Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Two
Torrin’s POVI nod my head and watch as Alpha Zaine carries Sophia into the guest room and lays her gently on the bed. He stands over her for a few seconds, just looking at her. after bending down to give her a kiss on her forehead he pulls the duvet up to her chin then grabs a pair of bottoms from one of the drawers.I mind link Mrs Crook to let her know the jig is up and she needs to get herself out here to head off the beast before he comes banging her door down looking for answers. I knew we should have told him everything sooner. This is going to go down like a lead balloon. Keeping our secret would have been easy if she was fated to anyone but him, and our deception is not going to win us any favours with Zaine.“Mrs Crook will be here in just a moment Alpha. We should take this into your office, so she doesn’t overhear.” I look over his shoulder at the sleeping princess, then back to him. I can feel the tension radiating off him and even my wolf chooses to remain quiet in my he
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Three
Luca’s POV I listen in disbelief as Torrin and Mrs Crook blow my happy, peaceful existence apart piece by piece. “Princess?” George chokes on the one word that is also stuck in my head. I remember when that night, when they all arrived. It was the women first, Mrs Crook, Genevieve and Sophia. They were soaking wet, covered head to toe in mud and their arms torn and grazed by the branches of the trees they had run through. Torrin and Sebastian came ambling towards the group of us who had gathered to help the women and find out what had happened. When it was just them, we thought perhaps they had fled their pack to escape abuse, but on closer inspection, the clothes they wore had been through the wars, but they were not the clothes you see an omega dressed in. Torrin and Sebastian shifted back to their human forms as they approached, I only saw their wolves for a split second, and until now I thought I had been seeing things, I was tired from a long shift on patrol and the pissing d
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Four
Zaine’s POV “Alpha. The Luna is awake.” Torrin’s voice echoes in my head. I have only made it about half way to the southern border but my wolf puts on his breaks and all four paws dig into the dirt as we come skidding to a halt.“Is she okay?” I ask. I know I should be with her after what happened. I hurt her then left. I was hoping she would sleep long enough for me to at least deal with one of the two threats hanging over our head.My wolf wants to hunt. He reasons that the blue fuck hiding in the forest means she can never be completely safe on our land. The guards and Torrin have despatched his rogues within minutes of them crossing the border, but now that Sophia has her wolf Blue Blade is only going to step up his campaign. That is what I would do in his shoes.I want to kill him too. I want to see him laying at my wolf’s feet in a mangled and tattered mess. Not only for Sophia, although she is now the force that drives me, but for the men and women we have lost to this previo
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Five
Sophia’s POV When Hattie woke me up to give me a hot chocolate then leave without saying a word, I was still half asleep and not sure what was going on or where I was. The last thing I remembered was being in pain with his beast stuck inside me, more pain when he pulled it out, then pleasure that completely took me over. I couldn’t breathe, my legs shook and stiffened and moved independently of my mind then I saw white.Now I’m back in the visitor suite with Beta Luca, Torrin, and Mrs Crook hovering around outside the door which has been left ajar. Nobody has said anything to me, but the worried looks on their faces and constant whispers and glances in my direction can’t be good. Mrs Crook never shows her concerns, she is the one who maintains calm and has always made me feel safe, even when I knew I wasn’t, not really.When I asked where Zaine was, Torrin said he had gone for a run but is on his way back. Did I disappoint him? I’m sure those other women could handle their Alpha, the
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Six
Torrin’s POV“Welcome back Abe.” My welcome is met with a grunt and nod of his head. He looks tired and battered from his five day run through the mountains. We won’t be getting anything more than out of him until he has had a rest and got some warm food in his gut.I have missed the sullen fuck since Zaine sent him out again, and hadn’t expected his return until spring at the earliest. When he announced his arrival as he came back onto pack land, the lead weight in my gut lightened ever so slightly. Whatever we are facing from the Blue Bastard to the south, as Luca has taken to calling him, and Blue Moon to the north, it will be easier to hold our own and maybe even come out on top with Abernathy on our side.He and I are the pack’s oddballs. We are both not born of this pack and found ourselves thrown together by a rolling ball of circumstances neither one of us could avoid. We both prefer solitude and to work alone, but surprisingly to both of us, we work well as a team.Don’t get
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Seven
Abernathy’s POV This shit storm sure crept up on me. How have eighteen years flown by so quickly? Torrin has no idea how much I know, or what plans and redundancies have been playing out around him unseen. Alpha Theo and King Sebastian left nothing to chance when it came to the princess and her future. I’m not sure how much he has learned about my past or how I came to be Beta of Scarlet Moon all those years ago, but now that one secret is out, I doubt it will be long before all my shit is laid bare. I wanted to tell him back then, after seeing him suffer so much loss I wanted to tell him he was not alone and that I knew the pain he lived with day in, day out. Theo swore me to secrecy the day he told me who our new pack members were, and insisted I teach Torrin everything I know. I couldn’t tell him who I was, where I came from or that I knew anything about him and his past. It was hard at first, but as I got to know Torrin I could see a bit of myself in there and knew how to reach
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Eight
Zaine’s POV “I know it’s a shock. Tell me what you’re thinking sweetheart. How can I help you deal with this?” her silence is scaring the shit out of me. I thought she would scream, or cry, or laugh. Any reaction would be better than this. Even the continousl hum of our bond seems to have frozen, which sends a chill down my spine.“Come on. Let’s get you dried off.” I talk to her as soothingly as I can manage, even though I don’t expect a response. When I look into her eyes, the lights are on but nobody’s home. Her hand is cold in mine as I wrap her in a towel and lead her into the bedroom. Is this what actual, physical shock looks like?“This doesn’t change anything Sophia. You are still mine and I am yours.” I reassure myself as much as her. “If you don’t want to act on this, then we won’t… but your wolf might feel differently when she is unbound, and I want you to be prepared for that. Sweetheart, please say something.” My nerves are shot to pieces. It feels like I’m losing her. H
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Twenty-Nine
Mrs Crook’s POVI was there when Sophia came into the world. She was calm and peaceful, a gift from the goddess herself. Genevieve laughed and told me I was overwhelmed with emotion when I told her the princess arrived swaddled in celestial light, but I know what I saw with my own eyes. The Goddess has plans for this little one, that much has been obvious from the very beginning.I have never been blessed with pups of my own, not for lack of trying. Jon and I prayed, pleaded and bargained with the goddess for many years, but our prayers went unanswered and eventually we accepted that it wasn’t in the goddess’ plan for us.Learning midwifery and herbal medicine from the small group of women in the town who practised the old ways, I made myself useful as a midwife of sorts. Those women opened my eyes to the gifts of nature all around us and I began to see life in a whole new light.Delivering pups gave me peace and a reason to wake up every morning. Supporting the mothers through one of
