All Chapters of Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ember Frost’s POVLife at this school felt completely different, in the best way. Compared to the schools I attended back in the Moonshine Pack, this place had a warmer, more welcoming vibe. The students were easy to get along with, and that made every day more enjoyable.Here, I didn’t have to worry about someone hiding slimy frogs in my locker just because I didn’t fit in.“Hey Ember! The Theatre Club’s rehearsing today, and we thought we’d lend a hand. Want to tag along?”“Yeah, I spotted the poster on the board earlier. You guys would be performing ‘Petals of Change’, right?” I smiled at them and gave their hands a gentle squeeze. “It sounds like it’ll be so much fun, but I won’t be able to make it. You know I have training after school—don’t tell me you forgot!”Lyra huffed, lightly bouncing on her heels as she grabbed my arm. “You only train four times a week, right? So why not tonight? Please, Ember! They’ve made so many stunning outfits and accessories—it’d be a shame to miss

Ember Frost’s POV Damn this cursed law of secrecy! Once I take the throne, the first thing I’ll eliminate is that ancient chain binding us for generations.That was the last thing running through my head before I drifted off, half-submerged in the bath.The morning was already well past when I finally stirred, the room bright with sunlight I hadn’t meant to sleep through. The first thing I noticed was my mother’s hand wrapped gently around mine, her eyes filled with concern. At the foot of the bed, Millie and Mira exchanged uneasy glances, too nervous to say a word. The instant my mother realized I was awake, her breath escaped in a shaky rush. ‘Oh, Moon Goddess,’ she murmured, relief softening her face. ‘You’re awake at last, my darling. I was so worried about you.”“Mother, what’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?” I asked, frowning in confusion. After all, I had only been asleep.“It’s already noon,” Millie said softly. “You’ve been asleep for nearly seventeen hours.”“Wait—

Eira's POVPlease, Ember… Stay safe. I beg you, nothing must happen to you!​A wave of guilt washed over me as I thought back to everything that had happened while I was with Ember. Before I knew it, I found myself caught in an unexpected predicament.​It felt like the world had frozen. I watched a delicate insect perched on a bloom, its wings beating slowly—like a worn-out music box. Even the air seemed still. Time itself had paused. Figures who shouldn’t have been there materialized before me, moving with impossible speed. Yet I couldn’t look away. I observed it all with a strange, detached clarity.​That was the moment I realized my prophetic gift had finally awakened.​A torrent of strange and tangled knowledge poured into my mind, leaving me lightheaded and disoriented. I managed to hold onto only a handful of vital pieces before the visions vanished, disappearing like mist in the morning air.​Softly, I repeated the names: “Ember… and Sir Orion.”​"A love story meant to to

Ember Frost’s POV“So soon?” I felt a heaviness in my chest as she moved toward the door. Our time together felt too short, and I wished I could hold on to it a little longer. Eira hadn’t come here by choice, but somehow her presence had filled a quiet space in me. “Why don’t we ask one of the guards to pass a message to your grandmother? That way, she won’t worry if you stay here tonight. We could turn it into a little sleepover—Bedrock just got released, and it would be fun to watch it together with some popcorn. Eira gave a gentle shake of her head. “That’s so kind of you, Ember, but I can’t. My grandmother’s quite frail now, and if I don’t come home, she’ll spend the whole night worrying. I don’t want to put her through that. Besides, there are a few things I need to talk over with her, and I can't really wait.”“If you say so then,” I murmured, my voice low with reluctance. I didn’t want to push her, though part of me wished she would stay.I hated watching her leave, but I cou

Orion’s POV Somewhere along the way, my father and I had grown apart. I had no memory of when it began or why; everything about it was just a blur.In the end, the only way to break through was with genuine love and the courage to reach out first.Wasn’t this what love was supposed to be?‘I’m really sorry, Ember. I knew something was off with you, but instead of being honest, I hid behind my usual excuse to make myself feel better about the past. This is my first time being in love, my first real relationship, and I didn’t know how to handle it. So yes, I admit it, I ran when things got hard. I was scared you’d walk away if I messed up.’‘If you’re angry, you have every right to be. I brought this on myself. I was the fool who couldn’t do things right.’‘If I tried to fix things between us, could you find it in your heart to forgive me?’‘Honestly, I don’t even know anymore. I’m scared that the nightmare from that night might come true.’‘I’ve already learned enough from my father d
