The Rejected Lone Wolf 34
BLOOM’S POVI avoided my mate for the rest of the day. Why? Simple. It was because even though I promised Tina—Mum—that I was going to try to work things out with Grey, I wasn’t prepared to see him, and he also didn’t come to find me. Instead, Ray did. Tina told me to take a walk in the garden at the back of the house. I hadn’t even known it was there, but she said it would be good for me and the baby, as well as some other things that I forgot about as soon as I heard them. The only thing I registered was that it would be a good way to digest the food I had three servings of. When I got to the garden, it was a nice change of scenery, so I walked around like Tina suggested, sniffing the flowers, and picking some. I made a mental note to ask Tina for a vase. As I got tired of walking, I sat down on the bench in the middle of the garden, fiddling with flowers I picked as I thought of what my future would be like with Grey. He was violent and impulsive, but he said he wouldn’t hit me,

BLOOM’S POVI faced him and growled, feeling my wolf coming to the surface. “And you, if you accuse me of anything dirty or immoral again, I will slap you so hard, my wrist will break. Not only that, but, you’ll have to wear a cast on your neck from how hard it will turn. Do you understand?”Maybe it was my words, or the fact that I wasn’t my usual meek self, but seeing the shock on his face was so satisfying. “You accuse me every day of immoral things, calling Ray my lover, telling me to go and spread my legs for him, telling me to never show myself in front of you and all that nonsense. I find it disgusting that you’d think of me like that without even getting to know the type of woman I am.”He opened his mouth to speak, but I raised my hand and shut him up.“You don’t get to say a word until I’m done talking. You came here to run your mouth, so I’m sure you know everything about me. I know your pride and ego will not let you rest until you’ve investigated me and found out even th

BLOOM’S POVIt had been a month since that encounter with Grey. The day when I screamed out my lungs at him, then helped him with his nightmare. He woke me up the next day after I fell asleep, and as usual, kicked me out of his room. I wasn’t offended because I was starting to figure out that he was wired like that, and all I had to do was rewire him. The first step to doing that was helping him sleep better at night. The nights I didn’t hear screams were the nights that he worked all night long.It had become a ritual to sneak into his room at night, comfort him during the nightmares, and then leave before the sun was up. It affected my sleep cycle but anything for the father of my child, but really, I was doing it because I promised Tina I would. After getting up in the morning, I’d go for my training, wear myself out, then repeat it again the next day. I was getting stronger so I didn’t mind it. At first, things were awkward between Ray and I, but I didn’t want to change instruc
The Rejected Lone Wolf 37
GREY’S POVSomething was wrong. Something was wrong, but I couldn’t put a finger on what. I wasn’t sure what it was until a guard made a mistake, and instead of chewing him out like I usually would do, I let him go. Then I realized it was because I slept better. Normally I didn’t sleep well, and that made me antsy and irritated throughout the whole day. I’d scream at people and make them wish the ground would open up and swallow them, but now I just let it go and continued with my day. I went to meet Tina. “Have you been adding a new medication to my meals to help me sleep better?” There was a smile on her face, but she said she hadn’t. So what was it? I pushed it to the back of my mind, but secretly, I was happy that I could sleep better now, and although the nightmares came, they didn’t stay for long. After a minute or two, they were gone, unlike before when they kept me away until the sun came up. Then we got attacked and my mate proved to me that she could’ve killed me if sh
The Rejected Lone Wolf 38
BLOOM’S POVSurprisingly, I was happy. I hadn’t expected Grey to come see me at the gym. I thought it was a lie to get me into his bed. Not sexually, but to help him to sleep better. “Is that Grey? No, right?” Ray asked with a tone of disbelief. “Of course, it’s him, silly,” I replied and heard Grey laugh at that which was interesting. I didn’t think I had heard him laugh that loud before. “I think we have to reduce your training,” Ray said suddenly, and I looked at him, surprised. “Why? I don’t think I’ve learned all I need to.” He nodded in agreement with my statement, and explained, “You’re right. You still have a long way to go, but I didn’t say we would stop, just reduce it. You’re getting bigger and it’ll be dangerous to continue at the pace we’ve been going.” I let out a breath. Ray was right. “Thank you for all you’ve done, Ray,” I said sincerely, and stretched my arms wide, “Hug?” He laughed but came closer to hug me.When I got back to my room, I entered the bathroom
The Rejected Lone Wolf 39
GREY’S POVI stood at my office window and watched as Kate alighted the car with Grey. Normally, I would have done nothing and let my brother fight his battles himself as I had always done, but Bloom wanted to do something, and I was now realizing that there was no way I could say no to her. Not when she looked like it was her duty to save others, which she did with me. She saved me and I knew now that she was too good for me. I walked to my desk and opened the drawer to reveal a pretty necklace box. The more I watched her, the more I wanted to shower her with gifts and adorn her with the finest things. She deserved it. For bringing me out of the pit, she really did, so if solving the problem between my brother and his mate made her happy, I would do it. I liked it when she looked at me with eyes that called her hero. I came out of my office with the intention of finding either my brother or his mate and having a talk with them, when I saw my brother going downstairs. “Richmond,” I

