Ember Frost's POV

I felt a wave of relief wash over me, thankful for his thoughtful kindness that helped lift the sudden sadness I’d been feeling.

"I've been judging you all wrong," I said quietly. "It’s never right to judge someone you don’t truly know. Thank you for being there for me today, for giving me a shoulder to lean on, and for your kindness."

He laughed again. "Come on, it’s nothing. If anyone dares to bully you again, don’t hesitate to come to me. I’ll take care of them for messing

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

    Ember Frost’s POVWe’ve had clear skies for a few days now, so this sudden shift feels a bit off. Then, almost out of nowhere, snow started falling—thick, fast, and heavy enough to cover everything in white.Still, it didn’t bother us much. In this place, winter was constant—we’d learned to move through it like it was nothing.Being used to it didn’t make it easier. There’s a difference between putting up with something and actually wanting it. And lying out in the cold until noon, feeling the chill sink deep into my bones, was definitely not my idea of a good time.The cold had soaked through my clothes a long time ago. My fingers were stiff, my legs barely responding. Every breath felt sharp in my chest, like I was inhaling ice. If I stayed like this any longer, I might just freeze into the ground and become part of it.So this was what they meant by keeping watch.At first, I thought this would be simple. Just sit, observe, and wait. It wasn’t. No one tells you how slowly time move

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Close to the Ruins

    Ember Frost’s POVHenry didn’t fully trust the report, but he didn’t ignore it either. Something about it felt off, and he couldn’t shake that feeling.“What do you think they’re after?” he asked, his voice low but firm.Jules exhaled slowly and shook her head. “I honestly don’t know. They’ve settled in a cave at the foot of the mountain, and it looks like they plan to stay for a while. I didn’t go any closer than I had to—it didn’t feel safe. I just watched from a distance with the others. Once they were settled, we came straight back.”Henry gave a small nod. “You handled that well,” he said. He gestured toward the door. “Go to your room and take a breather. We’ve got a long night ahead, and you’ll need all your focus.”Jules looked drained but didn’t argue. After a short nod, she left for her room.The moment she stepped out, I turned to Henry. “Could this be the same human group the scouts reported earlier?” I asked, trying to make sense of it all.“They are,” he said, his express

  • 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   The Duke’s Daughter

    Ember Frost’s POVIt wasn’t anything strong, just some refreshing fruit-infused water.At first, the girls were a bit hesitant, but soon enough, they warmed up and started sharing all kinds of embarrassing stories about me from school with my mom."You should’ve seen the look on the baseball captai

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Unwelcome Invitation

    Orion’s POV ​It was absurd. The northern Duke’s affection for his daughter was understandable. But for my own father to entertain such a ridiculous idea—unthinkable.“Calm down, son,” my father replied evenly. “It’s nothing more than a proposal. There’s no harm in letting young people get to know

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Petals of Change

    Owen Greystone’s POV I couldn’t bring myself to turn down a lovely lady so bluntly, so I kept my reply vague. “Something urgent came up with my pack,” I said, trying to sound casual. “There’s a meeting I have to get back to.”"Alright," Alina replied, her voice tinged with regret. "Have a good nig

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Break up

    Orion’s POV I didn’t dare meet Ember’s eyes. The Northern Duke’s words had been far too direct, and I was certain she’d caught the meaning beneath them.They called it just ‘accompany’, but we all knew what it really was—a carefully arranged matchmaking trip.“Ah… you see,” I began awkwardly, stru
