Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rejected Luna’s Rise : Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

ArianaThree days.It had been three days since the Council officially recognized me as the Primordial Wolf Queen.Three days since the official rejection before the council, and three days since my entire life somehow became even stranger than before.At this point, I was beginning to think normality had personally declared war on me.“You look concerned.” A rather familiar voice that I hadn’t heard in a really long time said, and I glanced up immediately. Oh my goodness, it was Asher!!! What the hell??? How come he was here??? What was he even doing here?? I mean, how long has it been??He stood near the doorway holding what looked like an old leather folder beneath one arm.“My goodness, Asher, where have you been, and when did you get here?? I thought you disappeared from Blood Moon.” My brows furrowed.Asher let out a deep laugh for a few seconds before responding with “Five minutes ago.”“What?”“You were staring at the same page for five minutes.” He recounted. I looked down a

Ariana I watched Knox's face, expecting him to show some sort of reaction, or at least be shocked by what I had just revealed, but instead, he had a blank expression, as if I hadn’t just dropped such shocking information.“Excuse me, didn’t you hear what I said?” I asked, wanting to make sure he heard me clearly, but he didn’t say anything.Was he trying to mess with my head right now?“I’m not surprised, Ariana.” He finally replied, making me more confused.“What?? What do you mean you’re not confused?” I asked, and he sighed. “We might have to go inside to sit down.” He said, and that was when I realized we were still on the balcony.I nodded and made my way back into the house, heading to my room, and he followed behind me. Once we got there, I sat on the couch, and he sat on the opposite side, staring directly into my eyes.“Okay… can we carry on now?” I muttered, trying to break the tension. The house suddenly felt too hot anyway. “I already knew our destinies were together, A

RileyI paced around the room slowly, thinking about how I was going to reveal this very important information that would change our lives forever.Everything had happened so far that I couldn’t even find the words to tell Cassius the big secret I had been keeping in.It was funny though, I mean, me, I was the same girl that had fought rogues, survived assassination attempts, and argued with Alpha-level werewolves.Yet somehow, I was now scared of telling my own mate I was pregnant and was the most terrified I had ever been.It was ridiculous because I knew too well how much Cassius adored me. The man absolutely worshipped the ground I walked on.Still…My stomach was twisting itself into knots.I paced across our room for the hundredth time. Then kept pacing back and forth for a whole minute when…“Riley,” Cassius called out, and I froze. I slowly turned to look at him, and there he was, standing in the doorway holding two mugs and looking like the Adonis he was. “Are you trying to

DamianThe first wolf denied everything when he was faced with the truth, the second one cried, and the third tried to run, but none of it mattered.Because by the end of the day, all three were sitting in silver-lined holding cells beneath Blood Moon territory.And they weren’t the only ones.My jaw tightened as another report landed on my desk. Who would have thought they would be involved in these? I mean, three weeks ago, I would’ve looked at these names and laughed.They were my trusted wolves, people I had known for years. One of them had attended my mate ceremony, and the other had trained directly with Cassius.The third one had worked directly with our healers for almost six years. Yet all of them had ties to the half-witch network.All of them.“Alpha.” A voice called, and I looked up to see Cassius stepping into the office carrying another file.The look on his face told me everything before he even spoke.“More?”“More.” He affirmed, and my jaw tightened. What the hell was

Ariana“Ariana,” Knox called out breathlessly without turning around. I wasn’t certain, but I think my last words made him a bit emotional.I didn’t want him to leave.Even though I was scared of all this, it felt right, and I knew deep down I would be doing myself a disservice not to explore what was brewing between us.What if this was my chance at real happiness?I went to him and slowly wrapped my arms around him, hugging him from the back. His body tensed a little, then slowly he relaxed into the hug.We stayed silent like that for a while, just enjoying the contact between our skin. It felt oddly intimate in a good way. “I know what I feel.” He whispered, and my heartbeat stumbled. He disengaged from the hug and turned to face me properly.When his eyes met mine, my heart fluttered a bit. I could see the beads of tears in his eyes. Was he really about to cry? “I know exactly what I feel, Ari, and yes, I know I don’t deserve to feel it this fast.” He paused, then gave me a smal
