All Chapters of REJECTED MATE : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

“How are they going?” I asked.Her smile faded. “There have been a few unexpected developments, but don’t mention anything to Fenrir, or he’ll take charge. He needs to focus on this mission.”I nodded and walked through a room overlooking the front lawn, where a metal stage took up the middle of the space that looked like it had once held a statue. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, illuminating the bed’s carved headboard of a winged wolf flying through an inferno of demons. It almost reminded me of my journey from the Punishment Pit to Hades’ palace.After the first shower since escaping the Fifth Faction of Hell, I felt refreshed enough to face two wolf gods and my furious mate. I dressed in the outfit Lydia had ordered for me and gazed into the mirror. The leather pants I chose made my legs look even longer than ever, and the tank top pinched a little at the waist, accentuating my too-large boobs.I pulled up the neckline and scowled. “Why didn’t I order something more modes

I gave him what I hoped was a confident smile. Ophois and I would just go training. It wasn’t like he would consume me like he did that wizard. At least not until the heist was complete.Griff pursed his lips, his brows creasing with concern.“After you.” Ophois swept an arm toward the doorway.Griff nodded and drew back.I stepped through the opening and into the darkened enclosure of tents and Viking-style buildings, my lungs filling with the scent of the forest. Ophois followed after me and closed the door with a flash of golden light.The lining of my stomach trembled with trepidation. How on earth did he think he would get me ready to traverse that void?I gazed up into his golden eyes and asked, “What would you like me to do?”“Fenrir tells me that the layers between the two wards were based on the space between dimensions. How did you cope with that particular void?”“By holding my breath,” I murmured. “But that dark patch felt nothing like sticking my hand through the door.”“

If Griff were a teakettle, his insides would have been roiling, and steam would have risen from his spout. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye and grimaced. What was he so pissed off about? The bikini had been scandalous, but it was still better than being naked. Or had the prospect of being chastised by a wolf god gotten his tail into a knot?Beki nodded, confirming my suspicions.“He wouldn’t have spoken so rudely to Fenrir,” I said.She tilted her head to the side and sighed.Crossing lines and challenging others was typical wolf behavior. There were only a few ways to deal with a much stronger opponent: submitting or ignoring their overwhelming influence while still treading around them on tender paws.He pulled me in the direction of the wards, but I yanked my arm out of his grip.“Don’t tell me you’re going back to him,” he snarled.“It’s been ages since I’ve seen Glinda.” I walked around the back of the bell tents to the distorted part of the wards that led to the kennel

Tiny bolts of lightning crackled in his blue-green eyes, making me wonder if the world he had swallowed was now suffering a thunderstorm. I had no idea why he was ordering me to do the interrogation and not Griff, who he trusted, but I wasn’t about to argue with a furious god.I gulped. “Of course.”When I turned back to Marianna and Don, they were both quaking and alert.“This is Marianna Shade, an assassin Hades pulled from the Punishment Pits.” I pointed to her face. “She’s in a new body, but it’s the same soul.”“Shut up,” she hissed. “He’s going to torture us all.”“Why did he send you back?” I asked.Marianna clamped her lips shut.“Answer the questions,” Fenrir snarled, sending out even more pulses of that power.It was like cold electricity running up and down my nerves and sending sparks across my bones. My teeth chattered, but I clamped my jaws shut.“Larissa disappeared,” Marianna blurted. “King Hades needed someone familiar with you, since you were getting so close to the

The next morning, light streamed in through my eyelids, and my nostrils filled with the sweet scent of the forest. For a moment, it felt like I was back in the tent within the Hellfire pack’s enclosure. My front leg twitched, reminding me that Beki and I had swapped places. The light became warmer, brighter, more golden.My brow furrowed.Golden?Since when did the enclosure ever get bright light and since when did it seep through the bell tents?I cracked open an eye to find myself in one of the alpha’s guest rooms. At the foot of the four-poster bed stood a doorway filled with golden light.My jaw clenched. This could only be Ophois.“The sleeping Nefertiti awakens.” His deep, rumbling voice swept over me like thunder.I barked to ask what he was doing in my room.“You were supposed to return for training after eating,” he said, sounding mild for a god I’d just ditched the night before.Beki made a whining noise in the back of her throat. On the inside, I shook my head. She was bein
