The Rejected Mate’s Dark Rise 66
Jane“It’s okay, June. Let me go see him,” I stated, trying to sound braver than I felt. “He won’t try anything stupid with me.”“No, that’s too dangerous,” June muttered firmly, crossing her arms. “I’m coming with you.”She looked determined, and I could see there was no point in arguing. Sharon stood nearby, quiet and nervous because of June’s earlier warning to her.“All right, let’s go,” I said with a sigh.June smiled and nodded. We walked down the long hallway to Mr. Mark’s office together. My heart was beating fast, but having June beside me made me feel stronger. I knocked on his door and waited for permission to enter.Silence.I knocked again, harder this time. Still no answer. Finally, after my third knock, his voice came from inside.“Yes, come in,” Mr. Mark called out.I opened the door and walked in with June right behind me. I made sure to close the door carefully. Mr. Mark was sitting at his large wooden desk, staring at his computer screen. The office smelled of expen

Jane.My mom’s voice on the phone made me so happy. Even though we lived far apart, hearing her talk felt like getting a warm hug.When I listened to her, all my worries went away. My mom always made me feel safe, and her voice reminded me that some things never change.“Jane, what’s wrong?” June asked loudly. “I’ve been talking to you for ten minutes, and you’re just looking at your food. What’s going on?”I looked up, surprised. “What did you say? Sorry, I wasn’t listening.”June looked worried. “That’s what I mean. Your mind is somewhere else. Are you okay? Is something bothering you?”“Sorry,” I replied, feeling bad for not listening to my best friend. “I didn’t mean to ignore you.”“Are you thinking about Vishal?” she asked with a smile. “Maybe you should call him. You always get that dreamy look when you think about him.”I shook my head. “It’s not about him. I’m worried about my mom.” The words felt heavy when I said them. “I think I caused problems between her and Dad when I d

JaneI couldn’t stop thinking about having Vishal all to myself in his hotel room. My wolf Amber was practically purring at the thought of being alone with our mate.“What are you thinking about, mate?” he asked suddenly, then took a deep breath through his nose. “I can smell how much you want me. You smell incredible, sweetheart.”My face turned bright red. He could actually smell that? “It’s your fault, Amber!” I told my wolf through our mind link. “Now he’s going to think I’m some kind of sex-crazed maniac!”“Aren’t you though?” Amber shot back with a wolfish grin. “Stop lying to yourself. We’re both dying to jump his bones.”“Vishal,” I said his name like a prayer. “I think I’m already falling in love with you.”Since I could feel how much he cared about me through our bond, I knew he felt the same way. There was no point in hiding my feelings.“I love you more than you could ever know,” he said immediately. “I’ve been in love with you since the day we first met.”My heart nearly

Jane“I live about ten minutes from here,” I said breathlessly. “With June.”“Show me,” he said, his voice rough with desire.I nodded and smiled back. “Of course, Vishal. Let’s go.”As we walked through the dark streets, our hands intertwined, I couldn’t help but think that maybe this was my chance at real happiness. Maybe the Moon Goddess was finally giving me the mate I deserved.But in the back of my mind, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my past was about to catch up with me. And when it did, it might destroy everything - including this perfect moment with the man who was meant to be mine.“This is where you live?” Vishal asked when we stopped in front of our building.I could see the shock in his eyes. The building looked like it was falling apart, with peeling paint and cracked windows. I knew it wasn’t much, but it was all June and I could afford.“Yes,” I said, feeling embarrassed. “Do you have a problem with where I live?”“No, of course not,” he said quickly, but I could h

Jane“Let go of me!” I screamed, my wolf clawing to get out. “I’ll handle this myself, Amber.” I shoved her away and pushed the king as hard as I could.He fell backward onto the floor, and everything happened in a blur. I saw a small fruit knife on his desk next to the bed.Without thinking, I grabbed it and slashed it across his throat. Blood poured out everywhere.“You...” he tried to say, pointing a shaking finger at me before his body went still. Good. Rot in hell, you bastard. I was finally free.I had to move fast. The guards hadn’t come running, which meant his room must be soundproof. That was the only reason they hadn’t heard our fight. This was my only chance to escape.I grabbed my cleaning bucket and quietly slipped out of his room, trying to look normal. My heart was pounding so hard I was sure everyone could hear it. I dropped the bucket and ran to find June.“June,” I whispered urgently when I found her scrubbing floors in the hallway. “Come here. I need to tell you so

Jane.I continued working, focusing on cleaning the dust from his furniture. Suddenly, Richard grabbed my hand and pulled me around to face him.“Are you not listening to me?” he demanded. “Why aren’t you answering when I speak to you?”I acted as if I couldn’t hear him at all, keeping my face blank and emotionless.“Are you deaf? Can’t you hear that I’m talking to you?” he said, his voice getting louder and more frustrated.I continued to play deaf and mute. I refused to look into his eyes or give him any reaction at all.“Keep pretending you can’t hear me, you stubborn woman,” he said angrily before finally letting go of my arm. “I understand your anger. Fine, I won’t bother you anymore. Just finish your work, maid.”He stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I quickly finished cleaning and left his bedroom as fast as I could. What a terrible day this had been.“Jane, where have you been?” June asked when she saw me coming down the hallway. “I’ve been looking everywhe
