All Chapters of Rejecting the Heir, Fxxking the Alpha's Father: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Why should she get away with this? She literally targeted us with scalding water!" Vanessa’s voice rose, her scent spiked with the sharp, acidic tang of a wolf losing her temper. "She humiliated Lila! Are you just going to let her off the hook, Ethan? Are you really defending a rogue action like that?"Ethan’s jaw tightened, the muscles ticking as he fought to keep his inner wolf under a heavy shroud of ice. "Don’t worry, Vanessa. I’m not taking sides. I’ll handle the Stone girl in my own way."With the Moon Council bond registration looming at the next full moon, Ethan was desperate to keep the pack hierarchy from fracturing into a public scandal before the ceremony.The next morning, I stood before the mirror in my new flat, letting out a breath of relief. The red mark on my neck had faded to a dull pink, the healing factor of my lineage doing its work. I gathered my hair into a high, tight updo and pulled on a one-shoulder knit top, pairing it with flowing wide-leg trousers. Profes

“When did I become the outcast of my own bloodline?” Lila thought, her chest tight as the scent of her parents' doubt filled the room.Ethan, sensing the shift in the air, let out a frustrated huff. “Mom, Dad, really? Lila is marked. Do you actually believe I’d lie about a pack member being harmed?”“We aren't questioning your word, Ethan. We just want to ensure the wound is healing correctly,” Freya replied, her voice steady but firm. “An Alpha’s sister shouldn't keep a burn hidden under bandages.”Lila’s eyes shimmered with tears, but she gave a small, submissive nod. “Could you help me with the ointment, Mom?”Ethan’s heart twisted at Lila’s distress. He turned his mental snarl toward me. This is all Aria’s fault. If she hadn't lost control of her wolf, Lila wouldn't be facing this interrogation, he thought bitterly.Freya reached for the medical kit and peeled back the gauze. To her relief, it was just a small, pinkish mark. “Lila, you need to be more careful. I don't like you liv

I kept my scent neutral as I walked into the Stone Legal Chambers. Frank, oblivious to the high-stakes tension between the Alphas, was practically vibrating with a carefree energy that made my inner wolf want to snap."Not bad, Aria. The boss is meeting with Calvin again this afternoon. I’d say we’ve marked this territory," Frank said, a cocky grin spreading across his face as he leaned against my desk.Valerie gasped, her excitement hitting me in waves. "Wait, are we really about to land the Draven merger? The firm will be legendary!""Valerie, keep your voice down," I whispered urgently, my brows knitting together. In this game, celebrating before the contract is signed is like howling before the hunt is finished—it only brings bad luck.Valerie clamped a hand over her mouth, but her eyes were still wide with the thrill. If we landed this, our pack of lawyers would finally bury Hector’s team under the snow. But when Dominic returned that afternoon, the air around him was cold enough

I couldn't help but exhale a breath of relief. For a wolf of his standing, Peter was surprisingly direct—no riddles, no power games. "Thank you, Alpha Peter," I said, my gratitude genuine.I had complete faith in him. When a High Alpha like Peter Draven makes a commitment, he doesn't break it. As long as the contract remained a fair hunt, Dominic would secure it on his own merits."Now that the territory lines are drawn for business," Peter’s voice shifted, dropping into a lower, more intimate register that made the hair on my arms stand up. "How about we delve into something personal?"My heart skipped a beat. A wave of heat rolled through me, and I felt my inner wolf pace nervously. I chuckled, the sound tight in my throat. "Alpha, what could we possibly have to discuss on a personal level?"Peter’s dark eyes deepened with an intensity that felt like a physical weight. "I heard you told Ethan you’re severing the bond today."I froze. "You heard that?"He nodded, leaning back with a

"Patricia, Dominic and I were up until the moon reached its peak, and we’ve decided the professional sanctuary is the best place for you. We’ll be transporting you back this afternoon," Lila Stone said, her scent reeking of forced politeness.I couldn’t suppress a smirk. My inner wolf felt a surge of cold victory."See? If you bared your teeth and stood your ground, the scavengers would always tuck their tails," I thought, the metallic taste of triumph on my tongue.Dominic’s face was a mask of granite, the stench of defeat thick around him. He couldn't stomach the idea of sharing a den with a daughter who had just shattered his dominance.Grandmother Patricia glanced at me, a soft, knowing light in her eyes. "Of course, I’d be delighted to return to a place of peace. But who’s going to provide the tribute? Is it you, Lila?""The sanctuary is far superior to this territory. The healers and specialists are actually competent, and the nourishment is high-grade—prepared by experts who un
