Rejected Not Forsaken: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 49
Kane guided Layla to a quiet alcove in the hallway, his hand gentle as he helped her sit on a nearby bench. Her breathing was ragged, her face flushed, and her eyes filled with tears.“Layla, look at me,” he said softly, crouching in front of her. “What happened back there?”Layla blinked at him, her vision clearing slightly as she focused on his face. “I… I don’t know,” she whispered, feeling utterly mortified. “I just felt… out of control, like my emotions were too strong. I couldn’t think straight.”Kane’s eyes narrowed. He reached for her glass, which she still held in her hands, and sniffed it.A faint, unnatural scent lingered, and his jaw clenched.“Layla, I think someone put something in your drink,” he said quietly, anger flashing in his eyes.Layla’s eyes widened in shock. “What? But… why would anyone do that?”He stood, his gaze steely. “I have a suspicion, but I’ll need to confirm it.” He took her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “Come on. I’ll have the healer take a l

The next morning, the early light filtered through the trees as Alpha King Kane led Layla deep into the forest.The tension from the previous night had melted away in her presence, leaving him with a renewed sense of peace he hadn’t felt in ages.He had decided they needed time together, away from the pack, away from the walls that were suddenly filled with jealousy and plots. Here, in the quiet of the forest, he could focus solely on her and introduce her to a vital part of his life.“Ready?” he asked, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as he glanced at her, his wolf already pacing within him, eager to meet hers.Layla nodded, her heart racing with a mixture of excitement and nerves.She had spent so much time around Kane, but their wolves had yet to connect. As her eyes met his, she took a steadying breath, feeling the primal energy of her wolf surge up, ready to meet his.With a final nod, she let go, shifting seamlessly into her form.Kane transformed beside her, h

The sun was barely rising over the horizon when Amelia’s plan began to unfurl with deadly precision.Moving silently through the packhouse, Amelia wore a serene, almost angelic expression, masking the venom of her true intentions.She had spent the night dreaming of this moment, knowing just how devastating it would be to Kane, and how perfectly it would serve her goal.She would rid herself of Layla once and for all.Her first step was to locate Liam, Kane’s beta.Liam was known throughout the pack for his unswerving loyalty and integrity, the perfect pillar of support for Kane and the pack itself.If Amelia could turn the tide of suspicion toward Layla in a way that implicated Liam, Kane would be forced to take the situation seriously. And soon, rumors would spread, carrying whispers of doubt about Layla to the heart of the pack.Amelia approached several pack members as they moved about the packhouse, her words laced with the right mix of concern and pity, cloaking her true intenti

After Layla was escorted to her quarters, Kane remained in Liam’s room, his expression grim and his fists clenched at his sides.He took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Liam, who stood uncomfortably, his eyes filled with confusion and a hint of guilt.“Liam,” Kane began, his voice low but unyielding, “tell me exactly what happened tonight. I need to know everything, why Layla was in your bed and what led to it.”Liam looked directly at his Alpha, his own face twisting in frustration as he struggled to make sense of the events himself. “Alpha, I swear, I don’t know how she got here or why she came. I went to bed early, and the next thing I knew, I woke up to find her in my bed, looking just as confused as I was.”He shook his head, rubbing his forehead as he tried to recall any other details. “Layla seemed disoriented, like she’d been drugged or… enchanted, maybe. She kept saying she didn’t know how she got here either.”Kane’s brow furrowed, his mind racing as he processed Liam’s

Days passed, and Amelia watched, seething, as Kane’s affection for Layla only seemed to grow stronger.To her dismay, he had moved on from the recent misunderstanding without so much as a second thought.The incident that was meant to drive them apart seemed only to have drawn them closer.Kane’s protectiveness over Layla had turned into something undeniable, something warm and inviting, and every time Amelia saw them together, her heart twisted with rage.Kane and Layla’s flirtation grew with an effortless charm, a lightheartedness that infected the entire packhouse.They’d exchange glances across the dining hall, a playful spark flickering between them.Kane would catch her eye just before his meetings, winking in a way that made Layla’s cheeks flush a deep pink.It didn’t help that the entire pack was beginning to notice as well, whispers and knowing smiles spread among them as they sensed the deepening bond between their Alpha and the newcomer.One afternoon, as the sun filtered t

In the shadowed stillness of the forest just beyond the pack’s territory, Aiden dragged Zara’s lifeless body through the dense underbrush, his mind racing.Each step seemed to echo with the weight of his crime, yet his movements were methodical, almost detached.He knew he had no choice now but to hide what he’d done.Panic would only make him careless, and he couldn’t afford that.He stopped at a secluded spot by a thick tangle of bushes, where the trees crowded together so tightly that they blocked the moonlight.The forest was steeped in shadows as Aiden knelt beside Zara’s lifeless body, his breathing quick and ragged.Every sound, the distant rustle of leaves, the hoot of an owl, felt amplified, pricking at his heightened senses.His hands shook as he looked down at her, face frozen in shock and betrayal, her once vibrant eyes now empty.What had begun as an argument, fueled by jealousy and anger, had spiraled out of control faster than he could have imagined.He hadn’t meant to

Two months had passed since that night of intimacy, but the connection between Kane and Layla felt as new and electric as if it had only just happened.This particular morning, they were sitting in the pack’s sun dappled garden, where the air was fresh and tinged with the scent of lavender and rosemary.Kane had chosen this spot intentionally, knowing Layla loved the wildflowers that grew in the garden’s hidden corners, blooming in colors as vibrant as her spirit.As they strolled through the rows of blooms, Kane plucked a deep red rose and presented it to her with a flourish, his eyes sparkling. “For the lady who somehow makes even roses jealous,” he teased, watching the faint blush rise on her cheeks.Layla laughed, playfully taking the rose. “Are you always this smooth, Alpha King?” She raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile lighting up her face.“Only for you,” he replied, his voice a low murmur as he leaned in close, his hand brushing her hair aside to tuck the rose behind her ea

As Layla moved through the garden, her mind still reeling with the suspicion that she might be carrying Kane’s child, she couldn’t shake a strange sense of vulnerability.The weight of her secret made her feel both exhilarated and anxious, and she wanted nothing more than to find Kane, to feel the security of his arms and share her thoughts. But as her eyes scanned the clearing, she realized he was no longer there.The space was empty, the warmth of his presence vanished like a passing breeze.A quick look around revealed his Beta, Liam, speaking with a group of warriors near the training grounds.She sighed, feeling a small pang of disappointment.Kane must have been summoned for something urgent.Steeling herself, Layla turned back toward the side entrance of the packhouse.The hallway was silent, lined with shadows that seemed to stretch longer than usual. Just as she stepped over the threshold, a slight sound, almost imperceptible, caught her attention.She froze, a shiver of unea

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
