Kira's POV.

The drive to Crimson Crown is long and miserable in Damian's car. My body aches from being crammed in the backseat, wedged between bags and luggage. Every bump in the road feels like a punch to my spine, and by the time we finally pull into the pack’s territory, I’m stiff and sore.

But my discomfort is forgotten the moment I see the pack itself.

Bright lights illuminate sleek, modern buildings, their glass windows reflecting the moonlight like crystals. Paved roads wind smoothly through the area, with street lamps lining the paths. Houses aren’t just big — they’re luxurious, with large balconies, polished stone exteriors, and well-manicured lawns. Compared to my old pack’s small, outdated structures, Crimson Crown feels like an entirely different world.

Wow, this is incredible...

I’m still staring out of the glass when Damian clears his throat sharply.

“Listen,” he says, his voice low and cold. “I need you to follow some rules while you’re here.”

    Kira's POV The maid and I walk across the grounds, and I can't help but silently admire how well-maintained everything is. The stone paths are spotless, and lanterns cast a soft golden glow across the property. Crimson Crown feels less like a pack and more like a kingdom. “You must be exhausted,” the maid says kindly, breaking the silence. “I am,” I admit, my voice quieter than I intended. “My name’s Martha, by the way,” she adds with a warm smile. “I’ll be helping you get settled here.” “Thank you, Martha, I'm Kira.” I say softly, grateful for her kindness. “Well, Kira let’s get you settled,” Martha says with a smile. We stop at a side entrance of the mansion, and Martha leads me inside. I expect dark, cold corridors and cramped rooms — something barely livable — but instead, I’m greeted by a surprisingly warm and inviting space. The hallway is lined with polished wooden floors, and the walls are painted a soft cream color. The air smells faintly of lavender. “This is it,” Ma

    Kira's POV. My heart pounds so hard I can feel it in my throat. Fear, anxiety, and dread swirling inside me as Alpha Magnus’s cold gaze pins me in place. I don’t know what’s worse — being caught on Julian’s lap or the fact that Damian is standing there, looking furious after warning me to stay away from his brother. “Julian,” Alpha Magnus says, his voice low and sharp, “what are you doing with the new maid Damian brought back with him?” “You should be asking him that,” Julian replies pointing at Damian with his tone dry and clipped. Embarrassment washes over me, and I scramble off Julian’s lap, nearly knocking myself down in the process. “I-It’s not what it looks like, Alpha Magnus,” I stammer, my voice barely above a whisper. But suddenly Damian steps forward before I can explain further. “Nothing serious dad,” he says with a casual shrug. “Kira was just about to clean my room when she walked in at the wrong time. She saw something she shouldn’t have and bolted.” His e

    Kira's POV. The room goes still the moment the head chef asks, “Who made this?” Every head in the kitchen turns — and every finger points at me. My stomach twists as the chef’s sharp eyes lock onto mine. He strides across the room, stopping right in front of me. His presence feels suffocating, like the air itself is pressing down on my chest. “You,” he says, voice low and firm. “Who taught you to make that soup?” I swallow hard, my mind scrambling for words. “I... I just... I love cooking,” I stammer. “I—I taught myself.” The chef stares at me a moment longer, his expression unreadable. Then, with a curt nod, he turns on his heel. “Take the food out,” he orders the other servants before heading for the door. I stand frozen, my mind racing. Is that it? He didn’t praise it... or insult it. Was the soup good or bad? Suddenly, I start to imagine the worst — the Alpha King sitting at his grand dining table, and taking a spoonful of my soup expecting his usual delicious soup only fo

  • Rejected By My Mate. Claimed By His Disabled Brother.   Chapter 17.

