บททั้งหมดของ The Rogue King's Silver Wolf : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

SERA POV "I, Thorne Ashford, Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, reject you, Sera Blackwood, as my fated mate." The words hit me like a physical blow, and I stumbled backward on the platform, my hand moving to my chest. Around us, hundreds of wolves from the Silvermoon Pack and neighboring territories gasped in collective shock. The Lunar Blessing ceremony, the sacred night when the Moon Goddess revealed fated mates, had never seen a rejection like this. Not public, Not immediate, Not cruel. I stared at Thorne, unable to process what was happening. His hand had just been holding mine. The mate bond had snapped into place only moments ago, that golden thread connecting my soul to his, warm, right and perfect. I'd felt it the second the moon reached its peak, and my heart had soared because after seven years of loving him from the shadows, fate had finally chosen us. Except Thorne's face looked like he'd swallowed glass. "Thorne…" I choked out, but he wasn't finished. "I choose instead

KADE POV We reached the compound some minutes later, a sprawling complex of buildings I'd built from nothing over the past five years. What had started as a rough camp for exiled wolves had grown into something resembling a small town. We had a little over hundred and fifty wolves here now, all of them rogues, all of them loyal to me. Some by choice. Others because they had nowhere else to go. I carried Sera straight to the main house, past curious stares and whispered questions. News traveled fast in a place like this. By morning, every wolf in my territory would know about the Silver Blood. I took her up three flights of stairs to the guest wing. The room I'd had prepared was spacious and comfortable, a far cry from the barracks most of my wolves lived in. Large bed with soft sheets, a sitting area, a private bathroom. Windows that overlooked the forest. I laid Sera on the bed carefully, brushing a strand of dark hair from her face. The silver glow had faded to almost nothing,

SERA POV Blood drained from my face. "Thorne is here?" "With fifty wolves," the scarred man Marcus repeated. His eyes were fixed on Kade, waiting for orders. "They're armed, He's not playing around." Kade's expression didn't change, but I felt the temperature in the room drop. "How long?" "Five minutes. They're at the border. Thorne is demanding to speak with you. Now." Marcus paused. "He looks unstable. His wolf is close to the surface." "Tell him I'll be there in ten minutes," Kade said calmly. "Kade......." "Ten minutes. Let him wait." Kade's smile was cold. "If he wants to start a war on my territory, he can wait a little longer." Marcus nodded and left. Elena had gone very still by the stove, her hand gripping a spatula like a weapon. I stood up, my chair scraping against the floor. "I should go with you." "Absolutely not." Kade's voice was flat, final. "He came for me. This is my fault—" "This is his fault," Kade corrected, moving closer. "He rejected you, Sera. He m

SERAMy body screamed as I collapsed onto the bed. Every muscle ached from morning training, but underneath the pain was something else, something I'd never felt before.Power.I stared at my hands, half-expecting them to glow silver. They looked normal now, but I knew better. I had destroyed a tree with a thought. I had made the Rogue King look at me with respect.I wasn't the invisible Omega anymore.A knock sounded at the door. "Come in," I said, sitting up.Elena entered carrying a tray of food. The smell hit me, roasted chicken, vegetables, fresh bread and my stomach growled."Thought you might be hungry," she said with that warm smile. "You've earned it."I took the tray, suddenly starving. "Thank you."Elena sat in the chair by the window. "You did well this morning, the whole compound is talking about it.""They're probably talking about how I destroyed a tree," I muttered between bites."They're talking about how you're the strongest wolf they've ever seen," Elena leaned forw

SERAI couldn't stay inside.I knew Kade had told me to wait, to stay safe, but the need to see what was happening pulled at me like a physical force. I moved to the window, pressing my face close to the glass.The compound gates were opening.A figure walked through, and even from this distance, I could tell she was beautiful, tall, with long dark hair that fell in waves down her back. She moved with the kind of confidence I'd never had, like she owned every inch of the ground she stepped on.Rogues parted for her, some nodding in recognition, others watching with wary eyes.She was looking for someone. Her gaze swept the compound until it landed on Kade, who stood near the training grounds with Marcus beside him.Even from here, I saw Kade's body go rigid.The woman, Cassandra smiled. Not a warm smile, something sharper.I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I didn't need to. The way she moved closer to him, the way her hand reached out to touch his arm, the familiar way she ti
