All Chapters of The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Denine was momentarily thrown off by the sudden tap on her shoulder.But now as she settled down to look at the man who was speaking, she was thrown off once more.Her eyes were wide with surprise as her jaw hung open and she gawked at him, she could not believe that the legendary warrior, Joel was speaking to her.For a brief second, Joel himself was confused, did he not articulate himself well? Why was Denice staring at him like he was deformed or something?“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Denice replied with effort after struggling to pull herself together. She was already angry that she had made a fool of herself in front of Joel, she did not plan to make it any worse.Joel took a deep breath and then leaned in close to Denice.Her breath caught in her throat as the handsome face and clear grey eyes loomed close to her.“I heard your call to arms. I have some information that is of grave importance to leader Zara,” he spoke slowly and clearly.Denice nodded, “Okay…” her brain was b

It had been one disaster after another, now, two attempts had been made on Zara’s life. She was not under any illusion that that was the last attempt.They were getting bolder and more brazen, soon she might get challenged publicly and that would be bad.Why did they not understand that she did not even want this role? She was just a chair warmer for alpha Draven. Or did they believe that Alpha Draven was a lost cause and that her curse had sentenced him to death?Zara pondered all these as she stood in front of the cabin where Alpha Draven was.Even Elder Aliya told her that killing herself was the only way to save alpha Draven but then Elder Aliya tried to kill her… or so she suspected.Could she trust her that dying was the only way to save the Alpha King? Was there not some other way out there?Zara had just believed Elder Aliya blindly because she thought that she had the pack’s best interest at heart but now she was not sure about that.She took a deep breath before announcing h

Warrior Joel was pissed out of his mind.How could a whole him – a respected and feared warrior of the pack be reduced to nothing more than a bodyguard?Normally, being chosen to protect the alpha was one of the highest honors a warrior like himself could ever hope for.However, Joel did not consider the pale and weak outline of Draven breathing shallowly on the bed as an alpha.He was chosen to secure an invalid and he felt very disrespected.Zara must have thought that she did something honorable when she chose him for this and said he was the one that she trusted, that was the only reason Joel pretended to agree with it in the first place.Anything that could get him closer to her and make her let down her guard around him, was worthwhile but he could also not help but feel insulted.Joel stood towering over alpha Draven on his bed and a sneer was on his face, “Not so mighty now, are you? Don’t worry, before long, I will have everything you once did and Zara will also be mine… if s

“You don’t know?” Joel was beyond belief.All the confidence from earlier was gone. As Zara stood there with the scent of pine trees filling the evening air, she felt a paralyzing helplessness.“What do you mean, you don’t know?” Joel pressed on.Zara was not making any sense to him, “Is this because of what the White Seer said?”He too had to admit to himself that the whole occurrence was eerie and just thinking of it made his skin jump.“Now is not the time for you to be spacing out and not knowing what to do. Alpha Draven put you in charge… act like it!” he yelled at her.As much as he wanted to be in her shoes, he didn’t envy her right now. He would fill her shoes when they didn’t have threats coming at them from left and right, right now he needed Zara to help them out of this, even if it was the last thing she did.Zara felt a jolt of energy course through her. Joel’s harsh words snapped her out of her paralysis.Her pack was in dire danger, now was not the time to be doubting o

The blood drained from Denice's face when she heard Zara say, “But, but… were you not able to reach an agreement?” she could not help but ask.“What did he ask for?” Joel asked right after her.Zara was drenched from head to toe and her mind was already racing as she stood there, “They wanted us to hand alpha Draven over,” she answered.“What?” the shock in Denice's voice was as clear as the rumbling in the skies above.“Those rogue bastards!” Joel snarled.Zara was deaf to their responses, what was going on in her head was the ultimatum. She told the leader she would give him one day to pull his troops and retreat and she intended to honor her word.But the rogues were not exactly known for being trustworthy, even though the leader told her he would also give her a day, there was a very high chance that he and his men would attack much sooner than that.“Joel, rally the men… fortify the defenses, they will be coming any moment from now,” she said.Joel nodded and darted off into the
