ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 113
Jenna's POV As we continue to run through the thick trees, my heart pounds in my chest. Each breath comes in quick gasps, and my legs ache with every step. The sounds of the forest—birds chirping and leaves rustling—fade behind me, replaced by the distant shouts of the men chasing us. Fear mixes with adrenaline, pushing me forward. “Keep moving!” Eleanor shouts, her voice sharp but full of determination. Raina is just ahead of me, her serious look cutting through my panic. “Where are we going?” I ask, trying to catch my breath.“To the edge of town,” Eleanor answers quickly, her eyes scanning the path ahead. “We need to get as far away from here as possible. We can’t let them catch us.”I grip her words tightly, trying to drown out my doubts. The memory of our cabin—how safe it felt—now seems like a distant dream. “Do you think they’ll follow us?” Raina asks, glancing back at me with worry in her eyes.“Maybe,” Eleanor replies, her expression grave. “But we’re faster. We’ll make it

Jenna's POV The room settles into a tense silence as we take a moment to breathe, though I can feel the adrenaline from the chase still humming in my veins. Outside, a cool breeze slips through cracks in the window, stirring the dust in beams of pale light. Eleanor, Raina, and I glance around the room, sizing up our new, temporary shelter.“Should we check the place out?” I ask, pushing myself up from the chair. It creaks, threatening to give way beneath me.Eleanor nods, always on alert, her gaze sharp. “Good idea. We need to make sure there’s no one else here.”Raina’s eyes dart around the shadowy corners, and I can tell she’s still nervous; her usual sass and bravery faded to silence. “I’ll go with you both,” she says, her voice softer than usual. We head out of the small room and into the corridor, our footsteps echoing as we make our way down the hallway. Every creak and groan of the old building makes my heart leap, but I remind myself we’re safe here—at least for now.As we e

Jack's POV For the first time in weeks, I feel a sense of accomplishment. We’ve found a place we can finally call our own. As I take it all in, Jordan steps up beside me, his eyes scanning the scene with a look of satisfaction.“You’ve led us through a lot, Jack,” he says, his tone filled with respect. “Not everyone could have done what you did, guiding us through those woods, keeping us safe. We’re here because of you.”I return his gaze, giving a half-smile. “It wasn’t just me. This land is fertile, blessed. It’ll provide for us, I know it. The gods are on our side.”Jordan nods, the flicker of hope clear in his eyes. “We can finally build something better, something that’ll last.”Before I can respond, a ripple of tension moves through the camp. The laughter dies down, conversations fall silent, and I hear a low murmur of unease from the pack members nearby. My senses sharpen, my eyes narrowing as I follow their gazes toward the edge of the clearing.A lone figure steps out of the

Jenna's POV As evening falls, I can still feel the tension from earlier, thick and heavy in the air. I know Eleanor’s protective nature had made her seem harsh, but I also know we owe Greta an apology. I spot her sitting alone at the far end, a worn book open on her lap, the flames flickering and reflecting in her watchful eyes. When I approach, she looks up, surprised, but offers me a small, guarded smile."Mind if I sit?" I ask, gesturing to the empty chair across from her.She gives a short nod, closing her book and resting it on her lap. "Not at all, Jenna."I sink into the chair, feeling the warmth from the fire and the faint scent of smoke mixing with the leather of old chairs. I hesitate, but then I say softly, "I wanted to apologize for earlier. Eleanor… she can be rough around the edges. She didn’t mean to be harsh; she’s just… protective. It’s been a hard life for us." My words trail off as I look down, unsure of how much to say.Greta’s face softens as she listens. "I unde

Jenna's POV As I head back to my room, the embers of Greta’s words still smolder in my chest, sparking an unexpected fire. I can’t quite shake the idea that’s taken root in my mind—this old inn, worn but sturdy, could be more than just a shelter. Greta has given us a roof, and maybe that’s all she meant it to be, but I feel it could become so much more. The council and their spies may be relentless, yet the thought of creating a place of true refuge here, hidden away from their reach, fills me with a hope I haven’t felt in a long time.But I can’t sleep with that hope buzzing through me. My muscles are tight from tension, my senses still sharp. After so long on the run, my instinct for survival won’t let me sit still tonight.I change course, slipping quietly out of my room, down the creaky staircase, and through the hallway that opens up to the inn’s back courtyard. It’s just wide enough for me to stretch and maybe practice a few moves, though the space is uneven, and the only light

Jenna's POV The next morning, I wake up to the inviting smell of freshly baked bread and a warm light spilling through the window. I stretch and take a moment to appreciate how comfortable the bed is, thinking I could easily get used to mornings like this. Quickly dressing, I follow the delicious aroma that wraps around me like a soft blanket, guiding me downstairs.In the kitchen, Eleanor is already busy, moving carefully among the pots, pans, and jars, as if she’s studying each one to memorize its place. I can see the concentration on her face, testing every step she takes, and I stand back for a moment, admiring her determination.Eleanor has always looked a lot more relaxed in the kitchen. Maybe cooking is also therapeutic for her. I have come to really enjoy the art of making food. I bet it's the same for her too. “Need a hand?” I ask softly, not wanting to startle her.She looks up, relief washing over her features. “I’m just trying to figure out where everything is. I think G

