**Lyra**

The air smelled of smoke, and echoes of chaos were beginning to seep in through the small window.

Screams. Manic laughter. Thuds. The unmistakable creak of splintering wood and the sound of running footsteps.

I clutched my belly, feeling the rapid heartbeats of my cubs, as if they could sense the fear growing inside me.

“It’s horrible out there, my girl…” Ava murmured as she pulled the curtains shut tightly. “We should stay here.”

I nodded, though deep down, something inside me didn’t

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 110: Wolvencrest, the Eye of the Storm

    **Lyra**I breathe.But I don’t feel alive.The air fills my lungs and stays there, heavy, thick… useless. My chest hurts, my throat burns, and yet… all I do is breathe. I feel nothing.I feel no life.Except for the weight.The small, warm weight they’ve placed in my arms.My fingers tremble as they wrap around his tiny body, so fragile, so soft, so real. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.I don’t know if I should cry or smile. My soul doesn’t react, only my body, which holds him with a stiffness that frightens me.“He’s yours, Lyra,” a voice whispers to me. Tharion. He’s there, like a faithful shadow, with reddened eyes and his soul hanging from his shoulders.I look at the baby. I look at that golden hair, that perfect little nose… and I realize I don’t recognize him. I don’t feel him as mine.Or worse still… I feel like I’m missing half of myself.Because… it wasn’t one. It was two.“Just one…” I whisper, unable to contain the tremor in my voice.Tharion steps closer, as if tho

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 109: Just One

    **Tharion**“Just one…” Lyra whispered, her eyes fixed on the baby she held in her arms.Her voice was barely audible, but her words were like knives that pierced my skin.I saw her lips tremble, a silent tear slide down her cheek, and felt the air grow thick.Her sadness weighed so heavily it filled the entire room.I knelt beside the bed, afraid to get any closer, afraid to breathe too loudly and break her even more than she already was.“Lyra…” I said in a hoarse voice, as if I’d swallowed ashes. “Please… look at me.”But she didn’t. Her eyes were lost somewhere beyond reality. Somewhere where her soul was bleeding out.I wanted to hug her, but I didn’t dare. What right did I have?I should have stopped it.I should have known that witch Calista wouldn’t stop.I hate her.I hate her with every fiber of my being.The way she looked at Lyra with that glint of envy… no wonder she stole her fiancé Rowan just to hurt her. I could see the venom seeping from her even when she smiled.And

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 108: The Most Painful Loss

    **Tharion**Never in my life had I felt so desperate.Not even when Rondalyn left me for her Mate, breaking the promises we’d made to each other as young people. Not even when I found myself alone, broken, watching her take another’s hand as if mine had never been there.That hurt, yes.But this…This was tearing me apart from the inside.Lyra was dying.And my cubs with her.I paced back and forth in front of the medical room door, my fists clenched, my nails digging into my palms.I couldn’t even breathe properly. I paced in front of the door over and over, feeling my chest break with every second that passed without news.The walls were suffocating me. The air felt heavy. The smell of blood, of medicine, of fear… permeated everything.“Damn you, Calista!” I growled, my chest trembling. “This was surely your doing. I swear I’ll rip your throat out with my own claws…”I wanted to scream. I wanted to burst into that room and take Lyra with me, snatch her from the clutches of fate and

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 107: The Poison Among Us

    **Tharion**Calista’s voice cut through the air like a rusty blade slicing through raw flesh.“Aren’t those pups from Alpha Mikail of the Silverbane pack?”The room erupted in whispers. Low hisses that spread like poisonous gas throughout the room. The kind of noise that precedes a fire.Some recognized her face. Others didn’t know who she was, but they sensed it.The ice in the air. The poison in her voice.“Who let her in?” someone whispered behind me. Isn’t she Moonfang’s Moon?“No, she was deposed and sent to prison,” another voice replied.“I thought she was dead,” an elder added, confused.“Silverbane…? Are they claiming the pups?” asked a warrior from the right row, his gaze full of doubt.I felt Lyra stiffen beside me. Silent. Tense. She wanted to speak, but couldn’t. Her lips parted without a sound.So I did it for her.I stepped forward. The ground seemed to creak beneath my boots.“Don’t ever say that again,” I growled.My voice wasn’t a shout, but it was a command. It spre

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 106: The Weight of Fire

    **Lyra**The floorboards creaked beneath my feet as I walked through the meeting hall.My heart was pounding, as if it were about to burst out of my chest. Not out of fear—not exactly—but because of the uncertainty that weighed on my bones.I wanted to be here. I wanted to stay by Tharion’s side. But… was I ready to give myself completely, body and soul?He walked beside me, his presence imposing and calm, as if nothing could touch him. As if nothing affected him. Or perhaps… he just hid it better than I did.When we crossed the threshold, all conversation fell silent. All eyes fell upon me.Some with curiosity, others with admiration… and a few, very few, with barely concealed disdain.I forced myself to hold my head high.There was an unspoken respect hanging in the air. No one dared to say anything, at least not out loud, not with Tharion present.His fame cast a shadow as long as his lineage.“The white-flame she-wolf,” someone whispered near the far right.I didn’t turn around, t

  • The Rejected Mate Returns   Chapter 105: Shadows of the Past and Lurking Threats

    **Lyra**The silence in the room felt deafening to me.I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers interlaced in my lap. The meeting with the council had begun.I bit my lip, a pang of anxiety throbbing in my chest.I knew it would be a tense moment. Chaotic, even.The elders weren’t exactly known for their compassion, much less for their openness toward a rejected she-wolf with pups sired by another male.He had told me he would be on my side. That he wouldn’t let anyone hurt me. But… what if they forced him? What if his loyalty to the pack outweighed his promise to me?A lump formed in my throat, and I gently placed a hand on my belly, as if the tiny heartbeats inside me could give me answers.Since when did the idea of leaving hurt so much? Since when was it no longer just gratitude I felt for Tharion?I forced myself to take a deep breath.Maybe everything that had happened between us was the result of a hormonal surge. An animal instinct.I had promised myself I’d never fall in love
