Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Goodbyes and Hidden Truths
Ember Frost’s PovAfter everything finally settled, my days drifted back into something that resembled peace. Strangely enough, the calm made me restless. With no schemes to unravel, no danger threatening the pack, and no constant planning to occupy my mind, I felt strangely out of place—like someone who had grown too used to standing on tiptoe.“Listen,” Eira said suddenly, narrowing her eyes at me, “if you say something like that again, don’t even think about showing up here ten times a day just to kill time.”She reached into her bag and carefully pulled out an old book that once belonged to her parents. Across from her, I lay sprawled on the couch, half-asleep, letting the sunlight warm my face.“Isn’t this what relaxing looks like?” I replied lazily. “Life is short. We should enjoy it while we can.” I had picked that line up from a philosophy book in the human world not long ago, and it stuck in my brain. The more I thought about it, the more sense it made.Eira froze mid-motion.
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Golem
Ember Frost’s POVAfter talking to Orion for a while, a calm warmth settled over me, slowly easing the tension in my chest. I turned slowly and noticed my mother standing quietly in the hallway, watching me with a gentle gaze. She stepped forward and sat beside me on the couch, taking my hand in hers.“Mother…” I hurriedly wiped my cheeks and murmured, embarrassed. “I’m sorry.”She brushed my tears away with the back of her hand and spoke softly, “Sweetheart, why are you crying all of a sudden?”“I… I don’t even know,” I whispered. “I didn’t even realize it until just now.”Her gaze stayed on me, warm and understanding. “I know, my love. I understand exactly how you feel. Your father would feel the same; seeing Seraphina like this, he’d be worried and pained for her, too. Feeling empathy doesn’t mean you’re weak or wrong.”“I know… but she’s still a criminal,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper, tangled with confusion and a strange mix of anger and pity.“Yes,” my mother nod
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Through the Dark
Ember Frost’s POVAll of a sudden, a strange feeling washed over me. I couldn’t even explain it properly. No one had accused me of anything, no one had said anything cruel, yet my chest felt tight, as if I’d been wronged in some unfair way. It was an unreasonable sadness, but it hurt all the same.At that moment, I missed him unbearably.I wanted to hear Orion’s voice. I wanted to complain, to say nothing at all, to hide in the warmth of his presence and forget everything else for a while.I called him. He answered before the second ring could even finish.“Ember?” His voice came through immediately, alert and tense. “What’s wrong, my love?”He sounded exhausted, like someone who hadn’t slept. He must have been watching over that cursed cocoon all night.The moment I heard him, my throat closed up. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.“Ember?” His voice grew tense with worry. “Talk to me. Are you still there?”Then, more urgently, “Tell me what happened. I’ll come to you right no
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Fractured Mind
Ember Frost’s POVEira and I were halfway through breakfast when the news hit like a slap to the face: Seraphina had lost her mind.“That makes no sense,” I blurted out. My first thought was that she was playing another trick. “Overnight? Just like that? She’s gone mad? Who would she even be pretending for?”Millie let out a tired sigh and shook her head. “It’s unfortunate. The elder Anna and Mira both examined her. They’ve reached the same conclusion. Seraphina is no longer sane.”I frowned. “But she was still standing her ground against the Northern Duke last night. She was bold. Aggressive.”Millie shrugged. “No one knows. Maybe her emotions finally snapped. Or maybe she’d already been unstable, and last night stripped away whatever mask she was wearing.”Even Eira looked unsettled. She knew better than anyone; she had faced Seraphina directly. That woman’s will had been stubborn, tougher than stone.I pushed my plate away, lost my appetite, and stood up. I needed answers. I went t
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Moonless Darkness
Seraphina’s POV My master was consumed by an obsession with rare bloodlines to an almost sick degree. Since he lacked the blood of prophecy himself, he buried himself in star divination, studying the stars with relentless precision. Even I could manipulate the heavens to create remarkable effects.How irritating.Sometimes, I wondered if I should have let that pitiful human die back then. Let her fall into the cinderfall pit and meet a slow, miserable end. Maybe then she would have tasted even a fraction of the pain I had endured.But I didn’t.That decision haunted me every single day. I still didn’t understand what weakness had stayed in my hand, but it had, and now I hated myself for it.The cinderfall pit became my bedtime fantasy.I pictured it in my mind, night after night. Was the cave dwelling still standing? Had the heat cracked it open? Was it miraculously intact? Or had it already collapsed into ruins?What about the golem? Had it been blown away, or was it still standing—
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown A Flicker in the Dark
Seraphina’s POVThe confinement cell was damp and freezing, the air thick with the sour smell of decay. Every breath felt rotten.The werewolves didn’t even bother to torture me. That, somehow, was the cruelest part. They brought me food. A roof over my head. A bed that barely passed for comfort in a place like this. Their so-called kindness only fueled my disgust. If their plan was to tear open my skull and see what secrets I carried, why pretend to care? Why hide their intentions behind a mask of sympathy?Savages born from failed witchcraft, parading around as if they understood civilization.I lay stiff on the narrow bed, staring at nothing, letting the minutes drag by while boredom gnawed at me.How much time did I have left?The thought stabbed deep. The curse running through my blood gave me no more than a few days before my mind became useless to them. No matter how hard they pressed, no matter how hard they tried to break me, I would never utter a word against my master.A us
