Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 59 : A jinx
Talia was confident that something was wrong with Cassie’s head. Within a few seconds, Talia ended up as a thief and a liar, and Cassie didn’t have a single proof for any of that.Does she want to be Luciano’s Luna? Will Luciano allow Cassie to be in a position to impact the lives of his pack members?Stephanie told Talia several stories about Luciano since he took over the pack as the Alpha, and Talia thought that he cared about his pack. However, if he makes Cassie his Luna, that will change the dynamics for the worse, not only in the packhouse but in the pack overall.‘I need to leave this place as soon as possible.’, Talia told herself. ‘Living on the street and sleeping under a bridge can’t be worse than this.’Who cares about a cosy room if she can’t leave it without fear that she will be bullied? And what if bullies come into the room? How will that be different compared to the attic where she used to live?Without the authority to talk back to Cassie, Talia felt the urgency to
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 60 : Dinner and bossy altitude
Stephanie saw that Talia’s mood was not good and she understood that after the incident with Cassie, Talia had every right to be upset.Maya told Stephanie about Cassie accusing Talia of stealing food previously, so she knew that this was not the first time for Cassie to bully Talia. Stephanie also knew about the point that Luciano was just standing there and didn’t do anything while Cassie was doing her Luna act, and Stephanie couldn’t imagine how painful that would be for Talia. Luciano is the one who brought her here with a promise of a better life, yet when it counted he stood on the side.Stephanie’s heart ached and she wanted to comfort Talia who was holding the ice pack on her face. “Let me see your cheek, dear…”“Don’t worry about me. I’m used to it.”, Talia interrupted Stephanie. Compared to the beatings she got at the Red Moon pack, this was nothing much. “Thank you for the ice pack. I know you have good intentions, but dinner will burn if no one takes care of it. I’m sorry,
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 61: Pillow talk
Luciano’s gaze directed at Talia made her uncomfortable and she wanted him to leave. “There is Tiramisu for dessert.”, Talia said when she finished the food from her plate. “You get dessert only if you join us in the dining room for a meal.”, Luciano responded. “That’s not what I meant.”, Talia said quickly. “I thought that you might want cake so you can have it when you go down.” Luciano cocked an eyebrow. “Instead of worrying about others, you should think about yourself more. What do you want to do now?” ‘I want you to leave.’, Talia didn’t dare to say this aloud. “Sleep. I’m tired.” Luciano nodded faintly and his eyes fell on two empty plates. He collected the plates and stood up. “Since you are tired, go to bed.” Talia understood this was the part where they said their goodnights and she got her privacy. “Thank you for bringing me dinner.” Luciano’s lips lifted into a smile. “You are welcome.” Neither of them moved for a few seconds and then Luciano’s eyes darted from Tal
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 62 : Alpha's apology
Talia wanted Luciano to leave, so she used the excuse of being sleepy.She needed space.Ever since the incident with Cassie, Talia didn’t find a moment to collect her thoughts.First, it was Stephanie, then Maya, and now Luciano, and Talia didn’t get a chance to think about what happened and what she would do about it. Well, she knew that she should leave the packhouse, but the question was: how far away should she flee?There must be some safe distance from Luciano and the bullies.Luciano was amused by Talia’s newfound spunk. She seemed determined to stay away from him, but he had no intention of leaving her side.He chased Cassie away, and that must count for something.“You can’t sleep like this?”, Luciano asked.“No. Not really.”, Talia said and moved her arm.The sleeve of Talia’s t-shirt hitched higher, and Luciano narrowed his eyes when he saw a fresh bruise on Talia’s upper arm.Luciano pushed himself up and examined the bruise. It was a palm print with five fingers seen cle
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 63 : While she was sleeping
"Alpha Richard was thinking about Cassie’s words and he had a feeling that he might be on to something. Just like many other Alphas and Elders, Alpha Richard is keeping an eye on Luciano (and on the movements of the Dark Howlers pack), and Alpha Richard is aware that no matter how much they tried to pressure Luciano, it was nearly impossible to influence him because Luciano didn’t expose any weakness. The circle of people who can approach Luciano is small, and he doesn’t have any close family members. No matter what girls they send Luciano’s way, none of them kept him interested for more than one night. Well, Cassie is an exception, but she never went beyond occasional hookups. However, if there is a girl who managed to invoke Luciano’s protective side, she might be someone important. Alpha Richard’s story of how the girl might be Luciano’s relative or a spy was just nonsense to pacify Cassie; she was never the sharpest tool in the shed; far from it. Actually, Cassie is not stupid,
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 64 : The morning after
Through her sleepy haze, Talia heard water.It sounded like a downpour.No matter what the weather was outside, Talia was in a cosy bed, surrounded by the scent of the forest and dark chocolate, and she didn’t want to wake up. She pulled the comforter over her head and drifted back to sleep.Talia’s mind stirred, and her eyes fluttered open.There was no sound of rain. It was sunny outside. Did she dream about the rain? Or was it raining during the night and then it cleared up? It didn’t matter.Talia turned lazily and her nose touched the pillow that was full of a delicious smell which confirmed that the last night happened. She didn’t imagine it.Alpha Luciano was there, and he asked her to continue using this room he said that no one would disturb her anymore that she didn’t need to hide, and that she could train in self-defence.Talia didn’t remember when she fell asleep, but she knew that Alpha Luciano slept with her, or at least held her while she was sleeping. The sheets next t
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 65 : Shady business under the table
Luciano didn’t like the idea of Katerina visiting the Dark Howlers pack, and he also didn’t like that his two Betas were talking about it like it was not a big deal. Sure, he didn’t tell them that Talia is his mate, but they should at least be aware of the consequences if Katerina recognizes Talia as the girl from the attic. “If Katerina comes, what will happen to Talia?”, Luciano asked. Maya had a solution ready, “We can move her with Omegas, and tell her to stay low profile until Katerina leaves. Talia wants to move out of the packhouse, and this can be a good occasion to start the process…” Luciano’s ears were buzzing and he didn’t hear the rest. Is Maya serious? How dare she think about separating him from Talia? But… can Talia stay in the packhouse with Katerina around? Only last night Luciano told Talia that this is her home and that she won’t need to hide, yet if Katerina comes, Luciano will need to eat his words and suffer the consequences of breaking Talia’s trust. Agai
Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 66 : Permission to learn
Luciano worked on his breakfast while focusing on his hand under the table that held Talia’s. Talia’s warmth and delicious sparks calmed his restless mind and heart, and there was some mischief because of the discomfort Talia was trying to hide whenever his thumb moved gently over her knuckles. Luciano was upset at the thought of Katerina wanting to come, and he needed Talia’s touch to comfort him. Unfortunately, just hand-holding under the table was not enough. Luciano wanted to hug Talia, and much more, but he knew that this was as far as he could go in the current setting, and it needed to be enough. For now. “Talia”, Maya called, and Talia’s head snapped at her. Talia’s heart raced, does Maya know what’s going on under the table? Will Maya and Caden tease her if they know that Luciano is holding her hand during breakfast? “Do you have plans for today?”, Maya asked. Talia released the breath she was holding. “I have an appointment with Doctor Travis in the morning, and then
