All Chapters of His Rejected Mate (Game Of Wolves Book 3) : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kira glanced over her shoulder at Gavin. He sat, head back against his seat with his eyes closed. The steady rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was asleep.“What about the Ninth Pack?” Kira asked, turning back around.Kolton and August grimaced. “Those guys are the biggest assholes we’ve had to deal with,” August said. “They want the Eleventh Pack lands. Bad.”Kolton nodded and patted August on the shoulder. “These guys have been a godsend. Like I said, without them, the Ninth Pack would have invaded and very likely eviscerated us.” Kolton chewed the inside of his cheek as he turned back to Kira. “Jayson and his pack elders have accused our pack of orchestrating the assassination of Jayson’s father. They’re trying to push into our territories to kill off as many of our pack members they can get a hold of. We’re already one of the smallest packs. We can’t afford to lose more members.”Most of shifter society would have been taken aback to learn an unofficial pack was not only

“Yeah, yeah, we get it,” Kira said. “Let’s change the subject before you actually vomit. Can you give us more info on how the war is going? We need details.”Kolton looked relieved to get our attention off his obvious attraction to Eli. “Yeah, sure. The first skirmish, the one that started the whole war, was actually between our pack and the Ninth. It was right after they accused us of assassinating Jayson’s dad. There were lots of smaller engagements on the borderlands. The real issue, though, was that our fight set off a bomb among the other packs. There’s fighting happening around Fangmore City among the other packs. The city itself has locked down its borders to try and prevent rioting and fighting in the streets. That’s where all the top alphas and betas, along with the highest-ranking members of the Tranquility Council, have taken refuge. Right now, it’s the safest place.” Kolton growled.“There have even been reports of wolf shifters fighting in wiccan and human cities. Fae tow

As soon as I was free, I jumped to my feet and sprinted down the ramp to the ground below. Outside, I hit my knees, running my fingers through the grass, inhaling the familiar scent of the field we’d landed in. Home. As much as I wanted to be here, at the back of my mind, I‘d convinced myself I’d never see it again. In the depths of the worst horrors on Bloodstone, I’d pushed away any real belief that I’d return. Now here I was. It was like a dream.“Kira? Baby?”I gasped, choking on the lump that formed in my throat as tears stung my eyes. “Momma?”I looked up to see my parents running toward me. My mother rushed forward ahead of my father, whose arm was in a sling. I stood and sprinted for them, grabbing my mom and collapsing into happy sobs as she hugged me. I was a child the last time I let her hold me like that.Dad joined us and wrapped his good arm around me. We stood like that for several long moments before I managed to get myself back under control.Releasing them, I eyed Da

“Depends on what it is,” Mika said with a grin.“Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to keep me safe on a trip to check on my family. To make sure they’re safe.”Mika’s grin widened. It was nice to see. He’d smiled so rarely on the island. He was handsome, and more than that, he was a kind and gentle man. All the things his pack wasn’t, and everything Zoe deserved.“I think I’m up for it,” he said.“Good! I’m sure my parents and grandparents will want to meet the hottest alpha from the final season of The Reject Project.”“Okay,” he said. For the first time since I first met him, he actually looked excited.Zoe turned to give me one last hug. “See you soon, bestie.” She jabbed a threatening finger into my nose. “No getting into danger while I’m gone.”“No promises,” I said, cracking a grin.“Ugh, you shifters. A real pain in my ass.” Zoe raised an eyebrow at Mika. “Though, sometimes a pain in the ass can feel really good, if you know what I mean.”Mika smiled, then frowne

I’d only been gone for a few hours, and already things were getting back to normal. As normal as it could be under the circumstances.When I stepped in the front door, the delicious aroma of cooking food slammed into my nostrils. Saliva poured into my mouth. When had I last eaten? A few potatoes prior to attacking Simon’s lab? That had been at least eighteen hours ago. I was starving.In the kitchen, I found a familiar scene. Kolton and his dad sat on one side of the table, Kira and her mother on the other. I’d seen it a million times over the years, but for some reason, this felt more real. In the past, I’d found them like this when I stopped by to see Kolton. Back then, I’d have found some way to irritate or needle Kira. Push her buttons to get a rise out of her. Anything to get her to give me attention. Now, as I walked through the threshold, she turned and smiled at me. No need to bug her—she wanted me here.Although, her parents didn’t seem to share the sentiment.“Wyatt.” Kira
