All Chapters of REJECTED BY MY ALPHA HUSBAND : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

LEAH DECKERThere was a fireplace at every corner that crackled against the stone walls of Tombstone’s western watchtower as I stood beside Marten overlooking the cliffs below the kingdom. The cold northern wind swept through my hair violently, yet tonight the air did not feel freezing. It felt tense.Like something unseen was breathing down our necks. I folded my arms across my chest and turned toward him. “Why did you lie to them?”Marten looked down at the courtyard below where warriors trained beneath torchlight. Swords clashed. Wolves growled. Orders echoed through the night.He did not answer immediately.“That coalition,” I continued, my voice firmer now. “Why did you tell them my name was Aria and not Leah?”His jaw tightened slightly.“You know why.”“No,” I snapped. “I don’t.”Finally, he looked at me.His eyes were calmer these days. Less savage. Less haunted. But beneath them still lived the same dangerous Alpha who could tear apart an army without blinking.“It was to conf

LEAH DECKERI paced from one end of my chamber to the other until my legs began to ache beneath me. The room felt too small. The walls felt too close. Every breath I took came with another thought of war.Five packs. Five entire woodland packs gathering because of me, because they believed I was chosen, because they believed they could use me or kill me.I stopped beside the tall stone window and stared out toward the mountains surrounding Tombstone. Thick snow covered the cliffs while heavy mist rolled through the forests beneath them. The night before had been cold and silent, but not peaceful. Warriors had lined every wall and every entrance under Marten’s command. Torches burned through the darkness while wolves patrolled the woods without rest.Nobody slept.Not truly.War was circling us like a beast waiting to strike.I pressed my palm against the window and shut my eyes tightly. I was afraid.not of dying, I had already lived through worse than death. I was just afraid of fail

LEAH DECKERJerry found me standing near the rear ranks of the gathering. The warriors parted for him immediately. I knew why he had come before he even reached me.The Alpha wanted me beside him. Maria stood close to my shoulder.Unlike her usual maid attire, she wore light armor fitted across her chest and shoulders. A sword rested at her hip. Seeing her prepared for war only made the reality of everything settle heavier inside me.This was no longer preparation, no longer speculation. War was coming.Tonight.Maria noticed my hesitation. Her hand squeezed my arm gently. "You are stronger than you think, my lady."I managed a weak smile. "I'm not worried about myself.""I know."She looked toward the platform where Marten stood. "You are worried about everyone else." That was exactly it.The thought of hundreds of warriors dying because of me made my stomach tighten. Maria reached behind her and removed a sword from a weapons rack nearby. The blade gleamed beneath the pale daylight.

MARTEN HOLLANDI stood beside Leah as the cheers rolled through Tombstone like thunder.The training grounds had transformed into something else entirely. This was no longer a gathering. No longer a meeting, no longer preparation. It was war.Every warrior stood armed. Every servant wore leather and steel. Every wolf was ready to shift. The banners of Tombstone snapped violently in the mountain winds. Thousands of eyes stared toward us. Toward their Alpha, toward the woman standing beside him.Toward the reason they were willing to fight. I looked at Leah, she had changed in a way of a frightened woman that learnt courage. The change in her appearance, she had changed from the inside. The Leah who first arrived at Tombstone had been wounded.Broken.Suspicious.She expected betrayal from everyone. Now she stood before an army. Not as prey. Not as a prisoner.Not as a rejected Luna.But as a woman people were willing to follow.I watched her walk forward. The crowd quieted. An emotion I

LEAH DECKERThe cold bit into my skin like a thousand tiny blades.Snow drifted from the dark sky above us, settling across armor, cloaks, blades and fur. Every breath I took became white mist before disappearing into the freezing night. Ahead of us, hidden among the mountain ridges and thick clusters of pine trees, rested the camps of the five woodland packs.War had finally come, and it was tonight.The realization settled heavily inside my chest.We had left Tombstone before midnight. The gates had opened and thousands of wolves poured into the darkness like a river of shadows moving toward a single destination.I had never seen anything like it.Not even in Oakwood, Oakwood had warriors. Tombstone were very fierce and vigilant for battle. The difference became obvious the moment we crossed beyond the kingdom walls.No one complained, none of them questioned or hesitated. Every wolf followed Marten, every single one.Their loyalty frightened me almost as much as it impressed me.The