    Julian's POV. (A few minutes prior to kira trying to escape) I sit at my desk, staring blankly at the pile of paperwork scattered across the surface. My mind isn’t on reports or pack affairs I'm in charge of— it’s stuck on Kira. The way she looked when she stormed out of Damian’s room said it all. Her face was flushed, her eyes red-rimmed with unshed tears, and her maid's uniform was wrinkled like she'd been clenching her fists just to hold herself together. I don’t know what happened in that room, but whatever it was, it couldn’t have been good — especially for Kira. After all, Damian had been in there with Katie, his long-time girlfriend. The thought leaves a bitter taste in my mouth I scoff under my breath and lean back in my chair, rubbing a hand down my face and remind myself that she’s not my problem. She's Damian’s mate — that alone should be reason enough for me to forget her. But I can’t. I keep seeing her face. That defeated look in her eyes. Something about her l

    Kira's POV "Are you sure he’s asking for me?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper. The head chef doesn’t slow his stride. "Yes," he grunts. "Said he wanted to see the one who made the mushroom soup." My stomach twists. "Did... did he say why?" He shoots me a sharp look over his shoulder. "If Alpha Magnus explained himself every time he called for someone, we'd all sleep easier." That doesn’t help my nerves. My heart pounds wildly as I follow him down the narrow hallway with my fingers clenched to the edge of my uniform... He hated it and is definitely furious, I think. By the time we reach the dining room doors, my breath is shallow and the head chef pauses, giving me a hard look. "Whatever happens in there," he mutters, "keep your head down and your mouth shut no matter what you are told." Before I can respond, he pushes the door open. Alpha Magnus sits at the head of the grand dining table, his cold unreadable sharp gaze immediately locking onto mine the moment

    Julian's POV. "And why did she run out like that?" Father’s voice rumbles through the dining room with his brows knitted in confusion as we all watch Kira run out of the room after Damian's surprise announcement. I glance at Damian, already bracing for his usual slick answer which he doesn’t disappoint. "Probably overwhelmed," Damian says with a casual shrug, his voice far too smooth. "From the praise of the soup she cooked us." What a liar, I'm disgusted to be related to him by blood and this is all thanks to his mother who only taught him to lie and that status is everything and that anyone lower than him is beneath him and can be treated however he wanted. I scoff under my breath, loud enough for them to hear. Father’s sharp gaze swings toward me. "Did your brother say something funny, Julian?" I meet his eyes, feeling that old familiar tension tightening my chest. "Yeah he did… Ask him if Katie is really his mate." Father shoots his a questioning look and Damian’s

  • Rejected By My Mate. Claimed By His Disabled Brother.   Chapter 20.

    Kira's POV Damian’s grip is like iron as he drags me down the dimly lit corridor. My arm aches, but I refuse to complain — I won’t give him the satisfaction after the announcement he made. The soles of my worn-out flats scuff against the carpet, the thin material barely cushioning my steps while my heart hammers in my chest, not out of fear... but boiling, blistering anger. He shoves open a door that reveal a beautiful well decorated small sitting room and yanks me inside…The door slams behind us, and the sharp click of the lock makes my stomach tighten. “Let go of me!” I snap, wrenching my arm free. I stumble back, breathing hard. “What is your problem?” Damian’s cold blue eyes narrow. “ I want to assure you that I’m not going rejecting you,” he says flatly and for a second, I’m sure I misheard him. "What?" “I’m not going rejecting you,” he repeats, like I should be grateful. His tone is casual — smug, even — like he's offering me a gift. I let out a bitter laugh. “Y

  • Rejected By My Mate. Claimed By His Disabled Brother.   Chapter 21.

    kira's POV I could tell Alpha Magnus the truth, but Damian’s lies have already sunk in too deep. No one would believe me now. ‘What about running away?’ my wolf suggests but we both know that it would only get us so far without any money before the bond would pull us back or worse, someone catches me before I reached the border. I stare at the door, still faintly vibrating from how hard he slammed it. Fine, I think bitterly. If Damian won’t reject me... I’ll make him want to. I storm out of the room, my breath shaky and uneven as my heart pounds in my chest, a painful rhythm that matches the chaos in my head... Damian’s twisted plan keeps replaying over and over — he’s going to marry Katie and still keep me chained to him like some forgotten possession. Lost in my thoughts, I don’t notice someone stepping into my path until I crash right into them. “Watch where you’re going, you filthy mutt,” a cold voice hisses. I look up and my stomach twists out of fear that im

