All Chapters of Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown: Chapter 111 - Chapter 116

Ember Frost’s POVOnce the guards finally managed to soothe the raging Northern Duke, my father shifted his attention to the witch. His voice was calm but firm, the kind that left no room for excuses. “Alright,” he said, “let’s hear everything from your own mouth.”The witch tilted her chin up, wearing a mocking smile as if the entire situation amused her. “And what exactly do you want explained?” she replied. “I already told you—I was curious. I thought it’d be fun to live like some pampered noblewoman for a day. That’s all.”My father’s expression hardened, all patience gone. “If you keep talking like this,” he warned, “I might have no choice but to call in someone who isn’t as gentle as I am.” His tone dropped lower. “From the way you spoke earlier, it’s clear you know plenty about the old war. Then you should also remember what the werewolves used to do when they needed answers on the battlefield.” He leaned in slightly, his gaze cold. “We never worried about whether those methods

Ember Frost’s POVI found my father in his study, but he was in the middle of a call.

She might have heard of this ability before.”He agreed almost immediately. “I’ve already been informed about Eira’s condition. You don’t need to burden yourself with worry. I sent someone to the witch clan earlier; they’re already discussin

Ember Frost’s POVThere was truly no way to tame the Astral Eyes.No matter how I tried to steady myself, that harsh truth slammed back into me all over again.And if that was true… What about Eira? Was she going to meet the same early death Medina did?Elder Marcus placed a calming hand on my shoulder and spoke gently, “Don’t lose hope, Miss Ember. We’ll find a solution. Eira will be alright.”But how could he sound so sure? “Even the witches don’t know how to control that cursed eye,” I whispered, shaking. “And if Eira… if something happens to her because of me, how am I supposed to face her?”My chest tightened with guilt. From the very beginning, I was the one who dragged her into this. I was the one who spoke of “honor” and “greatness” like they were shiny toys. I convinced her to leave the quiet life she loved and step into danger she never asked for.How could I have been so blind?
