Zared pov

Finally! Finally, Aurum will be receiving her wolf! I assume anyway; not a lot is known about dragon hybrids - if that is what she is - so I can only assume she'll receive a wolf. Maybe with some sexy dragon perks. Maybe she'll be more powerful than Gunther?

Gunther scoffs. “She'll be powerful alright, but I don't see her being more powerful than me.”

“Besides,” he huffs “raw power is nothing if you don't know how to wield it. You should know that: you're only where you are because I'm an experienced wolf,” he gloats.

“Yes Gunther, you are strong but I won’t rule out she will be stronger. The ward, her eyes, she is shrouded in mystery and magic. Which is why I need to swoop in gracefully and make her realise that I’m not only her owner but also the one that she has to submit and surrender her powers to.”

The past few weeks we have watched her training; seen how she looked up at Janus. I've concluded from those looks that she trusts easily. I know he won't make a m

    Nomia povI’ve been unable to focus on anything all day. I am too excited for tonight when I will finally have a wolf. I will no longer be ‘wolfless little Aurum’ to everyone. I’ve been nervously pacing through our quarters. Distracting everyone from whatever they were trying to do. Garnet slapped me with a growl when I caused her to lose her count in her crochet piece. Ruby tried to calm my nerves by chattering more than usual. I don’t even know what we were talking about. Malachite growled and swiped but missed. She then retreated to her room. Emerald and Amethyst looked at me with mixed emotions. Happy for me to gain my wolf, but sad because they know that the next step is training me to be with Alpha Zared. As always the day passed and I am now in my room resting myself for dinner. A soft knock sounds on my door; Amethyst enters my room looking confused. “Gamma Janus is here to collect you for dinner with Alpha Zared. I feel my mood drop from over excited to anxious. Dinner w

    Nomia pov The door clicking closed is muffled as I'm smothered in Amethyst's arms. Emerald wraps her arms around me from behind, forming a warm, but slightly awkward sandwich. “We're so happy for you!”“We're so proud of you!” “Your smile is beautiful!” They each take turns exclaiming as we stand there, huddled together. Wait. Nervously, I poke my gums with my tongue… teeth! I have a full set of straight teeth! My eyes well with tears and for the first time ever, they're tears of joy. “Please accept these as my welcome gift” Aminta yawns as she curls up, placing her tail over her nose. “Thank you! Thank you Aminta! Thank you! I promise I will be the best possible host!” She smiles sleepily “I know you will, sweet girl. I must sleep now - merging with you and giving you new teeth has taken it out of me. Luckily it was a full moon and clear skies tonight” “Let's get you in the bath Aurum. You look dead on your feet. Once you're awake again you can tell us everything! About dinn

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   18. Dilemma’s

    Zared povI've been pacing my office for the past few hours. My girls got into a fight with each other. They’re now all knocked out and tethered to their beds. And I need to think about how to proceed. The easiest solution would be to throw them to the brothels and buy new girls and if it weren’t for Aurum I probably would. “Sell the others off and keep Aurum,” Gunther offers. “Not an option, Aurum is deeply attached to the twins.”After her shifting both Gunther and I felt her amazing power. I have no doubt that with a bit of guidance she can eventually ignore commands. Gunther played tag with her wolf. She’s fast and agile. A force to be reckoned with. With proper training she’ll be a true warrior. Half of me recognises that I should see her as a threat. The other half is seriously turned on. She’s intriguing. “We can’t have a mate stronger than us, we’ll need to have her accept us as a chosen mate and then submit to us so we can wield her power,” Gunther muses. “But I don’t w

