All Chapters of Rejected By The Alpha Claimed By The Lycan King: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"We have to go after her." I pull away from Luna. "Right now. Before we lose her trail." "She doesn't want to be found." Luna wipes her tears. "She ran from us. From me. Maybe we should respect that." "Respect watching our granddaughter fall to darkness?" I shake my head. "No. I won't accept that. I'm going after her." "Then we're coming too." Kai steps beside me. "All of us." "Luna should stay." Damon looks at my daughter. "You're too emotionally compromised. You just lost your husband again. You need to grieve. To heal." "I need my daughter." Luna's voice breaks. "But you're right. I can't help her like this. I'd only make things worse." She hugs me. Tight. Desperate. "Bring her back, Mom. Please. Don't let the darkness take her." "I won't." I kiss her forehead. "I promise." My four mates surround me. Ready. Determined. United. "Where do we start?" Zephyr asks. "We don't know which reality she fled to." "Yes we do." I close my eyes. Feel for the bond. The connection. The vo

I'm standing before my family. They're all staring at me. Waiting for my decision. "We can't save both," Trinity says. "Hope is in the void. Saving her requires going there. Staying there. Fighting infinite darkness. It could take years. Decades. Centuries." "And we only have eighteen years to find our cure." Damon looks at me. "If we spend that time saving Hope, we doom ourselves. We become True Voids. We destroy everything she sacrificed herself to protect." "But if we don't save her, she becomes void completely." Luna's voice shakes. "Loses herself. Forgets us. Becomes the enemy. Can we live with that?" I look at my four mates. At the men I love. At the future True Voids I saw. "What do you think?" I ask them. "Honestly." Kai speaks first. "I think we focus on the cure. Save ourselves. Then use our saved selves to save Hope. We can't help her if we're void." "I disagree." Zephyr shakes his head. "Hope saved us. We owe her. We go after her. Now. Whatever it costs." "I think w

"What cure?" I grab my mother's arm. "Tell me. Now. Before we transform completely." "It's not a cure that removes the pieces." She looks at me with sad eyes. "It's a cure that transfers them. From you to someone else. Someone strong enough to hold them. Someone who can survive being the permanent host." "Who?" Kai asks. Still fighting transformation. "Who could possibly survive that?" "Me." My mother smiles. "I can. Because I'm already dead. Already a ghost. Already between. The Void King pieces can't fully corrupt what's not fully alive." "But you'll be trapped." I shake my head. "Forever holding darkness. Forever fighting corruption. Forever suffering." "Yes." She nods. "But you'll live. You and your mates. You and Luna. You and the future. That's worth it." "No." I back away. "I won't let you. Won't sacrifice you. Not again." "It's not your choice." She reaches for me. "It's mine. And I choose this. I choose saving my daughter. My granddaughter. My family." "How are you eve

Hope has no memories. We've been trying for weeks. Showing her pictures. Telling stories. Begging her to remember. But there's nothing. Just blank stares and apologetic smiles. "I'm sorry," she says again. Looking at Luna with sad eyes. "I know you're my mother. I can feel it. But I don't remember you. Don't remember any of this." Luna breaks down crying. Again. Like she does every day. "My baby. My baby forgot me." I hold her. Both of us grieving. Both of us lost. We won the war but lost so much. My mother. Gone. Hope's memories. Erased. Zephyr and Erebus. Changed forever. Luna's powers. Drained completely. Nothing is the same. Nothing is whole. Nothing is right. "We should be grateful." Kai tries to stay positive. "Hope is alive. Human. Safe. That's what matters." "Is it?" I look at him. "She's a stranger now. She doesn't know us. Doesn't love us. Doesn't remember sacrificing herself or being void or any of it. She's just a five year old girl with no past." "Then we give her

The True Origin breaks through. It's not a being. Not a creature. Not anything I can describe. It's everything. All realities. All timelines. All existence. Compressed into one impossible form. And it wants me. "Aurora Sinclair." Its voice is all voices. Every sound ever made speaking at once. "You are chosen. You are worthy. You are mine." "I'm not yours." I stand. Defiant. "I'm my own. I choose myself. Not you." "You don't understand." It moves closer. Not walking. Just existing closer. "I'm not asking. I'm claiming. You were made for this. Created for this. Born for this. Since before your first breath." "What do you mean?" "Your father." It gestures to Marcus. "He wasn't corrupted by accident. I corrupted him. Made him void. Made him meet your mother. Made him create you. Every step planned. Every moment designed. Every choice leading here." Horror floods through me. "You manipulated my entire existence?" "I created your entire existence." It sounds proud. "You are my mast
