All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S PUBLIC REJECTION : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

DRAKE POVI could still hear the slam of the door long after Sharon had left with a scornful expression on her face, and her question still lingered in the air like poison.‘Why have you not told her it was me?’I had told her it was because Elara, even though she is spiteful, did not deserve the heartbreak of her friend’s betrayal, and Sharon had laughed.“Friend?” She had sneered. “What in the world gave you that idea? She is just a means to an end, a lonely princess for company. And to me, she is just the she-wolf trying to steal my man.”The audacity in her words had made me scoff. “What man?” I had growled, with my patience out the window. “Get out. Leave this office and do not set foot in here again. If you do, your father will be looking for a new job by morning.”And that finally wiped the smirk off her face. Now, that I am finally alone, I slumped into my chair as the encounter kept replaying over and over in my head. I was so deep in the miserable memory that I did not hear

ANDRE POVThe fresh morning air on the training grounds was filled with noises from the arrows been thrown and the satisfying thumb noises they make when they hit their marks. Lucas was at the archery line with a serous expression on his face as he shot without missing any of the targets, which was very impressive. It was a reminder of why he held his position.He strolled back over to where I was leaning against a post, with a cocky grin on his face as he collected the remaining arrows. “See that? Pure, unadulterated skill. I am, without a doubt, the most brilliant archer in all of Luxembourg. Perhaps all of Europe.”I smirked and shook my head. “And that, right there, is exactly why Drake put you in charge of the guards and the entire army. No one else has the aim, or the ego, for the job.”He pushed me sideways with his shoulder. “Speaking of aim, why did I miss my shot with that paper ball yesterday? I am still angry about it.”I laughed out genuinely. “If Drake heard you still wh

LILLIAN POVThe breakfast table was filled with a heavy silence as I pushed around a spoonful of pudding on my plate with no appetite. Only one question echoed consistently in my mind, and drowned out all other thought…Was it Sharon?Lydia called out in a loud voice, which shattered the silence finally. “So. Sharon.”Salome dropped her spoon with a cloud clatter on her plate and turned to look at us with confusion in her eyes. “It has to be. There is no other explanation. Do you really think a she wolf like Sharon, who had pursued Drake relentlessly for ten years, would give up and slink away? After all her fights in school and out? Never.”Lydia widened her eyes in shock. “You do not mean….you think she was behind the attacks on Lillian in school?”“Who else?” Salome retorted sharply. “The reason people attacked you so viciously, Lily, was not just because of the letter. It was because they were jealous. They all wished they had your fearless mind. They all wanted the same thing you

DRAKE POVI was occupied with a mountain of border security reports when a familiar, impatient knock sounded at my door.“Come in,” I grumbled without bothering to look up.The door swung open slowly and Lucas walked in lazily with a slight, teasing grin on his face.I glanced at him and groaned, then I dropped my pen. “By the Moon, Lucas. Please, spare me today. I am not in the mood for your type of chaos.”He stopped suddenly and wiped the grin off his face, replacing it with a mock shocked expression. “That is the exact same thing Andre said to me in his chambers just now. Word for word!”Then he dropped his eyes and looked so sad, that for a second, I almost believed him. “Is this really how my friends see me? As just….a joker! A nuisance?” He hung his his head low. “I think it is better if I should just…..stop.”I could not help but laugh. “Can you ever stop being yourself? Besides, you are the reason any of us are still sane. Andre and I would have run mad and burned this place

ANDRE POVThe words were out of my lips and out in the air between us on the balcony. Can I go back to to being the real Andre? Lillian was staring back at me, her eyes widened with shock and her lips still swollen from our kiss. She was trying to form a reply, I could see her mind working.But before any sound could leave her beautiful mouth, the balcony door opened suddenly.“Hey lovebirds!” Lucas announced cheerfully, “Lydia says the food is ready. Time to come inside for….” His words died in his mouth as he took in the scene. Lillian’s flushed face, my closeness to her, and the intimate space we occupied. And then, he grinned with a knowing look in his eyes. “Ah, I see.” He raised his hands in mock surrender. “Never mind. Take your time. I will just….tell Lydia you are not hungry.” Then he winked and slipped back inside, and then closed the door softly behind him.I chuckled as the tension between us broke, and took a step back from Lillian, thereby giving her space to breathe.
