Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Beyond Human Means
Ember Frost’s POVEllan hesitated for a second before speaking. “This… isn’t something ordinary,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m not sure it should be discussed in the open. If you want, I can seal the area so only a few of us hear it.”I almost laughed in disbelief.If it was meant to be private, why bring it up like that in front of everyone? He’d basically announced it already.A faint shift in the room made me pause.People had gone quiet.Then I noticed it—one by one, their attention settled on me.I frowned a little, confused at first. Why were they all—“Ember,” Eira said, her tone calm but firm, “you decide. Do we keep this between a few people, or does everyone hear it?”For a moment, I just stared at her.Since when was I the one making that call?But no one else stepped in. No one questioned it.The weight of it sank in slowly, pressing on my chest in a way I couldn’t ignore.At first, it felt strange… then it clicked.This wasn’t just a casual question they we
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Hidden Strain
Ember Frost’s POVWe didn’t waste any time and started preparing to head out for Henry.Orion was still organizing people—handing out supplies, checking what we had, making sure nothing was missed.Waiting wasn’t an option. Standing still only made things worse. We gathered more people than usual and set out together. If something was waiting for us out there, we weren’t going in unprepared.Orion stayed back to coordinate things from here. Elder Harriet and Elder Marcus stayed with him, keeping watch over the situation and handling anything that came up in our absence.Elder Anna joined us. With her link to Harriet, she could pass information quickly between both sides without delay, which made her presence more useful out here than staying behind.Everything was set. All that was left… was to move.To my surprise, Eira—still looking a bit out of it—suddenly stepped forward and asked to come with us.Her voice wasn’t fully steady, but there was something firm underneath it.“I can s
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown A Narrow Chance
Ember Frost's POVMy mind raced back to what might have caused this. Only one place came to mind—the hemlock forest.She had been alone that night… the same night she left the cave. I had convinced everyone to go after the demon seal, thinking we were doing the right thing.That had to be it. That was the only moment it made sense.Something must have happened to her there… something we didn’t see. Something we weren’t aware of.And it’s my fault. My selfishness did this to her.Eira said something about giving in to dark powers… …Does that mean Lilian knows what she’s becoming?I looked at Eira. “You said she gave in to dark powers… does that mean Lilian is aware of what she’s turned into?”Eira shook her head. “No… her body couldn’t fight the demon, so she gave in. Now she’s being used as a cradle… for demonic rebirth.”The words didn’t sit right with me.A cradle for demonic rebirth… like something growing inside her, using her?Was it possible that whatever was inside her wasn’t
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown The Point of No Return
Ember Frost’s POVEira remained like that for two days—quiet and distant. She was with me, yet it felt like she was somewhere else entirely. No one dared to say much. We all saw it, but kept silent. It felt like anything we said might break whatever little calm was left. Everyone who knew what we’d found carried the same uneasy silence. And just when it couldn’t feel heavier—The third day came carrying its own troubles. A messenger arrived from the palace carrying a wrapped bundle. He didn’t speak at first. Just stood there, like whatever he had brought was heavier than his words.After a moment, he finally spoke.“The king instructed me to deliver this,” he said, handing the bundle to Elder Anna.We opened it carefully.Inside were sketches.And a note.The note came first.Lilian has woken up. But something is not right.A chill ran through me.“What does that mean?” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else.Then I saw the second line.She is not human anymore.My attention
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown A Gift or a Curse
Ember Frost’s POVThere was no way out of this. No right answer—just choices that all came with a cost, and none of them kind. When I looked up, Eira hadn’t moved.She looked distant, like she wasn’t fully there anymore. But I didn’t need to ask to know why.No one needed to ask what was wrong. You could feel it in the way she stayed quiet. And the truth was, her situation wasn’t any easier than Medina’s.And just like before, there were no good options.She had a quiet strength to her, the kind that didn’t break easily. Her kindness wasn’t weak—it was firm, steady. Like clear water that refused to hold even a speck of dirt. Once she believed something was right, she wouldn’t turn away from it.But her world had already been stripped down to almost nothing. Her grandmother. Her mother. And somewhere out there… her father—the one person she had never met.But there was one cruel truth we couldn’t ignore.If there was any chance at all, it had to come from her wizard father.The man w
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Medina’s Hidden Truth
Ember Frost’s POVBeside me, Elder Anna reached out and gently ran her fingers over the surface of the cloak. If anyone could make sense of the designs, it would be her.She studied it in silence for a moment before speaking.“These aren’t unusual symbols,” she said slowly. “You’ll find them in all kinds of old works. But this…”She paused, tracing the wounded animal figure at the center.“This combination feels off. Like it doesn’t belong together.” I watched her expression tighten slightly, which was rare.“It’s not just what it means,” she continued. “Even the way it’s drawn doesn’t line up. The outer patterns are soft, almost delicate. But the figure at the center…” Her fingers paused there. “It’s rough. Uneven. Like it was added afterward.”“You mean it was altered?” I asked.She gave a small nod. “That’s what it looks like to me. As if the artifact existed first, and then someone came along and carved the animal into it afterward… or forced the designs together.”A faint chill
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown Through the Dark
Ember Frost’s POVAll of a sudden, a strange feeling washed over me. I couldn’t even explain it properly. No one had accused me of anything, no one had said anything cruel, yet my chest felt tight, as if I’d been wronged in some unfair way. It was an unreasonable sadness, but it hurt all the same.

Ember Frost’s POV The Northern Duke looked at me, his eyes brimming with tears. At that moment, he seemed stripped of all authority, fragile, exposed, almost like a child who didn’t know where to turn.I broke eye contact, forcing myself not to stop, and pressed on. “If Seraphina truly felt nothing

Ember Frost POVI sat quietly in the study room.The air felt heavy. Everyone carried the same pained look; my father and Duke George kept glancing at the Northern Duke with guilt and sorrow burning in their eyes. But he seemed trapped far inside his grief, barely aware of any of us. It was like he

Seraphina’s POVThe confinement cell was damp and freezing, the air thick with the sour smell of decay. Every breath felt rotten.The werewolves didn’t even bother to torture me. That, somehow, was the cruelest part. They brought me food. A roof over my head. A bed that barely passed for comfort in