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   19. Punishment

    Nomia povWe’ve been ordered to the living room. Alpha Zared is standing in the middle, looking mean. His powerful aura exudes anger. Somehow though, I’m not as scared as I think I would have been before Aminta. “Stay down! Act scared! We need to survive” Aminta hisses from inside my head. Then she sucks some of her power in, my eyes widen at how different it feels. My body trembles in anticipation and I realise… now I look appropriately frightened. I look at the floor, trying to hide my smile. Even Malachite has enough common sense to not say anything. She’s stock still and glaring at the floor. “I am beside myself” Alpha Zared seethes. “Do you know how furious this whole thing makes me?!” he yells the word ‘furious’ and even I flinch away from him. “It was suggested that I sell you all to the brothels… but I have poured so much time and money into you! Not to mention you’re so used, I would never make my money back” he sneers. “I have given you everything you could ever want and n

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   20. Solitary confinement

    Nomia pov The next morning I’m woken by a tray being set on the ground, not a word is spoken. I don’t even see who put it there. After breakfast I decide to take a bath and relax. Alpha Zared is gone for the next few days so I can skip the makeup. Aminta and I discuss the catastrophic lunch fight and the whipping of Emerald and Amethyst while we float in the warm water. When I’m finished I wrap my hair in a towel and with my robe hanging open I walk back into my bedroom only to get the fright of my life: Beta Jared is sitting in my bed with a vile grin on his face. “Good morning little Aurum,” he sneers, “You owe me an apology for yesterday. Janus is currently training the warriors, by the way, and these rooms are sound proof.” He leaves the last part about there being no point in my screaming unspoken. I receive his message loud and clear. I feel anger rising, the absolute rat bastard, Aminta is growling in my head, foaming at the mouth. I ignore him, and walk to my closet. Befo

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   21. Listening in

    Janus pov The moment Garnet did that impressive twist and kicked me full in the balls I knew serious trouble would be unavoidable. The least of my worries was if I’d ever be able to have children. I worried for her safety. Zared would presumably kill her for this, or maybe worse, give her to Jared. From my fetal position on the floor I watched in horror as Jared pulls his fist back in what would surely be an a killing blow to Garnets head. I try to get to my feet but I already know I won’t be fast enough. Then, from the corner of my eye I see Aurum take a leap. Her kick strong and precise full in Jared’s balls. Goddess I hope she’s rendered the bastard infertile. It’s this moment that Zared and a handful of guards barge in. Whacking Malachite, Garnet and Aurum unconscious within seconds after entering. “Weaklings!” Zared sneers, “You’ve been beaten up by girls! How are you my Beta and Gamma? How can you call yourselves guards? Bring them to their rooms and tie them down.”

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   22. That wasn’t the deal

    Nomia povThe night maid ending her shift wakes me by throwing a scratchy brown dress over my face. The rough fabric irritates my skin as I drag it off me. The night maid scowls at me before stalking out of the room. It's earlier than usual. I cringe as I put on the dress and, not for the first time since Alpha Zared announced our punishment, I wonder if those working in the kitchen are servants or slaves. Thus far I'd been of the opinion that Golden Claw took better care of their wolves than Red Star. Today I’ll learn if that’s true or not. I feel Aminta restlessly pacing in my head. “Hell yes. I’m restless. I have to stay calm and not rip their throats out.” She growls at me. “We have to accept being humiliated now. I don’t like it one little bit.”“Can you tell me more later? I want to know more about my heritage. My father was a dragon but my mother? What was she? Who were my parents? How did they meet? Was I wanted?”Aminta makes a sound that’s something between a huff, a sigh

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   23. I’m the Alpha

    Zared pov“Who will go first?” I ask the girls, before they can answer Jared volunteers Aurum. I knew he had it out for her because she kicked him in the balls and hard. But what is he up to? Why does he want her to be first so desperately?I fully expected him to go full out on her with the whip. The cat ‘o nine tails does serious damage due to the little metal beads that are knotted into each of the tails.To my fury I see that he has taken the silver laced one, and drenched it in wolfsbane too. “You didn’t explicitly say to not do it,” Gunther points out. “I shouldn’t have had to; the rule is always the normal whip unless I order otherwise.” I growl back at him.Gunther growls so loud that my skull vibrates. “You need more practice, he snarls at me, “Jared wanted revenge and he didn’t have to go out of his way to get it. YOU gave him ample opportunity. He indicated he wanted to whip them to the bone and fuck them until they die.”“Jared STOP!” I yell but he’s already gotten the

