All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Desired: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Alaia POV I woke up a few hours later, my throat raw from all the screaming I had done earlier. When I opened my eyes, I saw Alexi sitting in the corner working on his laptop while Xander was asleep in a chair in another corner. “Could I have some water, please?” I croaked out. Alexi’s eyes shot up, and he was instantly standing next to me with the cup of water. “How do you feel, Angel? Should I call for the doctor?” He helped me sit up, and after I gulped the water down, I passed the glass back and shook my head at him. “I’m okay, we don’t need to call anyone yet.” “What happened, Alaia? You scared the shit out of Xander and me. We thought we were losing you.” I figured I couldn’t hold this any longer. I had to tell them what I knew and what I had been doing. “Will you wake Xander up, please? I might as well get this over with all at once.” He looked at me suspiciously. “Get what over with, Angel?” “I’ll tell you in a moment. Just wake him up, please.” Alexi gave me an

Alexi POVMaybe an hour after Matt left, I went back into Alaia’s room. She was asleep, but it didn’t look peaceful, and that hurt. My Angel thought I hated her, and that was the farthest thing from the truth. I loved her with every breath in my body. I walked over and placed a kiss against her temple before I pulled up a chair and sat down next to her. My hand instinctively found hers, and soon I was leaning over the edge of the bed with my head resting next to her belly. I didn’t even realize that I had drifted off until I felt her small hand running through my hair. It had only been a few hours, but I had missed being this close to her. I had missed her touch. “Hi, Angel. How are you?” I asked, never moving from my spot. “I’m scared, Alexi.” This got me moving immediately. “Scared of what? The doctor said you’re healing just fine. It’s much slower than a wolf should heal, but it’s still healing. And there is no sign of infection. You are alright, baby.” She looked at the ba

Alaia POV Crystal, the wedding planner, and I scrambled, but somehow we were able to pull together a decent ceremony that would take place in three days in the backyard of the pack house. Katherine helped us out with flowers, decorations, and tables and chairs. Geoff took on the task of catering the reception, and Mrs. Dyson agreed to make the cake. Everything was coming together smoothly, and all we needed was my dress. The Thursday before the wedding, my mom, Katherine, Lauren, Jordyn, Cassie, and Kimmy came to take me “dress shopping.” I had been released from the hospital a couple of days prior under the agreement that I did as little as possible until the babies arrived, but that was easier said than done when you’re planning a double wedding. The ladies had pulled together around twenty dresses and had them all set up in my dressing room. I just had to waddle in and take a seat while they were all brought over to me to choose the one I wanted. There were so many different fa

Alexi POV It was hard leaving Alaia at home, but I knew there was no way I could get around it. The moms practically threw Xander and me out. I’m surprised we had time to pack a bag and have breakfast. But I wouldn’t let it get to me. Not today. Today was my last day as a single man before I was forever tied to the love of my life. I couldn’t wait to make her my wife, but today was for us guys to have a good time. “What’s on the agenda for today?” I asked the car. Kade and Aaron hadn’t wanted to share any details about tonight, but I was hoping, since we were already on the road, that they would give just the smallest hint. “I’ve got us a suite at the Waldorf. It’s not like we’ll really use it much, but I figured we’d send you two out with a bang,” Aaron said. “Okay, then what’s the plan after we check in?”“You’ll see,” was all I got in return. “Kade, as your Alpha, I can command you to tell me what the plan is tonight,” Xander reminded him. Yes! Now we were getting somewhe

Xander POV After Matt left with Taylor, the rest of us basically just relaxed in our booth and enjoyed our drinks. Kade went back across the hall for more private dances, but Aaron, Alexi, and I were happy where we were. “Well, Aaron, you said tonight would be epic, and you were right. Matt’s been looking for his mate for far too long. It’s crazy that he finds her here, of all places.”“I’m curious what type of girl she is. And the fact that she is human makes me a little weary. I don’t want to see him get hurt,” Alexi said. “I’m sure she’s great. The Moon Goddess wouldn’t pair her with him if she weren’t worthy. Now let’s do some shots, this is our last night as free men.”I poured three shots, and we quickly tossed them back before I refilled our glasses to do it all over again. An hour later, we had gone through all three bottles we had at our table and called for three more when Kade staggered in with lipstick stains on his neck, smelling of way too strong perfume. “Kade, you
