All Chapters of The Rejected Cursed Wolf: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When we pulled up to our white, modern, colonial-style house, all the lights were on. Bodey parked the Navigator in our driveway and opened the garage.By the time the five of us climbed out of the vehicle, the four royal advisors, Stella and Stevie, had come through the garage door to meet us.King Sutton’s eyebrows rose. “How many people live with you?”“Oh, we were just getting the place ready for you all.” Stella smiled, looking welcoming in her trendy long-sleeve, belted black dress. “The royal advisors wanted to greet you before we left.”“Your dress.” Brittany’s mouth dropped open. “I love it.”Stella chuckled. “Finally, someone here with fashion sense. Callie’d rather go barefoot than wear heels, and Stevie mostly sticks with cotton clothing.”I huffed. “The one time I wore heels, they prevented me from fighting and getting away from Kel’s wolves.” I glanced at King Sutton. “And I go by Callie.”Not even listening, Brittany pointed to the Navigator. “Oh, you should see what I

“It’s all about appearances.” My throat ached, the few bites of breakfast I’d eaten heavy in my stomach. “A queen needs protection, and she wants to ensure no one questions her claim to the title.” I hated that I was beginning to understand her.Chelsea sat taller, the white priestess dress looking different on her, especially with Dina on the other side of her, dressed in black.“Were there any signs of witches?” Chelsea held a cup of tea in both hands.King Sutton winced. “We didn’t send any witches with them, but they saw five women working in a garden in the backyard. They wore dresses similar to yours.”“From what I remember, Kel’s royal coven consists of twenty witches.” Dina held her head high, but her dull-looking skin made her appear like a different person. “I’d estimate at least twenty there with her, just to be safe.”“Seventy is what we need to account for.” Bodey nodded. “Fifty shifters and twenty witches. We should bring at least double.”That sounded reasonable, but wh

I don’t like where this conversation is going. Bodey’s displeasure flowed between us. He’s trying to take Jasmine from us, and you’re on their side.I tried not to smile. He was being silly, but I wouldn’t share that observation with him. Unlike a lot of men, I knew better than to tell someone who was upset to calm down. The last thing I wanted to do was gaslight him. His feelings were valid. Actually, I’m taking your side because I know you. If you give your sister grief about being with her fated mate, you’ll regret it. I was just giving you the backstory to explain why I’m no longer upset with Theo. He was as much of a victim as me for all those years, and we’re trying to move beyond that. Do you realize how hard it must have been for him to come to us and ask to be part of our pack, knowing how much you dislike him?A bit of regret took the sting out of his reaction. You can’t just let me go on disliking him?There was the man I knew. He was protective as hell of me and those he l

Come on, Bodey linked, placing my dagger back into my hand and taking my other hand in his. We need to catch up.Your shoulder. I reached out to look at it, noting the blood coating his sleeve.I’ll heal. We need to focus. He cupped my cheek and kissed my lips.Miles appeared beside me. Let’s hurry before they get into trouble. Or we do.He was right. We were separated from everyone else.Tapping into my wolf, I took off, following the scent of our friends. A breeze picked up as we raced through the woods, the sounds of fighting echoing around us. We soon caught up with our group since they’d been running slower for the witches, and we settled back into a rhythm with them.We were getting worried, Samuel linked. Jack and Lucas were about to turn around.We’re fine, I assured him, not wanting to talk long. We dealt with the three wolves chasing us.Something cold tingled down my spine, and I turned to the right. The edge of a black dress caught my attention before it vanished behind a

At my feet, the darker wolf shook its head like it was trying to kill my boot or take it off. It growled, reminding me of a puppy with a stuffed animal, but this was not cute. This was my foot, and I was damn lucky he hadn’t pierced through the shoe.With my free foot, I kicked the darker wolf in the snout, and a dark-beige wolf bounded toward me. The dark wolf jerked back, releasing the boot and dodging my second blow at his nose.Something had to give. We hadn’t even made it to Kel’s mansion, and Bodey and I were already injured.More wolves are coming, Reggie linked. Behind us.I tensed. Reinforcements were here. We should’ve known Kel was paranoid as fuck. Do you need us? I sure hoped they didn’t, but I refused to let my people and King Sutton’s be slaughtered.We’re fine, Reggie replied. Just wanted to let you know to watch your back.Another time, his choice of words might have been funny, but not with the dark-beige wolf breathing down my neck.Holstering my gun, I tried to rem
