Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Aidan's Rejection: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

TARABy the time I got to our house at the edge of the pack, my parents were in the living room of the small apartment, so I ran up to my room, so they wouldn’t question me or see my puffed face.Kayla arrived barely ten minutes after I did, and I was temporarily relieved.“I’m pregnant,” I confessed, picking my cuticles as I paced the length of my small room with her sitting on the bed.Kayla blinked in rapid succession. “Wh-what?”“I am…”Kayla’s words could pass for a scream. “You’re. Fucking. Pregnant!?” My heart skipped, and my eyebrows jumped as I flew to the bed to seal my hand over her mouth.“Shhh! My parents could hear.”Even if my parents were omegas too, they might still hear without the heightened senses.“I’m sorry,” she said, tears brimming in her eyes as she understood the gravity of the situation.“It’s Aidan’s, and he doesn’t believe me. I’m finished.” Fresh tears leaked from my eyes, and Kayla wrapped her hands around me.“What can I do?” She asked after I pulled a

TARAMy eyes fluttered open, and a blinding light pierced through, causing me to shut them back with a wince. I tried to remember where I was.“Try not to move,” a soft voice said from beside me. I whipped my head to the side and a warm-looking woman in her forties was smiling down at me. A doctor. Where was I? What was…Aidan. Kayla. My wolf. My baby.I gasped as images from my encounter with Kayla rushed to the front of my mind, and I scrambled back in fear.As if I was on cue, pain shot through my entire body, making me cry out.“Calm down, miss. You’re still in critical condition.”“My baby,” I gasped, tears rapidly brimming in my eyes.“Is a fighter. Your baby survived. And so did you.”The tears broke free, and I fell back on the bed, gratitude swelling my chest as I cried and thanked the Moon Goddess. I thought I lost my child. How did I think for a second that I could have gone through with terminating it?I looked around the room, and I didn’t expect to see my family or an

AIDANComing to Vermont Pack against my will, I had expected bloodshed to follow. This pack was an enemy of mine. Cohabiting was never an option, but I’d been receiving threatening notes for the past week, and this pack held the key to uncovering what it was all about, so I was here.I couldn’t wait to find out and maim whoever was toying with me, and all that seemed appealing until I set my eyes on her. On them.At first, I thought the resemblance to the little girl was nothing more than a coincidence, but then she told me her name, and she wouldn’t stop talking about her mother who sounded like the woman who still held the key to my heart after all these years.Pieces started forming in my head, but I pushed them to the side because it was impossible that after all this time, Tara was still alive and here. Those were my thoughts, but I also couldn’t ignore the familiarity I felt with this place, and the intense need to protect the little child. Call it intuition, but it felt like

TARAWith my newly made resolution about my standing with Aidan, I found it easier to get out of my house to my diner the next day for opening. It was the first day of the week-long Multipack Moon Meet, and Vermont pack was filled to its brim.I hoped that the crowds and business of the day would occupy my mind enough to not let it wander in the direction of a certain hot six-foot-four alpha, and luckily for me, it did.“Nadia would be occupied till three PM, so that should give us enough time to sell most of these out,” I said to Jenna, grinning proudly from ear to ear. We were halfway there already.As the guests settled in and took in the ceremonial decorations surrounding the pack, it led them straight to my diner just around the corner, as I had planned. The traffic was enough to get me, Jenna, and my single employee busy as bees from the whole of the morning till afternoon.The tables inside were occupied by guests and a few pack members that I could recognize, and so were the f

AIDANI knew without a doubt that Tara didn’t want me around her diner, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave.There were a million unanswered questions and an even greater number of impossible things that surrounded the events between us. There were explanations that I just couldn’t wrap my head around, but I still couldn’t dare leave her side. Not when I was hung up on her scent like an addict.I lingered around the premises of diner for goddess knows how long, making sure she didn’t see me of course, watching her attend to her customers with a glint in her mesmerizing eyes. I watched her laugh freely with the people around her, and all I could feel was the hurt from eight years ago.The hurt I felt when we parted ways. The betrayal I felt from seeing pictures of Tara hugging and kissing another man who wasn’t me.She denied it all, and she said she was having our child, and I didn’t believe her. Now, eight years later, all it took was one look at Nadia to know that she was my flesh
