last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2025-11-16 20:01:43

I dropped to the bed beside her, my chest heaving with exertion. Even after decades as Alpha King, the intensity of mating with my true match left me breathless. Amelia lay beside me, her copper hair spread across my pillows like flame, her skin flushed with satisfaction. Mine. The word echoed through my mind with Ares's growl of approval. After seventy-six years of life and three decades on the throne, fate had finally seen fit to give me what every Alpha craved – a mate worthy of standing b

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #97 - Amelia

    We found her in a clearing less than two miles from the palace, kneeling in the soft earth with the blood moon directly overhead. For one terrible moment, I thought she was dead; her body too still, her copper hair hanging in a tangled curtain around her face. Then Ares’s senses caught the faintest rise and fall of her chest, the barest whisper of her heartbeat, and my world narrowed to a single, desperate point.Amelia.My mate, my queen, naked and alone in the middle of a forest clearing, her skin painted in bruises and cuts that made something in my chest twist with protective rage. She knelt perfectly still, not even shivering despite the cool night air, her arms limp at her sides, her head bowed as if in submission.I shifted back, running before the transformation had fully completed, crossing the clearing in desperate strides that ate up the distance between us. Behind me, I heard Dominic bark orders to the guards, establishing a perimeter, calling

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #96 - Amelia

    I wasn’t sure how many days I’d been here. Time blurred together, marked only by the injections that set my blood on fire and Sera’s increasingly frequent visits to my cell. Days, certainly. Maybe weeks. The cave walls offered no clues, the single lantern that provided my only light never dimming or brightening to mark the passage of time. All I knew was pain, agony that started in my veins and spread through my muscles until even breathing felt like being flayed alive.They’d given up on the silver cuffs after the first day. I’d struggled so hard against the restraints that I’d nearly dislocated both shoulders, my body fighting even as my mind remained trapped behind the glass wall Sera had built. Now they just kept me heavily drugged, the injections coming more and more frequently as the days passed.Each one hurt worse than the last, the liquid burning through my veins like acid. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the h

    I paced the length of my office, claws tearing into the carpet with each step. Ares paced with me, his obsidian presence so close to the surface that black fur rippled across my hands, canines pushing against my bottom lip as I fought to maintain even partial control. Three days. Three days since Amelia had run, since I’d watched her disappear into the forest with tears streaming down her face. And now, the night of the second blood moon, we still had nothing.Not a trace of Amelia. Not a single lead on Sera or Sam. Nothing but empty rooms, hollow explanations, and the growing certainty that every second we wasted in the palace was another second Amelia spent in the hands of the Voice.I slammed my fist into the wall, plaster cracking beneath the blow. Pain lanced up my arm, a momentary distraction from the fear that had been eating me alive since I’d watched Amelia’s copper hair disappear between the trees.

    I woke to cold air biting my skin and a pain in my neck like I’d slept wrong for days. My eyelids felt weighted, my mouth dry and tasting of something metallic and wrong. I blinked, forcing my eyes open against the dim light that made my head throb, and the world slowly swam into focus around me.Stone walls, slick with moisture. A rough wooden desk directly in front of me. The prickling burn of wolfsbane against my wrists, which I realised with a jolt were bound to the arms of the chair I sat in. The silver cuffs gleamed in the low light of the single lantern on the desk, their surfaces etched with patterns that made my stomach turn, protection runes, the kind meant to contain a wolf’s power.I wasn’t alone.“Ah, she’s awake.” The voice came from behind the desk, feminine and tinged with a satisfaction that made my skin crawl.I looked up, and my breath caught in my throat. Across from me sat a woman I’d only see

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #93 - Amelia

    I ran through the city with tears streaming down my face, my bare feet slapping against cobblestones still cool with morning dew. The streets were mercifully empty; too early for merchants, too late for night owls, leaving me free to run without witnesses to the Queen’s breakdown. I’d left the palace with nothing but the thin robe clutched around my body, my hair wild around my face, my mind still echoing with the memory of Sera’s voice. Of my hands around Lukas’s throat. Of the moment I’d nearly killed the man I loved.“I nearly killed him,” I gasped to the empty street, the words tearing my throat raw. “I nearly killed Lukas.”Athena stirred beneath my skin, her copper presence a warm counterpoint to the ice in my veins. She pushed forward, offering strength, offering comfort, but even she couldn’t drown out the horror of what had happened. I’d been riding Lukas, my body joined with his in the most int

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #92 - Lukas

    I stood on the palace steps, bare feet cold against the stone, my chest heaving from the desperate run through the corridors. Dawn light crept across the grounds, painting the trees in pale gold, but there was no sign of Amelia, no flash of copper hair, no slight figure hurrying toward the forest.I’d lost her.The woman who meant everything to me had run because she’d nearly killed me, and now she was gone.Behind me, footsteps pounded against marble, then gravel. I turned to find Dominic and Nico racing toward me, both of them flushed and breathing hard. Nico carried a thick robe, which he thrust toward me with a bow that managed to convey both respect and concern.“My King,” he said, his voice pitched low. “What’s happened?”I pulled the robe on with quick movements, grateful for the warmth despite the urgency of the situation. I glanced at the guards positioned at the bottom of the steps, their eyes car

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #8: Amelia

    My muscles burned with familiar pain as I circled Nico in the gym, sweat trickling down my spine despite the cool air. Twenty-four hours. That's all that remained before I would face Lysander in the arena. Twenty-four hours to prepare my body, my mind, my wolf for a fight that would determine not j

    I watched, every muscle in my body coiled tight as a spring, as Nico suddenly moved toward Amelia. Three days of knowing she was training with my best fighters had done nothing to ease the knot in my gut. Ares paced within my mind, his golden presence radiating protective fury. 'Stop them,' he ur

    Athena snarled within my mind, her presence surging forward with protective fury. 'Kill threat,' she growled, golden warmth flooding my veins with aggression. 'Tear apart. Protect mate. Protect position.' I kept my face carefully neutral. The parchment felt impossibly heavy in my hand, its formal

  • Rejected By The Beta, Claimed By The Alpha King   Challenging the Alpha Queen #5: Amelia

    I hit the training mat hard enough to knock the air from my lungs, a familiar pain after three days of Nico throwing me around the royal gym. Sweat plastered my copper hair to my forehead and neck, my muscles screaming in protest as I forced myself to stand again. Athena growled her approval with
