Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 130

#Chapter 130 – Odile Learns a Secret

Selene

“What do you mean, Frederic wants to claim me for himself?” I ask nervously. glancing back and forth between the two betas.

“The message he sent Bastien made it very clear, Selene.* Donovan sighs. “He plans on taking you for his mate, whether you agree or not.”

That doesn’t make any sense. I think uselessly.

Why not? Luna asks. You’re the Alpha’s mate, you have his child and the pack loves you both. Who better to convince them to accept Frederic as their new leader than you?

Ignoring my wolf, I press, “Why? Just to spite Bastien?”

The men exchange a look that sends my stomach lurching up into my throat. “That’s possible.” Aiden admits.

“But?” I prompt, knowing there has to be more to this.

“But we think-” Donovan begins, only to have Aiden cut him off.

“No, we promised Bastien.” The younger man argues.

“You promised.” Donovan corrects, “I think she has a right to know.” Pursing his lips and eyeing me with staid resolve, he continues. “We it’ s highly likely Frederic has been posing as someone you know.

He probably doesn’t just want you on principle… there’s a strong chance he’s truly interested in you.. romantically.”

“How is that possible?” I ask. “How could he be in the city without being recognized?”

“He was only a boy when his father was killed, and he hasn’t lived here since.” Aiden sighs, “Besides, he could be in disguise for all we know. It’s clear he’s very clever.”

“And I suppose Bastien intended to keep all this from me?” I demand, indignant anger rising up inside my chest. Suddenly I don’t feel nearly so bad about lying to my mate about Dr. Kane. The nerve of the man: forbidding me from keeping secrets, then turning around and keeping a thousand of his own.

“He wanted to protect you.” Donovan sighs. After what happened with the safe house-”

“You know I’m getting really tired of people trying to protect me by keeping me in the dark.” I snap, cutting him off before he can remind me how badly I wished I’d stayed in the dark about the spy cameras in Asphodel.
