All Chapters of Rejected By My Mate, Wanted By The Four Alphas: Chapter 11 - Chapter 16

KAMARITwo days ago, I told nine councilmen I would not fail.Today, I am hiding from everyone because I have absolutely no idea how to keep that promise.I should open my windows and let in some air, or part the curtains at least, but I don’t.My body feels ten times heavier today, and I hate that I can’t even get out of bed. A plate of glazed duck sits on my nightstand, forgotten. I tried to eat, but everything tastes like sawdust. The last servant who brought the duck suggested a pie.I don’t remember what I said, but her face was a beet red when she left. My mind remains centered on one thing—the silence in my head.My wolf has been quiet ever since we left the council. Now, I already know better than to mistake her silence for peace. Bones aching, I kick off the covers and pull myself out of bed, promising myself that a shower will make me feel better.It doesn’t. I throw on a brown woolen sweater over dark leggings and pad around bare feet, waiting for my hair to dry out wh

KAMARII lie flat on my back, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, and consider running away again. Apparently, making one terrible decision at a time is no longer enough for me.Sleep is a luxury I can’t afford. Every second brings me closer to the moment I’ll be removed from my pack and dumped in Grimmane to survive under an Alpha I don’t know.I could run. I could push my door aside, disappear into the morning darkness and be far from Bloodmoon before sunrise.Maybe they will miss me, or maybe they’ll be grateful I took the easy way out instead of endangering the pack.They already have Darius to fill in my absence. Surely they won’t bother with a rogue Alpha and her wild wolf.But this is all wishful thinking. I know what they’ll see me as—a coward. A wolf that abandons her pack over and over.And they will be right.Even if I do run, where will I go? Back to FreeHide? That’s not even an option, and there surely isn’t a place I’ll run to where my father and Elias won’t find me.I’

KAMARI I know I’m getting close to Grimmane when the mountains ahead disappear into fog.They stretch on ahead, darker than anything I’ve seen in Bloodmoon. I find myself wondering if my father really expects me to survive eight weeks here.The carriage slows down at several checkpoints throughout the pack, and I feel myself shrink whenever a warrior locks eyes with me and asks the same question;“Is this the Alpha?”And each time, I have to sit through their dissatisfied grunts. There are no pack members lining the streets, no eyes following my carriage, no tears or awe or even a smile lingering on their faces.All I hear around me is the sound of warrior boots blending with horse hooves and the whistle of the wind through cobblestone streets.The air smells strongly of metal, and I let down my window as we near the Alpha’s huge silver gates. “Here we go…” I mutter under my breath, but nothing prepares me for the emptiness in the gravel courtyard before me.I don’t care for recog
