Pregnant and rejected by my alpha

Three

Chapter Three

Kyan's POV

"How could she try to pull such a a childish truck and behave all fussy for nothing?" I lamented loudly as I stormed into my room.

I felt a gentle hand caress my back and my anger slowly dissipated, Andrea stood there with a comforting look in her eyes.

"Don't make a big deal out of this, it's nothing." She advised.

I clasped my hands and sat on the bed, she was right, it's absolutely nothing or so I made myself believe. I was partly annoyed that Keiera let of of her self and wouldn't take her medications all for a cold, was she trying to gain my attention all along or was she just fussy? I had no definite answer to my question.

"You know, I've always looked forward to the day I'll be reunited with you and this is not how I imagined it." Andrea remarked.

My expression softened and I gently held her hands in mine, I stared into the chocolate brown eyes that risked her own life to save mine years ago, the same person who wouldn't bat an eyelid in the face of danger if it meant it would keep me safe, she was my haven and everything, my first mate whom I treasured.

"I'm glad you're back Andres." I whispered, uttering the words from my soul.

She smiled, her eyes glistening and my mind drifted back to Keiera, how her emerald green eyes would shine with excitement whenever I held her hands or spoke softly to her.

Andrea pouted and plunged herself beside me.

"You know, this should have been us, I'd never make you unnecessarily worried about anything." She commented.

I chuckled softly and turned to face her.

"You look as beautiful as I remember." I complimented her, causing her to blush.

"You know, this would have never happened if I had just stayed with you back then, I shouldn't have left. Believe me, I regret it every living hour and I always yearned to be reunited with you and it took years for that to happen, during the period of my absence a lot had happened as well, things I have no control over." Andrea lamented, her tone portraying guilt and regret.

I cupped her face in my palm and shook my head.

"Don't beat yourself to it, nothing has changed." I assured her.

She gently got rid of my hand from her face and stood up.

"Don't be polite about it Kyan, I know you don't want to hurt me but I have to admit the truth. It's all because of my absence that you had to suffer like this, my wolf was restless for months and I almost died from the pain of separation, I wondered if it could hurt that much then rejection would be equivalent to death." She reminisced.

I kept mute, also remembering how hard it was for me to let my mate go, we didn't have a fight or anything but she had to leave and I was left with emptiness and loneliness, the bane of my soul's existence.

Andrea, seeing my sullen expression, squatted before me and held my hands.

"But I'm here now, we can redeem ourselves and correct our mistakes, change the course of fate to what it ought to be." She uttered, enthusiastically.

I smiled at her as she displayed one of the attributes that made her irreplaceable for me but my mind kept drifting back to Keiera and I found myself wondering how she fared.

"I know you got married in my absence, I had always thought you would wait for me, for us." Andrea's voice pierced through my worried thoughts.

The part of me that loved and cared for her was stirred instantly, I saw a flash of pain in her eyes and I could tell my marriage was a big blow to her, I wanted to desperately tell her that I had never intended to marry Keiera who is my second mate but grandma had insisted because she saw I was suffering without Andrea and she also loved Keiera and there was no way I would refuse her whatever she asks of me.

"You'd never hurt me Kyan, that I know and I'm also aware that your marriage to her is contractual, it's loveless and you're doing this only because you're a filial grandson who wishes to see his grandmother happy, but I'm here now, you don't have to worry about that anymore, I would ensure she sees that I'm the only right woman for you." Andrea boasted.

Before I could say a word, Andrea engulfed me in a hug and I took in her scent which made my wolf more excited than ever. I've missed that scent, the scent of the woman who saved my life when the war broke out, whom without I would have been dead. She broke the hug and looked me straight in the eye.

"It's time to make things right." She opined.

"I know, I'll convince grandma to-"

"Reject her." She interrupted.

I was taken aback for a moment, my face betraying my emotions by portraying them.

"What!" I exclaimed.

"Keiera, you two were never meant to be together in the first place and I'm here now, it's only reasonable and right that you reject and let her go else we'll never be together, do it, for us." Andrea uttered, convincingly.

"Of course I'd reject her but right after grandma's surgery, she might find out about it and refuse to have the surgery, it will only further complicate issues. As soon as the surgery is successful and grandma recuperates, Keiera would be put in her place, where she truly belongs and I get to stay with the love of my life." I promised.

Andrea chuckled softly and gave me a nod of appreciation, she then settled down beside me and rested her head on my shoulders, intertwining our hands like we used to do. My mind was made up, I would reject Keiera and let her go, after all I wasn't interested in her and the woman I've pined for was here now.

She might be reluctant to accept the rejection since we were mates but I decided to make it so cruel that she wouldn't dare refuse me but a question pricked at my heart; can I bear to do such?
