All Chapters of Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LyraI didn’t stop.I kept moving step by step, grip by grip.My body shook slightly at first, but the fact that I knew the golden wolf was with me made something steady begin to settle inside me again… like an invisible hand holding my balance.I swallowed hard as I climbed higher.The wind grew stronger the higher I went, brushing against my skin, tugging at my focus. My arms burned. My fingers ached. My legs trembled slightly each time I searched for the next foothold.But I didn’t stop. While I climbed, my thoughts drifted back to it again.‘Who are you?’ I asked in my mind.There was no answer at first. Only the sound of the wind and my heartbeat.Then, faintly, I heard a low, soft sigh… sad in a way I didn’t understand.Like someone who had been holding words for a long time but couldn’t release them.My chest tightened slightly.“Hello?” I whispered under my breath, barely moving my lips as I climbed.Nothing. No response.I swallowed and tried again, my thoughts sharper this t

LyraI turned sharply at the sound of the voice.Standing behind us was Agnes. Her hands were folded neatly in front of her, and her expression was stern enough to make my smile falter immediately."Oh." I sighed softly, realizing it was her, before offering her a small smile. "Good evening, Agnes."Her gaze moved briefly between Ronan and me."We were just talking," I added.Agnes didn't return the smile. Not even a little. The atmosphere immediately became awkward.Beside me, Ronan seemed to sense it too. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck."Actually..." he began. "I was just leaving. Caleb and I still have somewhere important to go." Then his grin returned. "But I'm really proud of you, housekeeper. What you did today was impressive. I'll see you around sometime?"A smile tugged at my lips."Thank you."He gave me one last wave before turning and heading down the garden path.The moment he disappeared from sight, Agnes stepped forward, stood directly in front of

LyraI gasped.The moment I stepped through the hallway behind Kael and emerged into the space beyond, it felt as if I had walked into another world entirely."What in the world..."My feet stopped moving.I simply stood there and stared.The place before me looked nothing like the building we had just entered.It was enormous.A living, breathing paradise.Towering trees stretched toward the sky, their branches weaving together overhead like a natural canopy. Sunlight filtered through the leaves in golden beams, dancing across the ground below.Monkeys swung effortlessly from branch to branch above us.One leaped through the air and landed on another tree, causing a shower of leaves to flutter down.Another sat comfortably on a thick branch, munching on fruit while watching the world below.My gaze drifted farther, and I saw a small lake on one side of the path. Its surface was covered with beautiful floating plants and broad green leaves.Clusters of purple water hyacinths bloomed a

HarryI walked through the apartment door behind Rocky.The moment both of us stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind us with a heavy metallic click.My instincts immediately sharpened.Without thinking, my hand moved to the strap of the cross bag hanging across my shoulder. My fingers curled around it tightly as my eyes swept across the room.The interior wasn't exactly what I had expected.The outside of the apartment had looked abandoned, but the inside was different. It looked very old, but clean.The cream-colored walls showed cracks in some places, but someone had clearly taken the time to maintain them.A large antique clock hung against one wall, and several old paintings decorated the room.Near the far end stood a massive rocking chair that sat directly facing a large window, but the chair's back was turned toward us.I turned toward Rocky."Where's the client?"Rocky offered an awkward smile."Relax," Rocky said quickly. "Exercise some patience. He's here."Just then,

LyraThe kitchen was unusually busy this afternoon.Large baskets of vegetables occupied nearly every corner, while the servants moved in and out carrying sacks of grain and spices. The entire pack was preparing for the Red Full Moon celebration in just a few days' time, and the excitement could practically be felt in the air.I sat beside Gwen on a stool, helping her sort vegetables into separate baskets.At least... I was supposed to be helping.The truth was, I had spent more time watching everyone bustle around than actually helping.This would be my first Red Full Moon celebration in Stormfang Pack. The thought alone filled me with curiosity."Gwen? How is the Red Full Moon celebration celebrated here in the pack? This will actually be my first time experiencing it here."I waited for an answer, but nothing came. I turned my head toward her and noticed that Gwen wasn't paying attention to me at all.Her fingers absentmindedly plucked at the vegetables in her hands in a completely
