TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 54
AxelLuna’s denial crushes my lungs so hard I can’t take a breath. After she answers, she scurries away from the table and races upstairs, as if she can’t bear to see my face. I pace the floor, prowling through the house that should be ours to fill with children and nice things, but instead is a lonely, dusty bachelor pad without Luna.At last, I climb the stairs to the second floor and knock on the door of the room I prepared for her. I’m met with stony silence. At least I know she’s still in there because even a wolf can’t jump from the second-floor window without being injured in the fall. I can hear her on the other side of the door, anyway, can smell her and sense her presence just out of reach. Her wolf calls to mine, and my wolf roars for me to tear down the door and go to her, claim her fully this time. I fucked her during our mate bonding, but I never came, and my wolf is tormented with the memory that our claiming was never completed. He wants Luna, wants to claim every part

My chest does a funny little squeeze, and I almost lose my breath at the thought that maybe she tried to escape out the window after all. Tucking my towel around my hips, I sneak down the hall and press my ear to her door. When they say “lovesick,” they’ve got it right, because this is an illness I can’t seem to shake.I can’t hear anything but deep breathing, so she must be asleep. But I have to know for sure, have to see with my own eyes that she’s here, in our home. Slowly, I turn the door handle to her room. It doesn’t make a soundas it unlatches. I open the door and wait for a shoe to be thrown at me or maybe one of the kitchen knives. When she doesn’t hurl anything my way, I step into the bedroom I set up just for her, knowing she’d want her own space.“Luna,” I whisper in the darkness, turning over the beautiful word in my mouth, my fingers curling against the urge to touch her soft skin, to make sure she’s real.I’ve seen she’s here, and I know I should leave, but I can’t see

Luna“No,” Axel says flatly, rolling away from me, onto his back. I can feel his wolf raging inside him, though, and mine cowers. Somehow, by some wolf bond, she can feel how irate he is at my request. Axel the man may be keeping himself under control, but his wolf is wild with fury, and I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to control it right now. He’s so strong, stronger than anyone I’ve ever met, to contain that level of wolf fury. The mattress vibrates from the energy pouring out of him, but he doesn’t move a muscle to tear me apart like his wolf wants to.Still, I feel like I’m going to be shoved through the wall from the force of his wolf’s anger.I shrink away from him, covering my face with my hands. “Okay,” I say meekly, pulling my knees up to my chest to protect myself from his wolf’s outrage, in case it gets loose.“Shit,” he groans. “You can feel that, can’t you? My wolf?” He turns to me, and I can feel him watching in the near darkness, though my hands are still

Axel’s nose keeps skimming the earth as we trot through the woods. I don’t know what he’s sniffing for, but I sniff, too. I take in all the scents of those who have traversed this land—rabbits and rats, snakes and lizards, even a big old gator. I come across a wolf scent, and my heart soars. I linger at the spot, trying to figure out who it belongs to. Is it one of the triplets, or do all wolves share this smell?Axel doubles around and checks out what I’m doing. He politely sniffs, too, then turns away and bumps me with his shoulder, indicating I should follow. Some faint stirring tickles my brain as if he’s trying to communicatewith me, wolf to wolf, but I can’t hear more than his emotions, since I’m not bonded into the pack to hear his thoughts. Maybe he’s saying, “This is wolf territory—get used to it.”Since I can’t really pick up his communication, I leave my investigation and trot behind him. Deeper in the marsh, Axel pauses, lifts his head, and scents something. I follow his

LunaI know better than to think I can escape a more muscular, older wolf, but I still run. I’m acting on wolf instinct, not human logic. I dodge shrubs, leap over stones, splash through a marshy area. I can feel eyes on me, can smell a wolf, but when I look over my shoulder, I see nothing but the shadowy forest. Did Axel let me go, or did I somehow manage to escape?A sense of giddiness crashes against the fear rippling through my body at the thought of him chasing me again, like he did outside the vampire’s lair.Then guilt tugs at my heart, because as much as my body and my wolf adore Axel, my heart still belongs to the three men who saved me when Axel didn’t—who saved me from what he did to me.I’ll find my way back. I can do it.I glance over my shoulder again, and finding no one in pursuit, I slow my frenetic pace. But when my head swings forward again, my heart leaps into my throat. Axel bears down on me, his teeth pulled back in a snarl.The bastard got ahead of me!Before I c

I gasp and open my thighs, pushing my pussy into his hand.“Answer me, Luna,” he growls in that same sharp-edged voice. He drives a second finger into me. “What did you let the last one do? Did you let him lick this sweet cunt like I did last night? Or are they too proud to eat pussy?”“Nothing,” I whisper, thinking of how Callan dyed my hair and pushed his cock up against me until we both nearly exploded.“It doesn’t look like nothing,” Axel says. “It doesn’t feel like nothing.Your cunt’s dripping for them.”“He didn’t do anything.” My gaze whips toward Axel, and anger replaces memory of Callan. “What’s it to you? They saved me after you—”“Believe me, I know what I did,” Axel growls, grinding his cock into my thigh while his fingers pump relentlessly into my slick tightness. “I get to be tortured by you every fucking day. How could I forget?”“Tortured? How am I torturing you?” I buck my hips, panting for more.He’s torturing me by not letting me find my satisfaction.He groans and

