All Chapters of Rejected Not Forsaken: The Alpha King's Beloved: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Over the next few weeks, Aria steadily regained her strength.The care and dedication of the pack’s healer, combined with Rylan’s constant attention, ensured her swift recovery.Her cheeks, once pale and hollow, now carried a faint rosy hue.Her appetite returned gradually, and with it, her energy.Rylan was an ever present figure by her side, ensuring she ate enough, rested when she needed to, and refrained from overexerting herself.His protectiveness bordered on overwhelming at times, but Aria appreciated his efforts more than she could express.One sunny afternoon, Aria sat in the packhouse garden, a warm blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She cradled a mug of tea as Rylan joined her, his usual stoic demeanor softened.“You’re looking better,” he said with a small smile, settling into the chair next to her.“I feel better,” Aria replied, offering him a grateful smile. “Thanks to you.”Rylan shrugged, but the faintest hint of a blush colored his ears. “You’re stronger than you r

The next morning, Rylan sat in his study, reviewing reports from his council.The election was drawing nearer, and the pressure to finalize his candidacy was mounting.His advisors had begun to suggest alternative solutions, alliances through arranged pairings or even stepping aside to let a more “qualified” Alpha take his place.But Rylan wouldn’t back down.He knew what was at stake, not just for himself, but for his pack and the balance of power in the realm. And deep down, he believed Aria could be the key, not just to securing his place as Alpha King, but to something more profound.“Sir,” one of his guards interrupted his thoughts, “the council meeting is in an hour.”Rylan nodded absently, his thoughts still on Aria.He couldn’t force her to choose him, but he couldn’t help hoping she would.For her sake, for the baby’s, and perhaps for his own.As the day wore on, Aria found herself drawn to the garden, a place where she often went to think.The air was crisp, carrying the fai

The grand council chamber in the city bustled with tension as Alphas from across the werewolf territories assembled for the final round of discussions before the Alpha King election.The room was an architectural marvel, with high arches and intricate carvings depicting the legacy of the werewolf nation.Dominating the space was a circular table, symbolizing equality among the packs, though everyone knew hierarchy often overshadowed symbolism.Rylan entered the chamber with a steady stride, his emerald eyes sharp as they scanned the room.He could feel the weight of judgment before the meeting even began.Whispers had already spread about his announcement, the new Luna, her mysterious past, and most of all, her pregnancy.When the Alphas had settled, the eldest among them, a towering figure named Alpha Cedric, stood. His silver hair gleamed under the light, and his voice carried the authority of decades of leadership.“Alpha Rylan,” Cedric began, his tone neutral but firm, “we’ve hear

Liam paced the length of the grand hall, his boots clicking against the polished stone floor.The Beta of the once mighty Alpha King Kane had always been a man of calm resolve, but now his patience was wearing thin.Kane’s decline was no longer just about grief, it was a slow erosion of the pack’s very foundation.“Where is he now?” Liam asked one of the guards stationed outside the Alpha’s chambers.“Still inside, Beta,” the guard replied. “He hasn’t come out all day.”Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair.It had been the same pattern for months.Kane locked away in his chambers, emerging only to wander aimlessly or disappear into the forest for days on end. Each time he returned, he was more hollow, more distant.The spark that had once made him an unyielding leader was extinguished, leaving only a shadow of the man he used to be.Liam decided to try once more.Knocking on the heavy wooden door of Kane’s chambers, he waited for a response.When none came, he pushed it open c

After what felt like hours of chaos and emotions running high, Kane finally took a deep, shuddering breath.His hands fell to his sides as exhaustion began to take over.The mess around him was a reflection of the storm within, but he realized now that he couldn’t live like this anymore, not for himself, and not for his pack.“Liam,” Kane said hoarsely, his voice barely above a whisper. “Get someone to clean this up. I.. I can’t stay here tonight.”Liam nodded, his expression soft with understanding. “Of course, Alpha. I’ll take care of it immediately.”Kane glanced around the room one last time, his gaze lingering on the shattered glass and overturned furniture.His jaw tightened, and he closed his eyes briefly as if steeling himself. “I’ll rest in one of the guest chambers,” he added, his tone carrying a note of finality.Amelia stepped forward, her voice hesitant but calm. “I’ll make sure everything is handled properly, Kane. You should rest.”Kane didn’t respond to her directly. I