    Kira's POV. The moment we step into the elevator, I slip off my heels with a groan of relief because my feet are killing me. Those shoes were definitely not made for beginners... Thank the goddess I managed to survive the night without falling flat on my face and embarrass myself in the process... We ride up in silence, and when we reach Julian’s room, it’s quiet and dimly lit, casting a soft glow that feels strangely calming after the day I just had. Julian then locks the door behind us, before he speaks up with a small smirk. “So… about that trim you promised me, are you still up for it?” I turn to face him, arms crossed with a teasing grin. “Finally. I was starting to think you weren't going to allow me cut it for you.” He laughs. “What can I say? I like to keep you on your toes.” “Well, mission accomplished. Now, where’s your grooming kit?” I ask and Julian nods toward a dark wooden cabinet in one of the corners of the room. “First drawer.” I walk over, open it,

    Kira's POV. The dining room feels lighter now that Damian and Katie are gone but Julian doesn’t stop tormenting his step mom because she also knows who is really fated to her son... Julian's hand grazes mine again, slower and intentional this time, before he leans in, brushing a stray hair away from my face. “You okay?” he murmurs, his voice low and intimate only for me to hear. I nod, but in all honesty this was the most intimidating dinner I have ever been invited to. “Its been a long day and you’re allowed to be tired if you are,” he adds, just for my ears and I feel Luna Cassandra’s stare slice across the table like a blade. Her wine glass is still poised, but her lips are pressed tight. Julian sees it too and he leans back, unbothered, wearing that wicked smirk that only deepens her scowl. “Some people wear masks so long, they forget what their real face looks like,” he says under his breath. “But not you. I see you.” I blink, surprised by the brutal honesty in

    Damian's POV. I can still feel the sting of embarrassment in front of everyone at the table… I can't believe father took Kira's side over mine and now Julian smirks like he is being renamed Alpha heir while Kira hasn’t looked my way since I picked up that damn fork after I tried to humiliate. I grip it tight in my hand now, the prongs digging into the meat like it’s the only thing stopping me from snapping. “Such tension,” Father says, swirling his wine like we’re at some royal gala and not a warzone. “But I suppose that’s what young love does to a table.” Julian doesn’t even pretend to hide his grin. “Couldn’t agree more.” He turns to Kira, brushing something off her cheek. “You had a little something on your face,” he murmurs, just loud enough for all of us to hear. “Can’t let perfection go unnoticed.” Kira lets out a soft shy but genuine laugh… I clench my jaw because now she is just enjoying tormenting me even though I forbade her to be with anyone else even though I

    Julian’s POV. Finding kira in a gloomy mood after my physiotherapy session, it was clear something was weighing on her, and though she wasn’t ready to talk about it, I knew the only thing that could lift her spirits was provoking my dear stupid brother at dinner until he finally snapped and rejected her for good. I finish rolling up my sleeves and glance sideways just in time to catch her wobble. Kira stands by the mirror in the closet, frowning at her reflection and more specifically, at the heels and the soft pink dress that hugs her frame like it was made for her, while the palace lights spilling through the window highlight every curve, every freckle, and every strand of those wild red curls. She looks like spring has come to life. Soft. Radiant and completely unprepared. “You’re going to break your ankle before we even leave the room,” I say, amused, watching her take another unsteady step toward me. “I told you I’ve never worn heels,” she mutters, gripping the dresse

    Kira's POV. Julian’s massive walk-in closet looks like it belongs in a royal catalog—probably because it does. Everything inside it gleams. Organized and perfect. The racks on his side are filled with clothes and shoes that probably cost more than I’ve seen in my entire life. Now the cleaning servants are clearing space on the other side for me. I watch silently as one of them hesitates near the shoe rack, eyeing the neatly lined heels like she’s unsure if it’s okay to touch anything. “You can place the shoes over there,” I say softly, pointing to the lower section with the empty shelf. “They’ll fit just fine.” The servant nods too quickly and scurries off like I might bark orders at her next which I won’t... But the way they avoid my eyes now says it all. They’re scared of me not because I’ve changed, but because of who I’m with. I sigh and turn back to the growing pile of new clothes, carefully folding a soft lavender cashmere sweater Julian bought me… Suddenly, the d

