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 night."

We said our goodbyes.

I had no idea where Klaus picked up his information, but he told me, “Alina is the only heir to the Northern Pack. Word is, the Duke plans to have her study with the Lycan Pack.”

“Come on, she’s someone else’s daughter. She can go wherever she pleases and do whatever she wants,” I said, not feeling like having this conversation with him.

"Pull yourself together," he said, giving my shoulder a light shove. “What’s with you lately? This isn’t just some random rumor, you know.”

"She's just going there to study. What else could it be? Stop overthinking it."

“Oh, for the love of the Moon Goddess! Use your brain for once,” he said dramatically. “Do you really think the N

  • 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 confidence I had built up started to crumble.“Don’t you dare back out now!” Juniper snapped sharply in my head. “I mean it—you’re not allowed to retreat!”“But you heard him,” I argued weakly. “He’s not even here. What do you expect me to do?”“Then go to his house!” she shot back. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten where Duke George’s mansion is.”“Do we really have to go that far?” I groaned."Of course, sweetheart! Let’s get one thing straight, little princess: this isn’t just some silly fight between you and Orion, alright? But hey, if you want everyone to think it’s really over, then don’t bother going. If you still care about him, go make things right. I’m not about to sit here and watch you

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Facing It

    Ember Frost’s POV"You know exactly where the problem lies, so why haven’t you dealt with it yet? It all started with secrecy, and it can end the same way. Why not just tell him the truth? Let Orion know who you really are, and inform the king and Queen about your connection with him. That’s the quickest way to end this."I shook my head firmly. "I can’t do that.""Why not?" she pressed. "You can’t ignore it; this is the simplest solution to all of it."As much as I hated to admit it, she wasn’t wrong. Her words made perfect sense.But still, why did it feel so difficult?"Of course you won’t. Too scared to face it, right? Keep running, if you want," Juniper scoffed, her voice dripping with contempt.I shut her voice out, pretending not to hear.Deep down, I knew she was right, but fear held me back. I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing the disappointment in the eyes of those I loved.“How pathetic,” Juniper mocked. “But let’s be honest, you don’t really have a choice, do you? Either

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   My Wolf

    Ember Frost’s POV When I finally managed to open my eyes, I had no idea how long I’d been out.The night outside the balcony was pitch black, and the only light in the room came from a few flickering candles. The wax must’ve been mixed with herbs, because the room carried a strange blend of sweetness and something else, almost bitter.“Hello…?” My voice startled me. It came out rough and broken, like metal scraping against stone.I reached for the cup of water beside my bed and took a small sip. Even that simple act drained what little strength I had left, and I sank back against the pillow, completely worn out."How are you feeling now?" A cold, unfamiliar voice echoed through the room, sending a chill down my spine.I darted my eyes around in panic, searching for the source, but the room was empty."I'm not in this room, you idiot. I’m inside you." The voice sounded slightly irritated. "Honestly, do you skip biology class? How can you be so clueless?""No, I'm just... overwhelmed.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Becoming Juniper

    Ember Frost’s POV“My Princess, are you sure you’re okay?”I splashed water on my face and stared at my broken reflection. The heaviness of my own sadness pressed down on me as Millie’s worried voice cut through the silence, repeating the same question over and over.I wanted to tell her I was fine and reassure her. I wished for a smile to hide my worry. But the words wouldn’t come.Inside, I was unraveling. Every thought was tangled. My heart beat with pain I couldn’t hide. I was lost and broken.Could I really blame Orion for what happened? Did I have the right to be angry at him for not telling me everything?I tried to convince myself I did. After all, I was his girlfriend, and in a relationship like ours, there should be no secrets.But then I stopped myself. Was it fair for me to accuse Orion when I've also kept secrets? I’d been dishonest from the very beginning.‘Ember’ was gone, nothing more than a memory—a facade I had outgrown.Now, "Celeste" was who I truly was—the princes

  • 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, struggling to keep my composure, “soldiers aren’t usually granted leave without an important reason. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany her.”The Duke only smiled knowingly. “That’s already been taken care of,” he said with a wink. “The King and Queen have approved it personally.”His tone was light, but to me, it felt like a mocking laugh from fate—a cruel twist that cut deeper than any blade.This was all wrong—completely out of line.I clenched my fists, forcing myself to steady my ragged breathing and suffocate the storm of frustration threatening to spill over.The Northern Duke had clearly gone ahead without waiting for approval.My father had already declined his previous proposal, j

  • 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 each other better, is there?”“No, Father,” I snapped. “I refuse. I won’t meet Alina, and I certainly won’t be engaged to her. Our family hasn’t fallen so low that we need to trade marriages to maintain our standing.”After a stretch of heavy silence, my father slowly set his cup of black tea on the table and looked at me.“Tell me why,” he pressed at last.“Why what?” I frowned, confused. "Isn't it absurd to fall for a girl who's barely of age? Isn’t that reason enough?”“That’s not what I’m asking,” he countered, his tone calm but unyielding. “I know you better than that, Son. What’s really behind your refusal?”“…That’s all there is to it,” I muttered, averting my eyes. “Nothing more.”E
