All Chapters of Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ava's POV “You should have seen her face,” Isla said, "it was hilarious!" Zayden didn't share in her excitement instead, a look of horror rested on his face like he'd just received a death sentence. He'd excused himself to go to the restroom when everything happened while the warriors were doing only who knows what. Not that we needed them to save us. “I'm glad you enjoyed that." He murmured. Tuning them out, I turned to Valerie, whose face was pale like she just saw a ghost. “Are you okay?" She nodded, “I'm fine, I didn't expect to meet her here." This caught the attention of Isla, who was done pulling Zayden's legs, “That's true, how do you know her? I was so close to punching her face." “She's my cousin, but her family doesn't really like mine because my mom is human.” She replied. "They advised my dad to reject her, so that she doesn't ruin their family's name by having a human child.” I didn't miss the look of surprise that flashed through Isla's eye

Valerie's POV I fought back a smile thinking back to how fast my life was changing. Less than a month ago, I was usually alone with Damien because I've had people talk down to me, calling me names for having a child without a mate. It was one of the reasons I left the city, hoping that the pack life would be easier but who was I kidding. When my dad first told me he was taking to the Pack for my birthday, I had been so excited because I grew up hearing tales of the werewolf community and I prayed that I would get a wolf like my dad since I never fit in anywhere. At school, I was the need no one paid attention to and home, even though my parents tried to talk in hush tones, it was obvious they were worried especially dealing with extended family from my dad's side, who hated my mom and didn't hide it. But I was optimistic. I would get my wolf and I would find my mate, someone who loves me more than my dad loved my mom…if only I knew. The night everything happened still f

Ava's POV I couldn't tell what was going through my head as I left Dominic's office. It wasn't really a big deal that he didn't tell his mom about us. We'd not even officially gone on a date yet…and we were technically not in a relationship. Several thoughts went through my mind and none of them made me feel any better. "Did he not tell her because she wouldn't approve? Was he ashamed?” Rhea snorted, "he'd claimed you publicly, I'm sure he has his reasons.” She said. "His mom is different…he doesn't have to listen to anything anyone in the Pack says." I thought. “But his mom can decide and say she doesn't like me." “You're just over-thinking things." Rhea assured me but I knew from experience that I wasn't. “He did say she was going to like you." A frown made its way to my face, “well you don't expect him to tell me the opposite, do you?" I said, the words coming out harder than I intended and a sigh escaped my lips. “Luna, are you okay?" Valerie asked. As usual,

Zayden's POV "Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked Ava, whose eyes followed me around the room as I sorted out the paperworks for the meeting with the elders that was going to be held later this week. She shrugged, "what are you talking about?” She asked. "I'm being a good friend and keeping you company.” "I'll believe that if you didn't have that look on your face." “You're seeing things." She laughed. “I'm just thinking about my date with Dominic, I'm not sure how to get ready for it since he didn't tell me where we are going.” Of course she was lying. I've known her…well it hasn't been that long but somehow, I knew how to call her out especially when she was lying. At first, when Dominic said he thought he'd found his mate, somehow, I expected her to be a stuck up, who would make everything about her and be proud because she was mated to the Alpha, instead she was the opposite. "Right, and I'm an idiot.” "I'm glad you're accepting your second nature.”

Ava's POV “Hi Dom." The voice called and even without turning, I felt my entire body freeze. I turned to see a tall blonde woman walking toward us, her heels clicking softly against the pavement. She was beautiful in a sharp, effortless way, long hair falling perfectly over her shoulders, a fitted black dress hugging her figure like it had been made for her. She looked familiar and I tried to remember where I had seen her. “Elaine," Dominic called, and it hit me. She was the girl from the Mall, the one who was touching him even though she was only his friend. "What are you doing here?" “I tried to reach you earlier, but Sebastian said you were busy…I need to talk to you about something." She said, looking behind him to meet my gaze. “Can it wait? I have something more important." Dominic replied, his hand on my waist caressing me smoothly. “You can talk to Sebastian about whatever it is and we'll deal with it later." She didn't look satisfied. “It's an emergency
