Xavier crossed over to me, his eyes narrowed to slits as he examined the cloth.

“It looks like they came from within our territory.” He says through clenched teeth.

“Why?”

“We’re too far into Blackridge for nobody to have noticed them. Ferran and his partner probably saw something they weren’t supposed to.”

The implication of what he’s saying landed like a bomb in the space between us. Someone in Blackridge was a traitor. Xavier turned his head to look far east, into the dark where the m

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 31

    Lyra Senna sent for me just before lunch, her message was delivered by a young omega who wouldn't meet my eyes.I found her in the infirmary. The room was clean and smelt heavily like chemicals and dried lavender. Senna stood with her back to me by the window, her fingers moving with terrifying efficiency as she lined up small red bottles on a wooden shelf. Each label bore the same precise handwriting I had come to recognize as hers.“Sit,” she said. She didn't turn around. The clicking of glass against glass filled the room.I obeyed, the legs of the heavy wooden chair scraping loudly against the stone floor as I sat.When she finally turned, she held a narrow glass vial and a curved, silver metal instrument—the same one she had used on me weeks ago. She didn't ask my permission as her fingers wrapped around my wrist, a small shiver ran down my spine. Her skin always felt cold, as if her blood ran a few degrees lower than the rest of our kind.She pressed the metal tip to my finger.

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 30

    LyraI refused to stay in my room, despite everything that had happened.The temptation was real, though. I lay in the dark for a long time after waking up, staring at the shadows on the ceiling, thinking about how easy it would be to pull the heavy blanket over my head and let the morning go on without me.To avoid walking through the packhouse.To not have to feel the suffocating force of people’s attention, or carry the bruising weight of yesterday’s whispers into today.I had done that in Ashveil. I had done it more times than I could count—curling into myself, making my body small, quiet, and absent until whatever was bothering the pack found somewhere else to direct its malice.I was not going to do that here.Fixing my gaze on the sliver of morning light cutting through the window, I forced my feet to the cold floor.******The corridor was already alive when I opened my door. Wolves moved in both directions, with their shoulders brushing past one another.Some carried heavy la

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 29

    LyraThat evening I stood at my window while Blackridge settled into the quiet of the late evening.The sun had gone fully behind the mountains and left the sky the deep blue of the last light before dark. In the courtyard below, the torches had been lit and their flames moved slightly in a wind. I could feel through the glass, faint vibration against my palm.My wolf was still awake and her restlessness washed over me in waves, the warm feeling that had radiated off her now long gone. It felt like she was trying desperately to communicate something important to me but I just couldn’t reach her or figure it out.I leaned closer to the glass.Someone was crossing the courtyard below.The figure walked with unhurried certain strides. It was the gait of a person who knew exactly where they were going and didn’t mind taking their time to get there.Alaric.He stopped at the center of the courtyard and looked up.His unblinking gaze found my window with a directness that told me he had alr

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 28

    LyraI turned around slowly.A handful of wolves still stood around in the open area near the training ground. Broad shouldered, mid-rank by the tags they wore, they had the build that looked like it came from years of training in a strong pack. The one who had spoken — dark haired, arms loose at his sides — was looking directly at me.He didn’t look away.I held his gaze. “Do you have something to say?”It wasn’t a question. The man folded his arms. “I just asked a question.”“You asked a question about me.”His jaw tightened. “Two of our wolves have been killed since you got here.”My fingers curled. The cold morning air felt sharper than it had a moment ago. “And?”“And you’re an outsider.” His tone made it obvious he had thought long and hard before coming to this particular conclusion and had probably also discussed this with others too. “We don’t know where you came from. We don’t know what brought you here. We don’t know—”“I know what you’re implying.” I interjected.“Then you

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 27

    LyraI woke before the sun came up.For several seconds I lay completely still with my eyes open, waiting for the familiar heaviness to settle into my body the way it had every morning since my birthday, that dull persistent weight of everything that had happened pressing down on me before I was fully conscious enough to manage it.It didn’t come though.Instead, i feel a warmth growing in my chest. A brilliant smile graces my lips before I can stop it.My wolf.She is no longer distant. No longer buried under layers of pain and silence and the exhaustion of a bond that had been torn and left to heal without anyone’s help. It had been so long since I woke up feeling this way, I could feel her pressing lightly against the inside of my chest the way she had been since the clearing yesterday, since the shift attempt that had produced claws for three seconds before receding, si

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 26

    Lyra There was nothing romantic in the words he used. They were just flat words spoken by a man who felt a sense of responsibility towards me. He had also spoke so casually like the words didn’t mean anything. Why then did they have such an effect on me?I looked down at my hands.“Thank you,” I said, meekly.He nodded once. Then he stood, brushing the dirt off his trousers in one swift move. “Again,” he said.I groaned. “Already?”“You want to shift. Don’t you?”“I do.”“Then go again.”******By the time we left the clearing my legs were just about ready to give up on me. My wolf was still present inside me, warm and awake, which felt like a victory in its own. The sun had climbed higher while we trained, warming the tops of the canopy and sending longer shafts of light down through the branches.It was beautiful. I walked beside Xavier on the path back toward the pack, rubbing my fingers together and feeling the residual warmth of my attempt to shift faintly in my hands. We we

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 3

    LyraI couldn’t sleep that night.Knowing you’re about to lose your home would do that to you. But that didn’t stop my mind from returning again and again to the grey eyes of a man I do not even know. I think about the way its stare woke my dormant wolf up. I don’t know what it means but it scares

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 2

    LYRAI wake up on the floor of my room and for one brief, merciful moment I don’t remember why. That is of course until it all rushes back to me. My brief happiness and the immense pain that followed. My wolf’s silence and everything else. You don’t know how fortunate you are till misfortune hits.

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 1

    LYRA“Don’t say it.” My voice comes out all wrong. Too small, too exposed and not like I had imagined this moment would be. But then I had never imagined a moment like this. Not exactly like this. Not to me.The Alpha’s hall is warm and full of people. The low buzz of conversations, the smell of f

  • Rejected by the Alpha’s Son    Chapter 4

    LYRAI’m not going to go. Going to meet a potentially— albeit breathtaking— stranger in the woods is crazy. Isn’t it?I battle with my thoughts as I lie awake staring at the ceiling. I use the face and thought of the beautiful stranger to distract myself from constant pain I feel from the severed b
