Rejected Not Forsaken: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 37
The next morning, as sunlight filtered through the pack grounds, Kane sought out Layla.He found her near the training field, where she was watching a few of the younger pack members practice. Her gaze was distant, as though she were seeing something beyond the field.Kane approached slowly, taking in her pensive expression. “Layla,” he called gently.She turned to him, a slight smile softening her features. “Alpha King.”“Just Kane, please,” he replied, smiling slightly. He paused, searching her face. “I wanted to talk to you about something important.”She raised an eyebrow, looking both curious and slightly wary.“My work here is done,” he began, carefully watching her reaction. “And it’s time I returned to my own pack.”Her gaze faltered slightly, though she quickly masked whatever emotions were flickering there. “Oh.”“I wanted to ask you, officially, if you’d consider coming with me,” he continued, his voice low and steady. “To my pack.”She blinked, clearly surprised by the off

The mansion was grander than Layla had ever imagined, with soaring ceilings, intricate woodwork, and chandeliers that sparkled even in the daylight.Kane walked beside her, his hand occasionally brushing her back to guide her forward.“This place is so… beautiful,” Layla murmured as they reached the top of the main staircase.Kane chuckled, his gaze warm. “I’m glad you think so. And I’m glad you’re here to see it.”He led her down a quiet hallway to a door at the far end, which he opened to reveal a large, elegant room with soft cream colored walls, a massive bed, and floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the forest and mountains.The room was furnished simply but tastefully, with a comfortable sitting area near the windows and a small bookshelf stocked with a selection of novels and histories.Layla stepped inside, taking in the beauty of the space, feeling a swell of gratitude rise within her.She’d never imagined having a room like this, let alone in a place where she felt genui

The next day, Amelia’s eyes narrowed with satisfaction as she pressed her weight against Layla’s door, ensuring it would stay firmly shut.She’d been up at the crack of dawn, far earlier than usual, her mind spinning with ways to subtly sabotage the woman she saw as an interloper in her domain.Trapping Layla in her room was a simple but effective plan, missing a meal and failing to appear before Kane would certainly cast Layla in a poor light. She smirked, feeling a thrill of vindication.As she hurried down the hall, Amelia envisioned Kane waiting in the dining room, puzzled as to why Layla wasn’t there and, perhaps, even a bit disappointed. But Amelia would be there to explain, ever the devoted aid, ready to assist and subtly imply Layla’s incompetence.She glided down the hallway, anticipation building. But as she approached the dining room, Amelia’s confident stride faltered.Voices drifted through the open doors, Kane’s deep tone mingling with the softer, unmistakable laughter o

Amelia’s mood was still simmering with resentment long after Kane and Layla had left the dining hall.She couldn’t shake the image of them strolling together through the gardens, of Kane’s attentiveness to Layla, his easy warmth that Amelia had never been able to coax out of him.She paced her quarters, her thoughts turbulent, replaying the morning’s events in a loop of irritation and jealousy.Suddenly, a faint rustling sound broke her focus. Her senses sharpened, and she turned toward the window, where a shadow moved just beyond the sill.A shiver of recognition traveled up her spine as a figure stepped into the dim light.Aiden.The former Alpha, dethroned and disgraced, stood before her with a hardened expression. His once, charismatic face was now marked by shadows and anger, his posture tense.He looked every bit the rogue he’d become, estranged, embittered, and brimming with rage.Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected to see him here, especially not now, so close t

The morning sun was gentle, casting a soft light over the dining hall where Layla sat across from Kane. Her presence felt like a balm to Kane’s restless heart, he enjoyed these quiet breakfasts, a moment of calm with her before the demands of his role as Alpha King swept him away.Layla, though still reserved, was beginning to open up, and Kane cherished every small smile and light laugh she shared with him.Amelia, standing discreetly in the corner, watched them from a distance, her expression unreadable.The seeds of her jealousy and anger simmered beneath her placid exterior, but no one could have guessed the turmoil beneath her poised demeanor.After her encounter with Aiden the previous night, she’d come armed with a new plan, a simple, seemingly harmless detail that would put her scheme into motion.The kitchen staff, under Amelia’s calculated instruction, had prepared Layla’s breakfast. She’d taken care to instruct one of the newer kitchen aides to add a “special ingredient” wi

The days following Layla’s close call were tense, laced with an air of silent animosity that hovered around the mansion.Kane grew increasingly protective, determined to ensure her safety amidst the simmering tensions and the unexpected threats that seemed to lurk in every corner.He arranged for additional security around the estate, a discreet gesture he hoped would ease her mind.But beneath the surface, unseen to Kane and Layla, Amelia’s anger only grew.Aiden had planted a seed of malice within her that now took root, and each day she stewed in her jealousy, resentful of the bond between the Alpha King and the “unworthy” Omega girl who, as she saw it, had stolen the attention she deserved.She had always believed that she was the one Kane would one day notice, that his affection and admiration would be hers. And now, this plan, this alliance with Aiden, had become her sole focus.Meanwhile, Kane tried to make things easier for Layla.He offered her responsibilities that would make

