Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Door That Wasn’t There
Ember Frost’s POVThe thought kept circling in my head. The more I thought about it, the clearer it became. We didn’t have the luxury of waiting around.I decided to act.But the problem was simple—we only had one cloak.That meant only one of us could take the risk… unless it wasn’t meant to be used that way.Could it be shared? Could it cover more than one of us?There were four of us.I didn’t wait to find out.Reaching out, I grabbed the cloak and pulled it around our shoulders, motioning for them to hold it in place.“Let’s see what’s on the other side,” I said, keeping my voice even. “You don’t need to worry. You’ve seen what I can do. If anything comes at us—whatever it is—I can handle it.”Orion let out a quiet breath, the tension in it hard to miss.“That’s not the point,” he said, softer now, but still firm. “You said you wouldn’t put yourself in danger like this again.”“Are you sure about this?” Elder Harriet asked, a hint of hesitation in her voice.I gave a small, half-h
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Pass
Ember Frost’s POVI pushed my mind, trying to remember where I’d seen that cloak before. The memory is faint but familiar, like something I should know. But each time I got close, the details slipped away, leaving me with nothing but that uneasy sense that I was missing something important.I frowned and looked around again, checking every corner, but it wasn’t anywhere in sight. If this really was Medina’s room, then the cloak should be here… somewhere.This might be our only chance to get the truth before Henry returns. But my head was a mess, and I couldn’t think straight.“Maybe we should head back before things get out of hand,” Orion suggested, pulling me out of my thoughts. “If Sir Henry finds out we’re here—or hears about this—it won’t be easy to explain.”“Hold on… it wasn’t this room I saw that cloak in,” I cut in. “It was in Elder Anna’s room.”He went still, the words clearly catching him off guard.“A deep velvet green… with emerald stitching. Thin silver threads ran thro
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Behind the Hidden Window
Ember Frost’s POVThe room was tense, everyone waiting for his response.“Stop saying nonsense. You’re not weak,” he said, his voice calm but steady. “Right now, you need to focus on getting your strength back.”He crossed his arms slightly, then added, “Someone else will handle your duties for a few days. That’s not something you need to worry about.”His tone softened a bit.“When you’ve been out in harsh conditions for too long, your body eventually pushes back. It happens to everyone. It doesn’t mean you’re weak—it just means you’ve reached your limit for now.”He gave a small nod, as if sealing the point.“Rest. You’ll get back on your feet soon enough, and when you do, you can return to your work.”I didn’t push back.I didn't need to.That was enough.The rest fell into place faster than expected.After going through the motions of checking on me, Elder Anna straightened up and glanced around the group.“Why don’t you assign someone to go with me? Maybe Axel.” she said, as if t
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Hidden Thread
Ember Frost’s POVThose strange pockets of warped space were never meant to be seen. They were built with intent—quietly tucked away, shaped to be overlooked. Even if someone passed right by them, they’d never think to question what they didn’t see. And if they got too close… the space would turn them away without them realizing it.We had spent months chasing that kind of distortion, only to end up right where we started—nowhere.Still, something had changed.It wasn’t much, just a small thread of understanding, but after so many empty attempts, it felt like enough to hold onto.By the time I finished explaining everything we’d gathered, my body was already giving out on me. My voice felt dry, my thoughts sluggish, like I’d pushed myself a little too far this time.Henry noticed.He didn’t argue or ask questions. Just cut me off before I could even suggest going back out.“Stay,” he said simply.That was it. No room to protest.Someone was told to remain with me, and just like that,
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Beneath What We See
Ember Frost’s POVEira caught on to what I was getting at almost right away.As Jules and the others were still debating whether to report what we’d discovered, she made eye contact with me, her voice dropping to a quiet thread through our mind link.“You’re thinking Sir Henry’s situation might be connected to the same kind of spatial trick… aren’t you?”There was a certain unease in her tone, like she didn’t like where the thought was going, but couldn’t ignore it either.“Yes… I think so,” I said after a short pause.Eira frowned slightly, her voice dropping. “But I’ve actually been to that place with Elder Harriet and Elder Marcus. We didn’t notice anything strange like what we just saw with the ravine.”That made sense. If it was the same kind of trick, we should have felt something off back then.I shook my head a little, trying to piece it together. “Maybe it’s not built the same way,” I said. “It might not be a single space, it could be… something overlapping. One place hidden

Ember Frost’s POVI needed more than a guess—I needed something solid to hold onto.So I started asking questions.“When they showed up, what did they look like? Were they out of breath, like they’d been walking for hours… or did they look relaxed, like it was nothing?”Eira didn’t even hesitate. “They’re tired. Really tired. You can tell just by looking at them. Their steps are slow, like every movement costs them something. Some of them can barely keep their balance.”That painted a clearer picture—but not a complete one.“Did anyone look behind them at all?” I asked. “Like… checking the way they came, just to be sure?”I hesitated for a second, then added, “Or maybe their faces gave something away? Shock, confusion… even a bit of excitement? Anything that felt off?”She paused for a while.“Honestly… I didn’t really notice,” she said after a moment. “I was paying more attention to the group as a whole.”Then she added, “But some members of my team did see something. They said they
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Playboy Exception
Ember Frost's POV “How do you feel?” my father asked, expressionless, the question sounding more like an assessment than a father’s care.I forced myself to drop the playful tone I often slipped into and answered with careful composure, “Not bad.”“Your Majesty, she performed admirably. With time,

Ember Frost's POVAfter a few minutes, a tall man in his late fifties walked into the room. His presence suddenly made the big space feel small, like he filled it all up just by being there."It's okay, Renee, enough of the crying. Don't disgrace yourself in front of the child," he said, pulling he
