The Alpha's Rejected Mate EPILOGUE: THE LIFE AFTER FOREVER.
Lyra’s POVThe first time my daughter fell in love, she asked me whether it was possible to throw a man into a river without killing him.I put down my cup of tea.“Luna, darling, what did he do?”“Nothing.”“Then why are we discussing rivers?”“Because he smiled at me.”I stared at her.She stared back.Then she covered her face with both hands.“Mummy, I think something is wrong with me.”I laughed so hard that I nearly spilled my tea.It had been eighteen years since the crowns turned to dust.Eighteen years since the world had nearly ended.Eighteen years since I had stood beneath a wooden arch and promised to love Kael without turning that love into a prison.And somehow, after everything, the most dangerous force in my household had become a young woman with silver-gold eyes who had inherited her father's stubbornness and my complete inability to mind my own business.“Come here,” I said, opening my arms.Luna groaned.“Mummy, please. I'm too old for this.”“Then you're too old
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 105: The Crown We Never Needed
Lyra’s POVThe morning I decided to renew my wedding vows, my husband was hiding under the bed.I wish I were joking.“Kael.”Silence.I stood in the middle of our bedroom, holding a dress in one hand and a pair of shoes in the other.“Kael, I can see your feet.”“They belong to someone else.”“Someone else has your ridiculous scar on his ankle?”A pause.“An unfortunate coincidence.”I dropped the dress onto the bed.“Get out.”“I would, darling, but there appears to be a problem with the floor.”I crouched beside the bed.He stared back at me from the darkness, his hair sticking up in several directions.I stared at him.Then I burst out laughing.“You fought an ancient being that existed before creation, but you're hiding because I want to renew our vows?”“I'm not hiding because of the vows.”“Then what are you doing?”“Strategic retreat.”I laughed harder.He reached for my hand and allowed me to pull him out.When he stood, he brushed imaginary dust from his clothes and attempte
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 104: The Life We Choose
Kael’s POVI had survived the end of creation, faced the oldest being in existence, watched my heart nearly tear itself apart, and married a woman who had once threatened to destroy an ancient crown with her bare hands.Yet nothing had prepared me for the challenge of choosing curtains.“Blue,” Lyra said.“Gold.”“Blue.”“Gold.”She folded her arms. “Kael, why are you arguing with me about curtains?”“Because you asked for my opinion.”“I asked which color you preferred. I didn't ask you to defend your entire bloodline.”I stared at her.She stared back.Somewhere behind us, Luna burst into laughter.“Daddy, Mummy is winning.”“Your mother is cheating.”“How?”“She was born with that face.”Lyra gasped. “My face?”“Yes. It's distracting. Nobody can think properly around you.”For one beautiful second, I thought I had rescued the situation.Then she smiled.“Fine. We'll get blue curtains.”I narrowed my eyes.“Really?”“Yes. Because I love you, and I want you to feel that your opinion
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 103: A Kingdom Without Crowns
Lyra’s POVThe first thing I noticed was that nobody knew what to do with their hands.It was ridiculous, really.The palace courtyard was filled with nobles, guards, servants, council members, and people who had apparently abandoned whatever they were doing the moment every crown in the Moon Kingdom turned to dust.Some were staring at their empty hands.Others were kneeling before piles of gold and silver powder.One elderly duke was crying.Another was shouting that the kingdom had been cursed.And Lord Varrick, who had spent the last twenty years polishing his reputation as the most important man in the royal council, was holding his head and whispering, “My grandfather’s crown.”I looked at Kael.Kael looked at me.Then we both looked at the tiny pile of dust on the ground between us.“Should we tell them?” I whispered.“Tell them what?”“That it looks better on the floor.”His mouth twitched.“Your Majesty, I strongly advise you not to say that aloud.”“Why?”“Because I would li
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 102: The Voice That Wasn't Mine
Lyra’s POV“Then let everything die with you.”The voice echoed through the collapsing emptiness.It was my voice.My face.My exact tone.But I had never spoken those words.The child covered its ears.“Stop!”The darkness twisted, forming a second figure before us.Another Lyra stood across the broken ground.She wore a black crown, and her eyes shone with silver fire.Kael stepped in front of me.“Who are you?”The other me smiled.“I'm the woman your wife would have become if she had finally understood the truth.”I stared at her.“I understand plenty. And I know I didn't put on that ugly crown.”Her smile vanished.“You still use humor to hide your fear.”“And you use a crown to hide your insecurity. We all have hobbies.”Luna whispered, “Mama, please don't provoke the evil version of yourself.”“I'm not provoking her. I'm establishing boundaries.”Kael muttered, “Beautiful boundaries.”The other Lyra raised her hand.The ground split beneath us.“Enough!”Black chains erupted fr
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 101: The Choice Before Creation
Lyra’s POV“Convince it to choose life?”I stared at the ancient father.“Your solution to an ancient creature destroying existence is to talk to it?”His expression remained serious.“When you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.”“Because it IS ridiculous!”Kael coughed beside me, clearly trying not to laugh.I pointed at him.“You're not helping, husband.”He raised both hands.“I'm supporting you emotionally.”“Support me by staying alive.”“An excellent suggestion.”Luna giggled.For a moment, the ruined chamber felt almost normal.Then the ancient father tried to stand and collapsed.Kael caught him.“Enough jokes,” he said. “Tell us what we need to know.”The old man's gaze drifted toward the broken sky.“The Silence existed before the first thought. It was neither good nor evil. It simply was.”“Then why does it want to erase everything?” I asked.“Because existence introduced something it had never experienced.”“Pain?”“Choice.”He looked at Luna.“When life began, things
