All Chapters of Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Branches snap beneath my hurried, bloody feet. I don’t know where I am. All I know is that I have to run. The dancing trees offer no protection from my captors. I can hear them behind me, hissing as they close in on my trail. My lungs burn, and blood leaks from the wound on my torso. I’m exhausted, but I can’t stop. Not even for a second, or I’ll be caught. My only hope is to get out of these trees and into the rising sun. This would be much easier if I could get Vera to wake up, but this is why Jake trained me in my human form, too. We can’t always rely on our wolves to save us.The sun breaks through the tree line, offering me a breath of relief. There are only a few feet left between me and freedom. The hissing gets louder. I can feel the wind from their fast movements breathing down my neck. Dead fingers graze my shoulder, narrowly missing the chance to grab me. As the wind picks up more, my window to freedom closes. My feet feel like cement as I rush to touch the sunlight. I thro

“How are you feeling?” Paige asks.“I’m okay. Really, I’m fine, Luna.”“Okay. Alpha Stephen is on his way. He left Moonbeam when he heard you were awake.”“He didn’t need to do that. I’m fine.”“Yes, yes. We all heard your lies,” Jake dismisses me. “You aren’t convincing anyone that you’re okay. I mean, you just spent two weeks with a deranged bloodsucker. No one would blame you for being on edge.”I give him a tight smile. I am on edge, but I’ve survived Lyle before and I’ll survive him again.“So, Amber, we believe we were sent to Raven’s Blood as a distraction. We think Alpha Clyde was feeding Lyle intel, and that’s how he knew where to find you,” Colin says.“Clyde is dead now, so no

The brightness of the sunrise forces my eyelids to open. Amber’s serene face is the first thing my eyes land on. Her head is on my chest with her leg wrapped around my torso. Goddess, how I’ve missed waking up like this. She’s so beautiful. I could never tire of looking at her. I kiss the top of her head lightly, not daring to wake her.“Mmmm. Alex,” she whispers in her sleep.Her leg skims the top of my manhood, awakening the eager muscle. I suppress a groan at the heavenly contact and try to make him stand down. This is not going to help me get Amber back and I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t want to wake up next to her almost mate and his hard cock. She moves again, applying more pressure to my groin. He reacts on his own, throbbing against her leg. My body freezes while I try to think of a way that I can move without waking her. As if my morning wasn’t going well enough, the

I stare at the note like the words are going to rearrange themselves and tell me it’s all a joke. The morbid ink stares back at me as if it’s happy to be the bearer of bad news. All I can think about is how Kayla must’ve felt. Did she know what he was going to do to her? I should’ve paid more attention to who she was with at that bar.Kayla is dead because of me. Nothing will change that. The fresh wave of guilt brings an undertow of grief with it. I cry like I haven’t already used up all my tears, but the tears can’t carry away the pain. Kayla was that bubbly girl everyone loves. She loved to have fun, and she always dreamed of her happily ever after. Now, Kayla is gone. Her future is snuffed out. Her parents will never have grandchildren. Her mate will never have a shot at true love. I wish I had said no to going out on her birthday. I should’ve tried harder to get her to stay home, but it’s too late for wishe

Waking up next to Amber is a delightful torture. I love seeing her face every single morning, but the constant hard-on I have for her is becoming painful. We haven’t gone any further than a few heated make out sessions despite my overwhelming need for her. Amber is holding back. She’s still scared to fully give in to me and our love, like she’s afraid that I’ll just cast her aside if she gives me all of her. I can’t blame the girl, but damn, it hurts so much.“ALEX!” Jake opens the front door. “ALEX!”I jump at the sound. Amber still snores quietly next to me, so I slip from the bed and barrel down the stairs. “Would you stop yelling? She’s sleeping.”“My bad. Some lady is here.”“Lady?”I hear a slap land on the back of Jake’s head, and I know exactly who it is.
