The Alpha king's Rejected Mate The low life
Lily’s POV I could feel the heat from Alex’s anger like a storm ready to break, but he didn’t let it explode not yet, at least. The treasury room was cold, its stone walls echoing our footsteps as we walked inside. The guards scanned the room thoroughly, their eyes tracing every corner and shelf. As Alex's commanding presence loomed over the scene, I couldn’t help but feel small, like I didn’t belong there. But this was no longer the life of a servant. Alex had given me a chance. The silence in the room was suffocating. I held my breath as the guards finished their checks. Nothing had been taken, nothing was out of place. “See? There’s nothing here,” I said, almost in relief, but my voice was shaky. Stella, who had been standing off to the side, finally spoke up, and her words dripped with venom. “How can a lowlife like Lily be allowed to enter the pack’s treasure room? She must’ve stolen something.” I flinched at the insult, but it was Alex who spoke first. His voice was col

Alex’s POV I couldn’t breathe. The moment I heard the news, the world tilted. The words hit me like a tidal wave, crashing against my chest. "Lily's trapped in the kitchen... there's fire... we can't get to her..." I didn't wait to hear more. My feet were already moving before the full weight of the situation had even sunk in. I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears as I rushed through the corridors of the castle. My mind was racing with questions, but there was only one thought dominating my every movement getting to her, making sure she was safe. The flames were crackling, and the smoke was thick in the air as I reached the kitchen. I didn’t stop to think I couldn’t. My eyes locked onto the burning doorway, and my wolf pushed at the surface, urging me to act. I charged through the door, my body igniting with adrenaline. The heat was unbearable, but I didn’t care. I could hear her gasping, struggling to breathe. Her figure was barely visible in the smoke, but I could sense

Lily's povI woke up in a room so large it felt suffocating. The sheets were soft, the bed far too grand for someone like me. The walls gleamed with intricate carvings, and sunlight streamed through the towering windows. For a moment, I thought I was still dreaming until I caught the faint scent of smoke lingering on my skin. No, this wasn’t a dream. My chest tightened as the memories came flooding back. The fire. The heat that seared my skin. The way it clawed at my lungs, threatening to pull me under. My hands instinctively clenched the blanket, my heart racing. Was this… my uncle’s room? The thought jolted me upright. No, it couldn’t be. He wasn’t here. He couldn’t be. I forced myself to calm down, but the panic clawed its way back. Every flicker of light in the room reminded me of flames, every shadow stretched too long and too dark. I couldn’t stay here. I needed to get away from everyone. From Alex. I didn’t want him to see me like this, broken and scarred. The fir
Last Updated : 2024-12-04The Alpha king's Rejected Mate The ambush
Alex's POV The room felt colder without her presence, and the emptiness gnawed at me like a festering wound. Lily was gone. Somewhere out there, she could be hurt or worse. I couldn’t shake the words from the council meeting earlier that day. “In the past two days, pack members have gone missing children and adults. No one knows where they’ve gone, but bodies have started showing up.” The words played in my head like a haunting melody, over and over. Could Lily be another victim? Who would dare to step into my palace and take her? My fists clenched at the thought, the veins in my arms tightening as anger coursed through me. I strode through the halls of the palace, giving orders to every guard I encountered. “Search every corner of the kingdom,” I barked. “I don’t care if you have to search under every stone or in the deepest forest. Find her!” The guards scattered, fear and determination etched across their faces. But even as I commanded them, a sinking feeling grew in my

Alex's POV The tension in the room was suffocating as I laid Lily on the bed, her face pale and her breathing shallow. The image of her collapsing in the forest played over and over in my mind, each replay fueling the fire of my rage. “Call me a doctor,” I barked to the nearest guard, refusing to leave her side. My wolf paced restlessly within me, demanding action. Within minutes, the doctor arrived, his expression a mixture of worry and professionalism. He checked Lily’s vitals, his movements swift yet careful. After what felt like an eternity, he turned to me. “She’s fine,” he said, his voice calm. “She just needs rest. She’s been through a lot, but there’s no lasting harm. She’ll recover with time.” I nodded curtly, barely acknowledging his words. Relief coursed through me, but it was short-lived. As soon as the doctor left, another thought struck Stella. I had left her body in the forest. “Guards!” I called sharply. Two guards rushed into the room, their posture rigid

Alex’s POV I found her one morning in the garden, her back turned to me as she tended to the flowers. She looked so small, so fragile as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. Taking a deep breath, I approached her. “Lily,” I said softly, my voice careful not to startle her. She stiffened but didn’t turn around. “Alex,” she replied, her tone polite but detached. “Is there something you need?” I frowned at her response, the coldness in her voice cutting deeper than I cared to admit. “I wanted to check on you,” I said. “You’ve been keeping to yourself lately. Is everything alright?” She turned slightly, just enough for me to see the guarded expression on her face. “I’m fine. Just tired, that’s all.” “Lily, if something is bothering you, you can tell me,” I urged, stepping closer. She shook her head, avoiding my gaze. “I said I’m fine, Alex. Please, don’t worry about me.” Before I could say more, she turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, a mix of

