All Chapters of Alpha's Rejection: My Mate Has A Son: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Samantha's POV The weight of the mission ahead was crushing. We had to put up a pretentious act in Adrian's presence. Alaric had decided on a surprise attack against Erin and his allies. It didn't settle well with me, but with what happened with Alpha Kael, it was obvious we couldn't afford to waste any more time. We had reached out to Grandma Iris as well, asking for Zoe. We needed her here, otherwise trapping Erin in his invisible form would be useless. She was the only one who could suck the magic out of him. "He isn't sleeping yet?" Alaric spoke behind us. I tilted to catch his figure by the door, leaning against it. I smiled at him, beckoning him to come closer. "Daddy...." Adrian muttered, the spark in his eyes dim. Alaric pushed himself off the door frame, taking slow but echoing strides towards the bed. A soothing chill ran down my already tensed shoulders as Alaric's hands came in contact with them. Then he leaned down and his lips slowly pressed over my forehead, kissing

Alaric's POV Before deciding on a surprise attack, I'd weighed every alternative. But like Samantha said, they were already ahead of us, and the longer we waited, the less advantage we had.Our target tonight was Erin's estate. I'd pulled the building plan he'd submitted years ago for an extension to the Pack's building committee from the pack's records, as required by law. I believed it was during that period he extended his estate that he'd carved out a secret tunnel for his bigger plans. Nothing in the paperwork would ever show it, but it told me he'd been planning something for a while.I'd asked Samantha for any detail she could grab from her memory of that night she fought Erin at the woods, anything that might point to a location. She remembered it felt damp, water dripping somewhere near the entrance. My suspicion landed on the water station beyond the tree line, the one supplying the entire estate, though I could only confirm that once I breached the place myself.The Silv

Alaric's POV"Erin..." I whispered, staggering through the pain to face him. I tried to ignore the bodies of my fallen men even as my blood boiled with rage."I ask again, how did you find out?" he growled."Why did you do it?" I asked, buying seconds while dipping my head slightly to reach Kayson through the link so that Erin didn't notice. I startled suddenly as racing footsteps echoed from the tunnel. Guttural, animalistic noises grew louder and then strange figures began to appear.My entire body went still at the sight of the beings coming from the distance.Rogues.In a matter of seconds, I was surrounded by mindless, angry rogues. I scrambled backward, my back pinning against the wall.A gasp left my throat as I finally made sense of the reason those rogues kept slipping past us in every battle, why we'd been unable to track down where they originated from. It was because they'd been inside this pack all along. Erin had an army underground this entire time.My mind flashed back

Erin reverted to his human form with a speed that defied the eyes of the guards stationed outside Lily's chambers. He burst through the door where his daughter was held, finding her alone with link cuffs around her wrists that had prevented her from being able to mind-link anyone, to ask for help or know the reason she had been placed under house arrest.Lily had suspected that the reason Alaric had cuffed her with Wolfsbane and confined her to her quarters was because he was finally making a move to seize control of the pack.But that wasn't the worst part of her night. Lily was breaking apart from the fresh agony of the mate bond, the crushing pain of Finn's latest infidelity."Dad?" Lily gasped the moment she saw her father. Erin didn't say anything. In a split second he was in front of her, startling her. Her heart began to pound in fear at the thoughts running through her mind. "H-how are you so fast?" she stammered as he stepped in front of her, blocking her gaze from darting

Finn traced Lily's scent to the escape tunnel meant for only the royal family, a secret Lily had undoubtedly shared with her father after their marriage. That was exactly where Erin had taken her.Erin had chosen that route knowing his own tunnel was no longer an option, which was why he had let the rogues fight to buy him time to escape. He had been caught off guard by Alaric's ambush. He needed to save himself first, then return to take over the pack for good.Finn followed her scent into the underground darkness, his heart racing with a mixture of confusion and terror. Had she known about an attack on the pack and decided to flee without him? The thought that she might abandon him stung more than he cared to admit. As her scent grew overpowering, he spotted her curled on the stone floor, sobbing."Lily!" he cried, rushing toward her. In that moment, all the hate and pain he had harbored vanished, replaced by a desperate need to keep her safe. His wolf howled in relief. "Are you hu
