**Krimson**

“Does Lyra plan to stop Rowan and Mikail from destroying their packs?”

Tharion’s question was direct, blunt—like a poorly aimed blow.

I stared at him.

There was no smile on my lips. There were no jokes to soften the truth.

“Lyra doesn’t plan to go back to stop them,” I finally blurted out, my voice as weary as his face. “But she is considering leaving… alone.”

I saw his body tense. For a second, I saw his soul freeze.

“What did you say?” he asked, though I knew he’d heard it all.

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 100: One Step Away from Fear, On the Brink of Love

    **Lyra**I couldn’t fall asleep.I tossed and turned in bed until I almost got tangled up in the sheets, as if something inside my chest were squeezing me.I closed my eyes and there he was… Tharion, with that crooked smile and a look filled with disappointment that pierced my soul.“You’re a fool,” I whispered to myself more than once. “A coward.”But the truth… is that I was scared to death.Scared of falling in love with him.Because that was what I was beginning to feel. Every time he spoke to me, every time he touched me… every time his eyes looked at me as if I were the most precious thing in the world.Finally, exhaustion overcame me.I woke up with the first rays of the sun illuminating my face. I blinked slowly, confused at first, as if I didn’t remember where I was.But the warmth of the room, the faint scent of wood and wet leaves, brought me back to reality.I sat up slowly, stretched, and, without thinking much about it, got up. I walked to Tharion’s room.My heart was po

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 99: If I don’t kiss you now…

    **Tharion**The moment we stepped into the room, I knew I’d gotten myself into trouble.The air between us was buzzing. Maybe it was her scent—that warm, fresh aroma mingling with the slight tremor in her fingers.Or maybe it was that silent desire I could almost taste, like a contained electric current.“Is she in heat…?” I thought, seeing her evasive eyes, the way she avoided looking directly at me. “…or is it me who’s on the verge of madness from having her so close?”My wolf howled inside me. Desire licked at my veins with savage hunger, with a dangerous urgency.I wanted to push her onto the bed, cover her with my body, feel her skin beneath my hands, her voice gasping my name.But she was pregnant. Vulnerable.I didn’t know if I could control myself… if after so long without a woman, without touching, without loving, I’d be able to stop once I started.The silence between us was thick.“Come,” I said softly, helping her sit back against the soft cushions of the bed.She obeyed w

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 98: One Room Closer

    **Lyra**For a moment, I was speechless.Tharion… had done it. He had confronted Rondalyn with a firmness that took me aback.He didn’t hesitate, he didn’t search for gentle words, he didn’t hide behind protocol. He simply confronted her and expelled her.He knew her well. He knew exactly how to handle her, how to stop her.That intimacy, even if it was to reject her, stirred something inside me. But I quickly pushed it away.It wasn’t exactly jealousy… more like an echo. A reminder that we all come with scars.We all have complicated pasts. I knew that better than anyone.What really left me speechless was his defense.“She is my guest of honor,” he had said. “And anyone who dares to bother her or disrespect her… will have to answer to her king.”My ears rang with those words. How many times had I wished for something like that in Silverbane? How many times had I wanted someone to stand up and say, “Enough”?There, I was invisible, a nuisance. Here… many bowed their heads in respect.

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 97: The She-Wolf Has Awakened

    **Lyra**Was she Tharion’s past? Seriously?I had to swallow the laughter rising in my throat as I watched that woman strut about with an air of arrogance as ridiculous as her supposed courtesy.Her arms were crossed, as if she expected the world to bow down before her, and that fake smile she flashed at me inspired more pity than fear.Had she always been this unbearable? Because if that was the kind of woman Tharion liked… well, he clearly had questionable taste.And terrible taste.I watched her closely, without blinking, noticing the slight tremor in her gaze. There was something about her that was breaking inside.Fear? Of me? She’d better be.If she thought she could treat me like an intruder, she was sorely mistaken. That Lyra who used to cower, who endured insults and scorn in Silverbane, no longer existed.I wasn’t going to let anyone—not even Tharion’s people—walk all over me again.“What’s going on?” Rondalyn asked me, with a hesitation disguised as disdain. “Why are you st

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 96: Blood Oath

    **Tharion**I couldn’t believe it.Rondalyn?Was Mikail really daring to use that name… that damn name… to provoke me?I was on the verge of grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off the ground, demanding through clenched teeth where he’d heard such nonsense.But I didn’t. I barely restrained myself and took a deep breath.The silence between us grew thick, almost suffocating. His gaze didn’t waver from mine, unflinching. Almost arrogant.But then I saw the shift: a spark of disappointment. A hint of frustration.Perfect.I held back a smile that rose in my throat like smoke from a controlled bonfire.“You shouldn’t be spreading baseless rumors, Mikail,” I said finally, my voice as sharp as a dagger. That woman is no relation of mine. She has no place in my life or on my lands.The bastard raised an eyebrow with feigned innocence.“Oh? Then I invite you to return to Wolvencrest right now and see for yourself,” he challenged me, crossing his arms as if he’d already won something.

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 95: When the Past Catches Up with the King

    **Mikail**The wind carried the scent of fertile soil and moisture… a sign that I was nearing the borders of King Lycan’s kingdom.Every step I took in my Maserati brought me closer to my goal: finding Lyra. There was too much distance between us, and I needed to see her.I needed to know if what I feared was true.But then, they appeared out of nowhere. Men in dark clothes, with golden symbols on their chests and that arrogance of those who serve power.A group of soldiers blocked my path like a living wall.I needed no explanation. I recognized their insignia. They were part of Tharion’s royal guard.“Of course… he’s not going to let me get close to her.”I stopped my car with a barely audible growl, though rage was throbbing in my jaw.I wanted to see her. Even if I couldn’t convince her to return to Silverbane, even if she refused me a thousand times… I needed to confirm with my own eyes whether she and Tharion…No. It couldn’t be.But something didn’t add up.“Where is she?” I mu