LunaWhen my eyes flutter open, I’m lying on the ground. Axel is kneeling over me. He slips a couple fingers into me before drawing them out and rubbing the musky-smelling cream into the gashes his teeth left in my neck. My wolf growls with pleasure though it burns. He dips his fingers in me again, then rubs it into the wounds I left on his own shoulders.“What are you doing?” I demand, sitting up and closing my knees. “It’s a mating practice,” he says.“What is that?” I ask, looking down as more of the stuff trickles out of me, running down my thighs.“It’s my seed,” he says. “You can rub it into your cuts to bond with me.You can rub yours into mine, too.”“What kind of seeds?” I ask, narrowing my eyes.“Wolf seed,” he says. “When we mate during your heat, that’s what will makes the baby grow inside you.”“I don’t want your baby inside me,” I say, wiping the stuff off my thighs. I sniff my fingers, and my wolf nearly swoons with pleasure. I had extra liquid after I mated with Warri

Axel looks up from his seat at the table. A tray of smoked and dried meat and cheeses rests in front of him, along with two uncapped beers in frosted bottles. His hair is damp, and it hangs in soft curls at his neck. He’s wearing jeans and a skin-tight t-shirt that shows off his rippling muscles. Before I can stop my thoughts, my wolf pushes forward with pride and admiration at the strong, commanding presence of our Alpha.No, not our Alpha, I remind her. Warrick is our Alpha.Our mate, then, she argues. But he’s not our mate, either. He’s our captor.“Have a seat,” Axel says. “I want to talk to you about pack law. As the Alpha and his mate, we’re part of a larger family—the Jacksonville pack. And that pack is part of an even bigger family—the southeast territory. Then there’s the United States, and beyond that, the werewolf race as a whole. There are packs all around the world. Each of those levels within the hierarchy has rules and structures to maintain.”I take a drink of beer, th

