His Rejected Queen Chapter 27.:
“Sir, there has been a movement of troops close to our borders.” David went to report to the king. Daniel sits behind the desk, going through the mountain of papers lying on his table for the past few days. He spent his time riding a horse, hunting and walking through the town, speaking with his people instead of dealing with political matters. “Which borders?” He asks, but even without David answering the question, Daniel knows exactly which border has the unwelcome activity. The east border which he shares with Allus Sierra is the only one they are watching for any kind of movements.“Close to Heyward, sir,” David replies, earning the full attention of his king. Daniel lifted his head, staring at David, speechless. Heyward is the city close to Reichard. There is no border on that side. The entire area is impenetrable by any army, especially thanks to the mountains forming a natural border between the two countries.“Are you serious? What kind of army can cross Reichard? Did you re

Ariana slept through the entire day. After nearly three weeks, she finally rested her head on a fluffy pillow, cuddled by the warm blanket, curled on a soft bed. The best sleep she had over the past weeks.“Sweetheart.” The gentle voice of her mother woke her up. Two days ago, they crossed the mountains. The last thing Ariana remembered was the heartrending wolf’s cry followed by a raging Lycan howling. Her thoughts went to the only two men she kept in her thoughts. One of them she loved the most and the other one she feared the most.Ariana didn’t have to guess twice to whom the howling belonged. The only Lycan in the entire country was no one else but the father of her unborn child. But the wolf’s cry was the sound which echoed in her soul. The cries which she hoped for did not belong to her father. “Did he come back?” Ariana asked her mother with high hopes. She didn’t even properly open her eyes, but cared so much to see her father. She didn’t care about the food, about the water
His Rejected Queen Chapter 29.:
Peter scanned the entire area around the town, standing tall on the east wall of Hayward. At one moment, he thought he saw a movement down in the woods, but a second later, he found nothing but a shadow among the moving trees. Peter knows Marcus won’t leave them alone, not even in this foreign country. No father would leave his child willingly. In his case, the urge to protect his heir is much stronger than Peter’s sense of responsibility towards his own baby girl. Peter had no doubts about it.“Is he down there?” Ariana talks to her father, startling him. She shouldn’t be out here. For the past three days, she had rested in the tavern, taking short strolls around the street, but her parents didn’t allow her to walk any further into the town. She suffered from dizziness spells and morning sickness, and had not entirely recovered from the trip. Her pregnancy takes away her entire energy.Peter remembers the day when his mate came home from work, telling him about her pregnancy. He coul

“Please, allow me to introduce myself.” The tall guy spoke even before they sat around the table inside the tavern. Before they entered, a tall guy sent his guards to empty the area so they could talk in private.“My name is Trenton Hildebrant. Major General of Edeirland’s army and loyal subject of His Highness, Daniel Colton. Thanks to you, sir.” Trenton emphasized the last part of his introduction, fueling the further confusion written all over Peter’s face. He didn’t understand what Trenton was talking about.“I don’t think I need to introduce my family. You appear to know about us quite well.” Peter speaks with confidence while Trenton agreeably nods his head, confirming Peter’s assumption.“What do you mean, thanks to me?” Peter looked at the relatively young guy sitting in front of him. He stared at that face for quite a while now, trying to remember when and where he had seen that face before. No recollection of that face came to his mind.“We briefly met twenty years ago in Ed
His Rejected Queen Chapter 31.:
“What about my baby?” Ariana jumped into the conversation, worried about the safety of her unborn child. It was easy for them to say they would use the child, but use it in what manner? Are they planning to take the child to the battle and present it in front of everyone like the highest trophy, hoping it will send Marcus to his knees? Ariana couldn’t even imagine her baby being away from her.“No harm will come to the baby. I can guarantee that.” Trenton tries to assure her, but Ariana’s gaze tells him his words did not n’t convince her.“How can you guarantee that? Do you know exactly what your king is planning to do? You are only a general.” Ariana accused him. She knew little about the military ranks of her country to begin with, but in her eyes, not one had enough power to tell the king what to do, or assure their safety if the king decided to threaten their lives. She compared Marcus with the king of a foreign country.“I am Major General, young lady. That’s a high enough positi

