“Did you seriously lock her up inside her room?” I ask in disbelief and cross my arms over my chest as I stare down at Wesley. He is scrolling on his phone while sitting around the kitchen table. “Little harsh, don’t you think?”

He sighs and rubs his eyelids with two of his digits. “It can’t be helped. Tess is under Freddy’s compulsion and can’t be trusted to wander alone. What if she hurts someone?”

“True...” I say absentmindedly and slump my shoulders, unsure of what I’m supposed to be doing. Tess is my mate, but she...she is a human.

“You can go and check on her if you want,” Wesley says and looks up at me. “You’re worried about her, right?”

My lips twitch. “I doubt I’m the person she wants to see right now. Back when Dimitri held a knife to her throat and told me to pick between her, or surrendering myself, I froze.”

“Dimitri would have killed her either way, even if you turned yourself in.”

“I know. I think that’s why I froze in motion. I didn’t know what to do or how to s

    TessAs I study Lucas’s handsome face, the mate bond overwhelms all of my senses. I’m filled with sudden warmth, need, and ridiculous desperation. My whole body craves him: my skin, cunt, arms, lips—even my nose longs to inhale his scent. But there is one part of my body that isn’t singing when I’m near him, and that’s my heart. That part of me belongs to Freddy...I think? I’m not entirely certain. I like him, but the lines get a little blurry whenever I’m around Lucas. Fighting a mate bond isn’t easy, especially since I know Lucas isn’t evil, just confused.“Look, Tess...” Lucas inhales and drags his sweaty hands up his jeans, dark hair hanging into his face. He is unbelievably beautiful with his blue eyes and chiseled features. “What must I do in order for you to forgive me?”I sink my teeth into my bottom lip. “I don’t have an answer to your question, Lucas. You’re not a bad person, I know that, but...I have sort of fallen in love with someone else.”He doesn’t look shocked. If an

    TessA few days have passed since Freddy rescued Claudia. I’m happy my best friend is back, but now we are engulfed in a full-scale war with the Safir pack. I’m not allowed to go anywhere outside the mansion on my own after dark, and when I go to work at the Coffee Bean, Claudia, and Lucas always come along as my bodyguards.A sigh leaves my lips. “You know, I’m not entirely defenseless. I am armed with a freaking pepper spray, and I know how to use it.”Lucas and Claudia exchange a glance, shrug, and continue following me as I make my way to work. Hedwig, one of my co-workers, isn’t surprised to see my two bodyguards at all. She is a member of the Luan pack, too, and merely rolls her eyes when my friends take a seat by an empty table. “They are following you every day now, huh?” she asks me in a hushed tone behind the desk.I whip my head in Claudia’s and Lucas’ direction. Claudia is swiping on her phone while Lucas is looking directly at me with an intense glare.An irritated blush

    FreddyI will admit it: turning myself into a hybrid was a terrible mistake. I have the power I lusted for, but this insatiable thirst for blood? I’m always on edge, thirsty beyond belief. My throat feels dry all day long, like I’m permanently parched, and the worst part is that I want Tess’ blood. I don’t understand why. Is it because I tasted her in the past?“You can’t stay here forever, you know,” Jenny says from behind the reception.I glance down at her from where I’m standing. The tomboy werewolf is Tess’ friend and works extra at the inn where I’m staying. It’s on the Luan pack’s territory, and Jenny could tell Wesley about me, but since I saved Claudia’s life, she is letting me stay here. She is also aware of the fact that I have this huge crush on Tess even though she isn’t my fate.“I know, but I don’t know where else to go,” I smirk. “And don’t pretend as if you don’t like having me here. I’m keeping the bad guys miles away.”She rolls her eyes. “Do you ever stop bragging

    Tess“Before you reject me, could I have one last kiss?” Lucas asks in a pained voice. We are sitting on my bed and discussing the rejection that is about to happen.“You want a kiss knowing it will be the last one?” “Yeah? That’s how they do it in all the romantic movies, you know. A terrible goodbye kiss, and then it’s all over. Gotta keep the tradition and all.”I sigh. “Alright, but only because you’re asking for it, okay? It won’t change anything. I’m still rejecting you, and just because it tingles or whatever won’t change a thing.”He grins. “One can hope.”My frustration builds up, and I glare at him. “So that’s why you want the kiss? You’re hoping I will change my mind and magically stop liking Freddy if I kiss your lips?”“Mhm...” He doesn’t even bother hiding it. The utter confidence this guy has is freaking amazing…not my sarcasm.I try not to roll my eyes at the impish grin Lucas is wearing. My days of being nervous around him are over. I’m in love with Freddy, not Lucas

