The Rejected Alpha Queen 109
Epilogue Selene’s POVFive years. It felt like a lifetime since all the chaos and darkness that once consumed us. Standing here today, watching our daughter’s christening surrounded by everyone we love, I couldn’t help but smile at how far we’d come.I ran my hand gently over my growing belly, already feeling the soft flutter of life inside me—a promise of new beginnings. Two little boys at home kept me busy enough, but this pregnancy was a different kind of joy. Ronan was right by my side, as steady and caring as ever, balancing his protective nature with a tenderness I’d come to cherish deeply.Our house was always full of laughter now—shouts from the boys, their footsteps pounding as they chased each other around the garden, and the peaceful moments when they’d curl up in our laps. I caught Ronan’s eye and smiled. He squeezed my hand, a silent reminder that we were in this journey together, no matter what the future held.The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion.

Selene’s POVThe soft hum of the ocean waves outside our window was the first sound to greet me as I woke. Light filtered gently through the curtains, painting the room in hues of gold and rose. I turned slowly, feeling the warmth of Ronan’s body beside me. His steady breath, the quiet rise and fall of his chest—it was the kind of calm I hadn’t known I could feel again after the chaos.I reached out, tracing the curve of his jaw, and he opened his eyes, smiling that slow, knowing smile that always made my heart skip.“Good morning, Selene,” he whispered, his voice thick with sleep but full of something deeper — love, relief, hope.“Good morning,” I replied, feeling a shy flush creep up my neck. Here we were, finally, alone and free, together in this peaceful place far away from all the battles and pain.Our honeymoon felt like stepping into a new chapter — fragile, tentative, yet filled with a promise so powerful it almost made me dizzy. We’d fought so much to get here, to claim this

Ronan's POVThe sun bathed the entire pack grounds in warm gold as the final touches were being made to the twin wedding set-up. I stood in front of the large floral archway, the scent of roses and jasmine mixing with the earthy scent of the woods around us. Two platforms, two altars, one for Selene and me, the other for Keiran and Nelly. It felt surreal. After everything, betrayals, battles, and pain, we had all somehow made it here.I adjusted the collar of my ceremonial jacket and glanced to my side where Keiran stood. He looked calm, for once. Grounded. We exchanged a small nod—one that said everything words couldn’t. We’d been through hell together. Now we were stepping into something new. Something better.The music started to play.I turned toward the aisle, heart pounding—not from nerves, but from pure anticipation. My wolf stirred inside me, recognizing what was coming. The moment I saw Selene step out, my breath hitched.She was a vision.The white lace perfectly clung to

Keiran's POV The stars were just beginning to take their place in the sky when I finished lighting the last of the lanterns. The garden glowed softly, bathed in golds and warm whites. I took a step back, looking over everything—candles lined the stone path, flower petals scattered on the ground, and a small table set for two rested under the canopy of roses I had spent the entire day arranging.I exhaled slowly.This had to be perfect.Nikki stepped up beside me, brushing her hands together as she admired the scene. “You really went all out,” she said with a smirk. “I like this romantic version of you, Keiran.”I smiled faintly, heart racing for a different reason now. “Thanks for helping me pull it together.”She bumped her shoulder lightly against mine. “You deserve this. She deserves it too. Now… go get in position. I’ll bring her out.”I nodded and walked toward the center of the garden. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, and the scent of roses and jasmine swirled in the ai

Keiran's POV I sat there, silent, as the judgment was read aloud.The elders had taken their time, pretending to weigh justice with mercy. In reality, they’d already made up their minds before the sun rose today. This wasn’t about justice. This was about preserving what remained of the council’s image.“For the betrayal against the Empress, the royal family, and the werewolf kingdom,” Elder Marlowe began, her voice void of emotion, “Lord Edric shall be sentenced to life imprisonment. No visitation rights, no contact with the outside world. He will remain in isolation until the day he dies.”A murmur ran through the room. Some thought it was too harsh. Some, not harsh enough. But everyone turned to look at me, the son.The pity in their eyes disgusted me.I didn’t flinch. Didn’t move a muscle.I was supposed to be grateful for their compassion. For going “easy” on a traitor just because he shared my blood. I didn’t ask for that pity. I didn’t want it.I sat still until the hall emp

