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

PAIN... That was what first attacked Kai's senses when he opened his eyes. He groaned... The area he was in was so dark that a knife could slice through it. The air felt moist... He tried to move. The pain came again, this time from his wrist and ankles. That was when he looked at himself. He was chained with silver cuffs in a standing position. His wrists were attached to the ceiling and his feet to the ground. Even the slightest movement pushed the silver cuffs to his skin, causing his flesh to sizzle. A part of his body was covered in blood, battered. Why wasn't he healing? Like a movie recap, the scenes of how he got caught came back. He winced in pain.WOLFSBANE... He could remember someone screaming for the substance. And he could also remember feeling rods on his skin and burning sensations flowing through his body. The realization hit: they poured wolfsbane on the rods and probably injected a very little quantity into him. In all his life, he had never felt such pain, su

Dallan did not see Hazel in his chambers or anywhere around the house. In alarm, he asked the guard outside the house where she'd gone. After the guard said that she went behind the house, Dallan sprinted in that direction. He didn't find her in the backyard or garden. Just as he passed through the curtain of leaves leading to the river, he heard a faint splash of water... Stealthily, he walked on the mushy side of the shore, frowning when he didn't see anyone. As he got closer, he saw a figure. It was more like a faint glint of light moving beneath the surface of the river. When the saw the shape of a fishtail, he knew it was Hazel. Dallan didn't say a word or made a sound. He quietly went to sit at the shore, smiling as she gently flapped around the river. At last, she came out of the water, her back turned to Dallan. She wore nothing on her chest and Dallan began to wish she could turn around and gift him a fine view of her breasts. It was almost like Hazel heard his thought

"Dallan!!!" Hazel had no idea her voice went that far. Dallan heard. And every other person around him. Hazel felt heat, pure and raw, shooting out from her body, diving for the arm she pointed out. She stumbled back, lost footing, and almost crashed to the ground, her arms pressed to both sides of her head. She screamed and rolled on the ground in agony. It lasted for some seconds. She staggered up, still holding her head, and trying to find her footing. Her eyes turned pitch black, the color of the night.At once, her feet levitated off the ground. The fight momentarily stopped. People now stared at the floating figure in confusion. Hazel looked lost, soulless. She reached out an arm and touched the wolf warrior nearest to her. His eyes turned pitch black too. Like a bot, he whirled on his feet, ran to one of the vampires, and touched him. It became a game of touch until more than fifteen vampires had dark eyes and were standing still like statues. Hazel's legs were still su

Kai sighed and closed his eyes. Even before now, he had always known that things will be out in the open. He did not expect it to be this soon... "Well, that answers my question," Dallan said, folding his hands across his chest. "From the neutral look on your face and your inability to speak, I know you probably lied about Hazel having powers." "Dal, I did not lie, okay?" Kai tried to sit up. He hissed in pain. Dallan was by his side in a second. "I told you to stay put. Stop moving." Concern flashed across Dallan's eyes. "How are you feeling now? Should I tell Abe to get you more pain-killing potions?" "I think I am fine," Kai said. He gave up his attempt to sit up. "Dallan, I want you to understand something. Whatever I do—we do (Abe and I)—it is for your good, to keep you safe in all aspects. I never meant to hide it from you. In fact, I wasn't aware she had powers in the beginning. I was just as confused as you were." They made eye contact."It was later on I found out about her

"There is someone or some people in this pack that are giving outsiders info about us," Dallan began, his eyes narrowing on Kai. "And my guts tells me that it is not the normal people of the pack. I feel that it's someone closer than we think." Kai had almost forgotten about the issue of the mole in their midst. "Whoever they are, we will get them. What is your plan?" "You know, Hazel's powers had been released..." Even though Kai didn't see the connection, he shrugged, "Okay, so?" "She has this kind of telepathic power to take over someone's mind and force them into doing her will just from a touch." "Dal, get to the point," Kai grunted. He sat straight. "I was thinking if Hazel could get into everyone's mind and check them." Kai's jaw almost touched the ground. He looked Dallan dead in the eye. "Wait... What?!" "Yeah, I know it sounds crazy but it seems like a good plan." "No! It doesn't sound crazy. It's actually crazy! More like the craziest suggestions I've heard si
