Rune’s POV

She was seated by her dresser combing her hair neatly with her black night gown on. Her long auburn hair and her skin shone in the fluorescent lights making her look astonishing.

My wolf stirred in excitement as we watched her. I didn’t want this moment to end, but then I couldn’t tell her that she was my mate. I didn’t understand why she hadn’t spoken about it either. Maybe she was ignoring the bond, or she didn’t feel it at all. I couldn’t tell. But that was reason enough for me t

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   214. Epilogue.

    Aurelia’s POVOne month later.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my anxiety getting the best of me. My wedding gown glued to my body, bringing out my curves, and the bouquet in my hand filled my nose with a floral fragrance. My auburn hair was pulled back so neatly that it almost tore off my scalp, and my heart thumped so loudly that I could hear it beating. It was time.After completing my rites yesterday, I’d officially become Luna Ultima, and today, I was going to marry my real mate. After years of spending life with Kael, I’d co that mates weren’t real. That was why I’d gone ahead to marry him. But Rune showed me otherwise. He’d changed how I thought a lot, and he’d given me a renewed sense of hope ever since he came into my life. And for that, I was very grateful. That was one of the reasons I was getting married today.A knock came on the door, making me startle in shock. It swung open andI turned around to see who it was. My heart lurched in fright as I saw Solana. She w

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   213. Losses.

    Rune’s POVI was glad to see Aurelia rushing towards me from a distance. She looked battered and her face was stained with blood. Behind her was Solana who didn't look particularly happy. Maybe she still hadn't gotten over the fact that Aurelia and I were destined to be together. She was going to be fine eventually.The rest of the survivors slowly turned up as the sun came up. There were only a few of them. The most depleted had been the Silverfang pack, and with their Alpha gone now, they had nobody else to lead them. Aurelia pulled me to a hug, and immediately I felt the grief reverberating through me from her aura. What happened to her that led to that catastrophic blast? Now wasn't the time to ask about that. We needed to savor the feeling of being reunited.Aurelia pulled away from the hug and pushed my silver hair to the sides, and then, her eyes narrowed in worry.“What’s wrong?” she asked.I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I knew that she and Kael were beginning to find pe

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   212. A Dying Man’s Wish.

    Kael’s POVThey say clarity comes in death. As I lay on the grass, I couldn’t help but stare at the stars in the night sky. My right arm is totally gone now, doesn't hurt anymore. I feel nothing but numbness, and the screams from Rune are more audible than I imagined. A chuckle escaped my lips. Who would have thought I would risk my life to save him? We had been enemies for as long as I can remember, and yet, I jumped to his rescue without a second thought. Who does that? Maybe it was because the avatar of our hatred had been dissolved, and we had realized that we merely understood each other. But that wouldn't matter anymore. In a few moments, I’d be gone. Devon’s wolf growled as he spat out my hand. I felt nothing, and my vision began to blur. And then, there was a moment beside me. Rune rushed over to me, and his pale face appeared before me. He was in despair and fright, and his icy blue eyes which I’d envied for a long time were lit in guilt.“Kael! What did you do?” he asked

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   211. Climax.

    Aurelia’s POV“Step aside, Solana,” I demanded as I glared at Liora who had her arms folded as she watched me.“There’s no way I'm letting you do something stupid like this,” she said. ‘Especially not in this state.”“Then stop me now, or let me be,” I said, turning to her slowly.When she saw how serious I was, she sighed and took a step backwards. Liora chortled from the distance, grabbing my attention once more.“You made a very terrible mistake coming here, Liora,” I began. “I wanted to save you, but you relish being the villain.”Liora shrugged nonchalantly, amused by my words. She wasn't taking this seriously as I hoped. It made my chest simmer further in rage.“I told you, I made it my life’s journey to destroy you, Aurelia. And I’m going to do just that,” she said.The emptiness I felt a few minutes ago was completely gone. I could feel the power simmering at my fingertips. The familiar buzz in my veins sparked my emotions and increased my rage.“Fine. I’ll beat you back into

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   210. Moment of Truth.

    Rune’s POVHe was lying, he had to be. I knew who killed my mother. It had been the council. Devon was trying to play mind games with me, but I wasn't going to fall for it. He was going to have to do more than that to distract.“Nice try, Devon,” I said. “But that’s not going to work.”Devon chuckled and shook his head. The cacophony of chaos surrounded us, but it didn't distract me. Neither did it change the rage that was simmering in my chest. I was going to destroy him here and now.“I thought you were smarter than this, Rune,” he said, his voice laced with disappointment.He sounded sincere, but it could still be an act. “Tell me something, Rune. Were you there when your mother was killed, or did you only see her corpse?” he asked.How did he know that? I could remember rushing back to the palace as I saw the cars moving in, but by the time I’d arrived, she was dead. Father had been silent in shock, and he had been next. I had managed to step in just in time to save him, but that

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   209. Her Last Battle.

    Aurelia’s POVThe battle was intense, and I could feel the strain coming. My fingers ached in pain from the bruises of constantly using my powers, and I also felt my veins thrumming uncontrollably with power. I was well aware of the strains that came with overusing our powers, but I never thought that I would have to experience such a thing. It was just pain as Rune had described it, but there was still a long way to go on the battlefield.A man darted from behind swinging a blade at me, I pulled away immediately just before it could cut my cheek. I tried releasing my powers but nothing came up. It was just a crackle, and then, almost immediately I felt powerful. I was reminded of the time in Silicon Valley when my powers bailed on me, and I was in danger. It seemed like deja vu as the man realized this. He smiled and made his way towards me. He swung his blade, and I barely had time to react. But then, a blade struck his neck and he gurgled on his blood, his eyes wide in surprise bef

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   139. Cincinnati Rogues.

    Aurelia’s POV If there was one person who knew how to make an entrance, it was Solana. The evening sun shone on her ebony skin, illuminating the septum ring on her nose and her burning gold eyes. The croweries on her dreadlocks shone as she swayed her head towards the bald man who was staring at h

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   134. The Cincinnati Emblem.

    Rune’s POV I was foolish. I always seemed to be whenever it came to her. I had been desperate, and that desperation had driven me to do something stupid. I’d told her that she was my mate, and from the look in her eyes, I could tell that she didn't believe me. Maybe she even thought I was crazy. I

    Rune’s POV I stared at the letter, completely dumbfounded. How did she get her hands on that? The last time I checked on it, I hid it in the drawer in my study. Come to think of it, I felt a presence in my study when I returned. That was her? I was confused. Aurelia wasn't the type to look into ot

    Aurelia’s POV The 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 br
