All Chapters of Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Enemy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The shift was instant.One moment I was a bleeding, exhausted woman. The next, I was a massive white wolf, glowing with the ethereal light of the moon. The rogues hesitated, blinded by my brilliance."Retreat!" I commanded the Blackwood warriors, my voice echoing telepathically through the pack bond. "Follow Kael! Protect the packhouse!"Vera didn't argue. She barked an order, and the remaining Blackwood warriors shifted and vanished into the darkness, racing after Kael.I was alone.Ten thousand rogues poured down the canyon walls like a dark tide. I didn't run. I planted my paws and reached for the well of power inside me. I didn't just unleash it; I shaped it.A massive wall of golden fire erupted from the ground, spanning the entire canyon. The first wave of rogues hit the barrier and were thrown back, their fur singed, howling in pain.But there were too many. They kept coming, climbing over each other, throwing themselves at the magical wall. I could feel my strength draining wi

The moment we crossed the border into the Ashen Lands, the world died.There was no wind. No sound of birds or insects. The trees were skeletal, their bark gray and peeling, and the ground was covered in a thick, suffocating ash that muffled our footsteps.The sky was a permanent, bruised twilight."Stay close," Kael ordered. His voice was tight, his hand gripping mine so hard it almost hurt.Behind us, our elite team of ten warriors moved in a tight formation. Vera was at the rear, her bow drawn. We were all on high alert, but the silence was worse than any howl.We had been walking for an hour when the whispers started.At first, I thought it was the wind. But there was no wind.Traitor, the whispers hissed. You abandoned your pack. You killed your own kind.I stumbled, shaking my head. "Kael, do you hear that?""Hear what?" he asked, his eyes scanning the gray trees."The voices."Kael stopped dead. He turned to me, his golden eyes dark with concern. He pressed his hand to my cheek

Leaving the Ashen Lands felt like being born again.The moment we crossed the border back into Blackwood territory, the gray ash dissolved into vibrant green grass. The oppressive silence was replaced by the rustle of the wind and the distant howls of our pack welcoming us home.I was still in Kael's arms. I hadn't let go, and he hadn't offered to put me down.As we walked through the gates of the Blackwood fortress, the entire pack was waiting. They weren't just the warriors; it was the elders, the mothers, and the children. The moment they saw us, a deafening cheer erupted.Vera stepped forward, her fist over her heart. "Welcome home, Alpha. Welcome home, Luna."The rest of the pack echoed the words, dropping to one knee. The sight of it—hundreds of fierce wolves bowing to me, the Silver Creek reject—sent a wave of emotion crashing through my chest.I looked at Kael. He was smiling down at me, that rare, genuine smile that made him look less like a terrifying Alpha and more like the

Three months had passed since the night I became High Priestess.The Blackwood territory was unrecognizable. The once-rugged fortress was now the central hub of the werewolf world. A new Council had been formed, one where Alphas ruled alongside their Lunas, and the old laws of oppression were burned to ash.But peace, I was learning, was a fragile thing.I stood on the balcony of our bedroom, watching the sun set over the mountains. My hand rested on my stomach, a small, secret smile playing on my lips. I hadn't told Kael yet. I wanted to wait until the healer confirmed it, but I knew. The mate bond had felt different for weeks. There was a new, tiny heartbeat pulsing alongside ours."Daydreaming again?"I turned as Kael stepped onto the balcony. He wrapped his arms around me from behind, pulling me flush against his chest."Just enjoying the quiet," I said, leaning my head back against his shoulder."Enjoy it while it lasts," he murmured, pressing a kiss to my neck. "Vera said the de

The shadow army hit the fortress walls like a battering ram.I stood on the main battlements, Kael at my side, as the black tide crashed against the ancient stone. The creatures weren't wolves. They were faceless, shifting masses of smoke and dark magic, their claws leaving jagged, frostbitten scars on the stone."Archers, fire!" Vera roared.A volley of silver-tipped arrows rained down, but the arrows passed straight through the shadows, doing nothing. The creatures didn't even slow down."They're immune to physical weapons!" I shouted."Then use your light!" Kael yelled, drawing his sword and leaping off the battlement into the thick of the fight.I closed my eyes, reaching for the golden well inside my chest. I pushed it outward, a massive wave of divine light cascading down the fortress walls. The shadows hit the light and shrieked—a sound like tearing metal—as they disintegrated into ash.For a moment, we had the upper hand. The Blackwood warriors cheered, pushing back the dark t
