Chapter 18

Zen

“You have decided to execute her?” If there was a way to describe shock, Bryon's face captured the expression perfectly.

“She is no good,” I said with a sigh, “she only keeps getting in the way.” My mind kept replaying the way her body had charged with a strange current that made me weak with fear. She had flung me across like I weighed nothing.

“You have goosebumps,” Bryon remarked.

I put my arms behind me. “It's nothing.”

“Did something happen?” asked Bryon, who was not buying my ‘I was done with Estelle story’.

“Why do you keep asking questions? Do you not want to see her gone?” I snapped.

“Of course,” he said but I sensed that he was not done.

“Alpha Ken wants her,” Bryon had his hands in his pocket, “he will exchange her for more access to his trade routes.” Bryon was watching me, waiting for me to charge at him angrily for even suggesting that I sell Estelle. But it was not Estelle that would suffer—it was the rather foolish Japheth who had no idea what s

  • The Rejected Heiress    20. Mine

    Chapter 20 Zen I had been walking around the grounds when I saw Estelle by herself by the pool. I had been drawn to speak to her but what was I to say? I had been rather erratic lately going from stopping her from self harm to trying to kill her. I was at my wits end on what to do with Estelle. I did not know if I ought to kill her or keep her. Or perhaps do as Bryon said and give her away so she was no longer my problem. I watched her as she walked carefully around the edge of the pool. In times like now I wanted to forget about the monster she could become or that she already was and swoop her into my arms. She looked ethereal as always this evening. Her slender frame was graceful. From where I stood she looked like an angel that could do no harm. “Stop fighting this,” my wolf said. “You must be wrong,” I said softly, “she cannot be my mate.” “Then it does not bother you that Ken is flirting with her right now? Why is he on his knees?” I blinked rapidly. I had been so focused

  • The Rejected Heiress    19. A Proposal

    I sat on the edge of the marble pool with my legs dangling in the water, watching the ripples move away from my skin. The moonlight made the garden look very bright that I could see the different colors of the flowers even though it was late at night. My neck still felt a bit sore from where the axe had almost touched me. I kept thinking about the way Zen had looked at me when he realized he couldn't kill me. He knew I was his mate, but he was still refusing to reject me.Fuck him.The garden was quiet other than the sound of the water splashing against the sides of the pool. I liked the fact that I was alone for once. I looked at my reflection in the dark water and sighed, quite exhausted from how eventful today had been. My mind drifted towards home for a bit. I should have been on a honeymoon period with my mate but my stupid twin stole him away. Was it even stealing him when he wanted her too?Really, I didn’t get it, and it hurt. "It is a bit late for a swim, don't you think?"

  • The Rejected Heiress    17. Hallucinations?

    Chapter 17 ...Estelle’s POVI was froth with restlessness since parting with Bryon on the dance floor. I did not know what it was about him that made me want to drive my fist into his mouth. “Older brothers are that way,” I looked around to check if there was anyone besides me in the small room in which I slept, “they always drive you crazy.” “I've had too many drinks tonight,” I said out loud, standing up from my bed. I had to walk off the alcohol. I would have been really drunk if I had begun to hear voices now. I stumbled out of my room and swayed my way out of the pack house and into one of the surrounding gardens. “Bryon is…” “Damn it!” I cursed out loud, looking around again to see if I was alone. I was but the voice appeared to have followed me. “Moon goddess,” I said, folding my hands and looking up to pray to the moon, “I will never…” But the moon was an unusual colour and shape, considering there was a half moon earlier in the night. Now the moon was Crescent and

  • The Rejected Heiress    16. Pure

    Chapter 16 ...Bryon’s POVEstelle made me crazy and not with love, not even an iota of such a useless feeling. In fact I could not understand what was so great about her besides her looks that made Zen want to keep her around. The one thing I knew though was that I was going to make her pay for her blatant rudeness. She had to learn her place. “Fucking cunt!” I screamed into the empty night as I stepped into one of the small gardens planted around the ballroom.“If you're any louder, you'll disturb the party,” a small voice spoke. The voice sounded close to him. He looked around him and saw a lone woman standing just a few feet away from him. She appeared to be admiring the star blanketed sky. “Why should you care? You're not inside anyway,” I scoffed, turning away, ready to walk to somewhere I could be alone. “I am talking about the party here,” she had a calm voice that was such a contrast to the turmoil in my soul. “You've got to be kidding,” he muttered more to himself tha

  • The Rejected Heiress    15. The Banquet II

    Chapter 15 Estelle The banquet hall was cool but the tension between Zen and Bryon made it so much colder. It did not help that I was dressed in a cream lace see through fabric that clung to my curves as though for dear life. Zen’s group of stylists had literally constructed the dress on my body. The dress was sexy and elegant at the same time. Even when I lived in my father's house, I did not have access to this type of wear. Everything from my hair which was in a fashionable bun and set in small diamonds to my feet which was strapped in gold stilettos had been carefully thought out. I had never felt this confident about my looks as I did tonight. But my confidence could not save me from Bryon's anger. “It is a matter that concerns…” Bryon was still trying to get Zen to speak to him privately but Zen was not taking the bait, “then it can wait. We have important guests. It would be impolite to step out for a private conversation.” Bryon was seething in anger and he took it out on
