion had found her face down in the mud and carried her back with mud on his boots and patience in his voice.She hadn’t tried again.Not because she’d given up but because her body still ached from the fall and, more terrifyingly, her heart ached for something she didn’t yet have a name for.“You’re quiet today,” Maren said, glancing back over her shoulder.“I’m thinking,” Jenna replied, forcing a half-smile. “And following a very energetic tour guide.”Maren grinned. “Energy’s all I’ve got. Well, that and secrets.”They reached the end of the long hallway, where a heavy door stood partially open. It

    Jenna placed her hands on her hips, staring up at the towering wall before her. At that moment, she envied every creature gifted with the ability to fly. Her gaze drifted to the side, and she sprinted a few meters behind a wide house, seeking cover as she prepared her escape.The rain continued to pour down relentlessly, soaking her to the bone. It did nothing to help her situation, but she had no control over that. She rolled her shoulders, pushed up the sleeves of her soaked gray dress, and stood before the tall wooden fence with steely determination.It was probably twice her height. Still, with the right skill, she believed she could scale it.Then reality hit.She wasn’t skilled. She was the opposite—utterly lazy.Regardless, Jenna planted her hands against the slick, brown wood and dug her nails in, trying to pull herself up. A sharp sting shot through her finger as a splinter buried itself in her skin. She cursed under her breath and considered shifting to tear through the damn

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By His Alpha Uncle    No to the strings

    Two days.That’s how long it had been since he defended her.And still, Jenna felt like she was suffocating.Kaelion hadn’t touched her, hadn’t demanded anything, and hadn’t raised his voice once. He simply existed, watching with those quiet, stormy eyes, as if he was waiting for her to either break… or heal.He was polite, cautious. Respectful in a way that made her more unsettled than if he had demanded her obedience.And Maren…That girl was a storm wrapped in sunshine. A whirlwind of kindness and chatter. Jenna should’ve hated her. But Maren made it hard. The way she hummed while braiding Jenna’s hair, the way she dropped extra honey in her tea without asking. The way she looked at her like… she wasn’t broken.But that didn’t mean Jenna could stay.Kindness was a trick. She’d learned that lesson one too many times.It always came with strings.Sometimes she tried to trust that they were better peopleBut at night… the old ghosts returned.She couldn’t sleep without seeing her old
