All Chapters of Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Serena “Luna, you need to see something.” The voice came through the door before I could even answer. I turned, startled, my heart thudding again. Kael was still asleep behind me. His breathing was steady, his face calm, too calm. The door opened, and one of the guards stepped in, his face pale. “Please, Luna. It’s urgent.” I didn’t ask questions. I just nodded and followed him out. My legs felt heavy, like the floor was holding me back. The hallway smelled faintly of smoke and burnt oil — the fire’s scent still clinging to the air no matter how many windows they opened. He led me through the back corridor, past the kitchen, then down toward the storage area. It was quieter here. The kind of quiet that made every step sound wrong. “Where are we going?” I asked finally. He hesitated. “The electric board, Luna. The one that runs power through the eastern wing. We found something.” The words made my stomach tighten. The eastern wing — where the fire had started. We stop

Serena The healer had left an hour ago, saying his wolf was “still fighting.” That word fighting was the only thing holding me together. He looked nothing like the man I knew. His skin was pale, his arm wrapped in thick white bandages, half his body covered with burns. Even the scent of antiseptic couldn’t hide the faint smell of smoke that clung to him. I brushed his hair back from his forehead. “You said you’d always come back to me,” I whispered. “You don’t get to stop now.” He didn’t move. Not a twitch. Not a sound. “I don’t even know what to do anymore,” I said quietly. “People are already whispering. The elders want meetings. Everyone wants answers. And I…” my voice cracked I’m just trying to keep it together, Kael.” A soft sound escaped me, half laugh, half sob. “You’d probably tell me to calm down, right? That I’m overthinking everything.” The silence pressed harder. I looked down at our hands. My fingers were small against his, but I held on anyway. “Ari misse

Serena I fell into the dream the way you fall asleep on the couch, one blink and you are somewhere else, except this time it was not the couch and it was not sleep, it was like someone opened a door inside my head and everything spilled in. First there was heat, not the kind that makes you sweat but the kind that sits under your ribs and hums, a steady, wide hum, and then a voice that was not mine and not not mine, old and patient, like a river that had learned to keep its mouth shut until it needed to speak. Selara. The name felt pulled out of me and put into my bones. Selara spoke without moving lips and I knew the sound before I understood the meaning. You are awake and not awake, the wolf said, and it was not a thought so much as an image of the world seen through ears that could hear a twig break a mile away. At first I thought I was remembering things I had never lived, faces that were not mine, but they slid through me like light sliding through water and I could taste

Serena I found out the traitor was gone before sunrise. His room was open, sheets thrown back, window wide enough for a man to crawl through. The lamp still burned. The coffee on the table hadn’t gone cold yet. I stood in the doorway and waited for my anger to come. It didn’t. The guard beside me kept repeating that he’d checked the hall an hour ago. He swore the door was locked then. I looked at him once, and he stopped talking. Selara stirred under my skin. He runs to the sound of his own name, she said. They always do. She was right. He wasn’t hiding; he was returning to whoever had called him. I turned away. No shouting, no panic. Just a list forming in my head what I needed to know, who I could still trust, how much time before the next strike. I barely made it halfway down the corridor before another guard came running, breath breaking against his words. “The Alpha he’s awake.” Everything in me stopped for a second. Then everything started again, faster. The walk

Serena Mirah was gone, carried out by her husband. The door hadn’t stopped swinging when the shouting began. Elder Alric pointed at me. “You killed a woman in council. Do you understand what you’ve done?” I stood where I was. “I stopped a traitor.” “You acted without the Alpha’s command.” Kael’s voice broke through, low and steady. “She acted with my bond.” The room went still. No one expected him to speak. Alric turned to him. “Alpha, the pack will not accept this. We must call judgment.” Kael didn’t answer. His eyes were on me. He looked like he was memorizing my face in case this was the last time he saw it. Vaughn stepped forward. His hands were still stained from holding her. “You let your Luna murder my wife. That’s not rule. That’s madness.” “She tried to burn my family,” She is guilty of everything she is accused and yet, you still protect her” I said . He sneered. “You’ll say anything to keep your seat.” I opened the folder on the table and threw the
