The Rejected Prisoner Who Became the Alpha King's Mate Chapter 52
Lyra’s POVKael dragged me out of the mansion without giving me another chance to speak.I knew where we were going.Ironmoor and I've never felt scared in my whole life.The moment he grabbed my wrist and started pulling me toward the gates, I knew exactly what he had planned. There was no need for him to say it. I had spent three years behind those walls. I knew the road. I knew the smell of the prison before we even reached it.What I didn't know was how I was going to survive being sent back there after finally tasting what freedom felt like.My eyes burned as I climbed into the vehicle but I didn't cry….not this time.I sat against the window, my hands folded tightly in my lap while Kael took the driver's seat. He slammed the door and started the engine so violently that the vehicle jerked forward.I stared through the window as the Ashbourne mansion disappeared behind us but my thoughts weren't on the prison.They were on Zaren.I could still remember the way he looked at me whe

Zaren’s POVThe prison officer wouldn't stop sweating.He had been wiping his forehead with the back of his hand for the past five minutes, but it did nothing to hide the fear gathering in his eyes.I sat across from him inside the small administrative office of Ironmoor Prison, one ankle resting over my knee, my hands folded loosely against my stomach.The room smelled like stale coffee, damp stone, and old paperwork.A ceiling fan rattled above us, barely moving the warm air.Behind the officer, shelves were packed with files. Some were tied together with faded strings, others were stacked so high that they leaned dangerously against one another.I had already read enough of them to know exactly what kind of place Ironmoor was.Not every person behind those walls belonged there.That was the part that had made my blood boil.The officer swallowed as he looked at me “I don't understand why you're asking me about those files.”I looked at him. “You don't have to understand.”His finge

Lyra’s POV“What the hell is going on here?”Kael's voice thundered through the mansion.My fork stopped halfway to my mouth.Across from me, Selene went completely still, and for the first time since she had stormed into my room, I saw something other than anger on her face.I slowly lowered my fork onto my plate.The empty mansion suddenly felt much smaller.Kael's footsteps came closer, heavy and furious, until his shadow stretched across the doorway.He appeared a moment later.His eyes moved from Selene to me, then to the food scattered across the table. His expression hardened when he noticed the boxes stacked around my room.He stepped inside. “Where is everyone?”Neither of us answered immediately, Kael's gaze moved toward the hallway and the silence seemed to irritate him even more.“Why is this entire mansion empty?” he demanded, his voice rising as he looked at Selene. “Where are the guards? Where are the servants? Why did I have to walk through this entire house without se
The Rejected Prisoner Who Became the Alpha King's Mate Chapter 49
Lyra’s POVMy door slammed open, and I nearly dropped the fork in my hand.I looked up, and my stomach tightened when I saw Selene standing in the doorway.Her eyes were red, her breathing was heavy, and silver claws had pushed through her fingertips. She looked as if she had been running through the mansion looking for someone to blame, and judging by the way her gaze immediately swept across my room, I knew exactly who that someone was.Her eyes stopped on the table in front of me. Then they moved around the room.The gifts stacked beside my bed and for a moment, she simply stared. I couldn't blame her for being surprised.I was still surprised myself.Just a short while ago, I had been sitting on the edge of my bed crying after Kael took me away from Silver Crest. I had been trying to convince myself that maybe this was simply how my life was going to be. Every time something good happened, someone came along and reminded me that I was still the unwanted daughter of Ashbourne.Then

Selene’s POV“What?”“You heard me right,” my mother said.The woman stood near the bedroom door with both hands clasped tightly in front of her, her voice lowered even though there was nobody else in the room.“Everyone is gone, Selene. The mansion is empty. The servants have been dismissed, the guards are gone, and before Kael comes back, it is going to be too late to act. I am telling you to drop this before it becomes something neither of us can control.”I sat at the vanity, slowly dragging a brush through my hair.I didn't look at my mother.The brush moved from the crown of my head to the ends, smoothing strands that didn't need smoothing. My reflection stared back at me from the mirror, perfectly composed despite the irritation burning beneath my skin.“You're part of this family now,” my mother continued. “They love you. They accepted you as their daughter, and you have everything you wanted. What you should be thinking about is how to secure your place inside the Ashbourne f

Selene’s POVI couldn't sit still.I had crossed my bedroom so many times that the carpet beneath my feet might as well have memorized my footsteps. Every few seconds, I glanced toward the door as though Lyra might suddenly burst through it with a miracle in her hands.She has Six days, only six days.My nails dug into my palms.“Why does she have to be so damn stubborn?” I muttered, turning toward my friend. “Why can't she do one simple thing for me and for herself? If she cooperates, she walks away from all of this. She gets her freedom, I get what I want, and everyone wins.”My friend sat on the edge of my bed, watching me pace.“She threw the poison away,” I continued, my voice climbing with frustration. “Do you understand how insane that is? Kael gave her one job.”My friend shifted uncomfortably.“Selene, I know how badly you want the Alpha King, but what happened at the tournament was risky and—”“Shut up.”She stopped and I turned toward her.“We're not trying to kill him.”My
