Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 48. Loyalty
Zared povI watch Dysnomia march out of the office. The last few days her behavour has been all over the place. From completely shattered and heartbroken when Janus died, to insanely angry when she came to the dungeon and kicked out most of Ahriman’s teeth. Immensely cruel she while castrating him and making him eat his own testicles. Gunther and I still shudder when we think about it, the sound of him trying to chew on his own testicle with hardly any teeth but unable to swallow the thing as a whole. Then she openly stood up to me in both Golden Claw and here, making her own decisions when it came to moving to Janus’ old cottage, dismissing Brian and just now by challenging me and Gunther. Her mood swings leave me reeling. “She’s pregnant,” Gunther offers as an explanation“Yes but it seems more than that.”“It’s probably her wolf as well. I can sense she's an old spirit, maybe even older than me. My guess is they are fighting over how to do things. Even though they’ve been togeth
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 49. Rabbit hunt
Nomia povTo my surprise Jasmin, Gamma Blagdan and another woman joined us the next morning. All three packed for travel. I look at Breanna and Bridget but they shrug their shoulders, I look at Zared and raise a brow, in response he gives me a lopsided grin and the bond flutters alive, making me find him attractive.“He is a fine specimen though,” Aminta puts in her two cents.“He could be handsome but all attraction is lost due that scowl that makes him look as if he is permanently in pain or at least in pain.”“Jasmin will be coming back with us so she can keep you company. Gamma Blagdan will be your new guard and chaperon. He has requested that his mate can accompany him.”I nod in understanding, “Alpha Zared, would you allow me, Bridget and Breanna to shift and run alongside our travelling party?”“I will join you, Blagdan can take my horse. The four ladies can travel in the carriage. Gunther wants to spend some time with your wolf. We don’t even know her name yet. We haven’t shi
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 50. Happiness
Zared povI felt a flutter of butterflies when Dysnomia gave me the name of her wolf, ‘Pseudea,’ I silently repeated it to taste it on my tongue. It feels natural, ‘Gunther and Pseudea’, it matches. Alpha King Zared and his Luna Queen Dysnomia. I can see it all playing out in front of me. She will submit to me after the fight, she will learn to respect me. Without Pseudea’s power she will once again be the sweet and timid girl that I named Aurum. Maybe I will revert back to calling her that so we aren’t constantly reminded of this bump in the road where she insisted on being called the name her mother gave her.When Gunther walks out the packhouse after shifting I am once again struck in awe by the sight of Pseudea, her Auburn fur glossy and thick, the yellow eyes that show her dragon blood. When we approach her Gunther tries to get her to at least bow her head and acknowledge him as an Alpha. She evades his move and stands taller and prouder. Then she starts out without me, I take of
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 51. Full moon
Nomia povTonight is the full moon. I woke up feeling anxious. Aminta is pacing in my head. Restless. Anxious. Eager. I feel mostly dread. What if I fail everyone by losing? What will happen to Breanna and Bridget if I lose? On more than one occasion Zared has made it clear that they are protected by me. What if I can no longer protect them the way I can now?“Triton's Trident Dysnomia! Stop that thought train! We won’t fail.”I stop pacing the room. “Why not? How can you be so sure of that?”“The Moon Goddess is on our side. She wants us to win. She sent me to you to ensure that. Everything that ever happened to you happened for a reason. Breanna and Bridget’s wolves know it, they put their trust in you. Everything has led up to this moment.”My knees tremble, “I’m not born for greatness. I’m just a slave…” my words trail. “Neptunes nipples, Dysnomia! You are a dragon princess! Your mother was fated to the dragon prince! She was taken from him. You are the product of love and destiny
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 52. New world
Zared POV“Aminta?!” Gunther screeches in horror, sounding like a cat who just had a bucket of water dumped on him. “Why is this so bad?”“Aminta is one of the oldest wolf spirits; she's a protector that always brings her mission to a successful end. Pseudea doesn’t always bring her mission to a successful end. She’s distracted or over courageous or promises more than she can do. She is only here on earth when the Moon Goddess really needs something done. Or when Aminta is bored and wants to shake things up.”“Have you defeated her before?“I can’t remember. We only get to keep some memories of past lives. Maybe we were mates before. Maybe we were mortal enemies. I don’t know.” “Didn’t you recognise her then?”“Zee, if I have no or only vague memories how do you think I would remember how Aminta looks? How would I know what her scent is like? Also these change over lives. She may be auburn it this life, black in the past and white in the next life.” The full moon is at its apex, M
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 53. Marked
Dysnomia povFor the first time in my life I belong somewhere and not to someone. Though I do have to inform him that I am no longer his possession. But I consider that a formality. I am free, no longer a slave in some form. The feeling is bittersweet. I want my freedom but I wanted it with Janus not with Zared. It feels wrong to treat Zared like my slave but I do want some form of revenge. He nor anyone else can give me back the years I lived as a slave nor can the damage done to my body and mind be undone. But I want something, maybe just acknowledgement? I do know that I have a plan that Aminta and I talked through. With Golden Claw usurping Red Star there are only a few packs left in werewolf territory. The rest of the land being no one's land, basically rogue territory. I want to take over those few packs and turn the whole werewolf territory into a country. But first I need to become Luna. I want the pack to know that I am the real Luna. So I will mark and be marked by Zared.
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 54. Firsts
Zared povGunther and I are at odds. With a snap of her finger Dysnomia has changed us into her personal assistant. We lost our office and have to find a new room to create an office in. It has to be smaller than Janus’ gamma office that she has taken as her office.Maybe to irk me maybe because it’s most efficient she has given my big luxurious office to Blagdan and the three men Janus deemed suitable for gamma. Adding the warrior I wanted to kill at Red Star to the band of merry Delta’s. I understand what she is doing. She is creating a group of men she can trust to oversee everything. I just don’t like not being the one in control. We do get to mate with her and mark her before the ceremony next week. I look forward to that, especially now I know that I won’t be turned into a weak side kick. Others will barely notice the difference in me. Gunther however is furious with the changes. He desperately wants an out. He even considers going rogue. “We’ll build up a new pack and then ta
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 55. Luna Dysnomia
Dysnomia povI look at the market stalls being put into place for tomorrow's ceremony. Breanna and Bridget have really gone all out in planning the festivities. They enjoyed it and it was obvious that Zared was beyond clueless on how to organise it. There will be musicians and a dancefloor, games for the children and competitions like archery for the adults.I notice I’m giddy, I’ve never been to a festival or something like that before. Now I have the power to organise one. Nearly everyone has been given the day off. Those that have to work at a stall, competition or in the food industry have to work, but everyone else is off, including the slaves. Tomorrow I will become Golden Claws Luna. The day after that we will leave for the human realm. I think it will give me some closure I can find things to use on Zared so that he knows what he put us through. “Not sure it bothers him the way it bothered you and the others,” Aminta points out. “That seems true,” I have to admit, thinking
