ALMOST REJECTED; FATE'S CHOICE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

Sabrina. "It's understandable that he would save you." After a moment of silence, she finally said something, and yet, her statement did nothing to answer my earlier question. " Alpha Green is actually your uncle. " She whispered, and for a brief second, I fell into a daze, disbelief and confusion burning through me as I tried to process her statement. ""What did you say?" I found myself asking, my voice shaking with hope and disbelief. Alpha Green? My uncle? " Yes. He is brother to your late father." She added, before she looked away, as if she was unwilling to say more. I sat there, trying to process everything, and yet, nothing made sense at all. " Look, my dear. I would really love to say more, but it is not in my place to." " You have been with him for so long, but he never revealed it to you." She added, still not looking at me. " Maybe, he will properly introduce himself to you when the time is right.. As for your father," She paused, a bitter smile ta

Rhys. " But you and Sabrina are no longer married, son." There was a hint of pity in her eyes as she stated, and at her words, I abruptly rose from my seat, disbelief and confusion contouring my face. No longer married? That had to be the biggest joke, ever! But why was I already panicking? " You are lying, mother." I whispered, and I didn't care how desperate I sounded. " Well, what's up with the big reaction? Hadn't you always been in love with Amery?" She taunted, and for a moment, I was lost for words. " That's not true.." I whispered, and I found it hard to convince her, especially when I recalled how, on numerous occasions, I had gone up against them, just because I didn't want anything to do with Sabrina then, and I didn't want them interfering. " Well, you don't have to try too hard to convince me." She whispered, wearing a knowing look, and I let out a shaky breath. That was my mother. She always seemed to know things about everyone. Even what they didn't know ab

Rhys. " Before Sabrina left, we made sure that she was well informed." My father's voice was tense and deeply disturbed as he explained. They had just finished telling me the story behind their bloodline and my father's royal roots. It turned out that he was actually a werewolf royalty, and to be more precise, he was the current Alpha King's cousin. But he gave up his royal status for love, for my mother. Then what did that make me? A royalty, a prince, not in the direct ruling line, but a prince nonetheless. And Sabrina? Well, just like I had guessed, she was related to the former Queen, and that made her a werewolf princess. And to be honest, that didn't come as a surprise to me. There had been a way that my late aunt, Sabrina's mom, had carried herself around that had totally distinguished her from normal werewolves. There was a different layer of elegance and grace to her that no matter how hard she tried to mask it, she just couldn't, and Sabrina had it in her too. "

Rhys. The look on her face told a tale of pure agony and grief as she looked at me. " If you leave now," She paused, wiping away tears from her face, her eyes hollow, devoid of the warmth that usually radiated off them whenever she looked at me, and that pulled at a string in my heart. " If you leave now, you will lose your mother first. " She declared, her face glacial, and for a brief moment, my face morphed into several shades of disbelief, disappointment, and something that bordered on pity, maybe? " Mom? You didn't just threaten me, did you?" I finally asked, still in disbelief, and in response, she shook her head, and the grave look on her face answered my question. She was serious. She had just used her own life to threaten me into staying. She was hellbent on stopping me from going for Sabrina, wasn't she? But, did she have to go to that extreme? " I am not threatening you, son," She whispered, her voice shaking. And I hated what it did to me. I hated how

Rhys. " You are here.." The moment she saw me approaching, she swiftly got out of the car, and the haste in her movements further tightened the knots in my gut. Queen Rosa was famously known for her composure.. To see her this worked up, I couldn't help but worry about Sabrina. Was she okay? " Yes.." I acknowledged, taking a bow before her.. "You don't have to follow such formalities when it's just me and you.. I don't care about such.." She explained, with a wave of her hand, and at that moment, she looked just like Sabrina. The attitude, the carefree spirit, and the familiar laziness when it came to following formalities and rules. They shared that much in common. Looking at her, the Queen, then taking a look at the pack house, which was slowly shrinking into the distance, my resolve hardened.. I was doing it.. I had to. "Judging from the frost in your eyes, you and your parents had a fallout, then?" She asked, a small, almost ghostly smile playing on her lips
