“Shut up.”

The sound of my voice resonates off the walls in the room, cutting clean through the air before Helena can speak. I slowly walk in, hands clasped behind my back, gaze sweeping across the room.

For a second, the only sound in the chamber is the quiet ruffle of the elders' robes as they all shift to look at me. Brows furrowing, I turn to where Helena stands, frozen at the spot.

Slowly, her head turns, her expression tightening as her eyes meet mine. The composure she wore when

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 45

    AeronThe door slams hard with a loud thud that echoes through the room, leaving behind a heavy silence that somehow seems louder than the bang. For a long moment, nobody says anything. We all stare at the entrance, as if expecting her to walk back in at any moment. Knowing Helena, I knew it would only be a matter of time. Refusing to dwell on it, I straightened slightly in my seat and turned to the elders. “Let's all focus please," I say, my voice calm yet edged with command. “We have more pressing matters than her anger." I let the silence linger for a second as I knew my next words would only stir the elders up. “Kellan," I say after the pause, my gaze moving across the council. “How is he?" A few elders stiffen at the mere mention of his name and others exchange brief looks. I can tell they aren't expecting me to mention him since his judgement is to be decided tomorrow. “Kellan is still being held in the dungeon," one of them says carefully as he leans forward. “As the bas

    Aeron“Shut up.”The sound of my voice resonates off the walls in the room, cutting clean through the air before Helena can speak. I slowly walk in, hands clasped behind my back, gaze sweeping across the room. For a second, the only sound in the chamber is the quiet ruffle of the elders' robes as they all shift to look at me. Brows furrowing, I turn to where Helena stands, frozen at the spot. Slowly, her head turns, her expression tightening as her eyes meet mine. The composure she wore when I walked in is still there, but it is forced now. “Oh, Aeron," she mutters, her tone heightening as she feigns surprise. "I… didn't realize you were–”“Did I give you permission to speak, Helena?" I cut in, stepping further into the room. I watch her lips part, ready to retort, but then they close again. Her jaw tightens and her gaze follows me as I walk past her. My hands run over the table until I finally reach my seat at the head of the table. The chair creaks softly under me as I settle d

    MarcellusThe letter requesting my summon had been brief. My daughter had brought it in, saying it was from the Alpha delivered by one of the guards. There was no explanation or reason for the call, just a clear message that the Alpha needed my presence and that of the entire elder council chamber at the mansion. I assume he had finally talked to Sera and convinced her to come back and that was my main reason for answering the call. The door to the corridor creaks open, the sound echoing off the walls as I step in. The usual flow of servants and guards have thinned out, possibly for the meeting. My steps clicking faintly against the polished floors, I make my way to the heavy wooden doors separating the council chamber from the rest of the hallway. But as I get close, something about it feels… off. Murmurs come from within, incomprehensible like a quiet chaos. That didn't seem like the elders. Had they started meeting already?Brows furrowing, I push the doors open and walk in. E

    HelenaThe morning sunlight peeks over the high-rise buildings, glinting off their windows in scattered rays that dotted the streets below. Little shacks and duplex apartments fill the rest of the city l, stretching endlessly beyond the mansion. Life has begun to cover the place, wolves sprawling in every direction. From where I stand on the balcony, I can see the cars pulling out of driveways and people gliding past one another in a scattered fashion. Faint hums of engines and sputtering exhausts stain the quiet of the morning as people go on with their lives. But those lives all feel so small and far away from where I am. “Mother!!!" A voice screams out. I close my eyes and tighten my fingers around the cold metal railing. The pressure builds up gradually until my knuckles whiten and the chill of the iron bites into my palm.“Mother, stop him!!!" My teeth grit as I shake my head. I know the voices aren't real, but a recurring nightmare that plagues me even during the daytime.

    SeraThe moment his words leave his mouth, I tip over as a hollow laugh tears out my throat. My hand covers my face as I step back on instinct, putting space between us again. “Of course," I mutter, bitterness creeping into my dry chuckles. “There it is. There is the truth you find so hard to blurt out." Aeron's tightened brows loosened. “Sera–”"No,” I cut in sharply, my voice rising just a little as I shake my head. "No need to try to explain. You can just say it as it is. Go on. Finish your words.”His expression hardened a little, resolve settling into his features. He hesitates for a moment, before finally saying, “without you, my position as Alpha is… going to be compromised.”He says the words exactly how I expected him to. They land cold, precise and calculated. Like he had been rehearsing them before coming here. "Right,” I mutter, nodding slowly as a bitter smile tugged at my lips. “So… that's basically what I am to you now. Some pawn in your stupid little game?”"Sera,”

    SeraFor a long moment, neither of us makes a move to say anything. We just stand there, avoiding eye contact as the world carries on around us. No longer comfortable with the silence, I open my mouth to speak when a horn blares suddenly behind me. I flinch and curse before I can stop myself, but Aeron still doesn't move. Instead, he raises his gaze, locking it on me like nothing else exists. My chest tightened at the intensity of his stare, making it hard to breathe. Then, breaking the quiet, he finally says, “I want you to come back to the mansion." There is no hesitation in his tone. Just that simple, direct edge, like what he had asked was the easiest thing in the world to do. I shake my head and let out a quiet scoff at how incredulous he sounded. But when I see he's still holding his serious stare, I stop and take a step back. "You want me to come back?” I ask, a wry smile etched on my face. “Why? What is your reason?" He takes too long to give an answer. And that, more t

    AeronThe council chamber is colder than the courtyard, stone curves upward into a domed ceiling carved with the crests of every bloodline that has ever ruled Nightbane.

    SeraThe chanting begins to fade, but the tension still lingers in the air–thick, palpable. It hovers above the courtyard like smoke after a fire."All hail the Alpha," the crowd repeats again, louder this time. “All hail the Alpha."They speak in unity, but their words sound forced now.

    SeraDawn settles on the city with a merciless chill, painting the sky with a pale color of silver. The clouds resembles old silk and the air is crisp, tinged with the bite of frost. I try to take in a deep breath but it is sharp against my lungs. I keep my breathing minimal, steps steady as I walk
