The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 171: Acting Normal
(Theo POV)I did not sleep.I lay on the bed in the back room in the dark with the work jacket folded on the chair in the corner and the sounds of Curtis's house settling around me, the creak of the old boards and the wind through the gap under the back door and the distant sound of Jake moving around in the kitchen before he went to wherever he slept, and I lay on top of the covers with my boots still on and looked at the ceiling and waited for the night to end.At some point I must have gone under because when I opened my eyes the light coming under the back room door was different, the grey-blue of early morning rather than the amber of the kitchen lamp, and I sat up and my neck was stiff on the left side and my mouth was dry and I sat on the edge of the bed in the grey light and put my hands on my knees and looked at the floor.
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 170: A Restless Night
(Theo POV)I had stopped at the house first, the one I was still technically living in, unlocked the front door and gone through to the back room and taken the jacket off and looked at it and then folded it with the lapel facing inward so the stain was not visible and put it on the shelf at the top of the wardrobe behind the spare blanket. Then I put on the other jacket, the one I used for boundary work, heavier and older and not the jacket you wore when you were going somewhere that required it, and I went back out and locked the door and walked to Curtis's.The house was lit when I got there. I could see it from the end of the lane, the kitchen window warm and yellow in the dark, and I could hear voices when I was still ten meters away .I came through the door and Curtis looked up from the table and Jake looked up from the counter and Pete was on the bench with his boots off."Back," Curtis said."Back," I said.I hung the work jacket on the hook and went to the stove and put my ha
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 169: After
(Kai POV)The room was quiet for a long time after the door closed.I sat in the chair with my hand over Lena's and she lay flat on the bed looking at the ceiling and the lamp held its amber circle and outside the window the north garden was dark and neither of us moved and neither of us spoke and the room held us both in it and the silence was the kind that did not need filling.Then she made a sound.It was small, the first one, barely audible, the sound of something being held back that had run out of room to be held, and her face changed, not dramatically, not all at once, but the jaw that had been set released and the eyes that had been on the ceiling closed and the breath that had been careful around the ribs came out in a way that was not about the ribs at all, and then she was crying.Not quietly. Not the contained kind. She put her right hand over her face, the hand that had been under mine, and she turned her head to the
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 168: The Loss
(Kai POV)Adler held the chart.He looked at it once more and then he set it on the side table with a care that had nothing to do with the chart and everything to do with his hands needing a moment, and then he looked at me and he said, "The follow-up assessment I conducted an hour ago found that the pregnancy is no longer viable."He said it plainly. No preamble, no softening architecture around it, just the words in the order they needed to be in, and I stood near the window and I heard them and I did not move."The heartbeat has stopped," he said. "I conducted the assessment twice before coming to this room. The result was the same both times." He kept his eyes on my face. "The trauma of the fall was significant enough to cause a disruption that the pregnancy could not sustain. This is not uncommon in cases involving this level of physical impact. It is not a reflection of anything Miss Graves did or did not do."I looked at the
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 167: The Doctor Arrives
(Kai POV)Diane came within ten minutes of being called.I heard her in the corridor before the door opened, her footsteps and the footsteps of someone else with her, and when the door opened it was Diane and a man I recognized as Dr. Adler, the compound's senior physician, who had not been in the room when they brought Lena in that afternoon.I stood up from the chair.Adler was a man in his late fifties with grey at his temples and the unhurried quality of someone who had been in rooms like this enough times that the room itself did not affect his pace. He came through the door and he looked at Lena first, the professional survey, taking in the bandage and the dressing and the position she was in, and then he looked at me.The second look held something the first one did not.I had seen that look before. The last time I had seen it I had been seventeen and standing in a different corridor in a different wing of this compou
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 166: Lena Wakes Up
(Kai POV)I had been watching the window when it happened.The north garden had gone fully dark hours ago and the lamp on the wall was still at its lowest setting and the cup Diane had left on the side table was cold and untouched and I had been sitting in the chair with my hand over Lena's and my eyes on the window because looking at her face for too many consecutive hours without movement produced a particular kind of strain that looking at the window periodically relieved without requiring me to leave the room.I was looking at the window when her fingers moved.Not dramatically, not a sudden grip or a reaching out, just the slight curl of the fingers under my palm, the small adjustment of a hand that had been still for hours and was beginning to remember that it belonged to someone. I looked down at her hand and then at her face.Her eyelids were moving.Her eyes opened.Not fully, not with clarity, just a narrow
