Jane

I kept running and running in the dark forest before I finally heard indistinct chattering. It was low, but enough to recognize that they were voices, and not just some animals making funny sounds. I traced the voices, and they became more audible with every step I took closer to them.

I was panting heavily and badly needed to catch my breath. I had been running in my human form because my wolf was still too weak for me to shift into it. I had tried countless times to shift, but I ended up hitting the ground hard. With no choice left, I continued in my human form, determined to get to Ray.

Vishal had asked me to go to him, and I didn’t want to disobey my mate. So, even though my body was giving up and my spirit was weak, I still willed myself into running.

I ran a little more, but I hadn’t seen the log of wood lying on my path, so my foot kicked against it and I lost my balance.

I fell over it, and my body rolled down the sloppy area until I stopped in the depth of dead leaves. I

  • The Rejected Mate’s Dark Rise   EPILOGUE

    Three Years Later…Vishal’s Stance“Dude, calm down. She’ll be fine,” Scott said firmly, patting my shoulder.“They’ve been in there for hours, man. How the hell do you expect me to be calm?” I asked, standing from the chair and pacing back and forth again.The gazes from all the people here for Jane were on me; each of the thousand gazes held a good dose of sympathy and care. It meant a lot to me — they were the only reason I was still holding down a bit right now.I paced the hallway, avoiding bumping into the nurses who always walked past us in a hurry. It was the Pack’s hospital, and we’d been here since dawn.Jane’s water broke and we rushed her down here. It had already been ten hours, and still nothing. Her piercing cries of pain came at intervals, but that was just it. I’ve been unnerved by her cries and that’s why I can’t feel relaxed, not until it is all over and she gives birth to our first child safely.“Hi, Uncle Vishal,” the three-year-old Smith said in a slight prattle,

    JaneI was already out of bed before dawn, pacing the front yard and looking out for any sign of Vi.I couldn’t sleep well last night; I kept having nightmares of him getting killed by the Alpha King and never coming back to me.My repeated nightmares got rid of whatever sleep I was to get last night. I stalked out of the pack house, awaiting his return, praying hard to the moon goddess that she do me this huge favor by bringing Vishal back home to me, to us.But when the sun rose high in the sky and there was still no sign of him, I lost my cool. I was wailing and screaming his name; I couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was yet to return, and there was every chance that he might have been killed already.And it wasn’t just me who was worried and hysterical—Ella was too. Even Ray was having it as hard, but whatever agony they were feeling was nothing compared to the hell that had let loose in my heart.If Vishal doesn’t return to me anymore, then I’m surely gonna end my life with my own

    JaneIt had been a long while since I had last felt any bit of happiness. Ever since the Alpha King had separated me from my mate, I had known nothing but sorrow and tears.My heart would race with fear every time I thought that Vishal might be dead. I never stopped praying for him. I begged the moon goddess to keep him safe every single day.Through all the torture and abuse that I had been subjected to by the Alpha King, through all the pain I had had to endure, I never stopped praying for the safety of my Vishal even for a second.He was all I thought about, all I dreamt of, and when I heard he was coming for me, my heartbeat kick-started.I was so happy to know he was alive and back with his pack. My Vishal was alive! This gave me hope when I had had none left.I could already imagine being in his arms again. I just didn’t know it would happen so soon.Hearing his voice then felt like a dream. Even though I couldn’t see his face yet, I knew it was him.It was my Vi. He was here! T

    RichardThe news I had just heard sent me into a panic. I couldn’t believe that Vishal was still alive and had made it back to his pack safely. I had imagined him dead in the forest somewhere.I never thought he would be smart enough to escape my warriors and return home alive.But that wasn’t even the biggest problem right now. Luca had just told me that Vishal had discovered my location. It seemed impossible - how could he have found out about this secret island?How did he learn about it? This was very bad news. I needed to act quickly, but first, I had to understand how he had discovered this hidden place.I walked back and forth, feeling worried and unable to calm down.“How did he find out about this island?” I asked impatiently. I needed a reasonable explanation.“I’m not completely sure, but I think your Beta helped him. Vishal and your Beta seem to have formed some kind of partnership,” Luca explained.That foolish Ray! I knew it had to be him. He was the only person close en
