My body jerked upright before I even realized I was awake. Water poured down my face, slipping into my eyes and mouth, and my lungs burned as I gasped. I swallowed hard, my throat raw from yesterday’s fight, or maybe it was the day before. My body ached from head to toe. Every muscle screamed in protest.

“Get up!” a voice barked. Harsh. Unforgiving.

I blinked against the water, trying to steady my head. My skull throbbed where the rogue Alpha’s men had hit me. I couldn’t even remember how many times I’d been slammed to the ground. My ribs were shattered, or at least that’s what it felt like. Breathing made my chest feel like it had been torn open.

I tried to rise, and a boot pressed into my back, shoving me forward roughly. “Move! No excuses,” the man growled.

I grunted, forcing my legs under me. My wolf wanted to surge, to rip them apart, but my body refused. I was broken before the day had even begun.

They shoved me outside. The sun burned my eyes, but I didn’t care. Pain ran throug

  • The Alpha's Rejection    Chapter 50

    Eryx POVThe next morning, I was woken up by the sound of a rattle on the door.“The Alpha wants your presence in the throne room,” he said.He came closer to me, looking at me with a suspicious eye. Then he proceeded to remove the chain that held me, and he gestured for me to follow him, which I did.We arrived at the throne room in no time.The room exuded power and authority, a space where dominance wasn’t whispered; it was felt. Dark stone walls rose high, streaked with shadows that danced in the flicker of firelight from massive torches mounted along the sides. The floor was polished obsidian, reflecting the tall, jagged windows that framed the surrounding wilderness, letting the scent of earth and pine drift inside. At the far end, an elevated throne carved from blackened wood and inlaid with silver wolf motifs commanded attention, sharp lines and sheer size leaving no doubt who ruled here. The air was heavy, carrying a scent of strength and instinct. Every corner, every beam, e

    Eryx POVI walked through the forest. I felt the crunch of leaves underneath my feet.The air felt off, and I prepared myself in a stance. But the air cooled down, and I no longer felt that weird feeling anymore.I slowed without meaning to; my steps were more deliberate. The air carried too many scents, and I couldn’t identify if the enemy was here or not, but I walked slowly anyway.My wolf stirred uneasily.I shifted my weight, scanning the trees. But I felt it, eyes on me. The hairs along my spine lifted.I turned, but it was already too late.The first hit came from the side, bone-shaking and brutal. I barely had time to react before another slammed into my back, knocking the breath from my lungs. I rolled, snapping, claws flashing, catching fur and flesh. Howls cut through the trees. It wasn’t just one, but many wolves.They came in waves.I fought, instinct taking over, teeth sinking, muscles burning, but they were everywhere. One went for my leg, another my throat. Pain explod

    Zaiden POVImmediately we were done with breakfast, Xavier and I moved to his library, where we would usually plan. On getting there, we found Eryx already waiting.“Good morning, Alphas.”“Morning,” we answered at once, and I asked,“How are you doing?”“I’m doing well,” he said, and I hoped so.We got into the library and made a plan. We had no specific place where the rogues would be, so we had to take a risk on him wandering about so he’d get caught by them. We made sure he didn’t take anything with him so it wouldn’t look planned. I got the tracker and placed it on specific places on his body. At least it would not be traceable.Karen’s POVThe next day felt… quiet.I woke up alone, the room neat and still, sunlight slipping in through the curtains. Although the thought of Zaiden seeped through, I removed the thought of him from my head and got ready for work instead.I took a quick bath, wore simple clothes, just a loose top with baggy trousers and a cross bag. I tied my hair in

    Zaiden’s POVI got to the guest room where I stayed with Adrian and immediately walked into the bathroom to take a cool bath. I was tired from the journey. It was hectic. After I was done, I strolled into the kitchen to get water, only to see Xavier in the living room. He stood by the window with his shoulders relaxed and one hand resting against the frame as he gazed outside. His weight leaned slightly to one side.I walked into the kitchen, took my water, and went to the living room to meet him.“You look lost in thought,” I said, looking outside the window too as I walked toward him and stood beside him, one hand in my pocket and the other holding the water.“Right?” he said and smiled.“You look disturbed,” I said.“Not really. Just a regular tired Alpha trying to get his head off some Alpha duties,” he said, and I smiled.“Not like you can really get away from it, but you can keep consoling yourself with that,” I chuckled lightly.He turned toward me and laughed too.“You came ba

    Zaiden’s POVDays later.Karen’s heat had finally settled.She was sitting on the edge of the bed when I walked in, brushing her hair back with her fingers. The moment she noticed me, she smiled.“You’re staring,” she said.I walked over without answering, standing between her knees. My hands settled on her waist automatically, thumbs pressing in slightly.“Can I not look at my mate now?” I asked.She scoffed. “You’ve been looking since morning.”“And I’ll keep doing it.”Her hands came up to my chest, gripping my shirt lightly. “Lisa says I’m completely fine now.”“I know,” I said. “I can feel it.”She leaned into me, resting her forehead against my chest. “I don’t like that you’re leaving again.”My arms wrapped around her immediately, firm, grounding. “I don’t like it either.”“You always say that,” she muttered.“And it’s always true.”She sighed and pressed closer. I slid one hand up her back, slow, familiar, just holding her there. “It won’t be long,” I said. “The worst is over.
