All Chapters of Rejected Luna: Mated to my Alpha Brother: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

NICHOLASI nursed my bottle of whiskey, ignoring the stinging of my cheek.The bartender rushed over when he heard the slap. I could see the confusion in his eyes, but before he spoke, I barked at him to get me a bottle. I sat in the same booth that Alex had just vacated and drank straight from the bottle, relishing in the burning sensation it sent down my throat.“Would you like something to eat, sir?” the bartender asked and I shot him a dark look.He scurried off, but not before making a sound that reminded me of a squealing rat.This place brought out the worst in me and I fucking hated it.My shoulder burned as I lifted the bottle to my lips once more. The VIP section was cold, and with that chill brought the familiar heaviness in my bones.Werewolves didn’t hurt easy, and even when we did, we healed just as fast, unless silver was involved. That’s exactly what happened to my shoulder.I was on my way to do some negotiation with a pack when I was ambushed. I was eighteen and stup

EVANGELINE“I don’t know why you care so much about him,” my wolf snapped as I drove back home. “He hasn’t done anything to show that he cares about you.”“Is this about Nicholas or Alex?”“Of course it’s about Alex,” she hissed. “You didn’t have to pick him up. You didn’t have to ensure that he got home safe. You could have just left him. Goddess knows he would have done the same to you.”“I’m not him.”“Clearly. He doesn’t care about you, Eva. How many times has he left you out in the cold? How many times has he forgotten to take you home because he was with her? Why can’t you give him a taste of his own medicine for once.”I pulled the car to a stop. The conversation was getting heated and the chances of me losing control or driving into something were increasing by the second.“You should have some self-respect for once and just leave him to rot. Maybe then he-”“Do you think I don’t want to do that?” I cut her off. “Do you think I’m happy being in this stupid relationship? Becaus

EVANGELINEIt felt good to be back at the hospital. The familiar scent of antiseptic and medicine, while uncomfortable to others, grounded me.I could barely sleep all last night after everything that happened, my mind kept replaying the incidents of the day and coming up with its own interpretations. Here, I could stop thinking for a few hours because all that mattered were my patients.“Eighty five year old female in room twelve,” a nurse said as she handed me the chart. “They say you’d be best equipped to deal with her.”“Thank you. What’s she in for?”“Severe arthritis and some pain in her spine. She refuses to take any pain killers.”I headed for the room and knocked before pushing open the door.“I must say, you’re the first person to knock before coming in,” the woman drawled. “I like a well-mannered young lady.”The woman in question lay on the bed, her hands folded neatly over her stomach. Her hair was almost completely grey, but I could see wisps of what probably was beautif

MARGARETAlex’s words from earlier flashed in my mind the entire drive back.How dare he say that I was insane? He’d never spoken to me like that before, and it worried me. I wanted to scream at him, to tell him that he was wrong, but I knew better. I’d known Alex since I was a child, and I knew that it was best not to anger him at times like this.It was clear his infatuation for me was fading, and yelling would only make things worse. Right now, the only leverage I had over him was the affection he had for me from that accident. It hung over us like a noose.The last thing I wanted was for him to get irritated by it and start looking into it. My web of lies would untangle in an instant and I couldn’t have that, at least not until I made him love me for real.Right now, I had his gratitude, and he felt indebted, but that wasn’t enough. I needed him to love me, I needed him to want me, so that whenever he ultimately found out the truth, that I wasn’t the one who saved him, he wouldn’t

NICHOLAS“Where is she?” I asked the nurse as soon as I got into the hospital.The nurse was a younger girl in her early twenties. Her eyes widened when she saw me and she spluttered, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to find the words.I’d gotten used to the reactions I got from humans, but that didn’t mean it was any less annoying. As an Alpha, my wolf let out an aura that let other werewolves know who I was. For humans, it was more difficult to distinguish. They’d feel the tension, and know I was someone important, but their little minds would never be able to fully comprehend it.The stronger willed ones could ignore the pressure from our aura, but those like the girl in front of me were stunned by it.“For fucks sake,” I snapped. “Where is my grandmother. She’s in her eighties, she got in here this morning.”The annoyance in my tone snapped her out of her reverie. She quickly started typing on the laptop in front of her.“Room 312.”The words were barely out of her mouth
