The Rejected Alpha Queen/Sharon Smallwood
Selene’s POVThe hallway was dark as I made my way to Ronan’s room. The tension from earlier still clung to the air, as thick as the scent of rain before a storm. I hesitated outside his door, my knuckles hovering just above the wood before I finally knocked.A muffled voice came from inside. "Come in."I pushed the door open to find Ronan sitting at the edge of his bed, his elbows resting on his knees. His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, his hair slightly disheveled as though he’d been running his fingers through it for hours.His eyes flickered to me, but his usual intensity was subdued, clouded with something I couldn't quite place."You look like hell," I said lightly, closing the door behind me.Ronan huffed out a humorless laugh. "Funny. My father said the same thing earlier."I crossed my arms and leaned against the door. "Have you heard from Elias?"He exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face. "Not yet. But I know he’s gone to see the witch."A shiver ran down my spine. The w

Keiran’s POVDinner had just ended, and the dining hall was emptying out as everyone retreated to their own rooms. Nelly stood from her seat, her fingers gripping the edge of the table as if grounding herself. I watched her, noticing how she always seemed to shrink into herself whenever my father was present. But tonight, he was gone.It was the perfect time.I stood and moved toward her before she could escape. "Nelly," I said quietly, stopping just in front of her.She stiffened, her wary eyes meeting mine. "What do you want?"I glanced around, ensuring we were alone before responding. "I need to talk to you. In private."Her shoulders tensed, hesitation flickering in her expression. "I don’t—""It’s important," I cut in, my voice firm but not unkind. "Just hear me out."For a moment, she looked ready to bolt. But after a deep breath, she nodded. "Fine."I led her to the sitting room just off the main hall, closing the doors behind us. The fireplace crackled softly, casting warm sha

Selene's POV The darkness was suffocating. The air felt thick and heavy, pressing against my skin like an unseen force. My breath came in short gasps as I ran through an endless forest, my heart pounding so loudly it echoed in my ears.Something was chasing me.I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could hear its ragged breathing, the guttural growls that sent shivers down my spine. My legs burned, but I pushed forward, leaping over fallen branches and dodging trees that seemed to move on their own.A deep, menacing snarl erupted from behind me.I turned my head just enough to catch a glimpse of a massive shadow with glowing red eyes, its hulking form moving unnaturally fast. My stomach twisted in fear.I wasn’t going to make it.Suddenly, the ground beneath me shifted. My foot caught on something, and I crashed forward, my hands scraping against the rough earth. I barely had time to push myself up before the beast was upon me.A powerful force slammed into my back, pinning me down. Hot b

Selene's POV The air was thick with tension as I entered the dimly lit sitting room where Luka waited. The flickering candlelight cast shifting shadows on the walls, but it was his presence that made the atmosphere heavy. His dark eyes met mine, unreadable yet unwavering.Ronan lingered just beyond the doorway, his energy a silent warning. I knew he wouldn’t hesitate to step in if things went sideways.Luka’s lips curved into a knowing smirk. "I assume you won’t be sitting down?"I crossed my arms. "I don’t intend to be here long."He chuckled, but there was no humor in it. "Always so guarded, Selene. Do you really think I came all this way just to play games?""You tell me," I shot back.His expression sobered. "I came because I need your help. And whether you like it or not, you need mine too."I narrowed my eyes. "That remains to be seen."Luka exhaled, leaning forward, his fingers steepled together. "My clan has suffered ten abnormal deaths in the past month. And several more hav

Selene's POV The night air was cool as Ronan and I walked back to the house in silence. The weight of our conversation with Luka still clung to me like a second skin. The revelations about the mysterious deaths, the disappearances, and the unnatural transformations had left me unsettled. Even now, my instincts screamed at me not to trust him. As we stepped inside, Ronan shut the door behind us and let out a heavy sigh. "That went better than I expected," he muttered. I shot him a skeptical look. "Better? We just agreed to an alliance with the most unpredictable alpha we know." Ronan ran a hand through his hair. "I know, but he’s right about one thing. This isn’t just his problem. It’s happening everywhere, Selene." I frowned. "What do you mean?" He hesitated before answering. "Strange things have been happening in this clan. My scouts have reported missing wolves too, though not as many as Luka claims. There have also been… unusual kills." A chill ran down my spine. "Unusual

