All Chapters of Rejected By The Alpha I Made: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter Seventy Two – Promise MeNina’s POVThe council hall slowly emptied as the elders and warriors made their way outside, yet I remained standing where I was because my legs suddenly felt too heavy to move.The announcement of the Alpha’s Trial continued echoing inside my mind, and no matter how many times I tried convincing myself that everything would be alright, I could not silence the fear growing inside my heart.Seven days.It sounded like such a short time.Tristan had only recently awakened from a coma that nearly claimed his life, and now the entire pack expected him to prepare for three sacred trials that would decide not only his future but the future of everyone living within these borders.The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.I waited until almost everyone had left before quietly walking out of the council hall.The palace corridors were unusually peaceful.The excitement that had filled the meeting seemed to have disappeared, leaving behind a s

Chapter Seventy Four – A Dangerous Offer RoNikolai’s POVThe moment Tristan walked away, I remained standing in the middle of the courtyard, watching his back disappear into the darkness until there was nothing left to see except the empty stone path before me.My hands slowly curled into fists.Everything about that conversation replayed inside my head, and the more I thought about it, the harder it became to control the anger burning inside my chest.He had looked at me without fear.He had listened to every threat I made without raising his voice even once.Worst of all, he had walked away as though none of my words had mattered.A bitter laugh escaped my lips.“So this is the game you want to play.”The evening wind swept through the courtyard, but it did nothing to cool the rage growing inside me.For years I had lived beneath Tristan’s shadow. No matter what I achieved, someone always found a reason to compare me to him. No matter how hard I trained, the elders always believed

Chapter Seventy Six – Trust MeTristan’s POVMorning arrived quietly, yet something about the palace felt different. The corridors outside my room were unusually calm, the servants spoke in lower voices than usual, and even the warriors training in the courtyard sounded farther away than they normally did. Perhaps it was because the entire pack had begun counting the days until the Alpha’s Trial, or perhaps it was because everyone was waiting to see whether I would recover enough to face it.I had no intention of disappointing them.The healer had examined my injuries earlier that morning and confirmed that my body was recovering faster than anyone had expected. My strength had not completely returned, but every day I could feel a little more life returning to my muscles. I knew I still had work to do before the trial, yet for the first time since waking from the coma, I truly believed I would be ready.Nina stood near the window, arranging the herbs the healer had brought earlier. Ev

Chapter Seventy Eight – The Hardest BattleTristan’s POVNight had always been my favorite time to train because darkness had a way of silencing distractions, allowing a warrior to hear nothing except his own breathing and the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. Tonight, however, the darkness served a different purpose because it was hiding me from the very people I had sworn to protect.The palace had finally fallen asleep. The last patrol had passed through the northern courtyard almost an hour earlier, the servants had retired to their quarters, and only the guards stationed along the walls remained awake beneath the pale moonlight.I pulled the hood of my cloak farther over my head before following the healer through a narrow passage hidden behind the old storage hall. Few people still remembered that the passage existed because it had been built generations ago as an emergency route for the Alpha’s family. Time had buried its entrance beneath climbing vines and cracked stone, making

Chapter Eighty – The TestNina’s POVThe following morning began more peacefully than I expected, yet the peace never reached my heart because I had spent the entire night worrying about Tristan. Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined him standing inside the sacred arena seven days from now while the entire pack watched to see whether he still possessed the strength to remain their Alpha.His promise continued echoing inside my mind, and although I wanted to believe every word he had spoken, fear refused to leave me because promises could not stop danger, and they certainly could not prevent those who wished him harm.After breakfast, one of the palace servants informed us that several elders wanted to inspect the training courtyard before preparations for the Alpha’s Trial officially began. Tristan accepted the invitation without hesitation, and although I wanted him to remain inside his chambers and continue resting, I knew there was no point arguing because he had already made his
