All Chapters of Rejected Luna: Royal blood : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

(Emily's POV) I stopped, waiting as he closed the distance between us. My heart pounded in my chest, not from fear, but from the intense curiosity and confusion that his presence always seemed to stir within me. “Alpha Rollins,” I greeted him, my voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside me. “Is something wrong?” He stopped a few feet away, his eyes fixed on mine. There was an intensity in his gaze that made it hard to look away, as if he was searching for something—answers, maybe, or understanding. “No,” he replied after a moment, though his tone was heavy, laden with unspoken thoughts. “Nothing is wrong, exactly. I just… I needed a break from the crowd.” I nodded, understanding all too well. “It’s a big night. A lot of pressure.” He let out a humorless chuckle. “That’s one way to put it.” For a moment, we just stood there in silence, the tension between us thickening with every passing second. I wasn’t sure what to say, or if I should say anything at all. T

Mia’s expression softened, and she guided me over to the couch, sitting down beside me. “You don’t have to figure everything out right now,” she said gently. “Just take it one day at a time. And remember, I’m here for you. No matter what happens, you’re not alone.”Her words offered a small flicker of comfort, but the despair still lingered, a heavy weight that refused to lift. I leaned back against the couch, closing my eyes as I tried to steady my breathing. “Thank you, Mia,” I whispered, grateful for her support even if I couldn’t fully accept it right now.She stayed with me for a while, talking softly about anything and everything to distract me from my thoughts. It helped, at least a little, to have someone there who cared. But as the night wore on and Mia eventually left, promising to check on me the next day, I was once again left alone with my thoughts. The days that followed were a blur of whispered conversations and stolen glances. The humiliat

After breakfast, I found myself standing outside the Alpha's quarters, my heart pounding in my chest. The events of the morning had left me on edge, and now, as I waited for Rollins, the tension coiled tighter inside me. I couldn't stop replaying his words in my mind, wondering what he could possibly want to discuss. The door opened, and Rollins stepped out, his expression unreadable. He motioned for me to follow him without a word, and I trailed behind as he led me through the hallways of the pack house. The silence between us was thick, heavy with unsaid questions. Finally, we reached a small, private room, and he gestured for me to enter. The room was well furnished, with a large wooden desk, a few chairs, and a single window that let in the soft morning light. Rollins closed the door behind us, and the sound of it clicking shut echoed in the quiet space. He stood across from me, his gaze piercing as he studied me, and I couldn't help but feel exposed under his scrutiny. After

Author's POVIn Ironclaw's stronghold, Rollins paced back and forth in his office, his brow furrowed in deep thought. The tension in the air was palpable, a reflection of the growing threat that lwas discovered over the pack. Liam stood by the large wooden table, maps and strategic plans spread out before him. Both men were aware of the danger posed by the increasing number of rogue attacks that had been a treat to their territory."We can’t keep ignoring this problem, Liam," Rollins said, his voice laced with frustration. "The rogues are getting bolder. They’re testing our borders, striking at our weakest points. It’s only a matter of time before they do something more... organized."Liam nodded, his expression grim. "I agree. We need to fortify the defenses along the eastern and northern borders. The patrols need to be doubled, and we should consider bringing in reinforcements from allied packs."Rollins stopped pacing and leaned over the table, his eyes scanning the maps. "We also

Emily's POV I woke slowly, my body feeling heavy as if I had been submerged in water. The first thing I noticed was the warmth a comforting sensation that wrapped around me like a blanket. My eyelids fluttered open, and I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. Where was I? As my mind began to clear, memories came flooding back, the rogues, the fear, the struggle. Panic rose in my chest, but it was quickly soothed by the presence I felt beside me. I turned my head slightly and saw Alpha Rollins sitting close, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. “Emily,” he said softly, his deep voice grounding me. I blinked, trying to make sense of everything. “Alpha Rollins… What happened?” My voice was hoarse, thick with confusion and the remnants of fear. He leaned in slightly, his expression a mix of concern and something I couldn’t quite place. “You were taken by the rogues,” he explained gently. “I found you and brought you back. You’re safe now.
