REJECTED MATE TURNED ALPHA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

MAGNUS' POVI left the room devastated. A prophecy? I know there are priestesses and visions, but this is hard to hear. My child would be the ruin of all. What does that even mean?I contemplated calling the elders, but I stopped. Telling them could be disastrous. They would start planning ways to make Audrey give up her baby. I'm not going to have that happen.“You should check on Audrey. She was really upset when I bumped into her.“ Mane had told me that barely thirty minutes ago. I was counting down the time I could cuddle up and feel Audrey's stomach again when he entered.I had assumed it was her hormones. “Pregnancy?““That's what she told me, but I don't believe her.““Why?“ I had come to trust Mane's judgment, but I still had to ask.“It was more than hormones. She was genuinely upset. I could see the traces of the tears she wiped from her cheeks.““What? Was it Alexa? Goddess, help me; I'm going to deal with her if that's it.““I don't think so. I've seen Audrey put Alexa in

MAGNUS'S POV“You were right.“ He continued. “It was Alexa.“I was stunned for a few minutes. I mean, I expected it, but to actually confirm what I already suspected...“Hmm.““What is the next course of action? What are we going to do next?““We make her pay for it, of course.““I have a suggestion on how we can punish her in a way that would really hurt her. Not physically, though.“This should be good. “I'm listening.““By Pack Laws, what she did is punishable by death. She impersonated a priestess for malicious purposes. Now we know killing her would start a war, deservedly or not. Her brother won't let it go.““I know this.““What I suggest you do is get her to renounce her engagement to you in exchange.““That is a good idea, Mane. Thank you.“ I smiled in appreciation. Alexa just dug herself a hole. Fortunately, it was in my favor.“Thank you, Alpha.“ I clapped his back.“You have the evidence secured, right?““Yes, Alpha.““What are they?““With all due respect, you'll see for

ALEXA'S POV“Alexa, you have two options.“ He said.Options? I thought he was going to kill me, for sure. Wasn't this his chance to get rid of me completely?“Options?““Yes. You see, I could kill you or let you live. Killing you would certainly be easier, but I respect your brother too much. I won't repay his kindness by killing his sister.“Now that I know I wasn't going to be killed on account of my brother, “Are you sure it's not because you wouldn't dare go to war with him?“ I snipped.“I will advise you to choose your next words carefully.“ Mane warned.“You have two options. Die or renounce our engagement.““Wow. Magnus, was this your plan all along? Get me to renounce the engagement.““Aren't you shameless?“ Stella spoke up, shocking us all.“What?!““I mean, you're letting your mate go because of a mistress? You want to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime connection because of some b*tch?““Watch your tone so you don't get killed by mistake.“ Mane warned.“Mistress ? Is that wha

THIRTY SEVENAUDREY'S POV“Congratulations! You're going to have a baby boy.“Tears welled up in my eyes. I'm going to be a boy's mother. I'm going to have a baby boy for Magnus. I have never been this happy in a while. I turned to look at Magnus.“We're going to have a boy.““Yes, baby. He's going to be the most perfect pup ever. I hope he gets your red hair.“ I'm sure he'd shed a few tears if we weren't in public.“Me, too.““Thank you, doctor.““Anytime, Alpha.“He guided me out of the hospital. “Thank you, baby.“He hugged me. We stood like that for a few minutes. This was a new level of intimacy for us.“I love you.““I love you. With every cell in my body.“I smiled at that. He was such a softie deep down.“That reminds me. You never told me who was behind the whole prophecy fiasco.““Don't worry about it.““Who?“ Maybe he noticed I wasn't going to drop it. He sat me down on a log near the pack house.“Fine.“ He relented. “It was Alexa.““That bitch.“ He explained how it all wen

AUDREY'S POVI woke up very early the next morning to feed my growling belly. Magnus was wound around me like a snake. I smiled and tried, keyword being tried to wriggle out of his arms. In vain.“Baby, where are you going?“ He murmured in his sleep. He pulled me tighter to him, and I chuckled.“Gotta pee, babe.““Oh.“ He released himself and went right back to sleep.I tiptoed out of the room to get food. That was when the memories of yesterday rushed back to me. I was finally Luna.“Good morning, Luna.“ Two maids stopped and bowed as I passed.“Good morning.“ I responded shyly. I would have to get used to the bowing part.“Elsa.“ As usual, she was already in the kitchen, overseeing the maids.“Luna Audrey.“ She bowed too.“Come on, Elsa.“ I waved her off, but she refused to stand.“Rise.“ I sighed, and she stood up. All the other maids, too, followed suit.“Congratulations on your coronation, Luna.““Thank you, Elsa. I'm starving, please.““Pancakes or waffles?““Waffles, please, an
