Rejected by My Alpha, Carrying His Heir

JEALOUS EYES

I could feel her watching me again.

Alina.

Her gaze followed me across the dining hall, sharp and calculating. She sat beside Kael, her posture perfect, her presence commanding attention like always.

Like she belonged there.

Unlike me.

“Why is she here?” I heard someone whisper.

I kept my head down, focusing on my food, pretending not to notice.

But it was impossible to ignore the tension.

“You’re not eating enough.”

My fork paused mid-air.

Kael’s voice.

I looked up slowly.

“I’m fine,” I said.

“You said that before,” he replied, his tone firm.

Before I could respond, Alina spoke.

“She’s an omega, Kael. Maybe she’s just not used to proper meals,” she said lightly, but the insult was clear.

A few people around the table chuckled quietly.

My grip tightened around my fork but I refused to react.

“I can take care of myself,” I said, my voice steady.

Kael didn’t look at her.

His eyes stayed on me.

Then he said "Eat"

It wasn’t a suggestion.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Then slowly, I continued eating.

But I could feel it.

The shift.

The tension.

And most of all…

Alina’s jealousy growing stronger by the second.
