Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Pack CHAPTER FIFTEEN: TRUST ME
Lila POVI smile at Dove, and she seems to look curious about something, but we are distracted as Caleb comes back out of his bedroom. He sits on the sofa next to her, and she rests her head on his shoulder.“So who is your lucky partner?”“The other girl in the trials. She hasn’t said much. She seems like the silent but completely deadly type,” she explains with a sigh. “I gave up trying to make conversation with her, but I can hope she is an expert hunter.”“At least you don’t have a newbie over here,” Caleb counters, pointing at me.“Hey, I’m not that bad at fighting and figuring out demons,” I reply shortly. Truthfully, I’m clueless—but I’m a quick learner.He laughs, and Dove shakes her head.“I can help you train, you know, if you want. I’ve been training since I was young.”“I can hold my own,” I state. “But thank you.”“I hope so. The first test is tomorrow,” she replies. “It won’t be easy.”“Don’t worry. I’m happy to carry all the weight in our partnership, songbird,” Caleb c
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Pack CHAPTER FOURTEEN: BIG CITY
Lila POV“This is my room,” Caleb states, stepping in front of me and into the bedroom before I stake any claim to it. “Finders keepers, songbird.”“Stop calling me that!” I shout back as I walk away. In response, a door slams. Dammit, I need to come up with a good nickname for him that isn’t just an asshole.Going to the next door, I find it’s a small bathroom, and every bit of it is green, including the toilet and bath. Even the showerhead itself is as green as the three cabinets and green-rimmed mirror.I really hope it doesn’t push out green water.Whoever designed this place needs to find the other colors of the rainbow.I head to the next door, the one nearest the entrance, and open it to find the other bedroom—my new home far away from my actual home.There’s nothing but a single bed lodged in the corner and an old chest of drawers that looks like it’s seen better days. One drawer doesn’t even have handles.This room has a window, though, and I walk over, looking out through th
Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Pack CHAPTER THRITEEN: DOWN GURL
Lila POV The courtyards of the Demon Hunting Trials are beautiful in a way I never expected Hell to be. Instead of being dead and covered in flames, it is full of green and life. Different plants fill every corner and line the sides of rocky stone pathways.The buildings are made of old yellow stone with black metal balconies. There are pillars and archways everywhere I look. This place feels like a mixture between Greek and Foster design. Everything is covered in red-flowered ivy, curling around the statues of the Crescent Mother we pass.The statues make me feel like I’m back at the academy, where they have statues everywhere.We head around dim corridors, through pathways, and into one of the tallest buildings at the back of the compound. The structure stretches into a branch that crosses the roof, letting ivy and vines trail around it like they’re embracing it.I follow Caleb through the entrance hall, which is empty except for a single green sofa, and into a corridor full of doz

Lila POV He sits back once Caleb pledges his allegiance and walks away. The moment the male glances at me, his smile disappears, and he returns to his former bored state.“And why do you wish to enter the trials?” he asks, contemplating the emerald ring on his finger.This guy couldn’t look more disinterested even if he tried.As much as I’m dying to say, “I want to enter the trials so I can kill your dad,” I reply instead, “I want to avenge my parents.”He peers up at me, his body bathed in the sunlight streaming through the courtyard.“What happened to them?”I swallow the lump of emotion swelling in my throat.“They were… killed.”The corner of his lip twitches.“I gathered that. Why?”Caleb’s words echo in my mind. Don’t be yourself.What would Ava Foster say?Lifting my chin, I look at the prince dead in the eye—crimson, just like his dad’s.“Because they refused to give up what was valuable to them,” I answered boldly. “I want to become the strongest demon bounty hunter there i

Lila POV A warm breeze drifts over me and drags my hair across my face. I brush the strands back and tuck the now-dyed lock behind my ear. I’m so used to seeing the white streak in the corner of my eye; it’s strange to lose that part of my identity. But if I want to survive in this world, sacrifices must be made.I lean against the wall surrounding the city and stare up at the burning tree in the near distance.“So… how do we get to the trials?” I ask, glancing at Caleb sitting on the edge of the wall.“You really are new here, huh?”He twirls a dagger between his fingers, grinning at me.“The roots of the tree are made up of magical ley lines. See that portal at the hollow?”He points the tip of the blade toward the archway carved into the tree; the portal glows with sapphire light.“You step into it and think about where you wanna go, then voilà—you’re there.”“That’s pretty neat,” I admit, pushing off the wall. “Then we should get going. How do I look?”He gives me a slow once-ove

Lila POV “Derek, if that’s you back without my fucking demon—”Caleb pauses mid-sentence, his deep caramel eyes slowly dropping onto me.I didn’t think the tip I got from a man outside the large fenced-off area for the demon-hunting trials was right when he said Caleb lived here. Mostly because the man appeared drunk, and it was too lucky that the first person I asked actually knew him.Turns out the long shot was bang on.Caleb’s six-foot, built-as-hell frame towers over me. I forgot how intimidating his stare is.“Who the fuck are you, and what do you want?”I’m speechless for a second too long. With unseeable speed, he whips a silver dagger out from his back and places the tip under my chin. Fury burns in his eyes, and two black marks running from his forehead, around his eyes, to his cheeks glow a vibrant red.“You might be fucking drop-dead beautiful, but you won’t trick me into whatever you’re selling. Get the fuck out of here before you regret it.”He lowers the dagger and wal
