All Chapters of Rejected and Possessed by the Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Everyone gets their wolf when they turn eighteen. But on my eighteenth birthday, I lost mine. *** Steam rose from the pot of stew I was stirring. I watched the wisps tangle and dance as they ascended toward the night sky. I shivered a little when the steam tickled my bare arms, causing the hairs on them to rise. It felt good in a strange way, even though the warmth from our dinner made the cold on the rest of my body more obvious. I fought back another shiver, straightening and focusing on the task at hand. Uncle Ben would be back from his hunting trip at any moment and he would likely be painfully famished after a full day of finding food for us. I couldn’t let something like the weather keep me from putting warm food in his stomach. I needed to be strong. Soon, I would be a child no longer. Tonight, when the moon was at its highest point in the sky, I would be eighteen years old. I stared down into the pot of stew, watching the chunks of meat float in the murky broth. It was ha

My bones rattle as the alpha’s voice echoed through the chamber. My eyes widened and I looked around. All the other wolves had their heads lowered respectfully. I gritted my teeth and turned to face him again, looking him right in the eye.I narrowed my eyes, anger welling up inside of me as the alpha looked down at me with his chin raised. His lips were turned toward in a stern scowl, but something in his eyes glinted.Rage boiled over and I openly glared up at him, keeping my stance firm.His thick, angular eyebrows rose in surprise, taking me aback for a brief moment as well. I had broken through his strict alpha facade. Even if it was just for a second, I felt as if I understood the expression well. The asshole was shocked that I had challenged his authority. It likely never happened before.He would just have to get used to it.The fear I had felt when the alpha announced my sentence was quickly replaced with the stubbornness I needed to survive. Who did this asshole think he wa

“Watch where you’re going, rogue,” he spat in a deep, rumbling voice.My eyebrows raise at his tone. “My apologies,” I muttered, not really meaning it. He should have been able to dodge me. Yes, we were in a rush, but we weren’t running, especially, he had the keen senses of his wolf on his side.It was almost as if he wanted me to bump right into him.He tilted his head slightly, looking down at me with danger swimming in his gaze. “I hope you aren’t messing around,” he said. “You haven’t much time left to find a solution to our problem. The clock is ticking.”“I believe I’ve figured out the problem.” I lifted my chin, hoping to sound much more confident than I felt. “I have reason to believe that there is some kind of blockage along the river. Perhaps it would be best if you sent a team out to investigate. I’d guess by the water level, the blockage is several miles up the river.”I felt a rush of satisfaction when Jared’s eyebrows rose with surprise. For a short moment, he didn’t sp

 He paused and I stiffened, sitting up a bit straighter. His light brown eyes were calculating as he gave me a once-over. My heart stuttered nervously. Avery glanced at me in concern as well when she caught Jared’s look.He gave me a long look before facing the rest of the pack. “Needless to say, rogues are extremely dangerous and must be treated as such.”Again, his hard gaze fell on me and my eyes widened. “And tonight, we have one among us.”It was clear that word of my arrival had not reached many people, which wasn’t extremely surprising. Gasps and shocked exclamations echoed throughout the room. I ducked my head slightly, cursing Jerkface Jared to the pits of hell when a few members at our table sent looks of fear and disgust my way.All Jared had to do was narrow his eyes slightly over the crowd and they quieted immediately. “That being said, interacting with the rogue girl without my permissio

I shivered delicately, Jared’s voice seemed to echo through the small space of my bedroom. His eyes burned in the dim lighting.For some strange reason, I wasn’t afraid. A part of me felt resigned. From the moment I stepped foot on Moonstone territory, I knew that death was a possibility for me. Perhaps I had been lucky to make it this long.However, I also felt a spark of rage rise up within me. I tried to jerk my chin out of Jared’s grip, but he held me tightly. “If you’re here to kill me, then what are you waiting for?” I spat coldly. “Get on with it!”I swallowed as my own arrogant voice reached my ears. I regretted the way I spoke as soon as the corner of Jared’s lips tightened before tilting upward slightly.If I didn’t know him better, I might mistake the bastard’s sneer for amusement.Either way, I refused to break eye contact with him. If he killed me, I wanted to look him defiantly in the eye as he did.My coherent thoughts scattered for a moment as I attempted to glare at h
