Ember Frost's POV

After 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 her into his arms. He hugged her gently while she kept crying hard, and he comforted her with patience, rubbing her back softly.

Slowly the lady’s tears quieted to soft sniffles, her shoulders easing under the warm light of the chamber’s lanterns. The man turned to me, his eyes steady but bright with unspoken hope. From his coat pocket, he pulled out a folded document. With a trembling hand he held it out with a gentle nod. "My dear, I know all this is hard for you to believe, but everything you've been told is true. We tested your blood at four different hospitals, and every result sings the same song—you’re our daughter, the one we’ve mourned since you were taken."

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   A Reckless Heart

    Ember Frost’s POVAfter a while Eira said, “I think I’ll side with Orion this time,” Eira said at last. “You need to go back to the palace. Let them examine you, test what’s happening inside your body, and figure out how to stop the backlash. I refuse to watch my best friend lose her mind. And if you end up like Seraphina, locked in a quiet room and losing touch with reality, I won’t come see you.”I groaned softly. “That’s harsh. What if some overconfident doctor decides my brain needs trimming and goes straight for my frontal lobe?”Her expression darkened instead of softening. “I’m serious. That hemlock tree’s owner is clearly some loose-minded demon. And now look at you—you’ve caught the same bad habits.”I straightened up immediately, realizing joking wasn’t helping my case.“I’m not saying no,” I replied after a pause. “But what about your eyes?”Eira shrugged, her tone calm to the point of indifference. “Staying here won’t magically fix them. If there were an easy answer, Medin

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Fault Lines

    Ember Frost’s POV“I can’t go back like this,” I said, shaking my head. “Eira’s condition is still unstable, and we don’t have answers. Returning now would make everything we did meaningless.”A spark of irritation flared inside me, sudden and fierce. Why did Orion feel the need to control everything? He wasn’t my parent. He wasn’t my master. What gave him the right to decide whether I stayed or went?Who was he to decide such matters for me?I knew he cared. I knew that. And I cared about him too. But I cared about Eira just as much. She hadn’t ended up like this on her own. I was part of the reason she’s in this nightmare, teetering on the verge of eternal damnation. Walking away felt like betrayal.“Stop telling me what to do!” I snapped, shoving him back. My voice trembled with anger. “Remember your place, Orion! You’re my subordinate, not my father! You have no right to decide for me. I don’t have to obey, and you don’t get to choose whether I stay or leave!”The room went dead s

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Almost Lost

    Ember Frost’s POVHer explanation matched what little I could still remember, almost too closely. That alone made me feel relieved. At least my head was clear now, clear enough to feel fear at what I might’ve become back then. If greed and hunger had fully swallowed me, if I’d lost myself for just a little longer… I don’t even want to think about it. If I had harmed one of my own, I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself.“When the mark reacted, I knew right away that something was wrong,” Orion said quietly, his voice heavy. “I gathered people and rushed over. On the way, we ran into a group carrying Lilian back, unconscious.” His jaw tightened. “I was furious. Ember, you knew how dangerous that path was. How could you walk straight into it with so few people?”“I know. I feel awful about it,” I said quietly. “But we still hadn’t found him. I was scared something would happen if we waited.”He stared at me, clearly trying to hold onto his anger. But when my eyes met his, guilty,

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Wolf Inside

    Ember Frost’s POVMy chest ached with guilt all at once, strong and sudden. If there were a prize for being irresponsible, I would’ve taken it without question. I’d shoved the newly awakened “wolf child” to the back of my mind and left it there. I never meant to, but intentions didn’t change the outcome. The damage was already done.“I’m sorry,” I said quietly, and I meant every word. “I shouldn’t have ignored you for so long. Months, even. I promise I’ll be more careful from now on. I won’t let myself get caught by something like that again. The werewolf elders should know how to help me build some kind of mental barrier.”“Do you really think so?” Juniper’s voice sounded tired, almost resigned.“What do you mean?”“I mean… you don’t know who placed the mind-blocking curse on you, do you?”“…Do you?” I asked.There was a pause before she answered, followed by a soft sigh. “Alright. Then listen carefully. You might not like this. Ember… you were the one who cursed yourself.”I froze.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Still Me

    Ember Frost’s POVI rested inside the shell, stiff and icy, my body drawn inward like an unborn child sheltered in darkness. There was no fear left in me, only stillness. My heartbeat was slow and steady, my breathing shallow and even. If someone had seen my face, they would have found no pain there, only peace.Tiny flecks of silver light leaked from my body. They’d done what they were meant to do. I watched as they faded, one by one, until there was nothing left, just the quiet stillness around me.But I wasn’t ready. I refused to let them go.Why should something so kind, so gentle, vanish after walking me through the dark?At my silent insistence, the lights settled back down. Sinking into my muscles and weaving through me. They no longer resembled the purification runes I had known; they had become delicate sparks, poised to take flight. Their glow shone in silver and red veins of light, hidden deep within my blood, becoming part of me.Only then did the ache inside me ease.Exha

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Ashes of Rebirth

    Ember Frost’s POVMy chest thudded so hard it felt like it might tear itself open. Heat rushed through my veins, wild and uncontrollable, scraping against my skin from the inside. It wasn’t just heat; it was torture. My body felt like it had been dragged too close to fire, and the pain ripped a cry out of me before I could stop it. For a terrifying moment, I thought I might actually burn alive.The purification runes went mad.It flashed and dimmed, surged and faded, driven by a rhythm that didn’t belong to me. Its strength rose and fell in uneven waves, as though it were breathing, alive, struggling, locked in a silent battle beneath my skin.I couldn’t breathe no matter how hard I tried. My body felt strange, like it was swelling past what it could hold, everything inside me grinding and sliding out of place. The runes twisted into an ugly shape, its lines breaking apart, splitting, and warping as if it was being torn from the inside. I could feel it straining, pushed beyond what it
