Semua Bab Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Aurelia’s POV No. I shouldn’t be thinking about this. It was obviously a lie. Kael knew how gullible I would be for answers and he’d used that against me to have me together with him. I couldn’t believe how stupid I was. But here I was at the same time thinking about what he’d said. The truth about Rune was so mysterious that I didn’t know what to believe anymore. I’d promised him that I would let him tell me on his own accord when he was ready. But we were running out of time. His regret was creating a rift between us but he didn’t seem to care. What could be worse than what he’d told me in Silicon Valley? The truth about the council and the spy that they had watching over me was already too much for me. I couldn’t trust anybody around Asher anymore. I was the one feeding him and putting him to sleep. There was no way I would let a maid near him right now. But my paranoia was not helping matters at all. Rune had been controlled by the council back then which had led him to

Aurelia’s POV My eyes fluttered open to the sound of voices surrounding me and I found Rune staring down at me with a stern look. His brows were narrowed and his icy blue eyes were so cold that he made my skin crawl. But just then, he flashed me a smile that evaded every bit of anxiety I’d felt. “She’s awake,” he announced to the people in the room. The next face I saw was Asher’s. He had a warm smile as he touched my cheeks, his green eyes reminding me of what life had to offer. “Mommy. Thank the stars. I grew worried,” he said softly with the smile still on his face. My heart lurched at the thought of leaving Asher alone even for a second. It made me sad. “I’m sorry. I just woke this morning with a headache and I didn’t know it would become that severe,” I said, trying my best to sit up but my whole body ached as I tried. I looked up at Rune who was silent. He had his arms folded and his shirt was different from when I last saw him. He was wearing a black shirt wi

Aurelia’s POV The next day was the festival, and it kicked off with the sound of music that filled the whole pack. I could hear it right from first light—the joy from the pack was enough for me to get on my feet. It was great that everyone was enjoying the Blood Moon Festival. And it seemed this year would be better than the last two years. Maybe it was because Rune had played a big role in making it happen. He was always there. Always making things happen. That was what I liked about him. But lately, things between us have been becoming more and more toxic. It made me wonder if we were ever going to get past this stage. I couldn’t. Because I couldn’t let go of the fact that he was still hiding a lot of things from me. Or maybe I was just being a jerk about it. No. I wasn’t going to overlook it again. I wasn’t going to make excuses for him again. When he was ready to talk to me about what he was hiding, I would welcome him with open arms. But until then, this was the way that thin

Aurelia’s POV The festival got more tense as the sun went down. The music got louder and the whole pack gathered at the square. The game from the hunt was being roasted in the middle of the crowd with the fire sizzling meat and the aroma filling the air together with the spices and liquor. It stung my lungs in a good way making me relax in a way I hadn’t in months. I couldn’t find Rune anywhere. Maybe it was because he was avoiding me. I wasn’t supposed to care about that. And here I was thinking about him even though I should be mad. He always had a way of making an impression on me even without saying anything. That was the kind of man he was. And I wasn’t sure I wanted much of that anymore. I just wanted peace and I wasn’t sure Kael or Rune would give me that. The crowd got louder and the music filled the air prompting me to take a sip of the concoction that the maids had cooked up. It was so strong and I coughed as its metallic taste stung my tongue and throat. Whatever the

Aurelia’s POV “What are you doing here?” I asked with my arms folded. I was staring at Kael who was leaning against his black Audi. He was wearing a white undershirt with its sleeves rolled up and the shirt billowing in the night’s breeze. In his hands were flowers which left me more flabbergasted. What was he trying to do? Why was he trying so hard? Especially after what happened last time? He’d lied to me about having information on Rune only for him to spout some absolute nonsense. I still hadn’t forgiven him for that. “I heard you were sick, and so I came to give you some flowers personally,” he said. “I’m not sure about you for the last one. That’s why I came personally.” I looked at him like he was crazy. “Have you lost your mind?” Blurted out of my mind before I could hold back. “No, Aurelia. Look I know you said you didn’t want to see me after what happened,” he said. “But I was honest about what I told you that night. I would never lie to you.” I glared at hi
