The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 120: The Abyss Between Us
**Lyra**The diaper in my hands still carried the dry scent of blood.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t even burn.Something inside me broke in silence, with the violence of a windless storm. I felt the room blurring.The walls were closing in. And all I could hear was my own breath… broken.I had loved that baby with all my soul. I had felt it growing inside me.And now, that simple piece of red-stained cloth told me the wound was still open. That what had been taken from me was not only a child, but also my peace.Tharion appeared in the doorway.His eyes, wild at first, softened the moment he saw me. He knelt beside me.He said nothing. He didn’t touch me. But his presence weighed on me. Because I loved him. And because it hurt.“Who…?” was all I could manage to say, my voice hoarse.Tharion looked down.“I don’t know… yet. But I swear I’ll find out.”I looked at him, searching for a crack in his armor, something that would let me trust again. But I found only the refl
The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 119: Truths and Ashes
**Tharion**I was alone in my office, pacing back and forth.I needed to take action; I had to be a better leader and a better comrade, and the best course was to stand firm in my decision. The traitors weren’t going to get away with it.I sent for the most loyal of my men, one in whom I had more trust than in all the council members combined: my Beta, Iryan.He was attentive and helpful as always, momentarily reminding me of Krimson, Mikail’s former Beta. That bastard was trying to wear down my already thin patience and good faith.“Dispel the rumors,” I ordered Iryan without raising my voice, though the fire was already raging in my veins. “Let the council know that to question their Moon is to question their King. And if they have anything to say… let them come and say it to my face.”Iryan nodded without a word, but I saw the spark of loyalty in his eyes. The kind of loyalty born of respect… or of fear.I didn’t care which of the two drove him, as long as he obeyed.No one in that
The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 118: The Weight of Silence
**Tharion**The council chamber reeks of fear masquerading as concern.“The Moon blesses them, but the Moon also makes them dangerous,” says Halrik, his voice neutral but his eyes fixed on me. Some among the people are beginning to murmur… that the current Moon, your companion, has been too relentless.Too much.Too wild.Too fiery.Too much Moon.“And you?” I ask in a low voice, though power trembles behind my tongue. “Do you think that too?”Halrik hesitates. He doesn’t answer. But the silence speaks volumes.I look around. There is unease. Some avoid my gaze. Others hold it with the arrogance of those who think they know better. But they are all nervous. Not just because of Lyra. But because of what she represents.A Moon who does not kneel.A Moon who does not break.A Moon that burns.And I… I am torn between protecting her from all of them and protecting her from myself.Because I know Lyra needs to see our dead son. I’ve known it for days.I knew it from the moment my hands tre
The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 117: The Truth You Owed Me
**Lyra**My son feeds eagerly at my breast, with a strength that makes me tremble. He is perfect… warm, tiny, yet full of life. His own.I close my eyes as I nurse him, feeling the constant suction on my breast and the stabbing pain in my soul. Every time I touch him, every time I hold him… I can’t help but think of the one who isn’t here.My other cub.My little one.And now I know—I finally know—that it wasn’t simply a tragedy of fate. It was an act. A decision. A sacrifice.Tharion told me this in that deep, restrained voice, his jaw tense, as if each word cost him more than the last. *“Your first baby absorbed most of the poison. He did it to protect you. You… and his brother.”*I was left breathless. I didn’t cry. I didn’t even scream. I just felt my insides shatter into a million shards that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to put back together.My son… my baby… chose to die so that we might live?The weight of that truth crushes my chest more than any dagger.And then comes th
The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 116: What She Still Kept Silent
**Tharion**I approach Lyra with steady steps, but my heart pounds in my chest as if trying to warn me. She is standing in the center of that circle, which has turned into a training ground.Her eyes are fixed on Mikail, who is being dragged away by the guards, but her expression… is different. It’s that of an open wound that doesn’t want to bleed in front of anyone.“Are you okay?” I ask in a low voice, trying not to invade her space, though I’m desperate to hold her.“Yes,” she says, without looking at me. Steadfast. Cold.Lie.The way she keeps her lips pressed together, the tension in her shoulders… it’s the same as that night when she believed the baby had died because of her.I know her. All too well.I want to suggest suspending the punishment, letting her recover. But she lifts her chin and shakes her head subtly.“Don’t stop him. She deserves it.”However, before I can answer, Calista’s voice shatters the atmosphere with a venomous gasp:“How sweet. The broken she-wolf defend
The Rejected Mate Returns Chapter 115: What I Lost
**Mikail**“How can she have that power… if she was rejected twice by two Alphas and lost her wolf?” Sienna snapped at my side, trembling, though her voice was dripping with venom.But I can’t stop looking at her.At Lyra.The flame emanating from her body is real. An energy that vibrates in the air, shattering everything around her.She looks different.No, not just different… reborn. She reigns in her posture, in her impassive gaze, in the way no one dares to contradict her.And I... I can only feel the brutal weight of regret crushing down on me.“What did I do?”I...I had let her go.I took away what was rightfully hers. I denied her the title of Luna. I failed her.I always thought Rowan was the only one who failed to see her worth. But now… Tharion had called her his queen.And everyone here seemed to bow to that truth. They treated her with respect, with fear… with reverence.I had only sown pain.And that thought pierced my soul.“Lyra…” I took a step toward her, my words com
