Kael’s POV

“You look like shit,” Ethan said as he stepped into my study.

It was late at night, and I still couldn’t get some sleep. I couldn’t keep my mind off Asher and Aurelia. They were right there waiting for me to take them back. Or at least that was what I thought. Aurelia wouldn’t forgive me easily for what I’d done. I didn’t expect her to. It had been a mistake. A mistake that I couldn’t take back.

Throughout dinner, I was lost in my thoughts and even after that as I put Eliana to sleep, she could tell that something was bugging me. I didn’t expect seeing Aurelia once again to hurt this much. But it did.

I sighed as Ethan walked towards my desk. I was seated with a bottle of bourbon before me. Ethan had a smirk on and I couldn’t tell if he was mocking me.

“Why would you call me so late to your study?” He asked, taking a seat before the desk.

I didn’t answer him. Instead, I reached into one of the drawers and pulled out another glass for him. Ethan seemed appreciative as

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   176. A Requiem for Joachim.

    Aurelia’s POVSuzy’s face was etched with shock as I concluded the story. I didn't expect any other expression from her. This was bound to happen. This was why I never told anybody about the real story of Joachim’s death because it sounded foolish. I could have helped him if he wanted. I could have healed him if he had wanted. But he had chosen to go, like he had a suicidal wish or something.Suzy shook her head in disbelief as she held her cup of coffee, which seemed to have gotten cold. It was harsh for her to find out that her father hadn't died the hero’s death that they all thought he had. But he was still brave for what he had done.But for me, the only thing I felt was guilt. If I had followed his prior instruction, he wouldn't have died. Joachim would have still been alive. And for the next three years, we didn't have a single rogue attack until a few months ago. An attack that had barely lasted an hour. “I'm sorry, Suzy,” I said, finally finding my voice. “If I had listened

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   175. Joachim’s Death.

    Aurelia’s POV Present day. I handed Suzy a cup of coffee and sat down on the couch with a sigh. Suzy started at the coffee, her red hair gleaming in the fluorescent lights above, and her eyes slowly darting to me. I could tell that she was dissatisfied that I was stalling her, but this was for the best. The flashbacks kept coming, and I wondered how much longer I would be able to hold them down. Those were memories I thought would be buried forever, but now they were back, and they were throwing tantrums in my head. “Are you going to tell me what's going on now, or are you just going to keep on stalling?” She demanded. I sighed as I eased further into the couch, the seat creaking underneath my weight. She had found out. I didn't expect any less from Jachim’s daughter. Though she wasn't Alpha, her aura was almost as intense as her father’s was, and I wondered if she would have been Alpha if I hadn't returned. “There’s been a rumor that’s been spreading about the death of your fathe

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   173. Frienemies.

    Rune’s POVThe evening breeze brushed my cheeks and tickled my hair as I stared at the lake before me. The sun was setting, and the sky was painted in a pink hue, making the evening even more spectacular. Behind me, I could hear the sound of steps approaching me, and I knew who it was without turning around. It was no other person than Kael.“I see you have come to a decision,” I said without turning to face him.I heard him sigh behind me. He walked up to my side. He shoved his hands in his pockets and stared at the sunset with me. Through my peripheral vision, I could see him dressed in a suit, with a white inner shirt, which was no doubt his trademark dress code.I never thought that I would see Kael like this. I couldn't forget what he did to me during the Asher saga, but he looked completely different. Having two kids who didn't really feel like yours was a terrible thing. His own son, Asher, didn't want to see him, and he had just found out that his daughter, whom he had harbore

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   174. Power Unleashed.

    Aurelia’s POVFour years ago.“That's it, Aurelia,” Joachim commended as he urged me forward. “But you have to put your back into it.”I sighed as I shook my head. I couldn't tell if he was really commending me or if he was just straight out mocking me. He had been handing my ass out to me for over an hour, and it was getting frustrating. I wanted to quit, but he wouldn't let me go easily. Maybe it was my fault for coming to him for help. His aura had persuaded me to him, but as I thought of it now, maybe it had been a trap, and I had fallen for it impeccably.“Are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to come at me?’ Joachim pushed, his fists clenched as he poised into a fight pose.My wolf stirred inside me in rage, and I clenched my jaws as I made my way towards him. I swung a fist at him, but he held it simply and landed a blow on my abdomen. The air knocked out of my lungs, and I took a step backwards in n attempt to catch my breath, but that turned out to be costly.

  • Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta   172. Her Unsung Hero.

    Aurelia’s POVPresent day.“Are you okay?” I heard Rune’s voice call from behind me.He had snapped me out of my thoughts, nd I found myself staring at my window. It was a bit difficult to grasp what reality felt like after that flashback. I was still lost, trying my best to understand how it had all gone wrong five years later. It didn't make any sense to me. The only thing that made sense was Joachim taking me in nd teaching me everything I know today. He had also made me his beta. An appointment that left me shocked when it first happened. He had trusted me that much, and now the pack thought I had betrayed that trust. It hurt more than the accusation itself.“Let's take a walk,” he suggested. I stared outside, and the morning sun mixed with the songs from the birds gave a relaxing feeling, but I knew the damage that awaited me outside. But then, he reached out his hand to me and smiled.“Come on,” he urged.I sighed and grabbed his hand. “Fine.”The riot had caused more damage