Keiran's POV I took Nelly’s hand as we descended the stairs, my grip firm but not forceful. She had been unusually quiet since last night, and I knew she was still processing everything I had told her. I wanted to give her space, but at the same time, I couldn’t let her pull away from me completely.Halfway down, I spotted my father standing at the base of the staircase, his sharp gaze locking onto us immediately. My spine straightened instinctively. Magnus Blackwood wasn’t a man to ignore suspicion, and I could see the question forming in his mind before he even spoke."Where are you going?" His voice was calm, but there was an edge to it. A warning."Out," I said evenly, keeping my expression neutral.His eyes flicked from me to Nelly, then back again. "Out where?"I forced a casual shrug. "Just for a drive. Needed some air."I could feel Nelly stiffen beside me. I hadn’t told her what I planned yet, but she was smart enough to know I was keeping something from my father. And so wa

Luka's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, rolling a glass of whiskey between my fingers, watching the amber liquid swirl under the dim lighting of my room. The night air seeped in through the slightly open window, but the chill did nothing to cool the anger that simmered beneath my skin. My mind was restless, torn between the impending alpha meeting and the chaos creeping into my territory.A sharp knock on my door made my jaw tighten. Before I could respond, the door creaked open, and I didn't need to turn to know who it was.Lawrence.I let out a slow breath, setting my drink aside as he stepped into the room. His presence was unwelcome, as always, yet he carried himself with the same air of importance that grated on my nerves."What do you want?" I asked flatly, not bothering to mask my irritation.Lawrence shut the door behind him, his gaze unwavering. "Is that any way to greet your guest?"I scoffed, finally turning to face him. "Guest? You lost the right to call yourself that the

Nelly’s POVThe car ride was suffocating.As Keiran drove through the streets, my body tensed at the sight of familiar buildings, each one a marker of a painful past I had fought to bury. My breath hitched when we passed an old warehouse, one of the many places where I had been held captive. The memories clawed at me, demanding to be felt, but I forced them down.Not now. Not when I needed to keep my head clear.Keiran must have sensed my distress because his hand reached over, brushing against mine. His warmth was grounding, a silent anchor in the storm brewing inside me."You okay?" His voice was soft yet firm like he was ready to pull over the second I said no.I swallowed hard, forcing a small nod. “Yeah. Just… memories.”Keiran didn’t push. He just gave my hand a small squeeze before returning it to the wheel. That simple gesture meant more than I could express.The car slowed, and I snapped out of my thoughts, looking up at the massive structure before us. A brothel.My stomach

Leo’s POVKeiran’s father sat behind his desk, the deep frown on his face making the lines on his forehead more pronounced. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the armrest of his chair, a clear indication that something was bothering him. I leaned casually against the wall, watching him with mild amusement.“You look like hell,” I remarked, crossing my arms over my chest. “What’s got you so worked up?”His eyes snapped to mine, sharp and calculating, but there was an undeniable hint of frustration behind them. “It’s Keiran,” he muttered. “He’s too damn soft.”I raised a brow. “Soft?” That was an interesting choice of words for someone like Keiran. “What do you mean?”“He’s been treating that pet of his—Nelly—like she’s something more than a mere possession,” he sneered. “I bought that girl to be broken, not cherished. And yet, he refuses to do what’s necessary.”A smirk curled at my lips. So that was the problem. Keiran, ever the loyal son, was apparently growing attached to his l

I led my sentinels through the dense woods, my senses on high alert. The moon cast long shadows over the towering trees, the night air thick with the scent of damp earth and pine. We had been patrolling for over an hour, but something felt off. A tension lingered in the air, an unsettling silence broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves."Stay sharp," I murmured, scanning our surroundings. My sentinels nodded, gripping their weapons as they moved in formation beside me.Suddenly, a stench assaulted my nostrils—metallic and pungent. Blood. I raised a hand, signaling my men to halt. My heart pounded as I followed the scent deeper into the woods.Then we saw it.A body lay sprawled across the forest floor, lifeless eyes staring into the void. Strange symbols were carved into its flesh, glowing faintly under the moonlight. The markings were unlike anything I had ever seen before, intricate and deliberate, as though they held some dark meaning. My stomach twisted."What the hell is
