“Luna, you need to see something.”

The voice came through the door before I could even answer. I turned, startled, my heart thudding again. Kael was still asleep behind me. His breathing was steady, his face calm, too calm.

The door opened, and one of the guards stepped in, his face pale. “Please, Luna. It’s urgent.”

I didn’t ask questions. I just nodded and followed him out. My legs felt heavy, like the floor was holding me back. The hallway smelled faintly of smoke and burnt oil — the fire’s scent still clinging to the air no matter how many windows they opened.

He led me through the back corridor, past the kitchen, then down toward the storage area. It was quieter here. The kind of quiet that made every step sound wrong.

“Where are we going?” I asked finally.

He hesitated. “The electric board, Luna. The one that runs power through the eastern wing. We found something.”

The words made my stomach tighten. The eastern wing — where the fire had started.

  • Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 95

    Serena I woke to a sound that tore through the night, a metallic crash that made my heart lurch. My eyes snapped open before I even had a chance to register what had happened. For a long, disoriented moment, I couldn’t place where I was, only that something was wrong. The quiet of Kael’s chamber, the steady rhythm of his breathing it had been my anchor, and now it felt fragile. Someone was knocking too hard on the door. It wasn’t polite it sounded like panic turned into rhythm. For a second, I didn’t know where I was or why my heart was already racing before I even opened my eyes. I sat up so fast my heart slammed against my ribs. For a second I didn’t know where I was. Then I saw Kael, still lying motionless on the bed, the faint rhythm of the monitors steady beside him. The noise came again, followed by a voice that sounded unsure if it should speak louder. “Luna, you need to come. Please, you need to come now.” My hands were already moving before my mind caught up. I pull

  • Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 94

    Serena The healer had left an hour ago, saying his wolf was “still fighting.” That word fighting was the only thing holding me together. He looked nothing like the man I knew. His skin was pale, his arm wrapped in thick white bandages, half his body covered with burns. Even the scent of antiseptic couldn’t hide the faint smell of smoke that clung to him. I brushed his hair back from his forehead. “You said you’d always come back to me,” I whispered. “You don’t get to stop now.” He didn’t move. Not a twitch. Not a sound. “I don’t even know what to do anymore,” I said quietly. “People are already whispering. The elders want meetings. Everyone wants answers. And I…” my voice cracked I’m just trying to keep it together, Kael.” A soft sound escaped me, half laugh, half sob. “You’d probably tell me to calm down, right? That I’m overthinking everything.” The silence pressed harder. I looked down at our hands. My fingers were small against his, but I held on anyway. “Ari misse

    Serena I don’t understand what’s happening to me. The moment I walked away from Mirah, I couldn’t breathe right. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, and the inside of my chest felt too tight, too full, like something was pressing against it from within. I locked myself in my room and stood in front of the mirror, waiting for the feeling to fade, but it didn’t. It only grew heavier. My reflection looked normal same face, same eyes—but it didn’t feel like me. Why did I feel that way when I saw her? Why did my skin burn, my teeth ache, and my heartbeat go wild like I wanted to tear her apart? Could it be my witch powers again? No. That was something else entirely. I’ve felt that before cold, sharp, focused. This was different. This felt alive. It wasn’t magic. It wasn’t calm . It was wild. It was angry. It was heat and sound and instinct. Is my wolf rising? No. No, that can’t be. My mother’s wolf never bloomed. She was weak, her bloodline thin, and she lived her whole life ba

    Serena “A gathering?” I asked, standing. She nodded quickly. “The elders. Some of the pack. They’re saying it’s time to make a decision.” A decision. My heart tightened. “What kind of decision?” She didn’t answer right away. That was enough of an answer. I glanced back at Kael. His hand lay open on the sheet, still and quiet. I wanted to stay there, to keep holding him, but I knew what waited outside. If I didn’t go now, someone else would speak in his place and once that happened, it would be too late. I walked out. The courtyard was full. Wolves, guards, elders, servants faces I’d seen for years, some pretending to be loyal, others never hiding their doubt. Elder Alric’s seat was empty. Good. He had left with Mirah, and I hoped he never returned. But the rest of them were here. Elder Faren, who always stood too close when he spoke. Elder Maren, who changed her opinions with the wind. And the younger ones, whispering among themselves like flies around a wound. I s

  • Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 90

    Serena Kael was lying there, completely still, and I couldn’t tell if he was sleeping or if he had gone beyond that, if he had slipped into something worse, something that no one could fix with a hand on a shoulder or a whispered word, because every tiny sound he made, every uneven, shallow, broken breath, reminded me of how close he had come to being gone, how fragile he had been when he had emerged from that fire, carrying our son in his arms as if the flames themselves could not touch him, and yet the heat, the smoke, the blistering, burning walls had left their mark in ways that I could not undo, and I realized with a sharp, twisting panic that even though he was still breathing, even though he was still here, he was no longer the same untouchable, invincible man I had relied on for everything. My heart pounded so hard I thought it would shatter my ribs. Every beat echoed in my head, thudding and hammering, a constant reminder of how little control I had in that moment, how he
