Semua Bab Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Rune’s POV The evening breeze brushed my cheeks and tickled my hair as I stared at the lake before me. The sun was setting, and the sky was painted in a pink hue, making the evening even more spectacular. Behind me, I could hear the sound of steps approaching me, and I knew who it was without turning around. It was no other person than Kael. “I see you have come to a decision,” I said without turning to face him. I heard him sigh behind me. He walked up to my side. He shoved his hands in his pockets and stared at the sunset with me. Through my peripheral vision, I could see him dressed in a suit, with a white inner shirt, which was no doubt his trademark dress code. I never thought that I would see Kael like this. I couldn't forget what he did to me during the Asher saga, but he looked completely different. Having two kids who didn't really feel like yours was a terrible thing. His own son, Asher, didn't want to see him, and he had just found out that his daughter, whom he had

Aurelia’s POV Present day. I handed Suzy a cup of coffee and sat down on the couch with a sigh. Suzy started at the coffee, her red hair gleaming in the fluorescent lights above, and her eyes slowly darting to me. I could tell that she was dissatisfied that I was stalling her, but this was for the best. The flashbacks kept coming, and I wondered how much longer I would be able to hold them down. Those were memories I thought would be buried forever, but now they were back, and they were throwing tantrums in my head. “Are you going to tell me what's going on now, or are you just going to keep on stalling?” She demanded. I sighed as I eased further into the couch, the seat creaking underneath my weight. She had found out. I didn't expect any less from Jachim’s daughter. Though she wasn't Alpha, her aura was almost as intense as her father’s was, and I wondered if she would have been Alpha if I hadn't returned. “There’s been a rumor that’s been spreading about the death of your

Aurelia’s POV Suzy’s face was etched with shock as I concluded the story. I didn't expect any other expression from her. This was bound to happen. This was why I never told anybody about the real story of Joachim’s death because it sounded foolish. I could have helped him if he wanted. I could have healed him if he had wanted. But he had chosen to go, like he had a suicidal wish or something. Suzy shook her head in disbelief as she held her cup of coffee, which seemed to have gotten cold. It was harsh for her to find out that her father hadn't died the hero’s death that they all thought he had. But he was still brave for what he had done. But for me, the only thing I felt was guilt. If I had followed his prior instruction, he wouldn't have died. Joachim would have still been alive. And for the next three years, we didn't have a single rogue attack until a few months ago. An attack that had barely lasted an hour. “I'm sorry, Suzy,” I said, finally finding my voice. “If I had li

Rune’s POVI folded my arms as Kael opened his truck. Behind me, the sun was setting, and the sky was painted in a pink and gold haze that highlighted both of our figures, casting our shadows across the grass underneath us. He pulled out a body and dropped it before me. My eyes fell on the body that rolled to a stop at my feet, and I was surprised when I heard the faint thud of the heart. He was still alive. I took another look at the body, and I recognized the man who was lying in the grass.He was the man who had led the chaos at the Royal mansion a couple of days ago. How had Kael encountered him? He was taking this more seriously than I thought. I thought he would quit after a few days of futile attempts, and then return to demand attention with Aurelia, claiming it would inspire him. I clenched my jaw in disappointment. It was every day, my character judgment went south.“I think he would be of much use to you,” he said as he slammed the trunk shut. H dusted huishands before tur

A year ago.My feet tapped under the table as I waited for my boot impatiently. He should have been here by now. I hated being late, and the last thing I needed was to lie to Kael’s face. What I was doing was dangerous. Kael didn't know that Aurelia was still alive. And worst of all, she’d been living right under our noses. Of course, she’d gone back to the Red Moon. It was the only place that would accept a whore like her. But Kael didn't need to know that. If he did, he’d just search for her and find a way to bring her back. I didn't need that. The last time was enough for me. I didn't want to be fighting for Kael’s love. He was already mine, I wanted it to be that way.The door opened with a chime, and she walked in. I was Anthonia. It’s been hard trying to find her. I was lucky that I still kept a few contacts in Red Moon even though I knew that I was going to be back there again. Anthonia’s blonde hair was hidden under a scarf, and she wore shades to hide her appearance. If someo
