All Chapters of Rejected Luna, Claimed by the Alpha Who Regretted: Chapter 121 - Chapter 125

The horn sounded before sunrise.The long warning note echoed through Frostveil like a crack through ice.I woke instantly.Snowlight filtered through the tall windows of the chamber. Cold air pressed against the glass. The valley outside still slept under a pale sky.But the horn sounded again.Once. Twice.Danger.I threw on my coat and stepped into the corridor.Guards rushed past me toward the outer gate. Their boots struck the stone floor in fast rhythm.Rowan appeared at the stair landing.“You heard it too?”“Yes.”He rubbed the back of his neck.“Scouts returned during the night.”“That fast?”He nodded.“Something strange is happening near the eastern ridge.”I felt the weight of the previous night settle again.Hunters.Thousands.We moved quickly down the steps toward the courtyard.Snow crunched under our boots as we stepped outside.Warriors gathered around the central fire pit.
