Semua Bab REJECTED MATE : Bab 161 - Bab 170

The phone rang, and a video played that showed the highlights of Shifter City and invited people to apply for a home, a job, a new life free from humans and corrupt supernaturals.Griff scooted around the table to the seat next to mine and peered over my shoulder. “What’s this?”I clicked away from the recorded video message, brought up Griff’s contacts, hoping to find a number for Randel, Lydia, or the twins. At the top was an entry for Fenrir.“He gave me his personal number?” he asked, his voice breathy with pride.“You’re the alpha of his special pack,” I said with a shrug and tapped the button to call Fenrir.Griff frowned. “You mean us.”“Just you.”“Doesn’t that make you the alpha female?” he asked.Fenrir’s face filled the phone. “Cathwulf, report.”“My Lord.” Griff pushed his way forward.The wolf god’s lips curled into a gentle smile. “It is good to see you looking healthy. Did they treat you well in the hospital?”“Yes,” Griff gushed. “Thank you for paying for my stay.”I t

“Not even her mate?” I asked, my brows raised.“Have you done anything like this before?”Heat rose to my cheeks, and I dropped my gaze to the carpeted floor. Griff and I hadn’t gotten that far, considering we’d only been together for one night. He’d spent the entire time fucking me so hard to ensure that I was submissive enough to give up my alpha power.“I know what to do, if that’s what you’re asking,” I said with a tiny smile.He cupped the side of my face. “Are you sure you want to do this?”I met his gaze, which radiated confusion. Raising a hand to smooth out his furrowed brow, I gave him what I thought would be a confident smile. “I want to try it.”Griff took my hand and led me through the cabin, passing the sofa and dining table until we reached the bed. He grabbed a couple of cushions and placed them on the floor.“What’s this?”“If Cathwulf Aibek wants to suck my cock, I’d better make it comfortable.”“Stop talking about me like I’m some great alpha,” I muttered, my gaze d

I sucked in a deep breath, trying to stop Griff’s words from echoing through my skull. He lay opposite me on the mattress, his amber eyes gazing into mine. From the giddy smile curving his lips, it looked like he had meant every word.My lips parted, but all I could do was exhale. Maybe that trip to the cinema had been a turning point in our relationship that I had ruined out of a sense of wanting control, but this blowjob I’d given him just sent us down a path of intimacy that would lead to love.If I didn’t slow things down between us, he would feel even more betrayed when he regained the memory of his death. I whispered, “Griff—”“I already know your response,” he said. “It’s impossible for someone to feel love after getting their cock sucked, but I’ve admired you for over a year. And I know you feel the same.”“That’s not it,” I said.He flinched backward and stared at me as though struck.The train sped through the tunnel under the sea, casting a range of colored light through th

She tilted her head from side to side, which was her way of expressing maybe.“You’re saying that some of them wanted me?”She nodded.“Why didn't you say something?”She flicked her head toward the door.“Because you already wanted Griff?”Beki pushed against our bond, sending me a wave of annoyance. She didn’t have to express what she wanted to tell me in words. I was being an idiot.Part of me had fallen for Griff the moment our eyes locked. He was handsome and stylish and had a way about him that was different from usual wolves in Logris.Griff had been cultured, sophisticated, and full of exciting stories about his overseas exploits. Exploits that I now knew were either exaggerated or false. And he had the nerve to criticize me for acting a certain way?“What was I supposed to do?” I spat. “Mould my personality around his, the way he molded the truth to grab my attention?”Becki shook her head. My wolf wasn’t agreeing or disagreeing. I guess she was stuck in the middle, caught be

For the next several hours of our journey, we focused on acquainting ourselves with 2021 and how Logris had split itself into eight villages, each occupying different locations across London. We also searched Supernatural Media and found the casino where his father had gotten into trouble with the faeries.We arrived at London Central station at six in the evening, which was peak rush hour for both humans and supernaturals. Everyone disembarked, flooding a platform that was equally as grand as the one in Atlantis Central.Brass lights hung down from above, looking like tiny balls of sunlight, and some of the pillars supporting its vaulted ceilings contained tiles that formed part of the murals that decorated the station. Artistic renditions of angels flew above us, with demons, vampires, and faeries occupying the walls.I glanced around for images of the so-called lesser supernaturals—mages, witches, and shifters—but there was nothing apart from a few ordinary-looking people on the mu
