Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 41: SUSPICIOUS
—Killian— I sit at the head of the table, trying to concentrate on this board meeting but it's impossible. I may be here in London but my heart and mind are over in New York with Lena. I never should have left but I've let the business fall behind lately and there's only so much that Nikki can handle and plus most of the pack depends on our company so I have to make sure it thrives. So that's why I'm sitting here listening to my board members talk about profit margins and expansions. Speaking of expansions, I'm sure they won't like it when I announce to them that our new branch opening in New York will now be our head office. I made this decision after I had to leave Lena again, the look on her face both times I'll never forget it. Tired of their incessant talk I decide it's time to end this meeting so I clear my throat loudly and the room goes silent. "Gentlemen and ladies as much as I would love to sit here all day and discuss our profit

—Lachlan— "Who are you? And what are you doing in my house?" A man who I'm presuming to be Iannis asks me. "Good morning Mr. Ar'Sanin my name is Lachlan Burrows the beta of quarry pack and I'm here to see you. I apologize for not calling before stopping by but the matter is urgent." Iannis is about to speak but his wife interrupts him. She walks up to him and slaps him. "How could you, Iannis? I thought we were finally over our dark days but then you go ahead and do this? I don't even know who you are anymore." She says with tears running down her face. Iannis turns to look at me with rage in his eyes. "What did you tell my wife?" I can feel the power emanating from him, this man could smite me down in a second. "I didn't…" Morana interrupts me. "He didn't tell me anything, he just asked questions and I figured it out myself. How could you Iannis? Feral shifters, you more than anybody knows how dangerous they are and why the magic was outl

—Kate— Ring Ring… The subscriber you are trying to call is not answering please try again later. Where the hell is he? "Lachlan Burrows, I'm starting to get worried now, I've been trying to reach you for days. Please call me back or I'll start jumping to conclusions that something is wrong. Please be ok, Will misses you and I miss you, please call me back as soon as you get this." Where could he possibly be? Oh Goddess please keep my husband safe. My phone alarm starts ringing. Fuck it's one o'clock I have to pick up Will from school. Gods this is a day from hell, I'm worried about Lachlan and on top of that Lena has decided not to show up to work today, she better have a good excuse, same with Eric. I walk out of my office and call out to Emma. "Emma, I'm leaving to pick Will from school. I won't be coming back to the office. I'll work at home today. So you can close up early." "Ok, that's fine Kate, I'll take care of things here."
Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 44: RUNNING BACK TO YOU
—Killian— I drive back to my house at record speed. As soon as I walk in, I head straight to my room and just start throwing clothes and toiletries into my box, I don't really care if I forget anything, whatever I don't take I can get when I arrive there. All that matters is that I get to Lena. I zip up the bag, sling it over my shoulder and sprint out of the house. I get into my car and back out of my driveway. I started driving to the airport and I called Nikki. "Nikki, have you called the pilot? Is he ready?" "Yes sir he's ready but there's a problem." "What problem?" "Well seeing as we were supposed to be in London for a week, the technicians decided to do their monthly maintenance on the jet. But I talked to them and told them this was an emergency so they said we would be able to take off in five hours." I slam my hands on the steering wheel. "Fuck! Nikki, that just won't do at all, I need to get to New York as soon as possi
Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 45: COLLECTIVE INFORMATION
—Lachlan— Immediately I left Iannis clan, I got in my car and started driving back to New York as fast as I could. It was a five hour drive so I really needed to step on it. I needed to relay this new information to Killian so that we could plot our next move and also to inform him about the council of alphas meeting. Then there's Lena. I needed to have a conversation with her about what happened on the night Killian rejected her and she lost her baby. I know it will be a painful memory to bring up, I mean she still hasn't even told Killian about it. But there might be no need if my suspicions are correct and Luna is their child. But I can't be sure until I talk to her. I'm three hours into my journey when I realize that in my attempt to find out who's behind the making of the drugs that I haven't called my wife. Fuck she's probably worried and definitely pissed. I reach over to the passenger seat and grab my phone. I turn it on but it does
Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 46: COLLECTIVE INFORMATION 2
—Killian— "It's Elijah." Lachlan tells me. I look up at him in shock and disbelief. "That's not possible, Elijah would never betray our pack, he's my sister's mate, they are about to get married. Are you seriously telling me that he would harm her on purpose?" Lachlan looks at me and he has a sad look in his eyes. "I'm sorry brother, but apart from Lochlan and Eamon he's the only one that all the evidence points to. You know I wouldn't mention his name unless I was sure." Lachlan has never lied to me before, but he might be wrong. "What evidence?" I ask him. "Remember our plan to have members of the council followed. Well the day I arrived, after I informed them of the drugs and that what I told them should not leave the room. That night Elijah disappeared for a few hours. I just thought that maybe he went for a run, but after Bertha and Iannis warned about someone close to us betraying us I had his phone tapped. And the day I came back h
Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 47: LIES AND CONFUSION
—Lena— The next day before we leave for Adriana's friend's cabin, I head into the office early in the morning to get some documents and leave instructions for my staff. I really don't know when we'll be back, we'll have to work remotely from the cabin. It's a good thing Killian got somebody to put up a signal jammer at the cabin so nobody can track us. I get to the office and Emma is already there waiting for me. "Oh, Emma, you're a lifesaver. Thank you so much for coming in so early." She smiles. "It's no problem Lena, I'll do anything to help." "Ok, let's go to my office and talk." We both walk into my office and take a seat. "So you're going to take on three of my cases, the rest I should be back before we have to go to court. Kate doesn't have any pending cases in court so the rest she'll meet with them over Skype. And another thing while we're gone you're in charge." I tell her. She looks at me in shock. "Are you serious Lena?"
Rejected Mate: The Persistent Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 48: A LEAP OF FAITH
—Lena— I get back to the house and Killian stops me as I'm about to head to my room. "Where have you been? I was worried sick." He tells me and I can see the fear in his eyes. "I had to go to the office to leave instructions for Emma, Kate was supposed to tell you." I tell him, trying to ease his fear. "She didn't, by the time I woke up, her, Lachlan and Will had left to go to their house to pack." I place my hand on his chest. "I'm sorry for worrying you, I should have told you where I was going. But I'm not the girl I was four years ago Killian, I can take care of myself." He takes in a deep breath and breathes out. "I know you can take care of yourself Lena, and I don't doubt that. But that doesn't mean that I'll stop worrying about you. You should probably pack we leave in an hour." He says and then walks away leaving me standing alone in the hallway. I know he's doing exactly what I said we should do and trying to be friends with
