The Alpha King's Rejected Mate Book 2: chapter 54
MayaI had dinner with Anna and went up to my room, exhausted. It was empty, and I was grateful. Since discovering what was wrong with me, I hadn’t had time to myself to think or process. Now that it was all hitting me, I just wanted to curl up in a fetal position and cry.My wolf and I would never have a connection or form a bond. I’d never have a chance at a mating bond. I’d never be able to truly rely on an alpha.Only one of those things bothered me. I was never going to find my mate, and I didn’t give a fuck about bonding with an alpha. As far as I was concerned, too many of them were assholes.Jax might be an exception. I couldn’t help but notice the one fair and kind alpha I found was in the middle of a rogue-infested and wild magic mountain. An alpha who bowed to no king. Oh, the irony.I cradled my hand on my belly. Had I conceived a child who would carry my curse? A babe who would never connect to their wolf?The door opened, and I stayed on the floor. Rhyson looked down at

RhysonHer breathing hitched, and I slipped a hand under her shirt and against her belly. A lot had happened today for both of us, and part of me knew that I should give her more time to adjust. Another part of me suspected she needed a distraction, and this was the best way I knew how to distract.It was too early to feel the baby. My brain screamed at what I’d learned only a few short minutes ago.What if he’s like me? What if he can’t control his wolf?I was going to have a son.“Rhyson,” Maya whispered. My hand stilled, and I waited to see if she would push me away.When she didn’t say anything, my hand inched up to her tits. “Yes?” I promised as I brushed a fingertip under one. “Was there something that you wanted?”“Fuck you. Just tonight.” She rolled onto me, straddling me, and I pulled her shirt off in one swift move before I brought my mouth up to claim her. Her kiss drove me wild. My hands tangled in her red hair, and she ground against me, thin cotton shorts the only barrie

I closed my eyes. If she died on this mountain, I’d rip it up from the earth to find who’d killed her. “He always seemed to be my exact opposite. My sister and I were rash and impulsive. He was steady and grounded. He’d been born to be an alpha, and he used to tell me that I was born to be a king. I always laughed it off because it seemed ridiculous. I had more raw power, but he was so much more contained. My parents were rarely there, and there were times it felt like we were orphans. Until we were orphans. When my parents and my sister were killed, he was my rock. He kept me together. I never once saw him cry, but I felt his pain. I know he wept in private, but in public, he was my backbone.“He liked music. I think in a different life he was probably some kind of rock star. He used to sing in bars, and there’d be a line of women ready to take him home. And when he had Rune, his son, he was the most amazing father. Not that there was ever any doubt that he would be. He practically r

MayaRhyson was gone the next morning when I woke, but I opened my door to find Duke standing there. “Are you my guard?” I asked as I raked my hair back into a tie and shut the door behind me. I was still trying to adjust to the fact that Rhyson had held me all night long. Not just for sex, but it was like he was seeking comfort.I didn’t hate it, even though I should. Now that he had proof that I wasn’t lying, he wanted to be kind and sweet? Fuck that. I needed him to believe me earlier. I needed him, more than anyone else, to believe me over my father.“Not a guard. One of the witches found me this morning on my run and asked to see you. I’m just passing the message along.”I raised an eyebrow. “So you’re not going to escort me?”For a moment, he looked stumped, and then he grinned. “I’ve never seen magic. I thought it might be fun to watch.”Rolling my eyes, I snorted. So he was a guard, but Rhyson had apparently told him to not act like a guard. Unfortunately for Duke, he was like

“Of course not.” He turned the vehicle on and grinned when it rumbled. “But I also don’t have to sit and wait for you. You can just call me when you’re done.”He took off, and I realized I’d been duped. Rhyson hadn’t asked Duke to guard me at all. Duke had volunteered to drive me just so he could get behind the wheel of the four-wheeler. Despite my annoyance, I couldn’t help but chuckle. It was nice to see the wolves let down their guards a little and have some fun.After dropping me off at Irene’s, he roared away. He didn’t even wait to see if the witches were home or if it was a drop. Whatever had happened yesterday had really made everyone feel at ease.The door opened, and Irene ushered me in. “Oh, good, you’re here. Janelle is driving me up the wall.”I entered the cottage. “You’re going to remember that I’m here, right?”“Yes, yes. My transformation tends to only happen in the evening, although I’ve had a few issues during the day. Not to worry. Janelle is bunking with me until

Maya“What the fuck!” Furious, I tried to jerk my hand away, but there was no one holding onto me. I was completely alone.“Easy,” Irene’s voice said in my head. “I’m right here, and you’re fine. You’re still sitting in my living room with the two of us. Well, three, if you count Jenson, but you’re fine. Janelle is still trying to find her way…ah, there she is.”“Sorry, Irene, you went a little fast for me.” Janelle almost sounded breathless, like she’d been running. I whirled around, but I still couldn’t see anyone. I couldn’t see anything.“Where am I?”“We’re sort of floating in your thoughts. Once you target a memory, we’ll all be pulled there. I’m not sure if you’ll see us or not. This is a little bit different for everyone since everyone’s brains look a little bit different. Let’s start with something easy so we can calibrate. Think back to when you first walked into the room,” Irene directed.Immediately, the memory popped into my head, but it started to clash with others: the

