The storm arrived before dawn.

Thunder rolled across the mountains surrounding the Alpha King’s territory, shaking the windows of the pack house as heavy rain began to fall.

Aira had barely slept.

The conversation with Kael the night before kept replaying in her mind.

A prophecy.

Two Alpha bloodlines.

And a father whose identity remained hidden in the shadows.

She sat on the edge of her bed, one hand resting on her stomach.

The child stirred gently, a soft movement that always filled her with a

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Forty: The House Tries to Keep Them

    The door slammed shut behind them with a sound like bone breaking.Aira felt it in her chest before she heard it. The whole house shuddered once, hard, and then went still in the awful way a body goes still when it knows it has been wounded. Kael tightened his hold on the newborn instantly, one arm wrapping around the child with fierce protectiveness while the other came up in front of Aira as if his body alone could keep the dark from reaching them. The blackness at the edge of his eye flickered, but this time it did not spread. Not with Aira pressing her hand flat against his chest through the bond, shoving warmth into him with every breath she had left. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. Do not look back.” His breath came ragged and broken. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once and then went still against her fingers. The baby in his arms made a small startled sound, not a cry, just the shock of being alive in a place that had suddenly turned hostile arou

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Nine: The Last Lock

    Come to me.The words came from the newborn in Kael’s arms, but Aira felt the lie in them at once. The baby was there. She could see the tiny fists, the wet lashes, the trembling mouth. She could feel its heartbeat against her palm when she reached for it. The voice was wrong because it was not the child speaking. It was the thing wearing her mother’s face below the floor, the root gate reaching through the first breath and trying to use the baby’s mouth to pull them back in. Aira’s throat tightened with rage and fear so sharp it nearly made her shake apart. Kael went rigid beside her, the blackness at the edge of his eye surging hard as the voice hit him through the blood. She did not let him fall. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every time he had held her when she was shaking, every fierce promise he had made that no one would ever take her from her. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Eight: The Hand That Was Not Hers

    Aira’s breath caught when the newborn’s tiny hand rose from the darkness beneath the floor.It was so small that for one wild heartbeat she almost told herself it could not be real. Then she saw the mark. The broken ring. The same mark that had burned on her wrist, Kael’s palm, her mother’s chest, the witness child’s hand. Her stomach turned cold and hard. Kael went rigid in her arms, the blackness at the edge of his eye flaring again as if the sight had struck straight through the oldest wound in his blood. Aira did not let him fall. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through fear, every promise he had made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the hand.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby in

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Seven: The Breath Inside the Breath

    The newborn answered with a second breath, and Aira felt the whole house recoil.Kael went rigid before her eyes, one arm still locked around the baby, the other raised in front of Aira as if his body alone could stop the dark from touching them. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard, then thinned, then surged again, and Aira knew the root gate was trying to ride the shock straight into him. She did not let it. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through terror, every promise he had made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the baby’s mouth. Look at me.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby in his arms gave a small, strangled sound, not a cry, not yet, just the shock of life trying t

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Six: The Breath That Broke the Gate

    The root gate reached for the baby with Aira’s mouth still stretched across its face, and for one horrible second Aira forgot how to breathe.Kael moved before fear could finish taking shape. He caught the newborn tighter against his chest with one arm and shoved the other in front of Aira, his whole body becoming a wall between them and the thing rising from the broken floor. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard again, but Aira would not let him fall. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through terror, every kiss, every promise made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not let it pull you under.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once and stilled. The baby in his arms gave a tiny sound, not a cry yet, just a breathy pu

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Five: The Child’s First Breath

    Aira’s body seized with the next contraction so hard that for one terrible heartbeat she forgot how to breathe. Kael caught her before she could fold, his arms locking around her with a strength that shook beneath the fear he was trying so hard to hide. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged again at the sight of her pain, but Aira would not let him slip. She pressed her forehead to his and shoved herself deeper into the bond, pouring warmth, memory, and fierce stubborn love through the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the thing below.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her moved hard enough to make her cry out, and the sound tore through the house like a warning. The root gate below lifted its face from her mother’s and smiled at the sound of her pain.Her mother’s eyes were wet, but they were steady wh

    Aira could not breathe.The woman standing at the mouth of the corridor looked exactly like her—not as she was now, but as if the chamber had reached into the future and pulled out her reflection from another age. Same eyes. Same bone structure. Same dark hair falling in soft waves over her shoulde

    Light swallowed everything.Kael’s vision fractured as the chamber blazed silver-white, then crimson at the edges, then something deeper still—something that did not belong to either of them. He heard Aira cry out once, heard the crack of power tearing through stone, heard Rowan swear, Marcus shout

    Kael didn’t breathe. The moment Aira vanished into the flare of light, something inside him tore open—silent but violent. The chamber shuddered as the bond stretched thin, pulled somewhere he couldn’t reach, somewhere he’d never felt before. Not distance. Not even another realm. Something deeper. O

    The chamber went still.Not silent—But waiting.Like it was listening for what came next.Kael didn’t take his eyes off the Alpha.“We’re not doing this your way,” he said.Low. Final.The Alpha tilted his head slightly, almost amused.“You think you have another option?”Kael didn’t answer.Becau
