I storm into my quarters, slamming the door hard enough to rattle the ancient wood. My blood boils at my father's latest demand. He can't be fucking serious.
"Oh, but he is," my wolf rumbles, smug satisfaction dripping from every word. "And I agree with him completely. Audrey should move into our quarters. The sooner, the better."
If I could manifest this bastard part of myself right now, I'd punch him in his fucking face.
"You just want to fuck her," I accuse.
"No... Yes." A pause. *"Both."
I can't help but let out a dark chuckle at his honesty.

The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR
AUBREYThe morning light streaming through our chambers feels different somehow—warmer, more hopeful than it has in days. Knox sits on the edge of the bed, still wearing the clothes from last night's forest rescue, his dark hair mussed and his green eyes soft with the kind of tenderness I thought I'd lost forever."There's something we need to discuss," he says, his voice carrying that careful formality he uses when royal duty intrudes on personal moments. "The wedding arrangements."My stomach clenches, but not with the dread I'd expect. After last night—after he followed me into that corrupted grove, after he offered a truce instead of demands—something has shifted between us. The walls I've built feel less essential, less protective than they once did."The
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE
KNOXI follow Aubrey's scent deeper into the forest. Her trail is erratic, panicked—the kind of desperate flight that speaks of terror rather than simple restlessness. My wolf paces anxiously beneath my skin, sensing our mate's distress through the bond that connects us despite the walls she's built between us."She's in pain," Liam growls, his presence sharp with protective fury. "Something has frightened her badly."I push harder through the underbrush, branches catching at my clothes as concern drives me forward. The fight between us has gone on too long. Whatever secrets Aubrey harbors, whatever truth she's protecting, watching her suffer while maintaining this distance is destroying us both.
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
AUBREYThe tension between Knox and me has stretched for days like a taut wire ready to snap. Ever since I fled from Jax's story about the Haven Pack, Knox has been sleeping in his study, leaving our bed cold and empty. During meals, he maintains polite distance—answering when spoken to, but never initiating conversation. His green eyes, once warm with affection, now hold disappointment and growing suspicion.I catch him watching me sometimes, his jaw clenched with frustration. He knows I'm hiding something massive, and my continued silence is eating away at whatever trust we've built.Meanwhile, Jax and Nora have extended their stay at the castle, claiming they want to spend time with family before beginning their alliance tour. Nora radiates happiness, completely oblivious to the danger she's in, while Jax plays the devoted mate
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
AUBREYThe dining room feels like a tomb as Jax's words hang in the air, each syllable a knife twisted in my chest. He leans back in his chair with casual elegance, as if he hasn't just described the most traumatic night of my life to an audience of unsuspecting family members."The Haven Pack," he continues, his storm-gray eyes locked on mine with predatory focus. "Such a promising young pack, too. They had just crowned their new Alpha heir that very day—a boy barely eighteen, full of hope and dreams for his people's future."My breath catches in my throat. James. He's talking about James, describing my brother's coronation ceremony with the intimate knowledge of someone who was there. Who watched. Who participated."The attack came during the celebration," Jax says, his
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY
AUBREYI wake to the familiar scent of cedar and storm rain, my head pounding with the lingering echoes of Jax's punishment. The soft mattress beneath me and the worried green eyes hovering over me tell me I'm back in Knox's bedroom, though I have no memory of how I got here."Thank the Moon Goddess," Knox breathes, his hand moving to cup my cheek with devastating gentleness. "You scared me, Aubrey. One moment you were standing, and the next you collapsed like someone had struck you down."The irony of his words makes my stomach clench. Someone had struck me down—just not in the way he imagines. I can still feel the phantom pain of Jax's mental assault, the way agony tore through my skull when I tried to warn Nora."I'm fine," I lie, struggling to sit
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
AUBREYThe formal discussions blur around me like background noise, voices rising and falling in patterns I can't quite grasp. My mind keeps circling back to the impossible sight before me—Jax standing in the great hall, his arm casually draped around Nora's waist, playing the role of devoted mate with sickening perfection.What is he doing here?Yes, he's a prince by blood, but Jax has made no secret of his hatred for the castle. Since his mother's death, he's avoided these halls like they carry plague, claiming the memories are too painful to bear. His sudden appearance, his convenient discovery of a "fated mate"—none of it feels genuine.And Nora's words about witch activities make my stomach churn with dread. If only she knew that Avery—the very wi
