Rejected as the Fat Mate Chapter 83_The Rival Prince
Tahlia's POV"The council has reached its decision."My father-in-law's voice carried across the throne room, heavy with exhaustion that had only deepened since the previous night's deliberation. I stood beside Ronan, both of us braced for an outcome neither of us had been permitted to influence directly."Neither Ronan nor Corin Northridge will inherit this throne," the King announced, and I felt Ronan go rigid beside me. "The prophecy's warning, combined with the ongoing political complications surrounding both potential heirs, made either choice untenable given the stability this kingdom currently requires.""Then who?" Ronan's voice carried barely controlled tension.The throne room's side entrance opened, and a young man strode through with confident, measured steps, his resemblance to the royal bloodline evident even before formal introduction—the same sharp jaw, the same commanding presence I'd come to associate with Silver Ridge's ruling family, though something colder lived b

Tahlia's POV"This is my fault."I stood in the corridor outside the throne room, the King's words still echoing through my mind, watching Ronan's face carry a devastation he was clearly working hard to hide from the council still gathered behind us."It's not your fault." Ronan's voice carried steady conviction despite everything. "It's my father's choice, made out of fear he's carried for decades, the same fear that's poisoned every decision connected to your existence since before either of us was born.""He stripped you of your inheritance because you refused to abandon me. If I hadn't insisted on staying, if I'd simply accepted defeat when the treaty required my willing participation—""Then Corin would have used you regardless, or Selene's manipulation would have continued unchecked, or some other crisis would have eventually forced this exact confrontation between prophecy and choice." Ronan took my hands firmly in his, forcing me to meet his eyes despite the guilt threatening
Rejected as the Fat Mate Chapter 81_I Won't Leave Her
Ronan's POV"Say it again. Watch my face while you say it, because I want you to understand exactly how little that warning changes."Selene studied me for a long moment, something between grief and reluctant respect crossing her composed features. "You truly intend to proceed. Even now, even understanding what the prophecy warns.""I intend to proceed because I refuse to let fear dictate a decision that belongs to me and Tahlia alone. Not to you, not to some vision recorded decades before either of us existed, not to a seer whose interpretation none of us can verify with any certainty." I held her gaze steadily. "You've spent two years manipulating a rebellion, orchestrating violence, betraying your own husband's throne, all based on your reading of a warning that might mean something entirely different than what you've decided it means.""And if I'm right? If proceeding with this marriage genuinely triggers the war the prophecy describes?""Then we face that war together, the same w

Ronan's POV"You knew we'd find this eventually. That's why you're not surprised."I held the document steady despite the fury coursing through my system, watching my stepmother dismount with the same unhurried grace she brought to every formal occasion, as though the wreckage surrounding her simply didn't warrant urgency."I'm not surprised because I've spent years anticipating exactly this moment, Ronan. Preparation is considerably more useful than surprise when the stakes are as significant as what we're actually discussing.""What we're discussing is treason. Conspiracy against your husband's throne, manipulation of a rebellion that's cost lives on every side of this conflict." I stepped closer, refusing to let her composed authority soften the accusation. "Explain yourself, or I'll have you returned to Silver Ridge in chains regardless of whatever formal position you currently hold.""You may do exactly that, once you've heard what I have to say." Selene's expression remained mad
Rejected as the Fat Mate Chapter 79_The Queen's Daughter
Tahlia's POV"Not the one I should fear. Then who?"Nadia's eyes darted briefly toward the compound's outer perimeter before returning to mine, her voice dropping lower still. "The intelligence I gathered wasn't just about Reyes, or about who funds this rebellion's weapons. Deep inside their communications, I found correspondence between Reyes's network and someone inside Silver Ridge's own palace. Someone with access high enough to move information and resources without ever raising suspicion.""Who?""The Alpha Queen."I stared at her, the words refusing to fully register. "Ronan's mother is dead. Has been since he was a child.""Not his birth mother." Nadia's expression carried genuine unease now. "His father remarried, years after his first wife's death, before any of the recent chaos began. Queen Selene. I assumed you knew."Ronan's face had gone pale beside me, something between disbelief and dawning horror moving across his features. "My father remarried quietly, years ago, a p

Tahlia's POV"Reyes." I stared at him, refusing to fully accept what stood in front of me despite the unmistakable proof. "You commanded warriors under Ronan's banner. You helped organize this kingdom's defenses. You stood in my war room, defended my judgment against Kastor himself.""All true," Reyes said, his voice carrying none of the easy camaraderie I remembered from those early days of proving myself to a skeptical council. "And all useful, precisely because it earned exactly the trust required to manipulate this conflict from the inside without anyone suspecting.""Why?" Ronan's voice cut sharp with fury. "What could possibly justify this level of betrayal?"Reyes's smile carried nothing but cold satisfaction. "You'll learn eventually. For now, understand only that I'm considerably less important than whoever I answer to, and that revealing anything further would accomplish nothing beyond satisfying your curiosity."Before I could press further, movement near the compound's ent
