REJECTED MATE 57.2
His lips parted, presumably to lie, but I spoke first. “Franklin Griffith, if you insult my intelligence by saying you’re not planning on fucking the alpha out of me when I become the Shifter Queen, I will punch you so hard you’ll be shitting teeth.”He squared his shoulders. “I didn’t know you could be so violent.”My chest erupted in a bitter laugh. “If only you knew what I was capable of doing to betrayers.”“Cathwulf,” he said with a sigh. “How could you think these things about me?”“I know everything, including your plan to steal my power. I know you find me difficult to love and you’re hanging on because of what I represent—an opportunity to escape your bargain.”His eyes bulged, and his face pinched in a look that said he’d been caught. If I could see thought bubbles, his would say ‘Oh shit.’Griff’s gaze darted around the hospital room and fixed on the door. I balled my fists. If he thought I would allow him to escape, he was about to get body slammed to the floor.“Could you

The two monarchs disappeared, leaving me alone in the hospital room with Griff.Moments later, a man in a white suit bustled in with a pair of large orderlies. “Healer Sakhet has stabilized the curse, so it won’t flare up as long as the memory remains suppressed. Would you like an escort to the Atlantis Central Station?”“Wait a minute.” I walked around the bed, closing the distance between myself and the administrator. “You haven’t finished breaking his curse.”He glanced to the side and sighed. “If two monarch-level supernaturals and a former goddess can’t resolve your issue, I’m afraid there’s nothing more the Atlantis Hospital can do.”I shook my head. “Can’t you call around to the other hospitals?”“We have already sent the invoice for your treatment to Fenrisúlr, care of Shifter City,” he said, sounding firm. “We need to free up the beds for new patients.”“No,” I snapped.“Cathwulf, it’s all right,” Griff said from the other side of the room.I turned around, my eyes flashing.

“Do you have your phone?” I asked.He stepped back and frowned. “Pardon?”I glanced down at the bulge in his pocket, pulled out his mobile, and activated its home screen.“What is that?” he asked.“It’s how supernaturals communicate with each other in the twenty-first century.”“An advanced form of a mirror?” He wrapped an arm around my shoulder, tucked me into his side, and sniffed at my hair.Shivers ran across my skin, making me squirm. Trying my best to ignore the affectionate wolf, I continued down the hallway while tapping commands into the phone. According to the Phileas Fogg website, Atlantis had a train station and a direct route to London Central.Beki barked a question.I shook my head. “What’s the point of calling Ophois when Griff can’t return to Shifter City? Even if he’s not at risk of bursting into flames, that thing inside him still wants to erode the walls.”My wolf deflated.“We’ll work something out.” I booked us a ticket to London.Griff and I followed the signs t

The phone rang, and a video played that showed the highlights of Shifter City and invited people to apply for a home, a job, a new life free from humans and corrupt supernaturals.Griff scooted around the table to the seat next to mine and peered over my shoulder. “What’s this?”I clicked away from the recorded video message, brought up Griff’s contacts, hoping to find a number for Randel, Lydia, or the twins. At the top was an entry for Fenrir.“He gave me his personal number?” he asked, his voice breathy with pride.“You’re the alpha of his special pack,” I said with a shrug and tapped the button to call Fenrir.Griff frowned. “You mean us.”“Just you.”“Doesn’t that make you the alpha female?” he asked.Fenrir’s face filled the phone. “Cathwulf, report.”“My Lord.” Griff pushed his way forward.The wolf god’s lips curled into a gentle smile. “It is good to see you looking healthy. Did they treat you well in the hospital?”“Yes,” Griff gushed. “Thank you for paying for my stay.”I t

I sat on the mattress with Griff’s arms around my waist, his soft lips peppering kisses along my jaw and down the column of my neck. Each press of his lips sent sparks of rapture across my skin that gathered around my swelling clit.“Griff.” I placed a hand on his chest, ready to give him a shove, only to feel the frantic pounding of his heart. My stomach twisted. Bloody Hell. No wonder I’d ordered the pack enforcers to drag him to my office. Now, he was acting like I was a sure thing.His hand wandered from my waist, up my arm, and over my breast. He took a handful of flesh and groaned.“What are you doing?” I whispered.“Isn’t it obvious?” Griff murmured into my neck as he continued to massage my breast. “Picking up where we left off.”“Don’t.” I pushed him back, rose from the bed, and walked into the cabin’s living area, not stopping until I could stand behind the dining table.Griff rose from the mattress, his erection tenting his pants. “I don’t understand. You liked me well enou

