Chapter 30 My eyebrows lifted high . And my wolf stirred , though she didn't rise to the surface or try to talk to me . Knockout thought I was gorgeous ? My mate got pleasure from my pain ? How do you know that ? " Wyatt frowned . " I watched his expression when we were fighting . " Knockout nodded toward me . " He's not trying to hide it . He wants her broken and hurting . " Surprise made my throat swell . " What ? " " Some bastards get off on breaking people . You got saddled to one of them . " " Why would the moon goddess give me a sadist for a mate ? " I protested . " I told you , she sent you here for the rabid wolves . " Knockout gestured to Wyatt . Wyatt nodded his agreement . ' I don't think she'd do that , " I argued . The doors opened , and another set of humans came in . They opened two more cages , and two wolves left with them . ' Are you going to take over again if we see our mate ? " I asked my wolf . She scoffed at me but didn't answer . That was a yes . Dammit . My wolf will run if we see him , " I told the guys . Knockout's head bobbed . " Warn Hog on your way out . Maybe he can keep her from Asshole . " My lips quirked up in the tiniest smile at Knockout's use of my loving nickname for the guy .

" I pulled the shirt on right over the top of the one I was already wearing . One gigantic men's shirt looked bad enough ; why not throw another one on ? ' Are you sure ? ' Knockout's forehead wrinkled . ' Don't you remember how we woke up this morning ? I'm sure . " " Right . " He stepped out of his shorts . I was definitely not going to think about the fact that he'd been free balling in the basketball shorts I was about to put on . He shifted forms , and his wolf let out a puff of air as he leaned his head toward me . He licked my face , and I patted his neck . He gave a happy whine , his nose bumping my neck before he tossed a bunch of my hair upward . I smacked him playfully on the neck . " Now's not the time , buddy ." His next whine was sad . 00:29 Rejected Luna : Trapped with the Rabid Alpha Dreame - Read Romance Stories 34.9 Chapter 30 "I know .

" I'm sorry for what happened to you . If it's any consolation , I'd be thrilled to find out you were my mate . Yours is crazy for rejecting you .
