All Chapters of Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

VENUSI frown. "What do you mean?"He gestures behind him. Several female guards step forward."There will be guards assigned outside your chambers. Miss Sydney's as well."Sid straightens. "Excuse me?"Thane doesn't even look at her. "No one is permitted to wander the castle without my permission."I fold my arms. "That's excessive.""I am responsible for this kingdom. After the recent incidents and the severe condition of my wife, I have to be careful."He steps closer. " Before speaking back, you should know your place." His voice lowers. "You're only His Majesty's fiancée and our future position in this castle is uncertain."Something inside me flares. "I'm carrying the King's child.""I am aware. Doesn't make you the Queen though. Until and unless you are married to him and crowned, you’re no one. I can strip you of whatever title you have left and put you in the servant quarters. Would you like that?"I grit my teeth but hold myself back from ripping his head off. He seems plea

VENUSI meet his horrified gaze with calmness. "It's been there for quite a while."I smile pleasantly. "I am serious about my personal security so the camera records everything that happens inside my room."A stunned silence falls over the chamber. Then I look toward the council."So...Would everyone like to see what really happened?"Daisy walks to the television mounted against the wall. She removes the memory card from the camera before inserting it into a small media drive already connected to the screen.Within seconds the footage appears. Everyone sees and hears everything Thane said and did. Nana’s face contorts in concern and then rage when she sees me struggling against him on the screen. The silence after the recording feels suffocating. Gerald is the first to break the silence. He slams his fist against the door. "You insolent fool!" His voice booms across the chamber. "You laid your hands on a pregnant woman!" He points directly at Thane. "Not just any woman. The fiancée

VENUSThe morning of the coronation arrives. Before sunrise, Daisy wakes me. "My Lady, it's time." I barely have time to eat before several attendants escort me across the castle grounds. The coronation preparations aren't being held inside the main palace. Instead I'm taken to the Royal Ceremonial Pavilion.A magnificent white stone building standing beside the palace gardens. Inside, the dressing chambers are already buzzing with activity.Sid is practically vibrating with excitement. "I've been waiting for this day forever!" She points dramatically toward the garment hanging near the window.When the protective cover is removed...I stop breathing.The gown is breathtaking. It reminds me of L'Étoile de Violette, the legendary purple coronation gown worn by the former Queen.Only...Clara has transformed it into something entirely different.Instead of royal violet, layers of shimmering silver melt into deep sapphire blue like moonlight reflecting across an endless ocean. Delicate em

VENUSAmara smiles. "You know about Celestial Wolves."I nod."They're descendants blessed directly by Selene."She begins pacing slowly across the room. "But every light casts a shadow. When Selene created her lineage, Umbra created his own. The Shadow Wolves."The room suddenly feels colder."They weren't originally evil." Amara continues. "They existed to balance the Celestial Wolves. Just as Umbra once balanced Selene." She sighs softly. "When Selene and Umbra separated, Umbra turned his Shadow lineage into his weapon.” She looks toward me. "Every lineage needs a ruler. A Shadow Alpha."Goosebumps spread across my skin. Just like Umbra cursed my brother. “Initially, Umbra tried to use Ezra to do his dirty work but Ezra released himself out of his grip.” Sara mutters and rolls her eyes. “Like father, like son. Both couldn’t be controlled.” “So Umbra went for his next Shadow Alpha.” I swallow the lump in my throat. “Bronze.” Just like Ezra said, Umbra is using Bronze to do his w

ROWAN"I tried many times. You were stronger than your father. Stronger than most and you had been in contact with multiple curse objects and poisons. Yet every attempt failed."Rage fills me. "So you chose my sister."The wolf’s head tilts. "The weaker sibling always breaks first."The sentence punches the air from my lungs.Raya changed after she married Alpha Nova. None of us understood why and Nova said anything to me about it until things had gone too far. She wasn't evil. She was another victim.Umbra continues without an ounce of remorse. "I used her exactly as I intended. She married Alpha Nova. She spread distrust. She widened every crack inside your family. Hatred grows beautifully when planted among blood."I finally understand. He had been moving pieces across the board long before any of us realized we were playing.Umbra never wanted kingdoms. He wanted families because broken families created broken packs.Bronze suddenly lowers himself into an attack stance. Green smo
