All Chapters of Reject Me, Alpha Tate: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Nicole POV"I suspected at first," she whispered, looking down at her lap, her voice trembling so violently her jaw shook. "And then I knew. But by then, Caesar had already brought him home. By then, I was holding a newborn baby in my arms, and from the second I became Luna, people looked at me with reverence instead of quiet disgust. He made me whole in the eyes of the pack. I told myself that if I loved him enough, if I raised him as an Alpha's son, it would balance the scales. I lied to myself every morning when I looked in the mirror.""You didn't love him, Tracy. You loved the status he gave you," I said, the truth ringing clear and unyielding through the room. "If you had loved Tate as a mother, you wouldn't have let Caesar shape him into a weapon. You wouldn't have watched Caesar beat the warmth out of that child in the basement, breaking his spirit year after year, just so he'd grow into a ruthless commander. You let Caesar abuse the boy who saved you from obscurity because pr

Nicole's POVThe hearing chamber smelled of dry parchment and chemical cleaner. Sitting at the witness table, I hated that my hands weren't shaking like I felt they should be."Dr. Carter." The tribunal chair, a stern gray-haired woman named Director Oneyes, folded her hands in front of her on top of a thick Manila folder. "You've been asked here to speak about Tracy Caesar's neurological condition. Explain whether Tracy Caesar's neurological condition makes her responsible for the deaths of Alpha Luca and Luna Viola. Please begin."I glanced once at the gallery before I started. Tate sat in the second row, elbows resting on his knees, watching me with an expression that gave nothing away to anyone who didn't know him. I knew him now, and I could see the tight tension riding through his broad shoulders."Tracy Caesar presented to my trial months ago," I said, keeping my voice low and clinical, using the same deliberate voice I'd used in every board presentation for years. "She arrived

Nicole pov Diana froze. Her breath caught sharply in her chest, her mouth opening in shock. For a second, she just stared at me as if she could not believe the words had actually left my mouth.Then, tears spilled over her eyelashes, running freely down her cheeks. Her shoulders began to shake with quiet sob after quiet sob, all the grief and long years of waiting dissolving in an instant.I stepped forward without a single second of hesitation and pulled her tightly into my arms. This time, I did not freeze at all. I wrapped my arms around her back, pulling her close, resting my cheek against her hair while she held onto me like she was never going to let go."I am sorry," Diana sobbed into my shoulder, her hands clutching tightly at the fabric of my coat. "I am sorry, I did not mean to break down like this""It is okay," I whispered, holding her a little tighter, feeling the steady rhythm of her breath against my chest. "It is okay, Mom."Diana let out a ragged, watery laugh throug

Tate POVNicole brought the phone back to her ear, letting out a long, slow breath. "Our children are finally, completely, unambiguously safe," she said after a moment. It was not a question, just a fact settling into place between us. "No loopholes left. No classification that could ever be used against them. No bloodline anyone can dispute.""That was always the only thing that mattered," I said, leaning back in my chair and looking at the empty desk. "Every single document I signed tonight was for them. And for you.""I know," Nicole whispered. "I sat in that tribunal room weeks ago watching them read through my father's old files, and I thought about how much time we lost. But hearing you say this right now makes it feel like the weight is actually gone.""It is gone, Nicole," I told her. "Caesar cannot touch them. The pack council cannot put a label on them. When Maple and Rosy grow up, they will never have to ask permission to study science, or hold office, or choose their own p
