Rejected as the Fat Mate Chapter 99_You Lied
Tahlia's POV"Stop. Just stop deflecting and tell me the truth."My voice cut through Ronan's explanation, sharp enough that he actually flinched, the study falling into tense silence around us. He'd spent the last ten minutes constructing an increasingly elaborate theory about someone else using his name in his father's correspondence, and I'd finally reached the limit of my patience for explanations that grew more convenient with every passing sentence."Tahlia, I'm telling you what I actually believe happened—""You're telling me a story that conveniently absolves you of everything, exactly like every other story someone in my life has offered whenever the truth proved too uncomfortable to admit directly." I held the correspondence up between us, my hand trembling with barely controlled fury. "Your father's own handwriting states you were informed. Not someone using your name. You, specifically, told about my significance three weeks before you stood in that courtyard and humiliate

Tahlia's POV"Say that again."The words came out barely above a whisper, disbelief warring with something colder building beneath my ribs. Alaric held my gaze despite his obvious exhaustion, clearly understanding exactly what he'd just detonated between us."Ronan knew about your bloodline's significance months before that festival, Tahlia. Before he ever stood in that courtyard and rejected you in front of everyone you'd ever known.""That's not possible. He told me the mate bond caught him completely off guard, that he didn't understand what he was feeling until that exact moment.""I believe the bond itself surprised him. I don't believe your bloodline's significance did." Alaric's voice carried quiet, unmistakable conviction despite his weakened state. "I found records during my own investigation, months ago, tracing correspondence between Ronan's father and certain archivists regarding a young woman in Briar Hollow carrying unusual bloodline markers. The inquiry predates the fes

Tahlia's POV"He's lost too much blood. I need you to step back, Lady Osadebe, so I can actually work."The healer's voice carried sharp urgency as she pushed past me toward Alaric's still form, and I forced myself to release the pressure I'd been maintaining against his wound, blood-slicked hands trembling as I finally allowed someone with actual medical training to take over."Is he going to survive?" My voice cracked on the question, exhaustion and terror combining into something I could barely hold steady."I don't know yet. The arrow struck close enough to significant vessels that the next few hours will determine everything." The healer worked quickly, her hands moving with practiced efficiency despite the grim assessment. "I need him stable enough to transport back to the capital's proper medical facilities. Field treatment can only accomplish so much."I knelt beside him, watching his chest rise and fall with increasingly shallow breaths, his face pale beneath the blood and di

Tahlia's POV"There. The ridge, exactly where the guard said he'd ridden."I pointed toward the smoke rising in the distance, urging my horse faster despite the exhaustion already burning through every muscle from our desperate ride. Behind me, our combined forces stretched across the terrain—Silver Ridge warriors, Ember Crest's eight hundred, and Corin's coalition fighters who'd arrived just in time to join our desperate race toward the ambush."I count Merek's forces surrounding the ridge from three sides," Kastor called out, studying the battlefield's layout with rapid military assessment. "If we charge directly, we simply add our numbers to the same confined space, losing whatever tactical advantage our arrival might otherwise provide.""Then we don't charge directly." I forced my mind past the terror clawing at my chest, focusing instead on the calculation that had carried us through every previous crisis. "Alaric, your forces circle wide to the eastern flank. Corin, take your fi

Ronan's POV"Enough games from a distance. If you want this ended, come face me directly."I shouted the challenge across the battlefield's chaos, watching Merek's expression shift with something that might have been genuine surprise at my defiance. To my shock, he stepped forward from the tree line, moving through his own warriors with the unhurried confidence of a man who feared nothing this battlefield could offer him."Hold your positions," he called to his forces, and the fighting around me paused with unnerving discipline, warriors on both sides stepping back to create space as Merek approached, his own blade drawn now for the first time since his arrival.Reeve moved to flank me, but I raised a hand, stopping him. "Let this happen. If he wants to finish this personally, I won't hide behind guards who've already sacrificed enough."Merek stopped several paces away, studying me with the same careful assessment he'd shown throughout every previous encounter. "You've inherited more

Ronan's POV"Something's wrong. This position should be empty."I reined my horse to a stop at the ridge's edge, scanning terrain that should have shown nothing beyond routine patrol activity, my instincts screaming warning before my eyes fully registered the reason why."My lord." One of my escort guards pointed toward the tree line below, where movement had begun emerging with disciplined, coordinated precision. "Multiple units, converging from three directions.""That's not possible. This inspection was supposed to remain confidential.""Apparently not confidential enough." Captain Reeve drew his blade, positioning himself protectively at my flank. "Orders, my lord?"I calculated our options rapidly, six guards against what appeared to be considerably larger numbers already moving to encircle our position. "We can't outrun them on this terrain. We hold the ridge, force them to come at us through the narrow approach rather than surrounding us on open ground."The first wave hit with
