The blood drained from Denice's face when she heard Zara say, “But, but… were you not able to reach an agreement?” she could not help but ask.

“What did he ask for?” Joel asked right after her.

Zara was drenched from head to toe and her mind was already racing as she stood there, “They wanted us to hand alpha Draven over,” she answered.

“What?” the shock in Denice's voice was as clear as the rumbling in the skies above.

“Those rogue bastards!” Joel snarled.

Zara was deaf to their responses, what was going on in her head was the ultimatum. She told the leader she would give him one day to pull his troops and retreat and she intended to honor her word.

But the rogues were not exactly known for being trustworthy, even though the leader told her he would also give her a day, there was a very high chance that he and his men would attack much sooner than that.

“Joel, rally the men… fortify the defenses, they will be coming any moment from now,” she said.

Joel nodded and darted off into the

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   INTERNAL DEMONS

    Alpha Draven felt a tightness in his chest, this was a different symptom from the general weakness and lethargy that he felt.Coupled with the voice that had just spoken from within a few seconds ago, was enough to leave him worried.Alpha Draven twisted back and forth on his small bed as he fought to clutch his chest, it was as if something was trying to force its way out of him from the inside.“No, I won’t let you,” he muttered as he clutched his chest and gritted his teeth.His wolf felt like it was being awakened, like it was about to be set free, along with something dark and unknown.He knew instinctively that if he let his wolf out now, the darkness within him would escape with it.He bit back the urge to scream as he grunted deeply, “No,” he moaned.A strange and evasive scent hit his nostrils and he stiffened. Someone was coming, someone strong and someone strange.With the internal fight that he was dealing with, there was no way he would be able to defend himself against a

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   SHADOW OF DEATH

    Relief, Release!That was all Zara felt at that moment when she heard the news. The knot that was forming in the pit of her stomach immediately loosened.“Do you have any idea what you just did?” Zara exploded in Joel’s face before she could rein it in.For a split second, she thought that she was going to get the earth-shattering news that alpha Draven was dead and that… that she couldn’t bear.How could Joel do that to her? She had never felt such crippling panic and instant relief before in her life.All this was new to her.Joel on the other hand looked confused, why was the stoic and ever-focused Zara shouting in his face like the attack was somehow his fault?“What are you talking about?” Joel asked, his eyes searching her face to try and understand what she was talking about.Zara came back to her senses when she saw the confusion on Joel’s face, “Sorry, I am sorry,” she said, wishing she hadn’t done that.If she was trying to prove to the elders that she was competent, this wa

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   THE DANGER WITHOUT

    Warrior Joel was pissed out of his mind.How could a whole him – a respected and feared warrior of the pack be reduced to nothing more than a bodyguard?Normally, being chosen to protect the alpha was one of the highest honors a warrior like himself could ever hope for.However, Joel did not consider the pale and weak outline of Draven breathing shallowly on the bed as an alpha.He was chosen to secure an invalid and he felt very disrespected.Zara must have thought that she did something honorable when she chose him for this and said he was the one that she trusted, that was the only reason Joel pretended to agree with it in the first place.Anything that could get him closer to her and make her let down her guard around him, was worthwhile but he could also not help but feel insulted.Joel stood towering over alpha Draven on his bed and a sneer was on his face, “Not so mighty now, are you? Don’t worry, before long, I will have everything you once did and Zara will also be mine… if s

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   A BOLD CHOICE

    “What is it?” Joel asked with a frown.He hated the fact that Denice had interrupted his quiet moment with him and Zara and was feeling irritated about it.Denice did not notice his displeasure, she was so busy being all caught up in her panic, “Those warriors are at the pack house, they are making a fuse, asking the elders to overrule you.”“What!” Joel exclaimed. That was not part of the plan, what the fuck did Dion think he was doing?Zara sighed as she got up, it was one trouble after the other, “Is Elder Aliya there?” she asked.“What?” Denice was confused by the question.“Elder Aliya, is she there yet?” Zara repeated.“No, no, I don’t think that I saw her there,” Denice shook her head.Zara and Joel shared a look, obviously the same idea ran through their head, they needed to get there before Elder Aliya did and made things worse.Zara moved and Joel was about to fall in step behind her when she swerved around to face him.He almost bumped into her and stopped just inches from

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   FIRST STEPS

    It had been one disaster after another, now, two attempts had been made on Zara’s life. She was not under any illusion that that was the last attempt.They were getting bolder and more brazen, soon she might get challenged publicly and that would be bad.Why did they not understand that she did not even want this role? She was just a chair warmer for alpha Draven. Or did they believe that Alpha Draven was a lost cause and that her curse had sentenced him to death?Zara pondered all these as she stood in front of the cabin where Alpha Draven was.Even Elder Aliya told her that killing herself was the only way to save alpha Draven but then Elder Aliya tried to kill her… or so she suspected.Could she trust her that dying was the only way to save the Alpha King? Was there not some other way out there?Zara had just believed Elder Aliya blindly because she thought that she had the pack’s best interest at heart but now she was not sure about that.She took a deep breath before announcing h

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   A COMMON PROBLEM

    The sound of heavy armor kept on drawing nearer and nearer.The two guards posted in front of Alpha Draven’s cabin tensed up and got into their combative stance. They were armed with spears with a dark silver tip.Joel looked around, “There are only five of us… we don’t know how many are coming.”“Our priority is alpha Draven!” Zara barked. “You two, get in there, if anybody that is not me steps through those doors, kill them!”“Aye!” the guards chorused and then ran back into the cabin and sealed the door.“Now there are only three of us,” Joel commented, reassessing the situation.“Two – ” Zara corrected and then turned to Denice, “Go, get reinforcement and bring them to protect their alpha, now!”Denice was shaking in panic, “Zara, I can’t leave you…”“Now!” Zara barked at her, cutting her off. Nothing else mattered right now except keeping Alpha Draven alive. She would not let any harm come to him.Denice shuddered at the countenance of her friend, she was not used to seeing Zara

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   A New Ally

    Denine was momentarily thrown off by the sudden tap on her shoulder.But now as she settled down to look at the man who was speaking, she was thrown off once more.Her eyes were wide with surprise as her jaw hung open and she gawked at him, she could not believe that the legendary warrior, Joel was speaking to her.For a brief second, Joel himself was confused, did he not articulate himself well? Why was Denice staring at him like he was deformed or something?“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Denice replied with effort after struggling to pull herself together. She was already angry that she had made a fool of herself in front of Joel, she did not plan to make it any worse.Joel took a deep breath and then leaned in close to Denice.Her breath caught in her throat as the handsome face and clear grey eyes loomed close to her.“I heard your call to arms. I have some information that is of grave importance to leader Zara,” he spoke slowly and clearly.Denice nodded, “Okay…” her brain was b

  • The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King   Call to Arms

    Elder Aliya was aware of Zara’s suspicious gaze but she was also aware that Zara had no basis to accuse her.She was an Elder, highly revered and respected in the pack, Zara on the other hand was a nobody beta warrior who was risen to the status of pack leader because of an unfortunate turn of events.Even though Zara undoubtedly had all the military power, Elder Aliya was still confident in her spiritual power as an elder.What mattered was that the assassin was dead and with him dead, no finger could point back to her.Zara had a similar train of thought going on in her mind as she watched the elder.Why would she do something as suspicious as killing the assassin? That meant that she must have had something to do with the assassination attempt.Zara did not have any proof and knowing how unstable things were in the pack right now, she was not in a haste to point fingers.Denice had said that she heard some of the warriors plotting against her, she did not say anything about Elder A
