All Chapters of REJECTED AND REDEEMED : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER 71: SECRETS ARE BEING REVEALEDThe great hall was already full before Arden arrived.That was the first thing that unsettled everyone.There were no long tables covered with roasted meat, no golden plates of fruit, no servants carrying wine, and no musicians playing near the raised platform. The hall had not been prepared for a celebration.It had been prepared for judgment.The doors stood wide open, allowing the cold morning air to sweep inside. People crowded the entrance, the courtyard, and the stone steps outside. Warriors stood shoulder to shoulder with villagers, servants, nobles, and members of nearly every family in the pack.Almost everyone had come.Some had been summoned.Others had followed because rumors had spread through the kingdom before sunrise.The great hall itself was packed so tightly that people had to stand along the walls. Those who could not fit inside gathered outside beneath the gray sky, peering through the open doors and windows. No one was turne

CHAPTER 72: THE PRICE OF BETRAYALArden stood before the accused while the entire pack watched.Bronze, Marius, Mara, and Lyra were placed in a line beneath the raised platform. Guards surrounded them, but the guards were not the only thing preventing escape. Hundreds of eyes followed their every movement.Outside, the crowd had grown even larger.The great hall doors remained open, and the cold wind moved through the room, stirring cloaks and carrying the scent of wet earth from the courtyard. No one complained about the cold. No one wanted to leave before the judgment was spoken.Arden’s voice echoed through the hall.“Bronze. Marius. Mara. Lyra.”Lyra closed her eyes.“You betrayed the crown, endangered my mate, supplied information to enemies, and attempted to destroy the peace of this kingdom.”He looked toward the elders.“The elders who should have protected this pack were scheming against it.”Elder Helena lowered her gaze.Elder Kade’s jaw tightened.Elder Voss looked sick.E

CHAPTER 74: DARK ROOM It was morning already, Gaius walked into the office knocking on the table to get Arden's attention. “Morning alpha, you said you will be seeing the new prisoners today, are you sticking to that plan or you've got something else to do?”“I'll be sticking to the plans, I'm done with what I have on ground, also you'll be sending some warriors to the cold stone pack to check on what is going on, two should be sent directly, tell them it's from the king and send two in disguise, that way we know what is happening both what they're hiding and what they are ready to reveal.” He continued taking pulling out two different files and placing them before Gaius who frowned upon looking at them.“Two different reports from the same pack?”“Yes, one saying the pack is under distress and attack, another with the pack’ s stamp saying everything is under control and the pack is free of attack. I even sent a letter requesting to see the alpha and he replied saying he's busy for t

CHAPTER 76: ETHAN'S PLAN Ethan just drove into the shadow moon's pack, his home, a place where he would soon be alpha, it's been a long time since he visited, he has been spending more time with Darian, tracking his progress and making sure he does nothing without him knowing. He low-key missed his home, his mum even but not her unnecessary ranting and talking, he marched forward as he was greeted by guards and staff passing by, he smiled widely, it's been a long time since he was respected this way, outside this pack he was seen like nothing he was here. His thoughts got distracted by the sound of his mum's voice. Luna Sophia hadn't been expecting to see her son today, it's been a long while and he looks more responsible now and she was happy he was doing better now.Ethan hugged his mother tightly breathing In her nice and warm scent, he missed her even more than he admitted and she obviously did the same. “How have you been, I have missed you, look at you, you've grown so much my

CHAPTER 78: THE NORTHERN KINGDOMNORTHERN KINGDOM A man with forest green eyes sat on the throne his fingers tapping lightly on his throne, the room was dead quiet as everyone pondered their next move, it was obvious there was a big problem, everyone deep in thought and distress written all over their faces, four men sitted In front of him, sometimes they would whisper among themselves after a long time of thinking they all waited for the king to speak. “We have sent a letter to the southern king, hoping to get his reply, when it comes we will know what to do, we can't just plan an attack just like that, remember we have something to lose.” The king said.“But my king, our people are dying, many loved ones are nowhere to be found, the same thing we're benefitting from them is the same thing they are using to hurt our people.” somebody said in an angry tone, he was not pleased by the situation on ground.“But Martin, how sure are we that it is not rogues, why do you believe it's
