Lahat ng Kabanata ng Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate : Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

KADEN’S P.O.VAgainst my better judgment, I found myself getting ready to meet Brittany tomorrow. I knew it was an incredibly stupid and rash decision- Caleb told me as much as well- but it wasn’t much of a choice. I needed a man inside the pack and she was the only one I could get my hands on. I didn’t trust her- it was becoming too much of a pattern to be around people that I didn’t trust- but I could tolerate her until I found Amelia.I followed her instructions to the letter and it wasn’t long before I found myself inside the goddess’ temple. I found some spare priest clothes at the back and quickly changed to finalize the plan. It didn’t take long before four rolled around and I saw her walk in. She had three guards behind her and I watched as she stopped in front of a marble statue.“Are you going to follow me around the entire time?” she spat in their direction. “Can’t a girl just pray on her own?”“We were instructed not to leave you alone. The Alpha doesn’t trust that you won

AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake came in the next morning whistling and skipping the entire way in. I knew without a doubt that whatever news he had to share could not be good. He left two days ago, it was the longest he had left me so far and he once again had Jamal stay with me. I couldn’t wait for the time the time he would leave me on my own.Jamal mostly stayed out of my way but it was clear that he didn’t trust me. I was shocked that he hadn’t told Blake yet, it was clear there was some form of tension between the both of them and I wanted to find out what it was about, maybe I could use it to my advantage.“You look happy,” I began slowly as he made his way into the kitchen with a paper bag filled with groceries. “Do you need help putting those away?”“No, you just sit pretty while I make us lunch,” he was grinning from ear to ear. “You can leave, Jamal.”Jamal leaned against the wall with a raised brow. “Don’t I deserve dinner and good news?”His tone was teasing but Blake either didn’t k

KADEN’S P.O.VMy entire side was throbbing with pain and I found that I couldn’t move my left arm so easily. I tried but it felt like it was being weighed down by a million tons. The smell alone led me to know that I was in a hospital and I wasn’t so out of it that I didn’t remember what happened that led me here. I was attacked by rogues.I managed to pull my eyes open only to find Caleb by my bedside. He wasn’t looking at me, his attention was fixed on some papers beside me but it was obvious that he hadn’t slept. I cleared my throat and his eyes lifted. There was shock in them, but that shock quickly gave way to annoyance.“I told you that it was a fucking stupid idea,” he snapped. “What were you thinking? You could have gotten killed.”“I didn’t get hurt in Blake’s pack. This had nothing to do with my plan. Besides, I found something that can help me find Amelia.”That only seemed to piss him off even more. “Finding her will be useless if you are dead!” he screamed. “For fucks sak

KADEN’S P.O.VThe scolding from Caleb was exactly what I needed to get off my ass and start focusing on the right things.The flower I had gotten from Brittany was dead by the time I got back to it but I was able to describe it enough for a simple internet search and luckily, we were able to found it. It did little to help us find Amelia considering the fact that it grew in a large variety of areas but when we added Brittany’s clue about mud, it narrowed it down to three main areas.It wasn’t a lot but it was something. It was closer than we had been in a long time. Now the fact remained- how were we going to find her? I had an idea but Caleb was not the biggest fan of it. He didn’t like a lot of my ideas to be honest but even he knew that it was the only one we had.“Why can’t I stay with you?” he asked. “We can send someone else to-”“You’re the only one I trust,” I cut him off. “There are two other forests to check but this is the closest to Blake’s pack, he should be keeping her h

BLAKE’S P.O.VMy head was pounding in my skull. It almost felt like someone was using my head to do construction work. I tried to open my eyes but couldn’t, merely doing that was too much for me. I had never felt so weak or worn out in my life.I could feel the cold ground under me and I tried to figure out what I was doing on the ground when the memories slammed into me like a freight train. I cursed and rushed to my feet, ignoring the pounding in my skull and the ache in my body.The room looked the same as it did before I passed out but the only difference was Amelia’s stale scent. I cursed under my breath and looked through my pocket for my phone only to find it missing. A growl nearly ripped from my throat. She had played me.I was doing everything for her- for us- and this was how she betrayed me. There must have been something in the wine. She planned this in advance and she fucking left. If I had the energy, I would have ripped the entire room apart but I didn’t have the time
