Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice Chapter 35
Zander's POV The moon was high, silver light spilling across the forest like a blessing I didn’t feel worthy to claim tonight. From my office window, I could see the treeline, the place where the wards shimmered faintly against the dark. We’d kept the pack safe for decades—through wars, through famine, through the gods’ trials themselves.But I wasn’t sure we were ready for this.My daughter’s mate. Tyron.A man with blood on his hands, a history written in violence, and a wolf that didn’t know the meaning of submission. A man I should have had executed the moment they dragged him into my territory in chains.And yet… the bond had chosen him for Winter.I hated the mate bond sometimes. It could be the gods’ gift or their cruelest joke, depending on the day. And this? This felt like a test I never asked for.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing a hand over my face. The wolf in me snarled every time Tyron’s name passed through my thoughts. Not because I feared him—but because I feared wh

Tyron's They moved me to a different cell three days ago.Bigger. Cleaner. A cot that didn’t smell like damp rot. Even a shower, though the water pressure was about as forgiving as a weak rainstorm. Clothes, too—dark sweats and a plain shirt. It was a calculated kindness, which meant it was a warning in disguise. People like Zander didn’t do favors without sharpening the knife first.I wasn’t stupid. They weren’t giving me comfort out of pity. They were softening me up for something.Still, I took every scrap they offered. Ate every meal. Let the guards see me quiet, cooperative. They needed to believe the fight was bleeding out of me.But I didn’t lose the fight. I banked it.And now, sitting on the cot with my elbows on my knees, I felt the thin thread of the mate bond tug—hard. My head snapped up. The air changed, electric and sharp.She was close.The sound of footsteps on stone grew louder. A second later, she appeared. Winter.Her hair caught the dim light like it was spun o

Winter The morning light spilling through my bedroom curtains felt wrong.Too bright. Too warm. My wolf paced in my head like a caged predator, claws raking against bone. She’d been restless all night, even after I’d finally drifted into an uneasy sleep. Every time my mind dipped toward dreams, she shoved me awake, snarling his name.Tyron.I sat up slowly, pressing my palms to my eyes until stars danced in the darkness. My chest ached—not just from the bond’s pull, but from the memory of his face last night. Even as an astral projection, I’d seen the shadows in his eyes. The weariness. And yet, the way he’d looked at me… like I was the only thing tethering him to this world.I couldn’t stay away anymore.By the time I found Dad, he was in his office, flipping through reports with that unreadable mask he wore so well. Aria was perched on the arm of a chair across from him, idly braiding her hair, clearly waiting for something.The second Dad saw me in the doorway, his jaw tightened.

The clank of the cell door echoed different this time. Not final. Not cruel. Almost… indifferent.I didn’t lift my head when the footsteps stopped in front of me. I’d learned not to. They came with kicks, or questions, or trays I couldn’t reach. But this time, there was no boot. No barked demand. Just the soft clatter of keys, and a low grunt.“Stand, rogue.”I opened one eye. A young guard, twitchy, clearly not thrilled to be here, was fumbling with the chain at my ankle. He wouldn’t look me in the eye.“We’re moving you,” he muttered. “Orders from the Alpha.”I snorted. “Mercy or strategy?”He didn’t answer.But when the chain was loosened and I stood, I realized my legs didn’t buckle the way I expected. Weak, yes. But not broken. Not today.They walked me—flanked, still shackled—down a long corridor that didn’t stink of damp and blood. The air grew less sour. I could smell pine somewhere, and firewood. Even herbs. And something else, too faint to name but too specific to ignore.Ma

Late afternoon light spilled across the wooden floors like melting gold. I stood at the threshold of my bedroom door for the first time in a week. The silence beyond it was loud. Almost judgmental. My fingers gripped the doorknob, my knuckles pale from the pressure, and for a moment I considered slamming it shut again. Let them think I was still angry enough to stay caged.But that would be easy.And I wasn’t about to give them the satisfaction.I stepped out.The warm scent of herbs, pinewood, and baked something greeted me like a memory I hadn’t asked for. My legs felt heavier than they should’ve. I didn’t remember feeling this drained when I was locked up—but freedom had its own weight, I guess.At the bottom of the stairs, Mom stood waiting, arms crossed but her posture… softer than usual. She didn’t smile. She didn’t need to. It was all in her eyes. That quiet storm of someone who fought for you behind closed doors.“Don’t push it today,” she said, her voice barely a murmur. “Pic

Tyron's POV The sting’s still there.Not sharp anymore—more like a ghost of pain gnawing behind my ribs, quiet, patient, waiting to remind me it’s not finished with me yet.Wolfsbane never really leaves you. Not all at once. It lingers in the blood, curls into the bone. You can feel it even when you can’t feel anything else. But for the first time in days—weeks, maybe—I’m not suffocating in it.I lie still on the cold dungeon floor, chains slack around my wrists. My head’s heavy against the stone. But something’s shifted. Not in my body. In my mind.It’s clearer now.Like someone’s scrubbed the grime off the inside of my skull. Like I can finally think without dragging my brain through fog and fire.Her magic did that.Winter.She knelt beside me yesterday. Whispered words like incantations, soft and sharp, and placed her glowing hand over the wound in my side. She pulled the wolfsbane out like it offended her.And when she looked at me…Gods.When she looked at me, I almost forgot w
