Pain cuts through the darkness like shattered glass, dragging me back to consciousness with cruel efficiency. My skull throbs with every heartbeat, and my limbs feel like they're made of lead. I try to move and metal clanks against stone—shackles bind my wrists and ankles to the damp basement walls.
The air tastes of mold and despair. A single flickering candle provides the only light, casting dancing shadows across crumbling stone. Water drips somewhere in the darkness, each drop marking time I don't have.
This is Jax's cage.
Footsteps echo on the stairs above, measured and deliberate. I force myself to sit straighter despite the agony screaming through my body, refusing to show weakness even in this hole.

The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX
AUBREYMy bare feet slip on wet leaves as I stumble through the forest, each step sending waves of agony through my broken body. Blood runs down my arms from deep gashes across my shoulders, soaking through my torn dress and leaving a crimson trail behind me. The metallic taste fills my mouth, where I've bitten my tongue to keep from screaming. I had to shift back to human form.Keep moving. Don't stop. They might still be following.My vision blurs as pain crashes over me in relentless waves. The silver blade wounds burn like liquid fire, refusing to heal at their normal rate. Every breath feels like swallowing glass, my ribs screaming in protest. But I force one foot in front of the other, driven by pure survival instinct.Branches tear at my already-shredded clothing as I push dee
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
AUBREYI drag myself to the nearest wall, my back hitting the cold stone as my legs give out beneath me. My heart pounds against my ribs, each beat sending fresh waves of pain through my battered body. Torn fabric lies scattered across the dungeon floor—what's left of my clothes after Jax's hands ripped them away.Tears fill my eyes as the reality crashes over me. What he almost did. What would have happened if that thunderous bang hadn't echoed through the castle, forcing him to leave and investigate. I silently thank whoever or whatever caused that noise—it saved me from something I wouldn't have survived intact.With trembling hands, I reach for the shredded remains of my shirt, trying to gather enough fabric to cover myself. My fingers shake as I—"Well, well. Look what

KNOXI spread the latest intelligence reports across the war room table, my hands steadier than they've been in days. The parchments detail possible Jax sightings—a manor abandoned in haste near the eastern border, witnesses reporting a man matching his description two kingdoms over, rumors of a mysterious benefactor funding mercenary groups along our southern territories.All leads. All potentially false. All I have."The scouts returned from the Blackwood region," Astor reports, his massive frame filling the doorway as he enters. Dark circles shadow his eyes—none of us have been sleeping properly since the attack. "No sign of him there either."I nod grimly, adding another red X to the map where we've eliminated possibilities. Three weeks of searching
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE
AUBREYStrong hands drag me back through the dungeon corridors, my brief taste of freedom already a fading dream. My body aches from the confrontation, but it's nothing compared to the horror of what I discovered in that room. Nora's lifeless form, twisted in the exact position my mother died in—the image burns behind my eyelids like a brand.They throw me back into the cell with enough force that I hit the stone wall hard. Pain explodes through my shoulder, but before I can recover, Jax enters behind them."You won't get away so easily this time," he says, his voice laced with dark amusement as he produces a set of silver shackles.Ice floods my veins as I recognize the gleam of silver. The regular chains were bad enough, but silver will burn away what little strength I have left, leav

The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
AUBREYJax.The sight of him sends white-hot rage blazing through my veins like wildfire. Gone is the mentor I once worshipped, the savior I believed rescued me from darkness. Now I see him for what he truly is—a murderer who orchestrated my family's massacre and spent years manipulating me into his perfect weapon."Aubrey," he says, his voice carrying that same warm tone he used when I was thirteen and broken. "I've been waiting for you."His storm-gray eyes hold an expression I once would have mistaken for compassion. Now I recognize it for what it truly is—satisfaction. He's pleased that his plan worked, that I'm here exactly where he predicted I'd be."I know what you did," I say, my voice steady despite the fury cour
