Alder's POV

I was staring at the map spread across my desk, my fingers resting on the edge of it while my mind drifted far from the lines and markings in front of me, when the door opened without warning.

I did not need to look up immediately.

The presence alone was enough.

James.

The air shifted slightly, heavier, colder, and I finally lifted my gaze just in time to see him walk in with a brown envelope in his hand, his expression neutral in a way that felt unfamiliar, distant in a way that s

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   chapter 43

    Adella's POV I dragged in a sharp breath that scraped painfully through my throat as my eyes fluttered open to nothing but dim light and a ceiling that looked unfamiliar, my head pounding like something heavy had been slammed into it over and over again, and for a moment I could not even remember where I was or how I got there until the ache in my limbs reminded me that I had been here for far too long without rest, without food, without anything that could pass for comfort.My lips were dry, cracked to the point where even trying to swallow felt like I was forcing sand down my throat, and I let out a weak sound that barely passed as a groan while shifting slightly against the surface beneath me, only to realize that my wrists were bound tightly, the ropes biting into my skin as though they were alive and eager to keep me pinned in place.What day was it?How long have I been here?I could not tell.Time had blurred into something meaningless, something cruel that stretched endlessly

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 42

    Alder's POV I was staring at the map spread across my desk, my fingers resting on the edge of it while my mind drifted far from the lines and markings in front of me, when the door opened without warning.I did not need to look up immediately.The presence alone was enough.James.The air shifted slightly, heavier, colder, and I finally lifted my gaze just in time to see him walk in with a brown envelope in his hand, his expression neutral in a way that felt unfamiliar, distant in a way that still unsettled me no matter how many times I saw it.He did not greet me.He simply walked forward and dropped the envelope on my desk.The sound echoed lightly.I stared at it for a moment before looking back up at him.“How long is this going to continue?” I asked, my voice calm but carrying a weight I could not fully hide.He tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk forming on his lips, though it did not reach his eyes.“Alpha,” he said slowly, emphasizing the title just enough to make it feel

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Forty One

    Adella's POV The journey had been longer than I expected, yet somehow it did not feel exhausting the way I thought it would.Maybe it was because of Tera.Or maybe it was because this was the first time in a long while that I felt like I was breathing without pressure sitting heavily on my chest every second.I sat on the branch of a large tree, gripping it tightly while glaring down at Tera who stood below with both hands on her waist, staring at me with complete disappointment.“You are seriously embarrassing me right now,” she said.I narrowed my eyes.“You are the one who forced me up here,” I complained.She rolled her eyes dramatically.“For the hundredth time, I did not force you,” she replied. “I simply told you climbing trees is useful.”I scoffed softly.“Useful for who exactly?” I asked. “Monkeys?”Tera burst into laughter immediately, bending slightly while clutching her stomach.“Oh, the future Lycan heiress is scared of trees?” she teased.“I am not scared,” I snapped q

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Forty

    Alder's POV I did not realize how tightly I had been gripping the edge of my desk until my fingers began to ache.The report lay open in front of me, the ink staring back at me like it expected a reaction I was not ready to give, and I exhaled slowly, leaning back in my chair as I pressed my fingers against my temple, trying to steady the thoughts that refused to arrange themselves in any meaningful way.I let my hand fall back to the desk before lifting my gaze toward the door.“Edrick,” I called.The door opened almost immediately, as though he had been waiting outside, and he stepped in with his usual composed expression, bowing his head slightly.“My Alpha?” he responded.“Send for the council,” I said, my voice steady despite the tension lingering beneath it. “I want them gathered now.”He nodded without hesitation.“It will be done,” he replied before stepping out again.I leaned back once more, letting out a quiet breath as I stared at the ceiling, my thoughts drifting unwilli

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Thirty Nine

    Adella's POV I stood in the middle of my room, staring at the small bag resting on the edge of the bed, my fingers still gripping the fabric as though letting go of it would suddenly make everything feel too real.Was I truly ready for this?The question lingered quietly in my mind as I drew in a slow breath, my eyes moving across the room that had started to feel less foreign over the past weeks, a place that had slowly begun to accept me even when I had not fully accepted myself.I tightened my hold on the strap of the bag before finally releasing it, pressing my lips together as I glanced at the mirror beside the wardrobe, my reflection staring back at me with a calm I was not sure I truly felt.“You cannot keep standing there forever, Adella,” I muttered softly to myself, lifting a hand to brush a strand of hair away from my face as I let out a quiet breath.I had packed only what I needed.Clothes that would not slow me down.A few essentials.Nothing unnecessary.Because this w

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter Thirty Eight

    Alder's POV I was already irritated before she walked in.The documents spread across my desk had barely held my attention for more than a few minutes, my eyes moving over the words without truly reading them, my mind drifting back to everything that had happened at the Lycan kingdom, to the face I could not erase no matter how hard I tried, to the way my chest had tightened when I saw her standing there alive, untouched, powerful in a way I had never imagined.Adella.I clenched my jaw slightly, forcing myself to look back down at the parchment in front of me, but the letters blurred together, meaningless under the weight of my thoughts.Then the door burst open.I did not need to look up to know who it was.“What nonsense did you tell my father?”Lilian’s voice cut through the room, sharp and demanding, her heels striking the floor as she walked in without waiting for permission, her presence as intrusive as always.I leaned back slightly in my chair, lifting my gaze to meet hers,

    Brooke's POVI pushed the heavy doors open harder than necessary and they slammed loudly against the stone wall behind them, the sound echoing through the corridor while the guards stationed outside my mother’s quarters immediately straightened the moment they saw my face. The anger inside my chest

    I closed my eyes for a moment because the anger inside my chest was starting to feel like something alive and breathing, something warm and suffocating that pressed against my ribs whenever I thought about the way Brooke spoke to me as if I were some broken thing he could kick aside whenever it ple
