Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Alpha

Chapter Sixteen

Sixteen

Somewhere nice, somewhere nice?

What on earth did that possibly mean? My mind was spinning over that thought for several minutes and I still had not made that decision for myself. I was currently in our bedroom.

I had left him to finish his meeting without me and was really hoping that he would really consider what I told him because I did not want him to go to that extent, to the extent of actually killing someone over something so trivial. I hoped he would see reason enough. I sat there really finding it hard to make up my mind.

Somewhere nice, so what on earth could that description possibly mean to him? By the time he actually walked into the room, I still had not figured out what I wanted.

“Have you made up your mind?” He asked me immediately and I quickly shook my head. “I'll go anywhere at all,” I said to him and he slowly smirked at me.

“This is not what you're supposed to do when you are given an opportunity to tell me exactly what you want.” He said to me, coming closer and I immediately felt nervous. Something about when he looked at me, just did something to me.

Something about his gaze was so powerful to a point where I really felt like I could not focus much. So it was really hard for me to even think now that he was in front of me. “Fine, if you are having a hard time, I'll decide for now.

Your bag is already packed. Let's go”. My bag was already packed?

Who on earth would have packed my bag? I thought to myself, but I didn't say anything to him and just nodded my head before he told me we should leave right away. “When are we coming back?” I asked him, very curious because there was so much chaos right now that I really felt like I needed to run away from it forever, but I already knew that that was not going to be the case. I could not do that.

He could not leave this place for long at all. He was the alpha and he had to be here. “We'll be back tomorrow.

I'll give you enough time to let your emotions settle”. He said to me and I did not know why he really felt like I needed to let my emotions settle down, but I did not want to sound rude either way. So I just nodded my head yet again before taking his hand and walking out of the room.

It felt good walking down the hallway with everyone looking at us, but at the same time it did not feel too good seeing as those looks were not looks that I expected to have with this position. I thought everyone would look at me with envy, everyone would look at me with admiration, but instead all I could see was disgust and fear. The fear I had always seen when I was younger.

The disgust as well, but this time around I was really hoping those were the kind of looks that I would be able to stop getting, but it seemed it was not going to happen. “Alpha Kane!” , Jack's voice sounded from behind us and we both turned around instantly. “Where are you headed? I'll go with you”, he said and I could just see the look in Alpha Kane's eyes.

He was truly amused by what Jack was saying. I was really surprised as well that he would even make such a suggestion. “Why would I go anywhere with you? You stay here and make sure that everything is running smoothly”.

He said to him and immediately Jack arched his brows.

“ Well, that is not how the law says things should be done, Alpha Kane. I have to go with you everywhere that you go as your right hand, as your beta.”

He said to him and I was just confused right now. What was Jack's motivation? Why was he so eager? “ Jack, pleaseç. I begged him and I could feel Alpha Kane squeezing my hand as if he did not want me to engage in a conversation with him.

That being the case, I just kept quiet. I am only following the law. “My father was able to amend a few laws and they prevent you from going anywhere without me.

I have to protect you, Alpha Kane.” Jack insisted yet again and this time around, Alpha Kane did not exactly deny him the opportunity. “You will be our driver.”

He just said to him before he tossed him some keys and we walked out. Where on earth were we even going? I had absolutely no idea but I could just tell by the look on Jack's face as he had to start the car that he did not like the idea of us going there. But still he began driving.

I had no idea where we were headed but the tension in the car was definitely not what I was hoping for. I was hoping for relief. Our hands had not once stopped interlocking and unfortunately, my eyes were stuck on Jack's face because he kept looking at me to a point where we felt like I was not safe in this car because he kept looking at me instead of focusing on the road, but eventually we made it.

We made it to our destination. It just so happened to be one of my favorite places. Well, a place I deemed to be my favorite because of Jack in the past but really it did not have much significance other than that for some time until I actually stepped out and looked at it again today.

It was our old vacation home where Alpha Nile used to take us when we were much younger and we would have the best fun. Jack and I had been going there since we found out that we made upon me insisting. I had no idea why Alpha Kane insisted on taking me here, but I suppose I was about to find out

Thisis the destination, Alpha Kane.Did I get it right?” Jack asked and Alpha Kane nodded his head. So indeed it was the right destination. I did not even know what we were going to do here.

I just felt like the awkward little girl in the middle of beef that I did not even get and it was really hard for me to decide what to do in such an instant.
