Ember Frost’s POV

“I can’t go back like this,” I said, shaking my head. “Eira’s condition is still unstable, and we don’t have answers. Returning now would make everything we did meaningless.”

A spark of irritation flared inside me, sudden and fierce. Why did Orion feel the need to control everything? He wasn’t my parent. He wasn’t my master. What gave him the right to decide whether I stayed or went?

Who was he to decide such matters for me?

I knew he cared. I knew that. And I cared about him

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Where Do I Belong Now?

    Ember Frost’s POVI looked down at his trembling hands and couldn't help wondering how much faith I should put in this examination.About fifteen minutes later, the sanctuary doors burst open. I barely had a chance to look up before someone rushed straight to my side."Ember!"Orion wrapped me in a fierce hug, holding on as though he was afraid I'd disappear again."You're awake," he breathed, his voice rough with relief. "You're really awake... I can't believe it."I hugged him back, gently rubbing his back in slow, soothing circles, hoping to calm the trembling I could still feel."I'm here, Orion," I murmured. "It's okay... I'm safe."For a long moment, neither of us moved. The panic that had driven him here slowly gave way as his breathing evened out.It wasn't until I glanced toward the doctor, who was still waiting patiently nearby, that Orion seemed to realize where he was. He let go of me at once and took a quick step back, looking suddenly self-conscious."Sorry," he said, ru

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Sanctuary of My Awakening

    Ember Frost’s POVThe sharp smell of antiseptic filled the air. It was familiar, unpleasant... but oddly easy to ignore.My body felt heavy. Even opening my eyes seemed to take more effort than I could manage.Something cool rested against my wrist. A tube. I could feel a faint, steady flow through it, though I couldn't tell what it was carrying.A hospital.That was the first thought that came to me as my mind slowly cleared.The second was far less important.What time is it?I had no idea how long I'd been out. It could have been minutes or much longer. I wasn't even sure there was a clock nearby to check.After a moment, I finally forced my eyes open.I'd been right.A hospital.At least... I thought it was.The ceiling stretched high above me, and beyond it I caught glimpses of more beds than I could count.Before I could make sense of it, exhaustion pulled me back into stillness.Okay, maybe I got a little carried away. Waiting around was just that boring.Lying there, time bare

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Self in the Water

    Ember Frost’s POVThe weather hadn't changed at all. It was as though the day had simply decided to stay suspended in time.Soft white clouds drifted across a pale, washed-out sky while a gentle breeze brushed against my skin. It wasn't cold, only cool enough to make the air feel fresh and impossibly light. I liked it more than I expected.There was something freeing about it. For a moment, I imagined stretching out wherever I happened to be—on an open field, beside a quiet shore, or even waist-deep in calm water—doing nothing except listening to the wind move through my hair while the water lapped softly against my skin.In a place like this, I felt as though I could sleep forever, letting the days drift into nights and the nights into days without ever noticing the difference. And when I finally woke, I'd run again—wild and free—across the endless wilderness.The river reflected me in gentle ripples. Sunlight danced across the water, spilling over my hair and wings until they seemed

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Between Death and Dawn

    Eira’s POVI was dead. That much I understood with a strange, detached clarity.Death wasn't what I had expected. It was neither purely soft nor purely cruel, but something in between—an odd contradiction that brushed against my senses without ever fully taking shape. One moment I felt submerged in deep, shifting water; the next, I was tumbling endlessly through the void of space, with no direction to anchor me.Everything that had once held me together—pain, weight, the limits of flesh—had fallen away. My body no longer mattered. It was something discarded, distant, almost irrelevant now. What remained was awareness alone, untethered—a soul drifting somewhere beyond the reach of any path back.And in that quiet, uncertain expanse, a single question lingered.Who would be the one to find me now?A faint unease stirred within me. Would the Moon Goddess even accept someone who had followed the Goddess of Fate? Would she recognize a soul touched by moonlight's shadow?But the stillness r

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Beyond Divinity

    Ember Frost’s POVMy existence felt detached from all of that, as though it belonged to a world that no longer had any meaning to me.Yet when I finally felt the urge to atone for my past mistakes, I was forced to confront a harsh truth: even divinity has its limits. I learned that a god could bind a soul or fashion a vessel for it, but the result was always the same—an empty shell that moved without ever truly living.Resurrection lay beyond even divine power. Through her mirror, the Goddess of Fate ensured that no one could defy the natural order of life and death.Still, as Malachar once explained, while gods could not bring the dead back to life, they could claim souls as their followers. That same authority extended even to those born of divine essence.A lineage existed to serve its creator. If I wished to restore my fallen comrades in any meaningful sense, there was only one path left.It was a path burdened by two significant obstacles.The first was the nature of what were k

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Choice of Divinity

    Ember Frost’s POVChunks of flesh sloughed away from him, but no bones emerged beneath. What should have been a skeleton was instead filled with an endless, void-like darkness, as though something hollow and infinite lay where his body should have been. I couldn’t tell whether the supreme demon’s full-strength strike would be enough to end him during his regeneration phase, but one thing was clear—this was the most exposed he would ever be. His form was in complete ruin.Without a physical vessel to anchor his power, only two outcomes seemed likely. Either he would be forced to retreat back into Hell, or his true body would descend—and if that happened, the Stormsphire Mountains wouldn’t remain on any map afterward.I wasn’t in any better condition either—time was still against me. Even if I forced Lunaris around my body, it wouldn’t be enough to fully protect me. The blow I’d taken was on the same level as Malachar’s; nothing about it was lighter.My bones were cracked, my armor red

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Confession

    Ember Frost’s POV"Sorry, Miss, he's not here. He took some time off and went home.""He took leave?" I blinked in surprise."Yes, Miss." The guards at the checkpoint said "Sir Orion should be back later this afternoon.""I see. Thank you."The moment I heard Orion wasn’t in barracks, all the confi
