All Chapters of The Alpha's rejection: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

James “C’mon babe, get on my back. You don’t expect me to walk like this right?” I pleaded with Zoe, pointing at my naked state. She had refused to ride my wolf after I had refused her advances and dragged her to the stream. “I don’t care! You can walk and your little friend can jump around freely just don’t disturb my ears with the slapping sounds you will be making,” she hissed. I knew she was upset that I didn’t make love to her. But I wouldn’t do that to her in a forest, surrounded by dead bodies. I wanted our first time to be sweet and romantic not her lying on the hard forest ground as bits of bark, pine needles and twigs scratch her back. She was walking ahead in a t-shirt I had found on the ground. I didn’t want her to wear a rogue’s shirt but she couldn’t be naked either. We were very far from the pack and since she couldn’t shift, I wanted her to ride my wolf so that we could move faster. I grabbed her arm and pulled her close to me,

Zoe ‘Don’t worry cupcake, nothing would happen to me,' James said through our mind-link and I sighed. I hated that my presence in his life could lead to his demise. ‘We shall figure it out,' he added and I gave him a small smile. “Since we are all family, I think I can tell you why Zoe is being sought after,” my father said and I looked up at him in concentration. I wanted to know the reason too. Was it just because my wolf was the strongest in the world? Flashes of memories flashed through my mind and I shook my head, hoping James didn’t see any of them in my mind. They should remain buried, he was dead anyway. ‘Who’s dead?’ I heard James low voice in my head and I looked up sharply he looked pissed. But I couldn’t tell him about that incident. ‘It’s nothing,' I replied in a tone that said to drop the topic and he knew better than to force it out of me. “I am sure we know of the legend of Anassa,”my father said and everyone no

James I pretended to sleep as Zoe awoke and changed into her training attire, trying to be quiet so as not to wake me up. She left for her morning run and I decided to follow her so that we could run together. I wanted to surprise her with an abrupt appearance. Waiting for her to leave the mansion, I got up and put on grey shorts and a white vest. I left the mansion but bumped into my father on my way out. “Morning dad,” I greeted him. He had a huge grin on his face as he responded. “Mmmmm the morning is good indeed. How’s my newly mated son doing? What does Zoe’s mark look like?” He asked smiling, clearly in a good mood. “Dad c’mon,” I groaned. He liked asking for details as if he was my best friend. Anyway he was.. it’s always been him and I. “It’s a black wolf standing like a man, howling towards the moon,” I said, scratching my neck. The mark confused me too, Tyler didn’t look like that at all. I saw it last night a

James “Zoe,” I said with a trembling voice while holding her shaking body in my arms. She suddenly had a panic attack after looking at something on her phone. It had been 5 minutes and she’s still shaking. Each jerk of her body sending pangs to my chest. Why was she like this? I laid her on the bed and hugged her tightly, trailing soft kisses on her body and whispering sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down. It seemed to work as she had finally stopped shaking but was still unconscious with beads of sweat on her forehead. I covered her up with a duvet and picked up the phone she had dropped on the rug. She had showed me the pattern to unlock her phone with so I drew the pattern, unlocking it and immediately saw red when I read the message she had received. Rage and anger flashed through me and I clenched my fists tightly, drawing blood as my elongated nails dug into my skin. Who the hell is D and why would he thre

James “Yeah, so… that’s my story,” Zoe said with a loud sigh and I tightened my arms around her. The pain and anger I was feeling could be not be expressed by words alone. That Duncan guy was lucky he was dead otherwise, I would have hunted him down and killed him myself. I thought I was in pain before but what my cupcake went through was so heartbreaking. No wonder she couldn’t trust anyone anymore and just wanted her mate. But I fucked up as well in the beginning. There’s no excuse, I fucking hurt her. I’m just glad I came back to my senses before it was too late. “You don’t have to feel bad about it Jay. It’s all in the past,” Zoe said, throwing her head back on my chest and I leaned in, pecking her plump pink lips. “It’s in the past but I can’t help but get angry. I’m sure people judged you for being cold, not knowing what you went through in the hands of someone you trusted,” I said, each word piercing my heart like a double-edged