Alex’s POV I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair. “It’s not an easy story to tell.” “And I’m not an easy person to scare.” I chuckled at that, a bitter laugh. “Fair enough.” The room felt heavier as I prepared to share what I had kept buried for years. “Her name was Seraphina,” I began, my voice steady but cold. “She was my mate or at least, I thought she was.” Lily’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean by ‘thought’?” I hesitated, the memories rushing back in vivid, painful clarity. “She betrayed me. With my Betta. My best friend.” The shock on her face mirrored the pain I felt recounting the story. “Your Beta?” “Yes,” I said, my tone sharper now. “The man I trusted with my life, the woman who was supposed to be my other half, they destroyed me.” Lily’s expression softened, but there was something in her eyes I couldn’t quite place. “What... what did you do?” “I killed them,” I said, the words heavy and unapologetic. She flinched, and for a moment

Alex's povThe walk to the palace gate was tense, my mind racing with possibilities. When we arrived, I scanned the area, my gaze sweeping over the beggars who had gathered nearby. “She’s not here,” the guard said after a moment. “Keep looking,” I growled. We searched for what felt like hours before the guard suddenly froze, pointing toward a group of children not far from the gates. “My lord, that’s her,” he said. I followed his gaze to a small girl sitting on the ground, clutching a ragged doll. She couldn’t have been more than ten years old, her clothes tattered and her face smudged with dirt. “Stay here,” I told the guard. “I’ll handle this.” As I approached, the girl looked up, her eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of fear. “Hey there, pretty one,” I said, crouching to her level. Her grip on the doll tightened, but she didn’t run. “Do you like candy?” I asked, pulling a small pouch from my pocket. Her eyes lit up as she nodded. I handed her a piece, watc

