Chapter 49: Nobody.

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-27 10:42:33

Raiden reads the letter in the privacy of his office, and I let him read it alone because the death of the person that left the letter is weighing too heavily on me for me to stand there and read it with him.

I didn’t know her.

I never knew her, yet she killed herself out of loyalty to this pack, and not out of betrayal. Raiden was right to look at me like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing when I was happy at her death.

He’s a good Alpha. Has a good head on his shoulders and…. Thanks to Amanda we might have a fighting chance now.

That’s if what’s in the letter is what I suspect it is.

I head back to my room, but the room feels like the last place I want to be right now. My chest still feels cramped by more emotions than I can identify so I head back out.

My mind can’t stop taking me back to the fact that her brother is in the clutches of people who used him as a tool to threaten her.

He’s still with them, and I'm scared. Now more than ever. Because I realise how easy it would be

    I go farther into the Tempest pack forests because I won't cry anywhere they can see me.I feel so silly that tears are even dropping from my eyes but I don't understand what’s going on in my heart right now.And maybe it was the mean words about me being the reason someone killed themselves, or the meanness itself, but it’s hurt me.It hurts me with the kind of pain that makes swallowing hard and blurs my vision with tears.Wh…. What have I done to be hated like this?I haven’t even been on bad terms with Mor lately. I’ve done all I can to be a good person to her. To believe that she’s misjudged me and I, her, but the look I saw in her eyes…. like I'm something disgusting, worthless.My child is NOT a bastard. And even if I have nothing, I'm still the daughter of my parents. They might not be here right now, but they loved me. I didn’t come from nothing.Only the goddess knows if she’d be able to stand in front of me if my parents were still alive. She’s literally the mean girl of so

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 1: His new Luna.

    Each thrust of Nikolai’s hips sends a wave of hot pleasure right through me. I writhe, my hands clenching the sheets, back arched and my eyes rolling into the back of my head… “Right there, Niko.”For a moment, it’s like a fever dream. Nikolai’s hands are fisted on the mattress, keeping me locked in place as his heat wraps us both. His scent of sea salt and lavender surrounds us in a soft haze and though we’re both covered in a shiny sheen of sweat, because of his scent I feel clean and fresh, the woody notes of lavender taking me to a cabin and the sea salt transporting me to a beach.I feel each limb in my body begin to tingle. I’m so close. Just a bit more.A phone rings and yanks me away from my climax. Nikolai curses under his breath but the buzz of his phone is a constant vibration echoing through the room. He picks the call and though it’s not on loudspeaker I hear each word of the guard’s report.“The new Luna has arrived at the borders, Alpha Nikolai. Her envoy should be at

    Tears run freely down my cheeks and I try to calm down but my mind is in shambles. My sister…. I have to think of Raven.I could take her away from here and go to another hospital, but there’s no healer like David. He’s the only one who knows the full details of her medical reports. Nikolai knows all of this and yet he took him away.“Emery.”My heart jumps at the sound of a voice. A part of me hopes for it to be Nikolai’s. It prays for it to be him and I look up expecting to see him, but his voice has never been so soft.Doug’s relief ripples through the room as he exclaims, “Thank the goddess, you’re here.” Doug immediately goes over to hug Lyla. Lyla is an emergency doctor and for her to have come on such short notice… i stare at her like a paralyzed mute as tears fill my eyes again.Doug doesn’t sound worried anymore as he consoles me, “It’s okay, Emery. Lyla’s here now. Raven will be fine.” I choke out words through the haze of tears clouding my eyes, “Thank you. Thank you so

