Rejected By An Alpha Claimed By A Rogue King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The air of the night felt wrong, Though not dangerous. Not hostile. But wrong.Like the world itself had shifted while everyone slept, and only I could feel the difference.I woke with a sharp inhale, my body tense before my mind fully caught up. Sweat clung to my skin despite the cold drifting through the open windows. My pulse hammered unevenly against my ribs, and for a moment I couldn’t tell if I had been dreaming or remembering something I had never lived.Then it came again that pull. Deep and ancient.Calling to something buried beneath my skin.I sat upright instantly.Across the room, Azrael was already awake.Of course he was.The darkness wrapped around him as he stood near the window, his sharp eyes fixed on the forest outside. Moonlight carved silver lines across his face, making him look less like a man and more like one of the creatures old stories warned children about.His expression tightened the second he looked at me.It’s happening again. I swallowed slowly and no

The moment it disappeared i dropped to my knees.Pain exploded through my arm so suddenly that for a second I couldn’t breathe. It wasn’t ordinary pain. It felt alive. Like something sharp had buried itself beneath my skin and was carving its way through bone.Aria!Azrael was beside me instantly, his hands gripping my shoulders before I could collapse completely. The world tilted violently around me, the ruined forest blurring into streaks of black trees and silver fog.I clutched my wrist with my good hand, teeth grinding together hard enough to ache.Something’s wrong, I forced out.The pain intensified. Then I saw it.A mark. Dark against my skin.At first it looked like bruising beneath my wrist, but then the shape shifted. Moved. Thin black lines curled beneath my flesh like living ink, faint silver light pulsing through them in uneven rhythms.Azrael’s expression changed instantly.Fear. Real fear.That wasn’t there before, he said quietly.No, I whispered. It wasn’t. The mark

The ground shook before it arrived.It wasn't lightly.Not like distant thunder rolling across the mountains.The earth violently trembled beneath our feet, sending cracks racing through the frozen soil like dark veins splitting apart the world itself. Snow slid from the branches overhead. Birds burst from the trees in frantic waves.Every instinct inside me screamed.Run.This time there was no warning.No eerie silence before danger appeared.No careful footsteps circling the edge of the forest.No patient predator studying us from the shadows.Only destruction. The forest exploded outward.Trees snapped in half like brittle twigs. Massive trunks were ripped from the ground entirely, roots tearing free in showers of dirt and ice. The sound was deafening—wood breaking, earth collapsing, wolves snarling in alarm.The pack scattered instantly.Warriors who had faced rogues, hunters, and monsters without hesitation moved back in fear.Because whatever was coming wasn’t normal.It emerge

It came in the dark. Not as an attack.Not as a vision. As a presence.You’re persistent, I said without turning.You are resistant.I crossed my arms. Try again later.A pause.Then you want to protect them.I didn’t respond.Because it wasn’t wrong.You cannot. My jaw tightened. Watch me.Not like this. I turned now.Then say what you came to say.It stepped closer. Not threatening.Almost… patient.Take it.Power surged between us.Not forced. Offered.My wolf stirred.Curious. Tempted.What happens if I do? I asked.You become what you were meant to be.And if I don’t?A pause.Then You watch them fall.My chest tightened. It wasn’t lying.That was the problem.I won’t become something I don’t understand.You already are.That hit. Hard.Because it felt true.I stepped back.No.The word came firm. Final.The Ancient studied me.Then you will learn the hard way.And disappeared. I exhaled slowly.Shaken.Not because I almost accepted.But because part of me wanted to.At dawn, a f

The First’s attention snapped toward Azrael.Not me. Not the wolf.Him.I felt the pull, an almost magnetic force dragging him toward the largest fragment. His eyes widened.No! I screamed, but he only smiled grimly.I’ve got this, he said.Before I could protest, he hurled himself forward, embedding his energy into a barrier between him and the First. A pulse of blinding light erupted.The fragments screamed this was new. They had never faced two wills in perfect synchronicity. Azrael’s sacrifice created a temporary rift. But he was holding the brunt. Every second he maintained the barrier, the strain on his body grew. I could feel his energy weakening.Aria! he shouted, voice strained. Don’t hold back! Use everything!I did.The mark on my arm flared violently. My wolf rose, fully visible, fur black as the void, eyes silver with fury. Our bond, Azrael’s strength, Night Fang training, every fragment of power I had ever known everything surged forward.The fragments screamed as they c
