บททั้งหมดของ The Silver Alpha's Rejected Mate : บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

SELENEFriday sat heavy in my chest.Breathing felt wrong, shallow, like my lungs forgot their job. My heart kept pushing forward, loud and fast, as if it wanted out. I paced the room while the guards carried my travel bags downstairs.I was going to see Orion.“Shit.”The word slipped out as I dropped onto the neatly made bed and bit my lip. Why would Maria set this up? The plan had been to disappear into the Ashen Dominion until the war was done. No one even knew when that would be.A voice cut through my thoughts.“Hey!”The door stood open. Ash leaned there with a grin that looked far too relaxed for the moment. I narrowed my eyes and turned away with a huff. This meeting had been his idea in the first place.“It’s been five years, Ash,” I said.He shrugged and walked in, careless, almost dancing as he came closer.“You are not the same girl who stood naked in front of my pack, covered in blood that wasn’t yours,” he said easily. “You’re stronger now. More beautiful. More dangerou

SELENEMorning found me stretched out on the High Ledge, eyes half open, face tilted toward the sun. Real warmth soaked into my skin, not the sharp heat of burning or sparks. Just warmth. Honest and slow.Last night had not been terrible. The air was mild, yet the room felt too hot to stay in. Bed sheets clung. Walls closed in. Stepping outside had helped. The open air had settled something in me.Still, something had been wrong.No strange sounds. No warning signs. No fear crawling up my spine. Instead, my body had been alive in a way that made no sense. Heat sat low and deep, sharp in places it should not have been. Thoughts drifted where they should not have gone. Images formed without effort. Different positions. Different angles. One Alpha. His hands. His control. His mouth.At one point, it almost pushed me out the door and down the hall.Heat crossed my mind, but that was not it. No scent shift. No pull outward. No signal my body usually gave. Nothing leaving me. It stayed insi

SELENE “He is the one acting like he knows everything,” the words came out sharp. The end of my voice twisted strangely, rough and wrong, and my eyes widened when I heard it. Everyone else noticed too.Before sense caught up, Alpha Orion Cyrus stood right in front of me. His icy blue eyes were cold, focused, and his hand closed around my right arm. The heat inside me dropped fast, too fast.“Get your hands off me.” I yanked my arm away. “You know what we should be talking about? Training this afternoon. Getting stronger. That is what matters. I will train. I will get better. I will defeat the Eclipse Star. But this nonsense about me needing him is not happening. Once this is done, we all go our separate ways.”The words ended there. Feet carried me out of the meeting room and into the hall. Each step hit the ground hard. Anger pushed me forward, but pain followed close behind, tearing through my chest. Vision blurred slightly. Weak. That was how I must have looked. Like someone who h

SELENEHe kept holding back, even if it was only a little, and that small restraint made my skin crawl. It felt like he was measuring me. Like he saw me as fragile. That thought cut deeper than any strike.Calm eyes stayed fixed on me. Steady. Unbothered. His face was still clean, untouched, as if none of this mattered to him.Anger pushed my body before my mind could catch up. A kick flew out. Strong hands grabbed my leg and sent me crashing to the ground. The impact stung, but I was back on my feet almost instantly. Surprise slipped into my expression before I could bury it.His eyes changed.The familiar warmth faded into an icy blue that belonged to his wolf. A hesitant frown formed.Please. That was not me.Energy surged through me like a storm that had nowhere to go. The air felt tight. Feet moved fast, carrying me straight at him. Two sharp slaps landed against his face before balance faltered and I hit the ground again.The only person who can save you is you.That thought bur

SELENE Heat clung to me. Not the mild kind. This one burned inside and out. My body would not settle. Turning on the bed did nothing, so legs pressed together, tight, useless. All that filled my mind was the need to feel right. Not later. Now.Sweat gathered along my hairline. The heavy duvet felt like weight instead of comfort. Staying there made it worse. Standing felt like the only choice.The moment feet touched the floor, strength left my knees. The fall was sudden, sharp, and full of want. A rush spread through me, thick and demanding.Was this him again?If Alpha Orion stood outside that door, a punch would be waiting. This was not like the night before. This was stronger. Louder. My body felt like it was calling for attention and would not stop.Crawling led me to the High Ledge. Cool air met overheated skin as I sat and looked out. The Silver Sovereign glowed red, watching.A curse slipped out when my hand moved on its own. No thought guided it. Even without doing much, the
