#Chapter 34 Not sleeping. Not eating. Just hurting
Rachel POV
Camelot Records
"You're driving him crazy, you know that, right?"
I looked up, startled at the voice coming through the speakers into the recording booth. I was still working hard to finish all the tracks on the LP I had signed a contract to produce when I came under Camelot Records umbrella as an artist.
Dylan Roberts was alone in the control room; I wondered how long I had been lost in my music without a sound engineer present. I felt a flash of annoyance at his interference.
I needed to get my work done to honor my contract with his company. His status as Tyler's lifelong best friend should not interfere with our working relationship. I didn't want anyone thinking my contract with Camelot had come from having a connection to Tyler.
I'd worked my ass off to provide them with quality tracks. They were getting some of the best compositions I'd written in my life. I was insulted by the very idea peopl

Rachel POVRachel's Bedroom"Hello? Tyler?"I couldn't help the breathlessness I was experiencing as the phone line was answered. It felt as if there hadn't even been enough time for it to ring and suddenly there was the sound of someone else on the line.Breathing.How could I identify Tyler from the way he breathed alone?"Who else would be answering my phone at this hour?"I smiled at his grumpy response. He sounded tired. I wondered how bad things were for him if Dylan had felt pressured to come to me in person to appeal for my help."I don't know. Magda has answered before.""Magda is never here later than six. She's got to be home for her grandkids."I gave a fond thought to the older woman who was Tyler's personal housekeeper. Magda had always been a comforting presence in the house. She'd been there before me and it felt fitting she was there after I'd gone.I realized

Rachel POVRachel's Bedroom"Jenny is going to be the costar."I wasn't sure what I had expected Tyler to say, but that definitely wasn't it.Silence stretched between us on the line. I wasn't in any hurry to fill it as I had no idea what to say in response to the bombshell Tyler had gotten his mistress a part in my movie! What was he thinking?"Are you angry? I know you don't like Jenny very much."Was I angry?I tried to examine my emotions from an outside perspective. There was definitely some anger in me towards the woman who had driven me to demand a rejection from my mate.Jenny had made me believe she was having Tyler's baby only for me to find out it was a lie. The irony of us both having used a pregnancy scam to win Tyler wasn't lost on me. I hated she reminded me of my weakest moment, too.I hated a lot about Jenny Wayland the Model."I don't know if

Tyler POVMoonrise Entertainment"Your mate is pregnant."I looked up from my laptop to raise a brow at my father. My assistant had been instructed to ensure I worked undisturbed, but John Wright was redirected by no one.As the Alpha of Moonrise Pack, my father had more power than any other Alpha in the country. We had the largest population as well as the most resources at our disposal. I doubted anyone had ever told my father 'no' since he'd passed his eighteenth birthday."Yes," I agreed, "Rachel is pregnant.""You didn't think it was worth mentioning to me? You have an heir growing in that bitch's belly and she's out having her picture taken with another Alpha? House Lewis could lay claim to the child if she becomes legally wed to that Nathan."Werewolf laws regarding children were different than human laws. Rachel and I had never married in a human court which meant she couldn't appeal to the human

Rachel POVRachel & Bella's ApartmentEvery form I filled out seemed to come in three copies. My hands were cramping from writing all day. Bella and Jack were both writing, too."I cannot thank you enough for helping me with these forms. I feel like my hands are going to fall off."I lay my pen down and shook my hands out, flexing my fingers to try to relieve the cramps.Our entire kitchen table was covered in paperwork. I had lost track of what forms went where and the stacks were all a mess I didn't want to tackle.Jack gave me a sympathetic smile as he said, "I understand. I do this all day, but at least I usually get to do it online. You know it's only the BWA who still requires physical forms? Humans do everything electronically these days. They're ahead of us on that one."Jack worked at a law firm where he dealt with the Bureau of Werewolf Affairs regularly. He was working to become a lawyer i

Rachel POVSedan Backseat"Drive!""Help!" I started to scream, hoping someone would come to my aid even as the car drove away from my apartment at a high rate of speed.I reached for the door handle, trying to get out before the car got too far away from my home. I would be okay if I rolled on my way out, right? People escaped from moving vehicles all the time. It would have to be better to get bruised going out of the car than risk whatever they were going to do to me, wouldn't it?The man grabbed my arms and pulled me back against his chest. I tried to fight my way free of his hold. He was strong. Alpha strong."No! No," I tried to shout, struggling against him, "Let me go! Help!""Shut up! Rachel! Shut up," he ordered, shaking me before he wrapped his arms around my body and held me still.I recognized Tyler's voice before I recognized his hold."Tyler?"What in the name of the Moon G
Rejected My Alpha Mate #Chapter 40 Tyler could love me.
Rachel POVSedan Backseat"I want to know if I want to see my son or daughter, I can see them. Any time or day. I want to know holidays won't pass by without being able to see the child. I want to be there for every birthday. Every school function. Every Friday night football game."I laughed a bit at the idea of any child of mine being interested in football."Tyler, you've never expressed any interest in being a father. You've loudly told me you don't want to be a father. Why the change of heart?"Silence stretched between us as long as the endless road we traveled on. I finished my ice water and reached for the cup Tyler held. He surrendered it willingly. I found myself relaxing into the seat, enjoying the ride as Adam drove us smooth and steady, clearly experienced at driving the big sedan.Tyler was looking out of the window when he murmured a reply to me. I wouldn't have been able to hear his reply if I w
Rejected My Alpha Mate #Chapter 41 Goodbye, Nathan
Rachel POVRachel & Bella's Apartment"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"I didn't have a chance to catch my breath as I was pulled into the apartment by Nathan Lewis. He held my upper arms in his grasp with a tightness I couldn't begin to fight against. I couldn't understand his terror. We were newly reacquainted and I had broken his heart when I'd ended our relationship three years earlier. Why was he so affected over a brief abduction?"No, no, no! It was Tyler. He'd never hurt me," I tried to explain until Nathan shook me to silence me.Hard.He shook me so hard my teeth rattled and my brain banged around in my skull making my head ache."You have no idea what he's capable of, Rachel! He's spent years flaunting his affairs with other women while you, his fated mate, sits alone at home. What kind of wolf can do that? He rejected you in anger. He doesn't even want your child!"Nothing Nathan was saying could
Rejected My Alpha Mate #Chapter 42 I would be a better father
Tyler POVMoonrise EntertainmentSources close to the Alpha Council reported Nathan Lewis was pressing hard for a sanction against me as well as for a mating arrangement for himself with Rachel Flores.I could understand why he wanted Rachel. She was a desirable woman. If the rumors were to be believed, she was from an Alpha House rather than the omega house she had believed to be her home house. Her career was taking off too which would make her a wealthy bride.Her pregnancy would have made her less desirable to a human man. I'd been exposed to enough human fiction to understand their thoughts about raising someone else's child.We weren't human though---and a wolfen child with Alpha blood was valuable no matter who fathered him or her.Nathan Lewis was talking of a blood ceremony for their mating as well which would tie the child to his house before birth. His blood would course through my child's veins; I w
