Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Chapter 196

Lucian sat alone in the garden of his estate, staring at the moonlit sky.

His fingers tapped against the armrest of the stone bench, a restless rhythm that mirrored his racing thoughts.

The scent of damp earth filled the air, but he was too deep in contemplation to notice.

*I’ve won over so many alphas. The Alpha King favors me.

The Moon Goddess wouldn’t have allowed me to come this far if I weren’t meant for the seat.

The path should be clear... but Mona, she’s the problem.*

His jaw tightened at the mere thought of her.

*Mona is reckless, but she’s not stupid. She knows how to play this game. If I underestimate her, I’ll regret it.* Lucian thought to himself.

Frustration burned in his chest as he stood up and began pacing, his boots crushing the fallen leaves beneath him.

"I need to be careful. Every move I make from now on has to be precise.

If I fail, it won’t just be my loss, it’ll be my destruction." Lucian muttered those words to himself under his breath.

The sound of hurried footsteps snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned sharply to see one of his guards approaching, his breathing slightly uneven.

"Boss, you have a parcel," the guard announced, stopping a few feet away.

Lucian’s eyes narrowed. His entire body tensed.

"Who sent it?" he asked, his voice calm but laced with suspicion.

"I... I don’t know, sir," the guard stammered, shifting uneasily. "I found it near the entrance. Your name was on it."

Lucian’s fingers curled into fists. He had received messages before, threats, warnings, false alliances, but something about this unsettled him.

"Give it to me," he ordered.
