The morning after the attack felt unusually heavy.

Ironclaw was awake, but the territory lacked its usual rhythm. Warriors moved through the training grounds, patrols rotated along the walls, and servants carried out their duties, yet an uneasiness lingered beneath every interaction.

News of the attack on the Guardian location had spread quickly, and no one could ignore the growing sense that the Crown was moving faster than before.

Lyra found Kael in the council chamber shortly after sunrise.

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 52

    For several long moments, nobody spoke.The hidden chamber felt smaller than before, the silence pressing down on everyone as Lyra stared at the journal lying open on the desk.Her mother’s handwriting, this was no mistake.She had spent years trying to hold on to memories that grew fainter with time, but some things were impossible to forget. The way certain letters curved. The way her mother connected words together. The slight tilt of every sentence.The writing inside the journal belonged to her. And somehow, that frightened Lyra more than the attack on the Guardian settlement.Because this wasn’t a rumor, it wasn’t an old legend. It was proof. Proof that her mother had been involved in something far bigger than she had ever imagined.“We need to read it,” Kael said.Asher immediately shook his head.“No.”The response came so quickly that everyone looked at him.Kael frowned.“No?”“We don’t know what we’re looking at,” Asher replied. “We don’t know why this chamber was hidden. W

    The morning after the attack felt unusually heavy.Ironclaw was awake, but the territory lacked its usual rhythm. Warriors moved through the training grounds, patrols rotated along the walls, and servants carried out their duties, yet an uneasiness lingered beneath every interaction. News of the attack on the Guardian location had spread quickly, and no one could ignore the growing sense that the Crown was moving faster than before.Lyra found Kael in the council chamber shortly after sunrise. Reports covered the large map table in front of him, but his attention was fixed on a single document. It was the authorization log recovered from the sealed-level system beneath Ironclaw.“You’ve been staring at that since dawn, haven’t you?” Lyra asked.Kael glanced up briefly. “Earlier than dawn.”She sighed. “That’s not exactly reassuring.”A faint smile touched his face before disappearing. Whatever answers they were chasing, neither of them liked where the trail was leading.The doors ope

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 50

    The atmosphere inside Ironclaw changed overnight.No announcement had been made. No official statement had been issued. Yet somehow, tension spread through the territory faster than wildfire.Maybe it was because the people closest to the mystery could no longer look at Lyra the same way.Or maybe it was because every new discovery seemed to point back to her.Lyra felt it the moment she stepped into the council hall the following morning.For weeks, she had helped investigate secrets hidden beneath Ironclaw. She had searched for answers alongside everyone else. Now she was beginning to realize those answers might lead directly to her. The thought sat heavily in her chest.She found Kael standing near the large map table. Several reports were spread before him, but judging by the untouched papers, his attention wasn’t on them.“You didn’t sleep.”His eyes lifted. “Neither did you.”For a moment, neither spoke. Then Lyra leaned against the table. “They think I’m hiding something.”Kael

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 49

    Sleep never came.Lyra spent most of the night staring at the ceiling, replaying the stranger’s final words over and over again.Don’t trust the Guardian.The warning should have been simple. Instead, it complicated everything.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the stranger reaching for her wrist. She saw the urgency in his expression. More importantly, she remembered where he had been looking before he lost consciousness.Someone standing behind her, someone inside Ironclaw, someone she knew. The thought refused to leave her alone. By sunrise, she was exhausted.The territory was already awake when she stepped outside. Warriors moved through the training grounds, servants carried supplies between buildings, and patrols rotated along the walls. From a distance, Ironclaw appeared unchanged.Yet beneath the routine, tension lingered. The attack on the stranger had shaken everyone. An enemy attacking inside the territory itself was dangerous enough. An enemy who seemed to know exac

    The stranger woke before sunrise.No one expected it.After being found unconscious near Ironclaw’s northern boundary, the healers had predicted he would remain asleep for at least another day. Whatever injuries he had suffered before reaching the territory had pushed his body beyond its limits.Yet somehow, he opened his eyes before dawn and within minutes, he was gone.The alarm spread through the Alpha House quickly.By the time Lyra arrived, Kael was already there, speaking to two guards stationed outside the infirmary.“You left him alone?” Kael asked.The guards exchanged uneasy glances.“Only for a few minutes.”“A few minutes was enough.”The frustration in his voice was obvious.Lyra stepped inside the infirmary and immediately noticed the empty bed. The blankets had been pushed aside, and one of the windows stood partially open despite the cold morning air.The stranger had escaped, which made no sense. The man had barely been alive when they found him. He shouldn’t have bee

    The word echoed through the underground chamber long after Asher spoke it.Guardians.No one rushed to fill the silence that followed. Even Ronan, who usually had a question ready before anyone finished speaking, seemed unable to find the right one.Lyra stared at the symbol beneath the broken crown. Moments ago, it had been nothing more than an unfamiliar mark. Now it carried centuries of hidden history.Kael broke the silence first.“Start talking.”His voice was calm, but Lyra knew him well enough to hear the warning beneath it.Asher didn’t seem offended. Instead, he looked tired. As though the symbol had forced him to remember something he had spent centuries trying to forget.“The Guardians weren’t warriors.”Ronan frowned. “The records suggest they protected the heir.”“They did.”“That sounds like warriors.” Asher shook his head. “No. Their purpose went far beyond protection.”He stepped closer to the wall carvings.“The Guardians preserved bloodlines, secrets, alliances, and

    The tension that had settled over the Council Hall after Selina’s arrival only deepened when the parchment slipped from her fingers.Nobody needed her to speak immediately. The direction of her gaze had already drawn everyone’s attention.One by one, heads turned toward the same person.“Ronan.”Fo

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret     Chapter 41

    The first accusation came before breakfast.“She’s the reason this happened.”The words sliced through the training yard with enough force to stop every conversation nearby.Lyra turned toward the speaker.A young warrior named Corin stood near the weapons rack, his jaw tight and his fists clenched

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 40

    Chapter 40: The Core Beneath IronclawThe alarm was no longer just a sound, itwas chaos.Across Ironclaw, horns blared in uneven bursts as warriors rushed through corridors half-dressed, weapons being grabbed mid-run, orders colliding in the air with no clear structure. Something had broken the rhy

  • Rejected Luna: The Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 39

    The attack came before sunrise.Not from the enemy, from inside Ironclaw.The first scream shattered the silence long before the alarm bells began ringing. It echoed across the sleeping compound, dragging warriors from their beds and sending guards rushing toward the eastern quarter.By the time Ka