Rhyson“You look different,” Nash observed as we headed to Jax’s office. It was early in the morning, but the grounds were hardly quiet. The main roadway was busy with juveniles racing in packs around us and adults either scurrying after them or yelling at them to settle down. A few vehicles drove past us, ranging from jeeps to golf carts, and I couldn’t help but grin at the flurry of activity. It had been awhile since I spent much time totally immersed in a pack. I missed the hustle and bustle.“Slept well,” I responded. “And I feel more relaxed now that we’re here.”“Sure. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the screams of pleasure I heard while walking down the hallway,” he said cheerily, immediately hopping to his left when I turned my head to glare at him. “Look, I’m just saying that Maya is a complicated wolf, but we all like her. When it comes down to it, she’s one of us.”That was saying something for Nash. He wasn’t won over easily. “She’s carrying my child. It’s important tha

MayaI smelled the blood before I even saw him. It mixed with sweat and the musk I only associated with him, so I turned calmly and waited for him to catch up to me. “I sent Duke to escort you,” Rhyson said with a frown. “Why are you walking?”“Walking is good for me, and it’s not like I have anywhere to be. Why were you fighting?”“A skirmish outside the border. Nothing that Jax and his people couldn’t handle.”“But you wanted to see how they handled it,” I guessed, then turned and started walking again. He fell into step next to me. “Why do you care? These aren’t your wolves, and it doesn’t look or sound like they’d welcome your interference. It would take an army for you to conquer them.”“I’m not worried about power, and I’m not thinking of conquering this mountain. It’s just idle curiosity.”He was lying, but I brushed it aside. I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that Janelle couldn’t repair my bond. Silly, of course. I’d never had any hope until I came here, and n

Mica smiled up at him, squeezing his arm. “And if they refuse to swear allegiance, they can’t stay. For now, though, I’m accepting them under my protection. Unless you wish for me to send them away, Alpha?”Hayden gave her a dirty look but jerked his chin toward the hastily built lean-to on the south side of the house. There were three such structures now. The south was for the unmated women, the north was for unmated men, and the west was for family groups. The special ops team all shared rooms inside the house now, too, with the other rooms holding any injured wolves.“You can keep them, for now,” Hayden said. “But see that you put them to work. I don’t want them causing us any trouble.”“Of course.” Mica bowed her head toward him, fighting back a smile.Unlike Monroe and his people, Hayden cared about the pack. He might say that he only returned because Ryder and the others from Bluebell Valley wanted to save the pack, but he did genuinely care. It reminded Mica so much of the Hayd

MicaMonroe sent someone to the house every day for the next few days, demanding Elin back. He even went so far as to send Elin’s father. Hayden refused every time, but only allowed one of them onto the property. Or, as Mica learned later, only one of them could come onto the property.Spencer, it seemed, had no demon influence on him, but many of Monroe’s people were possessed.Mica tried not to think about that. She tried not to think about her own mother under a demon's influence. The few times when she and Ryder ended up working together, Echo was a topic neither of them brought up. Mica couldn’t bring herself to ask. If Ryder said there was no way to save her, then the last bit of hope she clung to would shrivel up and disappear.“Mica, we’ve received three more women,” Tess told her one morning. “Clarissa, Monique, and Rachel.”“Really?” Mica reluctantly closed the laptop she’d been working at. “Spencer’s daughters?”Hayden had been up at the crack of dawn, and Mica had gotten u

Hayden chuckled, enjoying her demanding side. He pushed in until he was fully seated, groaning as her greedy heat sucked him in. Mica whimpered and Hayden rested his forehead against hers. He waited there, letting her adjust. Her fingers dug into his shoulders. She was the one that started moving first, rocking her hips back and forth to move him inside of her. Her eyes were at half-mast, her mouth slightly open. He swelled, his skin feeling too tight to contain him.She kissed him, panting into his mouth. Hayden started to move, slowly at first but with increasing momentum. Mica matched his rhythm, her hips thrusting upward. Soon, she was crying out every time they came together. Hayden gritted his teeth, fighting back on the pressure building inside of him. Hewould see her finish first. He was getting dangerously close, so he reached between them and stroked her clit again.“Hayden,” she cried out. A flush rose up her neck and face. Her back arched, and her mouth fell open.“That’s

