Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Kindness Returned
Ember Frost’s POVOnce everything began to unravel, the consequences spread far beyond those at the heart of the conflict. Pain and devastation rippled outward, touching countless innocent lives. Orion. Eira. The victims who died at Malachar's hands. Even Henry and Lilian, whose broken souls remained trapped inside a dark cocoon. Every one of them became another victim of events no one could have predicted. A single snow-covered mountain had become the turning point that changed all of our lives. And somehow, it had all started with my decision to get back at a school bully in a way that was far more dramatic than it ever needed to be."I'm not going to sit here and pretend I'm responsible for every horrible thing those monsters chose to do," I said quietly. "I'm not that naive. They made their own choices. Their cruelty was theirs, not mine." I paused and let out a slow breath."But I can't stop wondering if things could've turned out differently," I admitted. "Maybe if I'd been m

Ember Frost’s POV“Hey, why am I the one getting tricked every time today?” I blurted, only half-joking.Eira raised both hands in surrender, but the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth gave her away.“I'm not making it up,” she said, trying—and failing—to keep a straight face. “It's just... not nearly as dramatic as you're making it out to be. Relax. No one's going to start a war over you or drag your name into some ridiculous rivalry.”She let out another laugh before going on.“Maybe it was like that for the earliest believers,” she said, “back when the old gods were still worshipped. But it isn't like that anymore. At least... not from anything I've ever studied. I've never come across a case where believers became that blindly devoted on their own.”She paused, looking a little more composed than before.“That's why my feelings aren't like that,” she continued. “I respect you. I care about you. I look up to you. But not to the point where I'd get jealous over you.”She smil
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Goddess of the First Crescent
Ember Frost’s POVI only learned later that the sanctuary was hidden in a quiet forest, nearly an entire district away from the Lycan pack's territory. It was close enough to their land to keep everyone aware of its presence, yet far enough away to remain neutral ground.That placement hadn't happened by chance. It had been carefully chosen to protect the sanctuary's sanctity while discouraging anyone who didn't belong.I'd always imagined it would be buried deep within Lycan territory or isolated somewhere no werewolf would ever think to look. Finding it so close to the center of their domain caught me off guard.It existed in that narrow space where safety and danger seemed to coexist. Somehow, that made perfect sense.“Doesn’t it worry you that someone could find this place?” I asked, glancing around. “It’s a sanctuary. How hidden can it really be?”Orion simply smiled, looking more amused than concerned.“Why would we need to hide it?” he asked. “This isn’t a place built for secre
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Two Years Too Late
Ember Frost’s POVAs the last of the emotions settled, an awkward silence crept in between us.Orion was still holding my hand, but he wouldn't look at me. Instead, he stared intently at the murals covering the sanctuary walls, as if they'd suddenly become the most interesting thing he'd ever seen.The faint blush creeping across his ears gave him away.I had to bite back a smile.The longer the silence stretched, the more uncomfortable he seemed to become. Before it could swallow us both, I decided to put him out of his misery."So..." I said, tilting my head with a faint smile. "Did I hear you right earlier? You called them your believers?"Orion glanced up at me, but the moment our eyes met, he looked away again, the blush on his ears deepening."...Yeah," he admitted with an embarrassed nod."They're your believers," he said quietly. "Your people... the ones who serve you. Your companions."A quiet laugh escaped me, and I shook my head."Don't say it like that," I said with an amu
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

Ember Frost’s POV“You saw me, didn’t you? I saw you too.” Eira’s voice came from behind me. I spun around, heart pounding, but all I caught was a flicker of her form before it vanished again.“I was standing in front of you before,” she said, her tone calm but urgent, “and now I’m a few steps behi

Ember Frost’s POVI didn’t stop to weigh the risks. None of that mattered. People came first; everything else could wait.Eira raised her hand and released a sharp burst of magic, scattering the shadows that had been creeping toward us with greedy intent. At the same moment, Elder Harriet and I rus

Ember Frost’s POVIt was a plain mug of tea. The ceramic was almost too hot to hold, steam curling up from the surface as if it had just been poured moments ago.That was what made it unsettling; I knew for certain the tea had been sitting there for at least nine hours.But that wasn’t possible.I
