Veronica Black Hello again my lovely readers. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and that the wait for Zaine to finally get down to business wasn't too agonising. I would love to hear any feedback, or constructive criticism, so I can continue to give you all what you want in my writing. As always, your comments, gems, thumbs ups and reviews are appreciated more than I can say. Your kind and generous support allows me to keep telling my stories, and for that I am ever so grateful. Happy reading, VB xx

Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Thirty-Three
Sophia’s POVThe backs of my thighs and my calves are tight and aching, my pussy is throbbing, and I’m pretty sure if I looked at my clit right now it would be angry, purple and bruised. I'm not complaining, but I had no idea how unfit I really am. You would have thought cleaning the pack house every day for ten years would have me in better shape.“Are you alright sweetheart?” his voice sounds muffled, like I have water in my ears, and the lights dancing in front of my eyes do absolutely nothing to help me see him any clearer in the darkness of the night.“I need you inside me Zaine… now.” my voice croaks and my throat is dry. My wolf is hovering just beneath the surface, she wants me to mark him and her patience is paper thin. Her canines are extended and ready, and their sharp points dig into the insides of my cheeks. The coppery tang of a few droplets of blood on my tongue shocks my senses and brings the world back into focus. “I don’t want to hurt you.” His eyes give away how wo

Torrin’s POV It’s not like we didn’t know what was happening down by the lake, and we all stood inside the treeline with our backs turned, affording them as much privacy as possible whilst guarding their safety. I have been hoping for and dreading this moment for years, and when Aggie mind linked me from the kitchen the day Zaine lost his mind when he found her, I was ready to go in, guns blazing, take Sophia and run for the hills. It’s not that Zaine is a bad person. He is the best Alpha the pack could have hoped for after his father was killed. His ruthlessness has kept us safe, his reputation has been our shield and there was no way I was going to let him break her heart and kill her with a rejection for being the omega she was never meant to be.I was in the middle of the dining hall, on my way to the kitchen, when Aggie mind linked me again to tell me Sophia told Zaine off right there in the kitchen in front of everybody. The way Aggie tells it, Sophias mouth really ran away w

Abernathy’s POVMy beast and I felt the magic of the gilded gift when it came to us. The late King Sebastian had tried to prepare me for what would happen when Sophia came of age, then it didn’t happen, so I assumed the old man had been crazy and thought nothing more of it, as convincing as he had been.There have been stories of the royal family’s golden eyed protectors for generations. My own Grandfather claimed to have been one of King Lucian’s Gilded Guards before he met my grandmother. His tall tales amused every pup around the campfire when the rest of the pack went on hunts, and I always wanted to believe him, but everyone knew they were just urban legends.I can still picture the deep creases around eyes that had seen everything and then some, if his stories were to be believed. My dear old grandad was a crotchety son of a bitch, except for nights like the Yule hunt. The Yule hunt before I tuned eighteen was the last time I sat with the other unshifted wolves and listened to h

Zaine’s POVI could have easily slept for a week but a few hours after my head hit the pillow I was up again. The gaggle of guards outside the door are up to no good, I can feel it in my bones, and if Abernathy has anything to do with it, it’s probably going to end in bloodshed.I don’t recall ever being so exhausted in my life. At least I managed to get Sophia and I back to the room before collapsing into bed. Torrin’s concern was written all over face when he saw me carrying Sophia up from the lake. The brave soul even offered to carry her for me. My shoulder aches as I chuckle at the memory.“What’s funny?” Sophia’s hand takes hold of mine and she gives it a gentle squeeze as she lays beside me. The scheming in the corridor can wait. Right now, I need to be here, with Sophia. How much trouble could they really get into anyway?“Nothing sweetheart, I’m just wondering how I got to be so lucky.” I turn to give her a kiss but am stopped in my tracks only inches away from her cheek. Her

Sophia’s POV “You stay behind me Sophia, I’m not playing.” Zaine looks down at me with a pleading look in his eyes. His voice is firm and commanding, and he called me by my name, which I’ve quickly realised he only does when he is deadly serious, so I nod and smile. He wants to protect me, and I want that too, but there is nothing out there that would harm me. I don’t know how I know it, I just do. When he slowly opens the door, I stand behind Zaine but look around him to see Torrin and another man’s back blocking my view down the corridor. That must be Abernathy. I remember him from my childhood, before… He was Beta, then after I was sent to the omega wing I only saw him once. When Zaine became Alpha and Luca and George his Betas, I never saw Abernathy again. There were rumours that after Alpha Theo and Luna Genevieve were killed, Abernathy was distraught with grief. He blamed himself for their deaths and tried to take his own life. I’ve never really given much stock to rumours, th

