The horn did not sound again.

It didn’t need to.

The first blast had already done its work sending a warning through stone and bone, waking the mountain from its uneasy calm. Aira felt it in her chest long after the echo faded, like a bruise pressed from the inside.

She stood alone in the chamber, hands braced against the cold edge of the table, breathing through the tight knot in her stomach.

Blood has answered blood.

The seer’s words would not leave her.

The door burst open.

Kael strode back

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Three: Choose the Body

    Choose the body.The voice beneath the house rolled through the broken floor like a command from the grave, and Aira felt Kael jerk so violently in her arms that her own bones seemed to ring. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard, then froze, as if the thing inside his blood had struck a wall it had never expected. Aira did not let go of him. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every moment he had held her through terror, every promise he had made with blood in his mouth and love in his eyes. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not listen to the voice below.” His breath came out ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one fragile heartbeat she felt him hear her. Not safe. Not whole. But eno

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Two: The Name Beneath the Smile

    The moment her mother spoke the root gate’s true name, Kael lurched in Aira’s arms as if the sound had struck straight through his bones. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard and then froze, trapped by something older than pain. Aira did not let him slip. She locked both hands over his chest and poured herself into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment when he had held her through terror, every promise he had made with blood in his mouth and love in his eyes. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but unbroken, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not listen to the voice below.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one precious heartbeat she felt him hear her. Not safe. Not whole. But enough.Below them, the father beneath the floor went white. He stared at Aira’s

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty One: The Name the Root Kept

    The root gate spoke the child’s name like a prayer it had been starving to remember.Aira froze as the sound rolled through the broken floor and into her bones. The hand on her stomach was warm and marked, her mother’s hand, but the voice coming from the dark below was neither her mother’s nor the father’s nor the house’s anymore. It was older than all of them, and the moment it said the child’s name, Kael shuddered so violently in her arms that the blackness at the edge of his eye surged like ink poured into water. Aira did not let him go. She locked both hands over his chest and pushed herself into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had chosen her over the dark, every promise he had made with blood in his mouth and love in his eyes. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not listen to the thing under the house.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched on

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Last Touch

    The hand rising from the darkness beneath the floor reached for Aira’s womb with such slow certainty that it made her skin crawl. Kael jerked in her arms, the blackness at the edge of his eye flaring hard enough to make her stomach clench, and for one terrible heartbeat she thought the root gate had finally found the seam it needed to tear him open again. Aira did not let it. She slammed both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond, pouring every warm memory she had left into the space between them. His hands on her skin. His voice when he said her name like it mattered. The fierce way he had guarded her even when the whole house turned against them. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the dark below.” His breath came out ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse, and the bond flared hot enough to burn the corruption

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Nineteen: The Second Heart

    Aira stared at the second heart beating inside her mother and felt the world narrow down to a single unbearable point. Kael shuddered in her arms as the blackness at the edge of his eye surged again, feeding on the shock, on the sight of her mother smiling with a calm that did not belong to any living woman Aira had ever known. She did not let him slip. She locked both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond, pouring warmth, memory, and fierce stubborn love into the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, her forehead pressed to his, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not follow the voice below.” His breath came out rough and broken. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one fragile heartbeat she felt the man beneath the corruption answer her. Not whole. Not safe. But enough.Below them, the father bene

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Eighteen: The Last Door

    Aira held Kael as the floor split wider beneath them, and for one terrible heartbeat she felt him slip again. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard enough to make her stomach clench, and the tiny hand in his palm twitched as if the darkness below had found a fresh seam to crawl through. She did not let fear take him. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every promise, every kiss, every moment he had held her when she thought she might break. “Kael,” she whispered, shaking but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not listen to what is under the house.” His breath came out ragged and raw. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse, and the bond flared hot enough to burn the corruption back another breath. Not gone. Not safe. But held. That was enough. It had to be enough.Below them, the father beneath the floor lifted his head with a face carved open by grief. He loo

    The baby smiled.Aira felt it before she fully understood it, a strange, impossible sensation inside her womb—a tiny shift, a warm curl of presence that should have been innocence and was somehow not. Her breath caught so sharply it hurt.Kael felt the change in her body at once. His head snapped d

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Nine: Take the Mother

    “Take the mother.”The words came from everywhere at once.From the child in the floor.From the child in the ceiling.From the black thread binding Aira’s wrist to both of them.Her whole body locked.Kael’s roar tore through the corridor a second later, pure fury and fear. Crimson power exploded

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Seven: The Ring Burns Open

    The black ring in Aira’s palm split with a burst of white-hot light.She cried out and nearly dropped it, but the thing did not fall. It hovered above her skin, trembling violently, the dark metal cracking open along its center like an egg shell under pressure. A pulse slammed through the corridor,

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four: Beneath Their Feet

    The house split open with a sound like the world tearing its own skin.Aira stumbled back as the seam in the floor widened fast, black earth and cold air surging upward in a violent rush. The crying came again—faint, broken, impossible—and every muscle in her body locked.Kael caught her before she
