Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

Aurelia’s POVAnthonia. The words rang in my ears. No. It couldn’t be. She was the maid I trusted. Not until recently though. After finding Liora with Asher in the garden, I had my suspicions about her. But she was the one I’d given the most responsibility to. I’d let her guard Asher. He was the most precious thing to me in the world, and yet I left him in her hands. Only to find out that I was handing Asher right into the hands of my enemies. I could hear pulse drumming in my ears as my blood sizzled in rage. I could feel it like a wave gathering in my chest. The primordial energy or what was left of it buzzed in my veins. And for a split second, I could hear my wolf roaring inside me. It's been weeks since I last heard from her. Not since that day I woke up. My mind went back to it as well. My condition meant I’d been poisoned. I was careful with whatever I ate at the palace because I was certain that there were a few people who didn’t like the fact that I was Alpha. If there was

Rune’s POV Aurelia was better now, but that still didn’t make me satisfied. I was worried that she was going to blame herself for a long time. I never thought that the primordial energy could feed off emotions and make someone lose their mind that way. She’d reached into the depths of the powers I’d never thought were possible. There was no surprise in that. Primordial females were often stronger than their male counterparts, but I’d done well in holding my own against them. Okay, maybe I got my asso kicked a little. She was lying in bed, weakened by her burst of strength. It was going to take a few hours for her to recover from that. Asher was seated on the other edge of the bed. He was worried about his mother. I was impressed. He was taking responsibility for his mother at such a young age. I knew he was going to be an incredible Alpha someday. “Is she going to be alright?” He asked me. I nodded. “Stay with your mother and look after her. I’ll go question our prisoner.”

Rune’s POV “No! There’s no way I’m trusting Asher in the hands of that maniac!” She barked. I sighed and rubbed my forehead. It was daybreak, and I barely had time to sleep last night. By the time I got home, it was late. I only got a few minutes of sleep, and that was after my mind wandered through the possibilities of Aurelia accepting Kael’s help without her knowing. He’d told me to keep him anonymous, and I was going to honor that promise until the end. “He’s the one who put that chip in his brain in the first place,” Aurelia added. “How could you be okay with letting go into Asher’s head again? He could kill him!” “Aurelia. Listen to yourself. The only person who could take the chip out of Asher’s brain is him!” He said. “You heard what the doctor said. If another person tries it, Asher could die.” Aurelia held her forehead and closed her eyes. Her auburn hair was tattered across her forehead, and her bronze skin shone in the morning sun as we stood in the yard, safe from t

Rune’s POVKael’s phone rang but I was sent starlight to voicemail. That was the third time in a row. There was no doubt about it. Something was wrong, and I knew that Ashley had been kidnapped. I gritted my teeth as my grip tightened on the steering wheel. I was going super fast on the road, and the thought of being pulled over and handed a speeding ticket didn’t even cross my mind. I had to get to Findlay’s apartment quickly. Findlay’s words crossed my mind once more. I had been confused the first time he told me that Liora had coerced him. It turned out that she didn’t just force him into doing it. She had help from someone. It made sense because there was no way that she could have come up with multiple plans all by herself. There was someone else pulling the strings from the shadows, and my guts told me I wasn’t going to like the answer. I needed to know what we were up against, and the only way I could do that was to find Kael. He was the first clue. I arrived at the apartment

Aurelia’s POVI was lost. Rune had left in a hurry about an hour and a half ago after talking about his daughter. It seemed like something went wrong with their plan, and Rune was trying to cover it up. I was left alone in the waiting room with the hope that I would see Asher soon. He was the only thing keeping me from completely losing my mind. I didn't know where I would be without him.During the saga about Jaochim’s death, he and Rune were the only people that were there for me from the beginning. I was glad that it was all over, and that the misunderstanding had been cleared, but it was still so obvious that most of the pack still didn't trust me. They had their doubts, and that was understandable. It would take time to regain that trust, and I was certain there would be just enough time for that after I was done with Liora. She was going to pay for everything she’d done to both Asher and me. Coming against me was one thing, but putting my child in harm’s way was something I coul
