All Chapters of Rejected by my Alpha, Loved by my Beta: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Aurelia’s POV We were back at the hotel room now, and I was seated on the bed with my fingers running through my damp hair. I was tired and my body ached from the battle with Fernando and his beta. I was glad that we’d been able to get our crystal back, but at the same time, I wondered if it was a good thing that we won it. If we didn’t, we would have been sent back home which meant that I would get to be with Asher quicker than I expected. But that didn’t look like the case, because so far I hadn’t seen anybody being thrown out. The shower was supposed to be relaxing, but it barely did any good for me. Maybe if I got some sleep, it would chase away the pain. My lip still stung from the cut that I’d gotten from the fight. I was tired. I needed some rest. I rubbed my hair with the towel vigorously trying my best to dry it as quickly as possible. I was in nothing but my bra and panties. Rune was in the bathroom, which meant I still had a few minutes to fix myself before he came out.

Kael’s POV I was a fool. I was doing it wrong. My efforts to get Aurelia back were backfiring and I was slowly losing myself. What could I do? What hadn’t I done that could impress her? There was little that I could do while we were here. Our ins and outs were monitored so it was pointless going out. All I could do was sit in my room all day with Ethan criticizing me each time. This was his idea, and I was willing to listen, but maybe I was doing it the wrong way. So how could I do it? How could I show her that I genuinely cared? I didn’t know. I was lost. My main focus was to get her back so that I could get my hands on Asher. They were trembling in anxiety and buried them in my pockets as I walked through the hallways of the hotel. It was late at night and the hallways were empty which was a good thing. The last thing I wanted was to bump into an Alpha I knew here. There were a bunch of them that I’d talked to over the last few days, but that was it. There was only one Alph

Rune’s POV “Well, that was anticlimactic,” Solana said as we walked out of the hall. The conference lasted only a few hours, shorter than expected. Why would they call us all the way here just to talk about things that weren’t important? I knew why I was called here. And I knew why Aurelia was here as well. I figured it out last night. They were watching us. They wanted to know more about Aurelia and me. And if there were a chance, they would have loved to study Asher too. Well, they already had a spy in the pack who was doing that. I would have to fish them out when we got back. This wasn’t what I’d planned for Aurelia and her son. “Earth to Rune,” Solana said, snapping her fingers. I blinked my eyes as I came back to reality, staring at Aurelia who was standing watching me tentatively. In fact, they were all looking at me in confusion. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. “Sorry about that,” I apologized. “I was just thinking about what the council had said.”

Rune’s POV I walked through the hallway with fury in my eyes. The council had gotten on my nerves. Still watching us even after everything I’d done for them? That was unbelievable. What more did they want from me? I’d given them almost everything I had. I’d worked with them for years, and still, they weren’t willing to let me go. “Well, well, well,” I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. I paused and turned around to find Kael leaning against a pillar with his arms folded. His jet black hair was caught in the fluorescent lights that lit the hallway and his green eyes burned with mischief. He was watching me. He was after something. Probably looking for leverage to use against me. He aimed to get Aurelia back. And he would be dumb to think that I would let him have her. “You,” I growled. “What do you want, Kael?” Kael chuckled as he leaned off the pillar. “I didn’t know you were friends with the council,” he said, walking towards me. My eyes narrowed as I wa

Rune’s POV “Are you sure about this, Rune?” Aurelia asked with a hint of concern in her voice. “Of course I am,” I said as I pulled off my shirt, my torso glistening in the golden rays of the afternoon sun. “It’s not like I’ve any other choice.” Aurelia’s response was a sigh. She was worried. She had every right to. I was going to battle the beta of the Silver Fang pack. It was ironic because I’d already fought with their Alpha and won. Well, that came with a lot of consequences. I wasn’t at my best, which meant that I would be vulnerable to a lot of attacks. But the icy feeling was solely wearing off, and I could feel my body starting to feel like mine again. It was a good sign especially with Kael lurking. Aurelia watched me from the bed as I changed into a gray shirt that hugged my body like a second skin. It was elastic which made it easier to stretch my hands and flex my muscles. I turned back to her and she was still seated on the bed, worried about what was going
