Ember Frost’s POV

Orion tensed, his breathing turning uneven. He looked like he wanted to say something, but I stopped him before he could.

“The doctor explained that I am on the verge of transitioning, and that the complex physical changes have caused my mood to alternate between happiness and rage. However, I understand that not all of my emotions can be attributed to biological shifts.”

I looked at his face, and my chest tightened. I couldn’t even picture how hurt and angry he’d be if he ever found out the truth I was keeping from him.

Could love still be regarded as genuine even if one person lied about their true identity?

Looking into those soft blue eyes, I almost disclosed the secret I've kept from him since the beginning of our relationship.

Just as all rational reasoning seemed lost, my rationality suddenly snapped me back to my senses.

It wasn’t only about me hiding who I really was; there was much more at stake. As the princess of the pack, my duty was to protect our peopl

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

    Ember Frost’s POV“Humans rarely show true gratitude,” he said, his voice low and bitter. “They’ll praise their gods for every blessing and ignore the ones who actually help them. Too often, the kindness we offer comes back to us changed, met with indifference, resentment, or even cruelty for no reason at all.”He shook his head, eyes dark. “And if someone isn’t one of them? That’s a sin in their eyes. Creatures like us? They’d blame us for every misfortune that falls their way.”I couldn’t stay silent. These words felt too extreme. “You can’t judge all humans by the worst examples, Axel,” I said firmly. “Not every human is so ignorant or ungrateful. They still feel thanks; they still care. And even if we can’t always confront them directly, we can do good quietly. Must we watch them freeze to death in the wild and do nothing?”Axel’s lips curled in a sardonic sneer. “Nice speech. But who’s actually going to save them? You? Don’t fool yourself. If something happens to our so-called ‘n

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Echoes in the Frozen Night

    Ember Frost’s POVI didn’t hesitate.“Oh? Is that so?” I said calmly, meeting his gaze head-on. “You sound deeply disappointed with what we have here, sir. A ‘leaking wooden shack,’ was it? Funny, I’d say this level of craftsmanship would leave most scholars arguing for days. Or what, even this isn’t good enough for you?” I tilted my head slightly. “Then I suppose you’ll just have to endure it. We came here for work, not a holiday retreat.”The young man’s face flushed an angry red. He stared at me as if he could burn holes through my skin with his eyes alone.“Enough,” Henry cut in. He stepped between us and shot the man with a warning look. “Axel, if you’ve got the energy to run your mouth, then you’ve got the energy to get back to work. Move.”Axel clenched his jaw but didn’t dare push further. With a frustrated hiss, he grabbed the rope beside him and stormed off.Henry turned back to me, his tone instantly softer. “I apologize, Miss Ember. Life out here is dull and rough. People

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Steps into Uncharted Ground

    Ember Frost’s POVThere was only one problem with that theory.If this mysterious father truly existed, his strength had to rival Medina’s. Anything less, and Medina would have already sensed him. A simple concealment spell would be enough to erase his presence completely. So if he really was out there… why reveal himself now?Eira had clearly reached the same conclusion.“It feels like we’ve barely dealt with one disaster, and another is already lining up,” I said with a tired sigh. “I just hope this so-called father isn’t from some long-lived race. The Stormspire Mountains are already a mess. We don’t need another ancient threat crawling out of nowhere.”Eira squeezed my hand gently. After saying our goodbyes, I stepped aside and let Elder Harriet in to begin the examination.After seven days of recovery, my strength returned far faster than expected. I felt clear-headed and steady. I was even capable of resuming training, much to my own surprise.Orion didn’t like the idea at all.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Nameless Daughter

    Ember Frost’s POV“I’ve rarely had dreams since I was a child,” Dorothy said, her voice calm but thoughtful. “Later, I read my mother’s notes and realized why; it’s a side effect of the prophecy bloodline. Once a witch is tied to a prophecy, her dreams are no longer ordinary. They’re either glimpses of the past, old visions, or premonitions.”I listened intently, feeling the seriousness in her voice.“I have a strong feeling this one was real,” she continued. “From everything I saw… it points to Medina’s daughter.”I blinked in surprise. “Wait—you mean you dreamed through her entire life?”Eira shook her head, a small frown creasing her brow. “Not exactly her entire life. She didn’t die. She wasn’t consumed by the seal. At the very last moment… I think Medina’s soul pushed her out to save her.”I muttered to myself, piecing it together. “That explains why Elder Anna couldn’t locate the seal. With Medina’s power, tracking it would be impossible… and she had the Astral Eye working for h

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Blood and Sacrifice

    Ember Frost’s POVA 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 firelight. Somehow, that made the sight even more unsettling.Eira remembered the incident clearly.Mother and daughter ate in silence. The clink of spoons against bowls sounded louder than it should have. Then the girl spoke up, her voice small but calm.“Mom… where is Dad?”The woman’s hand jerked. Her spoon nearly slipped from her fingers.“Why would you ask that all of a sudden?” she said, forcing her voice to be calm.The girl hesitated, then answered honestly. “Sofia left school early today. She s

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Awakening and the Winter Dream

    Ember Frost’s POV Or so we thought.The crime was discovered almost immediately. We were both scolded, and Orion was strictly forbidden from visiting me again until I fully recovered.Cruel and unusual punishment.Still, after five long, mind-numbing days, I was finally allowed to leave my bed.And then came the news—Eira had woken up.The moment I heard, I forgot everything else. I didn’t even bother changing. I bolted out the door in my pajamas, bare feet skidding against the floor.Millie ran after me, arms full of clothes.“Please, think of your health!” she called, finally catching up just outside the infirmary. She shoved a sweater and coat into my hands, her voice dropping into a sharp whisper. “And at least think of your dignity! Her Majesty did not approve all those etiquette lessons for this.”I flushed and quickly pulled the coat on. “Thank you, Millie.”She sighed, shaking her head. “I know you’re excited. I’ll stop lecturing—just don’t scare me like that again.”Before
