The voice had threatened to make Noah open the door alone, and now the only thing I wanted was to hear my son say my name. I knew the warning could be a trap, but the thought of him frightened and isolated beneath the kingdom left no room for patience.

“Can you reach the ward again?” I asked Maelis.

She stood beside the covered map, studying the faint marks left by the transmission she had blocked. “Not safely through the same channel. Whatever sent that message may still be waiting for us to a

  • The Rejected Female Alpha    Chapter 189

    The name followed us out of the collapsing passage, and it stayed in my mind long after the stone entrance disappeared behind us. Vaelor. I had heard the force speak it through Cassian, but I had not understood why it used the name of someone from centuries ago. What troubled me most was Vaelora's silence.Adrian kept one arm beneath Eren as we crossed the last stretch of the tunnel. Marcus walked ahead, checking the floor for loose stones, while I stayed close enough to help carry our rescued prisoner whenever Adrian needed to change his grip. Eren was barely conscious. His face had lost most of its colour, and each step seemed to cost him more strength than he had left.Behind us, the passage gave another heavy shake. I looked back, but darkness had swallowed the entrance. Cassian remained beside the opening, and the force had called him by a name from another age."Keep moving," Adrian said. "The passage will not hold much longer."We reached the outer tunnel just as a section of t

    Cassian's expression changed when the chamber stopped obeying him. For the first time since we had entered his stronghold, the High Alpha looked uncertain. The dark force rising from the opening no longer moved when he lifted his hand, and the silver markings across the walls had begun to flash without following his commands. Whatever power he believed he controlled was slipping beyond his reach."Stop!" Cassian ordered, raising his voice. "I gave you permission to awaken. You will answer me!"The chamber responded with a deep vibration that travelled through the floor. Dust fell from the ceiling, and the chains hanging beside the opening began to swing. Yet nothing moved in the direction Cassian wanted. The force continued spreading through the markings, ignoring him as if his commands meant nothing.I held Eren against the stone platform while Marcus searched for a way to release the remaining restraints. The young man was weak, and his breathing had become uneven after everything C

    I had my son in my arms, and someone else was still trapped behind us.The floor continued to split beneath our feet, sending pieces of stone into the darkness below. Noah clung to my neck while I tried to keep my balance. Across the widening crack, Eren remained chained to the sinking platform, unable to move without pulling against the restraints.“Adrian, get Noah out!” I shouted.He reached for my son, but Noah refused to release me. His frightened eyes moved between us and the prisoner.“Mom, don't leave him,” he pleaded.“I won't forget him, sweetheart. I promise.”Adrian gently took Noah from my arms. “I will get him somewhere safe. You need to move before this floor gives way.”I wanted to argue, but another section of the ceiling broke loose. Adrian held Noah against his chest and moved towards the passage we had entered through. I watched them disappear beyond the falling dust before turning back to Eren.The prisoner was struggling against his chains. His platform had tilte

    Mirael looked directly at me, but the words coming from her mouth were not hers.Through the silver mark on her skin, I could see her face clearly, even though she remained far away. Her eyes were open, but they held a coldness I had never seen in her before. The voice that came through the connection was calm and commanding.“Leave Noah where he is, Elena. The binding must remain.”I held my son closer. “Mirael, I know you can hear me.”The strange voice answered again. “You are wasting time. Remove the boy, and the other prisoner will die.”Adrian kept one hand against the guardian markings on the floor. Silver light continued moving beneath his fingers as he redirected the energy away from Noah and Eren. He looked towards me, waiting for a decision, but I could not ask him to attack Mirael. She was not our enemy. The force was using her connection to reach us, just as it had used Noah's bloodline and the false commands carried through the network.“Mirael,” I called again, “listen

    “Mom, please take me home. I don't want to stay here anymore.”Noah's weak voice hurt more than anything Cassian had done to me. His small hand held mine while the silver band around his wrist continued to glow. Eren was still trapped on the stone platform, and every time the chain around him moved, Noah flinched as if someone had struck him.I wanted to carry my son out of that room and never look back, but the binding had made that choice dangerous. Eren had already explained that their lives were connected. If I pulled Noah away without understanding the connection, I might kill both of them.“I will take you home,” I promised, brushing his tangled hair away from his forehead. “But first, we have to make sure nobody gets hurt.”“Will it stop hurting?”“I am going to do everything I can.”Adrian examined the metal device attached to Eren's platform. He had tried several ways to understand its markings, but each time his hand came close, the silver chain responded. The same reaction

    “Rowan Blackwood,” Eren repeated, while the silver chain pulled against his wrists. “He was the ruler who ordered my family erased.”For several seconds, I could not answer. My son's cries had not stopped, and the silver band around his wrist continued to glow, but the name Eren had spoken seemed to fill the entire room. Rowan Blackwood was not simply a name in an old record. It belonged to my bloodline, to a family whose history I had spent years trying to understand.Adrian moved towards the device attached to Eren's platform. “We need to stop this connection before it kills them both.”“I know,” I replied, although I had no idea how we could do that. I kept Noah close and examined the band around his wrist. The light had become weaker, but the metal still pressed against his skin. “Eren, tell me what Rowan did. I need to understand why my family wanted yours destroyed.”Eren struggled to lift his head. “The Blackwood ruler feared that our family could challenge his authority. We we
