Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 18 : What Did He Want from Me?
Naturally, I hardly got any sleep.After tossing and turning the entire night, I dragged myself up to get ready for the day. Contrary to the pretty girl I saw in the mirror yesterday before the party, I flinched at the reflection of a messy face with pale skin and the dark shadows beneath my eyes, even though I was still in the same dress that Avery made for me.I spent several minutes running a comb through the bird’s nest on my head before Avery knocked on the door.“You better have a good explanation for why you didn’t come … Claire, you okay?”I wasn’t shocked when Avery demanded where I had gone last night. I did break my promise to her.“I’m so sorry, Avery. I suddenly didn’t feel very well and decided to come back and take some rest.”Of course, I was too ashamed to tell her about me and Jared in the watch house, but what I told her wasn’t a complete lie either, especially with the tears and nausea from the night before.She looked me up and down, her expression softened, and h
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 19 : My New Role
Jared’s intense gaze locked on me, his strong body towering over me at his full height while I cowered slightly. He grabbed my arm and dragged me to my feet.I flinched, tugging uselessly at his hold on me, my face starting to heat up as he stared down at me. I could hear my own breathing start to quicken as I hated myself for comparing this with when he had my wrists pinned above my head at the watch house.He tightened his hold on me but didn’t speak for a while.I swallowed, forcing myself to look him in the eye despite how badly I wanted to look at the wooden floor. Finally, I asked in the most possible leveled tone I could muster. “How am I going to make myself useful?”Once again, his firm words surprised me. “By learning to be a healer.”Instantly, my entire body relaxed. I scoffed inwardly at myself, unable to believe how badly I overreacted. Jared probably had no idea what happened the night before if my theory was correct, especially since he had indeed been drugged.And eve
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 20 : I’ll Destroy Her
*Jared*From the moment I was old enough to comprehend the concept, I knew that I would be the next Alpha. According to the elders and my parents, ever since I was little, I was a natural-born leader. I had strong opinions and I cared deeply for the pack.It helped that my father was the fiercest and bravest alpha that Moonstone had ever known.I remembered being a boy, I could only strive to be half of what he was. My twelve-year-old self wasn’t ignorant. I knew that I still had a lot to learn about leading my pack, but luckily, I would have a lot of time to do that.Or I thought I would.Then…everything happened too soon, and I had to grow up fast and take on responsibilities way earlier than I anticipated.It had been more than a decade and I’d figured things out. The problem was, there were people who thought I was still a twelve-year-old.That frustrated the hell out of me.I hardened my gaze as Travis, Moonstone’s beta, continued his rant concerning a recent decision I had made.
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 21 : Why Was I So Drawn to Her?
*Claire*I was finally starting to feel like I belonged, emphasis on starting. There were definitely times when I would walk through Moonstone where I would get dirty looks from members. I felt self-conscious every time I left my room. There was no chance of going anywhere without being recognized. Jared had put me in front of the whole pack multiple times now. Everyone knew me.What kept me from feeling completely uncomfortable was my healing lessons with Avery. We spent a lot of time going through different journals on healing. Avery was a patient teacher and was helping me memorize some basic herbs and their uses. I could finally make a substance that was used to put on minor cuts and scrapes to keep them from getting infected.We worked for at least 10 hours each day, and I even helped Avery while she tended to injured and sick members of the pack. I didn’t do anything complicated, just went to fetch any tools or herbs that Avery needed or helped her with things like bandaging wou
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 22 : Late-Night Visit
*Claire*I winced as I rolled over in bed, still feeling the extent of my injuries from Amanda. It wasn’t anything serious, especially after Avery paid extra care to my wounds and made me a special serum that would take most of the pain away. She warned me that I would probably be feeling the cuts and bruises well into the next day, but the serum would at least help me get a night of good sleep.She seemed frustrated with herself, apologizing for not stepping in sooner. I assured her that it was completely fine because it was me who stopped Avery each time she tried to come to my aid.Even though Amanda beat me, she wasn’t able to beat me into surrender. I wouldn’t let her win and get her way. If Amanda thought that would make me leave here, she was wrong.I had worked so hard to earn my stay and I wasn’t going to give up so easily because of a spoiled brat. She wasn’t worth it. Besides the benefit of being able to stay within the safe border and not worry about unforeseeable attacks
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 23 : Get to Know Each Other
*Jared*Since I snuck into her room a few nights ago, I couldn’t get Claire out of my head.At the time, it felt like if I didn’t do something soon, I wouldn’t be able to get her out of my mind regardless. Breaking into her room in the middle of the night seemed like the best option. I didn’t exactly want her to know about the strange effect she had on me. I still didn’t understand it myself.Her scent was unique and I noticed that the first time I met her, I thought, perhaps she wasn’t our kind. It could be explained if she was cursed. However, it was more than that.She was addictive to me. That was admittedly part of the problem. I didn’t know very much about the girl, so I could make no educated guesses as to why her scent spoke to me the way it did.I started looking into her past but with only a name to go after, it wasn’t easy. Avery briefly mentioned that her pack was destroyed, so I asked Kent to look into packs that had been eradicated over a decade ago.No one could add any
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 24 : Tonight
*Claire*Screw him. Screw him and his stupid alpha orders.I was grateful to be a member of Moonstone, but that didn’t mean that I had to like being forced to follow the jerkface’s commands. I felt tears sting the backs of my eyes as I replayed the last several minutes in my mind.For a short moment, it felt like we were opening up to each other, that he was actually taking a genuine interest in who I was. I should’ve known better than to let myself think that even for a moment. I should’ve known from the beginning that he was just asking about my past in order to snoop on me.He still didn’t trust me, even after everything we’d been through and the efforts I made to be part of the pack. Just like the vast majority of the Moonstone pack, no matter how hard I tried.I took a few cleansing breaths to calm my anger. I should’ve known better that the jerkface wasn’t here today to be my friend. I should’ve known this wasn’t something new.Yes, it had been a few weeks since I was named an o
Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha Chapter 25 : A Romantic Rendezvous
*Jared*A few days have passed since I confronted Claire about the attack on her pack. I regretted the way I went about it, thinking that I should have stayed on the gentler approach that I had been going for. Instead, I let her get under my skin the way she tended to, and I snapped.It would be difficult to get anything out of her at this point. She would likely be wary of me for a while.After spending a few hours in my office, catching up on some boring paperwork stuff, I found that I couldn’t sleep and decided to take a walk. Patrolling couldn’t hurt, and it was a way for me to clear my head. I walked beneath the moon. It would be full in just a few short days. I wandered along the perimeter of the compound, my thoughts on the newest member of our pack.The longer she was here with us, the more puzzling she became. I thought back to the genuine anger that flashed in her sky-like eyes when I demanded to know what happened to her pack. She had started to open up to me. She was letti
