All Chapters of Fated To The Second Alpha Heir : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

SCARLETT The whole room was looking at me. They were waiting for my explanation. Patiently waiting for me to talk. It was later that night. The doctor had come to check on me again and had advised to not let me sit on hard surfaces until my spine was completely healed as, right now, it was quite fragile from the harsh kick I’d received. I was given drugs to take to help with the healing process. Currently, I was no longer in that room — and I was right about its size and luxury. I was wrapped and surrounded by many pillows so soft I could hardly feel the sting of sitting. Dinner had been lively and welcoming. Not like the awkward one I shared with Ben, that sometimes turned out bad for me. My gaze swept the room, everyone was present, including Baron. But he wasn’t talking to me, obviously he was mad at me about something and I didn’t know what.I heaved a sigh and averted my gaze, calming the pressure within my chest.“Ben was married to my mother when I was eleven.” I began.

BENThat stupid bastard! He was going to pay for what he had put me through. All of them, every one of the Salvatores would regret crossing paths with me. Only I knew this was a job I wouldn’t be able to finish myself. I needed help.The only way to deal with an Alpha was to involve another Alpha. So I returned to my old pack — Moon Rock. The one I’d grown up in and met Elizabeth. Elizabeth was my mate, nothing would change that. It didn’t matter that I left her. It didn’t matter that another man had taken over.She was my woman. I’d taken her virginity, mated with her. She shouldn’t have even entangled herself with another man, that was disrespectful to me.She should have stayed and waited. When all of this was over, I’d teach her a lesson. Not to forget the humiliation she’d given me when I went to go plead with her. Simply because she was a Luna now. Because she had all those bodyguards at her beck and call.She was mistaken. Alpha David wasn’t her mate. I was! If she was

SCARLETT “What the fuck did I do? Why the hell are you even crying? I didn’t touch you.” Through the tears, there bloomed anger. In a blind moment of anger, I reached out and struck a hand against his face hard. “Fuck you, asshole! I wish the Moon Goddess never paired me with you.” I spat in his face.Then proceeded to climb down the bed to leave. He quickly got out of the bed. Upon reaching the door before me, locked it and stood between me and the door. “Get out of my way.” Both hands fisted by my side. I knew I was no match for him when it came to strength and agility, but I was willing to try. This asshole called my mate was just what I’d labeled him to be — an asshole.Asking about my health like he cared. How are you?, he’d said. The fool! “No. Not until you tell me why you think you are so right in all of this and I am the villain.” His eyes spoke dangerously of anger, frustration darkening his orbs. “Because how I remember all of this is you rejecting me in front of the

SCARLETT “What was that about?” I inquired, buckling myself in. The election gate opened, he wheeled us out of there. “Nothing. Just appreciating the new mother in my life.” I gave him a suspicious look, but it would seem he wouldn’t tell me, no matter how many times I would ask or how far I’d push him for answers, so I left it be, focusing on our outing. “So where are we going?” “Like I said, to have fun.” “Don’t you think we should have informed the others? I mean, they might be wondering the kind of discussion we’re having that’s taking so long.” I rolled the tinted window glass down some to enjoy the fresh afternoon breeze caressing my face. The blur of buildings and lush canopies made whatever complaint I had about this outing before disappear. “One, it’s our conversation. We can talk for as long as we want to, it’s no one’s business. Two, I’m sure mom will tell them she saw us. She never misses an opportunity to break such news.” “Why am I not surprised.” I said

The same sales attendant whose name tag I finally took notice of read Heather was a big help, and even more so when she realized what a big catch Baron was. I could literally picture her already counting the huge tip she’d received from Baron, and she deserved it because she was so nice and knew much about fashion.I didn’t know much about clothes because I’d never gotten to wear what I wanted, just whatever Ben made available for me. So Baron and Heather picked out most of the clothes. By the time we were done, Baron was hefting mountain of clothes and Heather was almost buried in them, same as me. We had emptied some of the racks here. And these were just for the clothes section. “Time to shop for shoes, bags and others.” He dumped the clothes on the counter.Other shoppers looked on at us in various emotions.Jealousy, surprise, envy, puzzlement. Only a handful of few were excited for me, staring at me as if I’d hit the jackpot with him. And given he was a Salvatore and popula
