All Chapters of Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan kings : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Nysera’s POVI traced my fingers over the blue moon mark on Lyssara’s tiny arm the one Selene had placed there and my chest tightened until it hurt to breathe.All of this was his fault.“Vaelor,” I snarled under my breath, rage burning hot behind my eyes. He was the reason my daughter lay so fragile. He was the reason she had been born too early and forced to suffer every second of her short life.Tears blurred my vision as the terrifying thought crept in: what if Lyssara never connected with her wolf at all?Kaedrin had helped take some of her pain, then stormed out without a single word—not even a glance at Selene when she asked if he was all right.“Seris, are you okay?”Soraya’s soft voice came from behind me. I quickly wiped my cheeks, refusing to let her see the evidence of my tears. My eyes were already red and swollen; she would know the second she looked at me.“I’m fine,” I answered without turning around.“Do you need anything? Food, maybe? You haven’t eaten all day.”My s

Nysera’s POV “It’s starting!” Elaris squealed, practically diving onto the bed beside me as we both stared at the laptop screen. The garden feed was live, everything playing out exactly as planned. This whole setup had been Elaris’s idea. Staying out there ourselves wasn’t an option—Cassian was far too sharp for that. One glance and he’d have known we were watching. So she’d hidden a camera and linked it to the screens around the house so everyone could see. I still would’ve preferred being there in person, but this was the next best thing. Earlier, Elaris had dragged Cassian into the garden, shoved a bouquet into his hands, and locked the door behind him. He just stood there for a long moment, glaring at the wood like it had personally offended him. The second Elaris settled beside me, the candles along the path flickered to life. Soft light spilled across the red carpet and the trail of letters leading to the little table we’d set up. Curiosity finally won. Cassian turned away fr

Nysera’s POV“Nysera!” Elaris burst into the room at full volume.“Keep it down,” I snapped, spinning toward her. “You’ll wake the kids.”She froze, clearly startled, then her face fell into a pout.“How are you already up this early?” she asked, frowning.I smiled at my reflection in the mirror while I finished brushing my hair. “Couldn’t sleep much, so I got up.” It was a lie, of course. The truth was I’d spent the rest of the night talking with Cassian.Never in a million years would I have pictured the two of us having an actual decent conversation. Not only had I learned more about him, but he’d managed to keep my mind off the nightmares. There’d been a strange sort of warmth in it. My firm belief that he was nothing but an asshole had started to waver… until he suggested I sneak into Kaedrin’s or Vaeric’s room for a good fuck because I was “acting like an old lady.”He had his decent moments. He was still an asshole.“I got up early just so I could wake you,” Elaris sulked.I ro

Nysera’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, frowning at my reflection. Two days had passed since I’d accepted the challenge to fight Elaris, and with every hour my confidence kept shrinking.One day of training with Cassian had been enough to show me exactly how far behind I was. My odds of beating him right now were maybe one in ten, yet Elaris had done it like it was nothing. If I couldn’t even hold my own against him, how was I supposed to beat her? Even the guards everyone called weak compared to her were still stronger than me. After Cassian’s drilling I could maybe take a few of them, but Elaris was still completely out of reach.The closer tomorrow came, the colder my feet got. Ever since Thorne had told me she was the legendary Lycan who fought like a demon, the whole challenge had started feeling like the biggest mistake of my life.Giving up had never looked more tempting. But it wasn’t an option. The entire house was already talking ab

Nysera’s POV“Are you sure you’re okay, Seris?” Cassian watched me with open suspicion. I hadn’t been myself since Kaedrin and Vaeric left. My mind kept drifting back to how good it felt when they both kissed me. Nothing with Vaelor had ever felt like that.The whole thing was different, and just thinking about it made me restless. How could two people stir that much feeling in me at once?“Seris Vale?” Cassian’s voice pulled me back.“I’m fine,” I said, forcing a tight smile.“Liar,” he muttered under his breath. I heard it anyway. How was I supposed to explain that Kaedrin and Vaeric were the reason I was like this? I couldn’t tell him the things they’d done to me.We stood just outside the sparring grounds. Elaris was already warming up inside. Guards and servants filled the seats, cheering loudly for her, but none of it seemed to reach her. She looked like she’d rather be anywhere else.“Listen,” Cassian said, reclaiming my attention. “I don’t know what’s got you so twisted up, bu
