Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

The moment Aether and I stepped into BlueCrest, the stench of blood filled the air, thick, metallic, and suffocating. And the cries of my wolves and warriors were loud enough to cause an uproar within me. My wolf was on edge, growling restlessly inside me. I didn’t need anyone to point her out. Ceryn’s presence was like a brewing storm— wild and chaotic.And then I saw her at the far end of the courtyard Ceryn ValeShe had Nelson pinned to the ground, her claws digging into his throat as he gasped for breath. My Beta’s eyes were wide with panic, his veins bulging as he struggled to push her off. But this wasn’t the Ceryn I knew.No way. This was something entirely different.Her skin looked pale, almost lifeless, with streaks of dark veins creeping across her neck and face. Her eyes blazed with a strange violet light that looked unnatural, and terrifying. Blood dripped from her claws, and every snarl that erupted from her mouth was unreal, more like a beast than a wolf.“Ceryn!” I sh

The morning air was cold, the kind that seemed to carry secrets. It was quiet, and my heart sank with feelings I couldn’t quite identify. My chest felt heavy as I sent for Gladys to come to my chamber. I needed to see her, I needed to ask her a few questions. She arrived quickly, head bowed, her fingers nervously twisting her apron.“Sit,” I said softly, and she complied, sitting on the edge of the chair like she might slip right off.“I need to ask you something,” I started, keeping my voice steady even though my heart was racing. “What’s going on between you and Alpha Andrew?”Her eyes widened in surprise, darting to mine before dropping to her lap. She stared at me again, fidgeted with her hands as if hoping silence would somehow be the answer.“Gladys,” I leaned in, my tone gentle but firm, “you can talk to me. I won’t be angry, I promised. I just want the truth.”She swallowed hard. “My lady… Alpha Andrew…” Her cheeks flushed a light pink. “He… he told me he likes me.”My stomach

I didn’t even realize I was running until I was halfway back to my room— my heart racing, hands shaking. It felt like the chamber walls were closing in on me. The love declaration I have just seen between Andrew and Gladys… and then Laziel catching me spying? It was just too much to handle right now.Just as I turned to leave I thought I heard Andrew’s footsteps behind me, quick and heavy, like he was chasing me or trying to come after me. For a moment, I thought maybe he would. Maybe he’d explain things, saying he didn’t mean what he said to her, maybe he’d stop me, or remind me that what I’d witnessed wasn’t what it seemed. But he didn’t. Instead, I heard her voice— soft yet firm— stopping him in his tracks.“Alpha please don’t!” It was Gladys.Her words weren’t harsh, but they hit hard.“If you go after her,” she whispered, “it means you don’t really want me.”I hesitated in the hallway, uncertainty gripping my whole body.At first, there was silence, and then Andrew’s voice came t

“What are you doing here?” I asked again, my voice sharp but my lips were shaking a bit. I wanted to hear it from his own mouth that he wants to kill me just as he was a cohort that orchestrated my mother’s death.Even though I wanted the benefit of the doubt, deep down, I already knew the answer. My father had always chosen the Nightbounds over me, over anything else. He was ready to kill and shed blood to be in their good book. So why should today be any different? He wasn’t here for me, he was here to help Nyra, to fight alongside her and finish what he’d failed to do when I was a child. Kill me!Nyra stepped closer, a wicked grin spreading across her face, her laughter dark and cruel. “Are you dumb or are you pretending to be slow? Why else would he be here bitch! He’s here to help me, of course. Did you really think otherwise?” Her magic twisted around her like a dark cloak. “How does it feel, Maybel? Knowing your father has betrayed you from the moment you were born… right up u

MAYBEL’S POVSomething inside me felt really off. My chest was burning with a rage so intense it scared me. It was that same ugly anger I had when Ceryn and her rogues kidnapped me, but this time, it was even worse.The first thing I did was kill my father’s Nightbound mate. I didn’t hesitate at all, I’ve had enough of her nonsense. Normally I wouldn’t kill her but since I have this quest to kill any rival would go down by my hands. Even when she hit the ground, I still felt empty. Something inside me craved more— needed more. I needed to spill bloodI followed Aether back onto the battlefield, and it was like I transformed into a different person. I fought like a beast. Every assassin that crossed my path fell to my sword, blood splattering across my face and hands. I wiped it off with my sleeve and continued fighting. My sword was moving so fast I could barely control it; at one point, I almost stabbed one of my own wolves.That’s when Aria rushed toward me, her eyes blazing. “Maybe
