Aurelia’s POV

My eyes fluttered open to the sound of voices surrounding me and I found Rune staring down at me with a stern look. His brows were narrowed and his icy blue eyes were so cold that he made my skin crawl. But just then, he flashed me a smile that evaded every bit of anxiety I’d felt.

“She’s awake,” he announced to the people in the room.

The next face I saw was Asher’s. He had a warm smile as he touched my cheeks, his green eyes reminding me of what life had to offer.

“Mommy. Thank the stars. I grew worried,” he said softly with the smile still on his face.

My heart lurched at the thought of leaving Asher alone even for a second. It made me sad.

“I’m sorry. I just woke this morning with a headache and I didn’t know it would become that severe,” I said, trying my best to sit up but my whole body ached as I tried.

I looked up at Rune who was silent. He had his arms folded and his shirt was different from when I last saw him. He was wearing a black shirt with his biceps

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   147. “ You Beta Chase Her.”

    Rune’s POV“Tamara!” I yelled at the top of my voice as I ran towards her. I could see her through the darkness as she tried to escape me. But there was no way that I was going to let her out of my sight. Not until she's paid for what she has done.“I see you, Tamara,” I called, “I'm not letting you get away!”Tamara chuckled before turning towards me.“Catch me if you can,” she said before moving faster. I clenched my jaw as I realized that I was losing her to the darkness. I had to do something about it. If she got away, then we would be back to square one.I felt the ice in my veins as they rushed towards my fingertips. This would be enough to slow her down. I froze the floor from where I was towards her. The frost caught up to her, but she leaped onto a tree before jumping to the next one. This was getting irritating. I could feel the power taking a toll on me. My breath was getting colder, and I could feel my insides freezing out. If I wanted to catch her, it had to be now or nev

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   146. The Enemy Within.

    Aurelia’s POVI couldn't believe it. She was standing before us with a sinister grin on her lips. Tamara. How could this be possible? When? She was always on Solana’s side, no matter what happened. So why did she betray her? There were a lot of questions running through my mind as I stared at her, and I wasn't sure that she was going to answer them. Her eyes were fixed on Solana, who didn't look as shocked as I was. If she was indeed, then she was doing a pretty good job of hiding it.“What's the meaning of this nonsense, Tamara?” she demanded, her face twisting into rage.Tamara folded her arms with a sinister smile still on her face. She didn't look fazed by Solana’s Alpha aura, which was crackling in the air. She looked to be enjoying herself as she watched the drama unfold. Rune, on the other hand, was quiet; he was simply watching Tamara with his thin brows narrowing at her.“Do I really need to explain myself?” she asked. “You killed the rightful Alpha all in the name of being t

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   145. An Alpha’s Stance.

    Aurelia’s POVThe moon hung low over the bushes, casting elongated shadows that twisted like specters across the blood-soaked ground. My heart pounded in my ears, a frantic drumbeat echoing the chaos we’d just clawed through. Bodies littered the underbrush—rogues groaning in defeat, their forms broken and frozen from Rune’s icy onslaught. The air reeked of blood and earth, thick enough to choke on. Malik stood there, a hulking silhouette with his bald head gleaming under the pale light, his golden eyes locked on Solana like a predator sizing up prey. The remaining rogues formed a loose circle around them, their breaths ragged, waiting for the signal to pounce or flee.“Solana,” I whispered urgently, stepping closer, my dagger still slick in my grip. Rune hovered at my side, his cool aura brushing my skin like a winter draft, but I ignored it, focused on her. “Are you sure about this? One-on-one with him? He’s built like a damn mountain, and you’re exhausted.”She turned slightly, her

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   144. The Midnight Attack.

    Rune’s POVI could feel her warmth as her body pressed against mine. Yes. You heard that right. My hands were wrapped around Aurelia as we slept on the same bed. She had been vulnerable tonight, and it was because of one thing. She finally trusted again. And this was because I had told her the secret that I had vowed to protect until the time was right. But this was the completely wrong time to tell her the truth. I wasn't sure that she would be able to focus on the task at hand, which was to help bring Solana’s pack back together.Aurelia moaned as she moved her head across the pillow. I wasn't sure how she was able to sleep while being this close to me. I was resisting every temptation to grab her closer to me and plant a kiss on her lips. That would ruin everything. But the thirst at the pit of my stomach grew with each passing minute. My wolf didn't help matters either. He was rummaging in the pit of my stomach, wondering when I was going to take action. But then, a sign of relie

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   143. She knows.

    Rune’s POVFinally, she knew. It was bound to happen, and now she knew. It was about time. There was no need to hide the secret while leaving her in the dark. I had seen the hurt in her eyes earlier in the living room when Solana didn't tell her about her request for me to call on the Celestial Trinity for assistance. That wasn't something that she needed to know for now.“For how long?” I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.She was silent as she watched me. Maybe a little bit surprised that I wasn't freaking out that the secret was out. Maybe it would bring her a sense of satisfaction that she finally knew about my powers, but there was a bomb coming that she didn't expect. One that was going to rock her world.“This evening,” she replied. ‘I saw you use it. For someone who had hidden it for so long, I didn't expect you to be that reckless.”I scoffed at her words.“Or maybe you did want me to see it,” she said.Bingo. I wasn't really sure why I had done it, but I just wanted her

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   142. Public Secrets.

    Aurelia’s POVI wasn't aware that Rune had stepped out with Solana, but the gloomy look on her face when she returned made me realize that something was off about the conversation they had. I didn't want to ask. I wouldn't come off as insecure, but something was eating Solana from the inside, and I just wanted to know if I could help.“Is everything okay?” I asked as she sat on the couch. Tamara had stepped out a couple of minutes ago to oversee some pack business, and I wasn't sure that she was coming back soon. And as for Rune and me, I wondered where we were going to sleep tonight.“Yeah, I'm fine, just tired,” she lied with a sigh as she leaned her head backwards on the couch.Rune, on the other hand, was completely silent. He was staring at the floor with his hands clasped together like he was about to drop a message that was going to sound like a bomb. I was worried not just about the silence but about the fact that the both of them were now keeping secrets from me. This wasn't