    I spend the rest of the morning making sure every member of the pack can get something to eat. I keep feeling the urge to vomit and as a new wave of nausea suddenly overcomes me I go upstairs to get one of the pills I keep in my bedside drawer. Instead, a ruby red lace pantie stares me back in the face, right at the door of our room.Husky laughter, soft and erotic greets my ears, “Stop with the teasing, Nik and just fuck me.” Nikolai’s laughter runs through our mate bond like a skitter of alcohol in my bloodstream. I can almost see him smiling against her lips as he responds, “I have a meeting not long from now so i can’t, but that doesn’t mean one of us can’t get off.”Nadia’s soft moans come next and a heavy wave of bile rushes up my throat. It burns like acid and I rush back down the hallway, dashing down the stairs.I’m lucky to have gotten to one of the flower pots by the doors to the packhouse. I puke into it and some of the nausea retreats as I let it out but I know this is

    The pack doctor changes the bandages on my legs and looks up, smiling at the bubble of activity in the packhouse. The grandest wedding the pack has seen in the last ten years will be happening tonight, but I won't be attending because my verdict has been served.My things have been neatly packed, ready to be moved to a cabin at the edges of the pack territory. A bitter feeling rises at the back of my throat but I push it down.It’s better for me to leave. It’s the only way this is going to work.Tonight, they become husband and wife. I have to move out of the pack and head to my new life.The pack gradually empties as everyone goes to the wedding ceremony. Those who haven’t been invited to be guests have to be there to work. The packhouse has never been this empty and fatigue pulls me into a deep sleep.The evening sun is peeking through the blinds when I feel the presence of someone beside me. I feel his hot body on top of me.My eyes snap open in alarm but my body already knows t

    He reaches out as i dash away. I feel his hand graze strands of my hair.Fear shudders through me as I scramble onto the bed but it doesn’t take a minute for him to get onto me. A large hand grabs my ankle and with male strength it yanks back. I scream.The smell of blood wafts into my nose.My blood. He gets on top of me, slapping my hands to the side and pinning them above my head. With his other hand he delivers a sharp slap to the side of my face and presses the knife to the side of my cheek. The coldness of the blade seeps into my skin.I wriggle against him, eyes stinging from tears and my heart pounding. I beg, “Please, please let me go.”Nikolai never let me watch his warriors train but my parents used to let me watch ours. The assassin chuckles and smirks at me, “You are one stupid bitch.”The moment i see his blood hungry gaze relax I yank hard. I free one of my hands and I hit his nose as hard as I can. As the sharp soft crack rings out he releases a grunt of pain, I hit

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 6: Nikolai.

    Soft music and idle chatter float through the air. People talk, eat, drink - the Redstone pack came out in style to the marriage of their Alpha’s daughter.I resist the urge to frown. Emery won’t ruin this for me. I won’t be caught looking displeased at my own wedding.Nadia floats through the crowd, a smile on her face, and in her dress she looks little more than a fashion shop—jewelry glints at her throat, arm, and ears. A tiara inlaid with rubies and precious gemstones sits pretty on her head, and when she comes to me she latches onto my side, an indulgent look on her face.Nadia is beautiful, but anyone who looks at her right now would know she’s drunk on the praise of those around her. She dressed to impress and she would be displeased if she didn't.Emery wouldn't have cared if she got any compliments…. Just mine would have been enough.Irritation crawls up my spine when I hear Nadia’s soft rasp beside my ear, “You disappeared on me for a moment there. I asked some of my me

    “Miss Emery, the Alpha is here.”I take away shaky hands from the rest of the letters we got from behind the wall and take a deep breath, because I don't know how to explain how I knew they were there.I just… felt they were.“Emery.”I raise my eyes to see Raiden staring at me. I gesture to the seven letters on the floor, each one of them now opened after they had been neatly tucked away behind that wall.Raiden stares at them and it takes me a while to find my voice but i do. I push aside the fear and confusion fighting a small battle in my head and focus on what’s at hand, “We found some more letters in the room. I felt like i had to come here because something wasn’t adding up.She would never have killed herself if she had family being held hostage and used as a means to control her. Her story of being attacked by rogues checks out, she admits to it in these letters.But she also says instead of being killed, she and her family were taken to a private facility where experiments w

