Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Alpha

Chapter Fourteen

Fourteen

I finally found the room that was supposed to be mine and Alpha Kane’s while we stayed here as a married couple. It felt so strange for me to even say I'm getting married. It was not really anything that I thought about apart from when I thought about doing it with Jack.

Of course, I always knew that I wanted to marry Jack but he made it seem like it would be such a long time before we could actually get married because there were so many things he wanted me to learn first, so many things he wanted me to go through before I could supposedly earn him and be good enough for him. I definitely should have seen where I could do him from that very beginning. I definitely should have known that he did not say all those things because he truly meant them but was only trying to get rid of me like I was some annoying fly that kept following him around.

The bed was huge, the room itself was entirely massive, almost like a second house just within this house. I loved it and it seemed like a very peaceful bed for lovers. Unfortunately, that was not what we were.

We were only people in agreement that we were here to make Jack pay. I still had no idea what his greatest motivation was when I thought that he liked Jack but I was done questioning it because I only wanted it to happen. I did not need a reason for it to be happening.

I threw myself on the bed hugging my legs as I brought my knees to my chest. I felt like a little baby as I rolled over the big bed. This bed was big enough for five people to sleep on it.

I suppose it would not be a bad place for Alpha Kane and I to spend the night. We would be properly spaced so that we can honor our relationship. It was only meant to be real when someone else was watching, not when we got into this room.

The bed was truly comfortable and I immediately began to get sleepy. So I had to get off of it and leave it be. I fixed it before I walked away from it and began looking around.

Something about this room made it feel so familiar. There were so many things that I looked at and felt like I had seen before even though I had not been to this room before. This room was also not an existing room until he made sure that they would prepare it.

It was beautifully decorated and every single thing, when I looked at it, appeared to have some kind of meaning. I immediately recognized something that Alpha Nile used to love a lot. It was a painting, a painting that his own grandfather had made.

It was hung up in the room. I had no idea how much involvement Alpha Kane had in this room being made but it surely seemed like he had way more than I could have imagined. I went through the shelves and the first thing I saw when I opened the first shelf in the dresser truly caught me by surprise.

It was a photo and before I could even close the shelf it caught my attention. I dug it out from there and looked at it with astonishment. It was definitely me in the photo.

I knew it because I was wearing one of my shirts that I remember my parents buying me so it had to be a photo from after Alpha Nile found me, very recently after he found me but I just could not remember it for some reason. In the photo was me, Alpha Nile and Alpha Kane when he was younger.

He looked so different, so much happier than I remember him being during our childhood. I really do wonder why. I could not recall this moment at all so it was truly unfortunate because I could not even try to remember what he was like when he still knew how to smile like this.

I turned the photo to its back and realized that it had a date. It was precisely a day after Alpha Nile found me. At Death's Door, in that forest, I did not like thinking about that day but at the same time it was a bit of a sweet kind of thought every single time that I thought about it because it also meant it was the day that I met a second family.

My life changed because I met Alpha Nile. And even though I had been lonely from the very beginning even though he was the only person I felt like truly liked me apart from Jake when I was deceiving myself it was still a very nice family to have. Alpha Kane's smile looked so warm in the picture.

I quickly put it away and closed the shelf before I took a seat on the stool in front of the dresser. At least I still looked decent enough. I looked presentable.

In fact, I looked pretty good. I could not believe how I had stood up to Charlotte earlier. I was so proud of myself because it was definitely the first time that I felt gutsy enough.

It was the first time that I felt like I could actually say something and not regret it instantly. I had to keep it up and even though I was beginning to doubt myself I was beginning to doubt that it would be a wise decision to make her my personal servant. I had to do it.

She deserved that kind of treatment. Besides, didn't they say to keep your enemies closest? She was currently someone that I had to keep close because if she is far from me then that means she is plotting and I have no idea what she is doing. My mind drifted back to thoughts of Alpha Kane.

He had always been such an intimidating person so I really was never that close with him. That's how I ended up having such a huge fascination with Jack and now I could not remember much about his own upbringing but he has always been brought up like an Alpha which meant he had to develop a heart of stone from a very young age. Otherwise, you would never be fit to be an Alpha if you did not do such a thing.

Suddenly the room was full of noise as Jack bursted in and immediately began yelling for me. “Paige, Paige, where are you?” He asked and I quickly turned around and crossed my arms over my chest.

“ I am right here, what's it to you?” I asked him and he immediately began laughing before he took steps to cover the distance between us.

“This is stooping low. You were really that desperate for my attention, huh? So desperate that you even seduced Alpha Kane? You were unbelievable, you know that, Paige?” He asked me and I really could not believe that these words were coming out of his mouth.

When was he going to realize what was going on right now? When was he going to realize that my life was no longer revolving around him?

“ I don't care what you think happened, but I am going to be your Luna so you better show me some respect”. I said to him and he immediately laughed yet again.

“Fine, you are truly, truly something else now.

You know how to stoop to new lows just to get me to notice you. I have noticed you. You got what you wanted,” he said to me.

And I could not help but laugh as well. “Who said I wanted you to notice me? Why are you so big-headed and cocky?” I had to ask him, but clearly he was not relenting. His brows arched higher as he crossed his arms over his chest and ran some fingers over his chin.

“I'll make you a deal. We can get married next week, but you have to tell Kane to retract the sentence he just gave my father, okay? He does not have to go this far.” He said to me and I could clearly see the stress on his face.

What on earth was he talking about? I had absolutely no idea.

“Sentence? What sentence?” I asked him and he narrowed his eyes at me. “Don't act like you don't know, don't act like you were not part of this.

You told him to do it, didn't you?” He asked me and yet again I was just curious and surprised.

“Your guess is as good as mine. What sentence did he give him?” I asked him and he nodded his head slowly before he lowered his head down to my height so he was staring at me straight in the eyes.

“He just sentenced my father to death, Paige, death!” Those words seemed to vibrate through me and shake me.

Very quickly and I really could not fathom how that could possibly even be true. Sentence to death for what?
