Ember Frost’s POV

"So, would you be willing to take a chance on this fool and be my girlfriend?"

I smiled widely. "Want to take a wild guess?"

He gave my nose a gentle tap, shaking his head with a laugh.

The answer to that question was obvious. If I had to pick someone to spend forever with, it would be him. He was the only one I could truly accept right now. And if he wanted it too, then why not?

I shrugged, taking his hand in mine. "Of course, I will."

The moment I finished speaking, it felt

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Hold the Line

    Ember Frost’s POV“Starting from this day, you’re not allowed to go near him anymore!”“What if she makes it worse?” Someone asked.“That’s right, she's no good!”A few of them quickly moved to block my path, like stopping me from getting near Henry could undo what had already happened. I stared at them in disbelief.They looked terrified. Angry. Desperate.And desperate people always needed someone to blame.Axel’s face was pale with exhaustion, but his eyes burned red with fury. He grabbed the front of my clothes before anyone could stop him.“You expect us to be grateful for this?” Axel barked. His breathing was uneven, anger and panic mixing together. “Just look at him!” I glanced toward Henry lying motionless on the bed.The blankets beneath him were stained dark in some places, and faint frost still clung to parts of his skin. Even unconscious, his face looked tense, trapped somewhere between pain and exhaustion.Axel noticed me looking.His fingers dug deeper into my sleeve.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Missing Pathways

    Ember Frost’s POVThe whole space looked worse by the second.Large void distortions had opened across the system space, spreading in unstable clusters. Some were small. Others expanded far enough to make my chest tighten just looking at them. They didn’t stay stable. The edges kept flickering, like the system was struggling to keep them contained.A cold feeling crawled up my spine.“What do we do about those?” I asked quietly, unable to take my eyes off them. “Can they even be fixed?”Eira’s expression turned serious. For once, she didn’t answer immediately.“Normally, Henry can self-repair through the system,” she finally said. “Slow process, but it stabilizes over time.” She looked at the spreading void distortions ahead and exhaled slowly. “But it seems his condition is far too unstable. This system barely has enough integrity left to maintain itself, let alone run proper recovery cycles.”“So there’s nothing we can do?” I asked.“I didn’t say that.” She rubbed her forehead. “Eld

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Breaking Point

    Ember Frost’s POV“Watch its pattern,” I said. “Mark every shift.”I closed my eyes briefly and expanded Lunaris again.This time, I didn’t push it aggressively.I let it spread quietly, controlled and precise.It moved through the lower structure—through fractured links and unstable spatial threads. Instead of targeting the fragment directly, I focused on the paths it used to shift itself.One by one, those routes began to lock down.Broken connections sealed.Unstable channels narrowed.Open pathways between distortion layers closed gradually, limiting its movement completely.Suddenly, a violent pressure slammed into the sealed zone, like something striking from the inside with full force. The containment held—but it groaned under impact.My pulse jumped.It was fighting inside the seal.Eira’s expression tightened.“This isn’t good,” she said. “It will affect Henry.”Another surge hit.The entire structure shook.The seal rippled under strain. Even the system beneath reacted to th

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Compression Point

    Ember Frost’s POVThose two words stopped me cold. Had she found it—the thing controlling all of this? I really hoped she had.For a moment, she said nothing.Her eyes still burned red. If she had found the source, why hadn’t she pulled out yet?A knot tightened in my chest.I started pacing. The room was cold, but sweat had already gathered on my forehead. Every second stretched longer than the last.If she didn’t say something soon, I was pulling her out myself.Then Eira hissed, “Oh… so you can transform. You keep surprising me.”Her fingers pressed harder against Henry’s chest.The air around her shifted.“Calm down, Ember,” Elder Anna said quietly. “Your worry is making it harder for her.”A cold pull swept through the space, faint at first, then growing stronger.Elder Anna and Ellan moved closer to check on Eira and Henry.“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice tight.“We don’t know,” Ellan replied, still watching carefully.“I can’t just sit here doing nothing—I need to see what

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown    Looking Too Close

    Ember Frost’s POVI knew almost at once that I wouldn’t be able to finish this by myself.What I found inside Henry was far more tangled than I had expected. Every time I thought I had cleared one part of it, something else slipped out of reach. The longer I stayed, the harder it became to keep hold of what I was doing.A sharp ache ran through my head. My breathing turned uneven.Then, suddenly, something tightened around my throat. It felt like an invisible hand closing around my neck. My body convulsed. I heard voices calling my name, but they sounded distant, blurred, as though they were reaching me from very far away. I tried to answer, but no sound came.Then the pressure broke. A violent pull tore me free.I opened my eyes and jerked back.The room felt strangely cold when I came back. For a moment I could only stand there, gasping, trying to steady myself. I was still caught in the memory of what I had seen—and what had happened—the layers, the resistance, the way everything

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   At the Threshold

    Ember Frost’s POVThe darkness had spread deep into the void of Henry’s system. It wasn’t just clinging to the surface anymore. It had settled into every part of him, woven so tightly through his being that it felt like it had always been there. One careless move could upset the balance, and that was a risk I couldn’t take. But standing there and doing nothing wasn’t an option either. So I kept going.At first, I thought it would be slow work—careful cleansing, peeling the darkness away little by little. But the deeper I went, the more that plan began to unravel. What I found wasn’t simple. There was intention behind it, something deliberately set in place.The further I went, the clearer it became that everything was connected by a single design. Not broken pieces, but one network spread across different layers, all drawing from the same hidden source. That realization changed how I moved.I stopped treating it as isolated points of corruption.Instead, I let Lunaris expand outwa

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Seal of Shadows

    Lilian’s POVThere was no time left to look back. Regret was a luxury I’d already lost. The moment I stepped into Lilian’s life and took up her identity, my path had narrowed to one cruel choice: I would move forward as the Lord’s piece on the board.There were only two ways this could end: either

    Ember Frost’s POVWhen we woke, we were sprawled in the snow just outside the base. The cold bit straight through us. None of us had on proper gear—no coats, no gloves. We were dressed like people who had stepped out for a minute and never made it back.That was when the pieces started to line up i

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Breaking the Veil

    Ember Frost’s POVI was frozen in place, my mind blank. Eira’s words strangely made sense, yet my heart refused to accept them.“If all of this is just a trick, if someone wants us to freeze to death… then why create all these dangers inside the illusion?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
