Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 158 – Selene Confronts Dr. Kane

Frederic

Well this is interesting. I didn’t think Selene had it in her to stand up for herself, clearly the betas and Drake have been a worse influence on her than I realized. On the other hand, she is here, and that gives as an opportunity to help her see the error of her ways.

“What do you mean?” I ask, spreading my hands in front of me and inviting her to continue.

“Don’t give me that.” Selene snaps, “You just publicly challenged my husband.”

Goodness, she can be feisty when she wants to. My wolf growls.

Just another bad habit to train out of her. I think back. There were always bound to be a few.

And look, she looks much better, she must have figured out about the pills. My wolf points out, sounding even more irritated than before.

I too have to admit that’s a problem. I had been hoping she’d miscarry without the right drugs, but I didn’t want to trigger it directly because then she’d be released from the hospital and go home. Far better if she be admitted for a drawn out stay and lose the baby towards the end, by which point I’d have been her closest confidant. I still hadn’t given up hope for this plan when she left against my orders, after all I knew she’d be back soon enough without the right care. Unfortunately her watch dogs seem to have figured out that she wasn’t getting better for a reason.

“Yes, I’m sorry about that.” I sigh, trying my best to sound genuine. “This has all been so unfortunate.”

“You’re sorry?” Selene parrots fiercely, “You do realize your actions are hurting some very real people don’t you?”

“And what about the harm to the pack?” I argue back, pressing my hand to my heart. “I have to follow my conscience.” I insist. Reaching forward and clasping her by the arms, I ignore her protests and speak as poignantly as I can manage. “Selene, the pack is suffering.”

She counters incredulously. “You think that exploiting their hardships to make them turn against the best leader we’ve had in a century is going to make things better?” Her tiny hands are pushing at my arms ineffectually, and I can’t help but admire
