บททั้งหมดของ The Rejected Omega Who Was Claimed by the Alpha King: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Inside the CastleRowan's POVThe corridors of the castle were unlike anything I'd ever seen. And the deeper we descended, the colder the air became.Our footsteps echoed against the ancient stone walls worn smooth by time. A servant carrying a lantern walked ahead of us.Kael followed beside me, but neither of us spoke. It felt wrong to disturb the silence.The staircase finally ended before an enormous iron door.It stood nearly twice my height, its surface carved with wolves standing inside a crescent moon. The carvings were so old that parts of them had begun to fade.Yet one thing remained perfectly clear, a familiar symbol. I stopped walking, even my breathing caught.It was the same symbol that had appeared on the hunters' emblem, the same shape that had briefly glowed on my wrist.Only this version looked... complete. And Kael noticed my reaction. "You've seen it before." It wasn't a question. I nodded."The hunters carried something similar, not similar."His voice was calm.

A Truth Buried in BloodRowan's POVI couldn't sleep after that confession from Aldren, not again.The castle was silent, but my mind wasn't.A rejected mate, a hidden heir and a royal bloodline. But none of it felt real. I stood on the balcony outside my room, staring at the endless snow-covered mountains of the Northern Kingdom. The cold wind brushed against my face, but it couldn't quiet the storm inside me.Who really was I? The question haunted me badly, before that, a footsteps sounded behind me. "I thought I'd find you here." Kael. I didn't turn around. "You don't sleep much."His voice was calm. "Neither do you."A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth."No." He stepped beside me, resting his forearms against the stone railing. For a while, we simply watched the sunrise.Unlike Damon, Kael never rushed to fill the silence, but strangely...that made it easier to breathe. Finally, I spoke."Do you believe him?"Kael didn't answer just immediately. "I believe he believes what

The Secret Within the BondRowan's POVThe First King's Road disappeared behind us before the sun reached its highest point, but we never continued to the sanctuary.Not after what happened, not after my body betrayed me. I remembered the battle, the arrows and the sound of steel against steel. The strange power that had erupted from my hands and then...nothing but only darkness.When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the frozen trees, but I was inside the Northern Castle. My first thought was confusion, and my second was fear, real fear. Because I remembered Kael's face before everything went black.Not the calm, emotionless expression the entire world knew, but something else, something I had never seen before. A face full of fear, for me. That realization alone unsettled me more than the attack itself.Slowly, I opened my eyes, the familiar ceiling of my chamber appeared above me. The heavy curtains, the fireplace and the strange decorations. Hmm! I was home.But I had no

The King’s Unspoken PromiseRowan’s POVI had always believed that safety would feel like a cage, maybe because every place that claimed to protect me had eventually become the place that hurt me.Nightfang had called me family, yet I had grown up feeling like an outsider. Damon had called me his mate, yet he had destroyed me in front of everyone. So when Kael brought me to the Northern Kingdom and surrounded me with guards, healers, and royal protection, a part of me kept waiting for the moment when it would disappear.Waiting for the kindness to become a transaction, and waiting for the protection to come with a price again. But days passed, then weeks and Kael never asked for anything, not once. He never demanded loyalty because he was a king.He never reminded me that my existence had become important to his kingdom.He never looked at me like I was a treasure to be guarded, but he looked at me like I was Rowan and somehow, that frightened me more than anything else.Because I did

The Heir No One Knew ExistedRowan’s POVThe castle changed after the news. Not completely, and not in a way that anyone else would notice but I noticed. The way guards stood closer to my chambers, the way servants lowered their voices when I walked past.The way healers watched me with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Everyone knew something important had happened, but they just didn't know exactly what. Only a handful of people knew the truth.Kael, Lady Miriam, the royal healers, Commander Selene, Beta Garrick and Scholar Elias.For now, the secret remained inside these walls, but secrets had never stayed hidden forever. I knew that better than anyone.The days after the confirmation were strange. Not painful, not frightening but just unfamiliar.I had spent my entire life believing my body was something that made me weak.Something others used as an excuse to look down on me. I'm an Omega, a burden and a disappointment. But now my body carried something precious, something powe