The Alpha king's Rejected Mate A New Dawn of Forever
At that moment, the shadows of the past recede completely, replaced by a brilliant light that heralds our united future. A group of elders representing both packs came forward with a small, intricately decorated chest. From it, they withdrew two rings forged from a rare metal that had long been a symbol of strength and endurance. One ring was engraved with symbols of the Northern Pack, and the other with the emblems of the Southern Pack. Together, they had been melded into one a physical embodiment of our joined destinies.Alex took the rings in his hands, his eyes softening as he looked at me. “Lily,” he said, his voice low but resonant, “these rings represent the bond that has brought us together. Not just as a couple, but as a community bound by love and shared hope. I give you this ring as a symbol of my promise, a promise that I will always stand by your side, through every joy and every challenge that may come our way.”I reached out, taking the ring from him, my fingers trembli
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Blossom Love
Before we can dwell further on our shared triumphs, a sudden murmur ripples through the garden. Mara, whose keen insights and unwavering dedication have often been our guide, approaches us with a troubled expression. “Alex, Lily,” she says softly, her eyes darting around as if searching for hidden onlookers, “I need to speak with you both. There’s something I’ve discovered that could impact the unity we’ve worked so hard to build.”A chill runs down my spine. “What is it, Mara?” I ask, trying to steady my voice despite the anxiety clawing at my heart.Mara glances around and lowers her voice. “In the process of merging our archives and unifying our traditions, I uncovered evidence that suggests a faction from the old days has been operating in the shadows. They are opposed to the merger, clinging to outdated grievances and resentments. I fear that their actions, though subtle, could undermine the trust we’ve painstakingly built.”Alex’s eyes narrow as he processes her words. “Are you
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Unity's Embrace
The evening sun cast long, golden shadows through the windows as we talked about our hopes for the future dreams of a peaceful life, a community united by love, and a legacy that would honor the struggles and sacrifices that had brought us to this moment. We laughed softly about the quirks of parenthood that awaited us, the inevitable challenges of balancing leadership with family life, and the simple joys of watching our child grow.In the quiet moments that followed, as the night deepened around us and the stars began to twinkle in the heavens above, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for every twist and turn that had led me to this precious moment. Every tear, every sacrifice, every heartbreak had been a stepping stone to the love and happiness I now held in my arms.And so, as I lay in bed that night with Alex by my side, our newborn peacefully asleep in the next room, I made a silent vow to always cherish the miracle of this life, to nurture our love with every ounce of st
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Hearts United
The soft glow of early morning light filtered through the gauzy curtains of our recovery room as I lay back against the crisp white sheets, feeling the tender stirrings of new life within me. Today, everything felt different, charged with an emotion that I couldn’t quite name but knew was the culmination of our shared trials and triumphs. I had delivered our baby boy just hours ago, and even now, the gentle cooing of our newborn filled the quiet room with a promise of hope and renewal.I remember the moment of his arrival as if it were a vivid dream. The pain of labor had been intense, a reminder of the sacrifices we were all willing to make for the future we had dared to imagine. Every contraction, every fleeting moment of doubt, had been washed away the instant I heard his first cry. At that moment, the world outside our little sanctuary, with all its chaos and heartbreak, faded into insignificance. All that mattered was the soft, determined beat of a tiny heart, a new life that had
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Reawakening Miracle
I swallow hard, every breath a struggle against both the pain and the swelling tide of emotions within me. “I can't, I won't go through with it if he’s not by my side,” I insist, a tear trailing down my cheek as I clutch at the sheets. “I made a promise, and I’m not breaking it now.”Outside my room, the city hums with the cautious optimism that has sustained us through years of rebuilding and heartbreak. The pack members, my extended family, exchange anxious glances as I continue to fight against the relentless pain of labor. For a long moment, despair mingles with hope, and in that suspended breath of time, I feel utterly alone until a sound, unexpected and urgent, shatters the silence.A distant beeping grows louder, a familiar rhythm that sends shockwaves of disbelief through my mind. My heart skips, and a mix of hope and incredulity floods me. “Alex?” I croak, barely able to form the word, as the beeping intensifies. A nurse rushes in, her eyes wide with a mixture of astonishment
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate our Bond
The days blur into a tense routine of meetings, investigations, and solitary vigils by Alex’s side. Despite the mounting evidence of betrayal, I find moments of unexpected beauty. One afternoon, as I sat in the hospital garden, I overheard a group of children laughing and playing near a fountain that once stood neglected. Their innocence is a stark reminder that life, in all its complexity, continues to bloom even in the face of adversity.I speak softly to Alex as if he were awake. “Look at them, Alex. Their laughter is a promise that even after the darkest nights, a new day will rise. I’ll fight for that day for you, for our child, for everyone who believes in this future.”A gentle breeze rustles the leaves above, and for a fleeting moment, I imagine that it’s Alex’s whisper carried to me on the wind: “I’m right there with you.That evening, as I prepare to leave for another round of council meetings, Mara appears at my side once again. “Lily,” she says urgently, “I found more evi
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Cradles of Destiny
I sit by the bedside, the steady beep of the monitor punctuating the silence that has become both a comfort and a torment. Outside, the city that once seethed with chaos now hums with a newfound calm, a fragile peace that I helped forge. Yet inside, my heart feels heavy, every beat echoing the uncertainty of tomorrow. Alex lies there in his coma, a shell of the man who once ignited my every hope. I run my fingers over his cool hand and murmur, “I’m still here, Alex. I’m still fighting for you… for us.”The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of responsibility and change. With Alex incapacitated, the burden of leadership fell on my shoulders managing the delicate truce between rival packs, nurturing the rebuilding of our ravaged city, and, most profoundly, carrying the secret of our new life together. Every morning, I awake to the soft stirring of life inside me, a constant reminder of the bond between Alex and me, a love that defies even the confines of fate. Yet, while I nurture thi
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate Lost Between Worlds
Lily’s POV The moment Alex’s body collapsed, the world around me blurred. My heart pounded violently against my ribs as I dropped to my knees beside him. Blood so much blood was pooling beneath him, soaking the ground. His face was pale, his breathing shallow, and his eyes… they weren’t opening. “No, no, no Alex, stay with me!” I cried, pressing my hands against the wound in his chest. My fingers trembled as I tried to stop the bleeding, but the silver-laced dagger had done its damage. “Somebody help me!” I screamed. Footsteps thundered toward me. Kael, Alex’s Beta, shoved his sword into the ground and knelt beside me, his face pale with horror. “Shit,” he muttered. “He’s barely breathing. We need to get him to the hospital NOW!” Finn and a few other warriors rushed forward. Together, they lifted Alex’s limp body, carrying him toward the packhouse at an inhuman speed. My legs shook as I forced myself to follow, my vision swimming with tears. He can’t die.Not after ever
The Alpha king's Rejected Mate The payback
I scanned the battlefield one final time from the parapet, my eyes burning with resolve. "Keep fighting!" I roared. "Remember this fortress is our home, and we defend it with our lives!" As I stood there, a final image burned into my mind: a lone silver arrow, released by an unsteady hand, streaking through the dark and finding its mark on a vital soldier near the gate. And then I froze. My heart sank as I realized that, despite our efforts, a single misstep could unravel everything we had built. I muttered under my breath, "No... we can’t let this happen." Just then, a guard rushed up, breathless and panicked. "Alpha! More enemy reinforcements are on the move. They’re regrouping near the east wall!" I gripped my sword tighter, my knuckles white. "Sound the alarm!" I commanded, my voice echoing off the stone. "Everyone to their posts prepares for the next assault!" My men obeyed without hesitation, their unified determination a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding around
