AUBREY
The wooden platform creaks above me as I huddle in the shadows beneath, my thirteen-year-old body trembling with terror. The sweet scent of crushed wildflowers mingles with the metallic tang of blood, creating a nauseating combination that will haunt me forever.
Screams pierce the air—voices I recognize, people I love. My brother James's voice rises above the chaos, defiant even as death closes in. Then it cuts off abruptly, and something inside my chest shatters.
"Find the girl!" a voice commands, cold and authoritative. "She can't have gone far."
I press my hands over my mouth to stifle my sobs, my heart hammering so hard I'm sure they'll hear it. Through t

The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER SIXTY
AUBREYI stand before the ornate mirror in my bridal chambers, watching my reflection as morning light streams through the tall windows. My wedding dress hangs nearby—ivory silk with intricate beadwork that catches the sunlight like scattered diamonds. In just hours, I'll walk down the aisle to marry Knox, and tonight... tonight I'll tell him everything.The decision sits heavy in my chest, but it feels right. After last night, after hearing him whisper that he loves me, I can't keep living this lie. I can't let more innocent people risk their lives while I harbor Jax's secrets. Most importantly, I can't afford to lose Knox. Not now. Not when I've finally understood what we could have together.My fingers trace the diamond bracelet Elder Lina gave me, its warm pulse a reminder that some magic protects rather than controls.

The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE
KNOXThe morning of my wedding should be filled with anticipation, not the cold dread that sits like lead in my stomach as I make my way to Elder Lina's tower. Her summons arrived at dawn, brief and urgent: "Come immediately. The blood results are ready."Each step up the spiral staircase feels heavier than the last. Part of me doesn't want to know what Lina has discovered, doesn't want confirmation of the suspicions that have been eating away at me for days. But if I'm right about the white wolf's identity, if my worst fears are true, then Aubrey deserves to know—no matter how much it will destroy her.I find Lina standing before her workbench, her silver hair gleaming in the morning light as she studies a collection of vials filled with various colored liquids. When she turns to fac
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
AUBREYI lie in the darkness, staring at the ceiling as moonlight filters through the gossamer curtains. Sleep refuses to come, my mind churning with Lina's devastating revelations about the possibility that Jax might have manipulated my memories.What if everything I believed could be a lie?The thought makes my stomach clench with nausea. Even though nothing has been confirmed, even though we don't know for certain, just the possibility that my memories of that night, my loyalty to Jax, even my burning need for revenge could all be manufactured—it's terrifying beyond words.I turn restlessly in the massive bed, and my movement wakes Knox. His arm tightens around my waist as he stirs, pulling me closer against his warm chest."Can'
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
AUBREYThe narrow spiral staircase to Elder Lina's tower feels endless as I climb, my hand trailing along the cold stone wall for balance. Each step echoes softly in the confined space, mixing with the sound of my slightly labored breathing. I've been putting off this visit for days, but the diamond bracelet on my wrist—the one that somehow protected me from Jax's mental assault during the ceremony—deserves proper gratitude.Plus, I'm curious about her cryptic words. "Make the choice you already know in your heart." What did she mean by that?The scent of herbs and something else—something that tastes like old magic—grows stronger as I near the top. When I finally reach the heavy wooden door, I pause to catch my breath before knocking."Come in, child," Lina's

KNOXThe heavy oak door of my private study creaks as I pace behind my mahogany desk, afternoon sunlight streaming through tall windows and casting long shadows across scattered reports. Three days have passed since the Awakening Ceremony, and while the ritual itself was flawless—the wolf spirits blessing our union with ethereal beauty that still makes my chest swell with pride—everything afterward has felt wrong. Like watching storm clouds gather on what should be a clear horizon.Noah sits in the leather chair across from my desk, his wire-rimmed glasses catching the light as he studies a collection of documents with growing concern. The familiar scratch of his pen fills the silence between us, but I can see the tension in his shoulders that mirrors my own unease."Tell me about Nora's pack again," I say, stopping my restle
The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE
AUBREYThe sacred waters of the Moonlight Pool lap gently against the ancient stone edges, their surface reflecting the full moon like captured starlight. Knox stands beside me in the shallow water, his formal ceremonial robes clinging to his muscled frame as moonbeams dance across his skin. The entire werewolf kingdom surrounds us in a reverent circle, their faces upturned to witness this most sacred of rituals.This is it. The Awakening Ceremony that Jax demanded I sabotage.The thought makes my stomach clench with nausea, but Elder Lina's bracelet pulses warm against my wrist, a steady reminder of her words: Make the choice you already know in your heart."Are you ready?" Knox murmurs, his green eyes searching mine with tender concer
