(Lena POV)

I don't know when I slept; maybe it was because of my selfish action or something else that made me feel a headache and fall asleep, but I remember that Theo was here questioning me and left when I didn't answer his questions.

Now the house felt larger than it was, the silence in the hallway stretching out from the empty space where Theo’s boots usually sat by the door. I poured the water into a mug, watching the tea leaves swirl and settle at the bottom, and carried it to the window

  • The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me   Chapter 104: The Weight of the Street

    (Lena POV)The rain stopped sometime during the night, leaving the Lowlands under a thick, clinging fog that smelled of wet ash and stagnant water. I stayed in bed until the light coming through the window turned from gray to a dull, bruised yellow. In the kitchen, the floorboards creaked under Mira’s weight, a steady, rhythmic sound as she moved between the stove and the table. I dressed slowly, pulling on the sweater Theo had left on the back of the sofa three days ago, and walked out into the hall.Mira was standing at the counter, her back to me. She was slicing a loaf of bread, the knife making a clean, sharp sound against the wood. She didn't look around when I sat at the table. She just pushed a plate toward me, two thick slices of bread resting on the edge, and went back to the stove to check the kettle."Theo didn't come back," I said, my voice sounding rough in the quiet room.Mira picked up a dishcloth and wiped a spot of flour off the counter. "He’s at the boundary with Ja

I poured the water into a mug, watching the tea leaves swirl and settle at the bottom, and carried it to the window.Outside, the street was gray under a low ceiling of clouds. Mrs. Gable was hanging laundry three houses down, her movements stiff as she pinned a heavy wool blanket to the line. She stopped for a moment, looking toward the community room at the end of the lane, and then looked at Theo’s front porch. I stepped back behind the curtain, the ceramic mug hot against my palms.By noon, the rain started, a fine, cold mist that turned the dirt road into a slick of orange mud. I put on my coat and move

  • The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me   Chapter 102: The Question She Can't Answer

    (Lena POV)"Did you know," he repeated, his voice dropping into a dangerous, jagged register, "that while forty of our people were standing at a fence waiting to die, the war was already over?"I looked at him, and for the first time in my life, I didn't have an answer. I looked at my hands, the hands that had touched the fence, the hands that had whispered a timeline to a man who lived in the dark.The silence returned, but this time, it was the silence of a house that had finally collapsed.The kitchen had grown smaller. The walls, once familiar and comforting with their peeling paint and the smell of dried thyme, now felt like they were physically closing in. I stood my ground, my spine rigid, as Theo’s gaze burned into me. We were two people who had spent our lives navigating the shadows together, but for the first time, the shadow between us was an abyss."It’s complicated," I said. The words felt pathetic the mome

  • The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me   Chapter 101: Lena Comes Back

    (Lena POV)The walk back to Theo’s house had been a blur of shadows and the rhythmic pounding of my own heart. The evening before, the air had felt thick, pregnant with the moisture of the coming rainy season and the static of a war about to ignite. Kai had walked me to the south gate himself—a break from his usual cold, calculated distance.At the gate, the moonlight had caught the sharp planes of his face, making him look more like a statue than a man. He had stopped, his hand resting briefly on the rusted iron, and looked at me with an intensity that made my breath hitch."Go back to Theo's," he’d said, his voice a low vibration. "Stay there tomorrow. Don’t be at the boundary.""Why?" The word had felt small."Because if you are in the compound when Varden moves, someone is going to ask why the heir’s mate came back the day of the attack. I don’t have an answer for that question that doesn&rsq

  • The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me   Chapter 100: The Day That Didn't Come

    (Theo POV)The eastern boundary didn’t look like a battlefield; it looked like a postcard of nowhere.I arrived before the first streak of gray had even cut through the black of the Nasarawa horizon. The air was a sharp, biting cold that felt like needles against my skin, the kind of chill that settles deep in your marrow when you’ve been awake too long. Jake was already there, a dark silhouette against the sagging wire of the fence. His collar was turned up, his shoulders hunched, and a thermos was clutched in his gloved hands like a holy relic.He didn’t turn when he heard my boots crunching on the dry earth. He just extended the thermos. I took it, the metal warm against my palms, and swallowed a mouthful of coffee that tasted like burnt beans and woodsmoke. It was the best thing I’d ever tasted. I handed it back, and we stood there in a silence so thick you could have carved it.Behind us, the Low

  • The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me   Chapter 99: Walter's Fury

    (Ryan POV)The door had barely begun to swing shut when Walter’s voice sliced through the tension, cold and sharp as a winter blade."Ryan. Get back here."I froze. My hand was still white-knuckled on the brass handle, the adrenaline of our confrontation coursing through me like a fever. I took a breath, trying to steady the shaking in my chest, and turned back. Walter hadn't moved. He sat behind that massive oak desk, his hands flat on the surface, staring at the message from Kai as if he could set the paper on fire with his eyes alone.The silence that followed was a physical weight. I’d spent thirty years as his son and fifteen as his heir; I knew this silence. It was the quiet before a tectonic shift. I didn't fill it. I’d learned that lesson the hard way at ten, and again at twenty. I wouldn't need a third time.Finally, he looked up. His eyes weren't filled with the roar of a wolf; they were filled with the cold calculation of a king."How much did she know?"The question was a

    The walk back to the quarters felt endless, my body moving on autopilot while my mind remained buried with my mother. Julian peeled off at some point, murmuring something about giving us privacy, and then it was just Kai and me walking through corridors that felt too bright for a wo

    My father stood and moved toward the door, but instead of opening it to dismiss me, he paused with his hand on the handle."Walk with me," he said, and it wasn't quite a command but close enough.I followed him out of the study, past Harrison who was pacing in the hall
