Talia felt it first—her firstborn's anger, his rage.

Talia’s eyes snapped to him, green irises sharpening, wolf pushing near the surface. She knew Reign. She knew his temper—or rather, his lack of visible temper. Rage belonged to Luca. Cold calculation belonged to Ash.

Reign was supposed to be the calm center.

This was not calm.

“Reign?” she murmured, barely moving her lips.

He forced his shoulders to unclench. “I’m fine.”

He wasn’t.

Across from him, Lucian settled a heavy hand on the table, not touching his son but grounding the space between them. His power rose, steady as a mountain.

On Lucian’s right, Dorian went utterly still. His gaze followed Reign’s line of sight to the Black River table, to the “servant” behind Sienna, then back to Reign’s face, all in one smooth sweep.

Cassius, on Talia’s left, adjusted in his seat, loosening his shoulders the way a warrior did before stepping into a fight. Alina, sitting next to Cassius, instinctively sent healing calm to her nephew.

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   Inheritance Without Permission

    Sienna POV — WyomingThe cameras went dark all at once.Not a glitch.Not a power failure.A deliberate silence.Every telecam feed across the wall blinked to black—Montana, South Dakota, Obsidian Ridge—cut clean in the same breath. The warded house fell into a hush that felt too intentional to be a coincidence.Celeste felt it before anyone spoke.The frost on the window was his.Not winter.Not Wyoming.Him.Thomas Calder.The cold was pressed to the glass like breath against skin—close enough to feel, not close enough to touch. He hadn’t crossed the wards. He hadn’t needed to.He was listening.Sienna swallowed, her pulse slow but heavy in her throat. Her mother stood beside her, Sera’s presence firm, steady, but held tight in restraint. Sera knew. Of course she did.Mates always knew.Then Celeste’s voice broke the silence through the residual link.“I felt something.”Everyone froze.“Outside the wards,” Celeste continued. “It was… my father. But not the way he used to feel.”Sie

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   What the Window Heard

    “Seraphine killed my mate.” Sera clarified her statement to avoid any confusion, no doubt. They had the same enemy. "She poisoned her, which eventually led to her death." She lowered her voice in memory and sadness, "A very slow and painful death."The words landed as a blade dropped on stone.Silence swallowed the telecam feeds—three states held in a single breath. Even the wards seemed to still, the low hum of protection fading to a near-imperceptible thrum.Sienna moved first.She reached for her mother’s hand and held it, fingers tightening as if the truth itself had weight. Sera didn’t look down, but she let herself be held. For a heartbeat, she leaned—just a fraction—into her daughter’s grip.Across the South Dakota feed, Luca went utterly still.“I’m sorry, Mother,” he said quietly.The word mother rippled through the circle.Talia flinched—not in pain, but in reflex—before she mastered it. Titles mattered. Lines mattered. And yet the truth pressed through all of it: Sera was

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   The Book Beneath the Shelves

    The next day, everyone went to work on their assigned tasks.The air in the Shadowmere tunnels was cool, carrying the scent of earth and centuries of stagnation.The library had been sealed for decades, ever since Thomas had used a chamber near here as a portal entry for a witch. That history hung heavy in the air, a phantom itch that made the fur on the back of one’s neck stand up."Watch your step," Jael murmured, his large hand hovering near the small of Amalia’s back without actually crowding her.Amalia adjusted her shawl, glancing behind them. Two pack warriors trailed a respectful distance away, their eyes scanning the dark corners."Jael," Amalia whispered, amused. "I’m an elite warrior. I think I can handle a dusty library.""You are a warrior," Jael agreed easily, his deep voice echoing slightly off the stone walls. "But you are also carrying my first and only pup. If a spider looks at you the wrong way, I want it dead before you even have to frown at it."Amalia softened, h

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   Blood That Recognizes Blood

    The Graves kitchen was warded, sealed, and too quiet for the kind of meeting they were about to have.Sienna stood at the table, barefoot, one palm braced on the wood like she needed the contact to stay grounded. Her other hand hovered low over her abdomen on instinct.Four weeks.Not visible. Not announced. But her body knew. Her wolf—if she even had one—knew. The world felt sharper, louder, closer to the edge.Sera finished the last ward at the window and didn’t turn around.“No one hears,” she said. “Not unless they’re inside the circle.”Sienna swallowed. “You promised.”“I promised.” Sera finally looked at her, gaze flicking to Sienna’s stomach for the briefest beat. “And I meant it.”On the table, the telecam sat inside a ring of salt and black iron runes—Amalia’s work. The thing looked like a camera until you stared too long and realized it was a door wearing a device’s skin.A chime sounded.The lens flared.Then the kitchen filled with screens.Multiple feeds. Multiple states

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   Containment, Not Trust

    Obsidian RidgeThe portal closed behind Talia with a sharp crack of displaced air.She didn’t linger.Anxiety pressed hard against her ribs as her boots hit stone—Obsidian Ridge familiar beneath her feet, steady, anchored, home. Relief flickered, but it didn’t settle. Not yet.Lucian would listen. She knew that. Her mate was a reasonable man. A steady Alpha. His wolf is even more so.But reason didn’t erase risk.And this plan was nothing but risk braided into hope.Talia exhaled and turned sharply down the corridor.She wished Dorian were already here.Not because Lucian couldn’t handle this, but because Dorian’s presence changed the temperature of the rooms. He steadied conversations simply by existing in them. His wolf didn’t posture. Didn’t rush. He watched. And right now, watching mattered.Because the alternative—the darker possibility clawing at the back of her mind—was unbearable.What if Thomas was setting a trap?What if this binding was another portal like the one that swal

  • The Alpha King's One-Time Rejected Mate   The Moment the Future Shifted

    Sera and Talia did not speak aloud as the silence settled.Talia had come through the portal intending to see her son, but Luca was gone on Beta duties—already carrying responsibilities that had arrived faster than anyone expected. She let that disappointment pass. This visit had never been about sentiment.It was about preparation.And containment, whether anyone liked that word or not.It had been years since Alina and Casius disappeared beyond the veil. The boys had still been toddlers then. Now war loomed again—this time under Seraphine’s shadow—and the truth was unavoidable: they needed every powerful wolf they could reclaim if they were going to survive what was coming. And distance—distance had never protected anyone from monsters. They were all at risk. No one was safe.Talia had come to terms with the fact that survival did not require forgiveness. It required a strategy.Firelight burned low against stone walls worn smooth by centuries of use. This wasn’t a room meant for a
