Veil.

There's rage in her eyes, her claws slipping out to strike at me.

That scorpion! How did she find out about it?

Gilly's already shivering in fear of the Luna.

She's on her knees, head bowed, but Emma doesn't even spare her a glance. She has her wicked eyes only on me.

She steps closer, and I take a step back until she grabs the collar of my dress, jerking me forward into her angry face.

“Luna…” I stammer, fear clouding me.

“Explain what happened to my pet, Veil!”

My heart drops im

  • Once Rejected: A Slave To My Alpha Stepbrothers    Don't keep me waiting

    Veil. Emma's eyes meet mine, glaring hard. Her face is pitch red, and her heart is probably threatening to beat out of her chest, given the way she's breathing. I feel several eyes on me, especially Ava's and Caroline's, burning hotter than a volcano.Rio had just shown everyone he's taking sides with me over his Luna. I still don't understand his reasons for supporting me. Wasn't he the one who sent me to Quin to die? This is all strange. I hold my breath when he utters again. “You're wasting time, Emma. Apologize.” When Emma refuses to speak, he nabs her arm, pulling her to his chest. His voice thunders for all to hear. “Let's get one thing straight, everyone. Veil is still under punishment for her crime. She's still liable to face death, but only the pack elders and I have the ultimate right to make that decision. Not the Luna and especially not any of you.” Heads bow. My heart leaps. So, it's true, my chances of being sentenced to death are still high. Emma glares at me

She's on her knees, head bowed, but Emma doesn't even spare her a glance. She has her wicked eyes only on me. She steps closer, and I take a step back until she grabs the collar of my dress, jerking me forward into her angry face. “Luna…” I stammer, fear clouding me. “Explain what happened to my pet, Veil!” My heart drops immediately. Her pet? I never knew Emma kept things like these as her pets, and I'd killed one early this morning. Regardless, I deny it. “I don't know…what you're talking about…”A loud crack echoes as she sends her fist to my cheek. Head snapped aside, I taste the coppery tang of blood on the seam of my lips. “Do you take me for a fool, Veil?” She roars. It doesn't take long for maids and guards to cluster around, feasting on the scene as they murmur amongst themselves. I hold my stinging

    Veil. “You seem better this morning.” Gilly's voice comes from behind me, and I momentarily stop mowing the lawn to look at her. Her eyes are bright, not judgmental like I expected they'd be after what happened last night. She's carrying a heap of clothes in a basket while grinning at me. “Uh…yeah.” I can't seem to meet her gaze.Now that I think about it, I was clearly rude last night. Gilly was only showing concern, but my history has made it difficult to open up to anyone. “I'm…sorry about last night.” She steps closer, smiling. “It doesn't matter. I figured it's not something you want to share yet. Forgive me for probing too much.” “No, you weren't. I was just…I couldn't do it.” She clasps my hand reassuringly, looking gently into my eyes. “I understand you, Veil. Our friendship just started. Things are still new between us. So there's no need to rush things. Whenever you're ready to share your story, I'll be right here to hold your hand.” Her words melt my heart, but I k

    Veil. I stand face to face with the beast, holding my breath. It's as if days haven't passed. As if time is still. Quin's beast stands like a giant before me, assessing. I curl my fingers into fists, back perched deep into the wall with my eyes closed. His open maw dribbles with thick saliva as he smells me for any threats. His nose nudges at my skin, and suddenly, he rips me from the wall with his big hand, bringing me to the center of the cellar. The moonlight forces its way into the cellar through the window and cracks in the wall, illuminating the space.He growls, looming over my back like a predator. I'm so terrified, scared things might go south.Elbows meeting the floor, I fight to keep from escaping from him. He pulls at my dress, baring my womanhood. His snarl is heart-rending when he touches me and notices the blood on me. Shock blasts through me. Quin's beasts hit his chest, raging. I turn, watching the display of anger. Fear bolts through me, and I wonder what

    Veil.I quickly recoil, creating a space between Gilly and me while covering up my back. My back meets the headboard, and I hug my knees to myself while watching her. There's a horror look on her face, brows creased questioningly. That's the normal reaction of everyone who sees the map on my back. They're either disgusted or feel pity for me. But since moving back home and knowing how much they hated me, I've been conscious not to let anyone see what I'm hiding. Gilly's hands drop at her sides. She tries to move close again, but I flinch away, especially now that the details of how I got redesigned into a monster are flashing through my mind.“Who did that to you?” “No one.” I abruptly answer, looking away. “Veil…” “I'd like it if you went away,” I state firmly. Gilly's gasp sends a twinge of pain in my chest. She looks more than stunned at my actions, but I need to do it. I need to act firm if I don't want to crash here and turn into a wrecking sob. “Please, Gilly, just giv

    Veil. “Ouch, that hurts, Gilly!” I scream as Gilly massages my arms that I strained earlier in the fields where Emma had ordered me to cultivate. It's a barren land, but Emma's orders were specific: plant poppy seeds on the whole acres of barren land, nurture them until they grow, and transform them into the pain-killers the pack members suffering from Shiftbane will use to dull their pain. I've been stuck in the fields for four days now, surviving on a morsel of food, while executing Luna's orders. She made sure no one helped me, not even Gilly, and placed guards to serve as watchdogs for me. I saw hell in the field, literally. The lands are not receptive to the seeds I'm planting, and it's killing me. My skin has grown tanned from working under the harsh sun without stopping. Fortunately, orders came in, probably from her, asking me to return to the pack house, and here I am, swimming in pain from the blisters and strains on my arms and feet. The back of my eyes burn when G
