All Chapters of Rejected by my Alpha, Desired by the lycan king : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Rose’s POVThe explosion of light didn’t hurt at first.It stunned me.Like my entire world had been wiped clean in a single breath.Then the pain came.Not physical.Not exactly.It was deeper—like my mind itself was being stretched too far, pulled in directions it was never meant to go.I dropped to my knees, gasping, hands pressed hard against my head as the chamber around me pulsed violently with blue light. The symbols weren’t just glowing anymore—they were reacting.To me.To my heartbeat.To whatever was waking up inside me.“No…” I whispered, voice shaking. “Stop… stop this…”But it didn’t stop.The second heartbeat surged again—harder this time, more aggressive, like it had been triggered by the words he said.What was sealed… before the world learned how to fear you.That sentence echoed endlessly inside my skull.Fear me?No.That didn’t make sense.I wasn’t something to be feared. I was just—Just Rose.Wasn’t I?My breath hitched as I looked up through the blinding glow.

Rose’s POV“Now you remember.”NoNo, I didn’t.That was the first thought that slammed into me as everything broke apart.Because this this wasn’t remembering.This was drowning.Memories didn’t come gently.They didn’t unfold like stories.They hit.Hard.Messy.Too many at once.Voices overlapping voicesFaces I didn’t know but somehow knewPlaces that felt familiar and wrong at the same timeAnd pain—God, so much pain—I couldn’t breathe.“I don’t—!”My voice broke, swallowed by everything flooding into me. My hands clawed at my head like I could physically push it all out, like I could tear the memories away before they stuck.But they didn’t stop.They kept coming.Relentless.Unforgiving.And the worst part?They didn’t feel like dreams.They felt real.Too real.Like I had lived them.Like I had been there.I saw fire.Not normal fireDark.Almost black, twisting in the air like it had a will of its own.I saw people—no, not people—beings—standing in a circle, their voices lo

Rose’s POVThe words came out of my mouth… but I didn’t feel them leave me.That was the scariest part.Not the voice.Not the smile.Not even the fact that my body moved without full permission.It was the disconnect.Like I was standing slightly to the side of myself, watching something wear my skin and speak for me.“I told you… next time would be different.”Silence dropped instantly.Heavy.Sharp.Alive.The Lycan King didn’t move.Not at first.But I felt it his power tightening in the air like a coiled blade. Controlled. Waiting.His eyes locked on mine.Not blinking.Not doubting.Confirming.“…Rose,” he said slowly.My name.But it didn’t land the way it should have.Because inside me—something tilted at the sound. Like it recognized it differently now.My fingers twitched again.No weird.My fingers responded.Not just twitching.Reacting.Like they were waiting for instruction that wasn’t fully mine.“I’m here,” I said.But the moment I said it, I felt the lie inside it.Or

Rose’s POVIt is no longer about what you meant.The words didn’t fade.They stayed.Hung in the air like something solid.Like a sentence that had already decided my future and was just waiting for me to catch up.My fingers tightened unconsciously around his hand.Or maybe it wasn’t unconscious anymore.Maybe I was just… noticing everything now.The Lycan King stepped slightly in front of me again.Not fully blocking me.Not like before.More like…He didn’t know if he should.That alone said too much.“Stand down,” he said, voice low, commanding.Not to me.To it.The creature didn’t move.Didn’t react.Didn’t even blink.Its glowing eyes stayed locked on mine like I was the only thing in the forest that existed.“You’re not supposed to be here,” he continued. “Return to your post.”A pause.Then the voice again.Deeper this time.Colder.“My post has shifted.”Something inside me twisted at that.Shifted.Because of me.Of course.Everything now seemed to lead back to me.I hated

Rose’s POVWe didn’t rest.Not even for a second.The decision—mine, apparently didn’t feel like something I had time to sit with. The moment I said fine, everything shifted.Not dramatically.Not loudly.Just… direction.Like the world had been waiting for me to pick a path so it could finally start moving again.And now it had.Fast.Too fast.“Which way?” I asked, my voice quieter than I expected.Because I already knew the answer.I just didn’t want to be the one to say it out loud.The Lycan King didn’t respond immediately.He was watching me again.That same look.Careful.Measuring.Like he wasn’t sure if the one making this decision was fully me.I exhaled sharply.“Stop doing that.”His brow tightened slightly. “Doing what?”“Looking at me like I might suddenly stop being myself.”A pause.Then honest, direct“I don’t know that you won’t.”That stung.Not because it was cruel.But because it wasn’t.It was just… true.And that made it worse.“Great,” I muttered under my breat
