His Rejected Slave 37
DEFORESTTime will always reveal.She had walked out on me!It couldn't have been more embarrassing!Mate, where did that come from!I watched her run away from my presence, ignoring whatever consequences she was going to face.It seemed all eyes were on me. Definitely, they knew what stuff I was made of; they knew I couldn't stand the shame. They knew she would live to wish she was dead for daring to embarrass me.They know me!I am the heir to the Lord Dragon!And I was not going to disappoint!I was going to put up a show for it!Angrily, I summoned the swordsmen."I don't f*cking care how you do it, bring her to me now," I had barked out the command.I was the talk of the pack, and rightly so. What lady wouldn't want to have a piece of me!She had rejected me at my own party!How could she even think of it!?My own party!The sound was deafening. Music everywhere; people drinking and having their glasses refilled."More whisky, please" filtered the air.I don't

"Nothing, she has done nothing" I said to him."Yet you search for her. When I saw you summon the guards, I knew immediately it was about her. Tell me, brother, since when did you become worried about her if she has done nothing?," he asked, mimicking me."Okay, fine!""Better. I knew it was not for nothing. So, what has she done this time?." He sounded so authoritative. What damn guts!"She insulted me before the guests!""You mean to say she rejected you before the hitters?," he asked, sounding very sarcastic.If only I had not gone to him. He just made me look like a fool."I don't care what you call it, or how you see it. I just wanna know if you have seen her sniffing around. I swear, I will…""Here comes your swordsmen," he cut me short.The idiots have resurfaced from wherever without her. I didn't know if to feel relieved or angry. Whatever, Declan mustn't find out I had suddenly developed a soft spot for the very lady we both enjoyed seeing crawl and beg us for mercy.The ne

JASON"Yes, I'm madly in love with you."Boy, that was swift!Where did that come from!I was sitting quietly alone in my room, anxiously waiting for a response from her. I had lost count on the number of times I had looked at the text message. A mix of excitement and nervousness filled my heart each time I bowed my head to look at it. Even though that was not how I wanted it, I could not help but feel proud of myself for finally taking the step to express my feelings to her.'That's what real men do,' my father had told me the previous day.As I read it over and over again, a small smile crept onto my face, and I began to imagine all the possibilities of what our future could hold if she gave me the golden yes!If she agrees to be my girlfriend, I would spend the rest of my life, whatever is left of it, making her happy."I love adventures; I love to explore places, to travel to space and be where only few humans have ever dared to be. I would also like to travel under

DEFOREST"Father!," I had yelled, standing in the way of the swordsman, blocking his whip from reaching her.I could not believe I had stood in the way of his command to the swordsman. I had acted swiftly, at the spur of the moment, without even thinking of what the consequences of challenging the alpha was.I could not afford to watch her die, even though I had no idea what she had done.The alpha looked at me with so much shock on his face. His eyes glowed with anger. Certainly, he had not seen that coming. He was not used to seeing me not be on the same page with him. This was one area he knew I was better than Declan. I could readily carry out his 'kill' order without bothering to ask him any question. "Deforest!," he called out, clinging to his fist with so much vigor. It's not a sight I wanna behold again."Father," I began, carefully keeping my distance, for I feared his reaction if I took another step closer to him. "What is her offense?"The identity of th

DECLAN"Deforest, kill the maid!"My heart sank when I heard that!Deforest was going to kill her. There was just no way he was going to disobey the alpha. He always carried out his command.I knew the charges against Sarah were not true, and he knew that. The alpha just wanted to quell any uprising that would ensue if the people found out that Kianna, an ordinary maid, had escaped from the clutches of his array of swordsmen. Cracks would begin to appear; the people would then question his ability to lead them as their alpha.If there was one thing he didn't want, it was not to lose his grip on the people. He would sacrifice anyone or anything just to continue to be feared by all and sundry.He needed a scapegoat!And Sarah it was!I needed to stop him, if no one was going to."Stop, wolf!," I growled at Deforest, running towards him. "Give me a minute, please," I whispered to him. Surprisingly, he had not growled back at me. Quickly, I walked up to my father and sai

There was just no way Duncan could have known about the underground house. It was top secret. Someone must have tipped him about the place. He couldn't have found out by himself."What did you say, Duncan?," I asked, pretending not to have heard."Come on, Declan, cut the crap. You heard me the first time. I know you have her. I just wanted to inform you that someone is about to go down because of her. Do what you gotta do," he hung up.He had just made me look silly.The way I looked at her made her scared, really scared."Is that your brother?," she asked, anxiously waiting for an answer.Instead of responding to her, I sat down on the bed, trying to make sense of what Duncan had just said."Someone is about to go down because of her," he had said.He had not told me who that was. Surely, Deforest had found a scapegoat."I guess he knows where we are. I'm doomed. I couldn't have escaped from his clutches for long, after all.""Hey, I gave you my word, and I intend to keep it. Do you

JASON ••••••••••"Jason," I heard the voice again, this time, in a frantic manner. "Jason, it's me," she quickly added.I immediately recognized the voice; It was a familiar one. I turned towards the direction of the caller, cautiously curious."Come," she beckoned to me, demonstrating with her hands. Something was off about her expression; it was like she didn't wanna be noticed."What's happening?," I asked, as soon as I got to her."You shouldn't be here!," she just said, looking around to ensure we were not being followed. I was beginning to get nervous. "It's too risky out here.""Hey, you're getting me confused and nervous," I said, unable to hold still anymore. "What is happening? Why is everywhere looking so quiet and deserted? And where is Kianna and the rest of the pack?," I asked, looking around for a clue or something resembling one."I don't know, just leave! Leave before he finds you. Leave and don't look back, Jason. Kianna will call you when

DECLAN."What are you hiding from me?," he asked me, giving me a suspicious look."Nothing, it's nothing you should be worried about," I said, trying to block him from having access to that blind spot."Then let me see for myself, because I am sure there is someone in there." He tried to force his way past me, but I wouldn't let him, even if I knew I could not hold still for long."Okay, I give up," he said, turning his back on me. Just when I thought he would just walk away, he turned back and hit me so hard, taking me by surprise. I tried to stay on my feet, but the impact was too much, such that I staggered to the ground.Quickly, he pulled Duncan out of the blind spot and first dealt him a blow before even realizing who he was."You!? What are you doing here?." Turning to me, he asked, "How did he get in here?"I looked as surprised as he was. To think that I thought it was he who gave him the code to the underground house. If it wasn't him, who then did? Well, tha
