All Chapters of The Alpha Prince's Rejected Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The warm liquid splashes across my face, thick and metallic. Time slows to a cruel crawl as my brother's blood paints my skin crimson. My emerald silk gown – the one he'd teased me about just hours ago – drinks in his blood. I want to scream, to tear the world apart with my voice, to wrench my body into action, but horror has turned my muscles to stone. The late afternoon sun beats down mercilessly, making the bloodshed before me all too vivid.I can only watch, trapped in this moment, as the rogue plunges his blade into my brother again and again. The silver ceremonial crown we'd placed on his head this morning falls into the trampled grass, disappearing among the wildflowers we'd decorated the field with for the ceremony. The metal catches the sunlight one last time before vanishing, like a cruel wink from fate. My whole body trembles, fine tremors building into violent shakes as reality crashes through my shock.A piercing scream cuts through the chaos – maybe my own, I can't tell

JAXMy gaze lingers on the heavy oak doorway where Aubrey just left, a cold smile playing on my lips as the echo of her footsteps fades down the corridor. I return to my seat behind my desk, the leather chair creaking beneath me, and Avery takes her place back on my lap, the silk of her dress rustling as she pushes it up until her bare core meets my dick. Sly witch. I smirk at her boldness, the familiar heat of her body igniting my own.Her delicate fingers thread through my hair, nails scraping lightly against my scalp. "The poor girl adores you, worships you because she believes you're her savior," she says, her meek voice filling the sunlit office as she slowly grinds her waist against my hardening length. Every movement sends sparks of pleasure through me, my dick pulsing in response."Aren't I?" I ask, sliding my hands beneath the bunched fabric of her dress, savoring the smooth warmth of her thighs as I expose them to my hungry gaze."You are... but we both know how that was pos

KNOXI glare at my mate, my mind struggling to accept that she's the one from that fateful night. The conversation with Noah from a few minutes ago echoes in my thoughts a stark reminder of how quickly life can change. Just hours ago, I'd returned from the royal elite warrior camp, completely unaware my world was about to be turned upside down.A few minutes ago...The castle gates loom before me, their ancient iron wrought into intricate designs that cast dancing shadows across the cobblestone path. My polished black boots click against the stone with each step, the sound mixing with the gentle morning breeze that carries the scent of home. The late morning sun bathes the courtyard in a golden glow, catching on the elaborate gold embroidery adorning my fitted navy blue military jacket. Each thread had been carefully sewn to denote my royal status, though the jacket now bears the welcome wear of intense training.I inhale deeply, letting the familiar scents wash over me - the sweet pe

I drop onto my bed with a heavy sigh, sinking into the plush mattress as my eyes trace the intricate crown molding on the ceiling. The evening shadows dance across the walls, matching the chaos in my mind as I wrestle with the impossible revelation that Prince Knox - my target - is my fated mate. My fingers absently twist the silver pendant at my throat, a nervous habit I've never been able to break."You're acting like finding your mate is the end of the world," Aria's voice cuts through my thoughts, sharp with disbelief.I mentally roll my eyes, frustration building in my chest at her willful ignorance. "In case you've forgotten, we're here on Jax's orders. Having Knox as a mate doesn't just complicate the mission - it could destroy everything.""By the Moon's blood, not everything is about Jax!" Aria's voice rises with unmistakable anger. "Face it - you're freaking out about this fucking mission because you've got feelings for him. That's it. That's the only reason." The words hit

KNOXI storm into my quarters, slamming the door hard enough to rattle the ancient wood. My blood boils at my father's latest demand. He can't be fucking serious."Oh, but he is," my wolf rumbles, smug satisfaction dripping from every word. "And I agree with him completely. Audrey should move into our quarters. The sooner, the better."If I could manifest this bastard part of myself right now, I'd punch him in his fucking face."You just want to fuck her," I accuse."No... Yes." A pause. *"Both."I can't help but let out a dark chuckle at his honesty.
