All Chapters of Rejected Luna, Claimed by the Alpha Who Regretted: Chapter 131 - Chapter 138

The silence felt wrong.No roar. No impact. No shaking walls.Just stillness.Rowan stood at the gate, blade raised. “Why did they stop?”Darian didn’t lower his weapon. “I don’t trust it.”“Neither do I,” I said.The doors stood closed again. Reinforced. Guarded.But the pressure from outside had vanished.Mira stepped closer to the threshold, eyes focused beyond the wood. “They’re still there.”“How many?” Kael asked.“Enough.”That wasn’t comforting.I moved beside her. “Are they waiting?”She hesitated. “Not like before.”“What does that mean?”“They’re not trying to break in.” She frowned slightly. “They’re… watching.”Darian let out a dry laugh. “Great. Now they think.”Rowan shot him a look. “They always thought. We just didn’t notice.”I placed my hand against the gate.Cold.But steady.No force pushing back.“They felt what happened,” I said.Kael crossed his arms. “You forcing the last one down.”“Yes.”“They learned from it.”“Everything learns,” I said.Rowan lowered his

The blade slipped from his grip, and the younger warrior knocked him flat.A few laughs broke out around the training ring.Kael hit the ground hard, breath pushed from his chest. Dust clung to his clothes as he stared up at the sky for a second.He didn’t move.Didn’t snap.Didn’t command.“Get up,” the young warrior said, offering a hand. “Or are you done already?”Kael took the hand.Pulled himself up.“I’m not done.”The circle tightened.Eyes watched him.Not as an Alpha.Not as a leader.Just another fighter.Rowan leaned against the fence, arms crossed. “You’re slower today.”Kael rolled his shoulder. “I noticed.”Darian chuckled. “You used to bark orders instead of taking hits.”“I deserved that one,” Kael said.The young warrior smirked. “Then come again.”Kael nodded.No pride.No anger.Just focus.They circled.This time, Kael moved first.Faster.Cleaner.He blocked, stepped in, and struck low.The young warrior stumbled but recovered quickly.“Better,” Rowan muttered.Dar

I heard them before I saw them.Their voices carried through the hall, low but sharp, like something trying not to break and failing anyway.“You should stay behind the second line.”“That’s not your call anymore.”I stopped at the corner.Didn’t move.Didn’t step in.Just listened.Kael and Elara.Of course.“I’m not giving an order,” Kael said. “I’m asking.”“And I’m saying no,” Elara replied.Her voice was calm.Too calm.The kind that didn’t bend.“You’re walking into something we don’t understand,” he pushed.“So are you.”“That’s different.”“How?”Silence.Then Kael said, quieter, “Because if something happens to you—”“Elara.”My voice came out before I could stop it.They both turned.I stepped into view.“Say it properly,” I added.Elara’s gaze softened slightly.Kael’s didn’t.Not yet.“Mira,” he said, “we’re in the middle of—”“I know,” I cut in. “That’s why I’m here.”Elara tilted her head. “What is it?”I hesitated.For the first time in a long time.“I need to understan

I almost destroyed them all.The force rose fast, sharp and wild, ready to tear through everything in front of me, enemy and ally alike.“Elara!” Kael’s voice cut through the noise. “Pull back!”I froze for half a second.That was all it took to see it.My power wasn’t just pushing the creatures.It was cracking the ground beneath our own warriors.Rowan stumbled. “Watch it!”Mira grabbed a falling soldier. “Careful!”The realization hit hard.If I kept going like this, I wouldn’t just win.I would wipe everything out.Including us.I clenched my fist.Forced the surge back.Pain shot through me, sharp and deep.“Don’t lose control,” Kael said, closer now.“I’m not,” I replied through gritted teeth.But it wasn’t that simple.The creatures didn’t stop.They pressed harder, faster, sensing the shift.“They’re pushing again!” Darian shouted.“Hold the line!” Rowan ordered.The formation tightened, but cracks showed.Too many angles.Too much pressure.Mira moved beside me. “If you don’t
