All Chapters of REJECTED BY THE ALPHA,CLAIMED BY THE ROGUE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The morning sun filtered through the trees as Celine made her way to the training grounds, her muscles already protesting from the early chores. She’d barely slept, the weight of tomorrow pressing on her like a stone. The path wound past rows of wooden cabins and the central fire pit where pack meetings often stretched late into the night. Wolves nodded at her in passing, some polite, others indifferent. No one stopped to chat. That was fine. She preferred it that way. The training fields opened up ahead, a wide stretch of packed dirt ringed by tall pines. Warriors sparred in pairs, their grunts and the smack of flesh echoing across the clearing. Younger wolves, those who’d shifted years ago, practiced controlled changes under the watchful eyes of their trainers. Fur rippled over skin, claws extended, then retracted. It looked effortless for them. Natural. Celine hung back near the edge, her simple tunic and pants feeling inadequate next to the fitted gear of the others. She wasn’

The sacred clearing pulsed with energy as the full moon climbed higher, bathing the standing stones in a silvery glow that made everything feel alive. Celine’s heart hammered against her ribs, the faint scent of storm winds and dark pine still lingering in her nose. It was him. Cassian Link. The pull was undeniable now, a warm thread tugging low in her belly, connecting her to the alpha standing tall at the head of the gathering. She could barely breathe through the rush of it. After years of nothing, the Moon Goddess had finally answered. Around her, other wolves shifted restlessly, some pairing off with soft murmurs and touches as bonds clicked into place. The elders continued their chants, voices rising and falling like the wind through the oaks. Celine stole another glance at Cassian. He was scanning the crowd, his sharp features set in concentration, that commanding presence making the air feel thicker. Her father stood rigid beside her, but for once, Celine didn’t care about h

Celine stared at Damon.For several seconds, she couldn't make sense of what he'd said.The Moon Goddess had brought her here.To him.It sounded impossible. After everything that had happened tonight, impossible almost felt normal."What does that mean?" she asked.Damon didn't answer immediately.His attention remained fixed on the dark forest ahead. The wolves hiding somewhere beyond the trees continued to move, their footsteps faint but unmistakable."Not here," he said.Celine frowned. "You can't say something like that and then refuse to explain.""I can if staying alive depends on it."Her father stepped forward."Celine, listen to me. Whatever Damon Blackwood tells you, don't believe him."Damon's eyes shifted toward Beta Wolverine."You've spent eighteen years keeping her in the dark. Don't start pretending you're protecting her now."Her father's face hardened."You know nothing about what I've done for my daughter.""I know enough."Celine looked between them."Stop."Neith

The words hung over the clearing.“Bring us the girl, Blackwood.”Celine felt every muscle in her body tighten.Damon stepped forward, blocking her completely from view.“You came a long way to make a demand,” he said.A low laugh answered from the darkness.“You know why we're here.”“I do.”“Then hand her over.”“No.”The answer was calm.Almost too calm.Celine looked around Damon and saw the Blackfang warriors spreading between the trees. There had to be at least twenty of them, maybe more. Their dark clothing blended into the forest, while the silver markings on their weapons caught the moonlight.Her father's warriors stood opposite them.For once, Silvermoon and the rogues had the same enemy.Wolverine raised his weapon.“Everyone, stay ready.”The Blackfang leader finally stepped into view.He was older than Damon, perhaps in his early forties, with long dark hair pulled back from his face. A thin scar ran from his left temple to his jaw. Unlike the other rogues, he wasn't wea

THE WOMAN FROM HER MEMORIESThe forest exploded into chaos.Celine barely had time to breathe before Damon grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him.The Blackfang warriors surged forward.Metal struck metal. Wolves howled in the darkness. Trees shook as bodies crashed through the undergrowth.But Celine could hear only one thing.Her mother's voice.Run, Celine!She stared through the chaos at the woman standing beneath the trees.Her mother.Alive.After eleven years of believing she was dead."Celine!"Damon pulled her down just as a weapon sliced through the air above her head.She stumbled."I have to get to her!""You'll get yourself killed.""That's my mother!""I know.""Then let me go!"Damon tightened his grip."Not until I know the way is clear."Celine glared at him.For once, she didn't care who was stronger.She pulled against his hand."Damon!"A roar came from behind them.Damon spun around and knocked an attacker aside."Stay close to me!"Celine looked toward her mot
