Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 10. First day
Nomia POVI stir as a soft knocking rouses me from sleep. The door cracks open without me responding and a smiling Amethyst enters the room. “Good morning Aurum! I hope you’re ready for a brand new day. I think you could call this the first day of the rest of your life.” Amethyst chirrups as she flings open the curtains. “Now, let's choose a dress.” “I’m ready” I lie. “Tsk” Amethyst tuts. “You don’t have to lie dear.” She shakes her head sadly. “I don’t know anything about your past. I won’t ask!” she interrupts her own sentence. “But you left that past behind when Alpha Zared brought you here. Your body tells me all I need to know about your previous life. Change is coming - a big change. Now get out of bed, we’ll start with your morning routine.” Surprisingly, I am somewhat reassured. So I get out of bed and follow Amethyst to my en suite bathroom. The bathtub is filled with hot water and a luscious amount of floral smelling oils. “The oils keep your skin soft, supple and fragr

Nomia povDays slowly turn into weeks. With the passing of each one, I grow more accustomed to my skincare routine, more comfortable in the dresses, more confident in heels. I learn how to play instruments, how to craft and to read. Now I no longer spend every waking minute in fear of a beating because I am not working hard enough. I have time to observe my surroundings and I start recognising patterns. I notice that when Gamma Janus comes to take Malachite to Alpha Zared she psyches herself up; dressing skimpily and putting on more makeup. The day after she has bags under her eyes and she’s even more vile. Everyone gets sneered at; she doesn't pass up any opportunity to bring someone down or say something unnecessarily mean. Her temper flares and she picks a fight with whoever will rise to the occasion. Mostly it’s Garnet.The twins react differently when Gamma Janus comes to collect them. He almost always collects both of them. Rarely just one. If he does it is mostly Garnet. Alon

Janus pov 5 months earlier/Gamma Janus! Gamma Janus! Wake up! Please wake up! Come immediately!/ the panicked voice of Amethyst wakes me. /Gamma Janus! It’s Opal and Sapphire they are… they are dead/ Amethyst's distress is palpable and startles me upright. Jumping out of bed, I grab some clothes; pulling them on as I rush to the concubine quarters. Something is clearly very wrong, as the guards let me through without question. The moment the doors open, I realise why as the stench of fresh blood overwhelms me. I run toward the bedrooms, and find Amethyst and Emerald sitting in the corridor beside the two lifeless bodies of what were, up until a few minutes ago, two beautiful kind hearted girls. Their clothes are torn, clumps of hair litter the floor around them.It's the matching silver daggers sticking out if each girl’s chest that stops me in my tracks though. Clearly, this is more than a simple cat fight gone wrong; but where the hell did these daggers come from? My wolf is re

Nomia POV I had hoped that the walk with Malachite would have changed her demeanour. That she would realise that I’m no threat to her. We’re all in the same situation and supporting each other will make all our lives more comfortable. The twins and I have created the habit of playing board or card games after dinner. Bonding without talking but by sharing looks. Even though I’m filling up nicely according to Emerald and Amethyst, I’ve not been called for by Alpha Zared. He is still relentlessly calling upon the other girls though he is now calling for the twins separately. Which gives everyone about two days recuperation time instead of one. During out daily walks I have taken to talking to whoever I’m walking with. My need to understand the power dynamics in Golden Claw in general and our little group especially outweigh the risk that I irritate someone. During a walk with Amethyst I tried to carefully voice my concern that Alpha Zared hasn’t called me. But Amethyst assured me that

Nomia POV Everyone keeps telling me to be patient. That my body is strong enough or almost strong enough to host my wolf. But I still don’t have her. Every day I wake up, still wolfless and a little more disappointed than the day before. I'm starting to worry that Alpha Zared is growing tired of waiting for my wolf to appear and he'll just take me, breaking or killing me in the process. Or he'll sell me off to a brothel. Emerald and Amethyst assure me that isn't that case. I dare not ask Janus if he knows how Alpha Zared feels about me still being wolfless. My hair is now thick, shiny and wavy. I’ve developed all the desirable female curves. My body is toned after the many hours spent training with Janus, yet supple and soft due to the yoga. But all my beauty fades the moment I smile or speak; my mouth is still almost toothless. The few teeth I have are still discoloured and crooked. I will have an old ladies mouth until my wolf shows up and is strong enough to grant me new teeth.

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.

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
