Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 14

‘Our mate!! Our mate!!”

Rowena heard her wolf, Row speak for the second first time in eight years. It was a sentimental feeling but she was scared. This was the same excitement Row showed before they were brutally rejected by Charles Remembering Jaxon from long, ago and before she left, she knew that he was Charles‘ brother and also her second chance mate but how could she even think that he would accept her? She was back to the pack where everything was different from her life in Canada and was not going to entertain the thought.

‘Forget about Mate. We are here for mother, Rowena chastised Row while she moved in the direction of her mother and threw herself around her. Gracie watched in awe, not understanding what was happening. Rowena could feel Jaxon’s intense gaze on her and since the mate bond was very strong as a result of the closeness, she could feel her heart burning from the intensity.

‘Our mate does not want us Jax complained bitterly. Jaxon felt his heart tighten in his chest. After waiting for eight years. their mate ignored them just like that but he understood her point of view. She was afraid. He could smell the fear all around her but if he could have time to speak to her alone, he could explain things to her and make her understand that she was the one he was waiting for.

Our mate was hurt before. We should give her time, he comforted the ruthless creature who had suddenly become a kid. upon seeing their mate. No wonder Rowena did not respond to her mother’s last letter. She was making arrangements to come down to take care of her. What a surprise! Jaxon observed her every moment. How gracefully and elegantly she moved. Her hair, which had grown longer but also held in a messy pony tail. Rowena looked far prettier and attractive that when he saw her that day.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But then, she looked like a wretched and ordinary omega but now, she was like an enchanting goddess. Jaxon gulped. “What if Charles was waiting for Rowena?‘ Fear crept into his heart at that imagination. After Charles rejected Rowena, he refused to mark Clara and has also not found his second chance mate or what if he found and rejected her too? Seeing how Rowena had changed. Jaxon vowed that he would not allow any man to come close to her. She was his alone.

“Mom, I’m so sorry for not visiting earlier. How are you? I came with Gracie; do you remember her?” Rowena’s voice in Jaxon’s ears as he addressed her mother, sounded like drops of honey from a honey comb, everything in him wanted to claim her at that very instance. Jax had withdrawn due to what Jaxon had told him. He was quite embittered.

“Jason’s adopted daughter,” Alice responded with tear–filled eyes whiles she hugged Gracie. “I was there when your parents died but look at you? You look amazing.” Alice said with teary eyes. Her brother had done a good job with bringing up Gracie so well.

“And what about me?” Rowena pouted. Jaxon felt that she looked so cute with the pout. Her green eyes were bright, not dull like when he last saw her. Alice’s attention shifted back to her daughter.

“I don’t have the words Row. You’ve changed. You look bright and beyond beautiful. Did you undergo cosmetic surgery or something?”

Rowena’s cheeks burned from the compliment. “Mom, how will I have time for that when I have been in medical school? I guess it’s because I found happiness after so many years. Let me check on you mom, if your condition is okay to travel. I’m taking you with me by the first flight tomorrow.”

“Atsuuu,” Jaxon faked a sneeze. After waiting eight years, she was planning to just take her mother and leave? This information was causing Jaxon’s pure heart to bleed.

“Ah, Row, meet our new Alpha, Jaxon,” Alice shifted Rowena’s attention back to the man she was keen on avoiding and it seemed there was no escaping it this time.

Jaxon swallowed saliva. All he wanted to do was to pull her into his arms but he was restricted because she had not accepted him. “Rowena, I have heard a lot about you,” Jaxon suddenly lost the words to say and uttered the first thing that came to mind, whiles he extended his hand to Rowena, who kept her hand to her side.

“Thanks for taking care of my mom, Alpha Jaxon,” Rowena replied in a formal tone, Jaxon grimaced. He asked,

“Can we talk?”

Rowena’s heart thumped. ‘He is going to reject me just as his brother did. If a beta rejected me, how can an Alpha accept me?” She knew it was not possible for him to accept her but she could also not stand the pain of the rejection.

“You see, I came to see my mom so she is my priority now.”

Alice realized that her daughter had changed so much. She was no longer the shy girl who bowed her head every time. She was now outspoken. Alice cleared her throat and said, “Row, I’m not sick. I’m sorry Hlied.”

Rowena paled instantly. Disappointment flashed in her eyes; it sparked through her voice. “You made me drop everything. Why?” Rowena spoke in a low tone but they could all tell that she was very upset.

“Row, do you mean that we never would have seen each other if I did not state that I was sick?” Her mother asked in an equally disappointed tone. “I missed you a lot and could not be selfish to tell you to come so I resulted to such cheap means,” Alice admitted without a drop of regret.

“Mom please, if this is funny, I am not laughing. I extended invitations for you to come but you refused.” Rowena was already getting upset. “Mom, I save lives and I left my patients to make this trip.” Alice

expected Rowena to understand that she was missing her but Rowena had a reason too. For that reason, Alice had to spell the facts.

“Well, there is another reason.”

“And that is.” Rowena gave her full attention, whiles she tried to remain calm. Alice was her mother and she still loved her even when she was not happy with what the woman did.

“Our old Alpha is sick. It was his symptoms I sent to you but the medications did not work.”

Rowena chuckled and stared at her mother with pity. “Of course, it won’t work. He is male. Male hormones are different from women. There are some medications that can’t be taken by both sexes.”

“Ah, you should go and see him them. Give him the right medication,” Alice urged upon seeing the loophole in her plan. before. So, this was the reason why the medication did not work but it was also in a good way since it brought Rowena back. If it had worked, then she would not be here.

“I’m sorry mom. I can’t go to the packhouse.” Everyone stilled with shock, the biggest being Jaxon. He never expected that Rowena would refuse.
