All Chapters of The Rejected Beta and Her Cursed Lycan King: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zara braced, the attack could come anytime, if this new assailant was anything like any of the two she had just faced then she didn’t have to worry about him using a silver weapon.Just some very painful steel.“What the hell happened here?” Zara heard the voice and recognized it before she smelled his scent.Joel knew exactly what happened there; in fact, he orchestrated it all, and to his disappointment, it had failed once again.This was him cleverly playing the part of ignorance to absorb himself of blame.Relief flooded through Zara as she spun around, “Joel!” she called out happily.He looked utterly surprised—at least he was not faking that. Joel was surprised that the failed hunters were able to deal such damage that it would force Zara to transform and decimate them.Was it because they were that good or did something else happen tonight?Zara was not sufficiently injured for him to risk attacking her himself, combat wise, she still surpassed him and Joel was not going to mak

Joel didn’t recognize the man in the cowboy hat but there was no doubt in his mind that he was connected with the man he had made a deal with.The plan was to send as many hunters as possible to kill Zara but the idiot sent only two and now Zara had killed those two and he had gotten himself involved, More hunters had shown up.There was no doubt in his mind that if these hunters caught up with him and Zara, there would be no explaining himself out of the situation.Right now, he was just as fucked as Zara was. His survival was tied to Zara – until they got rid of these hunters, he needed her alive.The horses were closing in on them as they made it to the outskirts of Rez Town, Joel looked over his shoulders – five horsemen were coming after them.“We are out of the town, we can take them now!” he yelled to be heard above the pounding hoofs.Zara stopped and listened to what Joel was saying, he had a point, they were no longer in Rez Town and it didn’t look like there would be any mo

“What the fuck was that?” Joel said in disbelief, “What the fuck was that thing?” he shouted the second time.Goose bumps were all over his body and he was physically shaking.Zara was still frozen, her eyes fixed on the head of Beta Fen, the look of suspended horror on the dead face had her spellbound.Joel was shaking his head, everything about taking Zara out was forgotten, right now, he wanted nothing more but the safety of his pack, he was scared to death.“We need to get out of here,” he said to no one in particular.“We should go after him,” Zara said breaking out of her spell. There was so much uncertainty in her voice.“What?” Joel looked at Zara as if she were insane, “Have you lost your mind?”Zara looked at him, “We can’t let that get away… that is the only proof that I am not mad.”“You must be mad if you think that I would go anywhere close to that. Zara, that was the devil itself! You expect us to go after the devil?”“That’s… that’s…” even Zara could not rationalize wh

“Who?” Zara asked.“What do you mean who?” Dencie shrieked in terror. Was her panicked state not enough to tell her friend who she was talking about?Zara's gaze narrowed as she tried to figure out who Denice was talking about.Why was she this scared? The last time she saw her in a somewhat similar state was when alpha Draven had slept over at their house… “Wait,” her eyebrows widened in shock, “Is it him?”Denice nodded wordlessly. She was still trembling like a leaf.Zara gasped in disbelief and before she knew it, she was sprinting past her friend, she came to a stop at the stable doors, “Where?”“Our cabin,” Denice muttered, she was out of breath.Now that Zara was back in one piece, maybe the nightmare would finally be over.Zara ran through the pack with the wind in her face and joy in her heart.If what Denice said was true, Alpha Draven was okay now, he was in her cabin waiting for her – all was well?She did not know, she did not care in that moment all she wanted was to be

First, Zara was flabbergasted, too shocked to understand what she had just read but then she read it again and then again, each time, the message became more and clearer to her.Then she looked at Denice's necklace in her hand.Denice had told her that it was all she had left of her mother… Zara’s palms slowly wrapped around the necklace and her breathing started getting shallow.Anger, bright red anger like she had never experienced before coursed through her veins and she felt as if her body was going to explode from the rage she was feeling.Who?Who would do something like this?Why would someone do something like this? At this point, she was shaking uncontrollably to the point that she caught the attention of some of the members of the tavern as they began to stare at her.Zara walked slowly with deep breaths, out of the tavern, without thinking about it, she headed straight to Elder Aliya’s house.That woman had wanted her dead for a very long time, she had sent assassins after
