Rejected by the Prince, Claimed by the Alpha Chapter 31
“You’re dismissed.”The three Blackwater messengers practically fled after that.The front doors shut heavily behind them, leaving silence hanging through the entrance hall.Elara could still hear the words echoing in her head.Wolves whose bonds changed sacred law.A cold unease settled beneath her ribs.Darius stood motionless near the doors, broad shoulders rigid with thought. Beside him, Sella suddenly looked older.Worried.

Elara dreamed of fire.Not destruction.Recognition.Silver flames spiraled through darkness, bending toward her the same way the courtyard torches had. Only this time, no wolves were watching. No whispers. No humiliation clawing at her skin.Just warmth.And a voice she could not fully hear.Not words.Something older than words.Something calling.She woke sharply before dawn.

The ride back to Nightfall was silent. Not tense or uncomfortable. Just heavy.Elara sat beside Darius in the back of the black SUV while moonlight flashed across the windows in silver streaks. Her hands remained clenched tightly in her lap, though she barely noticed anymore.The warmth beneath her skin had not faded.Every few minutes, she swore she could still feel the pull of those flames, answering her.Across from them, two of Darius’s wolves kept respectfully quiet, though she caught them glancing at her more than once. Not fearful exactly.Wary.Curious.No one had ever looked at her like that before.Darius finally broke the silence.“Are you hurt?”The question startled her.She looked over at him. “No.”“You’re shaking.”Elara looked down. He was right. Small tremors moved through her fingers. Not from fear.At least… not entirely.“I don’t understand what happened,” she admitted quietly.Darius studied her for a long moment before answering.“That makes two of us.”But his

The courtyard did not breathe.Hundreds of wolves stood frozen beneath the silver wash of moonlight while every torch along the stone walls leaned toward Elara as though pulled by an invisible tide.Not flickering.Not bending from the wind.Answering.Elara could feel it.A strange pulse moved beneath her ribs, deep and slow, like something ancient turning in its sleep. Heat brushed along her skin despite the cold night air, and for one impossible second, the flames felt alive.Watching her.The priest staggered backward first.His ceremonial robes scraped against the stone as he stared at the torches with naked panic. “Hold the line,” he snapped at the attendants nearest him. “Relight them properly.”No one moved.Because the flames were already lit.And still bent toward her.Whispers exploded through the crowd.“What is happening—”“The Goddess—”“That’s impossible—”“Elara—”Lyria’s face had gone white beneath her carefully painted composure. Her humiliation rolled off her in wav

At Moonrise, Elara chose to go. The decision surprised her even after she made it.Part of her wanted to stay in Darius’s house, behind the door he had promised no one would open without permission. Part of her wanted to curl beneath the heavy blankets and pretend Blackwater no longer existed, that Kael’s rejection, Lyria’s rise, and Cassian’s coming humiliation belonged to a life she had already left behind.But Kael wanted her to know. That was why the message had come.Not because Darius’s attendance mattered, though it did. Not because Blackwater needed another powerful Alpha watching the ceremony, though they clearly wanted his presence to make the decision look legitimate.Kael wanted the news carried to her like a blade.Elara was tired of bleeding from rooms she had not entered.So when Darius asked again, she said yes.Now she stood beside him at the edge of Blackwater’s ceremonial courtyard, the moon already rising above the stone archways, silver light spilling over a gathe

The message from Blackwater followed Elara back into the house. Not in words, in weight.Lyria would reject Cassian before nightfall. Kael would announce her as his intended Luna.The pack would cheer because power had given them a new story to believe, and everyone would pretend the Goddess’s choice had only mattered until the prince chose differently.Elara sat near the fire in the smaller room off Darius’s entryway, hands folded around a cup of tea she had not touched. The warmth seeped into her palms, but the rest of her stayed cold.Across the room, Darius stood beside the window with one hand resting at his side and the other holding a folded message slip. He had read it twice. Not because he did not understand it the first time, Elara thought, but because men like him made sure anger did not move faster than thought.Sella stood near the doorway, her expression calm, though there was a tightness around her mouth that had not been there before.“Will it hurt him?” Elara asked.H