“Not even her mate?” I asked, my brows raised.“Have you done anything like this before?”Heat rose to my cheeks, and I dropped my gaze to the carpeted floor. Griff and I hadn’t gotten that far, considering we’d only been together for one night. He’d spent the entire time fucking me so hard to ensure that I was submissive enough to give up my alpha power.“I know what to do, if that’s what you’re asking,” I said with a tiny smile.He cupped the side of my face. “Are you sure you want to do this?”I met his gaze, which radiated confusion. Raising a hand to smooth out his furrowed brow, I gave him what I thought would be a confident smile. “I want to try it.”Griff took my hand and led me through the cabin, passing the sofa and dining table until we reached the bed. He grabbed a couple of cushions and placed them on the floor.“What’s this?”“If Cathwulf Aibek wants to suck my cock, I’d better make it comfortable.”“Stop talking about me like I’m some great alpha,” I muttered, my gaze d

Heat rose to my cheeks, and my heart made an excited flutter. Griff had never once complimented me on my looks. Somewhere in the back of my mind, Beki barked something, but I was too lost in his scent, in the taste of his flesh, and in the sounds he was making to decipher her meaning.I hummed around my mouthful, making his knees buckle, and a surge of arousal went straight to my core.“Shit,” he hissed. “What are you doing to me, woman?”Pride swelled in my chest. Right now, I held Griff captive—not because of my power. It was the giddiest sensation, but I wanted more.I was so hot, so wet, so needy. The fabric of my hoody itched against my sensitive flesh, and my knickers felt too tight.As I squeezed him around the base with one hand, I reached into the waistband of my pants with another.Griff gasped. “Are you touching yourself?”I nodded around his girth.He moaned. “I turn you on that much.”I gave him an affirmative hum.“Let me lick your wet pussy,” he said. “Get on the bed, s

I sucked in a deep breath, trying to stop Griff’s words from echoing through my skull. He lay opposite me on the mattress, his amber eyes gazing into mine. From the giddy smile curving his lips, it looked like he had meant every word.My lips parted, but all I could do was exhale. Maybe that trip to the cinema had been a turning point in our relationship that I had ruined out of a sense of wanting control, but this blowjob I’d given him just sent us down a path of intimacy that would lead to love.If I didn’t slow things down between us, he would feel even more betrayed when he regained the memory of his death. I whispered, “Griff—”“I already know your response,” he said. “It’s impossible for someone to feel love after getting their cock sucked, but I’ve admired you for over a year. And I know you feel the same.”“That’s not it,” I said.He flinched backward and stared at me as though struck.The train sped through the tunnel under the sea, casting a range of colored light through th

REJECTED MATE Epilogue
Hades was a persistent bastard who continued to attack Shifter City. He sent assassins, spies, and other Trojan horses, but Fenrir was always prepared. With the help of Loki, Ophois, and a few other lupine gods we had encountered during the past fifteen years, Midgard remained the afterlife of choice for all wolves.Our system was simple: the berserkers in the Hellfire Pack would collect the souls of those who died within Shifter City or within the Norse pack’s protected wards. Griff and I would venture out to reap any wolves who died within the Supernatural World.We didn’t even need to hide in the trunk of an Überwald to exit Shifter City. The Hellhounds we rode moved us faster than any speeding vehicle, and the magic protecting our physical forms was powerful enough to shield us from Hades and his enforcers.Griff and I stood within a white room in the Shifter Ward of Atlantis Hospital, waiting for an old she-wolf to take her last breath. We could barely see her through the crowd o
REJECTED MATE 78.3
Guests filled white seats in a large reception hall decorated to resemble a Greek temple. At its very end, Hades stood beneath an archway of mauve calla lilies and pomegranate flowers. He wore an ostentatious oxblood red frock coat with plum-colored embroidery.To his right stood a dark-haired male in a morning suit of the same color, wearing a five o’clock stubble that he probably thought made him look cool.Griff gave me a nudge. “His best man is Lucifer, King of the Seventh Faction.”My brows rose, and I scanned the groom’s side of the room. The entire Supernatural Council sat in the front seats with Captain Caria, who wore a dress for a change and sat beside a dark-haired woman whose features were equally as stern. Azriel perched on his seat behind them, looking like he’d been blackmailed into attending.Among the powerful VIPs, I recognized a dark-skinned couple in Egyptian attire who had to be Isis and Osiris, the aunt and uncle of Ophois and the rulers of the First Faction.

Several days ago, Fenrir had suggested we raid the Fifth Faction on the night of the Strawberry Moon. Now we had retrieved the wolf souls, we no longer needed to perform the heist, but my idea would be the perfect revenge.Fenrir sat behind his desk and folded his arms across his chest. He glanced from me to Griff and said, “This is completely unnecessary. After everything you’ve endured, there’s no need for you to face Hades.”Griff spoke first. “This is the least that bastard deserves. He has to learn that striking at Midgard has consequences.”“Agreed,” Fenrir said. “But I don’t want to put either of you at risk.”“It’ll be worth it to teach him not to embed curses in people’s souls,” I said. “And I also can’t wait to melt the smirk off his face when I interrupt him with his mate.”Griff snarled, remembering how Hades had infiltrated our hotel room just as we had planned to become intimate. It was time to return his gesture with one of our own.Fenrir snickered. “Fine, but doing th

