Leon's POV

The council chamber was already full when I entered.

Representatives from Frostbite’s senior wolves stood along the long wooden table, maps and documents scattered across its surface. The atmosphere inside the room was tense, the kind of tension that comes when bad news travels faster than anyone can contain it.

I had seen that look before.

Wars often began this way.

Quietly.

One rumor at a time.

Anton stood near the map wall speaking with two scouts when he noticed me

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 176

    Hannah's POV The vision hit without warning. One moment, I was pouring coffee into my favorite mug. The next, the world disappeared. Pain tore through my chest. I saw Atreus on one knee. Blood covered his hands. His shirt. The ground beneath him. His breathing was ragged. Uneven. A stake in his chest. Another wound marked his shoulder. He looked up. Straight at me. As if somehow he knew I was there. His lips moved. I couldn't hear the words. Then everything faded to black. The mug shattered against the kitchen floor. I gasped. Air rushed back into my lungs all at once. My hands trembled violently. Coffee spread across the tiles at my feet. My heart hammered against my ribs. No. Not him. Anyone but him. I gripped the edge of the counter until my knuckles turned white. Visions had never terrified me this much before. Because this time, it was personal. The realization struck with brutal clarity. I cared about him. More

    Atreus POV Hospitals had always unsettled me. Not because of death. Death had walked beside me for longer than most civilizations had existed. I understood death. Accepted it. It was the fragile hope inside hospitals that made me uncomfortable. The desperate belief that people could always be saved. That loss could be postponed indefinitely. Sometimes it could. Most times, it couldn't. Tonight, at least, hope had won. Anton had survived. The doctors cleared him to leave shortly after sunrise. The wound had been severe by human standards, but wolves healed quickly. Thankfully the hospital was a hospital that treated both supernaturals and humans and was owned by a vampire. By the time Hannah finished signing discharge papers, some color had already returned to his face. He still looked annoyed. Which, judging by Hannah's relieved smile, was apparently a good sign. "I can walk on my own," Anton grumbled. Hannah ignored him. "That's nice." "I

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 174

    Hannah's POV Hospitals all smelled the same. Antiseptic. Blood. Exhaustion. No matter where you were in the world, those three things never changed. I sat in an uncomfortable chair outside Anton's room, staring at the paper cup cooling between my hands. The coffee inside had gone cold nearly an hour ago. I hadn't noticed. Or maybe I just hadn't cared. The events of the night kept replaying in my head. The attack. Anton collapsing. Atreus. Especially Atreus. I'd seen him fight before. I'd known he was dangerous. What happened tonight had been something else entirely. It wasn't just the violence. It was the fear. The look on his face when he saw Anton fall. The panic in his eyes when he checked to make sure I was unharmed. The way his hands had trembled ever so slightly while we waited for the ambulance. As if losing control frightened him more than the attack itself. I rubbed my tired eyes. A nurse walked past. Somewhere down the ha

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 173

    Hannah's POV Something felt wrong the moment I stepped out of the coffee shop. The evening crowd moved around us in familiar patterns. People laughed as they crossed the street. Music drifted from a nearby restaurant. Cars crawled through traffic beneath the fading glow of sunset. Everything looked normal. But my wolf stirred uneasily beneath my skin. Beside me, Anton slowed. He felt it too. Atreus emerged from the shop carrying the drinks we'd ordered. His expression remained calm, but I noticed the subtle shift in his posture. More alert. More focused. His gaze swept across the street once. Twice. Then settled somewhere behind me. His eyes hardened. "We need to leave." The ease from earlier disappeared instantly. Anton stepped closer to my side. "What is it?" Atreus handed me my drink without taking his eyes off whatever he'd seen. "We're being watched." A cold knot formed in my stomach. "How many?" "Too many." That was all the warning

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 172

    Hannah's POV By the time we left the Veil safe house, the weight of everything we'd found had settled over us like a storm cloud. None of us talked much during the drive back. The files we'd recovered sat in the trunk. Dozens of lives reduced to folders and photographs. Warnings from the past. Proof that what was happening to me wasn't new. I spent most of the morning staring out the window, watching the landscape change from dry desert roads to busy highways and eventually the familiar spread of Southern California. For once, even Anton seemed quiet. Atreus drove. Steady hands on the wheel. Eyes fixed on the road ahead. Every now and then, I'd catch him glancing at me in the rearview mirror. Not enough to make me uncomfortable. Just enough to remind me he was there. Watching. Making sure I was okay. The strange thing was that I didn't mind. Not anymore. A few hours outside Los Angeles, we hit traffic. Anton groaned dramatically. "We're moving

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 171

    Hannah's POV The safe house sat at the edge of a dying town. From the outside, it looked like every other forgotten building scattered across the desert—sun-bleached walls, cracked windows, and a rusted metal sign hanging crookedly above the entrance. A motel once. Or maybe an office building. Time had erased whatever purpose it used to serve. We parked half a mile away. Atreus insisted. "Whoever used this place valued secrecy," he said as we stepped out of the SUV. "People like that usually leave surprises behind." Anton glanced toward the building in the distance. "You mean alarms or explosives?" Atreus slid a pair of dark gloves over his hands. "Hopefully just alarms." Anton muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like, "That's not comforting at all." Despite myself, I smiled. The drive had changed something between the three of us. Anton still didn't trust Atreus. Atreus still enjoyed provoking him. But the hostility had

    Cora's POV I wake slowly. The first thing I notice is the light. Gentle, golden, spilling through the windows of the room. My body feels heavy, still aching from the fight, but the worst of the pain has dulled. My muscles tremble as I shift slightly, testing each limb. Then I notice her. Sitti

    Cora's POV I wake slowly. The forest is quiet, the kind of quiet that feels earned rather than empty. For a long moment, I stay still, afraid that if I move, everything will come crashing back at once. Pain is there—but muted. I sit up with a hiss, muscles trembling under the effort. My body f

    Cora's POV: Morning comes quietly in the forest. No bells. No voices. No pack calling me home. I wake curled against the base of a massive oak, leaves pressed into my cheek, the earth cold beneath my spine. For one terrifying second, I forget where I am—then the ache in my chest reminds me. Th

    Eric's POV Morning patrols are supposed to be routine. That’s what I tell myself as Anton and I move along the eastern border, the early sun filtering through the trees in pale gold streaks. But routine doesn’t mean safe—not anymore. Rogues have been getting bolder, pushing closer to pack land,
