“Will you be at the coronation tomorrow?" I ask John, my co-worker, as he locks up the shop. But he just flashes me a light glare and turns away.

I stand there, watching as he climbs his bike and starts it. The engine purrs softly and I consider asking if he could take me home. But before the words can even come off my mouth, he zooms off into the road.

My eyes remain on him until the taillight of his bike mixes with the others up front.

“Okay," I mutter as I walk away from the dark r

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 122

    HelenaI watch as Kellan disappears through the entrance gates of the packhouse, his movement indicating that he is greatly troubled.Beside me, Aspyn watches him too with visible confusion."And...how can his anger be any useful?" she asked.I turn to see her staring at me with a confused look. "Oh don't worry about that," I say. "I've had encounters with men like him a lot. When bitterness settles too deeply inside them, their pride festers and their thoughts provoke them to seek revenge on anyone and anything related to the anger they face."Aspyn nods slowly, though the confusion still resides on her face. "I'll be in charge of the food and drinks tonight," I tell her quietly. "And through that means...I'll do what urgently needs to be done with the parcel."Aspyn's eyes brighten instantly, and a smile spreads slowly across her lips. "I honestly can't wait."Neither do I, of course. And I can't also wait to see that Aspyn's stupid plans of becoming the Luna of the pack gets des

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 121

    SeraI stagger two quick steps backwards, my pulse rising sharply beneath my skin as I stare at him in complete disbelief."You've gone freaking mad," I say, my voice louder now. "You are insane Kellan!"Kellan suddenly laughs softly beneath his breath, then he lifts a finger to his lips."Shhh," he murmurs. "Keep your damn voice down. There's no need to make a scene now, is there?"I continue staring at him, and his eyes remain fixed on me with an intensity that immediately unsettles my wolf."Kellan," I say carefully, "you need to leave now."But he shakes his head slowly. "No. I–I can't."I notice how fast he suddenly begins to breathe. "And I know you love me too. I see it every time you look at me."My lips part immediately. "Stop this. That was a long time ago–""You still do," he insists, taking another steps closer. "I know you may try to bury it under duty or loyalty, but I still see it in your eyes.""No, you don't," I snap.He barely seems to hear me, as his voice lowers ev

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 120

    Sera Ketura rounds up the arrangment of the last herbs into her satchel before turning back toward me. She maintains that same composed warmth she always seems to carry around herself.The room smells faintly of crushed leaved and medicinal oils now, the lingering trace of her work still settled into the air around us."You should rest for a while longer," she says in a gentle voice. "Your body has gone through quite the awakening today.""True," I mutter as I sit upright against the headboard. I watch her movement carefully. "You're leaving already?""Yes, my lady," she replies with a small nod. "There is still much to do."I hesitate briefly before speaking again. "Well, I was thinking you could stay for the feast tonight."That makes her pause fully. Her eyes lift to mine, and then a smile slowly spreads across her face. She bows her head slightly."It would truly be a honor, my Luna," she says warmly. "But there are grave matters requiring my attention."I frown slightly. I know

    HelenaThe drive stretches far longer than Aspyn anticipates.This is much obvious from the way she keeps glancing through the windows every few minutes as though she might finally recognise where I am taking her. But the roads leaning toward the Greenwoods are not roads wolves of her status travel freely.They twist through forgotten paths and hidden routes swallowed by towering trees and very thick vegetation. Moonlight even struggles to settle fully on the ground most times here, and this stretches for miles.Soon, the sound of the car's engine is replaced entirely by the rustling of ancient trees and the occasional cry of unseen creatures somewhere deep within the woods.Aspyn shifts slightly in her seat. "You're not bothered, Helena."I glance at her. "What?""You're not bothered in any way," she adds. "It means you've been here before or something."I keep my eyes ahead. "Yeah. Quite a long time ago."The car tires crunch softly against the gravel as the final stretch of road o

    HelenaThe moment I step away from Kellan’s chamber, the shape of my new plan begins to settle properly inside my mind.Not as scattered frustration or as blind anger. But as something cleaner and sharper.The corridor stretches ahead of me in silence as my heels strike softly against the polished floor, each step measured and elegant despite the storm threading through my thoughts. I can feel the faint humming of the packhouse as it begins activities for tonight's celebration. Kellan must have given orders from his chamber, as I spot servants already moving about in hurried preparation. Guards shift posts too, and I am sure the cooks are no doubt preparing food to feed an army.All for Sera and the unborn child.My jaw tightens almost imperceptibly.A poisonous potion from the deep Greenwoods should clear this mess. The thought slips through my mind so naturally that I murmur it beneath my breath before I can stop myself.“Yes,” I whisper faintly. “That should do it.”The Greenwoods

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 117

    KellanAeron's laughter continues to spill through the line in sharp bursts, as though the very suggestion I have made amuses him far more than it should.I remain still, the phone pressed against my ear, and my jaw tightening with every passing second as the sound lingers.Then it dies down slowly, like ember losing heat."Kellan," Aeron says at last, "do just as I have commanded and stop being...delusional."The words lands harder than I expect, causing my expression to harden. But I do not speak yet."The role of pack advisor suits you far more than that of a commander," he continues on that firm, unquestionably authority I know too well. "Stay where you are most useful."My grip on the phone tightens. "My lord, I–""I expect a full report before midnight," he cuts in cleanly, leaving no space for argument.The line goes dead.For a brief moment, I stand there with the phone still pressed to my ears. Then the reality settles in fully, and something in me snaps."Damn it!" I say as
