Hiding His Baby The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

53. In the pack house 

“Hey, Athena! I am surprised to find you here!” Patricia exclaimed as soon as she saw Athena walking inside the pack house awkwardly while looking around subconsciously.

“H…hey, Patricia…” Athena greeted her softly, trying not to gain as much attention. But her plan ruined as soon as Patricia called her loudly from the big group she was sitting with.

Patricia was sitting with a group of female pack members. They were generally chatting while playing cards. They were in a good mood as they all laughed around to something someone said when Athena came inside. There were six women in total, including Patricia and it seems like Patricia being the third in command, arranged a refreshing free time for those pack members.

“Athena? Why are you standing there? Come here! Join us. Come!” Patricia exclaimed while urging her to come and join them.

The table went silent as soon as everyone noticed her and she felt more uncomfortable because of that. Everyone in that area was looking at her with a blank expression on their faces. Athena recognised them all. They were present at that party. So, they recognised her as well.

If only she could know what they were thinking!

She looked around to look for other known faces like Suzanne or Nathan, Justin, Dominic. Even Stacey would work at that moment. Because as soon as she sees her face, her tempers go up and she immediately becomes someone else who is ready to not let anyone step over her!

She let out a small sigh as she stood beside the chair Patricia was sitting on. Patricia looked up at her with a smile, not caring about anyone else at that moment.

“I am sorry, I don’t want to disturb you. I will leave now.” Athena quickly said and was going to turn around to leave but Patricia held her hand and stopped her at the right time. She stood up from the sofa and looked at her with an assuring smile.

“It’s okay. You are not disturbing anyone. I am very happy that you came here. Otherwise you are always stuck in that mansion.” Patricia complained with a pout.

“Well, I wasn’t feeling very good there as well. Also, I completed all the chores. So I thought about walking around a little. But then I thought to make some cookies with Ace as he absolutely loved them. And it’s been so long since I made them last for him.” She said with a small smile and Patricia’s eyes twinkled in happiness as soon as she heard about cookies.

“Not only him, I love your cookies as well! Ace shared with me and Justin and we became fans immediately.” Patricia exclaimed as everyone stayed silent and didn’t say anything.

“Thank you, Patricia. I will give some to you again. I just came here to look for Ace. I will leave after taking him.” She quickly explained herself while trying her best to not look around.

“Oh, he must be playing in the garden with other kids. It will be the kids’ snack time soon. They will be here any time. Why don’t you sit with us till then?” She asked and Athena’s eyes widened in shock. But before she could say something, Patricia looked at the women who were sitting silently till then. “What do you say, ladies?” She asked with a smile.

They all looked at each other and they seemed to mind linking each other. Athena looked at them with a small frown, ready to leave as soon as they showed disagreement with Patricia’s words.

The women discussed something among them before looking at them as they waited for their responses,

“Well, what about Stacey? Won’t she be angry?” One of them asked in a little bit worried tone. Patricia
