Rejected Luna: Mated to my Alpha Brother의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

EVANGELINEFor a long minute, Alex didn’t speak.He just stared at me, blinking, like a deer caught in headlights. My heart clenched tightly in my chest as I waited… pleaded… for him to say something.“Why would you even ask me that?” he hissed. “What the fuck is going on?”“You tell me, Alex!” I screamed. “I’m tired of playing this game with you.”“Margaret is my brother’s wife. My dead brother, Evangeline. How dare you ask me something like that? Am I not allowed to feel sorry for her?”This was more than feeling sorry and he knew it. “I heard you-”“I don’t care what you think you heard,” he cut me off. “I am not in love with Margaret. I don’t feel anything for her but pity and worry. For fucks sake, Evangeline, get over yourself. Do you think I’m in love with every woman I interact with?”“That’s not what I meant-”“Then what did you mean?” he snapped.I opened my mouth to speak, to try and defend myself and tell him what I’d heard, but at the last minute, I decided against it. Th

ALEXANDERThe first thing I realized when I woke up was that I wasn’t in my bed, and there was hair in my face.Pulling back immediately, I recognized who the hair belonged to and let out an exasperated breath. Margaret slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling with each breath. The covers were pulled over her body, but underneath, she was completely naked.I grabbed my phone to check the time but was shocked by the number of messages I saw. I was getting messages from people who hadn’t spoken to me in months.“What the fuck is going on?” I mumbled, trying to sort through the messages.No one was saying anything substantial. I just kept getting: what the fuck messages.When I finally found a link, my blood ran cold.The headline was out there, as clear as day. It had been for the past eight hours. Everyone had to have seen it by now… including Evangeline.“Fuck!” I cursed aloud, grabbing my clothes from where they lay on the couch.I dressed up in record time and without putting

MARGARETChristmas rolled around quickly, and despite not being at the villa so often in the past few days, my son and I attended the annual Christmas dinner.The staff was in full swing, setting up the table and the decorations. It was the biggest event in this family every year. Everyone dressed up in lavish formal garments and showed up with their families. I’d waited for Alex to pick me up today, but he didn’t. I even called twice but both times, the call went to voicemail.He’d been strangely absent since the night we had sex. I thought about bringing it up and making a scene, but I decided to let it slide. After all, the news of our kiss had broken and died out in the span of twenty-four hours. I had no idea the strings he had to pull to make that happen.“Go find something to do,” I said to my son, shaking him off as soon as I walked into the house.He was quick to dash into the kitchen, and I heard a groan coming from one of the maids, but I ignored it. If she had an issue, sh

EVANGELINEFor the first few minutes after he left, I couldn’t bring myself to speak.I stood there, staring at the door he disappeared through, and a distressed Margaret crouched on the ground. She hadn’t moved since he left either. I think we were both too shocked to process that happened.Hurried footsteps filled my ears and before I knew what was happening, someone rushed into the room in a blur, their hands resting on my shoulders.“Are you alright? I came as fast as I could once I heard what happened. What happened?”Bella was like a breath of fresh air in my smoky world. Her hands on my shoulders felt like anchors, keeping me from floating away in the sea of sadness and regret that had bubbled up in my chest.“Say something, Eva,” she hissed, her voice laced with worry. “Do you need me to call someone? Doctor!”“I’m fine,” I managed out, tearing my eyes away from Margaret to look at her. “I’m okay.”“Thank the goddess. I heard you were in the hospital and-”She stopped mid-sent

NICHOLASI hadn’t expected to see Evangeline at the airport.I knew she’d be here though… in Germany. I saw her name on the list of nurses for the fellowship we sponsored and knew immediately I was attending the program.I usually delegated it to my Beta, but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see her.I never considered myself a masochist, but with Evangeline, there was nothing I wouldn’t do.I knew when I met her again three years ago that she was my mate. All it took was one look at her, one whiff of her intoxicating scent, and I was done for. I would have begged on my knees and eaten right out of her palms if she’d asked me to.I tried to tell her, but I’d seen the mark on her neck, and I knew she’d never understand. Mating with another man meant that she couldn’t feel what I felt. The mating bond didn’t affect her as it did me.I was younger then. I was hot headed and jealous, so I ruined whatever chances I had with her. I cut off all ties with her and never returned.I m
