DEUS POV

My father didn't knock.

He never knocked when something was serious enough to matter, and the moment I saw him standing in my doorway holding a single folded piece of paper like it was already evidence prepared for some kind of trial, I knew immediately that whatever conversation was about to happen wasn't going to be a pleasant one.

"Close your laptop," he said, his voice flat in a way that told me arguing wouldn't get me anywhere.

I closed it slowly, watching him cross the room and s

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 43 A public Letter

    DEUS POVThe letter was waiting on my desk when I got back from practice, sealed with the same wax stamp my father used for anything he considered too important to trust to a casual conversation, which told me immediately that he no longer believed I would take a spoken warning seriously enough to act on it.I stood there for a long moment before actually picking it up, some part of me already dreading whatever was written inside, though nothing could have fully prepared me for exactly how far he was willing to take this.I broke the seal and unfolded the paper slowly, my eyes scanning the tight, controlled handwriting that had always made his letters feel more like legal documents than anything resembling a message from a parent to his own son.He wanted me to publicly recommit to Veronica at the Moonrise Festival, in front of both families, in front of the entire pack gathered for the celebration, with no room left for exceptions or quiet withdrawal afterward.He wanted a formal ann

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 41 The Negotiation

    Tatiana’s POVI paced the hallway outside the conference room for what felt like an hour, though it was probably closer to twenty minutes, my mind spinning through every worst-case scenario I could imagine while Carlos stood beside me, arms crossed, jaw tight, both of us staring uselessly at a door that refused to open.Eventually Mrs. Veriland found us there too, drawn by some staff member who must have told her where the meeting was taking place, and the three of us formed an awkward, silent little cluster in that hallway, none of us speaking, none of us quite able to look at each other for very long.When the door finally opened, it wasn't Carlos's father who came out first. It was one of the academy officials, the same woman who had shown up with the withdrawal paperwork earlier, and she looked considerably less composed than she had before, her expression somewhere between flustered and relieved that the meeting was over."We'll be in touch regarding the paperwork," she said quic

    CARLOS POVI heard the word before I heard her name."Withdrawal," One of the administrators said to another, passing me in the hallway without even slowing down, papers tucked under her arm. "Effective immediately, apparently. Shame, really. Bright girl."I froze.There was only one girl in this academy anyone would call bright and mean it as a warning sign instead of a compliment.I didn't even think. I just turned and followed the administrator down the hall, my heart already pounding in a way that had nothing to do with exercise."Excuse me," I said, catching up to her. "Withdrawal? Who are you talking about?"She glanced at me, clearly recognizing my last name from the way her posture straightened slightly."I'm not really at liberty to discuss student matters," she said carefully."Was it Tatiana Veriland?" I pressed, ignoring the warning in her tone completely.Her silence was answer enough.I didn't wait for anything else. I turned and started walking fast, then faster, cuttin

    TATIANA'S POVI stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned back around."I'm not leaving," I said, and my voice came out steadier than I actually felt, steadier than my shaking hands would have suggested to anyone watching closely.Mrs. Veriland was still standing where I left her, one hand pressed against her chest like she was trying to hold herself together from falling."Tatiana—""I'm not leaving," I repeated, walking back toward her. "Not now not like this, not because some family decided I was inconvenient and paid you enough to make me disappear just like that.""It's not that simple anymore," she said quietly."Make it simple for me," I said. "Because from where I'm standing, it seems very simple. You said no money so problem solved.""You don't understand how these things work," she said, wringing her hands together. "It's already done.""What do you mean it's already done?" I demanded. "You just told me you signed something. Papers can be torn up and deals can be broke

  • Rejected by the Alphas Claimed by the King    Chapter 38 Thirty pieces of silver

    TATIANA'S POVI almost didn't recognize her.Mrs. Veriland was standing in the academy's visitor hall, hands twisted together in front of her, wearing a coat I had never seen before. Thick wool, a deep navy color, the kind of coat that cost more than everything else in her closet combined.She didn't look up when I walked in."Mrs. Veriland?" I said, my voice coming out smaller than I meant it to.She flinched slightly at my voice, finally lifting her eyes to meet mine, but only for a second before they dropped back to the floor.That alone told me something was wrong.She had never once looked away from me, not when I cried after my first week of bullying at this academy. Not when I called her sobbing after Draven's public humiliation. She always looked me straight in the eye, no matter how hard the conversation was."Tatiana," she said finally, her voice tight. "Sit down, please."I sat, slowly, my stomach already twisting with a dread I couldn't name yet."What's wrong," I asked. "
