All Chapters of Rejected As a Failure, Claimed By Two Rival Alphas : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The long-awaited date for the official commencement of the university's elite botanical research project finally arrived.Inside the sleek, glass-walled laboratory of the research wing, students gathered in hushed anticipation around the stainless-steel prep stations. Among them, Kyle stood quietly near the end of a long counter wearing a crisp, oversized white lab coat that swallowed his small frame, the sleeves folded back twice over his wrists to keep them from covering his hands.The heavy doors of the laboratory opened, and Dr. Evelyn the leading specialist of the project walked in, letting the doors close behind her with a quiet hiss. She set a stack of digital clipboards on the main podium, her sharp gaze sweeping across the room."Good morning, everyone," she announced, her voice carrying an easy, practiced authority. "My name is Dr. Evelyn, and I will be leading this term’s advanced research module. Today marks our first official practical session."She stepped toward the int

Clarissa swallowed hard, her hand fluttering nervously up to her collarbone. She managed a small, wavering smile, desperately trying to steady her breathing. "Commander Hugo, what a surprise to see.... you here. The blood is for my poor Noah. His health suddenly declined. These are the doctors that came to administer the treatment earlier.” Hugo took a sharp step forward, his massive frame looming over the dining table. "Doctors?" he sneered, his voice dropping into a dangerous register. "If this is true, why were your doctors sprinting through the back doors like common thieves Mrs Sawyer?"Clarissa’s eyes narrowed. What was commander Kaegan’s deal? she quickly forced a bright, hospitable smile back on her face. "We... we only had them exit through the back door because we didn't want the messy medical equipment to disrupt President Adler's unannounced visit. What brought you around this axis of the estate tonight, Commander?" She threw back at Hugo."I was conducting a routine secu

The cool night air washed over the hospitals exit as the heavy glass doors slid open. Hugo and Devon stepped out first, leading Kyle out. Behind them, Logan and Milo walked quietly in shared awkward silence. They stopped just under the awning, their silhouettes framed by the soft glow of the interior lights."Don't forget to take the suppressants with warm water before bed, Kyle," Logan called out, his tone warm and strictly professional. " And let me know if you feel any lingering nausea or dizziness in the morning.""I would inform you." Hugo said, turning his head slightly, his broad shoulders squared.Logan let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head. "No, I'd rather hear it from the patient himself. Keep your military reports out of my chart notes, Commander."Beside him, Milo stood with both hands shoved deep into the pockets of his crisp, large lab coat, the evening breeze shifting slightly through his hair. He stepped forward, a wide, smile breaking across his face as his eyes se

The dim light of the penthouse suite seemed to freeze, suspending the air between them in a suffocating, quiet. Hugo’s breath caught in his throat, his broad frame locked inches above Kyle’s face. The heavy scent of his pheromone hung thick in the room, warm and protective like a physical barrier against the outside world.For a long, moment, neither of them moved.Hugo’s heart slammed against his ribs like a sledgehammer. He swallowed hard, his throat dry, his jaw flexing as he forced his voice down into a low, steady rumble meant to soothe rather than startle."you’re awake." He murmured, his breath brushing the faint, delicate stray hairs at the boy's temple. He didn't pull away completely, instead, he slowly shifted his weight onto his forearm.Kyle blinked slowly as he lay under the plush weight of the comforter, his dark eyes searching Hugo’s face in the faint moonlight filtering through the floor-to-ceiling curtains.The cedar scent washed over him again thick, rich, and undeni

The morning sun filtered through the curtains of the hotel suite, casting a golden glow across the massive bed. Kyle stirred, his eyelids fluttering open as the unfamiliar surroundings slowly clicked into focus. The high ceilings, the sprawling glass windows, the lingering scent of rain-washed cedar. Everything rushed back at once.He sat up abruptly, his small chest heaving as a sharp spike of anxiety shot through him. Memories from the night before flooded his mind but Hugo was nowhere in sight. Then he looked at the wall clock, and A sudden wave of agitation washed over him. Today was the first day of the project testing and the official public unveiling, the major academic milestone his team had been preparing for weeks to launch and he was completely stranded in a hotel penthouse, miles away from his notes, his materials, and his clothes.Panicking, Kyle swung his legs out of bed, his heart hammering as he hurried across the bedroom and pulled open the heavy door.In the sitting
