All Chapters of Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

ROWANNile walks beside me in silence, looking grim and worried. We reach Olivia’s ward, and I push the door open.As soon as I enter the room, I find her awake, sitting upright on the bed, dressed in a white hospital gown. Her hair is still messy, but there’s color back in her cheeks. The moment her eyes land on me, they light up.“King Rowan,” she mutters my name softly, her lips curling into a bright smile.I pull a stool closer and sit beside her bed. “How are you feeling?” I ask, keeping my tone neutral.Olivia’s eyes glimmer at my show of concern for her. “I wasn’t feeling good,” she admits shyly and looks down at her lap, her fingers fidgeting, “but now that you’re here, I feel much better.”I don’t respond to that. Olivia’s affection toward me isn’t new. She’s worked under me for years, and I’ve tried to set boundaries more times than I can count. She was young, barely out of her teens when I first took her in after she escaped her abusive family. Her father and brother tre

VENUSI find myself in a hospital bed. The room is dark, only a small amount of light falling in it and illuminating the man standing beside my bed. It’s Rowan. He looks as composed as ever yet there’s something soft in his expression. His lips are moving like he’s saying something but I can’t hear the words. Everything sounds distant and muted, like I’m drowning underwater. He’s holding my hand. The warmth of his touch seeps into me. I never imagined he would come. Seeing him here, by my side, makes my chest ache in the best way.I’m not able to hear anything he says until he takes my name. “Venus.” I try to answer, but my mouth feels sealed shut. I can’t move my lips. Then slowly his voice starts to change and I hear someone taking my name but it’s not his voice. “Venus?”My eyes flutter open. The deep voice that calls my name is familiar. I blink hard, my vision slowly adjusting to the light. Then I look beside me and find Bronze who sits beside me on a small stool, concern wri

VENUSSid lets out a low whistle. “Wow. That’s… unexpected. Are you sure about this, Vee?”I nod, trying to sound confident. “Bronze risked his life to protect me. That made me realize his feelings are real.”Sydney’s expression softens. “He really was worried about you. The moment he found out you were missing, he went crazy trying to track you down. That kind of devotion says a lot.” She says thoughtfully. Her words warm me a little. “Yeah,” I say with a small smile. “It means a lot.”But before the warmth can settle, Alex speaks up. “I don’t think you’re making the right decision.” He says in a firm voice. Sid and I both turn to him, startled by his words. “What?” I ask. Alex’s jaw is tight, his facial muscles hard. He seems pissed at something. His usually calm gray eyes look conflicted now. “All of us were worried,” he says sharply. “We were all looking for you. Bronze just happened to get there first. That’s it.”I frown, my chest tightening at his words. “It’s not about wh

VENUSFinally, he caps the tube and sets it aside. “There,” he mutters, looking at her feet and giving it a slight tap. “That should ease it.”Mallory slowly rises from the sofa, trying to put weight on her foot. But she stumbles almost instantly, letting out a small cry as she loses her balance and lands straight into Bronze’s arms.He catches her instinctively. Mallory’s hands clutch his shoulders, and for a second, they stay that way. He steadies her, his brows knitting in concern. “You can’t walk like this,” he says, his tone gentle but firm. “I’ll take you to your room.”Before I can even speak, he bends down and lifts her into his arms.I can only watch with my heart aching as her arms loop around his neck and her head rests lightly against his chest. The sight hurts. It’s not like before. Initially, I used to think Mallory was the one coming between us. This time it feels like I’m the one coming in between their connection. As if I am standing in a place I was never meant to be

VENUSMy jaw tightens. They let her through easily because she’s Bronze’s mate, and their Luna. I press my palms against the damp earth, thinking fast. I need to get inside to see what Mallory is doing or else all of this will be for nothing.The guards start to change shifts. It’s my only chance.I dart deeper into the shadows, and hide behind the trees, keeping low until I notice a loose section of fencing near the eastern side. My pulse quickens. That could work.I pick up a small stone and toss it toward the opposite end of the fence. It clinks against metal. The sound makes two patrolling guards snap their heads toward it and move to investigate.Now is the time! I squeeze through the loose panel, careful not to make a sound. The metal scrapes lightly against my hoodie, but I manage to slip inside. I dash toward a cluster of crates stacked near a generator building, crouching behind them. The smell of oil and iron makes me scrunch my nose. I rub the dirt and mud on my hands an