    Julian's POV.What condition does my father have for kira who already been through hell since she got here?I tense immediately, sitting straighter in my chair as I glance at Kira. She’s frozen beside me, hands clasped tightly in her lap, eyes flicking between me and my father like she’s bracing for a blow.“What condition?” I ask, keeping my voice steady, but my jaw clenches.Father leans forward slightly, his gaze firm but calm. “Kira must continue cooking me my favorite mushroom soup every morning. Just as I asked her before all… this.”Kira blinks, clearly caught off guard. “That’s it?”Father nods. “That soup yesterday morning and today has kept my appetite alive. I won’t give it up.”Relief washes through the room like a warm breeze, loosening the stiffness in Kira’s shoulders. I bite down on a grin, fighting the urge to laugh, but she beats me to it—soft and light like wind chimes in spring.“I can do that Alpha Magnus,” she says, glancing at me shyly. “I wasn’t planning to sto

    Kira's POV. Julian glances up at the woman who walked in on our lunch, his expression unreadable. “Evelyn.” She grins like he just paid her a compliment. “I almost didn’t recognize you sitting here so casually. Then again, you always did not like the attention.” He doesn’t return the smile. “Some things never change.” She laughs softly, eyes glittering. “And some things do. You look good….” Julian shrugs. “You’re imagining things.” Evelyn’s gaze lingers on him like she’s trying to peel back his layers and then she shifts her weight, letting one hand trail along the booth’s polished edge. “I heard about your accident. The rumors were… dramatic.” But Julian doesn’t respond and she leans in a fraction, dropping her voice to something more personal. “I was going to reach out, but I figured you’d show up in public when you were ready.” He offers her nothing but a nod. That should be my cue to speak and introduce myself, or at least pretend to exist but something about the way she

    Kira's POV. “That is a nice top you have on,” one of the huge tattooed men says, stepping forward. “But it doesn’t match the rest of you, though. You look like you belong in a brothel, not in royal silk.” They laugh and my hand grips the edge of the top tighter. “I don’t want any trouble sirs.” “Neither do we,” one says with a grin that makes my skin crawl. “Just want to be friendly.” “Yes, just give us a little taste. That mouth of yours—bet it’s good for more than talking.” Panic claws its way up my throat. I try to dart past him, but another grabs my arm—rough and possessive. “LET GO OF ME!” They don’t. Instead, the one behind me tugs at the hem of my top. Rip!!! The sound shatters me and cold air rushes over my exposed side as my shirt tears. I’m frozen in place. Tears fill my eyes, not from pain but from the fear and humiliation. They don’t even know who I am. Just an omega in the wrong place at the wrong time. A nobody to anyone. “Stop struggling. We’ll b

    Kira's POV Okay, so maybe I started it. One comment about trimming Julian's mountain-man look and suddenly I’ve got a salon appointment and a full beauty treatment scheduled like I’m prepping for a royal engagement. I lean back in the car's back seat, arms crossed, dressed in dark blue skinny jeans, a pink blouse, and pink wedges. “For the record,” I say, deadpan, “I suggested a trim—not a full-on makeover.” He doesn’t respond—just smirks like he’s already won something. I glance at him, all smug and unreadable. I only poked fun at his beard because he looked like he hadn’t seen daylight in a decade and I wanted to trim it as a way of saying thank you for the new wardrobe. It wasn’t an invitation for this. “Was this always part of the plan?” I ask. “Or are you just improvising to amuse yourself?” “Both,” he says smoothly. “You said you want people to see me. Seems only fair I return the favor.” I scoff, turning back to the window. This wasn’t supposed to be about ha