BLOOM’S POVI wasn’t familiar with the voice but I felt my mate’s body language. He was wound tight like he was about to spring up and pounce on a prey. He moved in front of me and blocked my view of the visitor. Looking out from behind Grey, I saw two people, not one like I expected to see, and they turned out to be familiar faces. One was my former mate, the one who had contributed to my trauma in not a not so little way. And the other was the bane of my existence. Cecily.“What the fuck are you doing here?” My mate growled, and I clenched my fist so hard my nail pierced into my skin. “Bloom, so nice to see you,” Cecily greeted in a fake sweet voice and an even faker smile. I blanked my face, and looked at Cecily long enough to make her uncomfortable before speaking, “I can’t say the same about you,” watching with satisfaction as the smile fell off her face. If I wasn’t trying to maintain a cool appearance, I would have laughed. She must have thought I was still the same girl sh

BLOOM’S POV“Bloom.” His mouth fell open, and my face flushed. Did he like it or not? “I’m not sure if we can go out anymore.” He must not have liked it, I thought as my face fell. Then he continued, “You’re too beautiful. I don’t want anyone to see you. I want you all to myself.” Grey moved until he was standing in front of me with just a few inches of space between us, and started to plant kisses on my neck and throat.I giggled, and Grey looked up, his gaze filled with want. “You smell delicious.”“Richmond gave me a bottle of perfume to say thank you,” I told him and he sniffed my neck again. “You like?” Grey gave a vigorous nod of his head. “I do. I could eat you up right now.” I pushed him away with a laugh just as he leaned in to kiss my lips. If he continued like this, we wouldn’t be able to leave. “Stop, Grey, let’s go.” “Let’s go then, my lady,” he said with a faux British accent and crooked his arm so I could fix my arm in. “We’re walking?” I looked at my mate in surpris

The Rejected Lone Wolf Epilogue
GREYSomeone was crying. Whoever it was, I knew it was because of me, so I tried to open my eyes to see what the matter was, but when I felt a wave of pain go through me, I held my breath and waited for the pain to subside for what seemed like an eternity. Then I tried again. This time, I was successful. Bloom. She sat in a chair beside me, her head in my hands as she sobbed. “Bloom?” My voice didn’t sound like me. It sounded gravely and thin. Her head lifted as she gasped. I saw the moment her expression changed from worry to relief. “Grey? You’re awake?” I gave her a small nod and didn’t say anything. I held her hand, and I knew she understood me. “What about the Pack? And everyone?”“They’re all safe. You defeated our worst enemies,” Bloom said and I nodded just as the memories of the battle flooded back to me. The pain of Orion’s clawing through me came back. I didn’t even realize how Orion’s presence had been weighing heavily on me, but now that he was gone, I was finally able

GREYCapturing the children and women while I was still here? What sort of a sick plan was that? It seemed like I’d been too easy on Orion for him to think he could get away with that. Well, he had another thing coming. “Are the weapons ready?” “Yes, Alpha!” My army of wolves chorused. I got up from where I was and led them toward Orion Pack. They planned to evade ours anyway, why shouldn’t we do the same to them? When we arrived, not only were Orion’s wolves waiting, but also the rogues. “You could have chosen to do this in a better way, you know that Alpha Orion? You just had to get on my nerves.” I looked at the wolves and they didn’t waste any time in lighting the Pack up. We were going to be exactly like the rogues this evening and no-fucking-body was going to stop us. “Do you think I’m going to give in?” Alpha Orion roared from his balcony, his eyes glowing red with rage. “We will fight back!” His wolves were taken aback by his sudden change in attitude, even the Pack members

BLOOMGrey and I followed after Ray to find out what he was talking about, and were met with a shocking scene. He led us into a room, and as he closed the door behind us. Other than a lamp on the table, it was completely dark. But that wasn’t the surprising part. That would be Angie tied to a chair. Turning sideways slightly to look at Grey, I thought, What plan did they have up their sleeves this time?“I just found out the truth,” Ray said. “The child in her womb isn’t yours, Alpha Grey, she has only been trying to get you to marry her.” It was a blatant lie but Ray had no idea we knew the truth. Where was he headed with this? I looked at him briefly before fixing my gaze back on Angie. What did they have up their sleeves now?“She lied about you getting her pregnant so her child can take ownership of your seat before anyone else’s,” Ray added, and while I already knew this, it didn’t stop me feeling angry. Leaning forward, I grabbed her jaw, looking her in the eyes. It was then I

