The invitation arrived sealed in gold.

Aira knew it was dangerous the moment she saw it.

Royal parchment. Formal script. Courteous words that reeked of calculation.

“A private audience,” she read aloud, her voice calm. “Hosted by Lady Seris of the Inner Circle.”

Kael’s expression hardened. “She’s testing boundaries.”

Aira folded the parchment slowly. “Or pretending she respects them.”

Lady Seris was known for two things her public loyalty to the throne and her private talent for destroying peop

    The moment Aira stepped out of the pack house.The entire battlefield seemed to pause.Even the clash of steel and the growls of wolves faded for a heartbeat as every pair of eyes turned toward her.The hunter leader’s smile widened slowly.“There she is.”Kael’s massive wolf form snapped toward the pack house door instantly.Fury exploded through his chest.He shifted back into human form in seconds, his voice roaring across the courtyard.“Aira! Get back inside!”But Aira didn’t move.She stood at the top of the stone steps, her hand resting over her stomach.The baby inside her stirred again.Strong.Restless.Alive.Rowan glanced over his shoulder and groaned.“Oh come on.”Marcus cursed under his breath.“This just got worse.”The hunter leader took a few calm steps forward, ignoring the chaos still unfolding around him.“So the rumors were true.”His eyes fixed on Aira’s stomach.“The Blood Alpha grows within you.”Aira’s jaw tightened.“You won’t touch my child.”The man chuckl

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle in the Valley

    The first hunter hit the ground inside the valley with silent precision.Then another dropped beside him.And another.Within seconds, more than twenty members of the Crimson Moon Order had crossed through the broken cliff and landed inside Kael’s territory.The warriors guarding the eastern wall drew their weapons immediately.Steel flashed in the torchlight.Kael stepped forward, his presence alone making the air heavy with Alpha power.“You’ve made a mistake coming here,” he said coldly.The leader of the hunters removed his hood.His sharp eyes scanned the valley with unsettling calm.“No.”His voice carried quiet certainty.“We came exactly where we needed to.”Rowan groaned beside Kael.“Great. Another confident villain.”Marcus drew his sword.“Enough talking.”The first hunter moved suddenly.Fast.Far faster than a normal human should move.His blade flashed toward one of the pack warriors.The wolf barely had time to raise his weapon before the hunter struck.Clang!Steel co

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Seventy-Two: The Night of Shadows

    The valley did not sleep that night.Torches burned along the walls, casting long golden shadows across the stone and wooden defenses of the pack territory. Warriors stood at every watchtower, their eyes scanning the endless darkness of the forest.The Crimson Moon Order had made their intentions clear.They were coming for the child.And they were willing to wage war to get it.Kael remained on the northern wall long after the messenger had disappeared into the forest.His gaze stayed fixed on the black line of trees beyond the valley.Rowan leaned against the stone beside him, rolling his shoulders as if warming up for a fight.“Well,” Rowan muttered, “that was dramatic.”Marcus stood on the other side of Kael, arms folded.“They’re testing us.”Rowan snorted.“Testing us?”He gestured toward the forest.“They basically told us they’re going to steal the baby.”Marcus’s eyes stayed serious.“That’s exactly the point.”Rowan frowned.“What point?”Marcus answered quietly.“They want

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Seventy-One: The Wolves Who Do Not Fear Alphas

    Night fell slowly over the valley.Torches burned along the pack walls, their flames dancing in the cold wind. Warriors moved along the defenses with heightened alertness, every sense stretched to its limit.No one laughed.No one relaxed.The Crimson Moon Order had crossed into their territory.And that meant the valley was no longer safe.Kael stood on the northern wall, his eyes scanning the dark forest beyond the gates.Beside him, Rowan leaned against the stone barrier, sharpening a long silver blade with slow, deliberate strokes.The scraping sound cut through the silence.“You know,” Rowan muttered, “most enemies get nervous when they realize they’re about to fight an Alpha.”Kael didn’t respond.Rowan glanced toward the trees again.“These people?”He shrugged.“They seem very confident.”Marcus climbed the steps onto the wall behind them.“Because they’re trained for this.”Rowan rolled his eyes.“Everyone says that right before they get their teeth knocked out.”Marcus ignor

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Seventy: The Hunt Begins

    The warning howl echoed across the valley like a crack of thunder.Every wolf in the courtyard froze.Kael’s instincts sharpened instantly. The sound had carried urgency fear mixed with pain.Not the howl of a warrior who had found an enemy.The howl of one who had already been attacked.Rowan cursed under his breath.“That’s not good.”Marcus turned sharply toward the northern gate.“That patrol had six wolves.”Kael’s jaw tightened.“And now only one is still howling.”Aira felt the baby twist sharply inside her.The movement was stronger than before, almost restless.Her fingers gripped the edge of the table beside her.“They’re getting closer.”Mira placed a steadying hand on her arm.“Sit down.”But Aira shook her head.“No.”Her breathing steadied as she focused on the strange sensation inside her.“It feels like… they’re searching.”Theron stepped beside her.“That’s exactly what they’re doing.”Kael turned toward him.“You said they could sense the Blood Alpha’s power.”Theron

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Sixty-Nine: The First Hunters

    The wind over the valley shifted.A cold current rolled down from the northern forest, carrying with it a scent that immediately made several wolves stiffen.Kael felt it first.His head lifted slightly as his instincts sharpened.Danger.Not the open, aggressive danger of an invading pack.Something quieter.Something that moved like a knife in the dark.Rowan noticed Kael’s expression change.“You smell it too?”Kael nodded slowly.“Yes.”Marcus stepped closer.“What is it?”Kael’s voice lowered.“Strangers.”Theron stood very still in the center of the courtyard.His sharp eyes were fixed on the distant forest beyond the valley walls.For several seconds he said nothing.Then he exhaled slowly.“They’re already here.”Rowan frowned.“Already here?”Theron nodded once.“Scouts.”Marcus’ jaw tightened.“For the Crimson Moon Order?”Theron didn’t hesitate.“Yes.”Aira felt the baby move again.Not gently this time.The child shifted sharply, almost like it sensed a threat approaching.
