Semua Bab The Rejected Doctor: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Richard’s POV:After that long meeting I had with the Pack Elders, I was already feeling the most drained that I had ever been in my life. However, I had to straighten myself up and keep on going.Because I knew without a single doubt that Darren would be waiting for me in my study. He would report to me on the goings on of the pack while I was away, and any urgent mayters that he had to attend to in my absence.That was our usual routine after I got back from a mission, and now I was mentally prepared for wherever he had to say. After all, I had not only asked him to do a few specific things for me as well. Therefore I was definitely not surprised when I opened the door of my study and found my friend sitting in the couch to the side.“Hey, man,” he greeted me while standing up. “How did the meeting with the Elders go?”I let out a groan as I moved towards the bar where I had a half-finished bottle of whiskey. Pouring two fingers of whiskey for the two of us in two crystal shot glass

Convincing RichardRichard’s POV:I watched the face of my friend as I asked him that question, and Darren simply scoffed, shaking his head at me.“Don’t you realize this by now, Richard?” He sounded like I was the idiot right then. “Really, you cannot even see this right now?”I gave him a glare; he knew that I hated riddles and being kept in the dark very much.“Darren, if you’re going to tell me, then don’t try to act smart,” I gestures to my face. “As you can see, I’m not in the mood for that. If you have any ideas, on who my mate could be, let me know.”“It’s simple,” he replied while having his head with a laugh in his throat. “Don’t you see that the only woman who you have found yourself attracted to all this while is our very own resident pack doctor? Arielle Grey?”I froze as soon as he said her name; her? Really?“Don’t look like that, Richard. It’s the only possibility in my mind,” my best friend and Beta said to me. “If you don’t want to believe me, fine. But at least cons

Richard Fucks Up Richard’s POV: I was at a loss on what to do. She had just left the office like that, looking confused and in every way unable to talk. I had thought that she was simply going to shut the door when she brushed past me and said “Give me a moment”’ but it only turned out that she had the mind to run away. I had been knocking at her door for hours, and my hands were already tired.I had no idea what to do.all I could think of now was how badly I ducked up; I should not have gone to her that way. I should have found a way to make things easier. Her assistant had already been up to check if Arielle would answer the door to her, but it had been all to no avail.Luckily, there had not been any patients which required an emergency treatment, It it was still so disheartening and gut wrenching, just how much that Arielle was going to do to avoid me from now on. I stood at the hallway, facing her door still when I heard footsteps. I did not need to turn my bead as I alread

Richard’s POV:I have to say that I had never felt this restless before in my entire life. It felt almost as if he is missing a limb.Now I was back at home, with the need to shower and eat that brought me to return to my home. As I left my room, I found Darren in my study.I felt myself angry at him as I noticed he was whistling and looking around the study while oblivious to my burning rage.I was angry at everything, and at everyone at that moment.I had not only managed to push Arielle away even more and make her scared of me, I had also managed to fuck things up by hurting her in such a horrible way. Why would I not be angry at myself?I slammed the door of my study loudly to gain my Beta’s attention and be whipped his head to gaze at me, before he then said carefully, as he took in the expression on my face, “Hey Richard. Is everything okay?”I waved his question away, trying to hold myself back from snapping at him as I really wanted to. I moved towards my desk and was about to

Deflecting and FlusteredArielle’s POV: I could not speak; it was practically on the top of my tongue to say something, anything at this point. But at Richard’s words I was speechless. Angel.He had called me angel. My breaths quickened uncontrollably; I was unable to calm down. I could only reply his words in my head, especially the part when he called me... that.No one had ever called me angel before. My blue eyes met Richard’s enticing dark ones, and I found myself wondering how I had gotten here in the first place. How had I, who had decided to take the time to prepare myself for his inevitable rejection of me, gotten to this place?Why was I standing here in the hallway, with him pinning me ever so gently to the wall, and with nothing separating us but mere centimeters? Was his his intention? To confuse me?To destroy every inch of my sanity? If it was, then he was definitely successful at this. “So,” Richard he said, his voice still thatbrbling low baritone that sent tingl
