All Chapters of REJECTED AND REDEEMED : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42: FATHER AND DAUGHTER The bronze household smelled of cedar wood and old ambitions and old designs.Lyra sat across from her father, elder bronze, in his private study, a room filled with awards from his active warrior days, dusty scrolls, and the faded scent of cigars. A fire crackled in the hearth, casting long shadows across their faces.Bronze was smiling. It was not a kind smile but a fulfilled smile, a smile saying his plans had worked. "Did you see her face?" He asked, leaning back in his leather chair, swirling a glass of amber liquid. " When they dragged those documents out of her room? When they announced the treason charges? The confused, frustrated and downcast look. It's the best thing I have ever seen."Lyra's lips curved upward. " I saw it. She looked like a rabbit caught in a snare." "Good, she deserves all of it and even more." Bronze took a long sip, his eyes glinting over the rim. "That's exactly what she is. A rabbit playing wolf. A nobody playing qu

Chapter 44: CAUGHT SNEAKING The fight started over a woman. Caden has been walking through the lower district, investigating supply lines and everything that had been brought into the kingdom for the past two weeks for arden, when the first punch was thrown. A drunk wolf, reeking of cheap ale and more cheaper decisions, he still didn't stop as he kept ordering and drinking more and when the owner of the shop refused to give him more, he started making awful comments about her. He did not know her mate sat down among them and said nothing and before he could realize a punch landed in his face as the mate had responded with his fist.By the time Caden arrived, a crowd had gathered, everyone cheering and hollering as the two men rolled through the mud, tearing at each other like animals, baring their canines at each other as their claws elongated, their eyes blood red but still maintained the human form. Technically, they were."Break it up!" Caden shouted, shoving his way through

Chapter 46: A TRAPEthan's knees struck the earth with a force that cracked the frozen ground beneath him.He tried to move or stand but his body wouldn't bulge, he even found it hard to breathe, he felt surpressed by a force which was way more than gravity.His body was no longer his own. His wolf, the arrogant, brutal beast that had always answered his every command, was cowering in the back of his mind, whimpering like a puppy that had been kicked into the rain."What_" Ethan gasped, streaks of sweat pouring down his face. " What did you do to me? What have you done? How dare you?"Hazel looked down at him with utmost disgust in her eyes.For a moment, just a few minutes she felt a flicker of satisfaction. This was the man who rejected her in front of her entire pack, the man who called her a worthless and wolfless omega, who always seized all chances to call her useless. The man who had made her fell like less than nothing.And now he was kneeling at her feet, with a confused and

Chapter 48: STAY WITH ME"Everything stops now."Darian's voice cut through the clearing like a sharp blade.He stepped into the opening, and Hazel's breath caught in her throat. She had heard stories about him, about the monster before her. The rogue who had killed Arden's family, though they didn't give her more details about what had happened, the monster who wore a man's face, the shadow that had been hunting them since before she even arrived at the palace.The stories didn't do him justice.He was tall, nearly as tall as Arden, with a face that might have been handsome if not for the cruelty lurking in his eyes. His hair was dark, streaked with gray, and a long scar ran from his temple to his jaw, pulling his mouth into a permanent sneer.Behind him, at least fifty rogues emerged from the trees, all of them smelled like bad news as they had an evil glint on their faces.Weapons glinted in the moonlight. Swords, axes, crossbows aimed directly at Hazel's heart."We only brought a

Chapter 50: KADE'S CHOPPED FINGERSThe great hall had never felt so small.Arden walked through the massive doors, and the temperature in the room dropped like someone had thrown them into a winter night. His white hair hung loose, damp with sweat and still caked faintly at the temples with Hazel's blood. He didn't wipe it off. He let his mates blood stick to him.His silver eyes moved across the elders one by one. Men who'd taught him how to lead, to bleed for his pack, who'd filled in his father's place and called themselves his uncles.One by one, they all looked away.He didn't speak.He walked past the long marble table, past the polished wood and silver inlays that meant nothing now, and sat down on the throne. It was high, a perfect golden throne that glittered, anybody given a chance to sit there wouldn't even blink before accepting the offer. But they wouldn't dare. No one could speak to him without craning their neck. Today it felt like a guillotine.The silence was worse th
