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

Ember Frost’s POV No matter what reasons she gave for staying with her grandmother, it didn’t change the fact that she shouldn’t be living here any longer. This house was nothing but a place of sorrow and bitter memories. It couldn’t even offer her a warm bed to rest on, let alone a peaceful corner to study or breathe.There were so many empty rooms in the palace anyway; wasn’t that a better choice?So, I spoke gently, trying not to sound too pushy.“Eira, have you ever thought about staying at the palace with me? It’s such a big place, and honestly, it gets unbearably quiet. If you come, we can go to school together, train together, and maybe even share a room if you like. Wouldn’t that be fun?”Eira gave me a knowing look and let out a small laugh. “You could’ve just said you think this place isn’t fit to live in, Ember.”I rubbed the back of my neck, smiling sheepishly. “I didn’t want to sound rude.”She only lifted her shoulders in that calm, unbothered way of hers.I half expect

Ember Frost’s POV“Honestly… that stubborn girl,” Lyra grumbled as she took off after her. She paused halfway, glanced back at us, and called out, “Don’t worry about it! I’ll track her down. After that, I need to head back to the theater club. See you both at lunch!”When she was out of sight, I looked at Eira and raised a brow.“Wait—Alina actually said yes to Leo?”Eira nodded without hesitation. “She did. I watched it happen. She agreed barely two minutes ago.”My mouth fell open. “No way. Did she charm him or something? You know how Alina is… Leo’s one of the most popular guys in Wolfsong Academy. Being seen with him would definitely feed her obsession with being the center of attention.”Eira shook her head immediately. “Not this time. Leo made the first move. And come on, Alina’s gorgeous. Plus, she’s the next Alpha of the Northern Pack. That kind of power and beauty? Any college guy would take a second look.”I rolled my eyes, unable to help the bitterness in my voice. “Still…

Ember Frost’s POV“It’s okay to feel sad,” I whispered as I wrapped my arms around her. Eira and Lyra joined in, and the four of us hugged her tightly. “You’ve been hurt. Anyone would break down after that. Let it out; don’t hold back. Cry if you need to. It’s the only way your heart will heal again.”Of course, the whole drama spread through the school like wildfire. It wasn’t long before the principal summoned me to his office.“Good afternoon, Miss Frost,” he greeted, adjusting his glasses as he gestured to the chair in front of his desk. His hair was more silver than grey, and somehow that made him look even stricter. “Please, sit.”I sank into the chair, crossed my arms, and nodded. “Afternoon, sir. I’m guessing this is about Leo, right?” I didn’t bother pretending. “Before we start, let me save us both the trouble—I’m not apologizing. Not today, not tomorrow. Whatever happened to him was overdue.”The principal’s face tightened. “Watch your tone, young lady. You're in my office.

Ember Frost’s POVThe king’s explanation about power and laws was… a lot. Far more complicated than I had expected. And honestly? I still didn’t really get it.My father must have noticed the confusion practically written across my forehead, because his expression softened and he gave me a reassuring pat.“It’s alright if it doesn’t make sense yet,” he murmured. “You’re still young. Understanding comes with time. Life will teach you the rest.”Curled up between them, I kept my gaze fixed on nothing in particular, my thoughts spinning as I tried to make sense of everything he’d just told me.Truthfully, the moment I walked out of the principal’s office earlier, I felt a tiny pang of regret. Sure, it felt wonderful to stand up for what was right—and honestly, who wouldn’t want to knock some sense into a corrupt principal? Every student dreams of that.But still… I probably pushed things a bit too far.All those admiring looks from my classmates? They were flattering, yes—like I’d become

Ember Frost’s POVEveryone got the message that we had to show up in our school uniforms, so we all changed at the same time. The girls weren’t thrilled—partly because they didn’t want their dresses ruined, and partly because they loved the idea of keeping their outfits a secret until the big moment.Eira had no choice but to fold her fluffy shawl and shove it into the storage cabinet. She nearly cried doing it. That shawl alone probably cost more than the entire cabinet, and the school definitely wasn’t going to reimburse her for anything.“If I had known we’d be doing all this,” Lyra grumbled, tugging at her long dress, “I would’ve changed at home. This thing looks gorgeous when I’m standing still, but walking in it is like dragging a carpet.”A lot of other girls clearly felt the same way, but they still held onto their dresses, not wanting to take them off. For many of them, this was the one night of the year they got to wear something fancy. Most of them would rather suffer than
