All Chapters of The Crowned and The Rejected: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Zara’s POVLoud moans filled the room, followed by the loud sounds of flesh slapping against each other. Cries of pleasure filled the room while I struggled to push down the searing pain from the mate bond in me. It burned through me, and every thrust spread through me like a burning fire. I was strapped to a chair as I watched my fated mate fuck his mistress right in my presence.I tried to look away, but the memories of both of them were forever etched into my memory, and no matter how much I closed my eyes, I couldn’t stop seeing them, and the loud moans were making it worse.“Don’t be shy now, Zee. Watch how much he loves being inside of me, don’t you dare shy away now.” Karen moaned out; the loud skin sounds had reduced now. She knew I hated it when she called me Zee; she lost that right months ago when she decided to take everything that was mine.Karen and I used to be inseparable—best friends—until everything changed for the worse. When I lost my whole family in a rogue attack

Zara’s POVI felt the water being emptied on my body, and that jolted me awake instantly. I sat up in fear and watched a grinning Karen stare down at me, holding an empty bucket. She looked satisfied with the reaction I gave her.“Since your alarm didn’t wake you up when I needed you, that’s what you get fr sleeping like a damn pig. Get your ass up, and follow me,” She said smugly, and I got up without another word. The cold wind hit my wet skin as soon as we stepped out of the room, and I wrapped my hands around me instinctively. It was night already, and I wondered what they needed me for again. Perhaps another round of torture.“The Alpha king is visiting our pack tomorrow for the regional pack visitation, and Jeremy wants you to prepare the meals ahead of time. Your special delicacies, and he said to mention that his mom would be in attendance too, so you better not embarrass this family.” She announced as she walked ahead of me, and I didn’t bother arguing. It would only cause mo

Nikolai’s POVI carried the barely conscious girl out of the shed, and I screamed at the Alpha, asking where the infirmary was located. I barely registered any location since we started the tour because the smell kept messing with me. Noctis won’t stop pacing in my head, and I desperately hope that she will be okay. I hurriedly followed the now stuttering Alpha to the infirmary, and I refused to hand her over to the nurses who rushed to take her from me. As far as I was concerned, all of them here were guilty of maltreating her, and until I found out who she was and how she got in that shed, I wasn’t letting down my guard for anyone.An elderly doctor soon appeared and led me to an empty room, where I gently placed her on the bed. I looked around the room, it wasn’t the standard of the Capital’s hospital, but this would do. I stood firmly as I watched him examine her, before grabbing some supplies from the cabinet. He rubbed some alcohol on her arm before inserting a cannula, and I wa

Nikolai's POV I paced around the quarters prepared for us, and Beta Williams looked irritated, standing by the door. The rest of the men who came with me stood in the sitting room, waiting to hear from us. I tried to control my anger, goddess knew I did, until I saw that bastard try to kill my mate. “Why didn’t you let me just rip out his stupid heart and feed them to the pigs?” I gritted out, and Beta Williams only sighed. He couldn’t come up with a defense this time for Alpha Jeremy. I knew he was unhinged; I didn’t realize he was that unhinged, crazy enough actually to try to kill her. The woman with the needle still hasn’t told us who sent her with the needle, and judging by her stupid alpha’s actions now, it’s not hard to connect the dots. “I finally got the information you need. The palace just sent a file on her, and I don’t think you’re going to like any of these.” Beta Williams cleared his throat, stretching the tablet towards me, and I took it from him. I skimmed through