Mica shivered. “But I’m fat.”“You are beautiful, Mica.” He ran his hand down her hip. “Your skin is soft and smooth. Your breasts are perfect. I want to get to know the rest of you.”He slid his hand between her legs and cupped her. She felt even better without the clothes between them. The heat of her sex radiated into his hand, already growing damp. He massaged her slightly, watching her reaction. The tension melted from her shoulders. Her head fell slightly back and she let out a soft moan.“You’re beautiful,” he repeated. “And I want you.”Mica turned back to him, letting her legs open for him. Her sea-green eyes didn’t leave his face.“I think that’s the first time someone didn’t say ‘You’re not fat, you’re beautiful’ even though I am… without a doubt—” She cut off, biting her lip.“Do you want to continue?” he asked.Mica nodded. “Yes.”Hayden waited a moment before adjusting his hold on her. He slid two fingers deeper, exploring her. They brushed over her entrance, already wet

HaydenFuck, yes.Hayden’s wolf howled in delight at the promise this kiss held. He tangled his hands in Mica’s red hair, tugging her closer. Her scent curled into his nostrils. She was sweet and musky, a mix of vanilla and arousal. He needed her closer, but he also needed to touch her. Normally, he’d know exactly what to do, but at this moment, he couldn’t decide whether to keep his hands in her silky hair or move them over her body.Her delicious curves were too great a temptation. Hayden explored her, his hands roving over the flare of her hips, the swell of her breasts. There was far too much clothing between them.He hitched her knee over his hip. Mica gasped lightly. Her eyes were wide, staring at him as she molded herself against him. Her hands tightened around him, as though she was afraid he’d suddenly pull away from her.“You,” he growled as he nipped her neck, “are perhaps the most delightful creature I have ever had the fortune to lay my hands on.”“Creep,” she breathed ba

“What… what do you want to do to me?” she asked, her voice barely over a whisper.Hayden grunted. “You need sleep. You can have the bed tonight.”He was beinghonorable.He picked her up without asking, even though he just assumed that she’d be okay with being his mate. He was waiting for permission all the same. That care touched her. She just didn’t know what to say. Part of her still doubted whether he actually wanted her or if it was just the mate bond doing things to his wolf.“How is your injury?” she asked. She didn’t want to leave him but could not push the issue. At least, not yet.A fire burned in her core. She wanted Hayden to touch her. But more than that, she wanted him to want her. For real, and not because of any of this wolfy nonsense. Everyone always talked about the mate bond and how it made everyone elsedisappear. She needed to know if he’d thought about her at all over the years he was gone.“My injury?” Hayden repeated.“When the beast-demon attacked us in the fore

“I need to talk to you,” Finn said as he padded out of his room.Hayden nodded. He gave Mica an apologetic look as they went to the other end of the hallway.Elin started to stand but yelped and sank back down. “Mica, can I…?”Reluctantly, Mica stepped into the doorway.“I… they said they came for me because of you,” Elin said, flinching as she spoke.Mica nodded once.“Thank you,” Elin murmured. “And… and I’m sorry.”“I wasn’t going to let anyone stay in Monroe’s clutches,” Mica answered stiffly. She ignored the apology. It wasn’t good enough, not by a long shot. “Heal quickly. We’re going to need everyone we can.”Finn and Hayden were finished speaking at this time and Mica hurried back to Hayden’s side. He gave her a questioning look, but she only shook her head. She let out a sigh of relief when they were finally alone in Hayden’s room.“Thank you,” she blurted before she could lose her nerve.Hayden dropped to the couch and kicked off his shoes. “For what?”“Coming back.

MicaThe truth was clear.He wouldn’t say he would save Echo because he didn’t believe he could. Mica wanted to break down, scream, and beat her fists against the floors. Regret flashed through her mind. Was it because she had laid down the salt perimeter? Could they have prevented this if she hadn’t tried to run away?“If I had just accepted you at the pack meeting—”Hayden touched his finger to her lips. “Nothing would have changed. We will try, Mica.”She let out a ragged sigh. Right now, that was all she needed. There was still so much to do, and no doubt Monroe would be furious that Hayden had saved Elin. At least he, being possessed, wouldn’t be able to get onto the ground.“It might be a good thing for us, that Echo is possessed,” Hayden told her.“How can you say that?”“Because we need to know exactly what’s going on here,” he said. “And now we have a demon that might give us answers.”Mica shuddered. “You’re not going to torture the information out of her, are you?”Hayden s

“Sure,” Maverick snickered.Elin bit her lip, but whether because she had something she wanted to say or because of the pain, Hayden didn’t know.“We’re going to need to fortify the house,” Hayden said. “Monroe won’t be happy that we stole his mate-to-be right from under his nose.”“Your mate has already started, I think,” Finn grimaced. “Something’s changed. It’s uncomfortable for me to be here. Feels like… salt.” His expression changed, a growl rising in his throat. “There’s more, though. There’s a demon here.”Ryder stiffened. “My mother?”Hayden stopped him from racing to the house. “Gather everyone up so Finn can take a closer look at them. I’ll find Mica and check on Echo.”Ryder opened his mouth, but Hayden gave him a stern look with narrowed eyes. His Beta dropped his shoulders and nodded. Hayden then headed for the house as Ryder called for all the wolves to gather. His wolf snarled in his chest; he sensed a change, too, that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on en
