The letter trembled in Rowan’s hand.

Not from age.

From fury.

He crushed the parchment into a tighter ball, then forced his fingers to relax, smoothing it flat again so he could see the words that had just upended the last illusion he’d been clinging to.

…Trial at the Temple complete.

The Moon‑touched chose the Bastard Alpha.

Old bonds severed. New ones sealed.

Priestess seal: witnessed.

The script was neat, unassuming.

It might as well have been written in blood.

Rowan’s jaw clench

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 120 – My Little Wolf[The End]

    The mountains slept.From the balcony of Blackthorn Keep, the peaks rolled away in dark, familiar lines, their shoulders dusted with starlight. Pine‑shadow pooled in the valleys. The air was thin and clean, carrying the faint scents of smoke from distant hearths and the cold bite of rock.Aria leaned her forearms on the stone balustrade. The stone was cool under her palms, grounding her in a world that felt—for once—finally safe. Below, a few scattered lanterns winked in the village. Behind her, the quiet murmur of the keep at night—guards changing shifts, a muffled laugh from the kitchens—was a low reassurance rather than a warning.Inside their chamber, Liora slept in her little bed, breathing soft and steady. For once, there was no wail, no demand. Just…peace.Kael stepped out beside Aria, the door closing softly behind him. He was barefoot, a shirt hanging open at the throat. The Moon painted his scars in pale silver.“Still awake?” he asked, coming to stand shoulder to shoulder w

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 119 – Legacy of the Little Omega

    The story had grown teeth and glitter in other mouths.Aria realized that as she paused at the edge of the lower courtyard one cool autumn evening, a stack of reports still tucked under her arm. The night was crisp, and smoke from scattered cooking fires curling up into a star‑strewn sky.Near one of the smaller fire pits, a knot of young wolves sprawled on logs and blankets—gangly limbs, bright eyes, voices tripping over each other. A few were Blackthorn; others wore tokens from allied packs. One or two carried the rough spiral mark Lyra’s rogues had adopted.Aria might have walked past.Then she heard her own name.“—and then the Moon‑Luna tore the king’s mind out of his skull with this much power—” A boy of maybe twelve held his hands far apart, eyes shining, clearly enjoying his role as storyteller. “—and the Bastard Alpha ripped his heart out, and they both howled at the Moon, and everyone knew the world had changed forever.”“That’s not how Nyra tells it,” a girl objected, huggi

    Nyra made a production out of examining her.“You’re impatient,” the healer said, prodding a fingertip into Aria’s abdomen. “Impatience is not a wound I can stitch.”“I’m healed,” Aria countered, perched on the edge of the examination couch in Nyra’s small workroom. “You said so yourself last week.”“I said your tears had knit, and your bleeding had stopped,” Nyra replied. “Not ‘go hurl yourself around the forest on four legs like a pup who’s just discovered snow.’”Aria folded her arms. “I haven’t shifted since before Liora was born.”“Yes,” Nyra said. “Everyone’s noticed. You get twitchy when your wolf doesn’t stretch.”Twitchy was one word for it. Half‑caged was another.“I miss it,” Aria admitted. “Not the running away. Just…running.”Nyra sighed, long‑suffering. “Stand,” she ordered.Aria obeyed. Nyra circled her like she was assessing a horse—checking scars, pressing along muscles and joints, making her bend and straighten, reach, and twist.Finally, Nyra stepped back, eyes narr

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 117 – Talia’s Wedding

    Talia glared at the dress like it had personally insulted her.“I am not wearing that,” she announced, pacing a tight circle in Aria’s chamber. “I have fought in mud up to my neck. I have gutted men twice my size. I will not be defeated by stitched fabric.”The offending garment—deep forest green, simple but undeniably feminine—hung from a hook on the wardrobe, swaying gently as if mocking her.Nyra sat in a chair by the window, unruffled, rolling a sprig of something between her fingers. “You can still stab someone in a dress,” she said. “I’ve seen it done.”“It’s less efficient,” Talia snapped.Aria, who had Liora in a cradle near the bed, bit back a smile. “You promised,” she reminded Talia. “You said if we kept it simple—no corsets, no trailing train—you’d wear it.”“I was drunk,” Talia said. “And emotionally compromised.”“Exactly the right state to agree to marriage,” Nyra remarked.Talia whirled on her. “I should never have told you people I was happy.”Nyra’s eyes softened des

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 116 – A World for the Little Wolf

    It started, as so many things did now, at the council table.“Education,” Mirella said, tapping the parchment in front of her. “Again.”The hall was full. Alphas, omegas, healers, human merchants, rogue envoys—they all leaned in, some wary, some interested, some already impatient.Aria sat beside Kael, Liora on her lap, a carved wooden wolf clutched in the baby’s fist. Liora gnawed determinedly on its ear, oblivious to the history being argued around her.“We can’t build a different world on the same ignorance,” Aria said. “If only Alphas and nobles can read the law, then only they will shape it.”A murmur of agreement from the omega benches. A few disapproving sounds from older Alphas.Darion, a thick‑necked alpha from the south, frowned. “You’d have pups buried in scrolls instead of running the forests,” he said. “And omegas with their noses in law books instead of tending dens.”“Yes,” Aria said. “I would.”He blinked at the bluntness. “You can’t mean to teach them all the same,” h

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 115 – Ghosts Laid to Rest

    The Moon Temple’s garden was smaller than Aria remembered.Or perhaps she was larger now—carrying more history in her bones, more lives in the circle of her arms.She walked the narrow gravel path between low hedges and pale stone markers, the hush of the place wrapping around her like a familiar cloak. The city’s noise was a distant murmur beyond the walls. Here, there was only the breeze, the rustle of leaves, and the occasional chime of the temple bells.Names lined the garden.Simple markers are all the same size. No grand statues for kings, no gilding for generals. Just carved letters and dates, each stone a story cut short.*Rowan.* *Fallen wolves from Blackthorn, Stormfall, Hollow Pines.* *Humans who’d stood their ground when they could have run.*Aria trailed her fingers along a few of them as she passed. She recognized some; others were just lines in reports she’d read, families she’d met briefly, stories that had brushed hers without fully touching.Near the back of the

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 29 – The Rogue Trap[Part 2]

    The scent of wolfsbane hit me through one guard’s nose—a rogue with a band of dark paste smeared along its gums. Someone had treated them before sending them. The poison burned their nerves, amped their pain into frenzy.I focused on that one. On the way, its mind frothing at the edges still had a

    Morning came too fast.By the time gray light seeped through the shutters, my eyes felt gritty, my head thick. I’d managed snatches of sleep in between spikes of Lucian’s voice echoing in my skull and replayed fragments of Lyra’s mind‑link.Kael had slipped out at some point before dawn—quiet as a

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 27 – Whispers in the Dark

    Sleep didn’t come easy after the circle.Even hours later, something in me still thrummed—restless and overcharged, like my nerves hadn’t realized training was over.Kael’s quarters were dark, the banked coals in the hearth only a faint glow. His scent—smoke, pine, iron—filled the room, woven into

  • Rejected Omega, claimed by the Ruthless Alpha   CHAPTER 26 – Training the Moonblood[Part 2]

    A thread of myself uncoiled along the bond and flowed into him. Not too much at first. A trickle. A pulse of warmth.Kael inhaled sharply.His hands tightened around mine. Beneath my fingers, his pulse jumped. His wolf pressed closer, teeth bared not in threat but in raw, wild exultation.“Don’t fi
