Alle Kapitel von Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Lycan king : Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

ZARIA'S POV"Oh my God, you look so perfect. You are just the right choice for Alpha Garrick, Zaria."Those were the sweet, supportive words my elder sister, Cynthia, whispered as she lovingly braided my hair and laced me into my white maiden silks. I trusted her completely, believing today would be the happiest day of my life."You really think so, Cynthia?" I asked, watching her hands move in the mirror. "My heart is beating completely out of my chest. I'm terrified.""Oh, stop your worrying, little sister," Cynthia said with a soft chuckle, tucking the final strand of my silver-blonde hair into place. "Garrick is completely devoted to you. You two are fated mates. It was always undeniable that he would choose you to be his Luna. You guys have come too far for him not to.""I just want to be everything he needs," I muttered, gripping the edges of the vanity. "I want to make you proud.""You already have." Cynthia patted my shoulder and glanced at her watch. "Look at the time. The gu

ZARIA'S POV The thunderous cheers of the pack hammered against my skull, each roar feeling like a physical blow to my chest. I leaned heavily against the open double doors, my hands gripping the carved wood just to stay upright. My vision was still terribly blurred from the poisoned tea, warping the entire courtyard into a fractured, sun-drenched nightmare. Up at the altar, Garrick stood tall and unbothered, his fingers laced tightly with Cynthia's. He looked out over the crowd, his face full of arrogant pride as he publicly proclaimed her name. The pack—the very people who had smiled at me just this morning—were screaming in pure ecstasy for my sister. They didn't even notice me standing at the back. To them, I was already invisible.Refusing to let them steal the life that belonged to me, I gathered the last of my physical strength. I tore my hands away from the wooden doors and forced my trembling legs forward, stumbling down the center aisle toward the altar. Every single step

ZARIA'S POV The steady, rhythmic beep of a heart monitor was the first sound I heard as I finally drifted back into consciousness. I blinked against the soft, warm lighting of the room, expecting the freezing rain or the damp earth of the ravine. Instead, I was staring at a ceiling of polished black marble. I shifted slightly, realizing I was lying on an incredibly soft mattress, tucked beneath crisp, high-thread-count sheets. "Easy there," a gentle, reassuring voice said from beside me.I flinched, my eyes darting to a kind-faced woman in a clean gray tunic. She was carefully adjusting the sterile bandages wrapped around my arms, her movements incredibly light and professional."Where am I? Who are you?" I croaked, my throat feeling like sandpaper. The lingering effects of the poison made my head throb, but the agonizing nausea was entirely gone. "And how did I get here?"The healer offered a warm, comforting smile as she checked the vitals on the digital monitor. "You are safe de

ZARIA'S POV "Drink it," Helen said, pressing a cold glass vial into my palm. "All of it.""I'm fine," I said, trying to pull my hands back. "The physical pain is manageable.""It’s not an option, Zaria. Your body just underwent a massive, unnatural trauma," Helen said, her grip tightening on my fingers until I took the bottle. "You don't have a wolf to heal you anymore. This medicine is for the residual burning in your veins. Take exactly three drops every single morning. Do not skip a dose, and don't even think about any strenuous physical activity. Your body needs to adjust to being completely human.""I get it," I muttered, staring down at the dark liquid. "Can I leave this room now?""Yes, you are officially discharged," Helen sighed, her stern professional expression softening into something that looked dangerously like pity. "But listen to me carefully. The world outside this medical suite is entirely different for you now. You must be cautious. You must be smart. Don't trust e

ARIA'S POV"What do you think you are doing?" Cassian’s voice sliced through the air, dangerously quiet. His eyes weren't golden anymore—they were burning a dark, feral crimson."Alpha!" Tanya choked out, the supernatural weight forcing her down onto one knee. Her heavy leather boot slipped away from my bleeding fingers as she struggled to draw breath. "I was only…. This outsider doesn't know her place.""Her place?" Cassian stepped directly into the center of the yard, his presence completely freezing the air around us. "And since when do you have the authority to decide who belongs in my home, Tanya? Tell me, because I seem to have forgotten appointing you as the judge of my guests.""She’s a human, King Cassian!" Tanya argued, her voice shaking violently but still laced with defensive arrogance. "She’s a rejected omega from a weak southern pack. She has no scent. She’s a jinx to our warriors, a parasite on our sacred territory! I was only showing her what happens to useless leeches
