Ember Frost’s POV

His last words were the final straw. I glared at him, my anger boiling over. "You’ll regret this later."

I knew deep down that I couldn’t win against an experienced warrior, but all I needed to do was stall for time. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that chance. He overpowered me once more, his grip tightening as he caught both of my hands with one hand and wrapped the other around my waist. I almost found myself leaning into his arms.

"Ember, please, let’s end this. You can see f

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Silent Threat

    Ember Frost’s POVI kept my eyes on Henry as he stood along the mountainside, watching every move, every reaction. But no matter how closely I studied him, nothing felt out of place. He was… too perfect. Not a single crack to hold on to.For a moment, I couldn’t help but wonder—if this demon ever grew tired of the underworld, he wouldn’t struggle to fit in here. He could slip into human life quietly, take a simple role, maybe in a craft or trade, where no one would question him. With the way he studied and copied people, he wouldn’t just blend in—he’d stand out without even trying. He could make a life for himself, gain respect, and no one would ever guess the truth behind that calm, perfect mask.The other Henry had already been sent back to the palace. But with two versions of the same man in play, I couldn’t afford to trust what I was seeing. Reaching out to my parents wasn’t an option either. As the Captain, Henry controlled all important emails. Every email in or out passed throu

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Shadows of Doubt

    Eira’s POVHenry yawned and rubbed his eyes, his voice thick with sleep. “Morning… I didn’t mean to oversleep. It gets so cold here at night; I think I might’ve caught a chill.”He shivered slightly, tugging at the edge of his sleeve as if to ward off the chill, and gave a half-smile that didn’t quite reach his tired eyes.I blinked at him, trying to wrap my head around it. “Hold on… you really spent the night here?” I asked, my voice betraying more surprise than I intended.Henry frowned, clearly puzzled by the way I was staring. After a pause, he shrugged. “Yeah… I’d rather have stayed down here, honestly. But Elder Anna said this room is full of old artifacts, so I went upstairs. Ended up keeping an eye on a bunch of creaky furniture instead,” he added with a tired sigh.That didn’t make any sense.Elder Marcus had been upstairs the entire night. There was no way he could’ve missed someone like Henry. He wasn’t exactly easy to overlook.Henry shifted uncomfortably under my gaze, a

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   A Perfect Imitation

    Eira's POVEmber told me they weren’t planning to leave Henry where he was. He was still down at the foot of the mountain, and they intended to send him back to the palace—whether he agreed to it or not.From the way she said it, it didn’t sound like a simple request. More like a decision that had already been made.“But even if we send him back,” I said, “that still doesn’t prove who he really is.”I paused, then added, “We’d just be bringing the same question back home… with no clear answer.”To make matters worse, even Elder Anna’s tracing spell showed nothing. Everything seemed normal… and that was the problem.So what were we supposed to rely on next? A DNA test? The thought almost felt pointless.If whatever we were dealing with could copy a person’s bloodline… even their soul… then copying a body wouldn’t be much harder, would it? At that point, what was left that we could actually trust?I wasn’t sure what I had said that triggered it, but something must have clicked for Ember.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown    Too Real to Be a Lie

    Eira’s POVBefore Elder Anna left, she pulled me aside and told me to keep an eye on Henry. She said she didn’t trust anyone else with it.“You may not be the strongest,” she said quietly, “but you’re the least suspicious. That’s what matters. No one looks twice at someone like you.”I frowned a little, not sure what she meant. Someone like me.“They’re too obvious,” she went on. “People watch them. They expect things from them.” Her gaze softened slightly. “You, on the other hand… no one pays that much attention.”I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or insulted.“You’re not tied to any role,” she added. “No assigned duties, no fixed position. You can move around freely without raising questions. Stay close to Henry, talk to him if you have to. Just don’t make it look like you’re trying.”She paused, then gave me a faint, knowing look.“Even if no one says it out loud, you’ll be the one watching everything. In a way… this rests on you.”At the time, I nodded like I understood. Like

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Two Faces, One Truth

    Ember Frost’s POVOrion didn’t respond right away. He just looked over at Henry, his eyes lingering a second longer than usual.I caught on to what he meant without a word. I gave one last glance toward the room, then quietly followed him into the hallway, leaving the door shut behind me.The moment we were alone, he exhaled, his expression tightening.“I don’t trust this,” he said under his breath. “Not yet. We don’t even know if that man in there is really Henry.”I frowned slightly, but didn’t interrupt.“The timing alone is off,” he continued. “He shows up out of nowhere, right when it’s just the two of us around? Asking for help like that? It feels planned.” He shook his head. “You don’t know him. And I haven’t seen him in years. Even if something’s wrong, we might not catch it.”He paused, like he was putting the pieces together in his head.“And that story of his…” Orion shook his head slowly. “I’m trying to make sense of it, but I can’t. It just sounds off—especially the part

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Shattered Illusions

    Ember Frost’s POVI knew right away what it was. The devil’s mark… the same one we’d been chasing all this time. The reason the elders even performed the Memory Veil ritual.For a split second, I almost felt a spark of hope, like this discovery might save me. But it vanished almost immediately. Nothing comes without a cost. The more I looked at her, the more the feeling of unease settled in. Medina. Every movement, every word—it all felt rehearsed, like she was hiding something beneath her calm exterior.Henry exhaled slowly, voice low. “I didn’t believe a word she said,” he admitted. “So I played along. I told her I was still too weak to move around, that I needed a few more days to rest. She agreed. But… something about her just didn’t feel right.”He paused, as if replaying it all in his head.“I didn’t trust her for a second,” Henry admitted. “So I told her I wasn’t feeling well and needed a few more days to rest. Just an excuse to keep my eyes open. During that time, I noticed he

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Damaged

    Ember Frost’s POV No matter what reasons she gave for staying with her grandmother, it didn’t change the fact that she shouldn’t be living here any longer. This house was nothing but a place of sorrow and bitter memories. It couldn’t even offer her a warm bed to rest on, let alone a peaceful corne

Everything’s different now.“I made my choice the day I decided to

    Ember Frost’s POV“It’s okay to feel sad,” I whispered as I wrapped my arms around her. Eira and Lyra joined in, and the four of us hugged her tightly. “You’ve been hurt. Anyone would break down after that. Let it out; don’t hold back. Cry if you need to. It’s the only way your heart will heal agai
