All Chapters of The Alpha Rejected Second Chance Mate : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Malia’s POVI sat watching the maids run around for chores, and then I spotted Dexter. He gave me a wink, and I felt this urgent need to run. I knew the longer I stayed in this pack, the more dangerous it was for me. I knew I had to leave. So I plotted my escape.The pack guards always went on a shift by 11 p.m.They had dinner together. That would be a perfect plan to run off, but then again, I needed the approval of the matron to stay outside past my bedtime. I decided to put the plan away for a while."Wake up everybody!!!!!!” I heard the cook scream as she threatened to pour us water. We, the maids of the Blood Moon Pack, slept in the smallest rooms in the mansion. The rooms were just like match boxes. In fact, the fish in a sardine can get a lot more space than us in that room. We slept like sticks. No one moved for fear of stepping on someone else.As I still tried to keep sleeping, I felt something wet and extremely cold on me.“Oh my God! Cook, do you have to do that?” I whined

Michael’s POVI walked up to them.“What the hell are you doing here, Jake?" I glared at him.“He is here to see me," Nora said without a trace of a smile on her face. I looked from Jake to Nora. There was something going on. Their body language was one. Anger. It felt like Jake had done the usual. I didn’t even have the time to realize that Nora had spoken to me in a raised voice. She had never done that.“What did you do?” I growled at Jake. He looked away and tapped Nora.“You see what I was talking about,” he said in mock fear.“What were you telling her, you traitor?” I walked closer to him, but Nora was in the way."Michael, did you or did you not visit Jake at his pack?” Nora said. My eyes widened at that statement. I knew at once that the question was a trap.“Answer me!” she shrieked.In the depths of the sea, I recalled a moment Jake set me up when we were younger. It was when he was in my clique. It was when I moved to the human world and was adopted by a rich family. Jake

Nora’s POVThere was no work for me today. That I knew was a certainty the moment my eyes fluttered open. A weird part of me wanted to lay in bed, sit still, and not breathe. Maybe if I did just that, all the heartache would go away. I would not have to think about Michael and his sinister plans. It was stupid of me to think that Hercules would side with me. I was outnumbered, too. I don’t think Mia or Zen would be on my side either. That was why I needed to talk to Claire. But then, when I began to lose my breath, my eyes watered. I had no other option but to snap out of it. Obviously, it wasn’t working.I sat up. Running my hands through my hair and wincing at the pain. I should not have slept with it yet, but the memories of how I went to bed yesterday remind me of a zombie doing her nighttime routine. I flipped around and grabbed my phone. Claire had left me three missed calls. I snorted. I mean, she had practically been blowing up her phone all night. I might as well have given h

Zen’s POVI looked at her, deadpan.“I took them off.” I paused as if to let that sink in. I could hear her audible gasp. “Your clothes were dirty and soggy from the sweat—as if instinctively she turned to her right and stared at the towel at the top of her head—if you were heating up."Oh,” she whispered. She still had her hands on her chest.I began to walk into the bathroom when I heard her speak.She started speaking loudly, then her voice went low. “So where did you sleep? “she fiddled with a loose thread on the blanket. She was looking everywhere but at my face. My lips spread into a slow smile. She wasn’t going to give up on this, huh? As I stared at her, a devilish idea reared its head in my mind.I smirked. “On the bed,” I said with no trace of humor on my face. This time she didn't only gasp; she clasped her hands to her mouth. The horror in her eyes, I bet, could be evident to the blind. Her eyes went wide, like a security guard’s flashlight. I fought the urge to laugh so m

Michael’s POVToday was Zen’s bachelor party. He wasn’t in the building, so I and Hercules decided that it wouldn’t hurt to drink a few rounds without him. I hadn’t seen Nora since the incident. I mean, aside from the time I met her at the door. I didn’t know why I acted so coldly toward her, but that was how I felt. She shattered all my hopes of breaking the curse, and most importantly, she broke my heart."Have you seen her?” Hercules asked. I stared at him and took a sip of my drink."No,” I said sullenly.“That’s not good." Hercules commented. "Do you think she’s been spending some time with him?""Honestly, I don’t care,” I said, but Hercules looked at me in that kind of way that said,Liar, liar, pants on fire."Okay, I care. I sent out some guards to follow her around. All she does is visit that friend of hers,” I said, and Hercules smiled.“That’s better,” he said.We watched the people drink, and we didn’t say a word to each other.“So Herc…. What do you think I should do?” I
