Ember Frost’s POV

A faint voice sounded down from upstairs, soft and tired. “Anything you make is fine, sweetheart,” the woman said gently. “I’ll like it.”

The girl carried the meal up carefully. Her mother wasn’t the lively woman she remembered from years ago. Time or something crueler had hollowed her out.

Her skin looked drained of color, her frame too fragile for her age. She sat slumped near the hearth, barely holding herself upright. Only her eyes were alive, bright and warm like fireligh

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Road to Malachar

    Ember Frost’s POVI couldn’t even make sense of what just happened. “What have you done?” I asked, my voice coming out rough.The High Priestess only chuckled like it was all a game. With a slow sweep of her hand, the ground answered her—dried bones, metal shards, and crystal dust twisting together until they formed several rough carriages.“I told you already,” she said, calmly. “Everything you are will be taken… until my lord is fully repaid.”Another flick of her fingers, the wolves froze mid-movement. One after another, they climbed into the carriages, moving like strings had been pulled tight inside them. The High Priestess watched without a change in expression, as if this was normal.“You should be thankful,” she said casually, almost like she was offering kindness. “At least your bodies still have a purpose. Even if it’s just used in place of horses to ride my lord.”She tilted her head slightly, watching them like it was nothing unusual.“You’ll get used to it,” she said. “F

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Under Eternal Night

    Ember Frost’s POVEach member of the group had been taken aside by that strange old lady, one after another. None of them came back looking hurt or broken. There was no questioning, no rough treatment.Some of the strongest ones returned with seals placed on them. Others were taken in, then somehow released without anything happening at all. It didn’t make sense.The strange part was, no one looked relieved. Just confused. And a little uneasy.Elder Anna was the only one people kept looking toward for answers, but even she didn’t seem to have any. If she couldn’t break whatever had been done to us, then talking about it among ourselves felt pointless.The humans treating us didn’t act like we mattered at all. No food was given. No water either. We were left there like we were already forgotten. Through the iron bars, I could see their camp in motion—packs being tightened, tents pulled down, everyone getting ready to move like the night ahead wasn’t a threat at all.Then Rook showed up

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Seal of Silence

    Ember Frost's POVA short while later, the cell door opened again.Elder Anna was shoved inside.At first, she looked fine. No injuries. No bruises. But once she started walking toward me, I noticed how drained she looked, like whatever they did to her had taken more out of her mind than her body. I didn’t wait for the guards to settle. I crossed the space quickly and guided her away from the door, into the dimmer corner where we couldn’t be easily watched.“Tell me what they did,” I said, keeping my voice low. She let out a slow breath. Her shoulders stayed tense, and it took her a moment before she finally looked at me properly. “They didn’t do anything physical,” she said softly. “No interrogation either.” She paused, swallowing hard.“They bound my powers,” she finished quietly.I froze for a second. “What did you say?”She gave a small nod. “My powers are gone. I can’t reach them anymore.”Her voice sounded strained, like she was forcing herself to stay calm.Then she leaned i

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown    Axel’s Betrayal

    Ember Frost’s POV“You don’t get to hide behind your past to excuse what you did,” I said, my voice turning colder. “You talk like the world forced you into this, but nobody forced you to steal from your own people.”No answer came back immediately from the shadows, but I didn’t stop.“You keep whining about nobles, privilege, and unfair treatment, but let’s be honest here.” I looked toward the darkness ahead. “This was never about justice. You saw an opportunity to profit, and you took it.”The atmosphere around us grew heavier.“You were selling information behind everyone’s backs. Smuggling out pack supplies. Even military stock started disappearing under your watch.”A few people around me went silent after hearing that. Even from a distance, I could feel the tension shift.“And when money stopped being enough for you, you started dealing weapons too,” I said coldly. “Do you even realize what could’ve happened if those supplies ended up in human hands?”Somewhere deeper in the rav

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Final Escape Route

    Ember Frost's POV For a moment, I just stared at her. That didn’t make sense. Why were they heading that way? Did they seriously think the security unit still knew nothing about them? Communication in the area had been unstable for days, but this base wasn’t completely isolated. By now, most of the team had already heard what he had done. Then a bad thought crept into my head. No… maybe that was never their destination in the first place. My chest tightened. “The human caves…” The moment the idea crossed my mind, everything clicked together. “That crazy bastard.” Axel had realized he was cornered. There was nowhere left for him to run inside werewolf territory, so he’d chosen the worst possible option. He was planning to trade information for protection. Maybe he thought the humans would shelter him if he handed over enough secrets. What an idiot. Did he really think humans and werewolves could ever trust each other that easily after everything between them? A traitor

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Tracks in the Snow

    Ember Frost’s POVWe had done everything within our reach, but it still wasn’t enough to bring him back the way everyone had hoped. Elder Anna took it the hardest. She didn’t say much, but it showed on her — that quiet mix of failure and worry she couldn’t hide. With no clear leader left standing, the responsibility naturally fell on me. I didn’t have the space to fall apart. Everyone was scattered, searching for direction, so I stepped into that gap and did what I could to keep things together.Then a message came from the palace through Elder Harriet to Elder Anna, and everything shifted at once. A transport had already been sent to the mountain base, expected to arrive within five hours.There was no backup arrangement this time. Once the transport arrived, everyone was leaving together. The situation had turned urgent enough that no one was being left behind or held back for later. That meant one thing — there was no time left to linger here.I shut down the temporary protective

    Ember Frost’s POV“What? “The Stormspire Mountains?” Eira blinked at me as if I’d spoken in another language. “There are sorcerers living out there, too? That can’t be right. I’ve never heard of anything like that.”“I hadn’t either,” I admitted with a helpless shrug. “But according to what that w

  • 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.

  • 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.