Elias's POVI didn’t even get a chance to breathe before the storm found me again.As soon as I stepped into the house, I was greeted by the smell of jasmine and cinnamon—my mother’s favorite scent. It used to comfort me. Now, it just made my stomach turn.The door closed behind me with a soft click, and I stood there in the silence of the hallway, letting my eyes drift up the staircase. I knew who was waiting.Sure enough, I heard heels clicking against the marble. “Elias,” came my mother’s voice, calm but firm. “We need to talk.”I sighed, dragging a hand through my hair. “Of course we do.”She appeared at the top of the stairs, regal in her dark robe, not a strand of hair out of place. Behind her, Lora stood like a perfectly painted portrait—smiling, glowing, too perfect.“I heard what happened,” Mother began as she descended the stairs. “You’re lucky to be alive. All of you.”“Selene and Luka weren't lucky to be alive,” I said, walking past her into the living room. “Don’t worr

Keiran's POV The ride to Ronan’s house was quiet—too quiet.Selene lay unconscious in the back seat, her head resting on Ronan’s shoulder. Luka sat beside her, barely clinging to consciousness. His skin was pale, and his body trembled every now and then. Elias sat in the front, eyes fixed ahead, his jaw clenched so tightly I could hear the grind of his teeth.Nelly didn’t say a word. Her hand remained in mine, fingers tangled tightly, like she knew I was one breath away from breaking.Because I was.My father—my own father—had been behind it all.The lies. The betrayals. The manipulations.He had helped Leo try to kill Selene and tried to turn us against each other. He’d betrayed our pack, our blood, our bond.And the worst part?He never once looked sorry.Ronan’s car finally pulled into the long driveway, the lights from the porch flickering against the dark sky. His house stood tall, familiar, but tonight it looked different, like even the walls were holding their breath.The

Leo’s POV I watched them begin to stir. Selene first. Her lashes fluttered. Her head turned weakly against the stained pillow. Luka followed, a sharp inhale jerking his chest upward as he groaned in pain. Gazelle’s body lay slumped in the corner like discarded meat, her once-living skin now starting to wither and crack like old paper. Her magic, what was left of it, had evaporated with her dying laugh still echoing faintly in my ears. She was gone. And now it was my turn. Selene blinked a few times, her gaze locking on mine as the haze cleared in her eyes. “What’s happening?” she croaked. I took a slow step toward her, letting the full weight of my hatred rise to the surface. “What’s happening?” I echoed mockingly. “You’re waking up to your end.” She frowned, her hand weakly reaching for the edge of the bed. “I’m going to take your powers, Selene,” I said, savoring the words. “Every drop. And when I’m done, there’ll be nothing left of you but a shell. You’ll die, forgotte

Ronan's POV We finally made it.The car skidded to a stop in front of a crooked stone mansion, its windows dark, its very presence soaked in dread. The scent of charred salt still hung in the air from the mix we’d been burning since we traced the spell. And the strand of Selene’s hair still pulsed faintly in Elias’s palm like it had a heartbeat of its own.“She’s in there,” Elias murmured, his voice low and grim. “But there’s blood.”I looked down. The floor leading to the front entrance was stained with it, dark, still fresh.Selene.A cold knot formed in my stomach.“We move carefully,” Elias said, lifting his hand to stop Keiran. “She might be hurt. We can’t risk doing anything that’ll get her killed. Or make Leo and Gazelle lash out.”Keiran clenched his fists. I watched him, the way Nelly stood by his side, holding his arm tightly like she was the only thing anchoring him.His father…I couldn’t imagine the kind of pain he was holding in. I’d seen betrayal before. I’d lived thr
