All Chapters of Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Uncle: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Darius POVThe third message did not come with hesitation.It came before dawn.. it came with ash on the seal.And that was how I knew delay was no longer an option.“Alpha! Darius,” Kade said quietly outside my chamber door, “Clawfrost requests immediate presence.”Requests.A polite word for necessity.I opened the door before he could knock again. “How bad?”“They’ve breached the outer supply line.”My jaw tightened. “Casualties?”“Not yet. But the eastern ridge has been marked again.”Marked.Fael was not attacking outright huh.He was testing how long I would remain still.“Ready my horse,” I said calmly.“Yes, Alpha.”He hesitated. “Do you wish to wake the..?”“No.”“And Lady Seraphine?”I paused. “Yes.”He smiled then bowed and left and I closed the door quietly behind me.The room was still a bit dim with pale morning light barely touching the edges of the curtains.Seraphine was already awake and was sitting up in bed, watching me.“You’re leaving,” she said and I could tell

Fael POVThe garden had never felt this light since the last couple of days.It unsettled me but still it made me feel jittery on the inside.Winter sunlight filtered through the branches, settling gold across the flower hedges and the marble fountain that had been carved in my grandfather’s time. The roses looked a bit ugly as if they were stripped off of their arrogance and bloom, but the air was.. softer than it had been in days. Or perhaps that was only me.I sat on the iron bench beneath the willow tree and let the silence stretch as I stared at everyone.. the servants and guards altogether.For the first time since Darius had stepped foot back into Grimfang, the air did not feel like a battlefield.He was gone.. The gates had closed at dawn.Clawfrost had called him back.And I was so excited to the point my shoulders had loosened when I heard the hooves depart and I could no longer sight his stupid shadow.Footsteps approached over gravel and Anton stopped just short of the f

The outer walls were quieter than usual this afternoon.I had requested the meeting under the guise of a minor procedural discussion, but still I arrived early, ensuring I controlled the flow. My cloak was drawn tightly over my shoulders, though the silk beneath gleamed in faint golden light from the high windows. I exuded calm, but every calculated step I took carried a hidden weight.Two aides had joined her this time, as instructed. The third man was the man I had spoken to the previous night and he stood closest to me. He was the one I knew I had the most influence on.“Thank you for meeting me,” I began, my voice sounded a bit soft and more melodic than usual . “I understand your schedules are demanding.”The older aide inclined his head. “Of course, Lady Liora. You said it could not wait?”“Yes,” she replied lightly, stepping closer. I let my gaze sweep across both men before fixing on the councilman from last night. “There are… som peculiarities and disturbances in what w

Fael POVI held the wooden wolf in my hands, tracing the smooth curves of its carved back. The grain of the wood pressed into my fingertips like memory itself. I had kept it for years, wrapped in cloth, hidden in the shadows of my chambers. Today, it would no longer be hidden.Aurelian stood at the edge of the sunlit corridor he had been waiting for Kade to get him juice for his headache but now he was curious, his small hands reaching towards the wolf with an instinctive caution that made my chest tighten.“This is for you,” I said, my voice quieter than I had intended. “A gift.”He tilted his head, amber eyes wide and cautious. “What is it?”“A wolf,” I said. “Carved. Like the ones my father made me when I was your age. He… he taught me patience. Taught me loyalty.”Aurelian’s small fingers brushed the carving. “Is he dead?”The question landed harder than any blow and my throat tightened while my hands curled around the gift.“Yes,” I admitted. The single word sounded small in

Anton povI had watched them from the shadows for nearly an hour, noting how Seraphine moved with that calm grace that always seemed just out of reach. For some weird reason no matter how many times I saw her, I never tired of watching her. The way she held herself, controlled every flicker of her expression, every movement.. it was infuriating and captivating at the same time. Just as it had been seven years ago.She carried authority in her silence and warmth in her hands, even when they were folded politely in front of her.Kade was nowhere near. He had taken Aurelian to check on the outer guards, leaving her momentarily alone. That was my opportunity so I quickly stepped into the quiet corridor, adjusting the folds of my cloak so my presence felt casual, unthreatening.“Seraphine,” I said lightly, letting my voice roll over her like honey and ice at once.She glanced up, eyes narrowing ever so slightly and sexily. “Anton,” she said, voice polite but guarded. I stopped a few
