All Chapters of The Rejected Cursed Wolf: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Stevie.Lynerd must have told Kel she was still alive. I wasn’t surprised, but I wished he’d kept my sister out of it.“Listen here,” I started, but the line went dead. She’d made sure to have the final word, and I’d foolishly let her have that control.A faint sob came from Stevie, and I tossed the phone onto the end table.Jack pulled her into his arms and cradled her to his chest as he murmured, “They won’t get anywhere near you or Callie.”“What was the point of calling you?” Stella wrinkled her nose.“To gloat?” Lucas pursed his lips.“I think she meant what she said about Callie’s heart. She knows if she takes us over by force, she’ll lose more lives and loyalty, and she was giving Callie one more chance to surrender before she orders the witches forward.” Michael pinched the bridge of his nose. “The death of witches won’t be as easy for her to wash away, but if she promised the witches something they want badly enough, they’re more likely to overlook a few of their own casualti

An older woman with silver hair shook her head. “No. Just death.”Death.Dina had prayed to the death goddess. “We need to retrieve the wolves. We can’t leave them here. Can you help us?”“No.” The older witch shook her head so hard that a stray hair smacked the side of her face. “We can’t get any closer without tainting our souls. But you should be safe.”Should be safe.That didn’t sound reassuring. “Are the witches gone?” I didn’t want to walk into a trap.“They can’t hurt you or your pack.” The older one clasped her hands. “But we can’t get any closer than here, and the sooner we leave, the sooner we’ll feel safe again. The essence of evil is all around them. Bring the wolves to us, and we can wake them up.”Yeah, that wasn’t creepy at all. Everyone, let’s each grab a wolf. Between the witches’ response and the friction chafing my skin, I didn’t want us to stay any longer than we needed to.Several wolves shifted back into human form, not worried about their nudity. We all spread

I hated that Zeke had made her feel that way—correction, made us feel that way—until my wolf had broken free. No one should ever feel unvalued. Both these women would do anything to protect the ones they loved, even if it went against their beliefs. I’d always live with the regret of throwing Stevie into that basement when she’d been trying to protect me, but I couldn’t go back in time and change it. We had to move on, and I’d do everything I could to make it up to her in the future.“Listen, I’m not trying to be ungracious. It means a lot that each of you is looking at me with compassion and not disgust, but I need to head home and get some rest. I need to figure out how to move on from here. Time to pray to the goddesses and come to grips with this loss on my own.” Dina ran a hand down her stomach, smoothing the white priestess dress—a dress I was accustomed to seeing her in and probably would never see her wearing again.“I need to check on Jasmine.” Michael rose and yawned. “Janet

“I felt the same about your family. That conversation has always stuck with me. Over the years, I saw what he’d noticed back then. No matter what happened, Kel isolated herself from the other territories. We didn’t hear a damn thing from her until three years ago.”It was a whole lot of information to take in, and I wasn’t sure if I was awake enough to have this conversation. I yawned and covered my mouth, trying not to let King Sutton hear. I wasn’t bored, just exhausted.Bodey snickered. Let me go get you a cup of coffee.I grabbed his arm, and he stilled. I don’t want you to go. I want you to hear the entire conversation.He tapped my forehead gently and winked, Then open up our connection. I’ll be able to hear everything. I’ll be back in a few minutes. He kissed my nose and crawled out of our bed.All brain cells misfired as I stared at his naked ass, and when he bent down and snatched his pajama bottoms off the floor, a bit of drool puddled in the corner of my mouth. I wasn’t sur

Kissing her forehead, King Sutton rolled his eyes. “And don’t worry. She did just that.”Edward yawned. “I hate to rush the introduction, but I’d love to get settled in. We’ve been traveling nonstop.”I didn’t miss Bodey’s jaw tightening, and he didn’t miss a beat as he opened the front passenger door and waved me inside.As I slid into my spot, Edward opened the back seat and crawled into the back row, where he stretched out. His lackadaisical demeanor settled my nerves. If I were planning to betray someone, I might be able to sit back and relax, but I wouldn’t be able to lie down and take a nap.Brittany moved into the seat behind me as King Sutton and Bodey opened their doors at the same time.As Bodey drove off, I took a deep breath. They’d arrived, and we’d gotten out of there with no issue. It was promising, but that could change at any time.Merging onto the main road, Bodey glanced into the rearview mirror. “We were getting worried that something might have happened.”I faced
