Anna“Murder? You’re fucking kidding me!” I stared at Amelia in shock. It had only been two hours since our cellphones had gone down. Finn had gone out looking for Amelia and Jax and returned one hour ago to report that they weren’t in any of the stores.Two hours of agony, of thinking that Amelia might be dead. Finn was ready to lose his mind, but my mating bond was bright and throbbing. I just couldn’t figure out how to use it to communicate to Jax. To figure out what the hell was happening with them.Turns out, he was in police custody. Human police custody.“Who the hell do they think he murdered?”“You. And Janelle,” Amelia said quietly. “They don’t have any evidence, but they’re going to hold him for the longest amount of time possible. That’s three days. He’s requested a lawyer, but conveniently, the only criminal lawyer in town is on vacation. They said it’ll take two days to get someone here. We’ll never get our pack lawyer down in time either.”“They have to have bodies to b

JaxCaged.My wolf wanted to howl in fury, but we both stood against the walls, as far away from the bars as we could get, and waited, silently, for whatever the next move might be.Emerson had me trapped. I doubted this was the end game.To his credit, the detective seemed frustrated with the whole case. Things didn’t make sense, and he’d been willing to let me go except that the chief stepped in and ordered him to hold me.Maybe I was reading too much into it. Maybe it was just because their town wasn’t used to murders, and they really did think I was guilty and didn’t want to let me go.That hope was dashed when the door opened and two officers stepped in, their batons in hand and cold smiles on their faces. I knew those officers. Jones and Whalen.I didn’t move as they stopped at the bars and beat their sticks against it. “You like to think you’re a tough boy, don’tcha?” Jones taunted. “How tough you feeling now?”Not saying a word, I watched as Whalen closed the door separating t

AnnaI stared at Officer Jones’s blank face as he held the door open to the station. The sharp metallic smell of blood overwhelmed my senses as I stepped closer. Kenzi grabbed my arms but was careful not to say anything. Janelle had been very clear that the officers would remember everything we said.This was the man who’d beat Jax. There wasn’t a mark on him. My mate really was trying to play by the rules.In a game where no one was playing by the rules, it would get him killed. “I find it alarming, Officer Jones,” I said loudly. “That my husband has been beaten but there’s no one in the cell with him. I’m sure you have an explanation for this.”“No, ma’am,” he said woodenly. The spell would only allow him to say yes or no.“I see. When my husband’s lawyer arrives, I’m sure he’ll be looking into the matter. In the meantime, if any more marks appear on him, we will sue this department for every little penny that you have. Do you understand?”“Yes, ma’am.”Kenzi practically pushed me o

At least that made things a little easier. It still wouldn’t be enough. Saul and Kenzi joined us a few minutes later. “The doctor suspected the victims were drugged from the lack of defensive wounds, so he ran a toxicology. They were not. Likely, they were spelled and then killed. There was blood collected that does not belong to the victim.”“Great. It won’t belong to Jax either.” So why the hell was the detective holding him?“Anything else in the file that’s useful?”“As a matter of fact, there is. The name of the witness. Michael Jones.”Kenzi inhaled sharply, and I looked at her. “You know who that is?”“I sure do. We’ve got one more place to break into.”I glanced at Janelle. “I don’t know that she has it in her.”“I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m pretty sure we can break into this place all on our own.”Glancing around the office, I felt a cold fury settle in the pit of my stomach. “So first he reports to the police that he saw the two missing women at his motel, and then he conv

AnnaI slept fitfully that night. I wouldn’t have slept at all except that Saul slipped something in my drink. I’d been furious with him, but he reminded me that I was still healing.And that Jax needed me at the top of my game.Still, I hated sleeping alone. Strange. I’d gotten so used to sleeping alone that it was strange sleeping with Jax. There was a time I’d felt so fucking trapped by his side. Then, I was alone again and trying to remind myself that it was for the best.Now I knew that I wasn’t giving Jax up without a fight. We had our problems, but he was mine now. So when I glanced out the window at just a few hours before dawn and saw the figures emerging in the parking lot, I knew who it was.“Kenzi,” I barked at the woman still sleeping in the bed. “Emerson is here.”Finn, who’d been on guard, was already opening the adjacent door. Saul, Amelia, and Janelle filed quietly behind him. “It hasn’t even been twelve hours,” Finn grunted.“Emerson has never been known to be a man

Jax“Bishop. You’ve got another chance to make this easy on you,” Jones said as he opened my cell door. His eyes burned with hatred as he stared at me. “If I were you, I’d make that confession today.”Another threat. Curiously, that was all Officer Jones had since Anna had left. Threats and heated looks. Whatever she’d said to him had made an impact.So the detective wanted to speak to me again. Maybe it was to finally give up this charade and let me go.Nothing was ever that easy.Jones didn’t remove the handcuffs but instead attached them to the table before trying to push me into the seat. I didn’t budge and instead stared down at him. “Sit down,” he barked and pulled out the baton.“Officer,” Detective Warnos said as he entered the room. “That won’t be necessary. You can leave us.”“I’m thinking I should stay.”“This is an interrogation and not an arrest. Please leave.” The detective’s voice was soft but final. Jones snarled at him but left. Once the door was closed, I sat down.“

