All Chapters of Rejected Mate: The Lycan King's claim: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Dexter's POV The doorways were becoming tighter; my time in this body had expired, and I needed to find a new one as soon as possible. With what I had seen tonight, it was hard to think that I stood any chance with the king in fighting for his woman. Kate was a nice woman, and her daughter, Trish, was even nicer. It felt good to have them, and I knew that the longer I took to report back to my boss, the easier it would be for him to find a reason to end me later. "So you come back home, at last?" I heard a grungy voice from the corner of my room. I squinted my eyes to see where it was coming from, even though I could recognize that voice even in my dreams. "My king, I am sorry. I was not expecting you today. Has something happened?" I asked. I pressed the switch and found out that the electricity supply to my apartment had been cut off. "I want results. You are taking too long to get them, and I feel that something is not right. Are you hiding anything from me, boy?". He demanded,

King Kai's POV I anticipated sneaking off the penthouse to see Trisha and Katherine right after my last meeting. They seemed to be the only thing that I looked forward to now. Katherine still didn't let me sleep over, but I was allowed to spend as much time as I wanted. “There is not one trace of them. We have combed the entire area to see if we can get one, but shadow hunters are difficult to catch during the day, and they are too deadly at night. We need a new strategy, my king.” Azra said, and I nodded my head absent-mindedly, too lost in my thoughts about where I would be when I was done with him. “So what do you want to do?” I asked him.“I think the shadow hunters are working with the slave trade rig.” He announced, and that statement caught my attention. “What do you mean by that?” I asked and sat up to listen to him properly. “From my investigations, none of the kingdoms under the slave trade rig or even suspected to have affiliations with them have been attacked by the s

King Kai's POV The young doctor soon transformed, and I saw his wolf with no tail and his skeletons showing. He was really a hollow wolf, and he was not lying about anything else. “Transform. What is your real name?” I asked him, watching him closely. “My name is Dexter. That is my real name.” He replied. “Alright. Give me a moment to talk to Katherine.” I said and waved him to the side. Katherine came out almost immediately, and from all indications, she had been eavesdropping on our conversation. “What do you think?” I asked her, and she blushed furiously, seeing that I had seen right through what she had done. “I don't know. I think we should give him a chance. If he does not tell us the truth, then he would only have himself to blame. To be honest, ever since he has been around, he has been a good colleague, just about overbearing and annoying sometimes.” Katherine said. “Alright. We will give him a chance then. I know you have heard everything that we talked about, so tel

Katherine's POV Work the next day was not very exciting for me, as I could not take my mind off the female friend that Kai had mentioned last night. In fact, I had bad dreams about it and could barely fall asleep for a stretch without jerking awake. He had slept beside me all night, and I wanted to wake him up so many times and ask who this female friend really was. I have heard about how kings kept mistresses and introduced them to each other. They often pretended that the said woman was just a friend, and before you knew what was happening, she would be with a child for the king. I didn't want to seem desperate or insecure, so I did not say anything to him about it, even though he had a mischievous smile on his face and refused to provide personal information about the friend who was coming to help us out with the case. “You look like you have seen a ghost. What's up?” Elera asked me. “Oh, hi,” I replied, nearly screaming. “Did I scare you?” She asked me with a wide grin on he

Katherine's POV “We need to talk, Katherine. There's something you need to know, and we have met before. Kai, take us to a secure location. I'll have to use my disguise spell since she didn't recognize me.” Claire said to me before turning her attention to Kai and asking him to take us to a safe place. “Alright,” Kai answered and pulled me close to himself, kissing the top of my head gently. “Why didn't you tell me that Claire is an older woman?” I whispered furiously at him.“And miss the chance to see what jealousy looks like on you? Not on my watch!” Kai whispered back with laughter dancing on his lips. I felt ashamed of myself for the emotional stress I had put myself through because I had thought Claire was his secret mistress. It was like he had seen through my jealousy and intentionally decided to put me through stress. He would have to pay for that. “So, what happened back at the clinic?” He asked me on our way to the safe location that they had spoken about. “Elera and
