All Chapters of Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Aurelia’s POVThe morning sun waltzed in through the curtains, bathing me and the sheets in its warm glow. I opened my eyes slowly and stifled a yawn afterward. It was morning already and the birds chirping affirmed that. My eyes darted to the couch where Rune had been sleeping all night and he wasn’t there. That came as no surprise to me. There was a sound coming from the bathroom. It was Rune. How did he get up early? Well, he was Rune. There were things he did that I couldn’t do. He was reliable and disciplined which were some of the traits that made him hot. The bathroom door creaked open and he stepped out with a towel around his waist, his body and silver hair damp. He had a brush in his mouth which was stained with lather from his paste. “Good. You’re awake,” he murmured as he brushed. “Get up quickly. We are gathering at the hall by nine.”I nodded, my eyes fixed on his well-chiseled abs. I gulped hard as I felt the lust crawling up my throat. Something told me he was doin

Aurelia’s POVI clenched my jaw as my hand hung in the air. I was on the porch of one of the houses in the neighborhood. But I was confused. Why would the compass guide me to a house? Why would the crystal be here? Maybe there was something wrong with the compass. “Are you just going to stand there or are you going to knock?” Tamara asked impatiently as she stood in the driveway, the morning sun blazing down on her. Her chocolate skin was glowing and her eyes sparkled as she gazed at me, waiting for me to do something. Anything. “I don’t even know if the compass is right,” I reminded her. Her brows furrowed. “Are you going to hand it over and let me do this?”Tamara found it hard to hide her irritation. Maybe she had social anxiety, or maybe it was something more. Perhaps it was something about me that made her skin crawl. And I hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking. “Who’s the Alpha again?” I asked rhetorically. “Oh. That’s right, me.”Tamara sighed and shook her head in disappoin

Aurelia’s POV“Well, well, well,” the man with the scar across his lip said with a smug smile on his face. “Looks like our lucky day.”The man with the buzz cut looked over at us and scoffed. I could tell already that they’d underestimated us because we were both ladies. The thought made my wolf growl. And then, a sharp pain pierced through my abdomen and I winced in pain. “Two females. This will be like taking candy from a baby,” the man with the scar said, cracking his knuckles. I could feel rage crackling beside me and I turned around to find Tamara fuming. Her brows were furrowed and her septum ring glinted in the sun as her nose twisted in rage. In her hand was the package which looked like it was bound to her. She took a step forward, shielding me. I was baffled by this. She was the beta here but she was protecting me. It made me wonder what the hell was going on in Solana’s pack. They all were feisty and had the air of responsibility oozing off them. It inspired me, making m

Kael’s POV. Maybe it was pure coincidence, or maybe it was just my lucky day. The morning hadn’t gone as planned. It was boring, because I’d found my crystal with Ethan a few minutes after we’d dispersed. What was shocking was that we were the only Alpha and Beta from the same pack to be paired. There was something off about this conference and my wolf wouldn’t stop pressuring me to investigate. But that wasn’t the reason I’d come here. There was only one reason I’d chosen to come to this conference, and she was standing just across the street. Aurelia’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at me. I wondered why she was surprised to see me. There were a couple of men standing before who were holding a package. They’d bumped into us on our way back to the hotel which had pissed Ethan off. And it was rare because Ethan was always phlegmatic. “Excuse me,” the man with the buzz cut said with irritation in his voice. Ethan stepped forward, his brows furrowed. “And what if I don’t want

Rune’s POVIt was him every single time. He was always there. He was the source of all my recent problems. Kael Riverstone. There were times when I wanted to kill him. Ending him would have been the best solution. With him out of the picture, Aurelia would feel like her old self again and I would finally have the confidence to tell her about my secrets. Or maybe I was just making excuses to lie to her. Maybe. The afternoon sun blazed down on us as we walked toward the hotel in silence. My body was cold, frozen by the encounter with Kael but mainly about the side effects from shifting. Kael was the last person to witness it. And I was certain that he knew what I was. I couldn't let him keep meeting up with Aurelia like this. Or else he would end up telling her about me before I had the chance. It was a risky move keeping all of this from her. But soon it was going to be worth it. And when the time came, I hoped she would understand. The cold breeze from the air conditioning that brus
