Hiding His Baby The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 41

41. Silver
“I will fucking kill you!” Dominic growled at Derrick as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Athena. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.
She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn’t believe that Dominic came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn’t be dying or be going with Derrick. She knew Dominic won’t let that happen in a million years.
She didn’t know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!
“Don’t interfere here, alpha Dominic. It’s none of your business!” Derrick growled at Dominic after getting u p from the ground.
He tried to take a step toward them but Dominic’s one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That’s the power he held. Even Derrick’s warriors weren’t brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? I t ran away already.
“How dare you say that to me?! It’s fucking my territory!” Dominic let out another growl as his eyes turned completely black, ready to kill a few. He wanted to even kill Derrick but as the leader of the territory, he won’t be able to do that without discussing it with the counsellors. Because it could throw him out of his throne. Not that he was afraid of anyone.
But it was still so fucking frustrating!
“It might be but I will leave as soon as I get my job done here.” Derrick announced while gritting his teeth t o contain his anger.
Because he already ruined everything by going through his anger. If he hadn’t been a stupid and left the place earlier, then the witch would have removed all the trace of something happening there. Everything would have gone silently and peacefully. But he just ruined everything even though everything was going s o smoothly.
But now that he thinks, he realised that it was all Athena’s plan. She was wasting time deliberately to buy some time before someone comes to find her and eventually saves her. She even got beaten for that.
That sneaky little bitch!
“What’s that fucking job that you are doing here in my territory?! If beating her is your job, then you better send your prayers to the goddess because I am going to kill you today! How dare you touch her?! I will fucking rip your hands off of your shoulder for touching her!” Dominic shouted in anger while literally shaking to make his words come true.
He wouldn’t stop himself from doing so if someone else was with him to take care of Athena. Because he can’t just leave her almost dying here to kill Derrick. Who knows if his people take her away in that mean time.
No! He can’t let that happen. He was ready to even tolerate Derrick to keep her safe.
Why was he being so caring toward her suddenly?
“I am telling you again, don’t interfere in my matter. I will see how to handle my mate. I beat her, love her, kill her or keep her alive. It’s my decision because she is my mate. She belongs to me.” Derrick announced in a strong tone and that was like a bomb for both of them, Dominic and Athena. They looked at him in shock and confusion. 1

“Mate?”
“Mate?”
They both asked at the same time. They shared a confused look before looking back at Derrick to understand what he meant.
“Yes, your maid, this woman, Athena. She is my mate. And I am here to take her with me!” Derrick once again said in the same strong and confidence filled tone while smirking down at both of them.
*Are you fucking kidding me?” Dominic growled while pulling Athena closer to his heart, hugging her tighter as he glared at him murderously. The thought of Athena not being his anymore, made him want to destroy everything.

On the other hand, Athena was confused would be an understatement. Mate? Derrick was calling himself as her mate? Why? Why was he lying? Why was he lying so confidently?
She agrees that she pretended to have a second chance mate but she didn’t actually mean it. She will be doomed and die rather than having Derrick as her second chance mate. She was never going to agree to that.
“That’s right, Alpha Dominic. She is my mate. And I hope you know how we, werewolves, can get when someone tries to mess with our mate. She is my mate and I won’t tolerate you looking at her in any way o r worse even touching her. I am not liking that at all.” Derrick growled and was going to take a step toward him to pull Athena away from Dominic but Dominic’s another growl, yet again forced his steps to halt.
“Don’t fuck with me! She is not your mate! She can’t be your mate! Did you hear me? Don’t even dare to come near her! I will fucking kill you!” He growled in anger. His canines were coming out and he was ready to tear Derrick apart.
His wolf was getting restless and badly wanted to come and do the job of killing Derrick. How dare he talk about his mate like that?!
“And why is that? Why do you think she can be my mate? How would you even know that?” Derrick asked with a smirk as he raised his eyebrows at Dominic mockingly.
“Because….. Because she is… she…” Dominic’s heartbeat rose as he looked at Athena. He didn’t know how to express what she was to him. It was not hard but he felt as if he didn’t have the right to do so.
On the other hand, Athena felt hurt seeing the hesitation in him. For the first time that night, tears rolled down her eyes. She didn’t cry even for once, despite all the beating that night. This pain was ten times stronger than the physical pain.
“You are still hesitant to acknowledge that, huh? I am that shameful for you… it’s okay… I understand… Ahh … yo…you don’t ne…need to say something you don’t accept…” Athena coughed out some blood as spoke up. She was getting weaker by every passing second.
“Shut up, bitch! You are my mate and I don’t allow you to talk to any other male!” Derrick growled and it sounded funny to both of them. They both ignored him as she was busy trying to keep calm while he was trying to wrap his mind around what she said.
Was he ashamed of her? Yes. Was he ashamed of her at that moment? No! Every negative feeling just vanished into thin air and he was left with nothing else other than the fear of losing her.
“How fucking dare you touch MY MATE! I will fucking kill you! She is mine! So, don’t even try to touch her again! That will be the last day of you in this world. Do you understand me?!” He growled while pulling Athena more than closer, trying to protect her by his tight hug.
At that moment, Athena was shocked would be an understatement. She was beyond that as she looked a t him with fascination,
“Your mate? Now is that some kind of joke? She is my mate and I can prove that!” Derrick spoke up in confidence, shocking them again.
“How?” Dominic asked with gritted teeth.
“The mate bond. Nothing is more powerful than the mate bond for mates. Now, let’s see if she can feel it with you or me. With whoever she feels it, she is his mate.” Derrick said with a smirk, confusing them once again. They both looked at each other before looking back at Derrick.
“Okay then.” Athena breathed out and slowly raised her shaking hands up to Dominic’s cheeks and cupped his face. Within a few seconds her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “D…do… Dominic… Dominic! I…I can’t feel it! Dominic!” She cried out when she couldn’t feel the spark after touching her and that’s when he realised the same thing as well.
The sparks were gone.
“M…me too… What’s happening? Why can’t I feel the connection with you anymore? It was there a moment ago as well. Why?!” Dominic exclaimed in shock and confusion while touching her face and caressing her face repeatedly to feel those magical sparks which they ignored till then.
“Okay, how about now, mate?” Derrick asked with a smirk as he touched her this time as she immediately pulled her hand away and looked at him in shock.

“I don’t know what’s happening, Dominic! …. …. why do I feel the connection with him?” She cried out loud i n despair and shock.
She didn’t want that. She doesn’t want that! She was happy with what she had, even if he didn’t want her. But Derrick?! It’s the worst thing ever.
“Don’t panic, honey! It’s normal you won’t feel anything for him. Because you are my mate and you are supposed to feel all that only for me. Come on. Let me make you feel out of the world.” He smirked and tried to touch her again but she pushed him away and scooted closer to Dominic and hid her face on his chest.
