All Chapters of His Rejected Second Chance Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zara's POV "I am sorry for taking so long," Alpha Jack said, settling into his desk chair. "And for the way Luna Mary behaved."I stood up and nodded, but Luke motioned for me to remain where I was."We will be over to sit with you shortly," Alpha Jack remarked.Andrew hurried to answer a knock that was rather softly coming from the office door."Who would bother us in the middle of the night?" With a growl, Luke cast his gaze downward at his watch."An omega," Andrew retorted, oblivious to his sibling's rage."What does she want?" Luke growled, clenching his teeth and putting his hands across his chest."She is bringing food," Andrew replied as he pulled open the door."What for?" Luke asked."So that your precious Zara can stuff her face." Luke's eyes darted to me as Andrew sarcastically answered. "She did not eat, and her hunger sounds apparent.""When was the last time you had any food?" Luke asked."Yesterday at ten o'clock," I answered."In the evening?" he inquired."No, morni

Nicolas POV"I will be out in a minute, Levi-bear!" My heart skipped a beat when I heard Zara's voice coming down the hallway. Her sweet remarks about Levi made me feel envious and territorial.Levi raised his hand defensively and hastily, as if sensing my change in mood."It's not what you think," he defended. "Zara has been calling me that for as long as I remember. It is only a nickname. I swear.""A nickname?" The two words rolled tiredly from my tongue. I was physically and emotionally worn out. It was starting to wear on my body and mind because I had not slept at all for the previous two days.Nevertheless, I was compelled to come and attempt to correct things with Zara. I had to tell her I was sorry, hoping she would accept my apology."Yes," Levi replied."Have you heard me,...?" Zara called once more, a little louder this time."Yes, I did," Levi shot back at her. "I am eagerly awaiting your arrival. Our food is starting to get cold. Hurry up and get dressed! I am starving!"

Nicolas POVI have spent the last thirty minutes standing at Zara's bedroom door, apologizing.Still, she had not even attempted to unlock the door.Will her heart ever soften enough to forgive me?Will I ever get an opportunity to present my case to her?My phone started ringing in my pocket, and I hesitated to answer. At that point, I was not ready to give up. I pressed the side button on my phone, and it went silent."Zara," I called out. "I am sure you can hear me. I apologize for saying those things, but you only heard one side of the conversation. Please accept my apology.""That would not exactly improve the situation," said Ray.I continued hammering on the door and calling her, ignoring Ray.I was aware that Zara was still in her room. Her rich, euphoric wildflower scent was still lingering in the surrounding air.I called out to Levi and moved away from the door."Yes, Alpha," he replied, looking from the door to me."Have you tried linking Zara?" I asked, desperate to find

Zara's POV"Someone seems very happy this morning," Levi teased as I sat for breakfast. He was holding his piece of toast in his hand and had already served him some food. "It appears that the storm washed away all of your sorrows."I laughed and took a seat at the table, grabbing a slice of bread and piling some bacon and eggs onto my plate.Levi narrowed his eyes as he attempted to read me."You seem different this morning," he went on. "Something has changed. I simply cannot put my finger on it."Levi placed his toast back down on his plate, sat back, and watched me for a moment.I felt uneasy about his stare, embarrassed to the point where my face flushed.Could he figure out my little secret?Can I keep this secret hidden for long?"I am not sure what you are talking about," I said, reaching for the strawberry jam jar.While I carefully smeared some jam onto my toast, Levi bit his lip and observed me."I believe you do," he remarked, and I unintentionally turned to look at him.W

Nicolas POV"From where did you obtain the information?" I asked Ronan as I turned the final page of the file. Though I never imagined it went that deep, the contents shocked me and made perfect sense for the Nightingale Pack to be supporting the Red Claw Pack."I have my resources," Ronan said, grinning and interlacing his fingers.He patiently waited for me to complete the file review and offer my opinion."Hopefully, this information was not obtained unlawfully," I responded, closing the document. It could put a target on our backs, and I didn't want that. My pack's safety was more important to me."I did not need to; it was all done in favor," he said, grinning smugly.I turned my head to the side and furrowed my brows. My spine tingled with an unholy sensation.What was Ronan getting up to?Who and why did they provide him with this information?Was there someone he was blackmailing?"I do not think so," Ray said, listening in on my thoughts. He was interested to see what Ronan h
