9.3CompletedRejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha King
Three recurring visions show Elara a future of pregnancy loss, contempt and abandonment with Vance. Taking them as a warning, she rejects the mate bond when he publicly offers to accept her as a lesser choice. She leaves for the Royal City’s Luna Selection. Repeated golden eyes and a voice in those visions suggest another connection, but its meaning and the king’s knowledge remain unexplained.
