The Alpha king's Rejected Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

LilyThe Heartstone had been a battle I wasn’t ready for. I had thought I would be prepared, that I could simply reach out and take control. But the darkness that had surged inside me was no small thing. Morgana’s influence clawed at me, pushing, pulling, tempting me to submit. I had fought with everything I had, but the power was so overwhelming that for a moment, I feared I would lose myself to it.But I hadn’t. I stood tall. I refused to be Morgana.The surge of energy still lingered in my veins, making my body feel as if it were both heavy and weightless at once. The Hearthstone’s power had connected with mine, but I had managed to keep it from fully consuming me. For now, at least.Alex had remained silent behind me, his presence a constant reassurance. But even he couldn’t hide the unease in his eyes. He could feel the ripples of power that flowed from me like a second heartbeat. I turned to him, meeting his gaze. There was no denying that something had changed. I could feel th

AlexI stood amidst the devastation, the scent of blood and ash thick in the air. My mind raced with memories of Lily, her voice, her laughter, and the way she always seemed to stand her ground, no matter the odds. How could I have let her slip away? The guilt clawed at me, deeper than any wound ever had. She’d trusted me and stood by me even when everything in our past tried to tear us apart. And what had I done? Pushed her away. I growled low, my claws curling into fists. “Find her,” I ordered the pack members gathered in the clearing. “I don’t care what it takes. She’s out there, and we’re bringing her home.” “Alpha,” one of my Betas, Marcus, said hesitantly, his eyes wary. “The rogues are stirring. We’ve spotted movement along the borders. Jake might be planning something big.” “Let him try,” I snapped, my voice sharp. “I’ll deal with him myself if I have to. Right now, our priority is Lily.” Marcus nodded, though his expression remained grim. He shifted back into his wo

Morgana stood in the center of the clearing, her black robes swirling with the unnatural wind she had summoned. The ground beneath her glowed with the sickly green light of her ritual circle, pulsing in time with the incantations she murmured. Lily clung to my arm, her breath coming in short, fearful gasps. I could feel her terror, but I couldn’t take my eyes off Morgana. The power radiating from her was unlike anything I had ever encountered; it was raw, chaotic, and utterly lethal. “Do you see now, Alex?” Morgana said, her voice rising above the howling wind. “Do you see what happens when promises are broken?” “What the hell are you talking about?” I growled, stepping in front of Lily protectively. Morgana’s eyes gleamed, and a cruel smile curved her lips. “Oh, you don’t know, do you? Of course, you wouldn’t. Your parents wouldn’t have wanted their precious son burdened with the truth.” “Truth about what?” Lily asked, her voice shaking but steady enough to cut through the

AlexThe clearing was shrouded in an eerie stillness, broken only by the soft murmurs of the surviving pack members and the occasional howl of the wind. The air carried the acrid scent of burned earth and spilled blood. My arms tightened around Lily, who was trembling in my grasp, her breath shallow but steady. Her wide eyes searched mine as though seeking reassurance, a sign that all this wasn’t real. “Alex...is it over?” I glanced around at the devastation, the shattered remains of what once stood as our sanctuary, the bodies of those who’d fallen to Jake’s betrayal and Morgana’s dark magic. My heart clenched. “No,” I said, my voice rough with exhaustion. “This was just the beginning.” Marcus approached, his face grim, blood streaking his torn clothes. “The pack is regrouping, but our losses are heavy. Jake’s attack was a massacre. Many didn’t even have the chance to fight back.” I stood, keeping Lily close. “We’ll mourn them later,” I said firmly. “Right now, we need to e

AlexThe days that followed were a blur of preparation and tension. I couldn’t shake the sense of urgency that gripped me. Every passing hour felt like a step closer to a battle we were destined to fight, but still not fully prepared for. The journey to unite the packs was one I never thought we’d have to undertake, but here we were, fighting not just for our survival but for the survival of everything we held dear.Lily’s determination was a constant beacon of hope, even when doubt crept into my mind. She hadn’t faltered, not even when the weight of her revelations about Morgana had threatened to crush her. If anything, she seemed stronger and more resolute in her mission. It was as though the bond we shared had solidified, grounding her and giving her the strength to face whatever came next.The night before the council was set to convene, I found myself standing outside the pack’s main hall, staring into the darkened forest. The wind whispered through the trees, carrying with it th