    Tess“Did you really reject Lucas as your mate?” Jenny asks me after mysteriously calling me over to the inn where she is working. She asked me if I wanted to have lunch with her, and so here I am, ready to eat for free from their luxurious buffet. I smile at her, leaning against the reception desk with a strange feeling in my heart. “I sure did, or I actually asked him to do it because I felt guilty,” a troubled laugh leaves my lips. “It might seem strange to some, but...I really like Freddy. In my eyes, it seems like he accepts me even though I’m a ‘weak’ human, you know?”Jenny’s lips twitch, but she still doesn’t make a move to leave the reception desk. Instead, she is studying me with this secretive expression on her face and sliding me a card key across the wood with the number 666 on it, “Here, take this.”I arch an eyebrow, weighing the card in my hand to then play with it between my fingers. “What’s in room 666?”“Isn’t it obvious?” she asks, smirking. "Uh...no?" I blink. D

    TessThe following day after telling Freddy he is on a trial period, I wake up to someone tapping on the window of my balcony. I tiredly turn my head, eyes stopping on Freddy’s left hand, lifting in a wave while the right one appears from behind his back, holding a bouquet of roses. I arch an eyebrow at him, and he smirks. “Hello, Princess,” he says in a lazy voice, and even though the sun is shining and the birds are singing, he manages to look dark, scary, and way too sexy for what is fair when he says, “You ready to head out on our first date?”I’m baffled. When I told Freddy he can be good if he wants to and asked him to show me that he isn’t evil, I don’t know what I expected, but it surely wasn’t this.“I didn’t—...” I purse my lips, eyes locked on the bouquet of flowers before I hesitantly change my sentence, “Those flowers are beautiful. Are they for me?”“They are,” Freddy says from behind the glassed door, cocking his head to one side. “You have to invite me inside, Princes

    Tess A chill slips down my spine reading Lily’s message. It would be terrible if Freddy was the one who murdered the two human girls, but I really don’t think it’s him. I begin typing back a message... Me: How do you know Freddy is the culprit? It could be any vampire, Lily! It’s not like he is the only freaking bloodsucker in New Jin City, and it really hurts my feelings that you immediately think that it’s him! Three dots immediately appear on my screen. Lily: Fuck. I’m sorry! It’s just... His scent was at one of the crime scenes, and look, I know it might still not be Freddy, but I’m just worried about you because you’re a human now. I sigh as I type. Me: Fair enough, and thank you for the vervain...even though I don’t need it. Lily. No problem. Also, I want to believe Freddy has changed. I mean, he DID save Claudia’s life, but since his scent was on one of the crime scenes, I don’t know what to believe. Me: What if the Safir pack is trying to set him up? They are his e

    Freddy Tess doesn’t respond after I’ve told her that I see my future wife in her. I’m not surprised. I didn’t expect her to say anything. It was a wild thing to say, yet I needed to say it because it’s the truth. I see a future with her, and the red color rapidly spreading over her beautiful face is more than I could have ever hoped for. Always in my head space, always in my thoughts—I wonder if this woman knows how much of me she owns already. With her long dark hair and big, doe-eyes filled with enough kindness to make the world go around, she is the most stunning soul that I’ve ever seen. My guess would be that Tess has Spanish roots. She is pale, but I suspect that’s from being anti-social and spending more time on her laptop than actually heading out. Not that I mind. I can see a future of us watching her favorite series on her laptop and discussing them afterward. I smile at that and feel butterflies swarm my belly. I’m head-over-heels in love with this little human, and I

