All Chapters of Once Rejected, Twice Desired: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Xander POVI couldn’t believe it. Alaia and I would be having two babies in just a few months. For someone who never actively planned to be a father, I couldn’t be happier. After we had thoroughly pissed off everyone on the floor, I went back into the room to find Alaia waiting for me. Her eyes were clouded over, and I wondered who she was mindlinking. “Hey, Little One. Everything alright?” I asked when her golden brown eyes had returned. “Everything is good now. I just apologized to the pack for the nonsense that just went on in the hallway. You guys are insane.”“Maybe it was a little over the top, but I’m having twins. I’m allowed to be excited about it.”“I guess. So, can we head back now? I’ve got everything I need here, and I’d like to lie down for a bit before dinner starts.”I went over and helped her to stand up. The doctor had given her crutches to get around until her ankle was better, but with her sprained wrist, I wasn’t sure how that was going to work. “Babe, I’m

Alaia POV There it was, out in the open. My mark residing on Alexi’s neck. I couldn’t deny my feelings anymore. And even if I tried, what good would it have done? I had marked him and claimed him as mine. It seemed clear to me that my body knew what it wanted. My subconscious knew what it wanted. But I was just too afraid to say it. Xander sat beside me and stared at the mark on Alexi’s neck. I'm sure he was not expecting to be hit with this. None of us was. And even though this had been his idea from the start, I was afraid that seeing that I had marked another man would make him change his mind. I reached over and tentatively took his hand. To my surprise, he adjusted and then interlaced our fingers, giving me a reassuring smile. “It’s alright, Little One. Just talk to us. Everything is going to be fine.”It's all going to be fine. I can do this. I just need to say what I feel, what I know in my heart to be true.“Okay...Alexi, I want to apologize for marking you. It’s not t

Xander POV After two hours of training, Henry finally released us from his clutches. I could tell that he was testing Alexi, trying to push his limits, but he never once broke. He ran at the front of the group, never in the middle or back. He sparred with our biggest and best, and when he was knocked on his ass, he got right back up. He breezed through hundreds of push-ups and sit-ups without complaints, and when he was finished, he asked for more. He had proved himself right off the bat, and this would make his acclimation into our pack that much easier. On my way back to the house, I pulled the guys aside. “After breakfast, I wanted to talk to you three in my office. It won’t take long, maybe fifteen minutes or so. Then I’ve got to head into the office for a few meetings.”They all agreed as we made our way back to the house to shower and get cleaned up. After my shower, I went to my closet and pulled out a charcoal gray suit, a crisp white shirt, and shiny black dress shoes. I

Xander POVOnce Alexi filled me in on the true identity of my receptionist, I walked into my office and called down to security to have them make sure she didn’t leave the building. “Are you sure that’s her, Alexi? 100% sure,” I asked him. “Yes. I’d recognize her anywhere. That bitch ruined my life. I could never forget her face.”I had planned to leave her to Aaron to find and deal with, but it seemed that the universe had different plans. Even though she wasn’t on my land, she was in my building, and that gave me the right, at the very least, to hold her until her Alpha was notified and made the decision on the next steps. “Okay. I’ll call down and ask to have her sent up to my office. It just so happens that I have an interrogation room here as well, so we’ll put her there. I still have the meetings that I have to get to, but she won’t be able to go anywhere.”I needed to get to a meeting in less than five minutes; I couldn’t be late. Not for this one. “Alexi, you’ve got to han

Xander POV These meetings seemed to drag on and on, and I was becoming restless. There was some serious shit going down in my office, and I had no idea what exactly it was. Two hours after I had arrived, the lawyers present were still bickering back and forth about clauses and amendments, but I had mentally checked out. “Mr. Black? Are you ready to sign now”? I heard someone say. I looked up to see my lawyer with a thick contract in his hands. It looked like they had finally agreed. “Yes, sorry, Dante. Where do you need my signatures?”It took another five minutes for me to sign and initial all the required spots before everything was done. Black Enterprises was cleared to expand into Europe, which would increase our profits exponentially. I shook a few hands and excused myself from the room as soon as I could. I glanced down at my watch while waiting for the elevator. Alexi been left on is own for two and a half hours, and I just hoped that everything had gone okay. When I arriv
