Alder's POV

The words Lilian had just spoken did not settle into my mind immediately because there are moments when the human body reacts before the mind fully understands what has been said, and I could feel my chest tightening slowly while my gaze remained fixed on her face as if I were waiting for her to laugh and admit that the sentence she had just spoken was some twisted joke meant to provoke me.

“I know Adella was your mate.”

The hallway suddenly felt smaller.

My heartbeat grew louder i

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   chapter 58

    Brooke's POV I sat on the edge of my silk upholstered mattress, a slow and deeply satisfied smile spreading across my lips as I watched the amber light from the hearth dance along the stone walls of my chambers. The memory of Adella’s spectacular exit from the grand hall was still fresh in my mind, her laughter ringing out like a death knell to her own political ambitions. My mother, Mabel, was pacing frantically back and forth across the thick rug, her silk skirts rustling with every sharp turn she made as she clutched a lace handkerchief tightly in her fist."We had an incredibly narrow escape today, Brooke, and I need you to understand exactly how close we came to absolute ruin because of your impatience," she said, stopping to glare at me with a mixture of residual terror and maternal fury coloring her sharp features. "The next time you decide to take it upon yourself to keep someone out of the way to secure your future, you will discuss the entire plan with me first and you abso

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 57

    Adella's POVWhen we finally reached the privacy of my personal chambers, I helped her onto the plush velvet sofa near the hearth, immediately reaching for a soft wool blanket to wrap around her shivering frame. I knelt in front of her, my hands gently covering her own as I looked up into her pale, tear-stained face with a soft, reassuring expression."Did he hurt you in any other way, Tera?" I asked, my voice dropping to a gentle register that was reserved only for her. "Did Brooke or any of his men attempt to lay a hand on you while you were trapped in that outpost, or was it truly just the isolation and the restraint?"Tera shook her head slowly, a single tear escaping her eye and tracing a path down her bruised cheek before she managed to swallow the lump in her throat. "He only wanted to use me as a leverage against you, Adella, but the fear of what they might do to you while I was gone was far worse than any physical pain they could have inflicted on me."I squeezed her hands fi

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 56

    Adella's POV I stood in the center of the grand judgment hall, the weight of the elders’ prejudice pressing down on the room like a physical suffocating blanket. I tried to speak, my lips parting as I prepared to force them to acknowledge the blatant hypocrisy of their ancient laws, but the Lycan King raised his heavy hand and cut me short before a single word could escape my throat."You have punished Brooke enough with your accusations and your display of anger, Adella, and we must look at the reality of what has transpired here today," Adolf declared, his deep voice rumbling through the stone rafters as he shifted his massive frame on the throne. "By the way, he has fully admitted to his crimes and has shown true remorse for his childish actions, so he will be placed under strict house arrest for two weeks in his quarters to retract his steps and contemplate the gravity of his errors."The sheer absurdity of his words echoed through the silent chamber, hitting my ears with such a

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   chapter 55

    Brooke's POV The silence in the grand hall was heavy, pressing down on my chest until every breath felt like a chore. I looked at the polished stone floor, my vision blurring as the tears finally spilled over my eyelashes and ran hot down my cheeks. My voice broke completely, a ragged, desperate sound that I could barely control as I looked up at the dais where my future was being decided."I never meant to permanently break her or cause this kind of ruin, Father," I sobbed, my shoulders shaking violently as I clutched the fabric of my tunic. "I was only trying to find a way to get back at Sigil and Adella because they have been acting so smug to me ever since the voting concluded. I understand completely now that my actions were childish and foolish, but please believe that I did not intend for things to escalate to this level of disaster."My hands were trembling so badly that I had to press them against my thighs to hide the shaking. I could see the disgust on Adella’s face, her e

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   chapter 54

    I could still hear the shocked murmurs behind me as I dragged Brooke out of the council hall. His arm was trapped firmly in my grip and no matter how much he struggled, I refused to let go. "Release me!" Brooke jerked backward. "Have you finally lost your mind?" I tightened my hold and continued walking. The guards lining the corridor immediately lowered their heads when they saw me. Nobody dared interfere. Nobody dared speak. Behind us, I could hear Mabel's frantic voice. "Your Majesty, you cannot allow this!" I did not stop walking. I knew exactly who she was talking to. A few moments earlier she had rushed toward the Lycan King and Queen as though she had just witnessed a tragedy. I had not remained long enough to hear the entire discussion, but my hearing was sharp enough to catch some of it. "She cannot simply assault him like this!" Mabel's voice had trembled with outrage. The Lycan Queen had remained silent. The Lycan King had looked at me for

  • The Rejected Lycan Heiress: He rejected her, she claimed his   Chapter 53

    Adella's POV I climbed into the carriage with my jaw clenched so tightly that it hurt. My emotions were all over the place, yet I forced myself to sit upright and maintain the composure expected of the Lycan Heiress. Just as the carriage began to move, one of the guards riding alongside us nudged his horse closer and lowered his voice."My lady, Commander Sigil, asked us to pass through the barren land before returning to the palace."I turned toward him immediately."Why?"The guard glanced around before answering."Traces of Brooke's men were discovered there, and one of the scouts also found a tag bearing the crest of Alpha Alder's pack."My stomach tightened."Alder's pack?""Yes, my lady."For a brief moment I stared ahead through the carriage window before nodding."Tell everyone to move at full speed.""Yes, my lady."The carriage lurched forward.Nobody spoke after that.The silence felt heavy.My mind kept drifting back to Tera.Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered her
