All Chapters of Rejected, Then Claimed. The Alpha's Echo Luna : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Kate’s P.O.V.Osiris’s dark eyes remained fixed on me as he stepped closer, the soft balcony lights tracing sharp shadows over his face.“Can I know,” he asked, his voice dipped in teasing warmth, “why I am getting lucky tonight?”Heat rushed to my cheeks instantly.Goddess, why did he have to look at me like that?I lowered my gaze for a second, fingers twisting together nervously, before I forced myself to answer.“I was ill before. But I rested properly today, and I feel much better now, so… I thought…”My voice faded embarrassingly.Osiris’s lips curved in a soft, dangerously beautiful smile. The one that made me feel weak in my knees.“You thought well.”Before I could recover, his arm slid around my waist and pulled me flush against his chest.“I was worried about you, Kate.”My heart melted stupidly fast.This alpha truly had no idea how devastating he could be when he lowered his guard!I looked up at him, getting lost for one dangerous second in those molten golden eyes befor

Kate’s P.O.V.“How is that even possible?”I stared at Osiris in disbelief, my pulse still uneven.“There has to be some special connection between a Fenrir alpha and an omega. Maybe your bloodline has unusual mate-bonds or…”“Kate.”Osiris’s deep voice softened as he cupped my face gently.“Relax.”Well, that was easy for him to say.I could hear his wolf. Not just growls.Words.Actual words.And according to him, that should have been impossible.“I have never heard of this happening before,” he spoke carefully. “But bonds between omegas and Kessler alphas are rare.We will look into it together.”Together.The single word calmed me slightly.“Ancient records may have answers,” he added, his thumb brushing my cheek. “There are old texts about unusual mate-bonds in the family archives.”I nodded slowly, though unease still twisted inside me.Osiris noticed it too.His golden eyes darkened with warmth as he leaned closer, his voice dropping into a husky murmur.“You made me a very h

Osiris’s P.O.V.The moment I heard Kate had gone to the orphanage, I walked out of the meeting without waiting for the final report.The council representatives were still speaking when I pushed my chair back and left the conference room, ignoring the startled looks behind me.My wolf stirred inside me immediately.“Kate is unpredictable,” Ace said with clear satisfaction. “I like it.”“You like every troublesome thing she does,” I muttered while striding through the pack grounds.The guards at the gates instantly lowered their heads.“Alpha.”I barely acknowledged them.Ace chuckled darkly inside my head.“You are angry because she keeps escaping your sight.”“She is pregnant with twins,” I snapped at him. “She shouldn’t wander around without informing me first.”“Yet you smile every time she does, Osiris.”The worst part was that Ace was right!I had truly thought Kate would stay in bed today, reading the omega-bond books I brought for her. Instead, she somehow ended up distributin

Kate’s P.O.V.“Why?”Osiris’s cold voice sliced through the office sharply, the warmth in the room vanishing.I straightened unconsciously in my chair as his aura shifted into something darker… heavier.The way he behaved like a terrifying alpha!His golden eyes locked onto Kayla with pure warning, each word landing with unrivaled authority.“I specifically instructed everyone not to disturb me. You dare defy my order, Kayla?”Even I felt pressured beneath that tone, my gaze lowering automatically despite being an omega.Kayla immediately bowed her head in submission.“I don’t dare, Alpha.”For the first time since I met her, her composure cracked. Her voice trembled.“It’s urgent.”Osiris remained unmoved. The office suddenly felt smaller beneath his oppressive presence.Kayla swallowed hard before continuing cautiously.“The head of the Werewolf Council wishes to speak with you immediately, Alpha.”That caught Osiris’s attention.I noticed the slight narrowing of his eyes. Then his

Kate’s P.O.V.Heat slammed into my face the moment I crossed the doors of the east wing. Smoke curled through the air thickly, making it hard to breathe.Somewhere deeper inside, wood cracked violently while panicked voices echoed through the burning corridor.“Move back!”“The fire’s spreading!”The sharp voices screamed danger, but I couldn’t stop.Not when Osiris was here.My pulse pounded wildly as I pushed forward through the smoke, my eyes burning from the heat.“Osiris!”No answer.Only chaos deepened further.Servants rushed past me in panic, coughing and shielding their faces. One maid nearly collided with me before stumbling away.“Run!” she cried hysterically. “The fire is wild! We are all going to die!”My heart lurched painfully.“No,” I gasped while moving deeper inside. “No… it can’t hurt him.”Fear twisted violently inside me, sharp enough to make my chest ache physically.The corridor looked like a nightmare.Flames climbed the walls hungrily while smoke darkened the
