All Chapters of Rejected Luna : Alpha's Promise, King's Claim: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ROWANI fucking hate the amount of control it requires to restraint myself from kissing this Goddess right in front of me. Venus is dangerously close, her full, round breasts almost spilling through her bra that’s sheer now, thanks to the bathtub water. Her intoxicating chocolate scent is driving Asgard wild. All I can think about is ripping those pieces of fabric off her and make her mine. But I can’t do that to her. If I can’t claim her as my mate, I won’t use her body. Especially when she’s not in her senses. Venus deserves to be loved and respected. I can’t give her any of that. “We can! We just need to claim her. She’s ours!” Asgard growls in my head, trying to come out. My eyes flash as I dip my head below her chin, sniffing her neck. The temptation to make her mine overrides my rational thoughts as my canines protrude, ready to mark her. The tip of my canine is inches away from her shoulder blade when the bathroom door flies open and Nile walks in. “Rowan, there’s somethin

ROWANI don’t respond because she’s right. I can’t be the king forever and someone will take after me. Bronze seems like the best choice but his hatred towards me makes it hard to convince him. When Nana speaks again, her voice softens in a way I rarely hear. “How is Bronze?” I flick my gaze briefly to the rearview mirror. Her eyes are filled with care and affection. It’s because Bronze is Raya’s son, my late sister. Nana brought Raya up alongside me. She was her favorite, the golden girl, until she chose to walk away from the royal pack and build a life with her mate, Alpha Nova. Her decision hurt Nana since she wanted Raya to get married to another royal and become a Luna Queen, not just a Luna. “He’s doing well as the Alpha.” I reply flatly. We drive for a while when Nana suddenly leans forward, “Nile, take a left. Drive to the location I gave you.” Nile frowns, glancing at me but obeys anyway. “Why?” I demand, my eyes narrowing. “Don’t question me,” Nana snaps at me. Te

VENUSI nod slowly. “Maybe. My memory is blurry, so I can’t be sure.” She sits there for a long moment, chewing on her lip. Then her voice softens, as if she’s thinking something. “Venus…maybe it’s not just in your head. Maybe there is something between you two. After all, Rowan never had a mate. Not that I’ve ever heard of, anyway.” I bite my lip hard, chewing on the thought. “Can it really be possible?” I ask her. “Rowan is old enough to be my dad, and half the time he’s pissed at me.” Sid scoffs. “Please. If you ask me, he seems to have a soft spot for you.” I raise my brows at her. “How?” “He pays more attention to you than anyone else. Also you’re the only trainee who trains with him. None of us get that privilege.” I shrug. “Isn’t that because he thinks I’m weak?” She gives me a look. “Venus, come on. Why would he care?” She makes sense. Rowan doesn't seem to care a lot about anyone but when it comes to me, he seems protective. He even took the responsibility to give me

VENUSThere’s silence from the other side and then I hear her soft sigh. “Venus, sweetheart, it’s nothing. You don’t need to—” “Mom.” My voice hardens, cracking at the edges. “Please. Don’t lie to me.” There’s another pause, then she responds. “Yes, it happened again.” My chest caves. I have seen what my brother went through closely, how his body trembled when that darkness within him tore him apart. He’s one of the strongest Alpha wolves I know but at those times he looks so broken, having no control over his wolf. Mom’s voice softens. “Don’t worry. We have it under control. He’s sleeping now and he’ll be fine.”“I can come back,” I blurt. “I can help him. You know I can—” “No.” Her tone hardens. “It’s too dangerous. His outburst has drawn rogues to the borders.” My blood runs cold. “What?” “I’ve already strengthened the borders with my powers,” she says quickly. “They won’t get in. We’re safe. You need to focus on yourself. Stay where you are.” I press my lips together, figh

VENUSFor a second, I just blink, startled. But I force myself to gather my thoughts before my voice cracks. “It’s… a good idea in terms of space,” I say slowly and carefully. “But the camp grounds are also the training grounds. After the party’s over, it’ll leave a huge mess that might take days to clean.”Olivia immediately jumps in, scoffing. “There are cleaners in the pack. They can just do the job.”I nod slightly. “That’s true… but the cleaners might get burnt out. They’ve already had a lot on their hands managing the camp, and there’s also the maintenance of the camp complex to think about.”Olivia’s lips part like she wants to argue but nothing comes out. She knows I’m right. She lives in the barracks so she’s seen how spotless everything always is thanks to the hard work of the cleaner omegas. Cersei nods, her expression faintly approving. “I was wondering the same thing.”Mallory’s gaze slides back to me, calm but questioning. “Then where do you suggest we host it?”My fing