    Tess When I return to Wesley’s mansion with Freddy, I’m not surprised by all the stares that we receive. Every pack member is gawking at the handsome hybrid standing behind me. They don’t seem to know whether or not he is the enemy, while Wesley doesn’t look one bit bothered. “Ah, you’re back,” Wesley says while Lily rushes over to hug me. “Tess!” the woman is heavily pregnant, and her big stomach makes it hard to hug her, but I somehow manage to wrap my arms around her neck. “I’m okay,” I tell her and let out a breath of relief before turning around to gesture at Freddy. “Freddy saved me from the Safir pack.” “Did he now?” Wesley asks and cocks his head to the side with an impressed expression. His arms are crossed over the chest of his expensive suit. “And how exactly did you save Tess from the Safir pack? Should I be worried about them coming after us?“ “No,” Freddy says while fixing his cufflinks. “I took care of most of them. I would be surprised if their Alpha had any more

  • I'm Pregnant, Sincerely Your Rejected Mate   Chapter 60

    TessI find many things in this world scary: walking to the bathroom late at night when you don’t have a nightlight on, fake friends, the members of the Safir pack, and last, and probably my biggest fear, is the thought of spending eternity alone. Sue me for thinking that’s a terrible fate, but that is how I feel without lying to myself. I know plenty of women out there are like, “I don’t need a man! I’m strong and independent!” but I’m not one of them. Fuck no. I don’t want to be single for the rest of my life. I want to spend my days with someone special. Laugh and see the world together.And the thought of trusting someone so much that you can show yourself vulnerability to them? That’s beautiful. I want to let someone in. To let them help me whenever I feel low and dead inside. And in return, I want to do the same for them. Love is about giving and taking; I will love my partner through everything. We will face the darkness of this world together and survive side by side. That’s

    FreddyI stare into the woods while feeling like the biggest scumbag on the face of the earth. I thought I could be good for Tess; more than anything, I wanted to make her happy. If I could be half as good and perfect as she has been to me, I thought it would be acceptable for me to be with her. But now it turns out that I’m a blood junkie. I’m addicted to human blood, and without even realizing it, I’ve killed plenty of humans due to my stupid thirst. The worst part is that I can hardly remember anything from it. I blacked out due to my hunger, and that scares me. What if I, on some unfortunate day, blackout and attack Tess? She is the most important person in my life. Her laughter and smile is the only thing able to make me feel like an actual person, and it kills me to realize that while I want to protect her, I might be the most dangerous person in her life.Frustration runs through my veins, and I turn around to walk back to my car. But I don’t make it very far before I hear

  • I'm Pregnant, Sincerely Your Rejected Mate   Chapter 58

    TessI'm at a loss for what to do. I still can't believe Freddy was the one that hurt those girls. Part of me still can't believe it. He is so nice and gentle with me, but it's not like he meant to hurt them. He lost control of his hunger—that's hardly his fault! Drinking blood is in Freddy's nature, and I'm sure he could learn how to control it if given time. I just wish he would let me be part of that journey. Why did he have to leave me? I can handle his darker side, damn it! I'm not made of glass, and I'm tired of people treating me as if I'm going to break at any given moment!Suddenly my phone vibrates, and I get up on my feet. My phone is lying on the armchair with all my clothes. Clothes that Freddy pulled off my body last night before he left me...A pang of sadness shoots through my entire body, remembering how good his lips felt against mine, but I push the pain aside and slide my finger over my screen. There are plenty of messages from Lily and a few from my other friend

    TessAfter spending the evening with Freddy at the beach, he took me to the inn where Jenny works. I don’t remember much of it. I was too tired, but now, in the morning light, I’m smiling because I’m sure this is the best way to wake up. I gaze down at the gorgeous hybrid whose head is between my legs, his tongue teasing and tantalizing me with lip-smacking fervor. My back arches in pleasure as I moan out softly, toes curling from the rapture of the moment.“Oh, Freddy...”His warm tongue runs up and down my pussy, teasing me by flicking my swollen labia. It feels so good! Freddy is eating my pussy like a champ. The soft puff of air through his lips makes my pussy clench whenever it touches me.Another moan escapes me, and Freddy lifts his head, smirking at me until I roll my eyes and push his head back down to where I want it.He chuckles but continues worshipping my cunt.“Oh my God,” I whisper when Freddy adds more pressure to his tongue. Is it possible to die from pleasure? Feeli
