VENUS

The edge of his lips raises in a slow, cruel smile. “I want to claim you.”

My stomach twists. What?

Olivia gasps beside me, her voice breaking into a shout. “What did you just say?”

Kyle ignores her. His hand rises, his thumb brushing over my lips. I flinch at the disgusting touch, bile rising in my throat.

“Once I mark you,” he murmurs, eyes glinting with twisted satisfaction, “my enemy will be ruined. Because his mate will belong to me.”

My blood turns cold. What the fuck is he talking about? Why does he want to ruin Bronze so badly?

I try to remember the packs that could be Bronze’s potential enemies but can’t think of one that would go this far.

I glare up at him, forcing the tremor out of my voice. “That’s never going to happen.”

He only chuckles, like my resistance amuses him. “You don’t have a choice. It’s either this or I cut off your fingers to send it to him.”

“Actually, you should be grateful that I’m thinking of being lenient with you. Since I have taken a liking

    VENUSI gasp, my head snapping toward him. “What?” “Bronze is my sister’s child,” he continues. “I’m his uncle.”For a moment, my mind goes blank. His uncle?I stare at him, trying to process what I just heard. Their bond isn’t just of an Alpha and his king. They are blood-related! Suddenly, everything makes sense. That’s why they seemed close when they spoke to each other. I knew in my gut that something was strange. I remember Bronze not being very fond of his mother who’s dead. She’d passed away long ago. I look at Rowan, “I’m… sorry for your loss,” I say, keeping my voice low. “You must miss your sister.”Rowan doesn’t say anything about that. Then a thought strikes me, “Wait,” I say, frowning. “After Bronze’s father died, why didn’t you take him in?”Rowan lets out a slow breath. “I sort of did,” he replies. “But Bronze hated me and the elders were against it. They said they’d take responsibility for him.”“I didn’t want to force him,” Rowan continues. “He was young and I ha

  • Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim   103

    VENUSRowan stares at me in shock and his brows draw together. “What?”I scoff and look away. “I don’t need your charity or your protection.”Rowan narrows his eyes at me. “Really? I saw how well you were faring when I didn’t step in.”I clench my fist. “I can protect myself,” I bite out, my voice trembling despite my best efforts. “I would’ve found a way.”He lets out a humorless smirk. “I don’t go with probabilities, Venus. You’re stupid if you think you could’ve escaped that.” His tone drips with disdain.He reaches out and grabs my wrist. He lifts it, and shows me the deep red mark formed on my skin. I stare at it in shock. I hadn’t realized how bad it looked. I’d been too focused on not breaking down and suppressing the pain I felt after those guards tried to assault me. “Even if they let you live, do you have any idea what those scoundrels would’ve done to you? They would’ve raped you.” My throat tightens as I swallow back the lump at his unfiltered, harsh words. Tears fill m

    VENUSI follow his gaze. On the screen, I see the west wall corridor. A guard is patrolling there again and again. My eyes narrow as I stare at it for a few minutes. “Wait,” I gasp. “That’s the same movement.”Rowan’s fingers fly over the console keys and he types something. I watch him work alongside the operator who also looks lost like me. The screen flickers as he pulls up the archived feed. It shows the same thing. “It’s a loop. The timestamp is stuck at 11:30pm.” Rowan says as he looks at the screen. The operator’s eyes widen. “How is that possible?” “We need the real-time footage,” Rowan mutters and looks past his shoulder. “Nile.” His general steps in and the operator backs away, getting intimidated by the large sizes of the two men. Nile sits on the chair and does something on it for quite a long time. “Done!” Nile says, “Someone overlaid the main channel. But the backup server’s still live.” He plays the real-time feed and my stomach twists as I see the hallway on the

    VENUSThe main guard fumbles with his keycard, hands shaking so much that it takes him three tries to swipe it. The door finally clicks open. Before stepping in, Rowan looks back at the two guards who had been restraining me.“From tomorrow onwards,” he orders coldly, “you don’t have to come here anymore. You’re fired.”Their faces drain of color. “Please, Your Majesty—” one starts, but Rowan doesn’t even glance at them. He just walks inside, pulling me along.We walk into the room and Rowan keeps glancing at me, making my heart skip a beat. The cold air inside makes me shiver and it smells of oil and some pungent gas. I can hear the buzz from the humming machinery. Rows of generators, transformer panels and tangled cables line the walls. Everything looks normal. He turns to me suddenly. Before I can step back, his hand reaches out, fingers brushing against my cheek. His eyes harden as he stares at my face. His touch is brief but electrifying, tracing the dirt smudges on my skin.

    VENUSTwo large figures step through the back gate. The glow of the security lights reveals Nile’s face. My heart falls deeper into my stomach as I realize the other man to be none other than the Alpha King. Rowan strides forward, his presence slicing through the night like a blade. “Stop whatever you’re doing.” His eyes find me instantly, and I see the darkness flood them. The guards immediately lower their heads, trembling under his aura. The power rolling off him is suffocating. It’s pure dominance pressing against the air.“Your Majesty,” the main guard stammers, bowing so low his forehead nearly touches the ground. “It—it’s an honor to see you—”Rowan raises a hand, cutting him off without a word. His gaze never leaves me.“Release her,” he commands. His tone is calm but every syllable drips with a sense of anger that’s restrained. The guards tremble and let go of me once. I rip the gag out of my mouth and throw it on the ground, gasping for air as my chest heaves.Nile is t

  • Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim   99

    VENUSMy jaw tightens. They let her through easily because she’s Bronze’s mate, and their Luna. I press my palms against the damp earth, thinking fast. I need to get inside to see what Mallory is doing or else all of this will be for nothing.The guards start to change shifts. It’s my only chance.I dart deeper into the shadows, and hide behind the trees, keeping low until I notice a loose section of fencing near the eastern side. My pulse quickens. That could work.I pick up a small stone and toss it toward the opposite end of the fence. It clinks against metal. The sound makes two patrolling guards snap their heads toward it and move to investigate.Now is the time! I squeeze through the loose panel, careful not to make a sound. The metal scrapes lightly against my hoodie, but I manage to slip inside. I dash toward a cluster of crates stacked near a generator building, crouching behind them. The smell of oil and iron makes me scrunch my nose. I rub the dirt and mud on my hands an
