All Chapters of Alpha's Rejection: My Mate Has A Son: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Samantha's POVI felt my face soaked not just in sweat but my eyes filled with tears I had cried into reality. Alaric looked very worried and his grip was firm on me offering me the warmth of protection I needed right now. "It's okay, it's okay. It's just a bad dream, and I'm here." Alaric assured me, rubbing my shoulders soothingly.I felt safe in his arms so I let myself hold him, doubling the warmth I felt. I didn't know what it all meant, but I could confirm now that my care for Alaric was more than what I felt in my dream. I felt so relieved to see him alive, but I wouldn't admit what it was I was really feeling for him.Alaric had stood up after making sure I had come to a calm and made tea for me, and when he was done, he pulled the chair out for me, and I sat down while he sat opposite me. I began drinking the tea and unexpectedly felt calm from even just the smell.When I finally dropped the cup, I found Alaric still staring at me with worry and curiosity."Do you want to ta

Samantha's POVI woke up the next morning, feeling the exact way I felt the morning after Alaric and I consummated our mate bond. His scent enveloped the entire place, and I still felt his warmth, but then a cold air slapped against my body, and in a flash, I recalled the memory of rejection.My eyes opened sharply, and it took some seconds for me to register Alaric's scent again. I looked up to see him standing by the bathroom door, bare-chested, in shorts only. I trailed my gaze to meet his face that was glued on me, his wet hair cascading over his shoulder. I gasped at the sight of him and gulped down a mound of fluid.I shouldn't be doing this, but I found myself looking at his frame, the bulging muscles. Damn it. Alaric was huge, so handsome, he was so damn hot.Shit! I shut my eyes before opening them again. How could I think all those things of him? "He rejected us, remember that," I said, and felt a wave of anger, but it wasn't enough to stop my thumping heart."Good morning,"

Samantha's POV"This way, we will lead you to your chambers now." They almost left me behind as I hadn't followed them at once, but Alaric stepped back to grab my hand and pull me forward. His eyes—they were so enchanting. The pull I felt was just irresistible. I released my hand from him to keep that distance, and his eyes twitched, showing he had just realized how inappropriate that looked.I was made to understand that Elnora was the principal of the academy and she brought up conversations as we walked, but all I could think about was what had transpired between Ric and I since our journey. I intentionally walked a step back to watch Ric's back because I almost went breathless standing beside him."And these will be your rooms. Hers on the right and yours on the left.""Thank you, Elnora," Alaric said, and I thanked them as well. Elnora looked at Ric and me again, having that mix of confusion and suspicion she had earlier when we told her we weren't mates. If she thought we were m

Samantha's POV"Soulmates," a voice echoed in my head, and the chaos around me seemed to come to a calm. I looked at Alaric, wondering if he heard what the little girl said. We weren't packmates, nor were we in the same territory, so mindlink didn't work. How was I able to hear the girl's voice in my head? Ric looked as shocked as I did, as if Jada had spoken to us both."Get her out of here!" Elnora barked orders, then turned to Ric and me. "I am so sorry for what just happened," she apologized."Who is she?" Ric asked, looking very serious. I was about to ask the same question when Alaric chipped in instead."That's Jada... She's a siren," Elnora said. I was dumbfounded for a moment. So that was why her eyes were so alluring. I had never seen a siren in my entire life; I had only heard about them. It also made me think that those twins who sang earlier could be sirens as well with such otherworldly voices that hypnotized us. They were indeed rare and gifted. So that was what it fel

Alaric's POV I felt startled when Lily jumped into my arms and kissed me on the lips in front of Samantha and Adrian. It felt so wrong, and my entire body was repulsed by it. I didn't hug her back, nor did I kiss her back. All I could think of was Samantha and what she was thinking. I knew I was the one feeling this incredible desire for her, yet I wondered what she'd think of me, especially after our vulnerable moment during the trip to nightveil, when I had hugged her and cried on her shoulders that night at Lila and her grandmother's place. Lily went ahead and dragged me by the hand, leading me away from them, and I wished my mum wouldn't have such a proud smile on her face seeing us together. Sometimes I wondered if she ever felt any regret for what they did to Lily and me seven years ago. Did no one feel terrible that I was with a woman I had no feelings for? But since this was good for the pack, I guess no one gave a damn. I made this decision too, so I had to suffer the
