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

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

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

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

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

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