It was a pitching dark night when they finally left the tunnels and climbed back above the surface. Trenton instantly ordered his warriors to build a temporary shelter. Behind them, in the darkness, Peter didn’t see any lights from the city. There was nothing except the surrounding wild.“Where are we exactly?” Peter wanted to know their location, so he could pinpoint where they were. Trenton looks around, not fully sure where exactly they are. It was the first time for him using tunnels as well.It is difficult to pin an exact position in this darkness. There were no villages around here with at least some slight lights, helping him to realize where exactly they were. The point of those tunnels is to assure the safety of their people. Each entrance is located in the middle of nowhere, so there shouldn’t be any reason for enemy soldiers to be there when the civilians get out. There are workers to regularly check on those tunnels to assure their stability, but other than that, no one h
His Rejected Queen Chapter 33.:
The group led by Trenton ran straight to Salstar. The Moon shone over their heads as they rushed through the darkened landscape, illuminated purely by the starry sky and the Moon itself. Ariana, as the only one in her human body, rode the light gray wolf, firmly tightened on his back. Trenton runs carefully not to hurt her, yet without losing his speed. They were only a few miles away from their next stop, but he could feel someone or something breathing on his back. Thanks to the high dose of adrenaline pouring into his bloodstream, his senses heightened. Just as they had the walls of Salstar in front of their eyes, a loud howl echoed through the region. Their pursuer also noticed the shortening time he had before his prey would be out of his reach once again. Marcus was behind them, but Trenton couldn’t allow himself to look back. They must reach the city walls at all costs. The weather tonight wasn’t on their side. The wind was blowing back to Hayward, the place where the Lycan Kin

“Report!” Daniel demanded the report knowing the person standing among his subordinates carried it. It has been almost a week since he sent his trusted man to bring the girl carrying the child of his enemy. For the past several days, his mind split between the two. The part of him seeking revenge against his mortal enemy wished to use the girl and her unborn child to finally get to Marcus and kill him. The other half of his mind was strongly against the idea. Using civilians in a bloody revenge was not something he could swallow.“Three days ago, they left Hayward, crossed the plains and two days ago entered Salstar. As far as we know, they left Salstar through the western tunnel early in the morning.” Anna, the person working under Irina, reported.Irina has been Daniel’s trusted friend since childhood and held t

“Repeat that to me?” Daniel rose from his chair with such agility that the chair fell to the ground, leaving an echo throughout the room. “Marcus has crossed our borders with about ten thousand of his men. He’s heading straight for the capital. Apparently, they’ve passed all the other cities by now as if they didn’t care about anything else,” Trenton reported to his king once more. It made no sense. According to Atalante, Marcus should not be able to return for several months, or at least several weeks. Still, less than two weeks had passed, and he was back in Edeirland, and what’s more, he had his army with him. Daniel knew this won’t end well. Marcus had quite half of the army with him. Although that number was only about half of their army, it was still enough. Daniel was not ready for open war. He did not expect Marcus to go to open war. Either he had to go against his advisers, or the ministers believed in their victory enough to want to heal themselves in Edeirland. “How many

“Where is the king?” Carlos Sellim, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, asked when he came to Marcus’ office and found only his chief advisor sitting behind a desk and signing papers. “I don’t know.” Alli Wael, the king’s chief adviser, lied. He knew exactly where the king was, but there was no point in telling anyone. Marcus left about a week ago. After his rift with his father, he came straight into his study, turned it upside down, broke half the furniture, and left again. He wreaked havoc all over the castle before heading out of town. He only told Alli if he needed anything, he should kindly turn to his father, to whom he had just given back his cursed kingdom. “How do you not know? After all, you are his chief adviser.” Carlos was getting angry. About a week ago, Marcus was supposed to go through the documents regarding the opening of a new trade route that Allus Sierra needed. Their economy was dying, and without a new trade route to bring income to the country, bankruptcy was i

“Aren’t you hungry? Or thirsty? How are you? Do you feel any pain?” Daniel asked as soon as Ariana opened her eyes. She didn’t remember when she went to sleep. They spent the whole day and night in bed. She couldn’t even remember how many times he took her yesterday. They only had one slight break during the whole day when Daniel ordered the maid to bring some food and drinks in the evening. Ariana gobbled it up as she was famished after the day’s exertions. “I’m fine.” Ariana answered but when she wanted to move, she felt her whole body betraying her. She felt sore all over her body. Her muscles refused to move. Ariana needed to function. Yesterday she did not see her daughter all day. Daniel wouldn’t let her leave the room. He kept her for himself. Ariana missed her daughter and Daniel knew a child could not stay away from its mother for so long. Especially if Ariana was still breastfeeding. “Are you sure? I’m sorry about yesterday. I know I probably overdid it a bit.” Daniel fe

