Brooke’s POV

I sat at the long dining table with a composed expression that did not match the storm raging inside my chest, my fingers tapping lightly against the polished surface as I watched the council members seated around me pretend they were not already swayed by what I had been offering them all evening.

The room was warm, filled with the scent of roasted meat and spiced wine, yet none of that mattered to me because this was not a meal, this was a negotiation, and every single person se

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 49

    Brooke’s POV I sat at the long dining table with a composed expression that did not match the storm raging inside my chest, my fingers tapping lightly against the polished surface as I watched the council members seated around me pretend they were not already swayed by what I had been offering them all evening.The room was warm, filled with the scent of roasted meat and spiced wine, yet none of that mattered to me because this was not a meal, this was a negotiation, and every single person seated here knew exactly why they had been invited.“You seem distracted, Prince Brooke,” one of the elders said, raising a brow slightly as he lifted his cup.I forced a faint smile, leaning back in my seat as I picked up my own glass, swirling the liquid slowly before taking a sip.“Do I?” I asked calmly, tilting my head as though I found his observation amusing.Another council member chuckled softly. “It is understandable, is it not? Today is the seventh day.”A faint silence followed that sta

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   chapter 48

    Adella's POV The air in the chamber felt thick with the remnants of my recent panic, but as I sat on the edge of the bed, the warmth of Tera’s hand in mine provided the only steady foundation I had left. I looked over at Alder, who was still leaning against the window frame with an expression of detached curiosity that made my skin itch. I knew what I had to do, and while the decision felt like a jagged stone in my throat, it was the only way to ensure that the people I loved survived the madness of this mission. I took a deep breath, smoothing the wrinkled fabric of my tunic before I looked Alder directly in the eyes, my voice coming out steadier than I actually felt."Alder, you mentioned that I owe you a favor for saving my life, and while I am loath to admit it, you are right that I cannot repay that debt while I am lying in this bed," I began, my gaze shifting briefly to Tera before returning to him. "I am asking you for a favor now, one that I will add to the tally of what I ow

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 47

    Brooke's POV The heavy scent of cedar and old parchment hung thick in the air of the Grand Council Chamber, a room designed specifically to make everyone who entered it feel small and insignificant. I sat in my high backed chair, my fingers tracing the ornate carvings on the armrests while I watched the flicker of the torches against the stone walls. My father, the Lycan King Adolf, sat at the head of the table with his expression unreadable, a mountain of a man whose silence was often more terrifying than his roar. Across from me, the Lycan Queen looked poised and regal, though I could see the slight tension in her jaw that betrayed her growing unease. I waited for the right moment, for that specific lull in the political chatter of the elders, before I cleared my throat to draw the attention of every wolf in the room toward me."Father, if I may interrupt the discussion regarding the southern borders for a moment to address a more pressing concern that has been weighing on my mind

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 46

    Adella's POV The sunlight pierced through the narrow slats of the window like needles of molten gold, stabbing directly into my eyes as I fought to peel my eyelids open. I groaned, the sound vibrating through my skull and intensifying the rhythmic pounding that felt as though a blacksmith was using my temples for an anvil. My palm flew to my forehead, pressing hard against the skin in a desperate attempt to hold my brain inside my head while the room spun in nauseating circles. Every breath I took felt heavy, smelling of damp earth and some sharp, medicinal herb that made my stomach churn with a sudden, violent protest. I sat up slowly, feeling the bed beneath me shift and groan, a stark contrast to the silence that otherwise dominated the space. My memory was a fragmented mess of dark trees and the guttural, terrifying sounds of pursuit, but I couldn't quite grasp the moment everything had gone black."Adella?" a voice whispered, the sound low and gravelly, cutting through the haze

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 45

    Brooke’s POV The air in the western wing of the palace always felt heavier than the rest of the estate, thick with the scent of lilies and the underlying metallic tang of old secrets. I pushed open the heavy oak doors to my mother’s private chambers, my boots clicking rhythmically against the polished marble floor. The sound echoed, a sharp reminder of the ticking clock that seemed to be drumming inside my skull. Mabel was seated by the arched window, the afternoon sun casting long, skeletal shadows across her face as she stared out toward the jagged peaks of the northern range. She didn't turn when I entered, her hands folded tightly in her lap, her knuckles white against the dark velvet of her gown."Has there been any word from the border?" I asked, my voice cutting through the stifling silence of the room. I didn't bother with pleasantries, my nerves were frayed to the point of snapping. "Did the scouts send a messenger, or perhaps a hawk from the valley? Surely one of our conta

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 44

    Alder's POV I stood in the center of my office long after the council meeting had ended, my thoughts still tangled around the reports spread across my desk. The inked markings on the map felt heavier than they should have, as though every line was a reminder of how many things were slipping beyond control in the territories we were responsible for.Edrick had already left after reporting the last surveillance update, and the silence he left behind only made my thoughts louder. The rogue activity near the border had increased again, and the pattern was no longer random. Someone was organizing them, guiding them, turning scattered threats into something far more deliberate.I exhaled slowly, pressing my fingers against my temple when the door opened without warning.James walked in like he owned the air in the room, his expression unreadable but his presence impossible to ignore. He did not wait for permission before stepping closer and placing a sealed report on my desk.“You look lik
