THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 42
Ariana's POVThe doors to the central hall were taller than I remembered.I had walked through them a hundred times before I ever left for Silvercrest, back when they were simply the doors to a room where my father conducted business I did not yet understand. Standing before them now, dressed in royal silver instead of the plain fabric I had worn for a year, they felt like the entrance to something I had never actually faced.My mother adjusted the fall of my sleeve one final time, her fingers steady despite the tension I could feel radiating from her. "You look every bit the princess you are," she said quietly."I don't feel like her," I admitted."You will," she said. "The moment matters less than you think. What matters is what comes after."My father said nothing, his attention fixed on the doors ahead, his composure absolute in the way it always was before something significant. I had inherited that stillness from him, though I had spent a year in Silvercrest discovering it could
THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 41
Ariana's POVI found him standing at the window when I finally worked up the nerve to knock.The door had been left slightly open, as though he already expected someone. I told myself that meant nothing. But when I stepped inside and he turned to face me, the look in his eyes told me otherwise.He had already guessed."You arranged this room," he said. Not a question.I closed the door quietly behind me. "I did.""Why?""Because I needed you to notice something was different," I said, "before you heard it from anyone else."His jaw tightened slightly, and for a moment neither of us spoke. The silence between us had always been comfortable before, a shared space rather than a gap. This one felt charged, like the air before a storm breaks."Two weeks," he said finally, his voice low. "I told myself there had to be a reason. That something was keeping you from writing, not someone choosing not to.""You were right," I said quietly. "It wasn't a choice to hurt you. It was a choice I made
THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 40
Adrian’s POVThe journey to the royal pack had been long enough to give me time to think, and that alone made it more difficult than it should have been. Normally, I would have used the hours to focus on strategy, on preparation, and on the kind of presence I needed to carry into something as important as leadership training. This was not just another gathering. It was a place where strength was measured in more than physical ability, and where every decision, every word, and every reaction would be noticed.This time, my thoughts did not stay where they were supposed to.They kept returning to Ariana.I had not heard from her in any real way since she left, and the silence had settled into something I could no longer ignore. It was not the kind of distance that came from being busy or distracted. It felt deliberate, though I could not understand why she would choose that. The more I thought about it, the less sense it made, and that only added to the tension I carried with me as we
THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 39
Ariana POVThe palace had been awake long before I stepped out of my room.By the time I made my way through the corridor, the usual calm atmosphere had already been replaced with movement and quiet urgency. Servants walked quickly but carefully, guards stood more alert than usual, and every corner of the royal pack carried the same energy.Preparation.The leadership training had officially begun.I slowed my steps as I reached the main hall, taking in the sight before me. Everything had been arranged with precision. Banners from different packs had been placed along the walls, each one representing a group that would soon walk through these doors. The space felt larger than usual, not because it had changed, but because of what it was about to hold.Leaders.Future Alphas.People who carried responsibility in ways that were not always visible.And somewhere among them… Adrian.The thought settled quietly in my chest, bringing with it a mix of anticipation and unease. I had spent the
THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 38
Leah’s POVI had tried to ignore it at first, but the feeling refused to go away.Ariana had been gone for two weeks, and nothing about her silence felt normal. I kept telling myself she was just settling back into her life, adjusting to whatever responsibilities she had left behind before coming to Silvercrest. That explanation made sense in theory, but the longer it went on, the less I believed it.I stood near the edge of the training field, watching a group of students go through their drills. Their movements were steady, though not perfect, and I knew I should be paying attention. Instead, my focus kept slipping, pulled back to the same thought I had been trying to avoid.Ariana would not just disappear like this.“You’ve been staring at the same spot for a while.”Ethan’s voice came from beside me, calm and familiar. I did not turn immediately, but I knew he was watching me, waiting for me to admit what was already obvious.“I’m watching the drills,” I said, though even to me it
THE PRINCESS THE ALPHA REJECTED CHAPTER 37
Adrian’s POVSomething about the silence had gone on too long to ignore.At first, I allowed it. Ariana had returned to her pack, and I understood that her life there would not be simple. She had responsibilities, people who depended on her, and a past she had never fully explained. I respected that, and I gave her the space she needed.But space was not supposed to feel like this.I stood at the Riverline training grounds, watching as a group of younger wolves went through their drills under instruction. Their movements were sharp, though not perfect, and I found myself correcting them without thinking, my voice steady as I pointed out flaws in their form. Normally, I would have been fully focused, but today my attention kept slipping.No matter what I did, my thoughts returned to her.It had been two weeks since Ariana left, and in all that time, I had not heard from her in any real way. There were no proper messages, no conversations, and nothing that reflected the bond we had buil

Ariana’s POVSilvercrest woke up differently after the incident.I noticed it the moment I stepped outside the next morning. The pack grounds were the same—warriors training, omegas moving between tasks, the scent of earth and steel lingering in the air—but something beneath the routine had shifted

Ariana’s POVSchool resumed the way it always did in Silvercrest—without ceremony, without softness, without regard for what the week before had shifted beneath the surface.The morning bell rang sharp and loud, echoing through the halls as students poured back into the building, laughter and voice

Ariana’s POVThe change did not arrive with fanfare or confrontation. There were no raised voices, no dramatic announcements, no moment where everyone suddenly turned to look at me with awe. Silvercrest did not work that way. This pack did not shift its opinions quickly or kindly.Instead, the chan

Adrian’s POVI had always believed the mate bond would feel like certainty.Not the loud kind—the kind that swept men off their feet and turned them reckless—but a quiet, grounding force. Something steady. Something that aligned with reason as much as instinct. As the future Alpha of Riverline Pack