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 47: Secrets I

    The maids are giving me dirty looks as I make my way down the halls of the packhouse.I don’t smell, do i?I take a covert sniff of my clothes but there’s nothing out of the usual there.Why then would they be looking at me strangely?My mind mulls on that thought as I make my way down to the living quarters at the back of the packhouse building.Every pack’s packhouse is a relatively large building. It’s easily the largest building in every pack, and from the size of the Tempest pack’s packhouse, I can tell they were once a force to be reckoned with. Some of the rooms have been locked up and barred, living rooms that have no use anymore or cost too much to be maintained.The section of the packhouse i’m headed to is one Mor suggested i should be forced to live in a while ago.Raiden says they don’t have servants or slaves, they have paid help. Mor wanted me to live with the help.I would have liked to but Raiden insisted I was a prisoner of the pack and that I could easily escape if

    “Looking for me?”Mort grins as he makes his way to my side and keeps pace with my particularly slow footsteps. I can’t think of anywhere i have to rush through right now, especially not after what i just heard in there. I shoot Mort a suspicious look as I ask, “Why are you happy?”The threat of the pack being taken from them looms closer every second and he’s wearing a smile. That’s not just odd, that’s suspicious.”You’re thinking something’s up with me aren’t you?”It doesn’t happen often that Mort reads my mind to a T, but sometimes he’s able to correctly guess what’s going through my head, albeit in a way that seems like he’s flirting with me.”I don’t see why you’d be smiling. I just came out of Raiden’s office and I'm not.”He grins, “Well you aren’t the face of the pack. Pack members notice these things y’know. Raiden is known for always having a menacing cold look on his face, and I'm known for having a full emotional spectrum, so if Raiden frowns, I frown….””The pack knows

    Raiden is still stone faced when I get into his office and I look away from his face, looking everywhere else but at him, because I'm not sure what I'd do if I hear whatever news he has and see the stony disapproving glare in his eyes too. Someone died. Yes, but that person was a spy.“The Redstones are on the move.”A spy who probably leaked even more information before she killed herself.I don’t have the mental strength to be dramatic right now so I simply lean back and wait for Raiden to fill me in on the details.”According to Mor’s contact in the Redstone pack, Alpha Caius is on the move. He targeted a small pack on the far north side of the state and he came back with a signed document which has the Alpha willing over his pack to him.We don’t know how he did it. We do know however that we’re next on the list so if we’re going to think of anything, we have to think about it now.Raiden sounds depressed.I would too if something like this was about to happen to my pack.I surpr

    Raiden is nowhere to be found when I go downstairs for breakfast.As I suspected, room service is not available in the Tempest pack and has not been for a long time.It never made sense to me how she always wanted to come into my room. I suspect she was in there before and already found valuable information, like the alliance document and all the faults I outlined within it.It would make a lot of sense. She knows information can be gotten from there, and she knows I would be blamed for whatever got leaked to the Redstones. Raiden can’t blame me for being relieved that will come to an end now.”YOU seem lost in thought..” I look up at the sound of the voice and see Bryce standing beside me, his scar stark in the light of the morning light. I try not to sigh, because I know what he’s going to say next, “I haven’t been seeing you at harvests lately.”Mort came to me a few days ago and told me Bryce has been pestering him with questions about me. He suspects Bryce has developed some kin

    Emery’s pov.The feeling of the warm sun and open fields sends a rushing thrill through my veins.I writhe on the floor, the steady weight of someone on top of me making my nipples harden and a rush of pleasure run amok in my brain. I can feel him.I can feel every inch of him going in, and out of me. I can feel the largeness of him filling me up and the formidable girth stretching me out, massaging my walls, making me feel deep liquid pleasure.I look up, and the face in front of me flashes. It shifts between the rough around the edges hardness of someone I've just known for a month, Raiden Tempest, Alpha and Protector of the Tempest Pack.And the arresting sharpness of a man I loathe. A man who makes my insides heat up with pleasure a thousand times more intense when his face finally settles onto his tall, muscular, body.I could run my hands over the planes of his form and I would know where I was each step. From hardset abs to his well formed calves.Nikolai Angel Night, Alpha and
