51\u2013I Feel Rejected\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked her in bewilderment. I wanted her to repeat herself because I swore I had heard her wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGraham, I don\u2019t want anyone to find out,\u201d she repeated, louder and clearer this time, shocking me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t want anyone to find out that I\u2019m mates with you?\u201d I asked, trying to be sure, trying to understand if she was really that embarrassed to be my mate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t understand, Graham. I don\u2019t want anyone to talk about us. And neither do I want-\u201d She paused, looking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, say it. You don\u2019t want me as your mate. Is that it?\u201d I asked, my heart pounding in my chest. It stung deeply that she didn\u2019t want to be with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThink whatever you want,\u201d she replied. \u201cBut the truth is, we need to make sure this whole thing just ends and\u2026\u201d She gasped suddenly, slapping her forehead. \u201cOh gosh, how will your wife react to this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that it? Are you worried about my wife?\u201d I asked, trying to figure out what was running through her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Graham, it\u2019s not just your wife. You need to understand, I have a husband too,\u201d she started, making me roll\u00a0<\/p>\n
my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know why she kept lying about having a husband. I knew the truth, she was a single mother. But why wasn\u2019t she happy to know that I was her mate?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It took me back to when she used to wait desperately for my response. She had a crush on me once and wanted me to accept her, but I didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had my reasons, but there were moments when I could have texted her and let her know how I felt, but I didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I should have tried harder because, over the years, she might have built some resentment toward me. Or maybe she had just stopped loving me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So it wasn\u2019t really her fault that she seemed done with the idea. But I never thought she would be so upset to find\u00a0<\/p>\n
out that we were mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, can you please go and tell them that we\u2019re not ready to give any interviews right now? I need to get back to my suite, change into my own clothes, and gather my thoughts first,\u201d she said, looking tired as she headed toward the bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stood still, feeling rejected. Was this how she had felt when she found out that we didn\u2019t want the babies?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I seemed to be in her place now rejected and unwanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then my phone started to beep. Seeing Kaylee\u2019s name flash on the screen already felt like bad news. The timing couldn\u2019t have been worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d I greeted as I picked up the call, but she immediately began throwing a tantrum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019re not at the pack next town? You lied to me just so you could go and be with that whore?\u201d she shouted through the phone, sniffling and gasping for air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalm down, Kaylee. And how many times have I told you not to use that word for her?,\u201d I warned her, but it only made her angrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you back right now. Right now!\u201d she screamed into the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could hear my father grunting and arguing with Mr. Robinson in the background, demanding to know how he didn\u2019t realize where I had gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he couldn\u2019t have known, I hadn\u2019t told him which pack I was heading to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going back until I\u2019m done with this task. You heard me, Kaylee, and stop trying to control me,\u201d I hissed, reminding her that controlling me wouldn\u2019t work anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could hear the shock in her voice on the other end of the line. But as soon as I saw Madeline come out of the bathroom, I instantly ended the call to face her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho was it?\u201d she asked, her wet hair clinging to her shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one. No one important,\u201d I replied, gesturing for her to stay back so I could tell the others we weren\u2019t ready for an interview yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stepped out and told them it was inappropriate for them to show up like this, and that they needed to wait until we were back home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline had children she needed to check on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They apologized and left, but I wasn\u2019t sure they understood what they had done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sadly, I was worried about how Madeline would react once she found out that my wife had already called angry because she\u2019d seen something on the live broadcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, I wasn\u2019t sure what exactly had been shown or what the cameras had caught, things I couldn\u2019t check in front of Madeline. It would only frighten her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I was sure the reporters had left, I walked Madeline out of the cabin and took her to my car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had a bad feeling that sooner or later, people would start coming after us, trying to take pictures and follow our every move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So I hurried her along and helped her into the passenger seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I started the car and drove back to her hotel. During the ride, my phone kept buzzing with calls from Kaylee and my father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I even received a few texts from my father, threatening that if I didn\u2019t answer his calls, things wouldn\u2019t go well for me in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I was an Alpha now and I was the future. Five years had passed, and Kaylee still hadn\u2019t given him an heir. So now I had the right to marry someone else and finally give him one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he didn\u2019t realize, though, was that he had never added Madeline\u2019s name to that clause. He never said I wasn\u2019t allowed to marry her next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the real problem was Madeline herself. She didn\u2019t seem interested in me, and that hurt. She had a crush on me once, so I knew it wouldn\u2019t be long before she fell for me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as we arrived at the hotel, I noticed a few warriors standing near the entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I guessed Baxter had placed them there in case any of the kids\u2018 sickness got worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We opened the door and stepped inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madeline rushed past Baxter, who had been pacing anxiously, to check on her children, while I was left facing him and he didn\u2019t look pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
