บททั้งหมดของ The Rejected Alpha Queen: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Leo’s POVThe bright sun rays in my office cast long shadows across the walls, the air thick with the scent of aged whiskey and burning wood from the fireplace. I leaned back in my leather chair, my fingers lazily drumming against the polished oak desk as Mr. Bloodmoon sat across from me, looking as smug as ever.I studied him, my lips curling into a smirk. "So tell me," I began, swirling the whiskey in my glass. "Why exactly didn’t you attend the meeting at the White House? You do realize the other Alphas will find it suspicious?"Mr. Bloodmoon exhaled slowly, adjusting the cuff of his sleeve like the question bored him. “I have better things to do, Leo,” he said smoothly.I chuckled darkly. “Better things? Like what? Plotting behind the council’s back? Playing puppet master while your son blindly follows your orders?" I leaned forward, my amusement never faltering. "What do you think Keiran will do when he finds out the truth? That his own father is the villain in this entire mes

Ronan's POV I pulled into the driveway, cut the engine, and stepped out of my car. The cool night air did little to clear my mind as I made my way toward the house. My thoughts were still tangled with everything I had learned from today’s meeting.There was too much at stake.The house was quiet, the kind of silence that felt unnatural, like it was waiting for something to happen. I ascended the stairs, each step measured, my mind still working through the implications of what was coming.Stopping in front of Selene’s door, I knocked.“Come in,” she called.I pushed the door open and found her sitting on the bed, a thick, ancient-looking book resting on her lap. She barely glanced up as I entered, too focused on whatever she was reading.“What book is that?” I asked, crossing my arms as I leaned against the doorframe.She flipped a page before answering. “An old text your mother gave me to study.” Her eyes lifted to meet mine, a hint of confusion in them. “I don’t know why.”I f

Ronan’s POVThe air was thick with tension as the young alphas began arriving one by one, their footsteps echoing in the grand meeting hall of my estate. I stood at the head of the room, my hands clasped behind my back, eyes scanning each new arrival. Today wasn’t just another discussion about rogue attacks or territory disputes, this was bigger.Some of them had no idea what was coming.Others suspected.Either way, this meeting would change everything.I kept my expression neutral as Elias strolled in first, his ever-present smirk in place. He nodded at me before his gaze flickered to Selene, who sat quietly at the far end of the table. She had barely touched her food from earlier, and I could sense the unease rolling off her in waves.Good. She needed to be alert.The door opened again, and in walked Luka.I straightened, my posture rigid. Unlike Elias, Luka didn’t bother with pleasantries. He was one of the few alphas who made it clear he didn’t trust me, and I wasn’t parti

Selene’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the flickering candlelight on the nightstand. My fingers curled around the edge of the blanket as I tried to steady my thoughts. How could this be happening? How could a rejected Luna, an exiled woman like me, be the one destined to fulfill a prophecy?The weight of it all pressed down on me, suffocating and relentless. I had spent years believing I was nothing—cast aside, unworthy, broken. And now, I was supposed to be the chosen one? The thought was laughable.A sudden knock on my door pulled me from my spiraling thoughts. My heart lurched in my chest. Who would visit me this late? Taking a deep breath, I rose from the bed and walked over, hesitating only for a moment before opening the door.Ronan stood there, his tall frame blocking the dim hallway light. His dark eyes held something unreadable—concern, hesitation, maybe even regret. For a few beats, neither of us spoke. The silence stretched between us, thick with everything un

Selene’s POVA sharp chill crept down my spine, setting my nerves on edge.Something wasn’t right.I stood at the edge of the water, my wolf still on high alert. The sounds of the waterfall dulled as I focused on the eerie stillness of the forest around us.Ronan changed to his wolf form and stood nearby, oblivious to the creeping danger."Ronan." My voice slipped into our mental link, my tone edged with unease. "We’re not alone."His ears twitched, his golden eyes scanning the trees. For a moment, everything was silent.Then, rustling.The dry leaves shifted unnaturally, and before I could react, two figures stepped out from behind the trees.They were tall and broad-shouldered, their bare arms corded with muscle. Their eyes gleamed with amusement, but beneath that, there was something else, something predatory.One of them chuckled, cracking his knuckles. “Well, well. Look what we have here.”The other man smirked, his gaze flickering between Ronan and me. “Two little wolves, all al
