Dimitri’s POV

Early morning settles over Blackridge before the sun has fully climbed over the mountains.

I sit behind my desk in my office, surrounded by the same dark wood, the same shelves, the same documents that have occupied this room for years. Outside, the pack is already moving.

I hear it through the walls.

Doors opening. Boots crossing the stone paths. Voices carrying across the courtyard. The kitchen has been awake for hours, and somewhere below, someone is giving order

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 61

    Dimitri's POVThe moment I step into Silverwater territory, a strange feeling washes over me. It settles deep in my chest, leaving me with an uneasiness I cannot explain. Something is wrong. I can sense it in the air, in the unusual tension surrounding the territory, and in the way the wolves I pass seem preoccupied with something they would rather keep to themselves. Under any other circumstances, I would have paid closer attention to my surroundings and tried to identify the source of the discomfort. Right now, however, my thoughts are consumed by one person. Athena. I search for her through the mate bond, hoping to feel even the faintest pull in her direction. I have grown accustomed to sensing her presence, even when we are apart... the same presence that I ignored. The connection has always been there, an invisible thread linking us in ways I have never fully understood. Now, there is almost nothing. I reach for the bond again, searching for a sign of her presence, but the

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 60

    Asher's POVThe doors remain closed.I have been standing outside the room for what feels like hours, though I know it cannot have been that long. Augustus rests against my chest, his head tucked beneath my chin. Hailey stands beside me, occasionally checking on the pup, while Nathaniel remains a short distance away. Every few minutes, someone passes through the corridor, but none of them brings the news I am waiting for.I want to see my sister.The doctors have been working on her since we arrived, and I have no intention of leaving without knowing her condition for myself. I have asked for an update twice. Both times, I have received the same answer. They are doing everything they can.That answer tells me nothing.My gaze remains fixed on the doors. I have seen healers work through injuries that would leave lesser wolves begging for mercy. I know what silver does to our kind, and I know how dangerous it is when a wound takes too much blood from the body. Nathaniel has already told

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 59

    Asher’s POVThe infirmary doors come into view as I approach with Hailey at my side, Augustus resting against my shoulder. The pup has been restless since we left the packhouse, shifting in my arms and making small, uncomfortable sounds. I adjust him against my chest, keeping one hand behind his head while the other supports his back.I should have left him with someone I trust. It would have been the sensible choice, considering what waits for me inside this building. Yet the thought of handing him over to another person has been difficult to entertain, and my wolf is even less willing to consider it. He has made his position clear from the moment I picked Augustus up. The pup stays with us.So he does.Hailey walks close beside me, her attention moving between Augustus and the entrance ahead. She hasn't questioned my decision. She knows better than to mistake my silence for uncertainty, and she understands why I want the child within reach. Whatever happens beyond those doors, Augus

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 58

    Asher's POVMy arms tighten around Augustus before I even realize I am doing it.He sleeps peacefully against my chest, completely unaware of the chaos surrounding him. One tiny hand rests against my shirt while soft breaths brush against my neck. He is so small. So trusting.I cannot let him go.Hailey has offered more than once to hold him, to give my arms a break, but every time I shake my head.I just can't.Right now, he is the closest thing I have to Athena.His scent carries hers. Every time I breathe him in, I catch the familiar traces of my little sister. It hurts more than I can explain, but at the same time, it is the only thing keeping me from feeling completely cut off from her.The moment she disappeared...I felt it.Our connection simply... disappeared.Not because she died.Because she chose to shut me out.I know why.She is still angry that I used my Alpha command on her.The memory twists inside my chest.I have never used Alpha command on her until today.Maybe th

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 57

    Dimitri's POVMy paws skid across the floor as terror tears through me.Terror, a feeling I was hardly familiar with until now.Athena is going down.For one horrifying instant, everything around me disappears from my awareness. I see only her wolf, the silver dagger buried deep in her chest, and the mutt standing over her with satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. Her legs buckle beneath her, and her body crashes against the floor, sending dust into the air.No.The word tears through my mind with such force that a thunderous howl erupts from me.My growl echoes through the room, loud enough to shake the air around us.The mutt turns toward me, but the sight of an approaching wolf barely interrupts his satisfaction. He lunges at Athena, his hand transforming into a claw as he reaches for her throat. His intention is clear. He wants to finish what he has started, to tear open her jugular while she lies helpless at his feet.He will never touch her again. No one will ever touch her again.

  • Rejecting My Alpha   Chapter 56

    Dimitri's POVAsher arrives with several warriors, Reese among them. The moment he sees the Augustus in my arms, his expression changes. His eyes move over Augustus's face, taking in every detail as though he needs to reassure himself that his nephew has truly been returned to us. "Augustus," he murmurs. He shifts against my chest, making a small sound before settling again. Asher reaches out, brushing a finger gently over his cheek. There is such tenderness in the gesture that something in my chest tightens. "Give him to me," he says quietly. For a moment, I hesitate. Augustus is tucked against me. I can feel his warmth through the fabric, and his familiar scent fills my senses. I have only just gotten him back. Every part of me wants to keep him close enough that nothing can take him away again. But I look at Asher, and I know I can trust him. I carefully transfer Augustus into his arms, watching as Asher adjusts his hold to support him. He draws Augustus against his chest a
