Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 37. My mates wedding
Nomia pov Ever since Alpha Zared drank from me he has left me alone. To my relief he also hasn’t called for Ruby and Garnet. So we’re all pretty happy and relaxed. We laugh and make jokes. Emerald and Amethyst have rested and recovered from their work in the brothel. They won’t say much about it. But after that one night with Jared in the Black Swann I have a pretty good idea about the horrors those girls face. Aminta and I hashed things out. We agreed that Zareds behaviour is inexcusable. When we get the chance we leave with Janus, taking Ruby and Garnet with us. I grin at the idea that Janus will have his own little harem, not that he would make a move on one of us. He’s too respectful and sweet for that. I stare out of the carriage window. We’re nearly at Red Star. I’m not looking forward to being back there. Alpha Zared however, is looking forward to the chaos we will cause when Alpha Ahriman sniffs me out and I get to publicly reject him. “That's tomorrow. First there’s to
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 38. Dragons daughter
Zared pov Somehow I’d hoped for more drama. Ahriman on his knees begging Aurum to not reject him or maybe even a full blown tantrum with threats. But it was all quite civilised, and therefore a bit disappointing. We’re now on our way back to Golden Calw. The Aurum is silently crying, leant against the carriage window. Most likely it’s her wolf mourning the broken mate bond. I wish women would just say what’s the matter instead of crying. “No you don’t. You don’t want to hear what’s up. You want them silent or gagging on your dick” Gunther decides to honour me with his insights. I must admit he isn’t wrong, I just hate people crying. Learning that the dragon in my dreams is most likely Einarr was interesting to say the least. Dragons rarely have a mate outside their own species and rarely have more than one kid. This means that when Aurum accepts my proposal I’ll eventually be king of the dragons too. I might want to speed things up by eliminating Einarr as I don’t think I’ll live
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 39. Under the new moon
Nomia pov Since alpha Zared and I returned from Red Star I’ve been angry with him. He now knows my given name but ignores it. Still calling me ‘Aurum’. “He never asked you if you had a name. You know it’s part of his way of letting you know you’re his,” Aminta patient explains. “I know but it still frustrates me.” Though I still feel good about rejecting Ahriman, it felt good, it felt empowering. Also for a first time it was something I wanted to do. It has awoken a fire in me. I want to take control of my life, I want to be free and make my own choices. “Though it’s inconvenient that the didn’t accept the rejection. Now we’re still his mate.” Aminta grumbles. Freedom. Every day the urge to be free becomes stronger. As much as I love Janus I don't want to wait much longer for him to hear back from the dragons or find another option. I want to go rogue with him and see where we end. If it’s with my father, fine. If it’s as a band of rogues always on the run also fine. Ev
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 40. We Iive on
Janus pov Things are off. Alpha Zared killed Malachite but gave her a proper service. He’s never before given any of his girls a proper farewell service. He even tried to give her a proper eulogy, it was awkward and very unlike Zared. Alpha Zared is not only acting different, he also seems to be in pain. He is wearing loose shirts and has not joined any training. But he’s like a ghost, slinking around but mainly in his office. I feel like I’m running the place. But the most remarkable thing is that he hasn’t called for any of his girls. As far as my knowledge goes he also hasn’t left the packhouse to visit a brothel. While Zared and Aurum leave for Alpha Ahriman's wedding I have the time to study other places to take Aurum and the twins to and build a new life. I’ve nog given up on the dragons and have sent them another letter requesting permission to live on their side of the border. In the meantime I gather things we could need on our trip. The girls only have their workout
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 41. Respect
Zared pov Dammit! When Janus mind linked me with the information that the attack we were dealing with is a diversion I immediately ran down the tower stairs to follow him. It all made sense, but I hadn’t connected the dots. As soon as I leave the tower Ahriman’s men flock around me. Not actively trying to engage me but definitely slowing me down so the bastard Ahriman can find Aurum and get out. “Kill them! He can’t have Aurum,” Gunther growls, eager to shift. /Warriors! Get those pesky Red Star fleas off of me! I need to go to the packhouse and find Ahriman./ Immediately warriors come over to free me. /Zared! Zared Please answer! The attackers they're here! They’re breaking down the door. It won't hold much longer!/ Amethyst sounds frantic./Janus and I are on our way! It is Ahriman, he is coming for Aurum/ I run faster. Janus is a good warrior but no match for Ahriman. I just hope he can keep him busy until I get there to end things. As I enter the quarters where the girls liv
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 42. Until we meet again
Nomia pov The moment Amethyst and Emerald tell us Golden Claw is under attack a paralysing sense of dread takes over. Somehow I know it’s Ahriman coming to find me, I feel it in my bones. Maybe it’s the matebond sensing my mate is near. As he didn’t accept my rejection I can only assume he’s here to take me back to Red Star for I don’t know what. As much as I despise Alpha Zared his ways and motives I despise Ahriman more. I decide that this is the moment to share that Ahriman is my mate. That he, on discovering that I was his mate, had me brought to the auction. The others frown when they hear Alpha Zared took me to Red Star knowing Ahriman is my mate. And anger is visible when they hear that Ahriman didn’t accept my rejection. Ruby and Garnet move close to me and promise to protect me. A promise we all know can’t be kept. The three of us have been trained in defence not offence and Ahriman is a vicious and strong fighter. I can not verbally respond, but I nod. Determined to go do
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 43. Now what
The pyres holding the five fallen pack members are now reduced to a heap of smouldering ashes. The smell of burnt flesh and wood heavy in the air, reminding everyone that we have lost people. The smell will be noticeable for a couple of days. Which is why I prefer to bury those who didn’t die honourably. It’s cleaner and quicker. I need to get to work. Without a gamma and beta everything is my responsibility. I want to kill Ahriman, which can be done in a few seconds. But then I would still need to travel to Red Star to claim his pack. Without a beta and gamma I can’t travel for days, I can’t leave Golden Claw without anyone in charge. A frustrated growl escapes me. Gunther is pacing restlessly in my head, making it even harder to think clearly. I groan and get up from my chair. Janus was making a list of possible gamma’s. He was precise so I should be able to find it. “Someone has to clean his house,” Gunther adds another item to the todo list. “The girls can do it, it will keep th
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 44. I am Dysnomia
Dysnomia pov My body goes numb and I feel I’m lifted from my bed. The sensation is not like falling or what I imagine flying would be like. More like someone lifts you up and holds you close. I feel safe and wrapped in a comfortable warmth. Then I feel grass beneath my bare feet, the smell of flowers enters my nose. I don't know where I am but somehow it feels familiar like a home I never had. The forest at the edge of the field seems to call to me and I slowly walk towards it. With a pang in my heart I suddenly think about my dream with the cottage and Janus, would that be here? If I walk into the forest will I find the clearing with the cottage? Is this a dream? “It feels too real to be a dream,” Aminta sounds relaxed, she doesn't sense danger.Suddenly it doesn’t make sense anymore; it all feels safe and familiar yet I know I’ve never been here before. I feel a slight unease rise, “Aminta? Do you know where we are? How did we get here? And why does it feel the way it does?”“No

Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 66. Together (Epilogue Zared)
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
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 65. Never had I ever (Epilogue Dysnomia)
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
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 64. Closure
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
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 60. Wounded
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’
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 59. Derora
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
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 58. Goals
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