    Zared pov In my wildest dreams I hadn’t imagined how much and how hard work it would be to be Alpha King and father. Dysnomia demanded I also played a very active part in raising Derora and Arathorn. I was clueless how to be a ‘good father’. I only saw my father at dinner and then I was supposed to be quiet. Only when I turned 15 and my wolf was less than a year away did he start spending time with me. Grooming me to be his perfect successor. His lessons in fighting were brutal. He didn’t hold in his punches because if I found myself in a situation the opponent wouldn’t hold back either. I learned to duck and evade first. Once I had Gunther I gained strength. When I learned I could trust on Gunther's speed and experience I started throwing punches at him. So when Dysnomia handed me a very stinky Derora with an overflowing poop diaper with the words “I already had two of these today, this one is yours,” I was beyond clueless. “Goddess please help me with strength and wisdom. It’s

    Dysnomia “Neptunes nipples,” I mutter to myself. I really want to finish this blanket before Derora gives birth. But the light is too dim for my poor eyesight. “Getting older is a curse. I can’t crochet for hours, my back hurts and my fingers are more crooked than the twigs of a serpentine hazel.” “Talking to yourself again?” Zared rhetorically asks as he enters the room, “I think it’s cute that you do that nowadays. Talking, or more accurately muttering, to myself is one of the most irritating things of being older. I often do it without realising. It frequently leads to over sharing of information. Even though Zared is older than me he is in a far better shape. I continue muttering under my breath ignoring Zared. He walks over and switches on a special reading lamp lamp with a magnifying glass attached we got in the human realm a few months earlier. Before we came to this era of relative peace people didn’t get this old. When I shift, which is rare nowadays, Aminta no longer

    Dysnomia pov The sun peeps in through a crack in the curtains. I turn my back to the window and pull the blanket over my head. Of course I knew that having sex on a very regular basis with Zared could get me pregnant again but I’d foolishly hoped that it would take years not months. A soft knock on the door that I can but don’t want to ignore announces Austra with Derora. I sit up and plaster a smile on my face. I know the smile will be genuine in a few seconds when she hands me my little girl. Austra walks in holding my squirming little cherub. Her brown eyes have tiny golden specks showing that she too has some dragon magic. “Mwa!” Derora happily shouts out. I’m still not sure if she is trying to say ‘Mine’ or ‘Mama’. The one perk of being pregnant is that I can stay in bed and cuddle with her whilst the rest of the world is already going through the motions. I get ready with Derora playing and babbling on the bed. Once downstairs I go to my office. Zared is out hunting rebel

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   63. Regnum Lunae Lupi

    Dysnomia povToday Zared and I will be crowned Alpha King and Alpha Queen of ‘Regnum Lunae Lupi’. Over the past weeks we have planned this day and the future of our kingdom together. The planning has given us a common goal to work on and has significantly improved our relationship. There are still trust issues on both sides. Encouraged by Gunther and Aminta we spend time with just the three of us. Breanna, Bridget and Zared haven’t spoken since that fateful full moon. They don’t want to apologise to Zared and Zared doesn’t want to listen to their grievances. It is quite inconvenient to have the beta’s and the Alpha not communicating. That is the root cause of guilt issues on my side. I’m stuck between my mate and my best friends. They understand me and feel bad that they hurt Zared in such a way that it puts me in a difficult position with both Aminta and with Zared. But they don’t feel bad for Zared about it or the act itself. Zared on the other hand won’t admit that he deserved

