ALPHA REXTON

~<>~

“This is awesome.”

Dahlia whisper-yelled to me as we stepped into the party, her excitement rolling off her. Her face brightened up with every step we took deeper into the sea of desperate Alphas and Lunas.

It’s our first outing together in years, so I understand her happiness.

To her, this is a debut.

Her one chance to show the world she is the woman beside the most feared Alpha in the territories. But to me, it is just another room full of people who would stab me in the

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   121. Chosen Mates

    SERAPHINA~~“Come in…” Unlike the past few times Serena or anyone had caught Kieran and me in positions friends shouldn’t be in, I didn’t panic as I permitted Serena to enter my chamber. Not that she needed the permission… after all, she was the Lycan Queen. I remained in Kieran’s arms even as Serena pushed the door open and didn’t try to get up until his eyes landed on us. Huh, yes… she had to see that I was sure of Kieran and that I would never hurt him just because Rexton was my first love. “First loves are beautiful, but who said seconds can’t be better?” Kia said into my mind while she watched Serena’s eyes pop. While the later years of my relationship with Rexton were anything but beautiful, we had our good years, and cherishing them is the only thing I could do henceforth as I moved on. “It looks like I shouldn’t be here,” Serena exclaimed, but I could see the small smile dancing on her lips. Kieran chuckled, staring down at me as I pushed myself out of his arms. “Yo

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   120. Locked In

    SERAPHINA~~“Now I want to press my lips against yours. Kiss you tenderly until you melt in my arms, clinging to me like you can't get enough of me.”Not once in my wildest dream would I have thought that Kieran, the humble, gentle, loyal man who had always been by my side, would say those words to me. When I perceived his scent by my door earlier, my heart had quickened, anticipation and uncertainty clouding my mind.I didn’t know what to do or what to say to him… not when I feared that I would hurt him. Not when everyone believed that I would, including my brother and sister-in-law. But all of those seemed unimportant when I curled up into his arms… when he looked into my eyes and said those words, putting everything we already had on the line. And definitely not when he cut me off, pressing his lips to mine and swallowing every word I had left to say to him. Before that moment, I anticipated, wondering if a kiss from him would calm the storm in my heart and confirm the kind

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   119. KIERAN’S POV (11)

    KIERAN~~Damon and I returned to the palace late last night, but even though I saw that Ina’s lights were still on, I didn’t go to her. Not because I didn’t want to spend another night in her bed. But because I understood that she needed space and time to think about me… or if possible, about us.I didn’t want to mount unnecessary pressure on her. If she was going to truly choose me as her mate, it had to be her own decision. “But you are still here,” Alan called my bluff, scanning Ina’s door through my eyes. Yes, I had waited all night, and apparently, that was how long I could wait. That was how long my heart, body, and soul could last against the curiosity, need for answers, and yearning to see her again. “Blame it on the mark she gave me,” I murmured to my Lycan. Alan scoffed, but before he could utter another word, I knocked on Ina’s door, and we both waited to get her permission to come in. But instead of that, we heard footsteps, sounding closer by the second, and s

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   118. Platonic Love?

    SERAPHINA~~While Kieran and I were able to keep the whole mark and chosen mate thing from Damon and Serena before the council meeting, I knew we wouldn’t escape the taunting that would come right after the meeting. In fact, I was shocked we made it back to the palace before Damon asked the obvious question with a big grin on his face. And Serena? She squealed, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell us?” I didn’t know what to say to them… or more appropriately, how to say what I had in mind. Do I plainly state that I had used Kieran as a tool? Or do I tell them that I still didn’t know where Kieran and I would go from here, despite marking him? “You both can’t go mute now. You have to tell us everything.” Damon jammed his hands together right before my eyes, snapping me out of my daze. Serena nodded eagerly and announced, “I will go get tea. My mate and I need the full details of how you two did this under our noses.”Fortunately, Kieran stopped them both, eyes cutting to me before

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   117. KIERAN’S POV (10)

    KIERAN~~I would never forget that night… that moment…. That second that Ina looked me in the eye and asked me a question I never thought she would ask in a million years. At least not in that manner. “Will you mark me, Kieran?”I would never forget the feelings that exploded within me after I heard her say those words to me. Nothing could have prepared me for the sharpness of the shock, then the recovery that led to disbelief.And then to this question that still remained in my head even up till this moment. “Do you want me to mark you, Ina?” Because I would mark her. After all, I knew what I wanted, but I had never been sure of what she wanted, and hearing that question from her pumped mixed feelings into my system, making me feel as if I had won but at the same time lost something invaluable. I recall the anticipation that seized me in that moment, eyes watching her in her bedroom as I waited for her response. But as seconds turned into minutes of silence and reluctance, a

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   116. His, Not Mine

    ALPHA REXTON~~Her words… Seraphina's words hung in the air like a guillotine blade.And I stood there, frozen like my neck was trapped underneath the blade that would be falling any moment from now. Hell! The blade had fallen and had done the deed, but I was yet to accept it. I couldn’t accept. There was no way in hell I was ever going to accept it. “T-that’s a lie!” I breathed, shaking my head as my sight became blurred as if I had hit my head against one of the countless mountains in the Lycan Realm. My body trembled, fingers shaking and lips quivering even as I screamed, “YOU ARE LYING! DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH YOU WOULD TELL A LIE TO YOUR COUNCIL?” Of course, I knew this wasn’t the right move…. Alpha Rexton, the version that was cool, calm, and collected, would know better than to scream in a room full of Elders that weren’t scared of anything. The only thing these people responded to was logic and reasonable arguments. But this person I had become…. That Seraphina’s word
