All Chapters of Rejected, Pregnant And Claimed : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ZAND If intense looks could end a life, I would already be buried deep in the dirt.I kept my eyes locked on Hawk until he finally turned and walked away.He was not going to move very far from here.I was not his leader, and he did not have to follow my rules, but he knew how to pretend he was obeying me.I could not blame the man for wanting to protect Amia.Still, I was never going to let him step in and take her away from me.“I like the dress,” I said.“Do you? I plan on tearing shreds as soon as this ball is over.”I knew she would despise the outfit.I also knew it would make her look incredible.“I will happily assist you with that. I just have one question. What will you wear afterward?”She stopped moving right in her tracks.I could tell she just realized that I had not given her any actual clothes to wear.I had plenty of outfits waiting for her.I bought her an entire wardrobe the moment I found out she had escaped and was on the run.Even so, I did not mind keeping thos

AMIA "Would you like to dance for old time’s sake?"I looked up from my seat at the table and stared directly into my king's eyes.As soon as the bond was tied, Zand pulled away from me.He spent almost all of his time talking with Valor.Plates of food kept passing right by my table.Luna stayed by my side and chatted with me for a while.Nobody was actually dancing in the room.It felt less like a celebration and much more like a funeral or a party for a lost cause.I offered him my hand without saying a word and stood up.His eyes shone with a clear light of mischief."You stay graceful, even when you secretly want to scratch my eyes out.""I have no idea what you are talking about, Your Majesty, because I trust your choices completely," I said, forcing the words through my tight teeth.We walked out onto the empty dance floor together.His right hand rested on my hip while his other hand held mine firmly.I had danced with him for so many years that his touch felt completely fami

AMIA“What?” I stared at him with my mouth open, unable to hide how shocked I was.He was not going to think about it for even a second.“We cannot even talk about it?” I asked.“No. I need to see your wolf,” Zand said.“No,” I replied.He stared back at me with cold eyes. “Do I need to use an Alpha command on you?”He could try, but doing that would only expose one of my hidden secrets.“Omegas always struggle with their inner wolves, and you already know that. I do not shift easily,” I lied, trying to sound convincing. “My wolf has white fur with yellow undertones. You will recognize her by her scent and the plain fact that she smells like a weak omega. I do not think you have many of them running around here.”“King Orion would never allow any wolf in his pack that he could not command,” Zand growled at me. “Are you going to keep lying to my face?”“You talk as if you actually know anything about King Orion, but you do not. Besides, I never said he could not command my wolf. I said

ZAND They turned and melted out into the dark night.They were naturally good at hiding themselves from view.They were also great at stalking and hunting their prey down.Their previous alpha had refused to feed them when they needed it.They realized that hunting on their own was their only option left.So they learned to adapt and survive.It was too late for many things, but they learned the lesson well.Now they would not have to hunt ever again unless their wolves wanted to.Their dramatic reactions did not surprise me at all.They would not be the only ones who reacted in that exact way.By now, almost everyone in the territory knew that the King had been here.I had not been worried that anyone in the pack would snoop around.Avoiding major authority figures was deep in their nature.There was no fake fawning over the King in this specific pack.The only real exception was the small handful of juveniles.They were still young enough that their previous alpha had not completel

AMIA I smiled a little as she sat down on the edge of my mattress and gave me a hopeful look."You do know that I have a wild, unbroken wolf inside me that badly injured two of your own pack members. Most people get scared when they find out about that.""Please. This is Frostbite Ridge. You are definitely not the first wild wolf I have ever met. Alpha Malik kept a few of them locked up to use like weapons. Zand took care of that whole situation," she said, her voice dropping a bit into sadness."That is why I am actually surprised he decided to take you in. But anyway, the human side and the wolf side are two completely different things. Just because your wolf is wild does not mean that you are a bad person. You obviously know that. I am just telling you that I understand it too.""How very open-minded of you," I muttered as I slid out of bed and tried to balance on my feet.Zand was known for hunting down wild wolves, and that was terrible news for my survival."So, are we actually