The mansion was quiet under the silvery glow of moonlight as Layla wandered the corridors, restless and unable to find peace.She hugged herself, lost in her thoughts, trying to shake the heavy feeling that seemed to settle in her chest.Amelia’s words, though cruel, had stuck with her, and her mind kept drifting to questions she wished she didn’t have to answer.Her wandering steps had taken her to the window overlooking the garden. The night air, cool and serene, brought a bit of comfort.Just as she was beginning to lose herself in her thoughts, a warm presence drew close. Kane’s scent reached her, and she felt the heat of him before he even spoke.“Layla,” he murmured softly, his voice gentle and deep.She turned, her heart skipping a beat as she saw him standing there.His face was half lit by the moonlight streaming in through the window, his expression softened by concern.“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked, stepping closer until he was just behind her.Layla managed a small smile, tho

The morning sunlight filtered softly through the windows, casting a warm glow over Layla’s room. She stretched, savoring the rare feeling of peace and security she hadn’t felt in years.Lying beside her, Kane was still asleep, his arm resting protectively around her.His presence was steady and calming, grounding her in a way she hadn’t thought possible.Just as she nestled closer, hoping to steal a few more quiet moments, the door swung open with a loud bang.Layla sat up in alarm, her heart racing as she saw Amelia standing in the doorway, her face twisted with fury.She barely glanced at Layla, her eyes fixed on Kane, who was slowly stirring awake, blinking in confusion.“What’s the meaning of this?” Kane demanded, his voice low and dangerous as he shifted to sit up, shielding Layla behind him.Amelia took a step forward, her hands clenched into fists. “I’ve been with you from the beginning, Kane!” she spat out, her voice trembling with frustration. “How could you humiliate me like

The announcement of an all children’s party in the Alpha King’s pack sent ripples of excitement across the packs.Alpha King Kane, who had been reclusive and brooding for years, had unexpectedly decided to host an extravagant event to celebrate the little ones.Invitations were extended to neighboring packs, and it became the talk of the territories.Kane's intentions, however, were far from innocent.His sole purpose in hosting the party was to get Aria to bring Ace. He hoped that amidst the joyful chaos of children playing, he could find a moment to spend with her, to study her up close, and perhaps unravel the enigma that had haunted him since.The Alpha King’s packhouse and surrounding grounds were transformed into a vibrant, child friendly wonderland.Brightly colored banners and balloons adorned the trees, while rows of tables laden with treats stretched as far as the eye could see.There were games, pony rides, bouncy castles, and even a small theater for storytelling.Kane had

The day after Rylan and Aria’s visit to Kane’s pack, whispers began to ripple through the packhouse and beyond.The uncanny resemblance between Rylan’s Luna, Aria, and the late Layla was the topic on everyone’s lips.In hushed voices, members of the pack speculated about the strange coincidence, while others suggested it might not be a coincidence at all.“I’m telling you,” one elder murmured to another in the courtyard, his voice low. “She looked just like Layla. Same eyes, same build. It’s eerie.”“Do you think it’s her?” a younger warrior asked skeptically. “That’s impossible. Layla’s gone. We buried her.”The elder shook his head, uncertainty clouding his features. “I don’t know. But the Alpha King didn’t seem himself when she was here.”“Did you see the way he kept looking at her?” another chimed in. “It’s like he saw a ghost.”The murmurs weren’t confined to the packhouse.In the marketplace and along the patrol routes, the resemblance between Aria and Layla became a constant un

When Kane returned to his pack, he called for Liam immediately.“Dig deeper into Rylan’s Luna,” Kane commanded, his voice low but firm.Liam frowned. “We’ve already tried, Alpha. There’s nothing to...”“Try again,” Kane snapped. “I want to know everything about her. Where she came from, how they met, everything.”Liam nodded reluctantly, though the concern in his eyes was evident.As the door closed behind him, Kane sank into his chair, his wolf growling restlessly.“She’s alive,” Kane murmured to himself. “And I’m going to find out why she doesn’t remember me.”And perhaps, for the boy who had dared to prank an Alpha King..............Days after Kane’s visit to Rylan’s pack, the Alpha King sent a formal letter, delivered by Liam himself, to Rylan’s packhouse.The letter bore the royal crest and invited Rylan, Aria, and Ace to visit Kane’s pack for an official meeting of goodwill and reconciliation.Rylan read the letter carefully, his brows furrowing as he considered the implicatio

