Ember Frost’s POV

My father looked squarely at the bald elder, his tone calm but unmistakably hard. "I believe Elder Thane makes a fair point, Elder Donald," he said, his gaze never shifting from the stubborn old man who refused to drop the issue. "With danger looming over us, our attention should be on the real threat, don’t you agree?"

Anyone with half a brain would have taken the cue and let the matter rest.

But Elder Donald?

No—he clung to his anger like it was a badge of honor.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   A Dangerous Interest

    Ember Frost’s POV“Bullshit,” I snapped.The High Priestess made a strangled sound, caught somewhere between rage and panic, but Malachar didn’t even glance at her. That alone seemed to push the woman closer to losing control.“My lord—this insolence, this disrespect—”“Enough,” Malachar said quietly.It wasn't loud, but the cavern fell silent all the same. Even the High Priestess stopped talking.A knot tightened in my stomach as I watched a thin strand of black mist appear beside Malachar.Orion’s voice cracked behind me. “Don’t—”I already knew what he meant. Move. Get out of the way.But I didn’t.Not because I was fearless. Because I refused to step back.The moment the mist touched me, my skin went cold.And then something inside me answered it.I wasn't trying to get myself killed.Provoking Malachar hadn't been an accident. I'd wanted his attention from the start. As long as he struck first, I would have a chance to use Lunaris on him.I'd considered attacking with Lunaris dir

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Wrong Familiarity

    Ember Frost’s POVI couldn’t stop looking at him. Something about it didn’t sit right. It had nothing to do with the blood, the altar, or even the fact that he was a demon.But because he reminded me of someone.Eira.A chill ran down my spine.I looked again, searching for the resemblance. It didn't make sense. Their faces weren't identical. His features were sharper, more commanding. There was a hardness to him that Eira had never possessed.Yet the familiarity remained.It hid in the curve of a smile that wasn't there. In the way his eyes seemed to hold centuries of stories. In something I couldn't point to but couldn't ignore either.The more I looked, the more uneasy I became.No.That couldn't be right.Eira and Malachar couldn't be connected. The gap between them spanned thousands of years. There was no logical explanation for it.And yet...So why did I keep seeing her face every time I looked at him?Malachar stood beneath the moonlight spilling through the broken temple roo

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Face of a Fallen God

    Ember Frost’s POVI had never witnessed magic like this before.Streams of power tore across the altar, each spell more unsettling than the last. My pulse hammered in my ears as I watched. For the first time, I understood why ancient sorcerers had been feared for centuries.Compared to this, the magic most werewolf elders wielded felt almost ordinary. Powerful, yes, but familiar.Nothing behaved the way it should have. Attacks that looked certain to hit somehow missed. Others vanished before they could reach her. No matter how closely I watched, I couldn't figure out how she was doing it.Around me, every werewolf remained tense. Not a single person dared lower their guard.The black mist never stayed still. It drifted around the High Priestess in slow, restless waves, sometimes concealing her before revealing her again. The sight of it made me uneasy.What frightened me most was how little effort she seemed to be using.Attacks that should have forced anyone onto the defensive were b

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Devouring of Souls

    Ember Frost’s POV"When your souls merge with His divine power, you will never be separated from Him. His strength becomes your strength. His eternity becomes your eternity."Her eyes gleamed with fanatical devotion."You wished for eternal life, did you not?"An uncomfortable silence followed.No one agreed with her, but no one seemed brave enough to challenge her either.The smile on her face faded slightly."You wanted rewards without sacrifice," she said, her gaze sweeping across the crowd. "You wanted blessings without paying the price. How selfish."I almost laughed.The woman was preparing to feed them to a nightmare from another realm, and somehow they were the selfish ones.Then she raised a hand.At first, nothing happened. A few confused glances passed through the crowd before several fanatics suddenly stiffened. Their bodies began moving toward the High Priestess against their will, their expressions twisting with panic as they struggled to resist.A chill settled in my st

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Offering of Souls

    Ember Frost's POVI threw myself at the High Priestess, but I wasn't fast enough.She slipped away before I could reach her, moving with an ease that made my stomach drop. Her eyes flicked toward me for the briefest second, almost amused, and then she spoke the final words of the incantation.The world changed.A column of black energy shot into the sky.The force of it hit me like a physical blow. The stone beneath my feet trembled, my ears rang, and for a second I couldn't breathe.Then the entire altar fell still.The battle that had filled the chamber with noise and chaos vanished in an instant. Wolves stopped fighting. Fanatics stopped running. Even the injured struggling across the ground froze where they were.A cold shiver raced down my spine, and every muscle in my body locked up.Something had arrived.I didn't know what it was, but the dread that swept through me felt older than fear. I had faced rogues, monsters, and death before. This was different.My mind was still tryi

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Blood on the Altar

    Ember Frost’s POVThe order was pointless. Most of them were already on their knees, heads lowered and backs bent, looking more like livestock waiting for slaughter than worshippers waiting for a blessing.Then the sky changed.The clouds slowly drifted apart, and moonlight spilled down onto the altar, turning the entire stone platform a pale silver. A murmur passed through the crowd, low and uncertain, but it didn’t last long.The High Priestess drew a knife without hesitation and sliced her palm. Blood dripped onto the stone as she began to chant, low and steady at first, then rising with each word.I didn’t understand any of it, but something about the sound made my skin crawl. It felt wrong in a way I couldn’t explain, like I wasn’t supposed to be hearing it at all.Then a scream cut through the night.The chanting stuttered for half a beat, and every head snapped toward the darkness.Something burst out from the edge of the forest.Wolves.The order was pointless. Most of them wer

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Into the Void

    Ember Frost’s POVShe hadn’t misunderstood anything. I knew exactly why she hesitated. The shards were dangerous. Even though she’d heard me say I could absorb and break down any strange energy, she had never actually seen me do it. To her, it was still a risk. And I was the one stepping into it.I

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Through the Shattered Void

    Ember Frost’s POVThe longer I turned it over in my mind, the more the possibility began to feel real. Not certain—but real enough to worry me.To begin with, Eira stood out from everyone else. Her bloodline alone made her different. There was something rare in it, something old and tangled, like a

    Ember Frost’s POVMost of them were still unconscious when I went around checking.My heart raced at first as I knelt beside each one, brushing the snow from their faces and listening for steady breaths. One by one, I realized the damage wasn’t as severe as it looked in the chaos.A few scratches,

    Ember Frost’s POV“So, I came here today to ask for your forgiveness,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.“You’ve always been the one to make peace after our arguments,” I continued, “because you love me, because you care enough to set your pride aside. So… why can’t I do the same this time?