My breath turned quick and shallow, and my gaze remained fixed on what was looking to be a terrible earthquake. “Were the others too late to save the wards?”“It’s Fenrir.” Griff slung an arm around my shoulder and tucked me into his side.The distant hill split into several pieces, and the ground that comprised it tumbled away in an avalanche, revealing a mass of white that took up the landscape. My pulse quickened, but Beki made excited barks as though she was meeting an old friend.“Don’t tell me Fenrir’s the size of a blue whale,” I whispered.Griff rubbed his chin. “He once told me he couldn’t shift without destroying the village, but I didn’t completely understand what he meant until now.”Chunks of land rolled off the massive wolf as it rose onto four legs and raised his head toward the pale sky. Despite having remained underground for goodness knows how long, his fur was as pristine as Beki’s. The only difference between them apart from size was that Fenrir’s wolf had turquois

Flying scorpions hovered above us, breathing plumes of fire over our heads whilst trying to re-form. The other wolf shifters tossed wet stones at the swarm, making them break into further pieces. Roars of triumph mingled with the skin-tightening clicks of armored wings, but none of that mattered. Not while Griff was standing before me and declaring he’d made a mistake.The cacophony of sounds faded into the background, and I gazed into his amber eyes. Amber eyes that shone with love and sorrow and regret. Amber eyes that I could have lost myself in for an eternity. Beki pushed herself against our bond and swooned with joy.I wasn’t quite so hopeful.How many times had I gone through this before? I needed to know that the bond wouldn’t bring up something else that would turn Griff away.“Why?” I asked. “Why did you return if it wasn’t for Fenrir?”The muscles in his handsome face tightened, and his gaze jerked to the side. “I didn’t want you to leave the island,” he said, his voice tig

Mum rushed to our side with a bucket of water and set it on the floor. “I’ll get more.”Some of the other wolves had gathered a pile of rocks around the clearing, only to disappear and fetch more, while a few of them remained to hurl them at Snorri. Each stone that landed dented his huge scorpion body, but it did nothing to break him apart.An idea hit me upside the head. “Dad.” I gave him a nudge in the side. “Let’s try getting these stones wet.”Without another word, he walked to the pile of rocks, gathered up a pair, and dipped them in the water. I left the attackers to join him and took one from his hand.I was no expert on arthropods or any other type of shelled creature, but Dad had once told me on a hunting trip that the protective coverings around their bellies were softer than the ones at their backs.“This way.” I flicked my head toward the obelisk.The other wolf shifters continued their attacks on Snorri, making him lash out at them with his tail, but more importantly, the

By now, the air was thick with smoke, but it was nothing compared to the brimstone of Hell. I’d lost track of the flying scorpions and continued through the trees toward the clearing.The swarm had formed the shape of a centaur-like creature, but with a scorpion body replacing that of an equine. Ten feet tall, it stood on six clawed legs with a tail as long as its spine. Hellfire glowed from its bulbous stinger, forming a line of crimson flames down its back.Its back was turned to me, but the same black carapace covered its human side, ending with a round head peppered with bristles. The creature placed a hand on the surface of the obelisk and drummed its fingers.“Urus, teimas, mannaz, othala,” said the voice of an old man. “What a clever combination. Especially when crossed with wunjo and era. Yes... yes… Fine work.”My lips tightened, and I stormed around to look the scorpion man full in the face. It was the only part of his body not covered in the black shell, and he had the sall

Cold shock barreled through my system, even as my chest exploded with streams of burning scorpions. The last week flashed across my mind, filling me with a painful realization. Hades had attached the curse to the bargain Griff had made with the faeries. He’d given us days five before it took control of Griff’s body and destroyed Shifter City.We’d spent the last five days scrambling around trying to break the curse and transfer it to someone else. We had spent all that time worrying about what was inside Griff and hadn’t given a thought to what Hades might have placed in me.Fuck. Griff and I were mates. Rumpel Kracknuts had even hinted that curses could go deeper than the soul of the afflicted. I’d been too concerned with his murder of the healer to even think that he was hinting that I carried the curse.Bloody Hades had turned me into his Trojan horse, and if I couldn’t find a way to stop the swarm, it wouldn’t just mean the destruction of Midgard. It could mean the end of Shifter

The chief enforcer snorted. “I was a few years younger, but I remember you from the academy. Even back then, I knew you were destined for greatness.”My lips formed a tight line. I didn’t need to read his mind to catch his meaning. Randel couldn’t believe that a man like Griff was capable of achieving all those things without my intervention. As a member of Fenrir’s inner circle, he would have heard about our progress, but I couldn’t let him walk away believing I had done all the work.“Franklin Griffiths is more capable than any wolf. It was his knowledge and strength that got us through our trials, not just mine.”Randel nodded and continued toward the driveway.With a sigh, I pushed open the door and walked through the empty hallway. At this time of the night everyone had gone to bed, and my footsteps echoed in the silence. Damp air filled my nostrils as I descended the darkened stairwell that led to the basement, and I pushed the door open to find Fenrir standing beside the fighti
