Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 33
Without Clara and her friends being at training, everything seemed different. No one caused trouble and both Rowena and Gracie were comfortable. They did their non ammud the training arena for four times without sweat before joining the beginners. Even the old Alpha was there to help this time, which booster the moral el all the young trainees
Both of them were serious and seeing how Charles was patient with Gracie, ignoring, her silly mistakes, Howena was amazed. When they were given their five minutes break, Rowena asked Grace,
“What happened?”
Gracie chuckled, recalling what Charles told her but she wanted to hear it from Rowena’s mouth and tease her a little. “I should be asking how you disappeared from the house.”
“I don’t know, I just slept and wake up in Jaxon’s room, Rowena shook her head and said, whiles she sipped a little water. They were both a sweating mess but did not regret being at training at this time,
“I never knew you to be a sleepwalker so what happened?” Gracie asked seriously since Rowera confirmed what Charles told her.
“I seriously cannot remember,” Rowena said thoughtfully whiles Gracie asked,
-Se, was he angry?”
“No, he was surprised but took it calmly, joking at the same time that the same thing would happen if I leave for Canada,” Rowena chuckled and spoke. Grace had a little hape in her heart and asked,
“Do you think it might happen? Do you plan to leave!”
At first, Rowena was certain that she had the answer to that question but it did not seem so anymore. “You have not told me what happened to you,” Rowena pointed out.
“Fine. I was still sleeping when I heard a knock on the door. I thought you were in the washicom so I went to check and to my shock, Charles was standing there nervously. He was stammering when he said that you sleepwalked to Jon’s room and he had to take me to training. Ther he asked to see mom, You should see the shock on mom’s face to hear him stammer, when he said that Jaxon was not returning for brunch but supper”
“Wait…not retiring?” Rowena frowned and asked, since she was not privy to that p
tpart of the plan
“guess he’s taking you somewhere,” Gracie smiled and spoke. Rowena clased her eyes in a thoughtful mode and let out.
“I recalled him saying yesterday that he wanted d to take me around the pack.”
“So how was your first night together?” Gracie asked with interest. She did not have much to say since Charles did not say much on their way to the training arena. The man was nervous all through and Gracie could not point out the reason. She also did not burden him with any questions “Chill, Gracie, nothing happened between us, Rowena chuckled and said, surprised by Gracie’s unholy thoughts. Gracie had a knowing look on her face as she said,
“Just let him mare you already Row, you two belongs together
to their positions.
“Pack, break time over,” Jaxon announced and everyone returned to

Jaxon was delighted to have his father helping them out with the new recruits, feeling grateful. It took another two hours before training was over. Jaxon walked over to Rowena and said, “you can shower and change at my place before the tour
“What about Gracie? Can’t she come?” Rowena asked womedy, it would not be nice to leave her best friend behind and idle since they were used to the busy kind of life.
Jaxon looked over and called Charles. When he arrived, Jason asked, “Can you take Gracie around the pack? She is a doctor but I don’t doubt she could help in the office as well since Clara is lousy” he added.
Jaxon never saw Gracie as a third wheel but at this time, he needed a bonding moment with Rowena, for which reason he did not want Gracie to come along. Also, it was a good time for Charles to be dose to his mate.
“Okay” Charley agreed to everyone’s surprise without any argument, Gracie smiled and said,
bother you Chartes but i haw to
to go ar
and shower first. She expected him to agree to take her home but not,
“You can shower at my place except the female clothes in my closet
“I will give her clothes,” Jason said to cut off his stress. He knew the female clothes in Charles’s closet belonged to Clara. Aber everything was agreed on, the parties left for the same destination in differend vehicles after the two women greeted the old Alpha, who was excited to see them.
Gracie liked this arrangement for two reasons. Number one, Charles was her mate and she had no ustention of giving up on him easily. Secondly, he was already dating Clare. That should be a pity but to Gracie, it would be a good pay back to Cara for all she did to Rowena, to see her man snatched from her as well. Gracie was not as meek as she looked
At the pack house, Jason allowed Rowena to shower first whiles he picked some clothes for Grace. They were about five, which he wanted to be kept in Charles closet since he intended to create more opportunities for Gracie to spend time in Charles’s room.
When he went to deliver the clothes to Charles in his room, Gracie was in the shower so Jaxon sakl, i hope you don’t reject her also because I doubt

Chapter 33
the Moon goddess will ever be merciful to you again.”
For as long as Jaxon knew, Charles did not deserve a woman like Gracie but he was surprised by Charles’s response, “I don’t intend to.”
“Good but I will also not advise that you keep two women in your life. You have to decide,” Jaxon looked over his shoulder and spoke.
“I have already arrived at a decision,” Charles revealed, catching Jaxon’s interest.
“Which is?” He asked.
Charles smiled and replied, “I will like to keep that piece of information to myself for now.”
“Alright, I just hope it isn’t Rowena because I might just send you to an early grave,” Jaxon warned seriously
Charles chuckled but did not respond. When Jaxon went back to his mom, he forgot to knock on his door, thereby opening it to Rowena, who had stepped out from the bathroom naked. She thought Jason had excused her like he always did, not expecting him to return anytime soon.
He legs felt weak, as their pazes met. The desire in Jason’s eyes burned like wild fire and the passion in Rowena’s eyes left her puzzled. They felt drawn to each other like and magnet and she did not know when Jaxon stood right in front of her with their gazes locked on each other.
“Move in with me,” he said in a husky voice, whiles he tried to fight the urge of claiming her right there and then.
“…” Rowena felt a lump in her throat.
“We belong to each other Row, I promise to not touch you until you give me permission, even as everything in me desires for you,” his eyes body like he wanted to eat her raw,
Rowena’s cheeks recidened, her legs felt like jelly whiles her body burned from the fire in his eyes. “I don’t think it’s a good idea”
Jaxon swallowed tightly, dismay flashed in his eyes. “You gave me a week so how could we make the best of each other when you spend eight hours away?” his voice was pleading and Rowena felt remorse. She wanted him too but she did not want to make any mistake.
“That eight hours is used for sleep,” she let out. Jason let out a frustrated sigh, as he tried to convince and make her to see things from his perspective.
“The greatest bonds are created when mates sleep together on the same bed. Even without sex or marking, it works effectively.”
Rowena felt so ashamed standing naked in front of him, she wanted to dig a hole and hide but he had already seen everything and there was no denying that he was right. “Please let me think about it.”
Hope shone in Jaxon’s eyes as he pushed further, “I can’t wait How, eight years without giving myself to any woman is not easy.”
His confession caught Rowena’s attention but she was not guilty in any sense, also revealing, “All my life, I never gave myself to any man so you should
understand”
Jaxon pursed his lips but did not say anymore. Rowena saw a flash of pain in his eyes and asked, “can you tell me about your destined mate!” She could guess that Jaxon had been hurt before but unlike her, he was ready to take the risk again,
