All Chapters of Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KaelanAlthough things were going relatively well between I and Joye, I still felt the need to make a grand gesture, just to make things a bit better between us. "What's up with you and Joye?" Aiden asked as we both walked through the halls of the company. We had a meeting with one of the shareholders today and were currently heading towards the conference room."Does it seem like something is up with us?" I returned. I wasn't the type that spoke publicly about a personal relationship, but I knew Aiden had caught up to the recent happenings. Throughout the week I hadn't been myself, so noticing our issues would not be that difficult. "You've barely spoken for almost a week now, and you seemed down for a while. But you seem to be fine now, have you resolved the issue?""You seem very invested in my relationship with Joye, could it be you have an eye for my queen?" I teased. "Of course not, I'm only looking out for you, my lord," Aiden replied. At this point, it was useless trying to

JoyeI stared at Kaelan in shock, perplexed and devoid of the right words to speak. Surely he wasn't being serious about this, maybe I heard incorrectly. "You're leaving for another trip so soon?!" I asked for clarification, but his answers remained the same. "Unfortunately yes, but I'll be back soon I promise." He reassured, but I wasn't listening. It wasn't a matter of him returning soon or later, I just didn't want him to go at all. "Are you sure I can't come along? I swear I won't be a hindrance." I pleaded, but the likeliness that I was coming along were rather slim. This time it was just more than just a business trip, it seemed as though this trip concerned Kaelan, and Kaelan alone. There was no way I was coming along this time, the disappointed expression on his face said it all."I'm sorry, but I can't take you along with me this time. It might be a dangerous trip, and I don't want your life to be put at risk." His hand stroke my chin gently, and with his thumb he wiped aw

JoyeI was first to wake, and I sat up by the bedside, While Kaelan lay naked beside me. He was fast asleep, but the throbbing in my head wouldn't allow me to get a decent rest. Maybe it was the effects that came after your first experience, I didn't know, so I really couldn't be sure. Or maybe it was because I had fallen asleep and had skipped dinner last night. It was a mild one, not something to be worried about.Sauntering towards the refrigerator, I took out a bottle of water and gulped down its content. Taking a look at the clock by my side I discovered that it was still two hours to the break of dawn. I needed to get back to bed, and back to sleep.As I settled on the bed once more, my eyes fell on Kaelan's perfect naked body, and in came the memories of last night's experience. How we were lost in the depths of our desire, filled with passion, and overwhelmed with pleasure. Last night had been perfect, and I couldn't begin to imagine just how good it would be when we get marri

KaelanI was soaked in my own sweat, my joints felt stiff, and my skin recoiled in fear as I recalled the events of the nightmare that remains ever vivid in my consciousness. Just like every night these past two days, my dreams have been haunted by the same nightmares and it was honestly driving me crazy. Although I was reliving the same nightmare over and over again, I couldn't seem to get used to it. Every night it felt as though it was the first time experiencing the horror. As always I found myself in a burning kingdom where I could feel nothing, not even air itself. And after trying to find Joye in the mess I would always run into a familiar lady who's about to be burnt at the stake. For some reason she was the only entity who I could feel in the entirety of my nightmare. Staring down at the luminous face of my alarm clock, I made a mental note of the time before climbing down completely from the bed. "Half past four." I whispered as I sauntered towards the kitchen for an ear

JoyeTraffic was a bit heavy, but after an hour of driving we finally arrived at our destination, the royal mansion. My blood boiled with eagerness, but my ethics as Queen presided over the puerile requests of my mind and body. I wanted to leap into the air for joy, but instead I walked out of the car in the most elegant manner. I had expected Kaelan to be outside waiting for me on my return, but that hadn't been the case. I figured he must be easy, and that might explain why Aiden had come to pick me up instead of him. "Thank you." I said to Aiden as we both walked through the main door of the building. "I am only doing my job, my lady." Came a very formal reply. I didn't want to argue with Aiden at this point, it was obvious he would never address me informally no matter what. Instead, I stole the opportunity to ask him of how Kaelan was doing. Not seeing him immediately I alighted had me worried. Although it was a stupid reason to be worried, I still found myself troubled. "How