AnnaI did not question why Kenzi had a miniskirt and a halter top, but I did roll my eyes when she handed it to me. It was the next night, and we were running out of time to free Jax and leave this side of the mountain.Tonight was the last night we had to confront the motel manager.Cindy had woken up to just cry and shiver. Finn and Saul were trying to comfort her and help her heal, which was fine. Amelia and Kenzi were both eager to help me with tonight’s errand.“When was the last time you brushed your hair?” Kenzi complained as she yanked her brush through it. “Sometimes I cannot believe he chose you over me.”“When you go from being a prisoner, to almost dying, to having your mate locked up in jail, you can tell me where haircare falls in your list of priorities,” I retorted as I winced. It felt like the damn woman was pulling my hair out of my head.After tying it back with a loose ponytail, I let her put a little bit of powder on my face and then she sent me on my way. I had

It turned blue.“Blue is not a good color, Michael. Anyway, this really isn’t all that necessary, considering you confessed way more on camera. Killing those women. Setting up my husband. Trying to kidnap me. You’re a little lonely, aren’t you Michael? Just love to chat.”I found the little bag that Kenzi had brought with her. I placed the open water bottle in a travel cup and placed the travel cup in a large Ziploc bag.“I…wolves…”Amelia nudged against him, and he screamed. I turned my head. “Wolves? Don’t be ridiculous. These are my dogs. I realize we didn’t pay a pet deposit. I’ll rectify that. I wouldn’t go anywhere, Michael. They don’t like rapists.” Holding up the button camera, I recorded myself opening the cabinet and turned on the film feed. “Tsk, tsk, Michael. How long have you been raping girls? How long has your brother been covering for you?”“Um…”“You don’t have to answer that. I’m pretty sure you’ll just claim it was all under duress. That’s alright. Today, I got the

A fresh chill washed over her, causing goosebumps to rise along her arms. Her scalp prickled, and her chest tightened. Now that she considered that possibility, it was swiftly followed by a stark truth staring her in the eye. If someone did come for her, there wasn’t much she could do.As a human in a pack of shifters, she had little recourse for self-defense. She’d have to have a gun in hand at all times, and she didn’t have access to that sort of weapon. Even then, a shifter could easily tear out her throat before she knew what was happening. She was defenseless. And worse, there was nothing she could do to protect her baby, now or in the future.Hayden pulled her close into the fiery heat of his body. “Mica, Mica,” he crooned. “It’s alright. Nothing is going to happen to you.”“You can’t know that.” As much as she wished he was strong enough to keep every threat far from her, Hayden was only one person. He couldn’t be at her side at all times, and he had to take care of his pack re
The Alpha King's Rejected Mate Book 3: chapter 50
MicaMica grabbed a washcloth and dumped too much body wash onto it. She focused on the lather of suds, trying to pretend as though she wasn’t shaking all over. This wasn’t right. Hayden should be going into the challenge with full strength. Not healing from injuries like this. It didn’t matter if he was saying that she wasn’t to blame.She was. He knew it. She knew it.“I’ve allowed the demons to delay the challenge too long already,” Hayden said.She glanced at his face. His eyes were closed, face lifted slightly toward the shower head. Was he deliberately not looking at her? Or was it just from how exhausted he was? His muscular body sagged somewhat, as though he was fighting not to lean against the side of the shower.Mica wiped the dampness from her face and started washing his body. She could be strong for him. He was facing death; even though it made her chest ache to think about it, she couldn’t let herself break down. Not yet, at least. He was strong. The strongest person she

“I… I trust that you want what’s best for the pack. I trust that you are a good man, Hayden. Right now, that’s enough for me to want more,” Mica said.They lingered, each searching the other’s eyes. Hayden saw the spark of a promise in Mica’s gaze. The tension that had been making his wolf on edge eased. His shoulders relaxed. It would take time, yes, but so long as Mica was willing to give him a chance, he would prove himself worthy.“How have things been while I was gone?” he asked.Mica shook her head. “We’re going to run out of supplies. Our food is low, and as for everything else… I don’t know what happened, but we’ve lost a quarter of our blankets. Not to mention medical supplies.”Hayden leaned into her touch as she resumed washing his body. “I stopped in to see Ryder. We got a message from Monroe, and I had to order Ryder to be strapped into place to keep him from leaving the medical room.”Mica winced as she glanced up at Hayden’s face. “He’s not happy with me. But it looks l

