Alle Kapitel von Rejecting the Heir, Fucking the Alpha's Father: Kapitel 51 – Kapitel 60

You did what?” I growled, my claws itching to break through my skin as I paced the length of the Stone Legal Chambers.Dominic Stone sat behind his massive mahogany desk, his scent thick with the metallic tang of desperation and the cloying sweetness of a new scheme. “I did what was necessary for the Stone bloodline, Aria. You’re lucky I didn’t exile you to the rogue lands after you humiliated the Draven heir at the altar.”“Lucky?” I let out a sharp, jagged laugh. “You signed over my inheritance to a legal vault because you’re afraid of the High Alpha’s shadow.”“I’m afraid of nothing,” he snapped, though the slight tremor in his hand betrayed him. “But the Moon Council doesn’t look kindly on broken bonds. You have thirty days to prove you aren't a liability to this pack. If you can't find a way to tether us to a power greater than Ethan Draven, then the Stone Manor—and everything inside it—is forfeit to the council.”I stared at him, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped

“Hospital. Now. I am not debating this with a High Alpha who can barely keep his eyes open.”Peter shifted his weight against the headboard, his golden eyes clouded with the haze of an Alpha’s fever-shift. “Not going, Aria. My wolf doesn't do well in sterile cages.”“You have to go, Peter. If your core temperature hits the ceiling, your brain is going to fry before the next moon rises.”He turned his face away, the stubbornness of a pack leader evident in the set of his jaw. “It won’t fry. I’ll just take the suppressants. I’ll be fine once the sun is up.”“Do you even have a medical kit in this massive den?” I asked, my voice rising with a sharp, protective edge.“Downstairs. Under the cedar table in the Great Hall. The black iron box.”I didn't waste a heartbeat. I bolted out of the master suite, my feet flying over the plush rugs of the Draven Alpha Estate until I reached the living area. I grabbed the fever reducer specifically formulated for High Alphas and rushed back up, a glass

You’re telling me that the Starwave legal pack is already using the ‘Fresh’ album cover to block our inquiries? That means they didn't just steal Jay’s melody; they pillaged the visual spirit of the pack as well.”I looked at the documents Jay had spread across the table at the Stone Legal Chambers. My wolf was pacing, sensing a scent I knew all too well—the scent of a Harris move.“It’s a complete blackout, Ms. Stone,” Jay replied, his voice barely a rasp. “They aren't just claiming the notes are theirs; they’re claiming the very imagery of my family’s heritage belongs to Starwave. Is it true? Is Lila Draven really untouchable?”I hesitated. Lila wasn't just any rising star; she was the female being groomed to stand beside Ethan as the next Alpha-mate of the Harris bloodline.“My firm used to be the primary counsel for Starwave,” I explained, my voice tight. “But after the bond between Ethan and me was severed, Ivan Barton—my boss—let the contract turn to ash. He didn't want the Harr

“Aria, get back inside before I lose my temper and shift right here on your porch.”Ethan’s voice was a jagged rasp, his eyes glowing a dangerous amber in the moonlight. I stood my ground, my silk nightgown fluttering against my legs, the heavy wool cardigan pulled tight around my neck. My hair was a tangled mess, but I didn't care.“You’ve got exactly sixty seconds to bark whatever is on your mind, Ethan. Then I’m calling the Council enforcers to trespass you from Stone territory.”Ethan’s gaze dropped, lingering on the pale skin of my collarbone where my bond-mark used to be. I saw him swallow hard, his scent thick with a mixture of repressed longing and territorial aggression. He looked like a wolf who had been starved for a month and was finally seeing meat.I felt a wave of pure revulsion wash over me. I yanked the cardigan shut, overlapping the fabric to hide every inch of skin from his prying eyes. “If you’re here to admire the view, you’re about a month too late. Speak.”“Was

"Enough of this howling nonsense! I’ve reached my limit. I don’t want to hear another growl. Move along, I have a high-ranking client arriving for a consultation shortly," Elder Magnus Draven barked, dismissing Victor with a weary wave of his hand that carried the weight of a Pack Alpha.As Aria Stone stepped into the Law Chambers, she caught sight of Victor emerging from Magnus’s office, his expression as grave as a winter moon.Victor noticed her and jerked his chin toward the back corridor. "In my office. Now."Aria immediately sensed the primal urgency in his tone and followed him, her pulse racing like a hunted deer.Dominic and Lila exchanged glances across the hall, their eyes reflecting a mix of pack concern and confusion. For a fleeting moment, it felt as if the very oxygen had been drained from the corridor, leaving only the scent of oncoming rain."Alpha," Aria spoke softly, her voice barely a breath. One glance at Victor’s face told her the bond of this situation was sever
