บททั้งหมดของ Rejected By The Beta, Accepted By The Alpha: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

~Xander~ I walked around the hall, listening to the elders’ opinions concerning the Pack and the war. I was in the throne room with them, but my mind and soul were with Elena. I tried too hard to focus and stop thinking about her, but I couldn’t, no matter how hard I tried. I wonder what she has done to me. I am no longer myself; I am no longer the ruthless, feared Alpha everyone knows. I have become weak, and I know people are beginning to suspect it, too. This will turn out bad if my enemies should get to hear of my recent behavior, but what can I do? I can’t stop myself from listening to her voice no matter how disrespectful it seems. “Alpha, can you hear me?” one of the elder's voice drifted into my ear, and I snapped myself back to the meeting. “Huh?” I mumbled and they exchanged shocked glances. “Go on, I’m all ears,” I said and they continued with whatever they were rambling about. I felt a strange force coming in through the window. I looked at the window and

~Xander~ I sat quietly in Elena’s dimly lit room with Elena’s pale hand clasped in mine. My eyes were fixed worriedly on her face as I waited for her to wake up. I have been waiting here for a long time, yet she hasn’t moved a limb or shown any sign of getting up. Lavender assured me earlier that she was out of danger, but I can’t seem to believe her words. “Elena, why didn’t you tell me about the pregnancy, why?” I muttered and sighed loudly. I will destroy everyone who has a hand in the termination of my child, I will find whoever poisoned that wine and I will make that person pay dearly. After Lavender announced that she was pregnant and the pregnancy was gone, I felt like something had been destroyed in me. I hated myself for treating her unfairly for a little mistake that she made. Elena was kind and pure, unlike me. She saves lives, something that I have never done. Everything was my fault. I killed my heir with my own hands. My fist clenched as these thoughts

~Xander~ I stared down at the paper before me, wondering what was stopping me from performing my duties for the past few days. “Have Elena ever asked about me?” I asked and Philip shook his head to my disappointment. I sighed loudly and dropped the pen in my hand. “Aurora will be executed tomorrow; send words out to the entire Pack,” I said, and Philip nodded. “Have you heard words about Nathan?” I asked, expecting to hear the news that he was dead but Philip didn’t tell me anything joyful like that. I groaned and threw down my pen, sighing loudly. “You may leave,” I instructed and he bowed before leaving. I got up from the chair I was sitting on and walked over to the window, staring down at the trainees. Something felt strange about the day. I perceived a familiar scent that I couldn’t seem to place. Where have I perceived this scent from? Why does it scream terror and danger? My beast and wolf growled at the same time, warning me of the incoming danger. My

~Elena~I froze in his arms, his last words tingling in my head like an alarm. I slowly raised my head from his chest and stared into his eyes, which were filled with remorse. “Are you going to tell me everything?” I asked, my heart thumping loudly in my chest as I anticipated his answer. “Yes, I will. I won’t hide anything from you anymore,” he nodded and a gasp of disbelief escaped my lips. Xander drew his face closer, his eyes piercing into mine. “Will you forgive me if I do this? Will you stop tormenting me with your silence?” he muttered, and my throat knotted in guilt. “Yes, I will, Xander. I will be the best Luna you have ever had.” His face softened as relief darted across his eyes. He led me to the bed and made me sit beside him, his eyes never left my face. “Forgive me that I never told you anything about me,” he began, coughing nervously. He remained silent for what seemed like an eternity as he battled with his conscience about whether he sh

~Xander~ Elena’s soft body against mine wouldn’t stop messing with my mind. I squeezed her waist with my hand, holding the reins with the other hand. “Will you teach me how to defend myself against enemies?” She asked and my brows snapped up in surprise. “What?” “I want to learn how to shoot arrows, wield swords, and ride horses,” she blabbered and my grip tightened as my eyes darkened. Why would she want to learn how to fight? What if she gets into trouble? I shook my head, disagreeing with her request silently. I want my Luna to remain the weak Omega girl that kept me captive since the day I met her at the blueberry bush. I want to be the only one that she can intimidate. “That hurts!” Elena’s shriek snapped me back to reality. I apologized and let go of her waist. She sighed and cranked her head to look at me. “What’s wrong?” she whispered. “No, I won’t let you risk your life because of that,” I said in a hoarse voice. She flinched from the indi
