The Rejected Lone Wolf 40
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

BLOOM’S POV“That applies to you, Bloom. No matter how you dress up, you’re still disgusting.” There it was. This was that premonition that something would go wrong today.I could easily have ignored Cecily, but she wasn’t alone. Her company of two other girls snickered at her words like it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Now, I couldn’t just let it go. Sighing, I stared her up from her feet to the top of her head. “What’s that for?” Cecily asked with a displeased look. She obviously hadn’t gotten the memo yesterday that I wasn’t the same cowardly Bloom. “Cecily, poor, poor Cecily,” I said loud enough for only her to hear, and her face blank. “What’s with that tone? Do you think because—”“No, Cecily.” I put up a hand to silence her, and she spluttered in shock. First, I would take care of her friends, then I would face Cecily. “You’re her new friends, aren’t you?” Their silence was enough. “You’re probably from this Pack, right, and not the other one where Cecily came f

Bloom's pov After dinner, we went straight home and I blushed hard at how Tina winked at me. Maybe it was the smile etched on my face because she could tell I was happy and that seemed enough for her. I would give her the details of what happened later, but now I just had to get into bed.I headed for my room first, washed up, and changed into one of the ridiculous nightgowns Steph had gotten for me. It was so big that they could make two of my former nightgowns from it. It looked like a granny's gown. Although it was light blue in color and smelled like vanilla. Perhaps, this was a reminder of how big my belly was. I was trying to stifle a yawn as I walked into Grey's room, the lights had been turned down and I had to squint to find my way to the bed. "Why is it so dark in here?" I called out, but I didn't get any response.I got under the duvet and closed my eyes, eager to just fall asleep when I felt him blow into my ear. "Grey, stop it..." He chuckled and I turned to face hi

GREYI leaned over to kiss Bloom. She returned it and I pulled back to see the smile on her face. Her curls were wet and stuck to her forehead but it just made her look more pretty. Did I plan on making love to Bloom? No, it just kind of happened and I was glad it did. Sure she would push me away, I almost crossed my fingers and prayed to whoever was listening, but again she blew my mind, just like she had done before now. A few minutes later, after emptying my ball of months of celibacy, I sighed when I looked at her to see her falling asleep so cutely. She must have been tired from the date and our intimacy must have worn her out even more. I felt bad about that.“You are such an animal.” My wolf had come out again. I rolled my eyes, thinking, tell me something I don’t know. “You weren’t satisfied with one time, so you pushed her for the second time. You wore her out.” I sighed. “I’ll apologize when she wakes up,” I whispered. If I could hit myself I really would. Letting out a si

BLOOMWhen I opened my eyes in the morning, compared to other days, I had the feeling something was wrong. I immediately realized why: Grey wasn’t in bed. A swift run of my fingers along the part he slept in, and I found it cool which meant he had been gone for a while. Stifling a yawn, I sat up in bed. Last night, after our intimacy, I was so tired that I fell asleep right away. As I chewed on the insides of my mouth, I couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling that something happened during the night. I pushed it out of my mind temporarily and made my way to the bathroom where as I passed by the mirror, my messy reflection stared back at me. I needed a scrub. In the bathtub, I scrubbed my hair before the rest of my body, then got out of the tub, and wrapped a small blue towel around my head. A few minutes after coming out of the bathroom, I left Grey’s room and headed downstairs in an orange sleeveless gown. I needed to find Grey.Tina was seated at the dining table and when she s

BLOOM“Why are you here?” It was a harmless question, but the tone of annoyance in Grey’s voice made me freeze. “I came to see if you were feeling better. You seemed mad in the morning.” I inched a few steps closer to him. His face had been peaceful when I entered the garden, but when he noticed me, his foul mood came back. Maybe I could make him feel better, I mean who else if not his mate? There was an ache in my heart, but I ignored it and focused on Grey instead. “I’m fine.” Grey waved his hand dismissively and turned away from me. “It’s fine, nothing you need to bother yourself with.” Nodding, I hesitantly sat beside him and raised a hand to his face, but he flinched. What was that? Hurt, I retreated my hand to my side. Why did he react like a cat that had gone through trauma? When I touched his lap, he tensed beneath my touch. That should have been enough to push me away, but I didn’t want to give up. “What’s wrong Grey?” I wished he would look into my eyes. Silence follo

BLOOMYou’re delusional. Pushing off the covers, I sat up. Had it been a dream? No, that had really happened. I’m not sure how I slept off in between the noise Grey was making and the tears, but when I woke up, it was almost dark. Weird. I woke up later than usual today and then slept twice during the day. It was weird. A quick glance at my phone showed the time as a little after six p.m.Usually, by this time, I would hang out with Grey in the study room, and then we’d have dinner together. After that, we’d go for a walk in the garden, Tina’s tip for easy digestion. Then we’d call it a night and cuddle each other to sleep. But that wasn’t going to happen anymore.Apart from the bread and soup I had by noon, I hadn’t eaten anything else. Right on cue, my stomach grumbled. I put my hand to my belly as my eyes watered. My child. Grey threatened to take her away, but was I going to allow that? What could I possibly do? My stomach whined again, and I stood and went to the door. Then stop

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
The Rejected Lone Wolf 68
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
