All Chapters of Rejected, Pregnant And Claimed : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

AMIA "Freya and Brock told me about Malik," I said. "A lot of people have opened up to me about Malik, a lot of people except you."Zand looked at me as we walked toward Gideon's house.He had been acting strange since our last training session.I was waiting for him to say he felt disgusted by my past.Maybe I did not give him the chance to say it.Whenever he tried to talk about it, I sat on his lap and kissed him.It was easier and much more enjoyable."What do you want me to say?" he asked. "The man was a monster. I killed him. I do not regret it, and I do not need to heal from it."When I stayed quiet, he looked down at me and frowned."I have killed a lot of wolves, Amia. Does that bother you?""Most alphas have killed people. King Orion certainly had a high body count," I said with a shrug."But this was very personal for many wolves. You said you had trouble leading this pack, but you were wrong. No one has left you, so you were proven wrong. They just have trust issues, whic

ZAND He had died in his sleep.I had never met a wolf who had not died in battle.As I stood at the edge of his bed and stared down at Alpha Eldric, I could not help the heavy wave of conflicting emotions inside me.Did he deserve to die peacefully after letting Malik torture this pack for a whole decade?Did everything he put into motion, getting me here, really wash away the years of turning a blind eye?When I had taken over, I knew Alpha Eldric was not long for this world, so he was not on my kill list.Plus, I had needed him alive for a smooth transition.After feeling my power, he was the first to figure out who I was.Instead of selling me out, he supported me and my plan.He wanted greatness for Frostbite Ridge, and he knew I was the one who could achieve it.While he suspected he would never live long enough to see the plan actually happen, I had gotten used to his company.I had gotten used to him.He guided me, even when I thought I knew everything and did not need any gui

ZAND I stayed behind in the cooling night air until everyone else had drifted away, leaving only Brock, Corbin, and myself in the quiet shadows.We set to work putting out the last of the dying embers and sweeping up the scattered ash and dirt, moving with a heavy, tired rhythm.By the time we finished and walked back toward the Great Hall, the sky had turned pitch dark, swallowed completely by the night.The heavy wooden doors and tall arched windows stood wide open to the cool evening breeze.Loud laughter, clinking glasses, and heated voices spilled out from inside, echoing across the quiet courtyard.I paused at the threshold, not yet stepping inside until Vera's sharp, furious voice rose angrily above the rest of the noise."You do not fucking deserve the right to talk about him," Vera snapped, her voice dripping with pure venom."You have not earned it."She took a harsh step forward."You have been here for all of two minutes, so sit the fuck down.""That is enough," I thunder

AMIA Hard and hot, he filled every inch of me, stretching me beyond belief.I surrendered to it, releasing myself to him in every way, trusting my body, my mind, and my safety to him as he fucked me in the woods.I didn’t care if anyone was around or if anyone could hear us.There was only him.And then, I truly broke and rumbled.Zand stopped, and I whined and wiggled against him.As his hands brushed over my hips, warm joy spread through me, and I rumbled again.I purred.He slammed into me, and I rode out another orgasm, high on him and the way he made my body come alive.When he pulled out, I shivered.“Is it over?” I whispered.Gently, he picked me up.“Not even close.”He carried me back to the Alpha Manor, which was blessedly empty and quiet.Zand only put me down long enough to draw a hot bath, and then he gently lifted me into it.The warmth soothed my ravaged skin, but I could barely look at him as he kneeled next to me.When he picked up a washcloth, I started to panic.“I

ZAND Amia was still asleep when I finally rose from the bed mid-morning the next day.Even after my knot and her heat had subsided, I had woken her in the early hours to take her again.Frankly, all I wanted to do right now was get back in our nest and slip inside of her.Unfortunately, I didn’t have the luxury.It was for the best, too.The more time I spent with her, the more jumbled the thoughts in my head became.I had meant every word that I said last night.It wasn’t just because it was the first time I had knotted inside of someone or because we had been stripped bare by her heat.I had realized a while ago that I needed her, even if I didn’t want to admit it.But it also meant that everything was fucked.I had swore to her that I would fix it, and she didn’t even know what I was fixing.I was being pulled in too many directions, between the build zone, her kidnapper, King Orion, and now the loss of my alpha.Just when I thought I could really slow things down, something like
