ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 193
Eleanor’s POVThe council chamber hums with quiet anticipation, a subdued energy that vibrates through the ancient stone walls. I stand at the center of the room, under the intense scrutiny of the elders. Their expressions are unreadable, masks of power and authority, but the glint in Elder Marlow’s eyes reassures me. She always has that glint when she’s proud, though she’d never say it outright.“Eleanor,” she begins, her voice steady, each word measured, “you’ve done what no one else could. You succeeded where hundreds failed.”The weight of her words presses down on me, and I bow my head slightly, hiding the flicker of satisfaction that rises in my chest. The faces around me are stern but approving. Elder Markus, my father, sits closest to Marlow, his sharp features softened by a rare smile. “You’ve proven yourself indispensable,” Markus adds, leaning forward in his chair. “The perfect mole. Years of training, of sacrifice—and it’s paid off spectacularly. You’ve brought us everyth

Eleanor's POV “You saved me,” I say, my voice quieter now. “When my parents left me, you and Father gave me a life. A purpose.”Marlow’s expression softens further, her eyes gleaming with something I can’t quite name. Pride? Affection? “You were always meant for something greater,” she says. “Your parents may have given you life, but we gave you a future. And you’ve made the most of it.”I nod, swallowing hard against the emotions threatening to rise. “I’ll finish this,” I promise. “For the council. For you and Father.”Marlow places a hand on my shoulder, the warmth of her touch grounding me. “We’re proud of you, Eleanor. And we trust you to see this through.”Her words linger in my mind as she walks away, leaving me alone in the dim corridor. I close my eyes, drawing in a slow, steady breath. The memories of the past cling to me like shadows, but I push them aside. This is who I am now. A weapon forged by the council. A tool for humanity’s survival.I turn and make my way back to m

Jenna’s POVThe morning light barely filters into the empty cell, casting long shadows across the cold, damp walls of my cell. I wake to the sound of shallow breathing and groans of pain coming from the cells around me. The air is thick with despair, but I refuse to let it seep into my bones. Across the hallway, Zephyr slumps against the bars of his cell, his golden eyes dull, his body weakened beyond recognition. He looks smaller somehow, like the weight of the bracelet has crushed not just his strength but his spirit. "Zephyr," I call softly, trying to coax him back into the present. He lifts his head slowly, his movements lethargic. "What is it, little flower?" His voice is weaker than yesterday, and hearing him like this fills me with dread. "You're not yourself," I say, gripping the bars of my own cell. "We need to figure out a way to fight back. Together." He chuckles darkly, the sound hollow. "There’s no fight left in me, Jenna. They’ve taken it all." "That’s not true," I

Jennas PovThe guard steps into my cell, his baton raised high, ready to beat the rebellion out of me. He towers over me, his lips curled in a sneer, but I don’t back down. Instead, I meet his gaze head-on, defiance blazing in my eyes. “Sit down and shut up,” he barks, swinging the baton in a warning arc. I grit my teeth, my wolf growling just beneath the surface. “You think you scare me? You’ve already lost.” He steps closer, the heavy thud of his boots reverberating through the cell. As he lifts his arm to strike, a guttural, inhuman roar shatters the tension. Across the hallway, Zephyr has lunged to his feet, gripping the bars of his cell with trembling hands. His golden eyes burn with an intensity I haven’t seen in days. “Get away from her!” he bellows, his voice raw and commanding. The guard turns, distracted for just a moment, but it’s enough. With a feral snarl, Zephyr sinks his teeth into his wrist. I watch in stunned silence as his jaws clamp down, and with a sickening c

Jenna's POV The air is thick with tension as we gather in the dim hallway, the faint smell of blood and sweat lingering after the fight. My breathing is still uneven, and my heart pounds in my chest as I scan the faces around me. For the first time in what feels like ages, there’s hope in their eyes. We had all come together and fought for a good cause; to free ourselves. Wolves from different pack, rogues inclusive. That's all it'd needed to take, right? Unity. Greta, Raina, and Caleb are among the first to approach me, their faces flushed with relief. Without warning, they throw their arms around me, pulling me into a tight group hug. “I can’t believe we’re here,” Raina whispers, her voice trembling. “Jenna, if it weren’t for you…” “You gave us the courage to fight,” Greta says, her grip firm. “We never would’ve known—never would’ve believed—that our strength came from within us.” I try to speak, but the lump in my throat stops me. Instead, I let myself be held by them, their

Jack’s POV The silence is suffocating as we huddle together in the shadows of the council’s mansion—Eleanor’s lair. The structure looms ahead, its towering spires cutting into the night sky like jagged blades. From this distance, it looks deceptively quiet, but we all know better. They’re waiting for us. “Listen up,” I say, my voice low but firm as I look at the faces around me. Wolves from different packs, rogues, all of us brought together by the same goal—to end this. To make sure no one has to live under Eleanor never takes wolves as prisoners to do as she pleases again. The weight of leadership settles on my shoulders, but I welcome it. I have to get this right. “We don’t have the luxury of a second chance,” I continue, my hazel eyes locking on each of them. “We do this clean. We do this together. And we don’t leave anyone behind.” Raina nods sharply, her face set with determination. Caleb clenches his fists, a silent promise in his eyes. Greta stands beside him, the ten

Jenna’s POVThe moment Jack shoves the council chamber doors open, the trap is sprung. Flames explode across the room, roaring to life from hidden runes carved into the stone floor. The heat is instant, fierce, and blinding, forcing us back. Shadows shift as figures emerge from behind thick stone pillars, their weapons gleaming in the firelight. Eleanor stands at the center of it all, poised and elegant as ever, her hair catching the glow of the flames. Her smile is sharp, predatory, and it makes my stomach twist. “Welcome,” she says, her voice dripping with mockery. “I’ve been waiting for you.” Her wolves step forward, forming a protective ring around her. I count a dozen at least, and I know there are more in the shadows. This isn’t a battle; it’s a slaughter waiting to happen. Jack growls low beside me, his hazel eyes flashing with fury. “Eleanor.” “Jack,” she replies smoothly, her gaze sweeping over all of us. “And you’ve brought friends. How thoughtful. It’ll make thi

Jenna’s POVThe howl pierces through the chaos like a lifeline, but it’s not Eldris. It’s someone else. Zephyr. The chamber doors crash open with a force that silences even the roaring flames. All eyes turn to him as he strides in, his golden eyes blazing with fury. The firelight dances across his figure, illuminating the rage etched into every line of his face. But it isn’t his anger that steals my breath. It’s the figure in his arms. Veronica. Her body is limp, pale, and heartbreakingly fragile. The woman who saved me, who taught me to fight and gave me a reason to believe again, now looks as though she could slip away at any moment. “Veronica!” My voice cracks, and my sword clatters to the ground as I run to her. I drop to my knees beside Zephyr as he gently lowers her to the floor. My hands tremble as I reach out, cradling her face. Her skin is ice-cold, her eyes fluttering weakly open. “It’s me,” I whisper, tears blurring my vision. “It’s Jenna. You’re safe now.” Her lip

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
