Semua Bab REJECTED MATE : Bab 191 - Bab 200

Rumpel Kracknuts bared his sharp teeth and hissed. “Tell anyone about this, and I will slit your throats.”“You just murdered an innocent healer in front of two witnesses,” I snapped. “If anyone’s going to get their throat slit, it’s you.”“Well, fuck you.” Rumpel Kracknuts gave us the finger before disappearing in a puff of faerie dust.The dagger fell to the floor with a clunk.“She died for me,” Griff said, his face slack.I squeezed my eyes shut, my throat tightening with guilt. “We’d better call the enforcers.”Another knock sounded on the door, and the receptionist from earlier stepped inside. “Oh dear.” He wrung his hands. “I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience. If you keep quiet about this incident, Fitzroy will waive all charges.”I spluttered. “But this poor woman just got killed. All because she saved my mate’s life.”He clapped a hand to his chest. “All that blood. Fitzroy insists that you order new vestments from the Hatch.”“Did you hear me?” I said much louder this t

“You were in a king-sized bed with a woman sitting on your face, another one riding your dick, and your fingers stuck in two more.” I shook my head. “The memory of it is so vivid. There were another two rolling about with each other, waiting their turn.”“An orgy,” he said, his words flat.“I screamed. Demanded to know what you were doing, but you kept going.” Disgust coiled around my belly and squeezed tight. I swayed on my feet, breathing hard to settle my stomach, glad we’d been too anxious to eat.“Is that when you killed me?” he asked.“No.” I swallowed. “Half of the women scrambled off you; the other half remained. They were she-wolves who bore a grudge. They kept fucking you and hurling insults, while you were acting like you’d won a golden ticket to the Playboy Mansion.”“Cathwulf,” he whispered.My breath came in panicked gasps. “They wouldn’t stop.” My voice trembled. “Every word they said made sense. I was too big, too oafish, too ugly to attract a man. Now that I’d lost my

Griff took my hand, and I followed him on trembling legs across the cabin to the side encased in glass. The last vestiges of sunlight shone over the concrete buildings across the river, coloring the water’s surface the exact shade of gold as his eyes.My heart alternated between fluttering and spasming. This moment was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. We had not only broken Griff’s curse and discussed our deaths, but we had given each other both compassion and forgiveness. This was a clean slate on which we could write the rest of our history.A doubt niggled in the back of my mind. What if something between us went wrong? We had thwarted Hades’ attempt at destroying Griff and Shifter City, but he could always return to exact his revenge. What if Griff found me lacking?We reached the double bed, which was covered in a white velvety quilt that contrasted with its black lacquered headboard. Metal hooks hung off its sides, which were probably for tying people up. I glanced

“Feels good?” he said, his voice lilting with a smile.“More,” I cried.With a happy groan, he ran his soft, wet tongue over my nub, down my slit and to my opening. “You taste so good.”I panted, needing him to go faster, harder, but Griff seemed like he wanted to prolong the anticipation. Bucking my hips, I threaded my fingers through his hair and held him in position.He laughed. “My alpha bitch knows what she wants.”“Yes,” I said from between my bared teeth. “And I want it now.”“Cathy.” He circled my clit with his tongue.“Call me that again,” I whispered.“Cathy?”“Yes.” I hummed as he ran languid strokes that I felt across every nerve ending. My thighs trembled, but the rest of my body melted into the mattress.Griff moaned and growled as he pleasured me to a frenzy, his tongue picking up speed to match my accelerating pulse. The sensations were so intense, I thrashed about, but he wrapped his arms around my thighs and held me down.All I could do was lie there and take the ple

I glanced around, looking for a way to stop Boris from recognizing Griff. The guards at the bottom of the gangway shooed the small crowd backward to make way for the passengers. Griff curled his hand around mine, obvious to the potential danger. I tightened my grip and pulled him closer.“What’s wrong?” he asked with a frown.“There’s someone out here who will recognize you.” I nodded in the direction of the pier. One of the guards held a pair of flags and was directing the people back toward the pavement.“Who?”“Your former beta.”Griff’s head snapped to the end of the walkway, his face breaking into a smile. “Which one is he?”I swallowed hard. There was so much more to my story that I hadn’t told him. Griff knew I’d infiltrated Shifter City as a spy for Hades but had decided to betray him, but he didn’t know that Hades had sent more shifters than just me.My lips tightened into a thin line. I had no idea what Boris was doing here, of all places, or why he was accosting the other p
