All Chapters of The Rejected plump omega becomes his obsession: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41 Rowan I dropped to one knee and put my face closer to the carpet where the scuff marks were. Stranger. Fear. The chemical. Maeve’s scent tangled through all of it and already fading. Whoever took her had been careful but not careful enough. They had been in this room while I was downstairs playing politics. They had watched her. They had waited until I was gone.I stood and walked the perimeter of the room like I could still catch them if I just looked hard enough. Bathroom empty. Closet empty. Window still locked from the inside. No broken glass. No forced entry. They had walked in after I left and locked the door again behind them. The compound’s safe perimeter was a joke. Someone inside had either helped or looked the other way. My wolf wanted blood. I wanted answers.I pulled out my own phone and called the security line. It rang four times before a nervous voice answered. I did not bother with hello.“Pull the camera feeds for the east wing hallway and my room for th

Chapter 43Zayne “When no one is watching close, I send you to the guards. You distract him. Keep him busy. Talk about anything. Flirt if you have to. Just keep his eyes off the screens long enough for me to clear whatever is left of the footage. While you do that I move her. Fast. Back to their room. Untie her. Put her in their tub so it looks like she passed out there after whatever chemical you used. Then I come down to security and finish cleaning it. We meet back here after and hope it holds.”Mia stared at Maeve for a long second. “She might wake up while you move her.”“Then we deal with it. But if we leave her here we are finished. Both of us.”I went back out into the main room first and left the bathroom door open just enough. Mia followed after a minute, face still tight with anger. We walked the hall together, nodded at a couple of guards, made sure at least three people saw us leave the room. I talked a little louder than usual about the meeting and how Rowan had lost it

Chapter 45Maeve I woke up heavy, like someone had poured wet sand into my bones and left it there to dry. My head throbbed in slow waves and the light in the room felt too bright even with my eyes half closed. The sheets under me were soft and smelled like Rowan. I tried to sit up and my arms shook so hard I dropped back against the pillows.Rowan was right there. He sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, watching me like he expected me to vanish if he blinked. His eyes looked darker than usual and the muscle in his jaw kept jumping.“Hey,” he said, voice low and rough. “Easy. You’re okay.”I licked my lips and they felt dry. “What happened?”“You tell me.” He leaned in a little closer, not touching yet. “You were in the tub. Chemical smell everywhere. I found you and brought you here. You’ve been out for a while.”I closed my eyes and tried to pull the pieces together. Cold floor. Tight fabric biting into my wrists. The chemical stink that made everything spin. And under

Chapter 47 Rowan I let the silence sit for a bit. He broke it first.“You pulled every guard from that night into a room. People are talking. What is this about.”“It is about the blackout. And about Maeve ending up in a tub full of chemical with her wrists marked and someone else’s scent on her skin.”His jaw tightened. “I already told you what the feeds showed. Nothing moved.”“You checked them yourself. Twice. That is what you said.”“Yes.”“Walk me through your night. From the meeting until I found her.”He started talking. Left the meeting with Mia. Walked the halls. Talked to three people. Went back to security. Checked the feeds after the glitch. Cleaned the recovery because the system was still messed up. Nothing was there. He said it all in a steady voice but his eyes kept moving. Left side of the room. My face. The door. Back to my face.“You and Mia were together the whole time,” I said.“Yes.”“She never left your side.”“That is what I said.”I nodded once. “Interesting

Chapter 49 Rowan I pushed her robe off her shoulders. It pooled around her waist. She was naked underneath. All that soft skin. All those curves. I couldn't stop touching her.She was so beautiful. Not like the women I'd been with before. Not thin or hard or polished. She was soft and warm and real. Her body was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen."I want to taste you," I said. "Everywhere."She looked at me with wide eyes. "You don't have to. I know I'm not... I'm not what you're used to.""What are you talking about?""I'm not thin. I'm not elegant. I'm just...""You're perfect." I moved my hand down her back. Down over the curve of her ass. Squeezed gently. "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. The most real. The most honest. And I want every single inch of you."She was crying. I didn't know when she'd started but tears were streaming down her face and she was trying to hide them.I kissed her tears away. "Don't hide from me. I love you. Every part of you. Especi
