Rejected by My Alpha: Pregnant with his Secret Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

DerrickWith Lucas gone, I can irrevocably state that I’m cooked. All the work now falls on me. Especially the paperwork.OH, the Paperworks, how much I dread them with every fiber of my being. That used to be one of Lucas’s areas of expertise. No, Lucas was in fact good at everything. He was my cheat code for the days when I just felt like lazing around. I could always trust him to do my job well in my absence or not.Now he’s gone, and all the Pack’s baggage is back on my shoulder. I can imagine how high my desk is going to be starting tomorrow. Just the thought of digging into them alone was already triggering all kinds of stress levels in my nerves.My stomach sank deep as I forced a weary sigh out of me. Since I got to my office tonight, there’s only one thing I’ve been staring at on my desk—his Beta seal. He had handed it to me right before we hugged and then drove out of our Pack.I’m pretty sure what’s left of my Pack elders will start demanding a new Beta from tomorrow. Fran

Derrick Last night was heavenly. Not that anything went down between Dahlia and me. But sleeping in each other’s skin and basking in our warmth was a different kind of euphoria I want to get used to. This morning, I should be with Lancel getting updated on reports of the nightly patrol, but here I am in the kitchen with my woman, preparing to make breakfast before our kids are awake. After seeing Dahlia read Zahra to sleep last night, I’ve promised myself that I’m putting my family time first before anything else henceforth. But first! Let’s have some music.I placed the music box on the kitchen island and connected it to my phone. “What are you doing?” Dahlia chuckled, but I was too busy shuffling through my playlist for Dahlia’s favorite indie pop songs. I guess I should thank Laila for the tip. Once, she had told me how Dahlia gets in the groove with music while cooking. I grinned devilishly at her as I clicked on the first one—her all-time favorite, Sailor’s song by Gigi P

DahliaI came back to Silverline Pack for two reasons: To let Zahra connect with her father, and because I miss him. But Derrick asking me to be Davies’s mother was a different kind of responsibility that I’m not ready for. I don’t even know if Davies carries his blood or not. And what about Davies himself? Is this what he wanted? He already has a mother, and that’s Cami. Will the poor boy be ready to desert Cami just for me? Let me even assume these questions do not exist; one solid fact still stands. I’m not ready to be a mother of two. I’d like to think I’m doing a fair job raising Zahra, but adding another one to the equation feels like adding another overbearing mass of weight on my shoulders. I can already imagine my father blowing lava out of his mouth once he hears this. He won’t rest till he pulverizes Derrick.And Derrick? He looked so vulnerable that telling him anything other than yes would have halved his heart in two.“You don’t have to say yes, Dali.” His hands glided

DahliaI should have known that taking those two firecrackers to the pool was eventually going to end with me getting soaked. But I at least succeeded in getting the perfect photo of our babies. I grinned sheepishly at my phone, displaying the wide, overjoyed grins of Zahra and Davies in the pool. Oh, I can’t wait to see the look on Derrick’s face when I show him this. He’ll absolutely melt. Speaking of which, I swiped sideways to our chat. Why hasn’t Derrick answered my message? He’s clearly read it. Maybe he’s that busy at the meeting. I bet the elders are currently going at each other’s throats, pitching for their favorite candidate to be Beta. And Derrick? He’s probably bored out of his mind, wishing to be anywhere but there. Still, I wish he could at least respond. “Oh well,” I heaved, then tossed my phone to the bed. I should change my gown before I wet the floor. I was about to enter the bathroom when the door burst open, causing me to nearly jump out of my skin. “Geez, Der

LancelI don’t know why Derrick would choose me as his Beta, but I know one thing for certain—Derrick needs me. Would I accept it? Yes. He trusts me, and that alone is an honor that I can’t discard. Besides, Silverline could use all the help they’ve got. I love this place, and I'm happy to contribute in any way I can to make it a safer, better place for Zahra, Dahlia, and most importantly, Tessa.I thought that she, of all people, would be elated at the idea. Instead, “You can’t be our Beta.” My mate stated with all seriousness, arms crossed against her chest. It wasn’t up for a debate; she made that clear. “Why?” I replied, and the speed with which she visibly became irritated was phenomenal. “What do you mean by why? Don’t tell me you’re actually considering it?” I shrugged. “Lancel!”Yup, she’s officially angry whenever she calls me that. “Derrick obviously picked me for a reason. He sees the value I can bring to the Pack—““You don’t belong here!” She slithered, and I won’t
