Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 193+ Motting the Revolution

Bastien

Making myself wait to take action until hearing from He lene is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My relief over escaping the dungeons with Grayson and James wore off almost immediately after learning that Selene was still Blaise’s captive. I hadn’t really expected her to get away at the same time we did, but my disappointment and worry once Matthew filled us in was proof of the hope I hadn’t let myself acknowledge.

The worst part is waiting for the witch to appear after wards, but my new allies keep reminding me that I won’t be any help to Selene if I get captured again. Only this fact keeps me from storming back to Blaise’s palace and ripping the place apart to find my mate. If I thought the Alpha would face a challenge head on things might be different, but it’s painful ly obvious now that he would never allow a fair fight between us. He’s the worst kind of Alpha, one that relies on his army to maintain his power, rather than letting his strength speak for

itself.

When Helene finally appears, striding into the rebel head quarters as if she owns the place, all my previous concerns evaporate. She hasn’t come alone – in fact she’s with the very last person I ever expected to see here: Frederic.

“What the hell is he doing here?” | demand, surging for ward and barely restraining myself from attacking my cousin.

“Easy Bastien, he’s the one who connected me to your friends here.” Helene explains, holding her hand up to stall my aggression, “He wants to help Selene.”

“Are you out of your mind?” | exclaim, feeling a fresh rush of fury consume my body. It took me a long time to finally sort through all the memories Arabella erased, especially those I gained after her poison campaign began – but I had a lot of time to think in the dungeons and I remember perfectly now. When I look at Frederic all I see is the foul man raising his hand to strike my pregnant mate in broad daylight, and I want to rip him to pieces for that alone – nevermind all his other crimes.

“Selene had the same reaction when I told her.” Helene as sures me. “But in the end she agreed beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to allies.”

“You’re telling me Selene knows about this?” | inquire, thrusting my hand towards Frederic indignantly.

“Yes, she does.” Helene confirms gently. “Trust your mate, Alpha.”

Pacing back and forth across the floor, I try to come to terms with this information, trying to find some logic in how Selene could ever agree to work with my deranged cousin. “What was her state of mind?” I press.it

“She was fine.” Helene stated simply, a suggestion I can not believe given the circumstances, “frightened and stressed but thinking clearly, I assure you.” Helene added, seeming to read my mind.