Daniel carried Ariana straight to their shared bedroom. He had no responsibilities to attend to today. His adviser or his ministers could do everything that needed to be done. Ariana was blushing all over. She was sure of what would follow. The time had finally come when they could truly just be together. No guests, no relatives, no one to constantly disturb them. “Are you feeling hot?” Daniel asked, seeing how red she was. “I feel great,” Ariana answered him, though her voice was shaking. She wanted to remember this moment until she died. Their first intimate moment together. “Can you wait just a little while?” Ariana asked him with uncertainty in her voice. She wasn’t quite sure about what she wanted to do, but since she and Maria had already bought it, she wanted to take advantage of it. “Of course.” Daniel answered her before placing her back on her feet in the bedroom. Ariana immediately ran to the closet from where she took a small cloth bag and ran to the bathroom with it.
His Rejected Queen Chapter 84.:
“Are you leaving already?” Atalante stayed in Edeirland for two more days before finally coming to say goodbye. She had been away from her country longer than necessary and it was time to return to her duties. Ariana could no longer find out exactly how old Atalante was. Atalante kept the exact number a secret and always nonchalantly avoided the question of her age. “Yes, it’s time to go home.” Atalante replied. They all sat at breakfast as Atalante announced her departure for the day. She wanted to leave immediately after breakfast to get as far as possible during the day. The borders of her country were about a week’s journey on horseback. Even if she transformed and ran in her animal form, she wouldn’t be able to keep up the pace all day. The journey would take her perhaps even longer. She could at least switch to a rested horse that was prepared in the taverns along the way. “Of course I understand that. We are very honored to have you stay with us and I think I speak to both o

“Can I?” Atalante leaned closer to Ariana, stretching her arms as she wanted to carry little Aaliyah. Ariana looked at her cooing baby before she lifted her eyes and gently handed her daughter to the Lycan Queen. In the morning, she sent Daniel to take care of the guests but currently she would be grateful to have him here. She felt vulnerable against Atalante for some unknown reason. “She’s beautiful and I can tell she’s going to be strong. I’m glad she inherited more from you than the Allus Sierra bloodline.” Atalante looked meaningfully at Ariana. She compared the baby girl to her mother, but mainly she tried to recall the features of her long-lost friend and her teacher and searched for those features in these two. “Why are you so set on Marcus and his family?” Ariana asked boldly. Atalante didn’t want to talk about them too much before, but Ariana wanted to know the truth. “Because of their guilt they bear and for which they were banished from my kingdom.” Atalante cradled
His Rejected Queen Chapter 82.:
Marcus arrived back at his castle. Although he rarely visited the North Wing since taking the throne, he headed straight there today. He looked for his father in the library, but to his surprise; he did not find him there. Marcus’s father sat in the garden attached to their very north wing. It was a private part of the castle belonging to Marcus’ parents only. The servants serving his parents did not go to his part of the castle, and likewise, Marcus’s servants did not interfere with the goings-on in the northern part. It’s almost like two separate houses. “What are you doing here?” Marcus’ father pointed at him. Ever since Marcus forcibly took over the throne from his father, his father had not spoken to him. They did not interfere in his government, although they knew about the situation in the country. Marcus’ father had his loyal servants in the castle and in the capital. “I came for answers. My mate and my child are in the hands of Daniel Colton of Edeirland. I wanted to take h

“Is everything okay?” Daniel asked the next morning when Ariana got out of bed. She couldn’t sleep yesterday. The celebrations lasted well into the night and Ariana didn’t feel like going back to the hall. She had a lot to think about. Most of all, she wanted to be with her daughter, whom she had not seen for more than half a day. Daniel didn’t join her until around 2am yesterday when he found her sitting in a chair with a sleeping baby in her arms. Ariana looked out the window at the full moon and pondered everything Atalante had told her. There was really a lot. “Not really. I don’t even know. Everything seems so surreal. A few months ago, I was slowly being chased. Marcus chased me around like a game, and now I’m the most wanted person in the world.” Ariana complained quietly to herself. Daniel got off the bed and walked a few steps toward Ariana. He wrapped her against his chest and gently stroked her hair. “Well, it’s a good thing I took you for myself. I don’t know what I’d d

“I deeply apologize for the disturbance caused by our uninvited guest. Please keep celebrating. He won’t bother us again.” Daniel apologized to the guests present in the hall. Some were looking at him with concern written on their faces, while others seemed to be rather apologetic themselves. Each guest reacted differently to the situation but almost all of them had the same question in their eyes. ‘Is he not going to come back?’ Daniel saw the question in the gaze they gave him. He couldn’t properly answer the question since he didn’t know what exactly Atalante did. For the first time in his life, he saw Lycan obey an order. They do not obey even their own parents, not to mention a stranger. Atalante was a stranger to Marcus. Daniel was curious about what Atalante wanted to talk about with Ariana, but one of them had to remain present in the hall. Daniel had an excuse for Ariana. He could easily tell the people that the attack on Atalante shook her by her former king. Not everyon
