His Rejected Queen Chapter 88.:
“Repeat that to me?” Daniel rose from his chair with such agility that the chair fell to the ground, leaving an echo throughout the room. “Marcus has crossed our borders with about ten thousand of his men. He’s heading straight for the capital. Apparently, they’ve passed all the other cities by now as if they didn’t care about anything else,” Trenton reported to his king once more. It made no sense. According to Atalante, Marcus should not be able to return for several months, or at least several weeks. Still, less than two weeks had passed, and he was back in Edeirland, and what’s more, he had his army with him. Daniel knew this won’t end well. Marcus had quite half of the army with him. Although that number was only about half of their army, it was still enough. Daniel was not ready for open war. He did not expect Marcus to go to open war. Either he had to go against his advisers, or the ministers believed in their victory enough to want to heal themselves in Edeirland. “How many
His Rejected Queen Chapter 1.:
An Imperial city, the capital of the Allus Sierra kingdom. The place where the Lycan king lives, in his castle in the middle of the city. The last living heir of the Lycan bloodline. Ariana has lived in the capital since she was born. Her family owns a small house in the middle of the street leading from the castle, close to downtown. Just down the street from the main square, where you can buy the sweetest cakes and the most delicious meat altogether. She saw the procession many times, as families in the capital sent their daughters as offerings to the Lycan king, hoping he would choose a queen from among them. For the past years, all the girls had been unsuccessful in their tries. Some with tears, some with anger and resentment towards the Lycan king, but neither of them had ever chosen to be his soulmate, his only queen. How many times did Ariana imagine herself being in their place? Sitting in one of those carriages, on her way up to that castle where the strongest ruler sat on
His Rejected Queen Chapter 2.:
Ariana looks around, searching for the alluring scent which hits her nose. She can’t decipher where it comes from. The sweetest scent she had ever smelled in her life caught her entire attention. “What’s wrong?” Her father asks her, watching his restless daughter abruptly scanning the entire hall. She searches for something, yet he can’t say what it is. “Nothing.” She replies to him, pretending everything is alright. Ariana couldn’t focus as the sweet scent filled her nostrils, but she couldn’t bring the matter to her parents. They would take her back home right away. Ariana understands the meaning of the scent. Her mate should be somewhere in the room. She wasn’t expecting to meet him at the ball, especially since she hoped to meet the Lycan king and become his potential mate, but it didn’t matter anymore. Her mate is there as well. Ariana almost instantly forgets about the Lycan king and focuses on the sweet, woody scent which fills the entire room and restricts her from thinking
His Rejected Queen Chapter 3.:
“Marcus. Call me Marcus.” He is telling her. Ariana giggles. She forgets his name. Among the girls, they were always calling him a Lycan king or his highness. No commoner would ever call the king by his given name, yet he gave her the privilege. “Marcus.” She repeats his name. The sound of his name tingles her on the tip of her tongue, which makes her giggle even more. He likes the sound of the bells when she smiles, but he said nothing to praise it. Instead, he picks her up bridal style and carries her through the garden into the castle. No one stops them. No one is looking for them in the hallway or in the garden. They just vanished from the evening with no one noticing. Marcus brings Ariana to one of the many bedrooms in the castle. Away from the dance hall, away from everyone. It is just the two of them. “Can you turn off the light?” Ariana asked him shyly. She hadn’t been with a man before, and although she partly knew what to expect, she wasn’t entirely prepared for what was g
His Rejected Queen Chapter 4.:
Ariana puts on the best clothes she finds in her wardrobe. Her choice differs from what she wore yesterday during the ball. “Where are you going dressed up like that?” Daria asks, seeing her daughter put on the girlish dress which she has in her wardrobe but until today, never wore it. Over her shoulders, she puts a simple silky cloak just to keep the wind away from her skin. Although, as a werewolf, she can’t feel the cold, the wind isn’t always likable. “Back to the castle. I want to talk to Marcus,” Ariana replies with resolution. Her mother blinks several times, unable to process the words her daughter just said. “Who is Marcus?” Daria asked immediately. She knows Ariana spent the night with the Lycan king, the ruler of the country. Not with some Marcus. It takes a minute for Daria to realize Marcus is the Lycan king’s given name. “The King. He told me yesterday to call him by his name. We are mates.” Ariana speaks with such resolution, leaving her mother in utter shock. Aria
His Rejected Queen Chapter 5.:
“Let her come in.” The steward suddenly appeared by the gate, ordering the two guards to let Ariana enter. She had tears in her eyes from fighting the guards. First, she had to argue with her mother and then these two stopped her from visiting her mate. “Thank you,” she slightly bowed her head to the steward, expressing her gratitude. He replies to her in a similar gesture before he leads her into the castle. His steps slowly lead Ariana to the throne room, which Marcus uses to accept visitors, if there are any. Upon entering the room, Ariana sees the Lycan king sitting high on his throne, staring coldly at the daring girl in front of his eyes. “What brings you back? The ball finished yesterday, and the gates of the castle are closed to the commoners during the year.” The tone in his voice explains almost everything. In particular, the word “commoners” rings in Ariana’s ears like bells on the highest tower in the capital, which always announced the danger when there were attackers o
His Rejected Queen Chapter 6.:
Ariana’s parents worry sick of their daughter. Since she has returned from the castle, Ariana refuses to eat. For the past few days, she has stayed in her room, locked, refusing to even meet with her best friend. Her father came to ask her to let him in several times, yet he heard nothing but silence coming from his daughter’s room. When he listened carefully, he could hear silent sobs, assuring him of his daughter’s presence. Her tears and silent sobs break his heart, but there is nothing he can do to help her. Ariana must go through this alone, but once the pain from the rejection passes, she will feel better. Peter was sure about it. “How is she?” Daria asks her husband as he joins her in the kitchen after another unsuccessful attempt to speak to his daughter. Peter shrugs, desperate to help his only child. “As long as she is alive, it will pass,” Daria assures him upon seeing his long face. Peter was always worried about his daughter. It was one of his best qualities as a father
His Rejected Queen Chapter 7.:
The change in her image allowed Ariana to start anew after she learned the lesson of her life. She not only cut her hair short, changed her wardrobe, but she also worked on her personality. The way the Lycan king treated her opened her eyes to the vast world of rudeness and trickery which she hadn’t seen before. Several weeks had passed and Ariana forgot about her broken heart, immersing herself in the activities of her daily life. “How was your day?” Daria asks the moment her daughter joins her in the kitchen. Daria came from the castle earlier today. The family from her husband’s side should arrive later in the evening. Daria wants to make sure they feel welcome and warm after a long journey. Peter’s family lived far away on the northern border of their country. “Good. There wasn’t much work, so my boss let me go home earlier. Do you need my help with anything?” Ariana offers to assist her mother, although her mother handles everything perfectly. Years of experience of working in a
