Rejected and Claimed by her Alpha Triplets Chapter 239 - a monster

239

~Rowan’s POV

Kael grabbed my arm, trying to pull back. "Rowan! Control yourself! We need to think!"

I shook him off, snarling. "I can’t think, Kael! I can’t!"

Another crash ca from the hallway. A guard yelled, "Get back! She’s out of control!"

I felt the power inside rise even more. My wolf instincts, my Alpha instincts, took over. I growled, low and nacing, and my body trembled with energy I hadn’t felt before.

Kael looked at , eyes wide and scared. "Rowan... you’ve wolfed out."

"I know," I spat. "I can’t stop it. Not now. Not after what I just heard."

We listened. The palace was alive with chaos, footsteps, shouting, running. The guards were scrambling everywhere, and I could feel the fear in the walls themselves. My body ached to move, to run, to tear through whatever had caused this.

Kael grabbed my shoulder, steadying . "Rowan, listen. You need to get back to yourself. Control it. We can’t go out like this and deal with whatever’s happening."

I shook my head, teeth clenched. "No... I can’t. Not yet. I’ll lose it. I’ll..."

"If you go out like that," Kael said sharply, "you’ll freak everyone out. The guards, the maids... everyone. You’ll make it worse."

I took a deep breath, trying to force the wolf inside back. My body still trembled, heat running through my veins, my nails scraping against the floor. Slowly, the growl in my chest faded. My chest heaved, and I finally nodded. "Okay... I’m calm."

Kael studied , his hands still on my shoulders. "Good. Now tell , what exactly is going on? Where is Belinda?"

I clenched my jaw and shook my head. "Never... never say her na around again," I muttered. "I’ll tell you everything later. But not now."

Kael frowned but didn’t push further. "Fine. But we need to move. Whatever’s happening outside... we can’t ignore it."

I nodded, still trying to steady my heartbeat. Together, we stepped out into the main hall.

The mont we did, everything froze. The guards halted mid-step, their hands gripping their weapons. The maids stopped what they were carrying, their trays trembling slightly. They all turned to face us, bowing low.

"Alpha Rowan... Alpha Kael," the head maid said quickly, her voice shaking. "Greetings..."

Their faces were pale, eyes wide with fear. It wasn’t just respect, they were terrified. Sothing had happened, sothing big.

"What... what’s going on?" one of the younger maids asked, her voice trembling.

The head of the guards stepped forward, bowing deeper. His expression was serious, but there was an edge of worry I hadn’t seen before.

"Alpha Rowan... Alpha Kael..." he said, his voice steady but his hands fidgeting slightly. "Lisa... she escaped the prison."

I froze where I stood. The words hit like a punch to the stomach. I felt my knees weaken slightly, and my chest tightened. My mind imdiately flashed back to everything I had overheard, Fridolf and Belinda lying about Lisa, manipulating everyone, twisting the truth.

Anger flared in my chest, a sharp, hot burn. I clenched my fists at my sides, forcing the rage down. I had to keep my composure. I couldn’t let my anger control , not yet. Not when we needed a clear head.

Kael’s eyes were wide with disbelief. "What? How... how is that even possible?" he asked. His voice trembled slightly, a mix of shock and worry. "is she not locked up in her room?"

The head guard took a steadying breath. "Your Majesty, it seems... she changed. Into sothing... a monster. She broke free from the prison with strength and speed beyond what we’ve ever seen. She even hurt so of the guards stationed at the prison. She is still missing, and we don’t know where she went."

I felt a shiver run down my spine. My hands clenched tighter. "She... changed? A monster?" I muttered under my breath, still trying to process the words. The anger and fear inside twisted together.

I forced myself to inhale deeply, to steady my shaking hands. "Listen carefully," I said, my voice firr now, commanding. "She must be found. Whoever finds her... must not hurt her. Do you understand? She is not an enemy. She is not to be hard. If anyone lays a hand on her... they will answer to ."

The guards and maids all bowed lower, their heads almost touching the ground. "Yes, Alpha Rowan," the head guard said firmly. "We will follow your orders. No harm will co to her. We understand."

Kael’s hand rested briefly on my shoulder, steadying . "Are you sure?" he asked quietly, his eyes searching mine.

"I’m sure," I said.

The guards nodded again, murmuring their agreent among themselves. The maids whispered quietly to each other, still scared but relieved that the Alphas were in control.

I looked at Kael, my jaw tight. "We need to move quickly," I said, scanning the hall and the palace doors. "We have to find her before anyone else does. And we need to know what’s happening her. Sothing tells that she is not fine."

Kael’s eyes t mine, wide and uncertain. "She... a monster?" he asked quietly. "You an... really?"

I didn’t answer. Not yet. I just nodded toward the doors leading outside. My jaw was tight, my fists clenched. We needed to move. There was no ti for questions, not until we knew more.

As we stepped forward, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the hall. Another guard ca running, almost stumbling as he reached us. He dropped to a quick bow, his face pale and tense.

"Alpha Rowan... Alpha Kael," the guard said, catching his breath. "You need to know... Alpha Thorne from the neighboring pack is here. He’s brought so soldiers with him."

I stopped mid-step, my mind imdiately calculating. Thorne’s visit could not be a casual one, not with soldiers in tow. My pulse quickened.

"Thorne? Now?" I asked, my voice low but sharp.

The guard straightened slightly, eyes flicking between us. "Yes, Alpha Rowan. He said it’s urgent. He wouldn’t have co otherwise. He said the matter requires your imdiate attention."

Kael frowned, tension evident in his jaw. "Urgent? Right now?"

The guard nodded, bowing again. "Yes, Alpha Kael. He said it cannot wait. He wants to speak to both of you directly."

I ran a hand through my hair, my mind racing. Lisa was out there, sowhere, changed into... sothing. And now Thorne had arrived, declaring urgency.

"Very well," I said finally, my voice firm. "Send him in. But make sure the palace is secure first. And everyone stays calm."

The guard nodded, bowing once more before hurrying away to make the necessary arrangents.
