All Chapters of Rejected Twice: Redeemed by the Cursed Lycan: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CLAIRE FISCHERI DID NOT know who this Lucia was, but I was grateful for her arrival. She had just saved me from the unspeakable things Alec was going to do to me. My captor Alec slowly released me. I immediately picked up my clothes and pressed them to my body.Alek turned and looked at his brother. “How did she know we were back?” He asked in a hushed whisper.Joram shrugged. His eyes swept across the room and settled on me. I immediately lowered my gaze. Even though Joram looked a tad calmer and less intimidating than his brother, I knew that looks could be deceiving, and the last thing I wanted to do was to attract his attention.“We should talk,” Joram said in a strong voice to his brother, who walked away and grabbed a shirt from the bed, shrugging it on.“I don’t have anything to say to you,” Alex replied. He started to walk out, then he stopped, looked at me, and said, “We are not done.” A chill shiver ran down my spine.Joram looked at me for a few seconds, then he sighed and

CLAIRE FISCHERI WOKE UP with a startle. I was lost for a few seconds, not sure of where I was until the whole event of last night came to me – Alex, the abduction… and what almost followed. I sat up slowly, stretching out my stiff back; I had slept in an awkward position on the floor. I looked around the room. I was alone, so that meant he had not come back last night. He and Lucia had spent the night together, satisfying each other’s desires.Better her than me, I said to myself, gathering myself from the floor.I went to the adjoining room where the old woman had washed me yesterday. I had not had the liberty to appreciate the elegance of the room and bathroom. I ran my hand across the smooth tiles and the smooth, wide basin. I turned on the tap, and warm water flowed out silently. I stepped under the shower, enjoying the feeling of warm water washing down my skin.When was the last time I had had a proper shower?Not that brash washing that the women had given me yesterday.I don’

ALEKSANDER VON SINCLAIRHE HAD PATRONIZED them long enough. And his patience had been drawing thinner since he joined the meeting.He had had a very uneventful night even though he had spent it with Lucia. His member had simply fallen and refused to rise again. His mind was with the prisoner in his chambers, not the cougar Lucia, who was with him in a guest room. He had played it off and pushed her aside, telling her that he was no longer in the mood. She pouted all night and even attempted to stroke him hard during the night so she could ride him while he slept, but to no avail.He pretended to be asleep as she tossed and turned on the bed beside him in frustration. A side of him felt bad for her; after all, it was not her fault. But another side of him did not even want her to be here.He finally slept for a few hours, but he was awake again very early. She was gone. He heaved a sigh of relief and got out of bed. He went to his chambers, eager to touch the prisoner girl again, but h

ALEKSANDER VON SINCLAIRWHEN ALEK STORMED out of the meeting, he had not gone back to the mansion. He was not ready to see the girl, or even Lucia for that matter. He wanted some alone time, so he stalked to a part of these woods that he knew so well. It was a resort for him as a child. He walked past the trees that dated as old as 150 years old. They had been here when he was a child.He was that old. He cursed as the realization hit him. He was reaching the average middle of a Lycan's life span.So... does that mean I am experiencing a midlife crisis? He asked himself as he plucked some wild fruits and threw them in his mouth. "Was that what this irritable character is all about?"His beast scoffed in response.Alek spat out the seed of the fruit into the shrubs, trying to shoot as far as he could, just as he used to do when he was a child. He walked for a few more minutes until he came upon a spot in the woods that was clear of trees but spotted with rocks jutting out of the ground

CLAIRE FISCHERI SAT FIXED on my chair for a long minute after Alek walked out, considering my options. He had offered me protection, but in exchange, I had to sleep with him.Was that a fair trade? I asked. I closed my eyes and rubbed the sockets with the heels of my wrists.What would my father think of me if he knew that I was sleeping my way to escape danger?I sighed and opened my eyes. Alek had not given me any space for negotiation but at least had given me till night to come to a decision.I could use this time to look around and maybe leave the clan if I wanted to. I dug into the meals on the table.Who knows when the next time I would be eating something like this would be if I left?When I was stuffed, I stood up, rubbing my stomach in contentment. I walked to the window and looked out. The scenery was beautiful, and I wanted to explore it more.I went out of the dining room and made my way through the maze-like rooms until I was outside. I strolled along the street, taking
