Lahat ng Kabanata ng Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate : Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 209

AMELIA’S P.O.VI regretted my words the moment I saw the three guards that Kaden had arranged for me.He had a smile of pride on his face once they arrived and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. They were quite possibly the biggest and scariest men I had ever seen in my life. One of them had tattoos all over his arm, the other had a mean resting face that could make a grown man piss his pants. The third didn’t look as scary as the others but his sheer size alone was enough to make a person pause.“These are your guards,” he gestured to the men in front of me. “They’ll take you to Clara’s house first and you can go wherever you want after.”I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him blankly. “Are you serious?”“You said as many as I want. I wanted to get you four guards but I figured it would be too much.”“And you don’t think three is a little over the top?”“It’s this or nothing, baby.”I let out an exasperated sigh before turning to the guards. “Fine.”Neither of them broke

AMELIA’S P.O.VClara didn’t say a single word regarding my conversation with Aaron. I could tell she was thinking about it though. She was many things but stupid was not one of it. She knew exactly what that conversation was about and I expected more questions from her but there was nothing.“Do you want to come in?” was the first thing she asked when we got to her house. “My grandparents are home but that’s about it. They’ve missed you. They might want to say hi.”I didn’t want to take the offer but I also realized how cruel it was that I hadn’t come to see them yet. They took me in when they didn’t have to and treated me like their own grandchild. Before I could talk myself out of it, I nodded and followed her up to the front door.My palms were clammy and it felt like my chest was closing in on me but I forced myself to walk into the house. It smelled the same and looked the same, nothing had changed since the last time I was inside. It almost felt like I had never left.“Clara are

KADEN’S P.O.VAs soon as Caleb drove off with Amelia, I felt someone slap me upside the head.There were only a handful of people who would dare to do that- my mother, Amelia and Pamela- I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.“You idiot,” Pamela hissed. “What were you thinking? She told you to stop multiple times and you kept going. Did you not hear when she said she would hate you?”I did hear her actually, I just convinced myself that she was upset and it would be fine after. I didn’t realize that she meant it or I would have stopped. It was a shitty excuse and I knew it made me a fucking terrible mate as well.“I know I messed up,” I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. “I’ll make it up to her.”Pamela scoffed. “You stupid child, this is more than just making it up to her. After everything she went through, you were meant to be her safe place and you hurt her. This isn’t just about you outing her in public, you betrayed her trust. She has no one right now.”“That’

AMELIA’S P.O.VHis words struck something inside of me. Over the next few days, all I could do was thinking about his words. He told me that he would find a witch if that was what I truly wanted, but I could tell his heart wasn’t into it, and I was glad for that because I also needed time to think.“I need to go to the office today,” Kaden began slowly as he stood in the doorway to the room.I hadn’t brought myself to ask him to return to bed and he didn’t push. Every night, he slept outside the door, never once complaining or making me feel like I was being a bother to him. I wanted him back with me, I wanted this whole thing over and done with but I couldn’t do that, not until I found a solution. I didn’t want the same problems plaguing us over and over again.“I’ll just stay here.”“Do you want me to send for Clara to join you? I can have-”“I just want to be here alone, I need to think.”He pursed his lips, clearly not pleased with my choice but nodded. I watched him stand in the

EPILOGUEAMELIA’S P.O.V“Baby,” Kaden whispered, his voice soft as his stubble grazed my cheek. He placed soft kisses over my face and shoulders trying to rouse me awake but I wouldn’t move.I mumbled a few incoherent words, nuzzling closer to him and the warmth that emanated from his body. He laughed, the sound husky and timber as his arms wrapped around me.“You need to get up,” he told me, his lips brushing over my shoulders. “You asked me to wake you.”“Give me five more minutes, please. I’m exhausted.”He sighed, not fighting me on it because he knew just how exhausted I was. After the incident with Blake, I was confined to the bed for the rest of my pregnancy. It was a miracle that I didn’t lose the baby, and an even bigger miracle when we found out that we were having twins.The pregnancy was rough and there was a problem at every turn. Our babies came a few weeks early and the labor was so bad that I swore I would never do it again. We’d been parents for two years and even th