He stripped off his boxers and threw them into the hamper as well, then headed into the bathroom. The glass door was shut, and Mica stood, concealed by steam and fogged glass, under a stream of water.Hayden knocked on the door, making her jump. He tugged the shower open. “Mind if I join you?”Mica’s hair was hidden under one of those silly-looking shower caps. But her body… oh, her body! Now, this was a sight he would never get tired of seeing. Her heavy breasts were soft with their pink velvet peaks. Her round, soft belly and flared hips. The drab, baggy clothes she always wore hid so much of her. Not just her body but her vibrant personality as well.There was nobody better suited to be his mate. Nobody else in the pack would stand up to him like she did. Nobody would give him dirty looks or tell him that he was a jackass.Tearing his eyes from her sexy body, Hayden looked at her beautiful sea-green eyes. Exhaustion smudged dark circles beneath her eyes, but a small smile tugged at

HaydenHayden shook out his muscles, grimacing at the pull of his most recent injuries. Not only had Echo gotten him pretty good, but Kai had reported back that he and the team Hayden had sent into the forest had found a beast-demon nest. The last few hours had been destroying the eggs and hunting down the hatchlings.The team entered the mudroom at the back of the house and shifted to their human forms. Everyone had received some sort of injury, though fortunately, it wouldn’t take long for any of them to heal. They pulled on the boxer shorts that were kept in the mudroom, all except Finn.Blayke brushed back his hair and gave Finn an envious look. “Wish I could shift back and forth with my clothes on. Maybe it’s a type of magic that can be taught?”Finn gave him a dirty look. “You can’t teach being half—well. Half wolf.”“All of you, take care of your injuries and then get some rest,” Hayden interrupted. The last thing he wanted was for the pack to know that Finn was half-demon. The

Knowing she was pregnant would only make that target on her back even bigger.Tess frowned at her. “Are you okay?”Mica struggled to reign in the anxiety that was no doubt leaking into her expression. “Disappointed. A baby would be a welcome beacon of light in these dark times.”She hoped the strange lilt to her voice could be mistaken for sadness. She didn’t have the mental energy to explain everything to Tess, nor did she want to. Not only were these raging emotions making her feel hollowed out inside, but Tess shouldn’t be the first one to find out. Hayden should.Once Hayden knew and they had a plan for moving forward, she could tell Tess the truth. Hopefully, she’d understand.Right now, though, there was so much tension in the splintered pack that if it was known she was pregnant, it might push the pack to no longer wait for the challenge… which was meant to be tomorrow afternoon.“I’m going to rest,” Mica told Tess, managing a small smile. “And you should as well. We’ve been th

MicaMica didn’t know how she did it, but Tess managed to smuggle in a pregnancy test. Now, Mica sat in the bathroom, staring at the positive result. Her stomach was queasy, and now that she thought about it, she’d been feeling that quite a lot lately. Her body hurt, she always felt tired, and she had chalked it all up to stress.Pregnant.Even though she and Hayden had been having a lot of sex, and she had made the deliberate choice not to use condoms, she still could hardly believe it. Her period had always been all over the place. It wasn’t unusual for her to skip three or four months. She’d always been told it would make getting pregnant more difficult.Counting back, it had been, what, five months? Time passed so quickly that she hadn’t bothered to think about her last period. Before Hayden and the special ops team had returned to the Bluebell Valley pack, at least. So what did that mean? How far along was she?She peeled up her shirt and studied her stomach, looking at it from a

Hayden“I’m just saying that maybe this ritual is worth the risk,” Maverick said. His arms were folded over his chest, and there was a doubtful look on his face. “What will it hurt to try?”Hayden shook his head. “We can’t risk a demon getting free. We don’t know what will happen. For all we know, this ritual is something the demons put into the world to—”He cut off as Finn shuddered. His eyes widened, and his head snapped around, toward the house. “Something’s happening.”Mica.With a curse, Hayden wheeled around and raced for the house. The team fell in step behind him. The pack looked up from their tasks, startled, but Hayden didn’t give any orders. He threw open the front door and took the stairs two at a time. He kicked open the door leading to the room where Echo was kept.Mica, Tess, and Elin were all inside. Tess rang an old brass bell manically, the clanging echoing through the room. Elin held a lighter in hand, racing back and forth to light candles as Echo spun around in h

Mica squeezed her eyes shut tightly. Her stomach churned. It was exactly what she thought—they weren’t even going to try to save Echo, too certain in their own knowledge.“It has to happen soon, Hayden,” Ryder said, his voice low, urgent, and… sorrowful. “I can’t keep holding my tongue. You are my Alpha, and I’ve tried to respect your decisions, but the situation is becoming untenable. This is my mother and my sister we’re talking about. I will tell Mica, if that’s what you would prefer.”“No,” Hayden answered.Why? Why did he not want Ryder to tell her? Tears filled Mica’s eyes and she crept away, not wanting to hear any more. Was Hayden afraid she’d let Echo go? Did he think it was up to him as her mate to tell her that he was going to kill her mother?He doesn’t consider it killing Mom, though. He considers it a mercy, freeing her from the demon.It didn’t make Mica feel any better. She carefully opened the kitchen door, slipped through, and softly closed it. Her heart pounded in h