GREY“You know who this letter is from, Grey. I gave you an option of leaving your Pack peacefully, I guess you have turned down my kindness. Now I have no choice but to show you what I can do. Need I remind you that before now I’ve known and watched you for years? It goes without saying that I know your moves, every single one of them. I’ll invade your Pack relentlessly. Take this letter as a warning of what is to come. You’ve been a thorn in my side right from the time I used to be under your command. I made plans I was sure would completely destroy you and your Pack. How you survived remains a miracle… No, I’m certain your pretty little mate helped you with that. I should have stabbed you harder that day in the forest. Anyways, as you might already know, Leo, Stephan, and I plotted your downfall with the help of the Alpha of Orion. He supported us, giving us the power we needed to destroy your Pack. Now, I won’t back down until you’re six feet below the earth, Grey, and this time

BLOOMAs I shared what I heard with Grey, he stared straight at the wall with an expression of fury. Who could blame him for that reaction when he just found out the woman who claimed to be carrying his child, a child he had been fully prepared to accept, was lying to him? And not just that, but the actual father happened to be his Beta, Ray. “I knew there was something off about him.”I sat next to him, placing my hand on top of his. “Please before handling this case, you need to first be calm.”He turned to me with an angry look, but I knew it wasn’t directed at me. “He’s trying to have you by all means. You don’t expect me to sit and watch.”“We have more pressing matters at hand, Grey. They might have plotted against you, but they’re not dumb to believe they don’t need you. Think about it. The issue of the rogues is still on the ground so they can’t act without thinking. They’ll have to wait for the right time,” I explained. “Let’s also be strategic. I understand how you feel. I a

BLOOMUpon getting back to the Pack with Grey, I had reached the top of the stairs when I heard a feminine exclamation and turned around to see Angie clinging to Grey like a damsel in distress. Grey’s face was pulled back as he looked at her with disdain. Physical touches in general made him uncomfortable, so to be touched by someone he didn’t like must feel highly unpleasant.“I’ve not been feeling good these days, and still, you don’t pay me any attention. Do you still not believe the child I’m carrying is yours?”My hands squeezed into fists by my side and I gritted my teeth as I watched Angie caress Grey’s arms while batting her eyelashes. I was about to walk down the stairs and pull her away from him when someone caught my arm. Looking back, I saw Rich shaking his head at me. He seemed to know that if I got close enough to her, I might kill her. I couldn’t stand watching her do that to him. Just as I wanted to pull out of Rich’s hold, a growl echoed in the air and everything wen
The Rejected Lone Wolf 70
BLOOMThe next morning, Grey and I set out for Montrose Pack after receiving news of a rogue attack. Upon our arrival, I was shocked at the sight we met. The rogues' attack had completely brought down the place. They left nothing standing. They had left so many survivors. Tears filled my eyes as I looked around. While this place had never been a home to me, it was still where I grew up and spent most of my life in, so it left me feeling broken.As I got to the place where the Alpha’s mansion once stood, my vision became blurry with tears. Most of the building had been reduced to debris. Remembering that my father used to keep a diary, I shifted into my wolf and sniffed the ground, searching for the book in the ruins. I moved through the rubble in my wolf form, my heightened senses picking up on scents, most of them being my father’s. As my paws trod upon the scorched ground, I spotted a fragment of charred wood that was etched with familiar markings and knew it was a scorched corner

BLOOMMy mind was on Angie. There was no telling what she was up to, and as much as I wanted to keep an eye on her every moment, I didn’t have any time for that. My gaze returned back to my sleeping child. My precious daughter, my Angel who I wanted to protect. I reached out to touch her toes when the door opened and Grey walked in. The weariness on his face and his tousled hair all pointed to the fact that he’d been up all night, but somehow even with all that, he still managed to look so attractive. After kissing me on the lips, he put out a finger to touch our daughter’s face, before sitting next to me on the bed and resting his head on my lap. “Did you find anything out last night?” I asked as I ran my fingers slowly through his hair. “Hmm.” Grey nodded. “Ray got more information about the rogue camp, and it was just as I thought. It’s clear now that Lewis is the leader of the rogues. We can’t just sit back and watch without doing anything. We need to strategize a way to capture

Bloom's PovGrey looked like he was a second away from ripping her head off. I was very sure that was the exact look I had on my face as well. I had people behind me anyways, that stopped me from making any further movements towards her. Like what the fuck?! I glared at her and could just imagine throwing her to the wall without caring whether or not she had a child. But I had to control my urges before I did something I'd regret. My wolf growled in my head. I pushed her back so she wouldn't take control of my body. This fool was trying to get my man to look at her. And here I was doing nothing about it. I growled while the guards were ready to hold me when the need be. They knew I'd kill her without effort. She stayed there staring innocently like a damsel in distress. What the fuck was she even thinking. That she can take my place? As what exactly? The Luna?"Get the fuck out of this place Angie," Grey growled. Even his wolf threatened to show up if Grey did nothing about this. But