The possibilities swirled in his mind, each more painful than the last.Had she been alive all this time, hiding from him deliberately?If so, why?Was it possible that Rylan, the smug Alpha who had challenged his throne, had rescued her and manipulated her memories?Or was it truly amnesia, a cruel twist of fate that had stolen their shared history from her mind?His thoughts shifted to the boy, Ace.The child had Layla’s vibrant spirit, but his features were harder to place.Kane couldn’t shake the feeling that Ace might be his, yet the timeline didn’t fit.Layla had been gone for nearly five years, and Ace was only four.And yet, the nagging possibility refused to be silenced.A knock at the door interrupted his spiraling thoughts. “Come in,” he barked, his voice sharp.Amelia stepped inside, her presence as uninvited as ever.She had been trying to claw her way back into his good graces, though Kane kept her at arm’s length.“You’ve been restless since you returned from the city,”

The sun was high as Aria stepped out of the car, holding Ace’s small hand.The bustling city streets were alive with activity, the perfect backdrop for their shopping trip.Ace, now four years old, was as mischievous as ever, and Aria had her hands full trying to keep him from running off at every opportunity.“We’re here to get you new clothes, remember?” she said, crouching down to his level.Ace wrinkled his nose. “Clothes are boring. Can we get ice cream too?”Aria smiled, ruffling his golden curls. “If you behave.”“I always behave,” Ace replied with an innocent grin that didn’t fool her in the slightest.As they strolled through the city, Ace’s eyes darted from one stall to another, filled with endless possibilities for trouble.The crowds gave him the perfect cover to slip away while Aria was momentarily distracted by a display of children’s shoes.“Ace?” she called, glancing around.No answer.Her heart skipped a beat as she scanned the area, but Ace was already a few steps ah

Years passed, but the stalemate between Alpha King Kane and Alpha Rylan persisted.The packs had settled into a tenuous peace, though tension lingered beneath the surface.Kane remained on the throne, his position unshaken by the halted election.Rylan, though unable to dethrone the Alpha King, had solidified his own pack’s strength, gaining loyalty and admiration from many.Despite their ongoing rivalry, neither had made a decisive move to change the status quo.In the midst of this uneasy calm, there was one bright, unpredictable force that no one could ignore, Ace, Rylan and Aria's three year old son.Mischievous, stubborn, and endlessly charming, Ace had become the heart of Rylan’s pack, bringing moments of joy and chaos to everyone around him.Ace was a whirlwind of energy, constantly on the move and always getting into some sort of trouble.Whether it was sneaking into the kitchens to steal sweets or hiding important documents from the elders, his antics were as exhausting as th

The tension among the Alpha community was palpable.The throne of the Alpha King, once the pinnacle of werewolf hierarchy, now stood as the center of a bitter power struggle.What should have been a straightforward process to elect a new leader had devolved into chaos. Two names dominated every conversation, Alpha King Kane and Alpha Rylan.Though Kane, by blood and right, still claimed ownership of the throne, his months of grief and absence had left cracks in the foundation of his authority.Rylan’s challenge, fueled by his reputation as a strong, capable leader, had garnered considerable support. Neither man seemed willing to back down, and their steadfast stances were causing ripples across every pack.Inside his chambers, Kane stood tall, his commanding aura returning after months of mourning.His presence alone was enough to make even the most hardened elders falter. Yet, behind his stoic exterior, a storm brewed.“Enough of this election nonsense,” Kane barked at the gathered c

The heavy oak door creaked open as Rylan entered their home, his expression grim.His steps were slower than usual, shoulders hunched under the weight of frustration.The faint glow of the setting sun cast long shadows across the room, where Aria stood, gently swaying Ace in her arms.“Rylan,” she said softly, her voice immediately filled with concern.She didn’t need to ask if something had gone wrong, his body language said it all. “What happened at the meeting?”He paused, glancing at her and their sleeping child. For a moment, the sight of them eased the tension in his chest, but it wasn’t enough to quell the storm raging in his mind.Without a word, he moved to place his jacket on the back of the chair, his fingers lingering on the fabric.When he finally spoke, his voice was laced with irritation. “It was worse than I expected.”Aria placed Ace gently into his crib, her motherly instincts ensuring he remained undisturbed, and turned to Rylan.She gestured for him to sit with her

“Liam,” she called, her tone sharper than she intended.The Beta turned, his expression neutral but wary as she approached. “Amelia. What can I do for you?”She crossed her arms over her chest, fixing him with a pointed look. “I want to know what’s going on with Kane.”Liam raised an eyebrow. “You’ll have to be more specific.”“Don’t play coy with me,” she snapped. “I know he’s been fixated on Rylan’s Luna. Why? What’s so important about her?”Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair. “It’s not my place to discuss the Alpha King’s private matters.”“Don’t give me that,” Amelia shot back. “I’ve been by his side for years. I deserve to know what’s going on.”Liam hesitated, his loyalty to Kane evident in the way he held his ground. “All I can say is that Kane believes there’s more to Rylan’s Luna than meets the eye. He’s looking for answers.”“Answers to what?” Amelia pressed.“That,” Liam said firmly, “is for Kane to decide when, or if, he wants to share.”Amelia’s frustration boil