Jenna's POV Greta does not join us for breakfast. She had complained about her legs this morning. Rosie says, her expression seeming guarded. "Is she alright?" I ask, concerned filling every pore in my body. "She is okay, not open to receiving visitors at the moment, but I'm sure she will come down when she falls ready." Rosie says. For a moment, I wonder whether Greta and Rosie could be hiding things from us, but I don't probe. They have a right to their privacy in the same way I do to mine. So far, Greta's aura and that if her housekeeper has been clean, I haven't felt like I have anything to worry about. But if they're really wolves in sheep clothing, time will reveal it. After breakfast, we decide to tour the neighboring town. "The town does not exactly boast of anything." Rosie had said when Raina had offered that we look around. "It's just the local post office and diner. Most of the locals have moved further up; nothing really happens here anymore." She had looked a lit

Violet’s POVThe night is filled with chaos—wolves fighting, growling, and struggling in a brutal clash. The Nightspire pack has launched a fierce attack, and our pack fights back with everything we have. Claws and teeth flash in the dark, bodies colliding as everyone struggles to hold their ground. I try to stay focused, fighting alongside my pack, but there’s something else pulling at my attention.It’s the tether; its pull is stronger than ever, whispering in my mind, tugging me toward the edge of the battlefield. I clench my jaw, forcing myself to stay in the fight, but it’s no use. The tether is like an invisible hand, reaching deep into my mind, urging me to leave the battle behind and follow it into the shadows.I glance around, making sure no one notices me stepping back, and then slip toward the trees. The sounds of the battle fade a little as I move into the shadows, but I can still hear the snarls and cries of my packmates fighting for their lives. My heart pounds, but the

ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 219
PrologueJenna’s POVThe house is a haven of warmth and calm, filled with the low hum of contentment. Outside, the world continues to bustle—the sounds of children’s laughter echo through the air, accompanied by the chatter of pack members as they go about their tasks. We’ve built something here, something beautiful, and I never imagined it would feel like this. I sit in a sturdy chair by the window, my feet propped up and my swollen belly cradled gently in my hands. It's almost time—our child is growing inside me, and the thought brings a mixture of joy and anticipation. The days are passing slowly now, each one bringing us closer to the arrival of our little one. And with Jack by my side, I know we can face whatever the future holds. I hear footsteps approaching and look up to see Mia standing in the doorway, a soft smile on her face. She holds a bowl of warm water and a cloth in her hands, her expression a mix of eagerness and affection. “Jenna,” she says, her voice light. “I wa
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 218
Jenna’s POV The next morning, I find Veronica standing by the edge of the clearing, her silhouette framed by the soft light of dawn filtering through the trees. The previous day had been filled with lots of hugs of goodbye. I had witnessed people cry as they'd embraced and promised to stay in touch. Greta had decided to return to her inn and rebuild it again. She had enjoyed the thrill of fighting and was glad that she was on the right side of history, but she needed to rest, and she couldn't think of a better place to do it. Raina and Caleb, though, had chosen to stay with us. And I was more than happy to still have them. Veronica looks serene despite her exhaustion, her posture as graceful as ever. It’s a sight that brings a pang of nostalgia to my chest, a reminder of the countless hours we’d spent together training, laughing, and sharing dreams of a better future. I approach her slowly, hesitant for reasons I can’t quite articulate. She notices me immediately, her lips curvi
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 217
Jack’s POV “Are you both joined together by the hip?” Raina asks as she approaches Jenna and I. Jenna lets out a low chuckle as she disentangles from me and moves towards her friend to warmonger in a hug. “We did it!” I hear her say as she continues to stay in her embrace. Raina rubs her back fondly, returning Jenna's hug with a soft, sad smile. “We did it, even though we're no longer complete.” Jenna steps back and looks at Raina, whose eyes are now wet with tears. “The last thing I expected was Eleanor's betrayal.”Jenna's shoulders slump in sadness as she nods. “At least we still have Greta and Caleb.”Raina smiles again as she clasps Jenna's hands in hers. “At least we still do.” As they continue to talk, Caleb and Greta join them, and I decide to step away and give them the privacy to talk and reunite. As soon as I am a considerable distance away from the group, Zephyr approaches me with a calm but deliberate stride, his golden eyes steady and unreadable. He stops a few f
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 216
Jack’s POV Jenna has returned to the women, helping them with whatever she can and rationing the last of our supplies. I watch her, marveling at how far she’s come. She’s not the same woman I foolishly rejected all those years ago. Jenna has always been brave, but now she’s a force to be reckoned with—a leader in her own right. Her quick wit and relentless courage have saved me more than once, and I know, deep down, that I owe her more than just my life. As she laughs softly at something Raina says, my chest tightens with a mix of pride and longing. Maybe I needed to be stupid enough to let her go back then to realize what I’d lost. Maybe my reckless decision to reject her wasn’t just a mistake but a painful lesson I had to learn to truly see her worth. And gods, she’s worth everything. I watch her for a moment longer, my wolf pacing restlessly within me, yearning to be close to her. The thought of spending the rest of my life with her—of building something lasting when all this
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 215
Jack’s POV The forest is quiet, save for the distant rustle of leaves and the occasional crackle of the embers still smoldering behind us. The air feels heavy, laden with the scent of ash and smoke from Violet’s pyre, and though her flame has burned out, the weight of her memory lingers. I catch sight of Jenna standing with Raina and a few of the other women. They're all talking and laughing, their voices ringing out steady and true. The sound of it makes my heart warm. We might have experienced our own loss, but we had emerged victorious. Jenna is beautiful in a way that makes my chest ache, her blonde hair catching the light and her shoulders held high despite the exhaustion I know she’s feeling. She’s always been like that since we met again—strong, unwavering. My anchor in a storm I was too blind to see for years. As I watch her, my mind drifts back to the look in her eyes earlier, when I spoke about Violet. It wasn’t judgment or anger I saw there, but confusion. Maybe even
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 214
Jenna's POVThe trek through the forest is quiet, somber. Jordan carries Violet’s body in his arms, his face set in a grim mask of determination. None of us speak, but the weight of what we’ve endured is palpable. Every step away from the battlefield feels heavier than the last.We find a small clearing as the sun begins to rise, its pale light filtering through the trees. The others gather around, their expressions weary but resolute. Zephyr and his people—no longer strangers but allies—stand a respectful distance away. Even Veronica, her frailty evident as she leans against Zephyr for support, watches silently.Jordan kneels, carefully laying Violet’s body on the grass. He brushes a strand of her hair away from her face, his hands trembling. “I’m taking her home,” he says, his voice raw. “She deserves to rest where she belonged.”For a moment I wonder whether he even remembers that there is no home for now. “Jordan…” Jack steps forward. “Carrying her all that way isn’t practical. I
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 213
Jenna’s POVAs we prepare to leave the hideout, I look around, still in utter disbelief that it's really over. Blood stains the ground, and the metallic scent of it lingers in the air. The bodies of the council elders lie scattered, their once-mighty forms now lifeless and cold.Violet’s lifeless form rests where she fell, and though I ache to go to her, to pay my last respect, something else draws me forward.Eleanor.She’s still kneeling where we had chained her. She doesn’t look up as I approach, her head bowed, her long hair falling in a curtain around her face.Sue doesn't look up, nor does she say a thing as I approach. I watch her, my heart acting as I recall all that we had been through together. I remember the first day I had arrived the shelter, saved by a wonderful woman by the name Caroline. A kind human that I'd never forget. When I had gotten to the shelter, Eleanor had been one of the sheltered women who had been introduced to me. I had known as soon as I saw her that
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 212
Jenna’s POVThe laughter of the elders grates against every nerve in my body, but it’s Jordan’s raw cry that truly shatters me. The sound of his grief echoes through the chamber, cutting through the taunts and jeers like a blade. Violet’s lifeless body lies in his arms, her sacrifice an unbearable weight on all of us. “Get up, Jordan,” Jack commands, his voice cold and fierce. His hazel eyes are fixed on the elders, blazing with an anger I’ve never seen before. “She gave her life for this fight. Don’t let her sacrifice be in vain.” Jordan doesn’t respond at first, his shoulders shaking as he clings to Violet. But then, something shifts. A low growl rumbles from deep within his chest, growing louder until it fills the room. He lifts his head, his eyes no longer just filled with sorrow but something far darker—pure, unrelenting rage. When he speaks, his voice is guttural, barely human. “You’ll pay for this.” The ground beneath us trembles as Jordan rises, Violet’s body lifelessly la
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 211
Jenna’s POV The battle rages on, each moment more chaotic than the last. The air crackles with energy, the shouts and snarls of my pack mixing with the mocking laughter of the council elders. Blood stains the ground, and the scent of it makes my stomach churn, but I can’t let myself falter. Jack fights with the ferocity of a true Alpha, his hazel eyes blazing as he clashes with the leader of the council. She meets his every move with a smirk, as though she’s toying with him, her power radiating in waves. Nearby, Jordan fights with an unmatched intensity, his movements fueled by both desperation and determination. He’s holding his own against a wiry elder, but I can see the strain in his stance, the exhaustion creeping into his limbs. “Jordan, fall back!” Jack shouts, his voice commanding even amidst the chaos. But Jordan doesn’t retreat. He presses on, his strikes fierce but reckless. I can’t blame him—his daughter had not only betrayed her own pack but had been chained and kept
