Helena

For several long seconds, no one moves.

The fire lanterns hanging from the ceilings crackle softly above us while blood continues to spread steadily outward from the dead driver collapsed across the stone floor. The metallic scent thickens the air almost immediately, mixing horribly with thick smoke, wet fur, and the pungent animal musk clinging to the entire chamber.

Aspyn remains on the ground trembling violently. Both her hands are pressed against her mouth as muffled sobs continue es

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 207

    Kellan“I kept the books separately because I needed to study them,” I reply, keeping my voice steady as I meet Aeron’s piercing gaze.Aeron takes a step closer to me, his presence filling the space between us like a gathering storm. “And why would that be?”At this point, I choose to be brave. After all, there is no chance Aeron would have the means to prove that I am guilty of anything beyond simple curiosity. So I go on, speaking with measured confidence. “I now envy my former position of pack advisor, and I want more than anything to earn it back.”I look away from Aeron as I say this, for I can no longer stand his gaze. The weight of it feels like it could strip away every layer of my carefully constructed facade.“In addition to finding those who committed the ambush attempt, I also needed to prove myself worthy of other knowledge you would need.”I look back at Aeron to see him smiling. I smile back, hoping and thinking that Aeron has bought my silly tale. How stupid Aeron is

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 206

    KellanAspyn and I organize those that clean the very large archives, and we spend the whole day directing a large number of maids to dust book after book and scroll after scroll. The chamber echoes with the soft rustle of cloths, the occasional creak of ladders, and the steady murmur of instructions as we move from one towering shelf to another. Dust motes dance in the beams of light filtering through the high windows, turning the air thick and hazy for hours. This exercise proves of great advantage to me, for I use the opportunity to check on some books and scrolls that are related to Alpha bloodlines. I keep them separately in a neat reading order on a side table near the back, hoping to return later in the dead of the night to examine them more thoroughly. From my calculations, the next full moon would be the night after tonight, so I have only little time to get the truth from the archive before the council convenes and everything changes. Every title I scan sends a thrill th

    KellanWe had just finished breakfast. The plates were nearly cleared, and the warm scents of roasted meats and herbal teas still lingered in the air when Aeron stood up with that effortless authority he always carried. “I have engagements with the migrant society this morning. I will be back later.”Sera stands up next, and Aeron helps her up gently, his hand steady on her arm as she rises with the careful grace that her pregnancy requires. She smiles softly at him. “I need to dress up. I am having an appointment with the tailor soon.”Aeron smiles at her, his expression warm and intimate. “Is that so?”They both giggle before kissing each other right there, the moment natural and unhurried. They seem to do this without even thinking twice, their connection effortless and deep. I look away quickly, swallowing hard against the sharp twist in my chest. When I happen to face Aspyn just then, she too is looking away, her gaze fixed on some distant point beyond the windows. It dawns

    Helena“Dear God. Oh, bullshit, I’m gonna die,” Corvin whispers hoarsely, his voice cracking with raw panic as he grips the steering wheel tighter.I abruptly move away from the door, heart slamming against my ribs as more strange sounds filter in from outside—low growls, the rustle of heavy bodies moving through the underbrush, and the unmistakable scrape of claws against earth. The bushy track suddenly feels alive with threat, shadows lengthening between the dense foliage despite the midday sun filtering through the canopy. I muster enough courage to speak, keeping my tone firm even as fear claws at my throat. “You would not die, Corvin. Stay calm. We will get through this.”“I was gonna die!" Corvin yells. "I knew it! I should never have agreed to this madness!”Just then, something massive bumps violently into Corvin’s side of the door with a deafening metallic crunch. The impact rocks the entire car, and in one terrifying motion, the door is yanked completely off its hinges, me

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 203

    KellanGentle knocking on my door pulls me from the depths of exhausted sleep. I stir slowly, my body protesting every small movement as consciousness returns in fragments. As I sit up and look around, rubbing my eyes, I realize I didn’t actually fall asleep in my room the previous night. Who brought me in? The question lingers, fuzzy at first, then sharpening as memories of the archives, the long night of searching, and collapsing in the hallway flood back. I swing my legs over the side of the bed, wincing at the dull throb in my temples, and proceed to the door.I open it to find a young maid standing there politely, her hands clasped in front of her. “Good morning, my lord. Breakfast is ready in the dining room. The Alpha and Luna are already seated.”I bang the door shut a little softer than intended, the sound reverberating through my skull. Then pain flares instantly—a sharp headache blooming behind my eyes. I wince, pressing fingers to my temples as I mutter a curse under

  • The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate   Chapter 202

    Sera“True, I was not here to talk about myself,” Helena says in a steady tone. “I was here to talk about a more important issue.”I could not believe my ears. Helena just referred to something as more important than herself? What in the heavens could that be? Slowly, I began to see that Helena might have softened after all. But was that possible? Can someone who must have tried to kill me and Aeron several times just turn to become good? The doubt lingers like a shadow at the edge of my vision, refusing to fade completely. Years of her coldness and calculated cruelty make this sudden shift feel like a trap wrapped in cunning silk.Helena continues, leaning forward slightly in the chair. “I am here only to tell you to keep things closer between yourself and Aeron. Strengthen the bond you share."I frown again, the confusion deepening. Now, I did not expect this. “What is going on, Lady Helena? Why come to me now with such advice?”Helena gets to her feet—much to my surprise. I try
