All Chapters of Alpha's Rejection: My Mate Has A Son: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Samantha's POVI had to cook up a lie to tell Adrian the reason Alaric was in our room. I couldn't possibly tell him it was because I had fainted and had some vision. I didn't want to worry him. He was too young for all the drama happening in my life right now. While some were unavoidable for him to witness, I'd protect him from the ones I could. Today, Luna Tamia had asked for a favour from me and that was to have Adrian for the day which I couldn't object to so I let her have him.I had returned to my research like I hadn't fainted twice or had a surreal vision yesterday. Adam was quite respectful enough not to ask me anything. I could tell the question was heavy in his mouth, but he did his best to hold it back until he couldn't."Are you not going to talk about it?" He finally asked. I paused for a few seconds and turned to him. I also had my own questions that I needed him to answer; I was just waiting until after our research for the day."Are you not going to tell me why you d

Samantha's POV"You're not eating?" Alaric said while already taking a spoonful of his. He stopped and raised his gaze to me."I'm not hungry," I said, folding one hand below the table. Alaric dropped his spoon and relaxed back on his chair."I'm not leaving here until you eat that," He said, and I passed him a sharp look. I was in disbelief. "That's bullying, Alaric," I said, and he chuckled mockingly, then leaned towards the table with arms resting on it."Really?" He said, tilting his head nonchalantly. "I mean, you can try to leave." He had brought his voice low to speak, but the threat in his voice still remained. I looked away, boiling within. Weren't him and Lily just the same? Bullying because they were in a position of power. What a perfect match."The only reason I'm pinned down to this chair is because of Adrian. I don't need him being subdued by your aura all because you're pissed off at a lady!" I said, raising my voice.Alaric hissed and passed me a sharp look this time

Samantha's POVI arrived at Adam's house by seven at night with Adrian. We had dinner together, and I put Adrian to sleep in one of the rooms Adam had prepared for us. I would have lived with Adam had Ric not insisted I lived within the royal pack house. I bet I'd feel more at home, although I couldn't deny that it felt cool to have beautiful scenery and wonderful food service at the royal pack house, as well as other perks that came with staying there.Adam and I sat by the veranda on one of his old benches. I never lived with Adam in the past, but his place felt so homey as though I did. Also, Adam and I had gotten closer during my years at Arcana Hills, we were never this close until I left for the Academy. He always visited and spoke to me and Adrian often then he became the parent I never had, and I loved him for that.To think that he had no family of his own, no mate, as he claimed he had no mate. It was saddening because Adam was a wonderful man. I wondered why someone as prec

Samantha's POV"That's your job, Samantha." I gasped, totally in disbelief and ready to resist. No way was he putting me up to the task. Having to explain to Alaric or asking anything from him? That would bruise my ego."No, I can't. He won't want to do it because it's me," I said. He'd probably make me pay for my defiant attitude towards him. What if he made me beg for it?"You mean Alpha Ric wouldn't care to save his pack however he can just because of a beef with you?" Adam said, making my earlier remark sound ridiculous."Please...." I begged, holding Adam's hands, but he shook his head and pulled his hand away from me."No, Samantha. You need to learn to respect your Alpha, and this situation will humble you," He said firmly. "You're not here to have your revenge on Alpha Ric. You're here to fulfill a duty. Don't let your grudge come in between that." He said, moving closer to me.He placed both hands on my shoulder and locked my gaze in his. "You deserve better than holding on t

Samantha's POVI couldn't believe Ric had made me sign my signature just so I could be his number two on the journey to Nightveil. I swear I wasn't prepared mentally and most especially emotionally. How long would the journey be? It worried me, but I couldn't bring myself to ask Ric that question. I was scared of knowing.I already hated the way my heart reacted to him every time we were close, and now I was put in this situation with him. Adam made things worse by refusing to go in my stead when I pleaded with him. He said it was an Alpha's command and he couldn't interfere.I was disappointed, but I already ran out of time to convince anyone of anything. It was a day to our departure and I was on a video call with my friends Julian and Liv, talking about the journey tomorrow."What does Nightveil look like?" Liv had asked. I had told both her and Julian about everything that happened, including my visions. They expressed their worry, and Liv was more worried that I had to be togeth
