Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 169-Odile Breaks… #Chapter 169- Odile Breaks Free

Frederic

I’ve been on the road for hours, following Selene’s trail East and wondering if she’s truly on her way to the Calypso pack. It seems like the only possible destination for the route she and her witchy mentor are taking, but I can’t imagine she’s actually headed someplace where she might be killed just for being a Volana.

If I’m right there’s only one possibility: for one reason or another, she must think that Bastien is there. If I’m lucky, I might be able to catch up to her before she finds him. I know if she would just give me another chance and listen with an open mind, I could convince her to stay with me.

Tregret our fight on the street, especially since it ruined more than ten years of undercover work and exposed me to the pack, but I also regret raising my hand against her. Still, I’m sure I can make her understand what Alpha doesn’t lose his temper every now and then? Shifters are very physical beings – Selene must know that I’ll apologize and make her understand that if she hadn’t been so insolent and disrespectful towards me, I never would have dreamed of hitting her. She simply needs to learn his place. She’s a reasonable she-wolf, she’ll understand everything once I explain.

Getting tired of the silence, I flip the radio on and turn it to the Novan News Network. I know I’m probably not going to like what I hear, but I have to stay tuned in if I’m ever going to figure out a new plan. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have predicted just how unpleasant the news would be. I listen in horror as the reporter’s fuzzy voice relates the day’s latest developments:

Frederic Durand’s mother Odile turned herself into the Elysian enforcers today, claiming that she escaped from the basement of a house in Old Town after being imprisoned by her son. Frederic, who has been living under the assumed identity of Dr Thomas Kane for the last decade, was nowhere to be found when the enforcers went to the address Odile provided. Despite the disgraced wolf’s absence, they were able to verify his mother’s account, describing the basement where he was holding her as being in “deplorable condition.

In a statement to the Novan Press Corps this afternoon, Odile said that she had supported her son from the day he was born and she’d long assisted him in his efforts to become pack Alpha. However their relationship soured when his luck turned for the worse, revealing a cruel streak she’d never before witnessed from her only child. Claiming he struck her on more than one occasion, she displayed bruises and clear signs of abuse, apparently inflicted when she “talked back” to Frederic.

the most recent in a disturbing trend we first witnessed last week, when Selene Durand exposed her Cousin-in-law on camera, and almost became a victim of the man’s temper herself – despite being pregnant. Enforcers have vowed that tracking down Frederic is their top priority, with Beta Aiden
