Rejected Mate novel Chapter 10

Erika's pov

I wake up feeling both trapped and safe at the same time; it's insanely warm as well, which doesn't help, how the hell is all of this happening?

I remember flashing back to being a slave and then nothing, everything went white, warm and fuzzy now my head is laying on a pillow that seems to have its hands and arms wrapped around my body which on the one hand feels safe and warm and on the other it makes me feel trapped and confused.

I bury my head into my pillow more only to hear it growl and tighten its arms around me, wait a growl? Arms? Oh god. I let out an air piercing scream making my bedroom door swing open with Ben and Ashley rushing in to check on me and the person who was cuddling me to jump out of bed. Looking up at the person, I notice a topless Hazyn.

"what the flying fuck Hazyn" I scream making Ben and Ashley rush out of the room away from the scene so that they don't land up dead in the crossfire.

"you were having a nightmare last night and Josh my wolf told me that to calm you down and stop the nightmare for waking up the whole pack to get in bed and cuddle you, I must have fallen asleep," he replies rubbing the back of his neck innocently as if he wasn't cuddling me as if his life depended on it.

"Hazyn, how would everyone wake up, and how would you hear my nightmare? The house is soundproof" I state confused by his logic.

"about that, the guest rooms are not soundproof, and sound cant leave the rooms of the regular wolves, but they can hear still hear what's going on outside of their rooms" he grumbles making me whine.

"get out, get out, get out before I kill you for even being in my room" I scream, making him rush out like the room was on fire. What was the jackass thinking? Just allow me to have a nightmare geeze; they can't kill anybody.

Walking downstairs, all I hear is whispers.

"I heard they had sex last night."

"I thought they were only cuddling."

"maybe they are mates."

"that's impossible, she had a mate, and she got rejected."

"she must be a slut"

"look at what she is wearing, definitely a slut." I look down at my outfit to see I am still in the hospital PJs that they gave me which is only a pair of trousers and a singlet top. Deciding to put an end to this, I growl out.

"shut up, I am no slut, this doesn't reveal anything, it is your hospital PJs since no one has given me any other clothing and my bag was taken from me, I am not your alphas mate, and it is none of your business if I was rejected, we didn't sleep together, and we were not cuddling either, your alpha is a dick head who decided he knew what was best for me which was pulling me out of a nightmare and his dick ass fell asleep. If I hear you talking bad about me once more time; I will have your head for dinner and don't think your alpha will stop me. He is a weakling that even I scare" I growl out before storming into the kitchen to see Ben cooking.
