All Chapters of The Four Princes and The Rejected Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Seraphina sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the broken pieces of wood scattered across her floor. The palace servants had not yet come to clean up the mess Jaxon and Kael had made. Her room felt empty and cold. She had to pack her few belongings soon to move into Kael’s wing, but she could not bring herself to move.She looked down at her hands. She really had nothing in this world.When King Draven found her eight years ago, she was starving, dirty, and half-dead in the cold forest. She did not have a royal trunk. She did not have any expensive dresses, jewelry, or family heirlooms. She was just a poor, homeless human girl. The King had taken her in, clothed her, and given her the title of a princess, but deep down, she always knew she was different from everyone else in this castle.Thinking about her past made a deep pain twist in her chest.She closed her eyes, and the memories of her childhood came rushing back. She remembered her biological father. He was a kind, gentle hum

Aurora stood in the center of Kael’s luxurious living room, her face twisted in pure anger. Her blue eyes flashed with hatred as she finally turned her head to look at Seraphina."Why is this human garbage staying in your quarters, Kael?" Aurora demanded, her voice high and sharp. "You are the future King! Your private wing is for your future Luna, not for an adopted orphan who doesn't even belong in our pack!"Seraphina kept her face blank, but her hands tightened into fists at her sides. She was used to Aurora’s insults, but hearing them here, in Kael’s space, made her blood boil.Kael did not flinch. He stood tall, his broad shoulders relaxed, but his amber eyes were completely cold as he looked down at Aurora. "You do not burst into my room demanding answers, Aurora. Remember your place."Aurora took a step closer to Kael, her angry expression quickly changing into a fake, sweet pout. She reached out her manicured hand and placed it firmly on Kael’s bare chest, sliding her fingers

Seraphina stood in front of the small mirror inside her new guest room, staring at her reflection. She wore a simple, plain gray dress made of cheap cotton. It had long sleeves that completely covered her arms, hiding the skin that had healed so miraculously the night before. Her dark hair was brushed straight down her back, and she wore no jewelry at all. She looked exactly like what Kael called her: a fragile, powerless human who was just a chore to the royal family.She took a deep, steady breath to calm the fluttering in her stomach. Play the part, she told herself silently. Let them believe you are weak. Let them think you are nothing.A sharp knock sounded on the bedroom door.Seraphina opened it to find Kael’s two personal guards standing in the hallway. They were massive werewolves dressed in heavy black armor. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes cold and unmoving. They did not bow to her. They did not greet her."The Alpha heir expects you in the dining hall," the gua

Inside the grand parlor of the palace, the morning sun was very bright. The room was filled with expensive velvet couches, gold tables, and heavy red curtains. It was a room made for royalty, but the beautiful sight did not calm Aurora down. She was walking back and forth across the thick rug, her face red with anger and her lips pulled into a heavy pout."I cannot stand this anymore, Father! It makes me look so stupid in front of the other wolves!" Aurora yelled. She picked up a fancy silk pillow from the couch and threw it across the room with all her strength. It hit the stone wall with a soft thud and fell to the floor.Sitting on a large leather chair near the warm fireplace was her father, Garrick. He was a very large, heavy man with graying hair and sharp, greedy eyes. He wore a fine, expensive black suit, and thick gold rings sparkled on almost every single one of his fingers.Garrick was the richest man in the entire werewolf pack. He owned the silver mines in the mountains,

The lunch hour came and went, but nobody came to check on Seraphina. The private wing of the Alpha heir was totally quiet. Kael was still away at the big council meeting with the pack elders and Aurora’s rich father, Garrick.Seraphina stood by her bedroom window, watching the clouds move slowly across the blue sky. The four walls of her room felt smaller and smaller by the minute. She could still smell Kael’s scent of pine wood and heavy rain on the sheets and the curtains. It was a nice smell, but right now, it just reminded her that she was living under his strict rules."I am not a prisoner," she said to herself, her voice small but firm in the quiet room. "Kael said I cannot wander the palace corridors alone. He didn't say I couldn't go outside for a walk."She looked down at her plain blue dress. It was simple and comfortable. She did not want to call the two big guards standing out in the main hallway. If she told them she wanted to go out, they would probably radio Kael, and K