Callan and Ethan position their shoulders against the door, crouched between Axel’s and Warrick’s spread legs. Water has begun seeping across the floor, leaking from under the door dining room door as well as the front door.“On three,” booms Axel. “One, two, three.”They grunt, straining against the door as it gives a couple of inches. Small waves slosh against Ethan’s and Callan’s knees on the floor. “On, three,” Axel commands again. “One, two, three.”They get a few more inches of space in the door.“One more shot, and we got it,” he says. “Ready?” The other men nod.“One, two, three,” he roars, as if priming himself for the ultimate exertion.This time the door opens wide.Warrick, Axel, Ethan, and Callan move away from the door. Water rushes out, since apparently the dining room is more flooded. Water drips from Callan and Ethan as they stand. The drips echo into the water sloshing up to their ankles.Borris rushes into the room as much as one can run while splashing through wat
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 85
LunaWarrick, Ethan, Callan, Axel, and I sit around Axel’s kitchen table, drinking beer and talking, trying to ignore the storm gathering strength outside and hoping it won’t be a big one.Warrick and Axel are already talking pack strategy, Axel filling in the new Second about pack laws. Even though Warrick can’t officially start until we’re sworn in, Axel sharing the details is a sign of trust that goes a long way. Instead of growling and snapping, Warrick is soaking it up like a sea sponge. It’s good to see them working together instead of tearing at each other’s throats.Callan nudges me under the table with his feet, bringing my attention to him. He gives me a smile and a wink that makes my heart flip, then takes a swig of his beer. My whole belly fills up with warmth. Ethan squeezes my hand on the other side. I want to stay this way forever, but a loud banging on the front door interrupts.“That doesn’t sound good,” Axel said, pushing up to his feet. “Must be an emergency for som
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 84
LunaI’m still humming with the bliss of orgasm and the satisfaction my wolf feels at being claimed by Axel when I look up and see three hulking shapes standing in the doorway.“Oh,” I cry, scrambling up right on Ama’s dead body.Axel sucks in a breath, and I realize he’s still knotted up inside me. “What are you doing here?” I ask the triplets.“We got worried about you,” Ethan says. “We thought something might have happened to you.”“And now we can see that something did happen to you. He happened to you.” Warrick steps through the doorway and charges toward us as if he’s going to fight with Axel again. I wince when Axel pulls the swollen base of his cock from me, stepping in front of me to block Warrick’s path.“Wait,” I cry, leaping to my feet and darting between the two men. “Axel saved my life.”Warrick halts, eyes the dead wolf, and then turns to us. His gaze sweeps my bruised, battered body, covered with bumps and scrapes. “What happened?” he demands.“Ama tried to kill me,” I
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 83
AxelSomething is wrong. I can feel it somehow, even though Luna hasn’t sworn into the pack, so we don’t share the pack bond. But we still share some other bond, a curse that ties me to her no matter how much I deny it. My wolf frets inside me, sure that something is not right.I sigh and try to focus again, piling sandbags along the edge of Kato’s backyard to keep the water at bay. Luna finally got it through my thick head that she’s with them now, not me. She wants nothing to do with me. She’s got three thugs protecting her, and even though they’re worthless wastes of wolf skin, they’re not going to let anyone touch her. They’d rip anyone’s head off who tried. It’s a miracle they put up with me as long as they did. If I’d understood how things were, I would have walked away before. But I listened to my wolf, and I sure as fuck suffered enough for it. I don’t need to go running to her house now. I never want to set foot in that place again.But the little voice in the back of my mind
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 82
LunaThe tempest is on its way, and I think it’s going to tear me from everyone and everything, just like in my dream. The winds are howling, screaming through the rafters, whistling through the telephone poles. Axel hasn’t stopped by to make sure we’re safe, even though I put my name on his list like he asked. He’s supposed to tell us where to go if things get worse. We’re not safe—we never even got the shutters on. The triplets are frantically trying to get them up before the worst of it hits.While they’re busy, I decide to run back to Axel’s and get the emergency plan myself, since he was too mad to bring it to me. Head down, raincoat wrapped around my body and tied securely at the waist, I power through the wind that nearly takes me off my feet. When I get to his porch, I have to pry open the screen door with both hands. I don’t bother knocking, just hurl myself inside and release the door, afraid it’ll knock me out if it hits me.“Axel? That you?” comes a dreaded, familiar voice
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 81
We sit in silence for a minute, and I try to ignore the weight and heat of Luna’s body in my lap. “Have you always been mean?” she asks after a while.“Nah, not always,” I say. “I thought I loved a woman once—the first woman I ever fucked. But I was just a pup like you—even younger. I didn’t know better.”“Better than what?”“I must’ve been sixteen, and she was twenty-four, twenty-five.”“So?” Luna says. “I’m eighteen, and you guys are twice my age.”“But it’s different with you.” I bunch her flying hair in my hand and hold it behind her head.“How so?” she asks, staring up at me with open curiosity.“I don’t know.” I shrug. “It just is. You’re fucking irresistible.”I like how with her, there’s no games. She doesn’t know to play coy, to hide what she truly wants and pretend to be what someone else wants until she has him reeled in. She’s just herself, our luscious little Luna, and that’s a thousand times more enticing than any put-on air.“What happened with the older woman?” Luna as
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 80
EthanThe wild winds have already begun testing the roof’s mettle, so after the hunt, I start gathering my tools to work on it. This storm’s going to be a bitch. The clouds look like bloated cows, and every body of water has white-capped waves. Mother Nature’s serving us up one whale of a weather front—for the millionth time this decade. We just can’t catch a break around these parts.“What are you doing?” Luna asks, watching me as I buckle on my tool belt.“Gonna go make sure your pretty little house doesn’t flood,” I say,smiling down at her. “Secure the shingles and add shutters to the windows.” “Can I come?”I open my mouth to say no, she’ll ask too many questions and slow me down. But she stares up at me with her big pretty eyes, and my resolve crumbles. I just can’t take it when she fixes me with those purple doe eyes. I can’t bring myself to deny her anything her sweet little heart desires.“Sure, pup,” I say. “Come on up with me.”None of us can seem to get her out of the hous
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 79
A blade of regret cuts through my muscles and bones, leaving me raw and bloody. I should never have made him stay and see that I’m someone else’s mate. His wolf will never believe it.The coffee doesn’t even taste good, even though it’s filled with cream and all the flavors of syrup that I want. I only drink half of it before I ask Callan to take me home.The next week passes the same way. I’m happy that the brothers are sharing me, that there’s no secrets between us. We’re our own little family, closer than ever. We eat together every night. We joke around as usual. During the day, they head out and do whatever boys do. At night, I fuck Warrick and sometimes Callan, too. It feels as good as it always did, but something’s different.Sometimes they ask me if I want to go out somewhere, but I politely decline. I need to stay close in case Axel stops by, and to guard my house. My wolf feels strangely, jealously possessive of it, even though no one has tried to mess it up, and Axel hasn’t
TRUE MATE REJECTED Chapter 78
LunaI’m yanked from the fog of bliss at the sound of the front door slamming shut. I can feel Axel’s wolf, how wounded it is, and guilt cloaks me like a shroud. I didn’t mean for this to happen, even though some part of me thought Axel deserved to see what he threw away. That’s why I let him stay and watch.“Go make sure he doesn’t destroy shit,” Warrick says to Ethan.Ethan leaves the room. I know Axel wouldn’t destroy my house, though. At least I hope he wouldn’t. He did demolish our swamp home, according to Evan. But I don’t trust vampires, so I’m not sure if that’s true.The light of a half-moon streams through the slit in my blue and white lace curtains, lighting up the bed. Callan lays on one side of me, playing with my nipples and stroking my breast.Warrick gives a low growl and settles in on my other side. “Did my baby girl like that?” he asks.“So much,” I say, snuggling in beside him.“You want me to share you with Ethan, too?” he asks.“Yes, please,” I say, squirming at t
