All Chapters of Rejected, Pregnant And Claimed : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ZAND “Mother, wait!”I cursed my bad luck as I followed the small woman who had raised me out of the house.Her anger came off her in heavy waves, and I hated knowing that I had hurt her feelings.“Just take me to where I will be staying,” she said as she finally stopped walking.“It has been a very long journey, and I am exhausted.”I kissed the top of her head, wrapped my arms around her, and held her close.“I will provide a guard to escort you back home tomorrow.”“Home?”She smacked my arm and pushed me away.“I am not going home. Were you even listening to me? I do not know what silly game you are playing here, but you will stop it right now. You have a lovely omega living here, no matter where she came from, and she is carrying your pup. You need to focus on what is truly important, and I am going to stay right here until I am certain your head is straight.”“Ow.”I rubbed my sore arm.“I am an alpha, Mother. You cannot just walk around hitting me.”“Just watch me!”I could no

AMIARun.Run to peace.Run to freedom.My lungs burned as my wolf ran through the trees with only freedom in mind.Away from the pain, away from the scorn, away from the responsibilities, just run until there was joy again."Amia."Recognizing her name, my wolf stopped short and swiveled her head toward the sound.Snapping her teeth, she growled a low warning as one of the males slowly approached her.He posed no threat to her in human form, but in his hand was the most delicious-smelling slab of beef.Her mouth drooled."You really are a pretty wolf, aren’t you?" he remarked as he sat down."I just finished making a late lunch before I laid down for a nap.""I’m happy to share it with you if you want to lay down calmly and eat with me."She snapped again.She didn’t need to eat with him.She could just eat him, steak and all, and be on her way."I don’t know where you’re going, but we both know you won’t get far.""You belong to him.""You know it more than your person does, and you

AMIA "Rose? Lily? Amia, here. Reporting for duty. I know there is a sign-up sheet, but I had free time and wanted to get my hands dirty."The strange, hot moisture inside the Glass Gardens hit my face, and I let out a slow breath."Okay, I admit that I also came here because I wanted to stay warm. I hope that does not count against me.""We all do it. Otherwise, I do not think many people would help out here."An older woman walked down the row toward me while holding a watering can.Her face looked familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen her before."That is good to know," I said. "I am Amia."The woman laughed softly."Your scent tells us who you are, my dear. That and the big rumors going around the pack. My name is Elena.""That would be my sister."A messy-looking wolf walked over from the other side and smiled at me.It was Frank, the wolf who managed the Supply Depot."Omega Amia, it is good to see you. On Mondays, we offer our help."Elena made a quick sound."Whe

ZAND "Our pups could grow up together," Valor said as we walked back from The Healing Den.My mother, Amia, and Luna had stayed behind.They were probably having one of Amia’s famous dance parties.Valor and I were heading to the Alpha Manor."If you’d stop hiding things from us," he added.Anxiety tightened in my gut.I was not sure how this meeting would go.I had a feeling that if Luna had not come, Valor would not be so pleasant.He was furious that I had not mentioned the progress I already made."We were not allies then.""We were when you discussed the road.""No, we were not.""We were discussing an alliance.""If you had turned me down, the last thing I would have done was reveal the progress I had already made."I glanced at Valor.I knew he understood my point, but he still did not like it."Now that we are allies, I can and am sharing more about my pack."I was sharing more, but not everything.For the last few days, I feared King Orion would show up with Valor while my m

ZAND Amia fell asleep in a few minutes, looking as if she had not gone through a scary attack just hours ago.It might have been pure tiredness, or it was the tea my mother made for her that had a few pain pills mixed in because Amia refused everything Piper tried to give her.It could also be that she wrongly believed she was fully safe in her bed.The light from the moon fell over her face, and deep anger mixed with strong fear started to burn inside me again.I had not felt these dark feelings in many years, but around Amia, they always came back.Earlier today, someone almost managed to snatch her away from me.If Alpha Jax and his group had not arrived right when they did, I might not have reached her in time.My mother would have fought to the death to keep her safe, and those men would have carried Amia off to a place where I could never track her down.Tonight, my closest warriors were stationed all around the visitors' lodges and my main home so that if I had to leave, Amia
