Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected By My Mate, Knotted By His Alpha Daddy: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"You have no idea how much it means to me that you're finally willing to hear me out." Vivianne stiffly placed the glass of water back on the table, her makeup today was soft, almost no product on her face. "Beta Marcus and Gamma Baldwin, I also appreciate you two for making time in your tight schedules to finally get to learn what happened." Vivianne looked exactly like I'd always known her yet so different with that heaviness in her eyes. I didn't get enough time with her but dinner last night made it clear she was desperate to hold onto something. Desperate to leave all her emotional baggage behind and she needed the support of the people that loved her. The unwavering support of her husband. Was that something I could guarantee? Absolutely. All I needed to do was to consciously stretch out a supporting arm, and heartily comfort her. "I have scars that although clothes cover, my heart could never hide them. Morgè wanted to see Luca break, he had his plans perfect

♠︎♣︎VIVIANNE♠︎♣︎"Candace has always been a very beautiful and humble girl. She'll make a very sweet bride." I dabbed my mouth with the napkin at dinner, smiling impressively at Damien who looked a little conflicted with choosing between the two Baldwin sisters. Luca didn't say much at the table, he'd barely touched the salmon with baked potatoes on his plate. He looked lost in thought. He looked just as handsome and as stressed as I'd known him all my life to be. The goddess was indeed answering my prayers. Although Luca hadn't moved back in, or given me any reason to believe our intimacy could be restored, soon, at least, he'd accepted to have dinner as a family. That was a good sign. "Candace and I could exchange vows on the same full moon as you and..." Damien trailed off, to call Luca dad seemed very heavy on his tongue, "You get." This rivalry was something I could fix. If only they let me. One thing at a time."Excuse me. I'll take an urgent call in my office." Luca reare

♡☆CANDACE♡☆"How Luca works with a clumsy girl is beyond me!" Beta Marcus pushed past the door into the office, disapproval etched on his face. He carefully sidestepped the mess before me and walked right into the office. I was still too stunned, unable to recover from the shock of walking in on Luca kissing another woman. Even though he'd stepped back from Vivianne to his desk, it still felt to me like they were still in each other's arms. It replayed over and over in my head, making it hard to think of anything else or to recover from the shock. "Luca, my team alerted me in the early hours." Marcus broke the tension that'd thickened ferociously in the office, speaking so freely like he didn't notice how heavy the air was, "There's a need to cull. It's a case of a rat.""Don't just stand there, clean that mess up." Vivianne snapped her fingers at me, taking a seat on the sofa as though she'd suddenly been welcomed to meetings as confidential as this. If she could kiss him, why c

♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"Beta Marcus is right. You should ride with your wife." Candace went instantly silent with a scowl on her pretty face when I shot her a glare. Her chin tugged up at a stubborn angle.Wild cat. Said a lot to me earlier. Obviously had a lot more things to say to me and I couldn't wait to hear it. All of it. Arriving at the ceremony with Vivianne beside me certainly was going to make a statement. Pack politics or not, I didn't like what it would state. Didn't want to lead the people on with things I knew without doubt weren't meant to be. To distract myself from my thoughts, mostly from the ceremony and the VIP guests in my territory, I chose to shift my thoughts to the only peace my heart bled for. My thumb delicately stroked the sole of her foot propped up against my knee while I'd taken her heels off. Her toes curled, she fought a giggle because she'd rather stay mad at me. Pulling her leg back down she shifted just a little bit from me. "I don't understand why you

♡☆ALPHA LUCA♡☆"The radar is beeping. Morgè is here. Somewhere in the crowd." Marcus informed me when I returned to my seat after my closing speech. Instinctively, my eyes went straight to where Candace's petite frame had been. The seat was vacant and so was Rex's seat. It wasn't until Rex confirmed they were on their way back to my mansion that I was able to breathe adequately. "We find him. As subtle as possible without disrupting the rituals." I responded with my wolf already heightening his senses, my vision blurring out so my wolf's sight scanned the arena. Any rogue in our midst would be spotted. If the radar responded, then Morgè wasn't undercover and he was here for a reason. Vivienne?I'd failed to protect her once. If she'd returned, trusting me again to protect her from the Rogue King, then it'd be such a betrayal of trust if I let him capture her the second time. "Escort Vivienne Fisher to my car, I want her safely inside and notify the priest to cut the rituals sho
