Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 7

Jaxon gazed at Charles who instantly excused himself from the group of newbies he was training before. He knew Jaxon’s anger towards Clara for what she did to Rowena but was grateful that his brother controlled it because of him. Whereas when he reached his brother, he understood the reason for the confusion.

“Dinner?” Jaxon asked with raised brows. Until Rowena returned, he was determined to keep Alice company by having breakfast and dinner with her. Since breakfast turns to brunch because of their morning workouts, two meals a day was perfect for him.

“Sorry, it had been arranged a week ago. I am yet to handover the program of activities I was working with before. Alpha Zumla and his Luna would be dining with us for a business collaboration.”

Jaxon realized that he would not be able to spend time with Alice as he had wanted but then again, he could inform Alice when he goes for breakfast that he would have an early supper before attending the dinner. What mattered was his presence at the dinner and not the food.

“Okay,” Jaxon agreed. He decided to spend time with Charles at the pack office later to plan towards all the pending activities. He was also planning to invest all the profits made during his work in Canada into the pack’s business to help it to grow better.

Clara was not used to being ignored. Since Jaxon had not answered, she was displeased but forced a smile before drawing closer and asking again, “does it mean I can attend?”

Jaxon looked at Charles and said, “take care of your girl.” There was irritation in his voice which made Clara frown. She was used to having men’s attention but Jaxon was not even sparing her a glance which made her self-conscious, whereas she knew that she looked better than before. Charles was quite disappointed by Clara’s behavior. How could she be flirting with his elder brother? Gazing at her with a displeased look, he asked,

“Clara, I already said you could come so why are you asking my brother?”

Clara’s face reddened with shame by Charles’s displeased gaze. How could he catch through her actions so fast? She needed. to be careful. Though she wanted the Luna title, if she got Charles offended, she might not be allowed into the pack house again and that would ruin her chances of winning Jaxon over. Putting on a pitiful look, she apologized, saying,
