REJECTED MATE Chapter 58
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
REJECTED MATE Chapter 59
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

Griff wrapped an arm around my shoulder and tucked me into his side. “Last night, after I walked you back to your mansion’s gates, I knew things would change between us.”“What do you mean?” I placed a hand on his hairy thigh.“I finally got a glimpse of the sensual woman beneath your cool exterior.” He chuckled. “It was like opening Pandora’s box and only getting the white butterflies.”My lips curled into a smile. Little did Griff know that my actions the next day had set us back several months.“When we get to London, we’ll get an advocate who specializes in faerie contracts.”“Good idea,” he said. “Do you know any?”“I can look them up on your phone.”Griff grunted his approval. “You’ll have to teach me to use that thing.”An announcement on the loudspeaker warned the train would be approaching Lower Santorini in ten minutes, so we drew the curtains, enclosing ourselves in the dark.Griff laid me on the mattress and positioned himself on top of me, placing slow kisses over my neck
