REJECTED BY FATE, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA KING 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

The night bled into dawn, streaks of silver light cutting through the trees as the storm finally began to ease. The forest dripped with the remnants of rain, mist curling along the earth like restless spirits. Aria knelt at the ancient Moonstone shrine, her palms pressed flat against the cracked surface. Her breath came in shallow bursts — both from exhaustion and urgency.The Moonstone pulsed faintly under her touch, responding to the faint flicker of power within her. “Goddess,” she whispered, “if ever you hear me — let truth rise from shadow.”The stone glowed brighter. Wind swirled through the clearing, brushing strands of hair across her damp face. For a moment, she could feel it — the hum of divine energy, the whisper of something greater than herself. Then the wind shifted. A presence entered the clearing, silent but strong.Aria spun around, ready to defend herself, when her eyes met familiar steel-gray ones.Lorien.He stepped from the mist, his cloak soaked, his dark hair pl

The night after Selene’s confinement was eerily still. The moon hung high above the mountains, its pale light bleeding through the trees surrounding the Shadowfang fortress. But peace was a fragile illusion.Inside the infirmary, the air smelled faintly of herbs and silver dust. Aria moved quietly among the wounded, her hands glowing with a soft, lunar hue as she mended torn flesh and sealed bleeding wounds. Since Selene’s arrest, the warriors had begun to look at her differently — not as a ghost of the past but as something sacred, someone meant to be here.“Rest now,” she murmured to a young soldier, brushing sweat from his brow. “You’ll be fine by morning.”He tried to thank her, but his voice broke from exhaustion. Aria smiled softly and turned toward the next cot. Every healing took something from her — energy, strength, fragments of her essence — but she didn’t care. Not tonight. After the storm in the council hall, the pack needed hope, and Kaelen needed proof that light could

The first thing Aria felt when she woke was heat.Not the gentle warmth of Kaelen’s blood still mingling within her veins, but a fierce, searing blaze that roared from her very core. It wasn’t pain exactly — more like a wildfire consuming everything weak, every remnant of the poison that had once chained her.Her heart hammered violently. Her breath came in sharp, uneven gasps as light shimmered beneath her skin.Kaelen, who had dozed off beside her, stirred instantly. His instincts flared before his mind caught up — his wolf surged, sensing something monumental shifting inside her.“Aria?” he murmured, straightening.Her eyes snapped open.Gone was the dull silver-gray he had grown used to. Her irises glowed molten gold — the color of divine power. Her pupils were thin slits, her fangs lengthened, and her aura — Goddess, her aura — rolled through the room like a storm, thick with energy and untamed strength.Kaelen’s breath caught. His wolf bowed instinctively.Aria sat up slowly, tr

The morning dawned crimson, as if the heavens themselves bled for what was about to unfold.Selene stood on the balcony of the Alpha King’s estate, her hands gripping the stone railing so tightly that her nails cracked. The wind whipped through her golden hair, carrying with it the faint scent of smoke from the earlier night’s battle — and something else. Something that made her stomach churn.Kaelen’s scent.But layered beneath it was another — soft, wild, laced with moonlight and warmth.Aria.Selene’s lips twisted. The name itself burned her tongue like acid. She could feel the shift in the bond — the threads of her connection to Kaelen pulling taut, then snapping back with a strange, foreign energy. A cold shiver crawled down her spine.“No,” she whispered, shaking her head violently. “No, no, no…”The mirror beside her shimmered as her reflection rippled unnaturally. A familiar voice slid through the air like poisoned silk.“You feel it too, don’t you?”Selene spun around, her ey

The dawn came slowly, as if the sun itself hesitated to rise after the night’s revelation. The storm had passed, leaving the world quiet and fragile. Dew glimmered on the balcony railings and the scent of wet earth hung heavy in the air.Aria stood there, wrapped in a thin cloak, her hands clutching the railing so tightly her knuckles whitened. The breeze tugged at her hair, carrying whispers of the forest below. But no matter how deeply she breathed, she couldn’t still the tremor in her chest.Kaelen’s words from the night before echoed in her mind.“You are my true mate.”“You make me remember what it feels like to be alive.”“Then let it.”Each phrase struck her again, softer and sharper all at once. The warmth of his touch still lingered on her skin—the way he’d kissed her, the way his voice had broken with truth. And yet, every beat of her heart hurt.Her wolf stirred inside her, restless. Why do you tremble, Aria?“Because,” she whispered aloud, her voice breaking, “it feels too