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   62. Bury the hatchet

    Zared povI didn’t expect to sleep peacefully, I expected to lay awake, tossing and turning. My sack hurt too much, my head was a turmoil. Gunther tried his best to take away the pain but the incision was made with a silver knife. Thank the Goddess Breanna stitched it fairly neatly with a hot needle. It hurt just like the alcohol hurt. But Gunther said it will make the difference between losing my remaining testicle and maybe my life to an infection or being to live on. It will scar, silver almost always does. Even if the scars are invisible you feel them when the temperature changes or when the skin stretches. In my case I will be painfully reminded of this ordeal every time I get an erection as it will put tension on my sack. Which is at least once a day when I wake up with morning wood. The anger was indescribable. The betrayal Janus and Dysnomia committed still burns. I felt love and pride looking at the pup in Dysnimia’s arms. Gunther presented me visions of us being a happy fa

  • Rejected Slave, Fated Queen   61. Aftermath

    Dysnomia povMy arm hurts. After giving birth Aminta didn’t have enough in her to heal it. It was bone deep. I shudder at the idea that it wasn't my arm but Derora that received the full blow. Breanna and Bridget informed me they had dragged a barely resisting Zared to the dungeon. He is in the same cell that Ahriman occupied. When Breanna and Bridget mind link me again with the question if they can torture him I hesitate. He is my mate after all. Part of me can’t blame him for what he did. He has been trying so hard the last months to get in my good books to earn my forgiveness. There were even times when I thought I could leave the past behind me and find happiness with Zared. It would never be the all consuming love that I felt, no feel, for Janus but it could have been a good life for both of us. /No don’t torture him just yet. Let me think. I’m a mess right now,/ I answer them. Should I kill Zared for the attempted murder of the heir of our yet to be named Kingdom? “You thoug

    Zared povI knew most of the Alpha’s would use the time between signing the treaty and Dysnomia and I coming to their packs to merge them to strengthen their defences. Luckily for us they had no allies to fall back on. The vampires and Fae kept to themselves luckily for us. Fighting them isn’t impossible but it comes at a price. The price being the lives of warriors. “It was good to kill those four Alpha’s though. I was like the good old times when we were young and wild,” Gunther tries to sound like he’s reminiscing about old times. Instead he sounds a little too sarky. “We’re still young and wild as we’re out here in the pouring rain rounding up rogues to see if they want to become law abiding citizens of our new, yet to be named Kingdom.” “True and most don’t so we get to kill them,” Gunther doesn’t even try to hide his enthusiasm over the number of rogues we killed in the past days. Those who did want to join were mostly young, having escaped slavery and a few mates that couldn’

    Dysnomia povZared and I are nearing the borders of Alpha Williams’ Silver Blood pack to induct the pack member in what is now still Golden Claw. We have brought a considerable number of warriors with us as Aminta, Zared and Gunther are convinced Alpha William will have barricaded himself in and fight instead of honouring the treaty.I had hoped to manage a peaceful assimilation and even offered them to become our advisors and let them keep their sex slaves to manage that. The moment we are at the borders we are denied access by the guards. Zared and I have agreed that there will be no second chances for any of the alpha’s should they try to back. I know Zared was hoping that at least one would back out so he could show them that he is still the strongest Alpha. The hunt to find Alpha William is on. /Team Gold! Join me into the heart of the territory. We are hunting down William, when you find him you will incapacitate him and notify me. We are going for a public execution of a tr

    Zared pov It was an eye opener to hear that Dysnomia wants me to experience the same things she did. But what she isn’t taking into account is that I have the mate bond pushing me towards her. Maybe, more importantly, I’m not her. I can endure to achieve a goal. My goal is and always has been to be the most powerful alpha. I needed her to be able to kill Ahriman and I didn’t even know it at the time. I assumed I would need her power. But I needed her to get Ahriman into Golden Claw where I could capture and then kill him. Another difference is that I, unlike women, don’t think too much about things. I enjoy the sensation of her massaging my prostate. Yes, it’s slightly awkward especially with Celeste watching and coaching Dysnomia but I park those thoughts. “That doesn’t make it easier to earn her forgiveness,” Gunther dryly remarks. “We need her to achieve our goals.” “With Ahriman gone, we no longer need her. The few remaining Alpha’s we can handle by ourselves..”“Getting rid