George’s POVSophia probably thinks I hate her. After all, I’ve never done anything to show her otherwise. I can’t lie and say that I feel the same way about her as everyone else in this room does. She is our queen by blood, but blood does not make a ruler worthy, and she is not fit to guide our pack never mind ruling our kind.How can someone who has grown up on the outside of the pack, possibly know how to be Luna, let alone Queen? It’s ridiculous. Now we are all in more danger than Zaine, Torrin, Abernathy or Luca, will admit, and that makes me nervous. If they don’t shed their blinkers and open their eyes to the real world, the pack will suffer. The blue cunt is still prowling in the southern forest, and Acheron isn’t going to sit idly by when the one man who could stand against him plays house with his new mate. When he finds out she has been here and alive the whole time, he will show no mercy, he doesn’t have it in him.I’ll give Sophia this, she has some balls, calling me out

Mrs Crook's POVSophia listens intently as I tell her about the days leading up to her birth and how loved and wanted she had been before she even existed. Her eyes gleam with unshed tears and her hand shakes in mine, as I try to keep control over my own emotions. I have imagined having this conversation with her so many times over the years. I have gone over it again and again in my head, wondering what to tell her. Do I leave the worst of it out, of tell her every single detail? Will it really help her to know everything or will that only add to her heartache?I see Abernathy fidgeting uncomfortably out of the corner of my eye, which makes sense when I feel Torrin’s strong, supportive hand on my shoulder. For someone who is convinced his wolf and mine are crazy, there sure is a whole heap of possessive jealously rolling this way.“Your father did all he could to protect Genevieve and you, but by the time we realised what was happening right under our noses, it was too late. His brot

Zaine’s POVGeorge looks around the room until his gaze lands on Luca. My beta’s usually back each other up in everything, but I decide to keep my mouth shut and see how this plays out. My beast watches closely through my eyes as he gushes in my mind about his warrior mate and how long he has been waiting for her to return to him.“Let her find her feet again Zaine. She needs time and opportunity to feel like herself. When she remembers all of who she is, you will understand. I can’t believe it is really her.” The depth of his reverence is so foreign and unsettling to me. My wolf has never submitted to anyone, but a few minutes of muted conversation between him and Sophia’s wolf, and she is practically leading him around on a chain. “What’s with blocking me? You never do that. Who is she?” I sound like a whining pup in my own head. I’m not used to secrets or someone else taking charge, and the fact that Sophia’s wolf has her ready to run head on into the man who my own Betas and her

Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Seventy-Four
Sophia’s POV It would be impossible and maybe even foolish to try to please everyone. I doubt there is a single person here who isn’t owed a pound of flesh by the monster. Ari constantly reminds me that as the Queen, there will be times that I cannot please everyone and that my duty is to do what’s best, not what’s easiest or sits well with my own ideals.Of course I want blue moon to heal, and part of that healing process is giving the wolves the justice they seek. After this we can move forward. It’ll take time, and the two packs merging is likely to keep everything up in the air for a while, then there is the matter of what to do about the humans and other people Acheron has been holding in his dungeon.Torrin means well and he has a point. “Honestly, the thought had already occurred to me that this plan could be a perfect opportunity for someone to kill me. The thing is, I know there will always be people who want me gone, it’s the story of my life, but I cannot hide if I want
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Seventy-Three
Torrin’s POV Well strike me down where I stand. The old codgers family lives. Seeing the pure delight on Sophia’s face was indescribable. Everyone around us saw it too. They saw the true heart of their queen. There will have been doubters amongst them, no matter how encouraging Wayne’s reports to Sophia have been. The reports I received were less... censored. I told him not to make the queen aware of the men who threatened her life before fleeing Blue Moon altogether. I have no doubt in my mind that the traitors will regroup and return, intent on continuing the usurpers reign of terror. There was even talk of some of the men challenging her for the throne. As ludicrous as that would have been, I have no doubt that many people here have lost their wits from living under Acheron’s rule for so long. I know that Sophia would grin and bear it, if she knew about the threats, but she already has the weight of the world on her shoulders. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Seventy-Two
Cronin’s POV My chest might explode. The instant my eyes settle upon her face, I’m sure my heart stopped beating. I can’t breathe, the air is too thin to sustain me.The world around me grows muffled and I’m barely aware of Torrin and Luca stood either side of me. My guts bubble with disbelief and I fear I may throw up right where I stand making even more of a spectacle of myself.All this time I stayed away, unable to face the pain of returning to an empty home. Years of my life I have wasted and all this time it was a lie. They are alive. Adriana and Beth are alive. Jackson swore blind that he had seen their bodies swinging from the gate when he and some of the others came back one night to attempt a rescue. If I had set foot back on this land the king would have known and killed them for sure. So, I entrusted their rescue to the only person I could.He didn’t spare me any details upon his fruitless return, even down to the description of the moonstone necklace I gave Beth whe
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Seventy-One
Sophia’s POV Is this what my life has been leading me towards? The murder of my parents? The pain, the hunger, the hopelessness of my late childhood? Part of me knows everything happens for a reason, the other part is angry that so much was lost to get to this point.There was pain in the eyes of the people who attacked our convoy on the outskirts of the city. Well, pain and distrust. Wayne has been keeping me apprised of everything happening in the city centre, but he never once mentioned the unrest near the border. Maybe he doesn’t know. I imagine he has had his hands full, but it doesn’t seem like him, to have overlooked those who have obviously suffered the most.I will be sure to send some of our people back to the run down, outlying community, to bring food and resources whilst we do what we can to undo the damage done by Acheron and his men. As our car rolls through the castle gates and into a massive courtyard, I get my first glimpse of where I was born. Of course I have
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Seventy
Zaine’s POV It wasn’t even a decision really. I have known for some time that my pack and I would end up in Blue Moon. I hadn’t dared to hope we would be here, and at such an advantage, so soon. We have been planning for a hostile takeover, stocking supplies, preparing for the worst whilst praying for the best.Thank heavens none of the visiting Alphas or their people were harmed, and they took their leave with very few questions. Sophia really showed herself as the Queen she is, by reassuring everyone that their questions would soon be answered, but for now they should return to their pack and assure their people that all is well. She was obviously disappointed that the celebrations had to be cancelled and that she wouldn’t be able to meet and get the measure of our guests. I’ll surprise her with the ball to end all balls once we have sorted everything here. It looks like we will have a lot to do, and the reception we got from the outlying town doesn’t inspire much hope.“What are
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Sixty-Nine
Aggie’s POV My body is being jostled about and my old bones can’t take much more. I don’t remember how I got here, or even where here is. I think I’m in a car. The light keeps changing on the other side of my closed eyes, flickering between light and dark like a strobe. “How long do you think it will be until she wakes?” I hear Torrin’s voice beside me.“How the fuck should I know?” Abe snaps back. “Will you two pack it in, we have a long drive, leave her to rest.” Soph sounds just like her mother, oh how I miss her. I can only imagine how Abe must be feeling. When I told him that my body would grow weaker the longer all those souls were crammed inside me, he only hesitated for a minute or so before sticking his blade in my side and releasing the building pressure.I’m glad. I underestimated how much of a strain they would put on me. If he had waited, even a few hours, I doubt I would have had the strength to heal. I know, it sounds dramatic, but I really nearly died. That is not
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Sixty-Eight
Sophia’s POV I am so unbelievably ready for this to all be over.When I woke up and felt the change inside of me, I knew there was only one way this shit show would end. Alcmene was strong, there is no doubt in that , but my new wolf, my true wolf, is different. She is strong but not in the maniacal way her predecessor was. My true wolf, Lia, is ready to burn it all to the ground and begin again. I think I see her point. There is so much poison, fear and hatred festering amongst our people. I just can’t allow the innocent to suffer along with the guilty. Some people do terrible things to survive, does that make them terrible people? I don’t know.“Blue Moon must be cleansed Sophia. It is the root of the evil.” Lia pleads with me to see her reasoning.“Blue Moon is my birth pack and where this all started. My parents were not evil, their kingdom is not evil. Acheron is the root, not the innocents who lived under him waiting for the axe to fall. I will not punish them Lia.” I hate tha
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Sixty-Seven
Acheron’s POVThe musty stench of dirt and mold is familiar to me. It stinks of decay and death, just like my own dungeons. I can’t sense my beast. What did he do to me?“What have you done? I am your king, you will die for this.” I scream as anger floods me. The thick iron bars between me and the arsehole betas is all that stands between me and vengeance. They took my wolf. How the fuck did they take my wolf?What is Cronin doing here? That fool was killed by my pet rogues years ago.“You are no king of mine. Our queen will decide your fate after the party, and I... can’t... wait, to carry out your sentence myself.” George comes close to the bars and snarls his threat in my face. He has no idea what I am capable of. My men will follow their orders, I have no doubt of that. If taking Zaine and his little bitch down is the last thing I ever do, it will be worth it.“Your Queen,” I snort, almost chocking on laughter. “Your Queen is weak, just like her father. Weakness has no place on t
Alpha Zaine’s Rejection Chapter Sixty-Six
George’s POV“Where is Alpha Zaine?” A purple vein pulses right next to Acheron’s temple as he demands to know Zaine’s whereabouts yet again. If I didn’t tell him the first six times he asked, I have no idea what makes him think the seventh time would be the charm.I do know that whatever Aggie is going to do, is not something Acheron should know anything about. I sent Frankie to keep my pain in the arse and her meddling sidekick in their rooms and out of harms way. Maybe they will give him a little taste of what I’ve been putting up with. More than one man here has found it amusing, watching me pull my hair out over the little Imp and her antics. To be honest I was close to throttling her myself more than once, but now that there is real and present danger on our land and in our home, my mind is on her more than I ever thought it would be.Acheron’s rancid breath warms my face and his canines elongate in front of my eyes. Luca looks as if he wants to pull the crazy off me, but a subt
