All Chapters of Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

Aurelia’s POVI could hear the crackling flames from the distance, but I wasn’t hurt. How? I could feel its warmth seeping through my skin. Everywhere was dark. This wasn’t how death was supposed to feel. Was it?My eyes fluttered open, and I could see my car up in flames. The cloud of smoke oozing off the fire that ate it up was fierce. The air was filled with ash and the stinging smell of smoke. The crackling sound was the avatar of my question and shock. I saw all of this from a distance. I turned to my side and found Asher standing with his hands spread apart. Around us was a bubble of blue energy. A power coming from him. I was shocked by this. He’d saved us just before the flames got us. That was amazing. I blinked hard trying to recover from the shock of the accident. One minute I’d been arguing with him about Kael. And then, the car went up in an explosion. I’d rushed to save him, but it seems he had that covered already. My son. His growth was both exceptional and frighten

Aurelia’s POV“Alpha!” The female voice shrieked from outside. It snapped me out of my thoughts, and I realized that Rune and I were in the burning house. I turned around and rushed out of the house without saying a word to him only to be confronted by men in the shadows who were grabbing onto the woman and her kids. I clenched my jaw and balled my hands into fists. This couldn’t be happening. I’d thought that the fire outbreak was just something ordinary, but now I could see that it was from them. The people that Rune had been looking for. Rune stepped in beside me analyzing the situation. The room was trembling in fear and I could tell that it was for her kids. “Let them go,” I ordered. “It’s me you’re after.”The men didn’t move. They still had them captive which made my chest burn in rage. I was going to make them pay. “Please Alpha! Save my children,” the woman begged. Before I could act, Rune moved past me heading towards the men who were clutching the kids. He slammed his

Rune’s POVShe was seated by her dresser combing her hair neatly with her black night gown on. Her long auburn hair and her skin shone in the fluorescent lights making her look astonishing. My wolf stirred in excitement as we watched her. I didn’t want this moment to end, but then I couldn’t tell her that she was my mate. I didn’t understand why she hadn’t spoken about it either. Maybe she was ignoring the bond, or she didn’t feel it at all. I couldn’t tell. But that was reason enough for me to keep my mouth shut for now. I knocked on the door gently and she turned to me. I gave her a warm smile but she looked away almost immediately. I gulped hard. That didn’t go as I’d planned. She looked irked by my presence. That was understandable because of what I’d done. I couldn’t tell her who was after me, because I didn’t know. I’d thought that they’d been after her, but after that message I’d gotten from the maid, I was wrong. I was the one they were after. It was confusing to me what th

Rune’s POVA few weeks later. “Steady, steady,” I told Asher as I held his hand. He was aiming his bow at a deer feeding on grass from a distance. I was surprised that it hadn’t seen us until now. The morning sun shone above us, catching the trees and the grass around us. The warm air whistled past us, and the birds chirped above us. It was a beautiful day to be outside, and I was sure that Asher would concur. “I’m not sure I can keep this up for long, Rune,” Asher said, the frustration in his voice vivid. “Patience, Asher,” I urged. “You can’t do everything with force.”Asher sighed and let go of the bow. He turned to me, his face displaying his discomfort. “I got a cramp for holding it out too long,” he said. I sighed and gave him a disapproving look. Day by day he was getting more and more impatient. I didn’t know what was going on, but I didn’t like it. Maybe it was the growth of his powers. I wasn’t sure that a five-year-old would understand the word “arrogance” but he was
