Draven's POV

Once the referee ended the match, the crowd slowly dispersed. Kaden left, his entourage trailing behind him like dutiful shadows.

I watched him go, then turned my attention toward the rest area where the competitors would be receiving treatment from the pack healers. Ciara's injuries had not appeared serious, but I wanted to see for myself that she was well.

I had taken perhaps three steps when a sharp voice caught my attention from a cluster of people gathered near the eastern ed

  • Rejected by the Alpha Heir, Mated to His Rival Brother   CHAPTER 81

    VALERIUS POVThe silence that followed was absolute.I could feel it. The weight of it. The confusion. The disbelief. The crowd didn't know what to do. They had come to see a choice. They had come to see a Luna crowned. Instead, they got nothing.Then the commotion started."What do you mean, none of them?" A voice from the crowd. A noble. Red-faced. Angry. "This is unprecedented! We traveled for weeks! Our daughters—"The first woman on the dais screamed. "You used us! You did all of that to us and now you say none of us?! I gave you everything! Everything!"The second woman was crying, her voice breaking. "This is insane! You can't just—you made us strip, you made us perform, you made us—and now you say we're nothing?!""We did everything you asked!" The third woman's voice was raw, torn from her throat. "Everything! I let you bite me, I let you claw me, I let you use me in front of everyone—and now you just throw me away?!"The fourth woman was sobbing, her words barely intelligibl

    Ciara's POVI sat in the chair by the window, staring out at the courtyard below. The sky was gray. The trees were bare. Everything looked dead. It matched how I felt inside.I had been outmaneuvered. Thorne had played me like a fool, and I had walked right into his trap. The case was closed. My reputation was destroyed. And no one believed me. Not my father. Not the council. Not a single person in this pack.I stood up. I started pacing. The room felt too small. The walls were closing in. My chest was tight. My hands were shaking. I had never felt so helpless in my entire life.My father. The man who had barely acknowledged my existence for most of my life. He had been Alpha when he got another woman pregnant while Kaden's mother was still Luna. My mother. She had been young. Naive. She had believed him when he said he would protect her. She had believed him when he said he would acknowledge me. She had believed him when he said he loved her.He never did.She died during childbirth,

  • Rejected by the Alpha Heir, Mated to His Rival Brother   CHAPTER 79

    Ciara’s POV I found Serafine in the quarters that had been reserved for her. The room was simple but functional—a narrow bed with a worn woolen blanket, a wooden desk cluttered with papers and open books, and a shelf lined with volumes on bloodlines, pack history, and ancient wolf lore. The air smelled of old parchment, candle wax, and the faint herbal scent she always carried with her. She was sitting at the desk, a quill in her hand, writing something in a leather-bound journal. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting dancing shadows across the walls. She looked up as I entered. Her eyes narrowed immediately, scanning my face with that sharp, assessing gaze she always had. She could read people like no one else I had ever known. "You look like you've been through a war," she said. "Your eyes are red. Your hands are shaking. You look like you haven't slept in days." "Close enough." I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, letting the cool wood press against my ba

  • Rejected by the Alpha Heir, Mated to His Rival Brother   CHAPTER 78

    Ciara's POV I walked out of the Alpha's chambers, and the guards stationed outside straightened immediately. They looked at me with something like respect in their eyes. The one who had gone inside to announce me—the one who had seen my desperation—stepped forward. "Miss Ciara," he said. "Is everything alright?" I took a breath. The cool air of the corridor felt good against my flushed skin. "Yes. Everything is fine. Thank you." He nodded. "We heard... some of it. Through the door." He paused. "You were very insistent." I almost laughed. "I was. I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to cause trouble. I was just... desperate." He shook his head. "No need to apologize. We understand. You were fighting for someone you care about." He paused. "That takes courage." I felt warmth spread through my chest. "Thank you. For letting me in. For giving me a chance." He nodded. "Of course. Good luck, Miss Ciara." I smiled. "Thank you." I walked away, my footsteps echoing against th

  • Rejected by the Alpha Heir, Mated to His Rival Brother   CHAPTER 77

    Ciara's POV He stared at me for a long moment. The firelight flickered across his face, casting deep shadows that made him look older, more tired. I could see the weight of his decision pressing down on him—the burden of being Alpha, of having to choose between his instincts and his duty. Then he nodded slowly. "Alright," he said. "I'll do it. I'll help you." I felt the air leave my lungs. A huge sigh of relief escaped me, and I had to grip the edge of his desk to keep my knees from buckling. My hands were shaking. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. "Thank you," I said. "Thank you so much. You don't know what this means—" "Don't thank me yet." His voice was flat, cutting through my relief. "You still have to find out where Thorne is keeping her. And even if you do, there's no guarantee you'll succeed. Thorne is careful. He's been doing this for years. He's not going to make it easy for you." "I know." I straightened my spine, forcing myself to sta
