All Chapters of Rejected But Wanted By The Alpha King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

It was almost midnight when they returned to Jethro’s fortress. Jethro was bruised all over, and even though he had been cleaned up, the claw marks on his skin still showed. Rashel was bruised as well, and all her bones ached. The other members of the pack who fought in the battle were in similar conditions as well.Yet, nobody slept or even had time to nurse their pain. The adrenaline surge was as high as when they were on the battlefield. Milla had to be found.Rashel stood in the control room in the east wing, hair still damp from a hurried shower; she had changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. She hadn’t taken time to eat, to rest, or even to breathe properly. The only thing on her mind was finding Milla.The holographic map before h

As daylight washed over Jethro’s territory, it shone on everything in its path and offered a bright atmosphere. A striking contrast to the true disposition of almost everyone within the grounds.Everyone seemed to be recovering from the battles of the previous day. Lives had been lost, and they were in mourning. The biggest question on everybody’s mind now was if their Alpha would survive.Rashel sat hunched in the chair beside Jethro’s bed. Her fingers were wrapped tight around the armrests as her nails dug into the soft leather. She had sat there all night, just the way she did now, watching him breathe, counting each rise and fall of his chest and willing him to open his eyes. As if by thinking it, it would make him whole again.Outside that room, the world went on. Duties were carried out as they would on any regular day, and orders were being passed. Although everyone went about their duties, they carried on with a kind of solemnity that r

Rashel had grown accustomed to the steady beeping of the monitors set up in Jethro’s room. This had become her station for three days. She sat by Jethro’s bed, always watching him. Sometimes with Kael, most times she sat there alone, talking to him and willing him to open his eyes, how she missed looking into those silver eyes.For three days, Jethro had lain still, and even with his scars, he looked as striking as ever. He still filled the room; he still looked like the man of authority he was. Nothing had changed.The doctors had reassured her that he was fighting, that the silver had been taken out, and that the damage had been prevented. But she still harbored fear in her heart. She would hold her breath till he opened his eyes. She wouldn’t let herself rejoice until Jethro called her name again. So, she sat there speaking to him day and night, saying things she would never dare say to him if he were conscious.“Please don’t die on me. I don’t want Kael to grow without you, nor do

Jethro’s fortress didn’t feel much like a fortress anymore, and no matter how many guards she put on watch, Rashel didn’t feel safe anymore. The peace she thought she had found had dissipated very quickly as soon as she read Seth’s message.Rashel sat in the middle of her home office, surrounded by a half-circle of softly glowing screens. She couldn’t sleep, so she found her way to the only place that was currently keeping her sane. Outside the walls of the building, the pink streaks of daylight were yet to appear in the sky; dawn had not yet broken. So, she was the only one in the room that was usually filled with a group of people.Her fingers flew across the console in a rhythm that had become instinctive. She was inputting new commands, reconfiguring the security grid, and layering fresh codes over old ones. This had become her new routine. In the corner of her mind, the words in that message replayed over and over, even though she didn’t want to remember. That message was the ori

Merikh stood on his balcony watching the city below him; it was his favorite place to be. He always felt indispensable whenever he was here. Like he could reach out and take and keep taking. Finally, he was about to take something that belonged to him. He finally had Seth in his grasp, and in a few hours, the only obstruction between him and his dreams would be gone, and his path would be cleared.***The news reached Viola immediately after the incident. His men had called for backup, but Seth was long gone before help came.She was in her room when the message came. It was delivered by a nervous scout who could barely meet her gaze.“Alpha Seth’s convoy was hit, Luna. He… he’s missing, ma’am,” the scout stammered.Viola dismissed the scout with a flick of her fingers, hiding her reaction behind a mask of calm. On the inside, her pulse quickened and her heart beat almost ten times faster. She stood and walked to
