Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha Chapter 39
Serena’s POV The courtyard was quiet that night. The sky was clear, and the moon hung low, glowing over the tall trees around the estate. I stood near the fountain, hugging myself, trying to keep my thoughts from tearing me apart. I didn’t want to cry again. Not after today. Not after everything I heard in that meeting room. They had talked like I didn’t matter. Like Ari didn’t matter. Mirah’s voice still echoed in my head: “I’m pregnant.” Those words hit harder than I thought they would. Not because I wanted Kael back. But because I finally saw her for who she really was someone who knew how to play this game, who could pretend to be kind while planning something else underneath. The meeting had been awful. The elders called my son a threat to tradition. Said he could never be heir. Said I had no place here. It was clear someone had planted this meeting. And I had a pretty good guess who. I took a slow breath and let it out. My hands were cold. My chest hurt. I just wan

Kael pushed the study door open and stepped inside. The early light was dim. Papers lay on the desk. Silence filled the room. Mirah sat behind the desk, calm. She looked at him without rising. He pulled the door shut. The click sounded loud. He stood there a moment, gathering his thought. Finally, he said, “Mirah. We need to talk.” Mirah lifted her eyebrow. She did not look surprised. “Very well then , I have been expecting this conversation “ He stepped closer. He spoke in a low voice, firm. “your announcement at the council meeting. You did not tell me first and I want to know why” Mirah did not flinch. She folded her hands. “You are my husband. I did not think it necessary.” Kael’s voice grew sharper. “You just said I am your husband and bonded mate. I should have known before anyone else.” Mirah’s eyes held his. “I did not believe you were ready. You were distracted.” “Distracted? With what? Kael flinched “Distracted with attending to your son and hi

Serena’s POV A month had passed since Mirah’s surprise riding invitation. For weeks after, we lived quietly no drama, no whispered rumors that came to me. Ari laughed, ran, played in the estate courtyard. Kael came to him, and I let myself breathe. I believed, for a while, that Mirah had stepped back. That maybe she had changed. Or her power had cooled a bit. But peace can be fragile. This morning, I woke to a summons: a pack meeting. Official—you were invited, it said. My stomach dropped. I hadn’t been invited to a council meeting before. Not for anything but a crisis involving my son. The moment I held the sheet of paper in my hand, I knew they were ready to move. I sat at the little table in our apartment, sunlight just beginning to filter through with indifferent hope. I stared at the page as the world around me stayed quiet and still. How quick they were to call this meeting. How delicate they’d made it look. How urgent. And how, of course, it would happen here, in

Serena’s POV That night, after Ari’s bedtime story, I stood beside his small bed and tucked the blanket around his shoulders. The lamp cast a soft glow across his face, warm and innocent. He looked up with sleepy eyes and smiled. “Goodnight, Mama.” “Goodnight, love,” I whispered, brushing hair from his forehead. He held Lio tight—the stuffed wolf that never left his side. I paused, fingers hovering in the lamp’s light. “May I ask you something?” He blinked slowly, curiosity still there. Even when tired, his eyes stayed bright. “Why did you call Mirah ‘Mommy’ yesterday?” He shook his head a bit, confused. “Mommy?” “Yes. Don’t you remember?” He closed his eyes, thinking. Then opened them. “She said I could call her that too. Because she asked if being nice like a Mommy made her a Mommy too.” My breath hitched. It sounded so ordinary. So pointless. But my heart hammered like a warning bell. “Okay,” I said, calmer than I felt. “But you only have one Mommy. An

Serena’s POV “Can we talk?” Her voice was soft, not the tone I expected. I didn’t answer right away. I was still staring at the open door, unsure if I’d imagined her standing there, dressed simply, her hair pinned back, no guards in sight. Mirah looked like she’d rehearsed this moment ten times and still wasn’t sure how to play it. I stepped aside without a word. She walked in. My mother rose from the couch the moment she saw her, every line in her face tight. I felt the tension coil in my shoulders too, but I kept my voice steady. “What do you want?” Mirah didn’t sit. She stood in the middle of the room, as if she knew she didn’t quite belong. “I’m not here to fight,” she said. “I came to… apologize.” I raised a brow. I didn’t say anything. Neither did Ma. Mirah clasped her hands in front of her, her gaze flicking briefly to the window, as if searching for a way to escape the discomfort she’d willingly walked into. “I was wrong. About you. About Ari,” she continue

Serena POV It started with a wrong turn. The corridor was quiet too quiet for a mansion that never slept. I was on my way to get Ari’s medicine from the clinic wing, walking fast, hugging the file to my chest, when I heard them. Voices. Low and serious. I paused at the arched doorway just before the council room. The door wasn’t shut all the way. It stood ajar, light spilling out into the hallway. Then I heard it. “…the boy can’t inherit the title. He’s half-blood. It’s law.” My heart stopped. I didn’t mean to stay. I didn’t mean to listen. But once Ari’s name was spoken, I was frozen there, feet locked to the marble. “He’s in the public eye now,” came another voice—deeper, older. “You all saw the party. You saw the attention.” “That was a mistake,” someone else snapped. “A calculated one. The Alpha is trying to sneak legitimacy in through sentiment. But lineage doesn’t bend for emotion.” There was a short silence. Then: “He’s not pure. His mother is human. The
