Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 15

When they thought that all hope was lost, Rowena blurted out, “Gracie, please do me the favor.”

Jaxon slowly relaxed, understanding that she had not turned completely heartless. There was only one problem. “He said that he won’t see anyone except you.” Jaxon informed Rowena. She ensured to not meet his gaze when he spoke. The da mn mate bond was making her feel giddy for no good reason. She also admitted that Jaxon was better looking than his kid brother.

“Then I’m sorry he might die. Gracie is good. She can take care of things,” Rowena’s voice lowered at the last part before she turned to Gracie and said, “Gracie, once you are done, we shall leave together with my mom.”

Jaxon’s heart bled again. Why is she so bent on leaving when she just arrived?” Well, he would just have to find a way to make her stay. Perhaps let her utilize her skills at the pack hospital. Yes, that will be the best way!

“I don’t want to leave, Row, I’m sorry. This is where I belong.” Alice said defiantly, Rowena was dismayed. She wanted to close every chapter on this pack but her mother was making it very difficult for her.

“Then I will leave but mom, I will never come back again if I do,” she said in a serious tone, which made Jaxon aggravated. How was she expecting him to live without her?

“Aren’t you over reacting?” Jaxon asked her.

“Really Alpha? Overreacting? Have you any idea about how it feels? Please don’t forget that I’m just an omega,” bitterness registered in Rowena’s tone and eyes whiles she conveyed her message.

“And you can’t lie that you are not feeling the bond,” Jaxon pointed out, hoping that it would change her mind but sadly.

“It’s the reason why I have to go and if you will not have Gracie check on your father, then we will check into a hotel and leave by the next available flight tomorrow.” Rowena, was not willing to even stay the night. Everything about the pack house was bringing bitter memories, though their home looked cozier than before, which she could attribute to Jaxon like her mother stated her the letters.

“Alright, Gracie, please come with me,” Jaxon spoke. For Rowena to leave, then he would settle for Gracie. The longer Rowena stayed, the better his chances of winning her over but then he recalled something and said, “Sorry I did not bring my car but you look tired so just wait here. I will get the car and come for you.”
